08:27He named both of his first albums by naming it himself.
08:33Heck of a round, players.
08:34Wren, you were on fire.
08:36With 900 points, you're going to the next round.
08:39And Monika with 400, you're going to the next round.

08:47Thank you for playing the game with us.
08:49And you're going home with $8,000.
08:55Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Wren and Monika go head-to-head for the chance to move on
09:02and play for $20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
09:17Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
09:19Wren and Monika have just dethroned a returning champion and made it here to the next round, so let's get
09:26to know them a little bit better.
09:27Wren, word is that you juggle a little bit.
09:31Wait a minute.
09:33You don't just juggle so.
09:38You're a juggler.
09:39I'm a juggler.
09:40You're a juggler.
09:41And Monika, did you bring anything to juggle with?
09:45Unfortunately, my only skill besides trivia is looking totally adorable, and I'm always bringing that.
09:54And what is it that you do for a living?
09:56I'm an operations manager for a drones as first responders provider.
10:01Do you fly these drones?
10:03Actually, I have flown the drones before.
10:05That is one thing we all do.
10:06Our police and firefighters are our most important first responders, and anything we can do to make their jobs safer
10:12and easier is very important.
10:14And good for you.
10:16But let's get back to the game, shall we?
10:18In this round, players, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions, working your way through the categories once again.
10:26But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
10:33Now, you both selected the order of categories that you'll be playing, and you picked one category that you don't
10:41want to play at all.
10:41Wren, I see that you have elected not to play entertainment.
10:46You're such a good player.
10:47Why do you want to avoid that one?
10:48It's hit and miss on entertainment for me, and so I thought, why chance it?
10:52And Monika, I see that you have opted to skip history.
10:56Yes.
10:56And your 1,000-point category is art and literature.
11:00Tell me about that strategy.
11:01I skipped history because, you know, there's a lot of history out there, and there's only one of me.
11:07So there's a high probability I'm going to get asked something I may not know.
11:12Players, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round will be moving on to
11:17the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
11:21Let the pursuit begin.
11:27Monika, you're trailing Wren by 500 points, so you'll be going first.
11:32For 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in the category of entertainment.
11:39Which of the following is not a television series hosted by Gordon Ramsay?
11:45Cutthroat Kitchen, Hell's Kitchen, or Kitchen Nightmares?
11:50Well, I love cooking.
11:53I know Gordon Ramsay does Hell's Kitchen, and I'm pretty sure he also does Kitchen Nightmares.
12:00But my choice is Cutthroat Kitchen.
12:04That's my answer.
12:06Let's see, Monika.
12:09Cutthroat Kitchen.
12:10You know your man, Gordon.
12:12All right.
12:13For 200 points, Wren, here is your multiple choice question in art and literature.
12:19Crayola's Fuzzy Wuzzy Crayon is a member of which color family?
12:25Brown, purple, or yellow?
12:28Oh.
12:28Oof.
12:30Um, you would think Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, and you'd think brown bear.
12:36I'm going to go with brown.
12:38Wren, let's see if you're right.
12:41Okay.
12:42Monika, your 400-point question in geography is this.
12:47Which is the most populated metropolitan area in the world?
12:52Delhi, Shanghai, or Tokyo?
12:57Hmm.
12:59Makes me wish I had skipped geography instead of history.
13:03Um, let's see.
13:05Shanghai's in China.
13:06China has a large population.
13:08Um, Tokyo's in Japan.
13:10I don't think it has a very high population density.
13:15But Delhi just seems like the right answer to me.
13:19So, I'm just going to take a chance and make it so with Delhi.
13:25Monika, let's see if you're right.
13:28That would be Tokyo.
13:30Over 37 million people in that metropolitan area.
13:33Wow.
13:33Okay.
13:34Wren, four.
13:35400 points.
13:36The category sports and leisure.
13:39In 2023, which current NFL team played a game in throwback Houston Oilers uniforms?
13:48The Dallas Cowboys, the Houston Texans, or the Tennessee Titans?
13:54Before my options came up, I was maybe remembering that the Oilers moved up to Tennessee as the Titans.
14:01So, um, I think I'm going to stick with my initial guess of the Tennessee Titans.
14:06Final answer.
14:07Let's see if you're right, Wren.
14:10Yeah.
14:11Tennessee Titans, they were indeed formerly the Oilers.
14:15Monika, here is your 600-point question in the category science and nature.
14:22Cemeglutide is the generic name for which of these drugs?
14:27Nexium, Ozempic, or Xanax?
14:32All right.
14:33I kind of like this question.
14:35Um, I happen to know several people that, um, are on Ozempic.
14:40And so, yes, my fi- my final choice is Ozempic.
14:45Monika, let's see if you're right.
14:49Right you are.
14:50Wren, here is your 600-point question in the category of science and nature, sir.
14:57Which member of the famed PayPal mafia co-founded the software company Palantir?
15:05Reed Hoffman, Max Levchin, or Peter Thiel?
15:10All right.
15:11Well, um, I recognize one of those names, Peter Thiel.
15:14I know he has his hands in a lot of different stuff.
15:18Um, I'm just going to go with name recognition here with Peter Thiel.
15:22We're going to see if you're right.
15:24Yes.
15:25Right you are.
15:26Peter Thiel is the man.
15:29Monika, here is your question.
15:32For 800 points in the category sports and leisure to stay in the game,
15:39which of these is an official NBA team mascot?
15:45Bazooka the Buck, Pierre the Pelican, or Happy the Hornet?
15:51All right.
15:52So, Clutch the Bear for the Houston Rockets is not up there.
15:57But, um, you know, Houston's real close to Louisiana.
16:02And, um, Louisiana has a lot of French roots.
16:05So, I think I'm going to go with Pierre the Pelican.
16:09Well, Monika, let's see if you're right.
16:15Pierre the Pelican is the mascot for the New Orleans Pelicans.
16:19Well done.
16:20Wren, she's only 100 points behind.
16:24Here, sir, is your 800-point question in history.
16:29Astrologer Joan Quigley rose to fame for advising
16:32which presidential administration?
16:36Was it Bill Clinton?
16:37Richard Nixon?
16:39Or Ronald Reagan?
16:43I don't know if you saw me roll my eyes.
16:45I don't even have a feeling on this one.
16:49Wow.
16:50I guess I'll just, I'll go with Richard Nixon.
16:53Wren, let's see if you're right.
16:57Now, Ronald Reagan, he and Nancy consulted with Joan Quigley all the time.
17:04Okay, Monika, if you get the answer wrong, Wren is going to move on because you won't be able to
17:12catch him.
17:13Your 1,000-point question in art and literature to stay in the game.
17:19Who holds the Guinness World Record for being the most portrayed literary character in film?
17:26Is it Dracula, James Bond, or Robin Hood?
17:33Okay, so James Bond is in the double digits.
17:37Dracula, you've got Bela Lugosi, you've got Gary Oldman.
17:41But I'm going to hitch my star to 007 and say James Bond.
17:49Hitching your star to James Bond.
17:52Monika, let's see if you're right.
17:56It was indeed Dracula.
17:58We were looking for Dracula.
18:01Congratulations, Wren.
18:02You are moving on to play for $20,000.
18:07And Monika, you are a very strong competitor.
18:10You gave him all he could handle at the end there.
18:12Thank you for playing our game.
18:14Wren, sir, why don't you join me over here?
18:19Well done.
18:20When we come back, we'll see if Wren can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for $20,000.
18:28Right here on Trivial Pursuit.
18:40Welcome back, y'all.
18:42I'm here with our professional juggler, Wren, who outplayed his opponents and has made it here to the final pursuit
18:48to play for $20,000.
18:54Well, Wren, you have juggled yourself right into this.
18:59Have you given any thought to what you might do with the money?
19:01I think I want to invest in my business.
19:03I need some new juggling balls. I need new polka dots for my clown car, you know.
19:08$20,000 worth?
19:09Maybe they're going to be a gold or something.
19:11Well, all that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
19:18This time, you will have to play all six categories.
19:24You will have 45 seconds, and you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer.
19:29And if you answer all six questions correctly, one correct answer in each category within 45 seconds, you will win
19:37the $20,000.
19:40Sounds real good.
19:40To help with your pursuit, I want you to pick the first category that you want to play.
19:46It's got to be geography.
19:48It's got to be geography. I get it.
19:50And if you get any incorrect, you can circle back to those categories, provided time remains on the clock.

24:58Dos Equis is right.
24:59Two X's.
25:00Well, that was a really quick first round.
25:02Ren and Anne are on the board.
25:04Bebek, we're waiting for you to get in the game.
25:07But we're going to reload our six categories and see how many more points and wedges you all can earn.
25:13So not to worry.
25:14We have plenty of opportunities here.
25:16It was Ren who got the last question correctly.

25:23Booyah!

25:58Let's do history yellow.
26:01In 1983, what singer and actress became the first black woman to be crowned Miss America?
26:08Anne.

26:12And this is one you need because you are only two wedges away from filling your wheel.
26:19Let's do orange, sports and leisure.
26:22Also called bag toss, the C in pro sports league ACL refers to what game?

26:45Michigan?
26:45Sorry.
26:47Sorry.
26:47Incorrect.

26:52Here is the last question players this second time through the board.

27:16points.
27:17And Bebek, you have yet to get in the game, but we're going to reload our categories one last time.
27:24And remember this, this is your last chance to earn points and wedges and only two of you will be
27:30moving on.
27:31Ren, you need one more wedge to fill your wheel.
27:36Pink entertainment.
27:37For $1,000, here is the question.
27:41What film ticketing service took off in 2017 when it began offering fans a ticket per day for a monthly
27:48fee of $9.95?
27:51Anne.
27:52Movie pass.
27:53Movie pass is correct.
27:54Well done.
27:55You blocked Ren from winning that $1,000 bonus.
27:59And you are in control now.
28:01Let's go with green science and nature.
28:03That's what I need.
28:04In physics, the four fundamental forces of nature are electromagnetism, the weak and strong nuclear forces, and what other force?
28:14Ren.
28:16Gravity.

28:53You are on the board, sir.
28:54Only two questions left this final time through the board.
28:59Sports and leisure, art and literature.
29:01Bibek, which would you like to choose?
29:04Let's go with art and literature.
29:07Heard in countless hip-hop songs, the Roland TR-808 is what type of musical instrument?
29:14Am.
29:15A drum machine.
29:16A drum machine.
29:18A drum machine.
29:18Indeed.
29:19And the final category, this time through the board players, sports and leisure.
29:25During the 2025 season, what uniquely shaped bat took baseball by storm when several Yankees players were seen using it?
29:36The Torpedo Bat.
29:38So that's the end of this round, players.
29:42Congratulations, Ren, with 900 points.
29:44You're moving on.
29:45And Ann, you are moving on with 700 points.
29:48Bibek, you finally got in there, but it wasn't quite enough.
29:51Thank you for playing our game.
29:55Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Ren and Ann go head-to-head for the chance to move on
30:01and play for $20,000 right here in Trivial Pursuit.
30:16Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit, y'all.
30:19Ann and our returning champion, Ren, have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them
30:24a little bit better.
30:26Ren, in the first game, you were phenomenal.
30:30How are you feeling?
30:31I'm feeling really good.
30:32Yeah?
30:33Yeah.
30:33It's just so fun, and I'm doing so well, and that makes it more fun.
30:37Yeah.
30:38Okay, let's do it again.
30:39And you are giving Ren some real competition here.
30:43Who's rooting for you back home?
30:45I've got a big cheering section back home.
30:47I've got 20-something chickens, two turkeys, three cats, two dogs, and then, of course, wonderful Andrew is waiting for
30:54me as well.
30:55Well, you're both phenomenal players.
30:57The best of luck to you.
30:58We're going to get back to the game.
31:00In this round, players, you're going to be answering multiple-choice questions, working your way through our categories once again.
31:07Only this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
31:15And you both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing, and you picked one category that you
31:21don't want to play.
31:24And Ren, I see that you've decided not to play entertainment and selected geography as your 1,000-point category.
31:32It worked last time.
31:34Uh, entertainment, it's my bane.
31:37And, uh, geography, that's my jam.
31:39And, Anne, I see that you've opted to skip sports and leisure, and you've chosen entertainment as your 1,000
31:47-point category.
31:47What's your strategy there?
31:49I've got the leisure, sports, I got nothing.
31:52So, I like being entertained, figured that was a good place to hopefully end up.
31:56Well, okay, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll be moving on
32:01to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
32:06Let the pursuit begin.
32:11And you're trailing Ren by 200 points.
32:14You'll be going first.
32:16For 200 points, Anne, here is your multiple-choice question in history.
32:21Which of these states was not one of the original 13 American colonies?
32:27Was it Rhode Island, Virginia, or West Virginia?
32:33Well, I have a fairly good idea that it's West Virginia for this one.
32:39So, let's go with West Virginia.
32:42Let's see if you're right.
32:45Your instincts were terrifically right, West Virginia.
32:49Ren, Anne has tied you.
32:51Here is your 200-point question, sir, in the category art and literature.
32:59French artist Georges Seurat is credited with starting which artistic movement?
33:06Expressionism, pointillism, or surrealism?
33:10I love it. I loved my art history class in high school.
33:13Mrs. Moore taught me well. It's pointillism.
33:17Ren, let's see if you're right.
33:20Yes, you are. Shout out to Mrs. Moore in high school.
33:23Well done.
33:25Anne, here is your 400-point question in the category art and literature as well.
33:31Complete this Chelsea Handler book title.
33:35Are you there, blank? It's me, Chelsea.
33:39Vodka, whiskey, wine.
33:43Well, like Chelsea, I also do enjoy a clear liquor from every now and then, so it's vodka.
33:51Okay, let's see if you're right, Anne.
33:54You know your clear liquids. Well done, Anne.
33:58Don't judge me.
33:58Not at all. No judgment from me.
34:03Coming back to you, Ren, with your 400-point question in the category sports and leisure.
34:09In 2024, which golfer was arrested after attempting to circumvent traffic to enter Valhalla Golf Club?
34:18Was it Bryson DeChambeau, Roy McIlroy, or Scotty Scheffler?
34:25I got nothing here. Nothing. So it's a flip of the coin.
34:30We're going to go with Scotty Scheffler.
34:34Ren, let's see if you're right.
34:37Correct. Scotty Scheffler.
34:40Here, Anne, is your 600-point question, the category science and nature.
34:46In 2010, Laszlo Honyens became the first person to make a 10,000-bitcoin transaction by purchasing which type of
34:57food?
34:58Was it cheeseburgers, pizzas, or tacos?
35:02Oh, gosh. This is a tough one. But I feel like tacos are big on the internet, so let's just
35:08try tacos.
35:10And let's see if you're right.
35:14Pizzas.
35:16All right, Ren, here is an opportunity for you to pull away.
35:19For 600 points, here is your question in science and nature.
35:24The term robot comes from a Czech word meaning what?
35:29Automatic movement, forced labor, or non-human?
35:35So, I feel like it comes from a book in the early 20th century that was maybe a little dystopian.
35:43I'm going to go with forced labor.
35:45Going with forced labor.
35:47Ren, let's see if you're right.
35:50Forced labor indeed. Well done, sir.
35:53Anne, you need to get this one correct because if you do, you'll tie the game.
35:59Here, then, is your 800-point question in the category of geography.
36:06In zip codes, what does the acronym ZIP stand for?
36:11Zone identification point, zone improvement plan, or zone intersection precinct?
36:20This is kind of a dorky thing to confess to, but I worked somewhere that had a very large guide
36:26to all of the zip codes, and I did flip through it every now and then.
36:30And I think I remember it saying that the acronym stood for zone improvement plan.
36:37I hope I remember correctly.
36:39Let's see, Anne, if you're right.
36:43So, Ren, she's put the pressure on you.
36:46You're tied at 2,100 points.
36:49Here, then, sir, is your 800-point question in the category history.
36:58Custer's last stand refers to which 19th century battle?
37:03Fort Sumter, Gettysburg, or Little Bighorn?
37:10Little Bighorn.
37:12Let's see if you're right.
37:14Little Bighorn it is.
37:17It comes all down to this end for 1,000 points in the category entertainment.
37:25In 1993, who joined Nirvana as their fourth member?
37:31Pat Smear, Pat Smooth, or Pat Smothers?
37:36I am not a big Nirvana fan.
37:38I'll be honest, Pat Smear kind of sounds like a fake name.
37:42Pat Smooth sounds a little too smooth.
37:48Let's guess Pat Smothers and hope I get it right.
37:52Let's see if you're right.
37:55Ooh, it was Smear.
37:58Pat Smear, which means, Ren, you are moving on to play for another chance at $20,000.
38:04And you gave him everything he could.
38:09It was great having you with us.
38:11You're a terrific player.
38:12Ren, would you like to join me here, sir?
38:17When we come back, we'll see if Ren can once again conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for
38:23$20,000 right here on Trivial Pursuit.
38:38Welcome back.
38:39I am here with Ren, who has outplayed his opponents and has made it back once again to the final
38:46pursuit for a chance to win another $20,000.
38:52Ren, remind me where you're from again.
38:55Anacortes, Washington.
38:55Anacortes, Washington, which has a population of about...
38:5917,000.
39:00So if you win again, are you willing to give a dollar to everybody in Anacortes?
39:07Um, nice idea, but...
39:09No?
39:10Okay.
39:10It wasn't on my plan.
39:11It was just a thought, all right?
39:12All that stands between you and another $20,000 are six Trivial Pursuit categories.
39:19But this time then, you must play all six categories.
39:23You will have 45 seconds, and you will win $1,000 for every correct answer.
39:30And if you answer all six questions, one in each category, you will win another $20,000.
39:39Sounds good.
39:41Okay.
39:41So to help you with your pursuit, I want you to pick the first category that you will play.
39:47Geography is my jam.
39:49If you get any incorrect, you can always circle back to them, provided there is time on the board.
39:53Okay?
39:54Okay.
39:54Ren, it's time for your final pursuit.
39:57Let's put 45 seconds on the clock, y'all.
40:03Ren, the time will begin as soon as I finish reading the first question.
40:07Okay.
40:07Okay?
40:08Good luck, sir.

41:01Congratulations.
41:02You conquered all six categories and have won $20,000 for a combined total of $41,000.
41:11And you're coming back to play again.
41:13Whoo!
41:14Thank you for playing along with us, folks.
41:16We'll see you next time on Trivial Pursuit, where knowing stuff is celebrated.
41:21But you don't have to take my word for it.

41:27I can't believe it again.
41:28Wow!
41:30I know.
