0:58

Twenty one did so to set the bar, we're

1:29

from somebody you don't expect to know something

1:31

so or so close

1:34

to home, oh, okay, Robin,

1:36

I need an example, so you like you say, oh? We're

1:47

bout in high school. You

1:50

know, want to see a problem. Brooke

1:53

was able to go to girl he wanted to go with

1:55

something like that, and when that happens

2:46

of series of games this weekend and Milwaukee Magic

2:48

versus the Bucks do you guys like,

2:51

put aside your brotherly affection and actually

2:53

go at it when you play each other? Yeah,

2:55

they do you have yardage others so on.

2:58

We we do with, I honestly think the

3:01

referees across the league have this thing

3:03

where when they see regarding each

3:05

other or we're playing against each to night.

3:07

They let us go out at War.

3:09

And then, I mean, what

3:11

will all the rest, but they miss a of calls.

3:14

Normally, we make mistakes to playing, but

3:16

they intentionally, let us beat each other

3:19

up on guarding each And are

3:21

you

3:24

5:30

one hundred eighty centimeters in

5:33

to the seeds of yeah, wow. I

5:35

were kind of sad. Then

5:37

you know exactly that's digital every

5:40

other one. So I'm willing

5:42

to risk my life version.

5:45

every story alludes nobody is so

5:47

your this these are very strict about it would be

5:49

we go up on ride so there's obviously

5:51

there's language barrier It a shot

5:53

when we do try to first one was like

5:55

there's no no, you can't rush or

5:57

6:10

he was decapitated, but he did, he died. Doing what

6:12

6:14

far as music platform of this turned out,

6:18

different not. as

6:21

well robin and brook lopez it is such

6:23

joy to talk to you but we have asked you to play

6:25

game we're calling Lopez's

6:28

beat the low. Friends is

6:31

what you are among America's Hollis athletes, but

6:33

what are you know about America's shortest

6:36

president's we're gonna we're gonna

6:38

ask you about three people who definitely never

6:40

dug? The White House basketball

6:42

6:44

prize, one of our listeners, Bill, who are the

6:46

Lopez brothers of the and be playing

6:48

for. And Allawi of Sarasota,

6:51

Florida. Right?

6:53

Now, you can collaborate, you can argue.

6:55

However, if I to the moment you

6:58

here's the first question. Martin van

7:00

Buren is tied for

7:02

second shortest. President at five

7:04

foot, six inches. Now, lots of presidents have

7:06

statues made of them, But only Van Buren

7:08

has what to memorialize and a monument

7:11

to dedicate the spots. The carriage

7:13

driver hit pothole on purpose to sling

7:15

Van Buren out of the carriage and into the mud. Be

7:19

sculpture of just is pointing right hand,

7:21

which to this day points the way to the restroom as

7:23

outside of the state dining room. Or?

7:25

See historical marker indicating the spot

7:27

Van Buren slipped and some ice that today read

7:30

it was the funniest thing that any of the gentle

7:32

folk present had ever seen or.

7:34

Really like number one does big screen Buren

7:36

family good German food back with huge A.

7:39

spot on can you help our arbiter

7:42

huge still bothers you have the question

7:46

On and even say anything

7:49

about, one thousand twelve or those

7:51

words her,. a lot of

7:54

hundred and them as go with

7:57

For me. The right? There's

7:59

A.

8:00

That opinion you can't choose, well, you know what does

8:02

order to do is not going to do it. The

8:04

your competitor unit use a Brooke. Robin's

8:07

using see you are you both happy with

8:09

that answer on day hop

8:11

movement. Rock got it was

8:14

yeah, more

8:17

or less would have been going on going the early

8:20

ironically enough Van Buren had opposed and infrastructure

8:22

bill to help six up the national

8:24

roads in some people in Indiana one of them to know

8:26

just how bad those roads. were all

8:29

right if to our chances And

8:31

at, you know, maybe you know. Robert

8:33

can come back in this one, Benjamin Harrison

8:36

was also five foot, six inches tall,

8:38

he was not afraid of the challenges

8:40

of the presidency, but he was afraid of what Iguanas.

8:44

The light switches or see

8:46

the candyman. I'm going to go.

8:49

The Iguanas really or the Guan

8:51

as Robin chooses iguanas Brock, I

8:53

like idea Benjamin Harrison being terrified,

8:56

eternal light switch for being beautiful,

8:58

be left or five. Right but

9:00

goes for light switches Robin goes for

9:02

Iguanas a both happy with you choices just

9:05

snap Brooks started again later.

9:08

he hasn't guess is as his

9:10

return to the white house and he was absolutely terrified

9:12

that we touch the lights which he be electrocuted he

9:14

and his wife would go to sleep with the lights on The

9:17

less servant would come in and turn it off for. Aren't?

9:20

We but the white zombie that's because I'm scared of the with the

9:22

words are, I'm less also valid

9:24

and loss of our are you last question let's see

9:26

if you're from? And can get,

9:28

one arm, or

9:31

ice James Madison as I'm sure

9:33

you both know, having been having the whole the president's many

9:35

time was the shortest president only. Five

9:37

foot four inches yet inches played vital role

9:39

in the American. revolution including

9:41

when thomas jefferson signed him to do

9:43

what They measure animals

9:46

to prove that the United States

9:48

was not naturally inferior to

9:50

your. Be find replacement

10:00

Declaration of Independence. Up!

10:02

they could find as if it has to get supply. That's

10:09

your as much an abrupt ah good

10:11

to go just to reload so

10:13

much measuring animal's to prove

10:15

that the I'd states wasn't actually inferior, that's your

10:17

to what a. Job that's incredible.

10:20

It's your choice again, I'll ask you. That

10:22

your final answers. Are those your final answers

10:24

part of the? The way of us

10:27

10:29

three, he was right. Your

10:32

and. The my answer.

10:35

was measure animals ah and by the

10:37

way madison including as measurements as distance between

10:39

you guys you did. That measure bit

10:53

of is on stature for sure you're

10:55

up with about we were inferior that's true

10:57

art museum. No, it's not there's

26:32

while andre to shield what a joy to talk

26:34

to you but we have asked you here today

26:36

to play game that we're calling The

26:39

great narrow way you're star

26:41

of Broadway, so why not ask you?

26:43

Three. Questions about narrow ways specifically

26:45

canals answer two to three questions

26:47

correctly and you will win our prize, one of our listeners

26:49

the voice of their choice on their voice

26:52

mail spill. Who is lucky enough to have

26:54

Andre to shields playing for them right now?

26:56

Locality of Portland, Oregon,

26:58

all right, here's your first question: you probably

27:00

noticed that the Suez Canal was

27:02

blocked for about a week by ship that got

27:04

stuck there last month, will that is not

27:07

the only time that happened?

27:09

On another occasion, the Suez Canal was blocked

27:11

by what'A. a Sign

27:14

prankster put up right at the entrance, saying "Do not

27:16

enter shark infested waters" The

27:19

be whole fleet of ships that were stranded

27:21

in the middle of the canal for eight years.

27:24

Or see very, very sad whale.

27:27

The to be yes it is

27:29

be it a.

27:32

whole fleet of ships got stranded

27:34

in the can now when it was closed

27:37

during the six day war between israel

27:39

and egypt and they stayed there for eight

27:41

years Next question? The

27:44

Suez Canal was supposed to feature or something.

27:46

That ended up being used elsewhere, what was

27:49

it was it a the statue of liberty? Be

27:51

the mall of America or see the

27:53

rockettes. Then.

27:57

That you of liberty. That's right.

28:00

Okay. Then. New super

28:03

for the first consider this lady statue

28:05

to be putting at the entrance of the Suez Canal

28:07

and Egypt's and said, "Yeah, no, so

28:10

he just kind of redesigned it" And said America: "How would you

28:12

like it and now we have to the all,

28:14

right, last question the most famous

28:16

canals are probably those in Venice

28:19

it was while? Filming on the canals in Venice that

28:21

katherine Hepburn changed her life forever,

28:23

what happened what she decided

28:25

that she had to have canals of her own spent thirty

28:27

years digging them. Around her house in. connecticut

28:30

bc insisted and all her contracts going

28:32

forward that she would only travel to and from says

28:35

The Gondola or see she

28:37

jumped into the canal, which was so filthy, cause

28:39

an eye infection that lasted for the rest of her life.

28:42

I think it should use action you're right

28:44

andre that's what is,

28:47

a, seat on the. stakes got

28:50

some sort of content to bite us in it does

28:52

As you do for the rest of her life so remember everybody

28:55

don't do your own stunts

28:58

or, do your own stance with done Then. Would

29:00

in a canal rush leone

29:02

sounds unless the stars involves jumping into the

29:04

canals metacritic without have that such

29:06

wonderfully specific advice or the

29:08

exact, spell hundred? And

31:22

your story opposites the mart got him what's interesting

35:38

time to play game we're calling Only

35:41

borders of crows in the building.

35:44

Since. You're storing it a TV show, but murder,

35:47

we thought we'd ask you about murder of Crows,

35:49

which is what you supposedly call group

35:51

of Crows nobody has ever. Asked to the Crows

35:53

about that, but we'll just go with it's as

35:55

if he has you two to three questions correctly about Crows, you

35:57

will win prize one of our. Listeners. The who

35:59

was Martin? We're playing for. Andrew

36:01

White, dove San Diego, California.

36:04

All right, first question: Crows, hold

36:06

grudges. And they often hold grudges

36:09

against the researchers who have to annoy

36:11

them during experiments. On one

36:13

occasion, group of researchers then

36:15

afterwards protected themselves.

36:18

From revenge by the Crows. Doing

36:21

what? A dressing up and giant

36:23

crow suits so the crosby intimidate. These

36:26

subscribing to the Crows Podcasts.

36:29

Or see wearing a dick Cheney

36:31

mask's arm, I believe know

36:34

this, and they dressed up as giant rose,

36:37

they did not dress up as giant

36:39

crows.

36:40

They did not, that's what I'm saying yes, no, the I

36:42

watch Dick Cheney Masks is

36:44

what they did.

36:45

That seems made up in it know

36:47

it's true or that they actually were worked

36:49

as they had warned gorilla masks while they're

36:51

working with the Crows.

36:53

And then the Crows were able to recognize Grill

36:55

masked later in public and attacks. So

36:58

they decided to see if there were recognizing,

37:00

like, it was a particular kind of mask or just mask

37:03

they put on Dick Cheney masks.

37:05

In an amateur, the know the Crows were like,

37:07

"You're cool man", the closer into Dick Cheney. Oh,

37:10

I see, is he shoots people, Marty,

37:12
