07:10And Wren, need I remind you, you need this.
07:13Otherwise, you'll be going home, sir.
07:15Here is the category.

07:40Matt, with 700 points, you're moving on to the next round.
07:43Marisha, 600 points.
07:45You, too, are moving on.
07:47And Wren, you're going home, brother.
07:49But it was great having you play with us.
07:51You're a terrific champion.
07:53And you're going home with $41,000.
07:59Coming up next, the pursuit continues as Matt and Marisha go head-to-head for the chance to move on
08:06and play for $20,000 right here in Trivial Pursuit.
08:20Welcome back, y'all, to Trivial Pursuit.
08:22Matt and Marisha have made it here to the next round after just defeating a two-time champion.
08:29So, let's get to know them a little bit better.
08:33So, Matt, your job is in analytics.
08:37Yes, it is.
08:37Exciting?
08:38I like to keep it fun.
08:39I know it's a lot of spreadsheets and numbers.
08:42But sometimes at work, when we do events and things like that, I'll dress up like a clown.
08:47I'll juggle.
08:48I'll do tricks.
08:49Well, it was our juggler that you just knocked off.
08:53Yes, yes, yes.
08:54We talked about that.
08:55And Marisha, you're an English teacher.
08:57Who's your favorite author?
08:59What I love teaching most is fairy tales.
09:03So, maybe the Brothers Grimm.
09:04I love exposing my students to the original versions and kind of traumatize them a little bit.
09:10And they say, thanks for ruining my childhood.
09:12But they do love them.
09:13They do.
09:14They do.
09:14Yeah, they love it.
09:15Best of luck to both of you going forward.
09:18Let's get back to the game.
09:19In this round, you're going to be answering multiple choice questions.
09:24Working your way through the categories once again.
09:27However, this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
09:34You both selected the order of the categories that you will be playing.
09:38And you picked one category that you just didn't want to play.
09:42And Matt, I see that you have selected not to play science and nature and elected entertainment as your 1
09:50,000 point category.
09:51Why is that?
09:52I am a pop culture junkie.
09:53So, entertainment was always going to be the 1,000 point round for me.
09:57And Marisha, I see that you have opted to skip sports and leisure.
10:02And your 1,000 point question is art and literature.
10:06Well, arts and literature, of course, as an English teacher, I'm hoping I get some good classic novels.
10:12Perfectly reasonable strategy.
10:15All right, players.
10:16Whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round, we'll move on to the final
10:21pursuit to play for $20,000.
10:25Let the pursuit begin.
10:29Marisha, you are trailing, so you'll be going first.
10:33For 200 points, in the category of science and nature.
10:38Which of these is a real insect that can lift up to 100 times its own body weight?
10:45Would it be a Hercules beetle, a Hulk beetle, or a power beetle?
10:51I haven't heard of any of these beetles, but I think that going with a classical allusion to Hercules is
11:01maybe the best option, so I'll say a Hercules beetle.
11:05Marisha, let's see if you're right.
11:09Hercules beetle it is.
11:11Matt, for 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in geography.
11:18Which sea borders the coasts of northern Turkey and southern Ukraine?
11:23Black Sea, Red Sea, or the Yellow Sea?
11:28So I know the Red Sea is south of all of that.
11:33I'm pretty sure it's black.
11:35I know that's in that area, so I'm going to go with Black Sea.
11:38Matt, let's see if you're right.
11:42Correct you are, sir.
11:44Marisha, here is your next question for 400 points in the category of entertainment.
11:51Which of these artists was not a member of the supergroup The Traveling Wilburys?
11:58Was it Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, or Tom Petty?
12:04I think I remember the music video from their most famous song.
12:09And I believe that Bob Dylan and Tom Petty were in it, so I'm going to go with Bruce Springsteen.
12:15Let's see if you're right.
12:18Correct. Matt, you're trailing by 300 points now.
12:21So, for 400 points in the category of art and literature.
12:27A line from a classic Langston Hughes poem provided the title for which of these plays?
12:35A Raisin in the Sun, Angels in America, The Iceman Cometh.
12:42Poetry is not my strong suit. I've heard of all of these plays.
12:47I think I'm going to have to take a guess.
12:50I'm going to go with A Raisin in the Sun.
12:53Matt, let's see if you're right.
12:57It was a guess, but it was also correct.
13:01Marisha, here is your next question for 600 points in the category of geography.
13:07Which of these states is officially designated as a commonwealth?
13:14Connecticut, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania.
13:19Ooh, I was hoping for Virginia to come up when I saw a commonwealth.
13:24Um, I'm just going to have to take a guess and go with Connecticut.
13:31Marisha, let's see if you're right.
13:34Mmm, it's Pennsylvania.
13:37Matt, your 600-point question in the category of sports and leisure.
13:43Which of these techniques involves briefly submerging a food in boiling water
13:48and then rapidly cooling it in ice water?
13:52Blanching, broiling, or poaching?
13:58I know it's not broiling.
14:00I was talking about food questions with my wife.
14:03And she told me, you know they're going to ask a food question.
14:07And I know sports really well.
14:09And I don't know food very well.
14:12I believe that is how you poach.
14:15So I will go with poaching.
14:17Poaching!
14:18Matt, we're going to see if you're right.
14:22Blanching, if your wife was right, you did get a cooking question.
14:26Marisha, here is your question for 800 points in the category of history.
14:33In 1932, the Australian military lost a war waged against which crop-destroying animal?
14:42Was it the dingo, emu, or Tasmanian devil?
14:48I know this because there are a lot of memes posted about them losing to this animal, and that is
14:54an emu.
14:55Marisha, let's see if you're right.
14:58Correct.
14:59You just pulled ahead.
15:01So Matt, your 800-point question in the category of history.
15:06In 1934, what celebrity bank robber escaped from jail allegedly using a wooden gun he had whittled?
15:14Is it Clyde Barrow, John Dillinger, or Pretty Boy Floyd?
15:21I know all of these guys. I think I'm going to have to take a guess again, though.
15:28I know John Dillinger escaped from jail, so I'm going to go with him.
15:31John Dillinger, lock it in.
15:32Matt, let's see if you're right.
15:36Correct.
15:37All right, Marisha, you need this to stay in the game. If not, Matt will move on to the final
15:43pursuit to play for $20,000.
15:46For 1,000 points in the category art and literature, here's your question, Marisha.
15:53Located in Paris, La Pousse is a 40-foot sculpture of which body part? Is it the ear, the foot,
16:02or thumb?
16:04I don't know French very well, but basing on my knowledge of Spanish and that it's close to French, I
16:13don't think it's ear, so I'm going to guess thumb.
16:17Marisha, to stay in the game, let's see if you're right.
16:23You're still in it, Marisha. Well played, well done.
16:27All right, Matt, it comes down to this moment. If you don't get this correct, Marisha will move on to
16:33the final pursuit.
16:34So, for 1,000 points in the category entertainment.
16:39In 2017, Prue Leith replaced what judge on the Great British Baking Show? Was that Delia Smith, Jamie Oliver, or
16:52Mary Berry?
16:53I do not watch the show, but my wife does. And so I know all about Mary Berry. So I
17:02will be locking in Mary Berry.
17:03Matt, we're going to see if you're right.
17:09Mary Berry it is. Congratulations, Matt.
17:12You, sir, are moving on to play for $20,000.
17:17Marisha, you played a very strong game, and it was great having you with us. Thank you.
17:22Hey, Matt, can you join me over here?
17:26Well done, sir.
17:27When we come back, we'll see if Matt can conquer all six categories and the final pursuit for $20,000
17:34right here on Trivial Pursuit.
17:47Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit. I'm here with Matt, who outplayed his opponents and has made it here to the
17:53final pursuit for a chance to win $20,000.
18:00Well, Matt, have you thought about what you might do with the money if you win?
18:04I do. I am expecting my first child.
18:07That would be amazing timing, yeah.
18:10I just wanted to shout them out. Oscar, love you.
18:13Well, Matt, all that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
18:19You will have 45 seconds, and you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer, and if you answer all
18:27six questions correctly, that's one question from each category, within the 45 seconds, you will, Matt, win $20,000.
18:37Sounds great.
18:38To help with your pursuit, I want you to pick the first category that you want to play.
18:43History.
18:45If you get any incorrect, Matt, you can always circle back to those categories, providing there's time remaining.

28:39Welcome back to Trivial Pursuit.
28:42Rahul and Karen have just defeated our returning champion and have made it here to the next round, so let's
28:48get to know them a little bit better.
28:51Karen, you really are good at this and seem to love this game.
28:55Oh, I love it so much that even my wedding ceremony was Trivial Pursuit themed.
29:02Really?
29:03How is that?
29:04In addition to exchanging rings, we also exchanged Trivial Pursuit pie wedges and my vows were all themed to the
29:12categories.
29:13Very normal.
29:14That is hardcore.
29:15Love.
29:16Oh, thank you.
29:18Rahul, you are an analytics engineer.
29:22Love your job?
29:22I do.
29:23Yeah, that's correct.
29:24I work for a travel company.
29:25And one of the things I really love about it is it enables me to travel more.
29:28Another passion is food.
29:29So it works really well being able to travel and eat through these different countries.
29:33I've got a few kids and being able to, you know, show them different cultures, different cuisines has been really
29:38great.
29:39Well, you're both phenomenal players.
29:41The best of luck to you.
29:42We're going to get back to the game.
29:43In this round, you will be answering questions that are multiple choice, working your way through the categories once again.
29:51But this time, each correct answer is worth an escalating value from 200 to 1,000 points.
29:58You have both selected the order of the categories that you'll be playing and you have also picked one category
30:05that you don't want to play.
30:06Now, Rahul, I see that you have elected not to play art and literature and selected geography as your 1
30:14,000 point question.
30:16Tell me why.
30:17So I love to travel, as I mentioned.
30:19I'm hoping that helps in the geography category.
30:20And Karen, you have opted not to play history and have chosen entertainment as your 1,000 point question.
30:29There are a lot of dates in history, a lot of dates, and my brain is only so big.
30:35So I chose to get rid of that.
30:37And then my eyes are always on some sort of screen.
30:41So I figured entertainment would be a good bet.
30:44All right, whichever one of you has the most points at the end of this round,
30:47we'll move on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
30:53And let the pursuit begin.
30:57Karen, you are trailing by 500 points, so you will be going first.
31:01For 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in the category sports and leisure.
31:08Which is the only Grand Slam tennis tournament to be played on clay?
31:13Is that the Australian Open, the French Open, or the U.S. Open?
31:20Ooh, the U.S. Open, I believe, is not clay.
31:27I believe Australian Open is also probably not clay.
31:33I'm going to go with the French Open.
31:36Karen, let's see if you're right.
31:40Right, you are the French Open.
31:43Rahul, for 200 points, here is your multiple choice question in the category of entertainment.
31:50Which of these Bong Joon-ho films features a genetically modified super pic?
31:57Is that Mickey 17, Okja, or the host?
32:03Well, this is why I put entertainment at my 200.
32:06Um, I've seen one Bong Joon-ho film, I believe, and it's none of these.
32:13Um, I believe Mickey 17 had something to do with genetic modification.
32:19So I'm going to go with Mickey 17, lock that in.
32:21Rahul, let's see if you're right.
32:25Mmm, it was Okja.
32:27That was the name of the pig.
32:29All right, here's an opportunity for you, Karen.
32:32For 400 points in the category of art and literature.
32:37In a popular SNL sketch, Ryan Gosling criticized Avatar graphic designers for using which font in the film's logo?
32:46Would it be Comic Sans, Futura, or Papyrus?
32:52Well, LaVar, I'm actually a graphic designer, so I see fonts in my dreams.
32:58Um, it is not Comic Sans, although that would be really hilarious.
33:03Uh, Futura is a pretty basic standard font, but the font being made fun of in the sketch is Papyrus.
33:12Karen, sounds like you know it.
33:16You know your fonts, Karen.
33:19Rahul.
33:20For 400 points in the category of history.
33:24In 2010, Iceland made it illegal for any business to profit from which practice?
33:31Alcohol sales?
33:33Employee nudity?
33:35Or unpaid internships?
33:39Wow.
33:40Mmm.
33:41So, I've been to Iceland, uh, post-2010.
33:45Um, I don't think it would be alcohol sales.
33:48I-I know they sell it there.
33:50Um, maybe a ban on employee nudity?
33:54I'm gonna go with employee nudity.
33:56Rahul.
33:57Let's see if you're right.
34:00Employee nudity?
34:01Can't believe they had to make a law against that, but...
34:04I'll take it.
34:05There you go.
34:06Okay, Karen.
34:08For 600 points in the category of geography, which of these U.S. cities is located on an isthmus?
34:18Honolulu, New Orleans, or Seattle?
34:23Oh, this is a little embarrassing because I'm f-I live in Seattle.
34:29I-I'm not really entirely sure what an isthmus is.
34:34Ugh, I feel like I would know if it was in Seattle.
34:36You know what?
34:37I'm gonna take a guess and say Honolulu.
34:41Karen, let's see if you're right.
34:45Oh!
34:46Seattle.
34:48You live on an isthmus.
34:50Sorry, Seattle.
34:52It's all good.
34:52Yes.
34:53You have to go home and answer for this moment.
34:56All right.
34:57Rahul.
34:58Your question for 600 points in the category science and nature.
35:04Turbot is an expensive delicacy of which type of food?
35:10Fish, melon, or mushroom?
35:14Well, I think I may have mentioned I really enjoy food.
35:17So this is exactly the question I was hoping for here.
35:20I've eaten turbo many times.
35:22It is a fish.
35:23Locked in.
35:24Said with confidence.
35:28Fish indeed.
35:28Okay, Karen, here is your 800-point question in the category science and nature.
35:37Neil Armstrong's space suit was made by ILC Industries, a division of which company?
35:45Jockey, Playtex, or Speedo?
35:50Oh, well, I'm gonna take out Speedo.
35:55I believe that's an Australian company.
35:59Jockey is definitely underwear.
36:04I am going to be risky and say Playtex.
36:10Karen, let's see if you're right.
36:14Playtex it is.
36:17Rahul.
36:18For 800 points in the category sports and leisure.
36:22After signing with Nike in 1995, who became the first woman with her own signature athletic
36:29shoe?
36:30Lisa Leslie, Rebecca Lobo, or Cheryl Spooks?
36:34This is a tough question.
36:37I believe the WNBA started in 97, so someone who would have been famous before that.
36:44I know they were all very accomplished in college and the WNBA.
36:50It feels like Cheryl Swoops would be the answer for the Nike Swoops, so I'm gonna go with Cheryl Swoops.
36:55Locked in.
36:57Rahul.
36:57Let's see if you're right.
37:00They were called Nike Air Swoops.
37:02Well done.
37:03Okay, Karen.
37:04If you don't get this, Rahul will win and move on to the final pursuit to play for $20,000.
37:10Here is your 1,000-point question.
37:15In entertainment, who was the first member to leave the boy band One Direction?
37:21Would that have been Harry Styles, Niall Horan, or Zayn Malik?
37:27LeVar, I love them all.
37:31And so I used to be a pretty big fan when I was younger, and I'm pretty sure that Zayn
37:38was the first one to leave. So Zayn Malik.
37:42Said with confidence.
37:45You're still in the game, Karen.
37:48Rahul.
37:48If you get this question correct, you will move on to the final round to play for $20,000.
37:54For 1,000 points in the category Geography, a human-faced golden sun is found on the flag of which
38:03of these South American countries?
38:08Argentina, Brazil, or Venezuela?
38:13So I know it's not Brazil.
38:14They've got, I believe, the Earth on there, which would leave Argentina and Venezuela.
38:20I'm pretty confident it's Argentina from international competitions.
38:27So we're going to lock in Argentina.
38:29For the win, Rahul.
38:32We'll see if you're right.
38:36Argentina is correct.
38:38Rahul, congratulations.
38:40You are moving on to play for a chance at $20,000, brother.
38:44And Karen, you were an absolutely dynamite player.
38:48Thank you for joining us.
38:52Rahul, would you join me over here, sir?
38:53I'd love to.
38:54When we come back, we'll see if Rahul can conquer all six categories in the final pursuit for $20,000
39:01right here.
39:14Welcome back.
39:15I'm here with Rahul, who outplayed his opponents and has made it to the final pursuit for a chance to
39:21win $20,000.
39:26So Rahul, have you thought about what you might do with $20,000?
39:31I have. So I think I mentioned I've got two kids and I'd love to take my wife and kids
39:35on a safari.
39:36So as we read a lot, we read a lot about the big five animals there and I think it
39:40would be a great trip if we could all go and actually find all five of them on a nice
39:43safari trip.
39:44All right. Well, all that stands between you and $20,000 are our six Trivial Pursuit categories.
39:51You're going to have 45 seconds and you will earn $1,000 for each correct answer.
39:56And if you answer all six questions correctly, that's one correct answer for each category, you will win the $20
40:03,000.
40:04That sounds incredible.
40:05To help you with your pursuit, I want you to pick the first category that you will play.
40:11We'd like to start with art and literature.
40:12Art and literature. If you get any incorrect, you'll be able to circle back to those categories, providing there is
40:19time left on the clock.
40:20Rahul, it's time for your final pursuit. Let's put 45 seconds on the clock.
40:30The time will begin when I finish reading the first question. Good luck.
40:36In Greek mythology, what king must roll a boulder uphill for all eternity?

41:24You've conquered all six, and $20,000 is now your suit.
41:29And you're moving on to play again.
41:32Feels amazing. Thank you.
41:34Thank you for playing along with us at home.
41:36We will see you next time on Tribune of the Suit, where knowing stuff is celebrated, but you don't have
