- 15:24Speaker 2: And now the answer is to the big Bang round.
- 15:27Speaker 2: Question one, Long Lead, England is home to the longest,
- 15:31Speaker 2: though not the largest, of what kind of attraction? A
- 15:36Speaker 2: hedge maze?
- 15:39Speaker 1: Question two? What's the name of the anthropomorphic serial mascot

- 16:01Speaker 1: they're great.
- 16:03Speaker 2: That's the origin of their great.
- 16:05Speaker 1: They're gratcho.
- 16:09Speaker 2: Question three. Life on the Mississippi was the first ever
- 16:15Speaker 2: manuscript of what kind typewritten, so he didn't actually type it.
- 16:22Speaker 2: That's why his secretary is credited. She typed it up
- 16:26Speaker 2: from his handwritten stuff and submitted it typewritten to the publishers.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Yeah, and finally, which Stephen king novel is his best selling,
- 16:36Speaker 1: featuring an imaginary friend named Tony, a hedge maze, and
- 16:40Speaker 1: a typewriter used by the main character. It's The Shining,
- 16:49Speaker 1: the Shinin Shinin.
- 16:51Speaker 2: Does that surprise you, I think, well, when you asked me,
- 16:56Speaker 2: I guess the stand and it because I just for
- 17:00Speaker 2: got about the shining, because you can't stand it, because
- 17:02Speaker 2: I can't stand it. I've read the stand, I haven't
- 17:08Speaker 2: read it, and I haven't read the Shining. I don't
- 17:11Speaker 2: I don't like spooky stuff. But maybe we can go
- 17:13Speaker 2: to SD's Park because it's in Colorado and I can
- 17:17Speaker 2: read it while we're in the hotel. And it really
- 17:20Speaker 2: disturbed myself. But no, if I had thought of the Shining,
- 17:25Speaker 2: I still might have said it just because of all
- 17:28Speaker 2: the movie adaptations. I would guess that every time a
- 17:31Speaker 2: movie comes out there'd be a little yeah bump in sales.
- 17:35Speaker 2: But how about you?
- 17:36Speaker 1: Does it surprise you maybe a bit. I would have
- 17:39Speaker 1: thought the Stand would have been up there and it
- 17:42Speaker 1: as well, But I think this one got an earlier start.
- 17:45Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that makes sense, So.
- 17:47Speaker 1: That might be why it's carrying the torch. It wasn't
- 17:50Speaker 1: as first, No, that was Carrie. Yeah, but it was
- 17:53Speaker 1: in the seventies.
- 17:54Speaker 2: So yeah, So I think it's it makes sense. And
- 17:58Speaker 2: I think if you had been, like, name the top three,
- 18:01Speaker 2: I would have definitely given it top three. I think
- 18:03Speaker 2: it's it would have been hard to know that it
- 18:05Speaker 2: was number one.
- 18:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 18:07Speaker 2: And isn't this the one where he hated what Kubrick
- 18:09Speaker 2: did with I think so yeah. I think it's one
- 18:12Speaker 2: of his least favorite because he praises a lot of
- 18:15Speaker 2: the film adaptations and television and things like that. He's
- 18:18Speaker 2: not what's the guy a Watchman guy? Doesn't he hate
- 18:21Speaker 2: all adaptation at more? Yeah? So, I think Stephen King
- 18:26Speaker 2: generally is pretty positive, but he just hated the shining
- 18:29Speaker 2: and what Krubrick did.
- 18:31Speaker 1: Well. If you've got a fun factor question, to send us.
