• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Hang on for that. It's Cubby and Christine, producer Kristen.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I'm looking up the definition of intellectual. I mean, we
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: kind of already know what it is. But the official
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: definition of intellectual means something relating to the ability to think, reason,
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: and understand ideas. Or a person who spends their time
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: studying and thinking about complex subjects.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: With that said.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Where are the intellectual cities, Christine? Are we in one
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: of them?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: We are in one of them. One of the top 10.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: In the U.S.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Yes. Of the most intellectual cities, according to this study.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: And a lot of it is based on us having
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: deep conversations.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Like us as in New Yorkers? New Jersey.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Yes. So not just that, you know, we're surrounded by
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: great colleges and hospitals and museums and libraries. But like,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: do we actually sit and discuss these things? And survey
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: says number one on the list is Boston, Massachusetts.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: For the Smarties.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: A little bit of a rival here.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: I thought this is not going to sit well with us.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: At least it's close by.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: It's okay. Yeah. And listening in coffee shops, that sort
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: of thing. That's how this study was done. What are
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: people discussing? So Boston came up followed by Hartford, Connecticut.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: All good schools around those areas, too.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that has a lot to do with it, too.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: San Francisco is third on the list, followed by Providence,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: Rhode Island, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: A lot of Northeast so far, except for San Francisco.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: We'll take it. San Jose, California is number six, number seven, Portland, Oregon.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Number eight, New York City.

  Speaker 2: Wow, two hours from where I grew up.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I grew up in Virginia Beach, so I'll take it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, not bad. And Washington, D.C. rounds out the top 10. Now,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: do you want to do the least intellectual? And again,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: I am simply reading a list. This is not my decision.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I have probably lived in all these places.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: No, I just don't want to insult anybody.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: I'm the reason the poll went down.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: All right, here we go. Number one, Riverside, California.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Somebody might be tuned in on the iHeartRadio app in Riverside, California.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Sorry about that.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Not me. Not me. Not judging. Fresno came in second.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Fresno.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Las Vegas.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: A lot of West Coast.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I know.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: Wow. You're really making the West Coast mad.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: Las Vegas, followed by Houston, Texas.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I did live there.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: But you moved.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Not intellectual.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: You moved. And Phoenix, Arizona for the top five. Least intellectual.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Very interesting how it really is West, like way West.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: They didn't bring up a Florida thing. They didn't bring
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: up anything on the East Coast is not intellectual. So
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a lot of smart people on the Eastern Seaboard.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah. And we'll take that.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: We got to keep it going.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But sometimes you're with your partner and you realize, you
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: know what?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I've known this partner for a long time. They're dumb.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about that come up next. I'm
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not talking about my wife. I'm talking about just in general.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: In general, of course.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: At what point did you find out that your partner
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: may not have it all intellectually? We will talk about
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: that coming up at 7.05, a very funny article that
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we've been reading.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: What do you have coming up in the news, Christine?
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Let's check out the headlines. And ladies, apparently we can't
