- 19:10Speaker 1: that's interesting. At least I got a big bang question
- 19:13Speaker 1: out of this, because yeah, I don't think you associate
- 19:17Speaker 1: him with any sort of screenplay writing.
- 19:20Speaker 2: No.

- 19:34Speaker 1: and the whole point of trivia is that you very
- 19:36Speaker 1: much can answer it succinctly, and it only has one
- 19:38Speaker 1: answer there the opposites. So we hope you enjoyed it,
