Hello, everyone. I'm Darcy Cardin. Join me and three of my closest friends in the entire universe on Wikipedia trivia. Deep dive right now on Wikihole.

[00:00:40]

Hello, family.

[00:00:41]

It's Darcy.

[00:00:43]

You know when you are looking at your phone waiting for your dog to pee, and suddenly you've spent hours on Wikipedia falling down a wiki hole that.

[00:00:50]

Starts with, how does a fire hydrant work?

[00:00:53]

And ends with you learning that Lauren Hill and Zach Braff went to high school together.

[00:00:59]

Well, this show is exactly like that, only we're keeping score. We start off with one fascinating topic, and question by question, I lead my siblings and best friends on a trivia journey through Wikipedia. Whoever has the top score at the bottom of the Wikihole wins. Let's meet today's contestants. You know him from the big sick. Welcome to Chippendale's.

[00:01:24]

And the upcoming Ghostbusters frozen empire.

[00:01:27]

It's Kumail Nanjiani. Hello.

[00:01:30]

Hi.

[00:01:31]

Her projects include the Big Sick, little America, and Crashing. It's Emily Gordon.

[00:01:38]

Well, hello there, Darcy.

[00:01:42]

You know him from Mystery Science Theater 3000, and he's currently starring in the horror comedy Destroy all neighbors with Alex Winter. Holy shit, it's Jonah Ray.

[00:01:53]

Hey.

[00:01:54]

What listeners can't see is that Jonah is in front of a roaring fire.

[00:01:59]

I wanted to set the mood.

[00:02:00]

The mood is set.

[00:02:01]

It's cold and rainy outside and beautiful Los Angeles, and I wanted to know, warm up the souls and hearts of the listeners.

[00:02:07]

It's working. It's working. Our listeners will know all three of you geniuses from the amazing show the meltdown. How exciting for me to have you guys here together.

[00:02:17]

We're very excited to be here. As always, I end up speaking for both of them.

[00:02:21]

That's great.

[00:02:22]

I don't get to be on stage.

[00:02:24]

This is your moment. Take it. This is it, you guys. We're here to go on a wiki adventure. But before we start the game, I want to know, what obsessive wiki holes have you been falling down lately?

[00:02:35]

Emily, let's start with you.

[00:02:37]

From 1985 to 1987, Andy Warhol had a tv show on MTV called 15 Minutes. It was 30 minutes long. I've gone back and watch it. They're all on YouTube. I've watched every single one of them. You can see things like Andy Warhol and various models having some of the most dead conversations you'll ever see. They just ask every single guest name a vegetable. And so then it's like a five minute segment of just random people from the 80s just saying zucchini.

[00:03:10]

The cocaine was running out.

[00:03:12]

That's right. Jonah, your turn.

[00:03:15]

Oh.

[00:03:16]

Recently, someone asked me what my attachment style was.

[00:03:22]

Oh, no, Jonah, keep it light. Is this, like, relationships attachment?

[00:03:28]

So I went into Wikipedia to look for it, and then I found this article about a guy that was using attachment style quizzes at a college campus to get dates. He used it as a way to figure out girls and then sold the information to men. And then sold the information.

[00:03:47]

Genius.

[00:03:48]

The positive version of that is like, oh, what a great way to be a matchmaker. The negative version is like, there's going to be a lot of ladies with very specific issues being matched with very. Totally.

[00:03:59]

Totally.

[00:03:59]

Exactly. Yeah.

[00:04:01]

And what about you, Camille?

[00:04:02]

Your listeners should google Lake City quiet pills and just fall into that hole because that's a whole, I already love it fascinating thing.

[00:04:11]

Okay, if you're listening and you Wiki Lake City quiet pills, drop a pill emoji under this Instagram post. I don't know, just so we can kind of, like, see. It's about engagement. It's about engagement. It's about engagement. Okay. It's about engagement. The top of the hole today is phobias. Growing up, I had a phobia of dolphins, which is wild. I don't really anymore. Not as much. It's still there, but much less. Okay, well, let's get to the questions. I want to see what you guys fucking know.

[00:04:46]

Okay, but first, is there a name for dolphin phobia?

[00:04:49]

Oh, well, isn't this interesting? I do believe that's the first goddamn question, doll.

[00:04:55]

Oh, no.

[00:04:57]

You will each have a chance to answer this. And it's multiple choice. What is the official term for fear of dolphins? A, aquaphobia, B. Delphinophobia, or C ifhobia. Okay, yeah, okay, C. Okay, C. I'll say C. Okay, they're all saying c ifebaphobia.

[00:05:19]

Yeah.

[00:05:20]

And guess what the answer is. What? B delphinophobia. And as I say it, you kind of go, oh, I hear it.

[00:05:27]

No, but I heard it. I thought that that was you trying to trick.

[00:05:30]

Yeah, I thought that was a trick.

[00:05:31]

I know. Great. Okay, I'm giving it up to the writers right now. Good job, writers. Good job. Now they tricked us.

[00:05:38]

Don't give it up to the writers. They tricked us. They made us look like fools.

[00:05:40]

Oh, no. He's pissed. Oh, no. His hair is on fire. Oh, no. Okay, what? You guys guessed ephebaphobia. Is fear of teenagers. Isn't that fun? I know. I think we all do once you pass, I don't know, 25.

[00:05:57]

They're so confident these days.

[00:05:59]

It's crazy. It ain't right.

[00:06:01]

And they laugh when I walk by and I don't.

[00:06:03]

What's that about? I know. Or they're quiet, which is even worse. Okay, we have to take a break.

[00:06:08]

But when we come back, I want you to have your answer to this question. Ready? You'll each have a chance to answer. What member of the dolphin family attacked and sank shipping vessels over the last four years? A, chinese river dolphin, B, Orca or.

[00:06:24]

C, great white shark?

[00:06:26]

Find out after the break.

[00:06:33]

Welcome back to Wikihole.

[00:06:35]

We're talking about phobias, specifically, my fear of dolphins. Kumail, Emily, and Jonah are all tied with zero points, so it's still anyone's game.

[00:06:44]

Here's the question again. What member of the dolphin family has started attacking and sinking ships in the past four years? A, chinese river dolphin, B, Orca. C, great white shark.

[00:06:59]

Great white shark is a kind of dolphin.

[00:07:02]

No.

[00:07:03]

No questions. Kamel, you just give your.

[00:07:06]

I'm just. I'm just clarifying.

[00:07:08]

No question.

[00:07:09]

I'm going to go with the orca.

[00:07:11]

Okay.

[00:07:12]

We said B. It's Orca.

[00:07:14]

Orca. We'll go with Orca.

[00:07:17]

They're all going with orca. And they're all getting it right. That's right. Great. Yeah. Orcas are killer whales, which are technically in the dolphin porpoise family. Porpoise. Yeah. As are chinese river dolphins. Sharks. You're right, Camille. They're not dolphins. So that was a trick and that's kind of fucked up.

[00:07:35]

That was a trick.

[00:07:35]

That's a little bit fucked up.

[00:07:36]

So you're saying they took out these ships on.

[00:07:41]

Right.

[00:07:42]

All right. You think that was a bad joke? You need to live life in a happier way because that was a good joke.

[00:07:54]

The next game is called who am I?

[00:07:58]

We're going to play you a clip of an NBA player telling us about the time a dolphin tried to take him down. You will then pick who you think it is from a multiple choice list. So first we'll listen and then I'll tell you the multiple choice he was playing with.

[00:08:11]

Everybody know, doing what dolphins do, the ant. Ant and all that. It was my turn to ride the dolphin for some reason. He took me all the way to the. Yeah, he's trying to drown me. Here we go.

[00:08:25]

Is that a Lakers player, Nick Young, B, LA Clippers player, James Harden, or C, Philadelphia 76 ers player, Kenyan Martin Jr.

[00:08:37]

Okay, interesting.

[00:08:38]

Going B. Jonah says b.

[00:08:41]

Go B. I'll go a. I'm going to say Nick Young.

[00:08:45]

I love it when you mix it up because I have this weird thing where it's like if you all get it right or you all get it wrong, it's like nobody got anything wasted.

[00:08:53]

Everyone's time.

[00:08:55]

Okay, so, Kumail, you got it right, babe. That was La Lakers player Nick Young. He was retelling a story from the time he and his then girlfriend Iggy Azalea were on vacation and a dolphin really tried to take his life.

[00:09:10]

See, one tried to kill Nick Young. So I'm not wrong to be scared of dolphins.

[00:09:14]

Were you encountering a lot of dolphins in your life?

[00:09:18]

Literally? Not one. Literally never. But it was like a reoccurring nightmare and it was just sort of like. I'm almost like embarrassed to admit this. It even could, like in a pool I could start thinking about dolphins. Like there was just something about dolphins. It was wild. Okay, thank you.

[00:09:34]

What are they made of?

[00:09:35]

I get it because there's so much. Doesn't make sense. Their mouths are long. They're fish, but they're mammals. Penises.

[00:09:42]

They have penises also.

[00:09:44]

They have dick like touching. When you touch them, they feel like.

[00:09:49]

They have dick like touching. That's right. I should clarify, I do have a little dolphin penis. That's why Emily's saying that. Well, compared to a full dolphin, it's little, but compared to it's about the size of a human penis. But it's a dolphin.

[00:10:05]

It looks like a dolphin.

[00:10:09]

Okay, we've been talking about fears, but now let's talk about how to overcome them.

[00:10:13]

You will each have a chance to answer this multiple choice question. How has the US military trained soldiers to overcome a fear of fire? A with hypnosis, b by using cognitive behavioral therapy, or c by setting them on fire?

[00:10:33]

I want to say a. You can, so I'll say a. I.

[00:10:38]

Want to say a too because B feels quite advanced and feels like it would take work. I bet they're just like, oh, we'll just hypnotize them. But it's going to upset Dorothy.

[00:10:46]

No, I should never have said anything. Play your game. Y'all play your game.

[00:10:50]

You know what? I'll go. Knowing our military, I'm going to go see. They set them on fire. That's the quickest way to get people over. Emily, I have science to back this up. It's flooding. That's what they call it when you are trying to desensitize someone to a phobia. You flood them and they flooded them by setting them on fire.

[00:11:08]

Is it also how they put out the people on fire purpose?

[00:11:11]

No, Dan, they did not put them.

[00:11:15]

I'm thinking b is someone. The writer did a thing because they know Emily's a therapist and they wanted to throw in a thing. I'm trying to game the game, so I'm going to go a.

[00:11:26]

Okay, so Camille says A. Jonah, B, and Emily, C. The answer is.

[00:11:31]

Oh, my God, Emily. By setting them on fire. C. That's right. Flooding. As you said, flooding, which is so. I know that's the way you get.

[00:11:41]

Over fears or phobias or whatever, but.

[00:11:44]

Oh, my God, that's so scary to me. Oh, really?

[00:11:46]

What's it called? Like, immersion therapy.

[00:11:48]

Anarchic way to do things. It's not what we should be doing.

[00:11:53]

Wait, I'm sorry. I have follow ups. They set them on fire. What does that mean?

[00:11:59]

Here's a little bit about it. So this Past December, the US army.

[00:12:02]

Did an anti riot exercise with other eastern european militaries where they hit soldiers with molotov cocktails. But don't worry, in training they were wearing fire retardant clothes and there were fire extinguishers ready to rock.

[00:12:16]

I assumed this would have been in the. Did not.

[00:12:18]

I know this past December is five minutes ago. What the hell? Maybe they. Yeah, maybe they at least mean the December before. Certainly not.

[00:12:27]

Well, they got to spend those billions of dollars every year. They got to do something with this time and money.

[00:12:37]

Here we go. We're jumping on over to fire. What are the three elements necessary to start a fire?

[00:12:45]

Oxygen.

[00:12:47]

Air. Like oxygen. A thing to light on fire.

[00:12:55]

Can't start a fire without a spark.

[00:12:57]

Oh, good. Okay, lyrics.

[00:12:58]

More lyrics.

[00:12:59]

Yeah.

[00:13:00]

Okay. I feel like Camille and Jonah both said air and oxygen at the same time, so I'm going to give you both a point there. Yeah, you've said things like Flint or you've said fire, which I get what you're saying, but accelerator. No. I think when I read this earlier, I thought this was so hard. It's so.

[00:13:23]

Chemistry?

[00:13:24]

No. Okay.

[00:13:28]

A connection.

[00:13:30]

This could maybe be put in your car.

[00:13:33]

Yeah.

[00:13:33]

Gasoline.

[00:13:34]

Gasoline.

[00:13:36]

What's the name?

[00:13:36]

Fuel.

[00:13:37]

Yeah. Fuel.

[00:13:38]

Fuel.

[00:13:38]

Give me fuel, give me fire. Give me that which I desire. Desire is desire?

[00:13:43]

Yes. No. I'm just kidding. Okay, so the last one is. You guys have all sort of gotten it, but it's like more general than.

[00:13:55]

A substance.

[00:13:56]

It's not cold.

[00:13:57]

What does it start with?

[00:13:59]

But heat heat. Heat. Heat. That's right. Fuel. Heat.

[00:14:06]

I was just looking at a poster of my favorite movie, and I just.

[00:14:08]

Said it out loud.

[00:14:12]

Okay, next question.

[00:14:15]

First one to answer correctly gets the point. Which greek mythical figure is known for stealing fire from the gods and giving it to humanity?

[00:14:26]

Emily, go ahead.

[00:14:27]

Thor, right?

[00:14:28]

No.

[00:14:29]

Pyro.

[00:14:30]

No, it's with pyrothosis.

[00:14:34]

Heracles, Jonah and Emily are on the right track.

[00:14:38]

Mercies.

[00:14:39]

You're all on the right track when it comes to the starting of the word, the first letter.

[00:14:45]

Pythagoras. No.

[00:14:47]

Pyculicles.

[00:14:48]

I should know this.

[00:14:50]

What's the dance that you go to when you're in high school?

[00:14:53]

Chrom.

[00:14:54]

Prometheus.

[00:14:56]

Yeah, that was great. That was great. That was great. Okay. Yes, Prometheus loved humans, but was punished by Zeus for his crime. He was bound to a rock and an eagle ate his liver. Then the liver would grow back overnight and get eaten again forever and ever and ever. Amen.

[00:15:14]

You were looking at the poster for your favorite movie, Prometheus, and you didn't say it.

[00:15:21]

You'll each have a chance to answer this multiple choice question. Several months before every olympic games, a group of women in Greece ignite the Olympic flame using what tool? A. A powerful lens, b. A mirror or C. Flint and olive leaves.

[00:15:41]

Okay, I'll do a powerful mirror.

[00:15:43]

I'll say a. I'm going to go A-A-B and c. Okay, jonah, are you b?

[00:15:48]

Yeah. B, I'm going.

[00:15:49]

Okay, I'll be c. The winner of this round is Jonah. A mirror. A mirror. Right. At the ancient altar of Hera.

[00:16:02]

At the ancient altar of Hera, yes.

[00:16:03]

You know, in Olympia, Greece, sits an.

[00:16:06]

Old in Olympia's Greece.

[00:16:07]

In Olympia's Greece, of course, sits an old parabolic mirror.

[00:16:11]

That's my favorite greek restaurant, Olympia's Greece.

[00:16:14]

Oh, my God.

[00:16:15]

It's one of the, like, it's like roots crisp.

[00:16:20]

Olympia's Greece's.

[00:16:23]

Now. We are jumping to the Olympics.

[00:16:28]

Emily said woof, in a way where she's like, I don't. Not mine either.

[00:16:33]

My area of, no, I like what's going on is it mimics how you go through Wikipedia. So you start on one place and then you're like, it's all tangents all the way down.

[00:16:44]

I am aware of the concept of the show. I am just not good at the Olympics, that's all.

[00:16:48]

I didn't speak over you, Kumail, because we will certainly be using that for the trailer because you just gave us a gorgeous little clip. Thank you. Okay. You'll each have a chance to answer this multiple choice question. Which of the following cities has never hosted a Summer Olympics? A. Buenos Aires, B. Stockholm, or C. St. Louis?

[00:17:12]

The biggest challenge is. I don't give a shit about the Olympics.

[00:17:16]

I know that is a challenge. Yeah.

[00:17:20]

I'm going to say Stockholm.

[00:17:22]

Okay. Yeah.

[00:17:23]

They've got a real syndrome about it.

[00:17:27]

Porpoise.

[00:17:28]

Oh, my God. Buenos Aires feels like a place that would have had it.

[00:17:33]

Yeah.

[00:17:33]

And then the third one is St. Louis. Did St. Louis do one? I don't remember.

[00:17:37]

Could have been a long time ago.

[00:17:38]

I mean, but it could have been in the. Don't know.

[00:17:41]

That's why I said, yeah, maybe that's.

[00:17:44]

Why they put the arch in there to celebrate the Olympics.

[00:17:46]

Honestly, that's actually a very good point. Why else would they have that thing? They don't need it.

[00:17:51]

It doesn't do anything.

[00:17:52]

Well, so then tell me, how is it tied to the Olympics? The.

[00:17:55]

Just.

[00:17:56]

You put something in the city, they'll build a. That's right. Yeah. Like world's. That sounds like world's fair type shit.

[00:18:04]

Yeah.

[00:18:04]

I'll go with Buenos Aires. Why not? Jonah, are you going to go with St. Louis?

[00:18:08]

No, I said first. I said Buenos Aires.

[00:18:11]

And M. You said Stockholm, right? Yes.

[00:18:13]

All right.

[00:18:14]

Okay. Great guesses, all of you.

[00:18:16]

What is the answer?

[00:18:17]

We'll find out after a quick break. Welcome back to Wikihole. To remind you, we started off with phobias, then we jumped to fire. And now we're on to the Olympic games. Kumail and Jonah are tied in the lead with five points. Emily is right behind with two points. Emily, time to catch up. Okay, now, right behind.

[00:18:49]

Do you not know what?

[00:18:50]

Right behind.

[00:18:53]

I mean, I'm not going to say that she's way behind. Wouldn't it be funny if I went and Emily, that would be one point.

[00:19:01]

With two points, Emily in the way, way back of the station wagon of.

[00:19:10]

Right. But it's anybody's game and don't you forget it. Which of the following cities has never hosted a summer Olympics? A. Buenos Aires. B. Stockholm. C. St. Louis. Emily said Stockholm. The boys said Buenos Aires. And Emily, unfortunately, this is just going to push you wayer behind because both the damn boys got it right. But that's okay.

[00:19:34]

Damn boys.

[00:19:36]

That's okay.

[00:19:38]

Buenos Aires boys.

[00:19:39]

They are the Buenos Aires boys. Everybody knows them as that. Yes. St. Louis hosted in 1904 before any of us were born. And Stockholm hosted twice, of all things. My God. Okay, another question for you. This game is called what is it? I'm going to describe two sports that will be included in the 2028 Summer games for the first time in Olympic history. First person to guess correctly based on my description gets the point. I'm going to give you hints, and if you know it, shout it out. Okay. It's a team game. This is a no contact sport. It's usually cricket. No, I'm not going to ding you for getting them wrong. Feel free to just shout them out.

[00:20:22]

You should.

[00:20:24]

I know I should. Right?

[00:20:25]

Fuck.

[00:20:26]

But I already said that.

[00:20:27]

No, don't listen to the one who's way, way behind.

[00:20:29]

She deserves way behind.

[00:20:31]

Now. Okay. Usually played on a grass field, but can be played on other surfaces. That kind of leaves it ultimate Frisbee, but no. It was originally created by american military personnel to help them stay fit with injury. No. Five players on each team on the field for gameplay drawn from twelve person squads. In May 2020, the National association of Intercollegiate Athletics in the NFL announced the addition of this sport as a varsity sport for female student athletes.

[00:21:04]

Female handball.

[00:21:06]

No. It used to be called touch and tail football.

[00:21:11]

Flag football.

[00:21:13]

Yes. Flag football.

[00:21:14]

Wow.

[00:21:14]

Okay. That was great. That was great.

[00:21:16]

Okay, next sport.

[00:21:18]

It's a two player game played indoors in a four walled area. It's a racket sport.

[00:21:26]

Racquetball, squash, squash.

[00:21:27]

Squash. Handball, squash, squash. It's squash. The producer says it was Jonah, and I'm not going to say her name because I don't want.

[00:21:34]

Jonah said squash.

[00:21:35]

It's the wrecker ball.

[00:21:37]

Okay. Okay.

[00:21:38]

I've been playing.

[00:21:39]

It's hard to hear. Know. I know.

[00:21:41]

I'm sorry, Emily.

[00:21:43]

I know.

[00:21:44]

I'd rather you have the point than Jonah.

[00:21:46]

I can hear.

[00:21:47]

That's love, America. That's love. Okay?

[00:21:52]

And also, she's so far behind, she's not a threat anymore.

[00:21:55]

All right? You just ruined that's marriage. You will each have a chance to answer this. The closest without going over wins. Do you know those rules?

[00:22:09]

Price is right rule? I find them to be arbitrary, and I got no room in my life for them. But for you, Darcy, I'll make an exception.

[00:22:16]

Here's the question, and I'm going to give you a hint before we even fucking start. All that glitters is not gold. How many grams of actual gold are in a gold medal? Gold medals weigh about 556 grams. So does that make sense? How many grams of actual gold are in a gold medal?

[00:22:37]

Are you counting the rope around the ribbon in the weight?

[00:22:42]

I don't think so.

[00:22:45]

Just the meat?

[00:22:45]

I think it's just the meat. Just the meat.

[00:22:48]

Okay.

[00:22:48]

Just the meat.

[00:22:49]

Okay.

[00:22:50]

556 grams. How many of that is gold?

[00:22:54]

Yes.

[00:22:55]

Okay, I have a guess.

[00:23:01]

Okay.

[00:23:04]

Jabois, I feel like it's got to be 28. Okay, well, listen. I mean, I could be an idiot and go 41, and I will, because I have to imagine it's more than 40, you absolute bag of trash. 41.

[00:23:25]

Wow. Okay, here's what's fucking crazy. It's 6 grams.

[00:23:31]

What?

[00:23:33]

Isn't that wild?

[00:23:35]

Olympic gold medals weigh 556 grams, and only six of those grams are required to be gold.

[00:23:42]

That makes sense, I guess, because they have to make so many of them.

[00:23:46]

Maybe, but. Jesus.

[00:23:47]

Okay, I know I said closest without going over, but I'm going to give that point to Jonah because he was the closest, and it makes me sad when nobody gets points.

[00:23:55]

Good job, Jonah.

[00:23:55]

That is wild to me.

[00:23:57]

The other medals are more true to their titles. The silver medal is about 90% silver. The bronze medal is 97% copper with 0.5% tin and 2.5% zinc.

[00:24:09]

Blah, blah, blah. Anyway, what a damn rip off, right?

[00:24:12]

Yeah.

[00:24:13]

Okay. Well, speaking of rip offs, let's jump on down the wiki hole to rip offs. Here's the question. Closest, without going over, wins. The hat maker Stetson once issued an ad showing a cowboy giving his horse a drink of water from his ten gallon hat. I'm doing that in quotes. Ten gallon hat. How much liquid can a Stetson hat actually hold?

[00:24:38]

I'm going to go with two gallons. No, one gallons.

[00:24:41]

I said one gallon earlier.

[00:24:43]

One gallon.

[00:24:44]

You did, Jonah. I didn't hear that. Okay, one gallon.

[00:24:46]

Yeah.

[00:24:46]

We got the two one gallon, boys. We got two one gallon, boys.

[00:24:50]

I'll go more then, just to be different. I'll go 1.2 gallons.

[00:24:54]

1.2 gals.

[00:24:56]

How many cups are in a gallon? Do we know as people?

[00:24:58]

Emily?

[00:25:00]

I'm allowed to ask questions.

[00:25:01]

My producer is texting me, and she says there are 16 cups in a gallon.

[00:25:06]

Okay.

[00:25:06]

Feel free to use that however you want, boys. Feel free to.

[00:25:12]

I think it's half a gallon.

[00:25:14]

Okay. Half a gallon. Okay.

[00:25:16]

Shit.

[00:25:17]

Half one. 1.2.

[00:25:19]

I had a Stetson.

[00:25:20]

Did you?

[00:25:20]

Yeah. I think I'm very wrong.

[00:25:23]

That's a great country song.

[00:25:24]

I know.

[00:25:25]

I had a Stetson, and I think I'm very wrong.

[00:25:27]

That is beautiful.

[00:25:29]

I had a Stetson.

[00:25:31]

These are all great guesses, but what.

[00:25:34]

Is the correct answer?

[00:25:35]

Find out after this short break.

[00:25:40]

Welcome back to Wikihole. To remind you, we went from fear of dolphins to fire to the Olympics, and now we are on to ripoffs and scams. Jonah is in the lead with eight points, but Kumail and Emily still have.

[00:25:53]

A chance to catch up for sure. Getting back to the question we asked.

[00:25:56]

Before the break, how much liquid does a ten gallon Stetson hat actually hold? Jonah said one gallon, Kumail said 1.2 gallons and Emily said half a gallon.

[00:26:08]

Okay, so the answer is three liters, which is not even one gallon, which means Emily gets it.

[00:26:16]

Hey, Emily.

[00:26:18]

Hey, Emily. Emily, good for you. Hey, thank you.

[00:26:22]

Yeah. Okay, here's another question. First, to answer it correctly gets the point. So that's just know, say it fast squash style free for all. What category of scam has recently replaced nigerian prince emails as the number one scam based on total monetary losses or.

[00:26:43]

Gains depending on your perspective.

[00:26:45]

Thank you.

[00:26:46]

Oh, is it the like, we can see you masturbating.

[00:26:49]

Great guess.

[00:26:50]

We can see you masturbating. And now you have to give us money because we're going to release the video.

[00:26:54]

That's a black mirror episode.

[00:26:56]

Emily, what emails are you getting?

[00:26:58]

That's terrifying.

[00:26:59]

I got one of these and what's funny is they thought I was a dude and it just said, hello, Gordon. We've been watching you masturbate, you little pig. You little pig. We're going to tell everybody unless you send us some money. And I was like, I cover my camera on my laptop, but that's my guess. Clearly that's not correct, but that was my guess.

[00:27:22]

No. Oh, yeah, I guess you're right because I would have said yes, you're right. But I love the guess.

[00:27:28]

Is it like saying, like they're a relative and then they're stuck in a prison in another country? Okay.

[00:27:35]

No, but great guess because it happened to my grandparents.

[00:27:39]

I get those that are like direct, like, oh, it's your Amazon account. Log in.

[00:27:45]

I get those all the time. Yeah, it's not that. Okay, I'm going to tell you unless anyone else wants to guess.

[00:27:51]

Is it just a stranger texting you?

[00:27:53]

Give us a. Yeah, okay. No, I'll give you a hint. This is literally just the name of two animals smashed together.

[00:28:00]

Catfishing.

[00:28:01]

Catfishing. Yeah, babe, she got it right. That was great. That was really satisfying. That was really satisfying. I needed romance scam or catfishing. But those ones are wild and seeming to be very popular, especially people like to put them on social media. So we're seeing them a lot.

[00:28:18]

That's true.

[00:28:18]

But yes, catfishing is the biggest one. Scammers create fake profiles. They get lonely people to fall in love and then they say they need money. It's really sad. Oh, my God. Tell your parents. Tell your parents not to get catfished. My God.

[00:28:29]

Honestly, I would love my dad to get catfished. It would be great. I think it would be good for him.

[00:28:34]

He needs a good catfishing. Okay, here's another question you little freaks. Multiple choice. You'll each have a chance to answer. President Warren G. Harding is mentioned on the Wikipedia list of fraudsters page because of his connection to a scam involving what? 20th century american scandal, A, White Sox fixing the 1919 World Series, B, the Lindbergh baby kidnapping, or C, the Hindenburg disaster.

[00:29:03]

Oh, wow. Yeah, I'm going to go with b.

[00:29:08]

I'm going a. I'm going to go.

[00:29:09]

Hindenburg.

[00:29:10]

Hindenburg. Okay. You guys all did all different, and the correct answer is B. Kumele. You got it. The Lindbergh baby kidnapping.

[00:29:21]

Harding is mentioned in relation to Gaston means. Gaston means was a White House insider during the Harding administration. He scammed the owner of the hope diamond out of tens of thousands of dollars that he claimed would help pay a ransom to rescue the kidnapped Lindbergh baby.

[00:29:39]

Okay, so now we're going to jump to Charles Lindbergh. You'll each have a chance to answer this multiple choice question. In 1939, Albert Einstein chose Charles Lindbergh to deliver the Einstein Zilard letter to President Franklin Roosevelt. What did it warn the president of? A, the rising threat of Hitler, B, Germany's efforts to create an atomic bomb, or c, an assassination attempt on FDR.

[00:30:10]

I'll go with a.

[00:30:11]

Okay, I'm going with a.

[00:30:13]

Okay, I'm going to go with a.

[00:30:15]

The answer is b. I was almost going to go with b. I know, it was almost that one or the other one. Germany's efforts to create an atomic bomb. Oh, my God.

[00:30:27]

Lindbergh never delivered the letter. Instead, he immediately gave a radio address pushing pro german sympathies and anti semitism. Wow.

[00:30:36]

Einstein eventually got the warning to FDR, and it spurred the creation of the Manhattan project. Ever heard of it?

[00:30:43]

Yeah, we know that Oppenheim, Einstein really was going to write a letter about a, but then at the last moment, he changed it to you. I don't remember what a was, but whatever it was.

[00:31:01]

Honestly, you almost convinced me. Okay. The first person to answer correctly gets the point. Charles Lindbergh was the very first, and Taylor Swift was the most recent. To do what?

[00:31:14]

NFL.

[00:31:16]

Charles Lindbergh was the very first. So Charles Lindbergh was the.

[00:31:22]

Win every single american heart.

[00:31:24]

Yeah.

[00:31:26]

Okay. Without exception, Charles Lindbergh was the first and Taylor Swift was the most recent. To do what?

[00:31:32]

Have a number one single.

[00:31:36]

You guys are Grammy. But it is sort of an award. I'm going to say. Let me give you a little hint.

[00:31:43]

Does it have anything to do with the Lindy hop?

[00:31:45]

Nothing. Not at all. One thing. Okay. It was to be named something sort of like an award to be named poet laureate. Oh, I could see. Taylor, not hasty.

[00:31:57]

Person of the year. Time person of the year, Jonah.

[00:32:00]

You got it. That's it. Time person of the year. Wow.

[00:32:03]

Of course, not saying much.

[00:32:05]

Terrible people have been time person of the year.

[00:32:07]

You are right about that. Other honorees have included good and bad. I'm going to just name them. I'm not going to make a judgment on any of them. Gandhi, Hitler, Stalin, Popes, queens, astronauts, presidents, and even one year. You. Do you remember us? Me?

[00:32:26]

I remember it had a mirror in.

[00:32:28]

The COVID Yeah, it was a real shitty quality mirror.

[00:32:31]

What, are they going to have a good one? I mean, they're doing their best out there.

[00:32:34]

It would be amazing.

[00:32:36]

I want a high quality glass, dangerous, sharp edges mirror.

[00:32:41]

You could cut yourself the second you reached in your mailbox. Okay, you guys. Can you fucking believe this? We're at the final question. This is worth five points. Okay? Anybody's game, I think. I don't know.

[00:32:54]

First person to answer correctly gets the points. Throughout the years, many claim to be the kidnapped Lindbergh baby. But in the year 2001 of the leading candidates revealed a DNA test that proved he was not Charles Lindbergh's long lost son. For five points, that man's first name was Robert. What was his last name?

[00:33:17]

Lindbergh.

[00:33:18]

Great guess. Feel free to shout out as many as you want. I won't ding you.

[00:33:23]

Losia.

[00:33:24]

Smith.

[00:33:26]

Reggie bird. No.

[00:33:28]

Smith.

[00:33:28]

Okay. Jonas?

[00:33:29]

Got it.

[00:33:30]

Durst. A good guess. No.

[00:33:35]

Jenkins.

[00:33:42]

I'm going to give you a cute little hint. Ready? Remember what we started talking about at the beginning of it? You got it. You got it, Emily got it. Emily. Got it. Emily. Got it. Robert Dolphin. Oh, my God. This is Emily. You knew that we came back. You knew. Wow. I know. That was.

[00:34:05]

I'm a scholar.

[00:34:06]

I mean, sometimes we know things because we know them, and sometimes it's fun.

[00:34:09]

I was going to be like Robert recording podcast. Okay, exactly.

[00:34:19]

While the points are being tallied, we are going to retrace the whole. Okay, we started with what you just said. Dolphin Phobia. That led us to.

[00:34:32]

Fire.

[00:34:33]

Yeah, that's right. Fire led us to olympics.

[00:34:36]

Olympics.

[00:34:37]

Yes. I'm always blown away when people can do this. Olympics led us to.

[00:34:45]

Scams.

[00:34:45]

Give a hint. Scandals, scams, right. Scams and scams.

[00:34:48]

How did we get from Olympics to scandals?

[00:34:53]

So maybe we could have even said Olympics gold into scandals. Scams, scams into.

[00:35:06]

All the way.

[00:35:07]

And then Lindbergh down to goddamn dolphin.

[00:35:10]

Back to dolphin.

[00:35:11]

Dolphin, right.

[00:35:12]

I mean, it feels like it's all connected.

[00:35:14]

It really does. It feels great, you guys. Oh my fucking lord. Are you ready for this?

[00:35:20]

Emily won.

[00:35:21]

Kumail finishes with eight points. Jonah is runner up with nine points, and Emily wins with ten points.

[00:35:30]

I knew this too.

[00:35:32]

Eventually.

[00:35:32]

I knew it.

[00:35:33]

And guess what you get as a prize? A generous donation to Wikipedia will be made in your honor.

[00:35:41]

That's cute.

[00:35:42]

That's from all of us.

[00:35:43]

That's from all of us.

[00:35:45]

Yeah.

[00:35:46]

They're always asking me for money when I go.

[00:35:48]

And now you don't have to.

[00:35:49]

I mean, it is true with gift giving when Emily buys it and we.

[00:35:54]

Say yes, just like that.

[00:35:56]

So this really works, you guys.

[00:35:59]

It was so fun to have you three on. This is a big deal. You three together. My God, the comedy nerds are going to freaking lose their mind.

[00:36:08]

Thanks for having us. That was so fun. And I learned so much. I've retained everything.

[00:36:13]

I hope you retain it because I won't. Okay. I love you guys so much. Let's end the show the way we always do. By kissing. Kiss your microphone. Good job. Good job. Really good. Okay, that was weird. Join us next time for more burning questions and yet another glorious hole. Goodbye.
