08:04Thank you so much for having me.
08:05Coming up next, The Pursuit continues as Noam and Rahul go head-to-head with a chance to move on
08:12and play for $20,000 right here on The Pursuit.
08:27Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit, y'all.
08:29Noam and our returning champion, Rahul, have made it here to the next round, so let's get to know them
08:35a little bit better.
08:37Rahul, you are a terrific champion, but the man at the other podium is pretty good, too.
08:43He's got that fast buzzer finger, for sure.
08:45You hang in there because you are the champion.
08:48And, Noam, where do you get these trivia skills from?
08:52I've always been a trivia buff.
08:54Have you?
08:54My siblings used to call me the king of useless trivia.
08:57But then it proved useful because I taught high school in Helena, Arkansas, Central High School.
09:02And I was the coach of the quiz bowl team.
09:04The difference between you and most people is you have retained those useless facts.
09:09All right, fellas, you're doing great. Let's get back to the game.
09:12In this round, you'll be answering questions that are multiple choice, working your way through the categories once again.
09:20However, this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:28You both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing.
09:31You've also picked one that you don't want to see come up at all.
09:36And, Noam, I see that you have opted to skip science and nature.
09:41Yeah, I am a social scientist, but I do not know hard science very well, so that's not my strong
09:48point.
09:48But history is.
09:50Yeah, I've always been a history nut.
09:52I read mostly nonfiction, and I'm putting my luck in that.
09:56Well, I hope that strategy pays off for you, brother.
09:58And Rahul, you have opted to skip art and literature, and you've chosen geography as your 1,000-point question.
10:07It seemed to work well last game, so I'm hoping, you know, fingers crossed we get the same results.
10:11There's no reason not to trust what's already worked.
10:14I'm not broke. Don't fix it.
10:15Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round will move on to the final
10:20pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:24Okay?
10:26Let the pursuit begin.
10:30Rahul, you are trailing by 600 points, so you'll be going first.
10:35For 200 points in the category Entertainment.
10:40Performing as Goldfish, which former Disney star won The Masked Singer in May 2024?
10:48Demi Lovato, Hilary Duff, or Vanessa Hudgens?
10:53Wow, we're starting off tough.
10:55Um, I've seen a little bit of The Masked Singer. I certainly have not kept up with it.
11:00This is going to be pretty much a guess. We're going to go with Demi Lovato. We'll lock it in.
11:08Rahul, let's see if you're right.
11:10Ooh, it was Vanessa Hudgens.
11:13No armor. For 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in the category of Geography.
11:21The Hall of Mirrors and the Peace Room are located within which European palace?
11:28The Belvedere Palace, Palace of Versailles, or Winter Palace?
11:35Um, I believe it's the Peace Room because this is where World War I they made treaties about ending,
11:42and I believe that took place in France.
11:45So I think that the answer is going to be the Palace of Versailles. Lock it in.
11:51Noam, we're going to see if you're right.
11:551,200 points for Noam. Rahul.
11:58That's work to do.
11:58You have work to do, brother.
12:00Here, then, is your 400-point question in the category of History.
12:06During World War I, which name was used as slang for the common British soldier?
12:13Was it Davey, Jerry, or Tommy?
12:19Um, I feel like I've heard this at some point,
12:22and this is another one where it's slipping from me.
12:26For some reason, Davey is ringing a bell.
12:29Jerry and Tommy don't know as much if that would fit.
12:35So, let's try Davey.
12:38Let's see if you're right.
12:39Here's open.
12:42British soldiers were called Tommies. Noam.
12:46A correct answer could put you way ahead for 400 points in the category Entertainment.
12:54Which of these is not a song released by Led Zeppelin?
12:59Black Dog, Diamond Dog, Hot Dog?
13:05Uh, I'd better get this, because Led Zeppelin was the first band
13:08who I ever bought all their albums back when it was CDs,
13:11and you had to go to the CD store.
13:13I think Black Dog and Hot Dog are songs that they actually did,
13:16so I am going to go with Diamond Dog was not a song they did.
13:21Diamond Dog, Lock It In.
13:23Let's see if you're right.
13:26Diamond Dog it is.
13:27For the record, Noam, I remember eight tracks, okay?
13:30I'm just saying, okay?
13:33Rahu, this is when you really need to score some points.
13:38Absolutely.
13:39For 600 points in the category Science and Nature.
13:44Which type of bee has the main responsibility of reproducing with the queen?
13:51The alpha, the drone, or the walker?
13:57All right.
13:58Well, I believe the worker bees specifically just work on the hive itself.
14:04Um, I haven't heard of alpha bees or use that as a term.
14:09Um, so I'm hoping that drones are the ones that are mainly this responsibility
14:14and get on the board here, so let's say drone.
14:17Final answer.
14:19I'm going to see if you're right.
14:22Drone it is.
14:23Well done.
14:23Drone taking advantage of this escalating point thing.
14:26He's gaining on you, Noam.
14:28Here is your 600-point question in art and literature.
14:34In 1965, Andy Warhol created a silent art film consisting of an eight-hour static shot of which New York
14:44City landmark?
14:44The Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, and the Statue of Liberty.
14:52I am not sure.
14:55Although I have this kind of recollection of seeing some Warhol thing sometime.
15:00That was a, um, skyscraper.
15:05So I'm gonna take a guess here and hope that it's Empire State Building. Lock it in.
15:13Let's see if you're right.
15:16That memory paid off.
15:19Rahul, if you do not get this question correct, Noam will win and move on to the final pursuit.
15:28Let's keep this going.
15:29For 800 points in the category sports and leisure.
15:35Who is the three-time NCAA tournament winning coach for South Carolina women's basketball?
15:41Dawn Staley, Gino Ariema, or Pat Summitt?
15:46All right.
15:47Well, I, uh, I know these, all these coaches.
15:51So Gino is the, uh, acclaimed coach for the University of Connecticut for the women.
15:55And Pat Summitt, uh, the amazing coach of the University of Tennessee.
15:58Go Vols.
15:59Uh, which means Dawn Staley.
16:01He's the coach of South Carolina.
16:03Rahul, why don't we see if you're right?
16:08Indeed, Dawn Staley.
16:10She's on fire as a coach.
16:11Noam, this is for the win, sir, because if you get this question correct, Rahul won't be able to catch
16:20up to you.
16:21For 800 points in the category sports and leisure.
16:26Which swimmer was suspended by Team USA following a gas station incident at the 2016 Rio Olympics?
16:35Caleb Dressel, Michael Phelps, or Ryan Lochte?
16:40I only recognize the names Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte.
16:44So I'm gonna go with one of those two.
16:46And I've never heard of anything bad happening with Michael Phelps.
16:51Uh, and if I feel like something bad had happened to him, it would probably trigger a memory.
16:55So here's hoping I'm right, because I chose this one to be number four.
16:58I'm gonna lock it in with Ryan Lochte.
17:04If it's correct, you're moving on to play for the 20,000.
17:09Let's see, Noam, if you're right.
17:14Ryan Lochte, it is. Congratulations, Noam.
17:18You are moving on to play for the $20,000.
17:22Rahul, you were a great champion and played a strong game here.
17:26And you, sir, are going home with $20,000.
17:29Not bad, huh?
17:31Not bad.
17:31It was really great having you play with us.
17:34Noam, would you like to join me over here, sir?
17:36I would be honored to join you over there.
17:40When we come back, we'll see if Noam can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for $20,000

18:06final pursuit for a chance to win $20,000.
18:12Noam, have you thought about what you might do with $20,000?
18:16I have. My five-year-old is obsessed with Dolly Parton. Obsessed.
18:21And if I win this money, we are taking the family to Dollywood.
18:25Dollywood?
18:25You got it.
18:29I've never wanted somebody to win more.

26:30The race is for second.

28:24You'll be moving on as well and Jen it was really great having you. Thanks for playing our game tonight
28:30Coming up next the pursuit continues as no arm and Julian go head-to-head for the chance to move
28:37on and play for
28:37$20,000 right here on trivial pursuit
28:51Welcome back to trivial pursuit Julian and our returning champion no arm have made it to the next round
28:58So let's get to know them a little bit better
29:01No arm your championship form was really on display in that last round. How you feeling?
29:06I'm excited. Let's do this
29:09Let's do this
29:10Julian you're an aerospace engineer, so I'm assuming science and nature is your favorite category
29:15Yes, it is being an engineer and especially an aerospace engineer science is at the top of my brain at
29:20all the time
29:21At the top of your brain at all times. I love that
29:24Well, best of luck to both of you fellas. Let's get back to the game in this round
29:29You're going to be answering multiple choice questions
29:32Working your way through the categories once again, but
29:36This time each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points
29:44You both have selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing and you picked one category that you
29:50didn't want to play
29:51Noah I see that you've decided not to play science and nature and selected history for your 1,000 point
29:59category
30:00Talk to me brother. I flunked physics senior year of high school. So science is not my forte
30:06Hard to believe you flunked anything, but there you go. Nobody's perfect
30:10And Julian I see that you've opted to skip art and literature and of course have chosen science and nature
30:17for your 1,000 point category
30:19What's up with art and literature art and literature has never been my strong suit?
30:24I usually get stuff through movies and TV, but not a lot through reading
30:27Okay, your strategies are set. I believe they're solid. So whichever one of you has the most points at the
30:34end of this round
30:35We'll move on to the final pursuit to play for
30:39$20,000
30:41Everybody ready? Yes, then let the pursuit begin
30:49Julian you are training by 200 points. So you will be going first for 200 points. Here is your multiple
30:56-choice question in
30:58History which president did not sign the Declaration of Independence George Washington
31:05John Adams or Thomas Jefferson
31:09So this is why history is not my strong suit. I really don't have a clear way of distinguishing between
31:13these
31:14I know Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence
31:17So out of the three
31:20Maybe the fact that he wrote it mean that he did not sign it. So my answer is going to
31:24be Thomas Jefferson
31:26Julian
31:27Let's see if you're right
31:30It's George Washington
31:32He was doing a little thing called fighting the Revolutionary War every time
31:36No one for 200 points
31:38Here is your multiple-choice question in the category of
31:42Geography
31:43What was the first city to host both the summer and winter Olympic Games?
31:50Beijing
31:52Montreal
31:53or Moscow
31:54I
31:55I
31:56Know that
31:57Beijing
31:58Did the summer games and I have this vague memory
32:04That they also did the winter games recently
32:08I don't feel terribly strong, but I don't have any recollection
32:12I know Montreal did summer
32:13I know I don't even know if Moscow is hosted
32:15So I'm gonna go with Beijing
32:18Uh, lock it in
32:20No one
32:21Let's see if you're right
32:24Beijing
32:25It was
32:26Well done
32:27Julian
32:28Let's keep you in the game with a correct answer
32:31For 400 points your category is geography
32:35The tectonic belt of volcanoes and earthquakes known as the Ring of Fire
32:40Is located in which ocean?
32:43The Arctic Ocean?
32:44The Atlantic Ocean?
32:46Or the Pacific Ocean?
32:49So again, geography is not a strong suit of mine
32:53But at the same time, I'm gonna try to use process of illumination to get to the right answer
32:57Ring of Fire
32:58I mean, for one, fire and Arctic Ocean don't really mix to me
33:03But at the same time, Atlantic and Pacific seem more like they would have something more tropical
33:08Or more volcanic like the Ring of Fire would have
33:11With that, I would go more towards the Hawaii region and go towards Pacific Ocean
33:18Julian, let's see if you're right
33:21With more than 400 volcanoes, the Pacific is the answer
33:25We've tied it up here
33:26Noam
33:27Your 400 point question
33:29In the category
33:31Entertainment
33:32In the 2014 action thriller
33:36What was the name of the beagle given to John Wick by his late wife?
33:41Daisy?
33:42Lily?
33:44Or Rosie?
33:46I have no idea
33:48And this feels like a shame because I had a beagle growing up
33:51Whose name was Dreamer, which is not any of these names
33:55Daisy just seems like that might be it
33:58So lock it in, let's go with Daisy
34:02Noam, let's see if you're right
34:08Keanu would be proud of you and so would your beagle
34:11I had a beagle named Jack as a kid so
34:14I'm right there with you
34:20Good dogs
34:21Question in the category sports and leisure
34:26Which NFL franchise has produced the most players in the Pro Football Hall of Fame?
34:32Is it the Chicago Bears, the Dallas Cowboys, or the Green Bay Packers?
34:38So thinking through this one, I'm trying to think of the biggest dynasties in football history
34:44Really each of these teams are strong contenders for that
34:48In terms of most Super Bowl wins, I know the Bears and Packers are both up there
34:53At this point, I'll have to go for the 50-50 guess
34:56I'll probably say the Green Bay Packers
35:00Julian, let's see if you're right
35:04The Bears is what we were looking for
35:07Noam, here's an opportunity to really put some distance between the two of you
35:12Your 600 point question in the category art and literature
35:18What is the name of Leonardo da Vinci's iconic pen and ink drawing depicting one human figure
35:25Superimposed on another?
35:27The Venetian Man
35:28The Vesuvian Man
35:30The Vitruvian Man
35:32I have no idea, I don't
35:38The Vesuvian Man doesn't seem right to me
35:40So I have to think it's Venetian
35:42Or Vitruvian
35:46But I don't think of him as having lived in Venice
35:49So I'm going to go with the Vitruvian Man
35:53Noam, let's see if you're right
35:57Vitruvian Man is correct, well done
36:00Julian, he has surged ahead by a thousand points
36:03So let's see if you can stay in the game for 800 points
36:09In the category of entertainment
36:12Who was the first woman to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
36:18Aretha Franklin
36:20Janis Joplin
36:21Tina Turner
36:23These are all legends
36:24These are all legends in the music
36:28So it's going to be a toss up for me on this one
36:31Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner
36:33Were both more into R&B and soul
36:36While Janis Joplin to me is a little bit more into rock and roll side
36:39So just purely off of that and I believe some time frame
36:43I think Janis Joplin is my answer
36:46Julian, let's see if you're right
36:51Aretha Franklin is the correct answer
36:55Noam, this is for the win because Julian will not be able to catch up with you
37:00For 800 points in the category of sports and leisure
37:06The last player to do so
37:08Who won MLB's Triple Crown in 2012?
37:12Alex Rodriguez, Joey Votto, Miguel Cabrera
37:17Uh, I'm a big Red Sox fan
37:19And there's no way Alex Rodriguez is going to bring me good luck
37:23I know well enough to avoid her
37:26And I don't know if Joey Votto's ever won it, but I know that Miguel Cabrera won it at some
37:31point
37:32So let's go with Miguel Cabrera, lock it in
37:36You're locking in Miguel Cabrera for the win
37:44Cabrera it is
37:46That means you, Noam, are moving on to play for another chance at $20,000
37:52And Julian, you're a very strong player, brother, it was great to have you with us
37:56Noam, you want to join me over here?
37:59Let's do it, let's do it
38:02Pleasure to see you again
38:03Well done sir
38:04When we come back, we'll see if Noam can count through all six categories

38:43Plus the $1,000 bonus for filling your wheel
38:47That will probably get you to Dollywood
38:50What would you do with $20,000 additional dollars in your pocket?
38:55My in-laws are Disney adults, they honeymoon there, that's where they like to go on vacation
38:59And if I win this money, we are taking Kenny and Eileen to Disney World
39:04Well, all that stands between you and $20,000, Noam, are our six Trivial Pursuit categories
