- 3:22Speaker 1: the answers to round one. Question one. Alana Thompson is
- 3:26Speaker 1: the real name of which beauty pageant star who was

- 4:34Speaker 1: The United Nation vote passed 164 to 1. But yeah,
- 4:40Speaker 1: I guess the Mercator projection inflates the size of lands
- 4:44Speaker 1: the farther they are from the equator. So that's why
- 4:47Speaker 1: the sizes are wonky. And we should change it away
- 4:51Speaker 1: from that map. But I did discover that the Mr.
- 4:54Speaker 1: Mercator was a Flemish geographer. So I'm like, aw. Yeah. Like,
- 5:00Speaker 1: let's get rid of it, but yay, Flemish.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Helped some back then. Yeah. Round two, question five. The

- 7:14Speaker 1: Mwah!
- 7:16Speaker 2: Mwah! Waluigi! Yeah, I saw that I think it's Y

- 7:30Speaker 2: Y in French. I don't know if I'm saying these
- 7:34Speaker 2: exactly right, but Greek I is what Y meant.
- 7:40Speaker 1: Huh.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Question eight, Hadestown is a musical that blends two ancient
- 7:46Speaker 2: Greek myths. Name either of them. You have Orpheus and
- 7:49Speaker 2: Eurydice and Hades and Persephone. That's a bunch of Greek eyes.

- 18:13Speaker 1: Question one. Tatami are the traditional Japanese style of what?
- 18:24Speaker 2: Question two. In December 2013, founder Chip Wilson announced his

- 18:40Speaker 1: Question 3. In E.B. White's book, Charlotte's Web, what word
- 18:46Speaker 1: does Charlotte say the first time she meets Wilbur the Pig?
- 18:54Speaker 2: And your Big Bang question, again, the category is language.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Which Sanskrit noun, now common in the West, is derived
- 19:02Speaker 2: from a root word meaning to attach, join, or yoke,
- 19:07Speaker 2: possibly from trying to restrain or yoke in the senses?
- 19:16Speaker 1: And now the answers to the Big Bang round. Question one.
- 19:20Speaker 1: Tatami are the traditional Japanese style of what?
- 19:25Speaker 2: Matt. Question two. In December 2013, founder Chip Wilson announced
- 19:32Speaker 2: his resignation as chairman of which company due to comments
- 19:36Speaker 2: that were considered fat-shaming?
- 19:39Speaker 1: Lululemon. Question three.
- 19:44Speaker 2: In E.B.
- 19:45Speaker 1: White's book, Charlotte's Web, what word does Charlotte say the
- 19:49Speaker 1: first time she meets William? the pig?
- 19:57Speaker 2: And finally, which Sanskrit noun, now common in the West,
- 20:00Speaker 2: is derived from a root word meaning to attach, join,
- 20:03Speaker 2: or yoke, possibly from trying to restrain or yoke in
- 20:06Speaker 2: the senses? The practice that now in the West is
- 20:11Speaker 2: commonly linked to mats, stretchy pants, and sun salutations. Yoga.
- 20:19Speaker 1: Yoga is also surprisingly hard.
- 20:21Speaker 2: The history of yoga is actually kind of interesting if
- 20:25Speaker 2: you follow it. There's all kinds of... It's hard to
- 20:30Speaker 2: get into to talk about, but like they went from...
- 20:33Speaker 2: I want to say I read like 80... or so
- 20:38Speaker 2: poses in the early 1900s to like over 150 or
- 20:46Speaker 2: 200 now or something. And that's all developed when it
- 20:49Speaker 2: was brought to the West. And it was advocated for
- 20:54Speaker 2: starting in Los Angeles. And it kind of took on
- 20:57Speaker 2: what we in the West know yoga as is not
- 21:01Speaker 2: like the summation of what yoga is. I think it's
- 21:05Speaker 2: a very specific thing that focuses on the physical aspect
- 21:09Speaker 2: of it. But there's a lot more to yoga that.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all that we just
- 21:14Speaker 1: took one part of it and pretended we know what
- 21:17Speaker 1: it's about.
- 21:17Speaker 2: And capitalized on it.
- 21:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 21:20Speaker 2: But yeah, it's real interesting. I'd encourage you to look
- 21:23Speaker 2: up the history. That was from, you know, just the
- 21:27Speaker 2: brief reading I did researching this question.
- 21:29Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's also some cult show, true crime... documentary
- 21:35Speaker 1: on Netflix.
- 21:38Speaker 2: What, the Lululemon murders or whatever?
- 21:40Speaker 1: Oh, no, not even that one. That's different.
- 21:43Speaker 2: Lululemon was apparently the first company to introduce yoga pants. So,
- 21:50Speaker 2: there that is. The yoga pant killer.
- 21:55Speaker 1: The documentary on Netflix that is awful is called Bikram
- 22:01Speaker 1: Yogi Guru Predator 2019 so rolls right off the tongue
- 22:06Speaker 1: it does and you know you know what the world's
- 22:09Speaker 1: awful enough you don't have to watch this documentary.
- 22:13Speaker 2: Chakra shock the killing of blah blah blah that's how
- 22:17Speaker 2: you do it Annie that's how you market it you
- 22:20Speaker 2: gotta get it snappy you gotta make it memorable you're
- 22:25Speaker 2: a piece of meat rock.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. Yes, I mean, gosh, everything around true
- 22:30Speaker 1: crime is so weird because it's like, be entertained by
- 22:33Speaker 1: horrible things. I used to love true crime. I think
- 22:36Speaker 1: the world's just too.
- 22:37Speaker 2: It's too real, man.
- 22:39Speaker 1: It's too real.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Got too real.
- 22:40Speaker 1: Now I can't really stomach it anymore. I'm like, I
- 22:43Speaker 1: don't need to know more bad things.
- 22:56Speaker 2: It just seems like you're having flashbacks.
- 22:59Speaker 1: I was giving you a soundtrack. I don't know what
- 23:02Speaker 1: the soundtrack was for. Is this music for all true crime?
- 23:06Speaker 1: Is this music reflecting the world right now? Is this
- 23:09Speaker 1: my psyche?
- 23:10Speaker 2: This is the thousand-yard stare you just gave me. I
- 23:14Speaker 2: needed some sound for it.
- 23:15Speaker 1: Some soundtrack. Well, thank you. Thank you. Anyway, yoga itself
- 23:21Speaker 1: is lovely. Or what we know as yoga. I'm sure
- 23:26Speaker 1: there's even more to it than we do.
- 23:29Speaker 2: Abort, Annie. Abort.
- 23:30Speaker 1: I know. I'm just trying to stay positive. I'm trying
- 23:32Speaker 1: to end on a positive note.
- 23:33Speaker 2: You're doing great. Pull the cord. Deploy the chute. Yeah.
- 23:39Speaker 1: Oh, you know what? Happy birthday to May because she's
