RobWelcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe.
MattAlright, welcome back to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe Today.
RobThink, think, think or drink.
MattAre you thinking or you drinking? We're going to be doing think or drink the drop game man.
RobIt's a we're really. We're really. You guys are leaning planning, exploring new territory in season two here.
MattWe might have fallen over at this point.
ChristaYeah, you leaned so far. You leaned a little too far. You know what Go big or go home, it's fine.
The FishHey, that's the way to go.
MattWe are doing think or drink trivia today, and it's going to be Rocket Science. Ooh, interesting.
SiobhanI'm scared.
RobWell you know, just because it's a science episode, I think we just need to hit the button now.
SiobhanDo it. You just want to get it out of the way. Yeah, for the whole episode.
RobYeah, Science, science, rocket, science, yeah.
SiobhanYeah.
RobWe didn't make a new drop. That just says Rocket.
ChristaScience. I'm so surprised at it later.
The FishWe're very Just add a little drop in this.
ChristaWe're very drop-heavy this season, oh yeah.
MattBefore we go any farther, let's go around the table. Here We'll introduce ourselves.
RobOkay, hi everybody, it's Rob back again.
ChristaHi everyone. I'm Kristen, I'm new.
SiobhanHey, it's Siobhan. I'm not new, I'm here all the time.
The FishHey, it's fish and I'm somewhere.
RobI bet you, you are fish.
MattJust swimming through the universe. Once again, we have the fish.
ChristaWe have the fish In an undisclosed location.
MattSo the way the game will work, we're going to ask Rocket Science themed trivia questions. If you answer correctly, you can choose someone else that is playing the game to drink and that person will lose a point. If you answer incorrectly, you lose a point and we move on to the next person.
RobYes, and we do have the make it a double mechanic, yes, which everybody can use one time where you can partner up with somebody else that's sitting here to help you answer the question. If you both get that question correct, you can both then choose somebody who will lose points. If you get it wrong, you both will lose a point, correct?
SiobhanYep, we'll remind people.
MattAll right, we will do this as we go. So let's talk about beer for a minute here. So I found some Rocket Science science themed beers. The first I have an R&D from Funk Brewing here in Pennsylvania, and then I have one called Stage Separation from Elementary, and they are both pale ales.
RobThey both look like politicians Is elementary, next to.
SiobhanAlabama. I think it's elementary, but that's okay Elementary elementary, it's still a good name.
ChristaPlay on words.
MattAll right, okay, pronunciation game not strong.
SiobhanAll right, that's why I'm here. That is why I'm here.
MattSo we're going to go ahead. We're opening up the Funk R&D Literacy in.
The FishAmerica.
MattHere we go.
SiobhanOh, chris, so nice it smells quite tasty Nice. It's a sound from the can. It's good. Spoiler alert. We've all already been drinking. It's delightful.
Our "Ologys"
The FishAll right, yeah, you guys have been drinking that one. I got my own back here.
SiobhanYeah, what do you have? What do you have?
The FishWhat do you have?
RobWell, I can try to see on the screen. Tell the people Duck rabbit is good, duck rabbit, what is it? It's the milk stout, the milk stout, good stuff. There you go.
SiobhanDelicious, good call, it's very nice.
MattAll right, here, bert, would you like?
The Fishto go first.
RobI'll show you the fish is trying. What is fish doing? Oh, he's ported.
The FishThere we go. There's the beer there.
MattIt is Okay, it's important to note that the fish is joining us remotely, so he's on a tiny iPad in the corner of the screen here. I wouldn't call that tiny.
ChristaIt's a decently sized iPad.
RobAnd, yes, I will start if you would like me to. All right, and then are we going to go around the table as we introduce ourselves with fish last, and then come back around to me.
MattYes, that's exactly what we're going to do. Okay, all right.
RobI would like to point out, although my profession is in the realm of science, it is in a completely different realm of science, so I am not very confident this morning.
MattActually, let's do that first. What is your given degree background ology?
RobOh, real quickly, my degree background ology is biology. However, my job currently I guess my title is scientist, but I'm more in the chemistry world these days. All right, I work for a major pharmaceutical company that shall not be named and I primarily work on cancer drugs.
ChristaVery cool, literally same Me and Rob have the same job.
RobOh yeah, Spoiler alert. I know Chris from work.
ChristaWe work together.
SiobhanWow, is that a spoiler? I feel like those are just facts. I mean it is a fact Is that a science fact? Yeah, a fact that is in the realm of science. I think we'd be reaching, I'd be reaching a little bit, but yeah, so there you go.
RobSo that's what I do, that's what she does.
SiobhanI'll just say ditto yeah Well, I do none of those things and I do the complete opposite, and I'm all in humanities land with maybe the ology that's closest is like etymology. I do a lot of word work, friends. Librology yeah right.
RobLibrology there's a better word for that but I will say that maybe that library background is very good for you.
SiobhanActually, the library background that I have is a masters in science.
RobWell, there you have it, so we'll ask her all around.
ChristaWe're going to ask her a question.
MattShe's going to run up to the public library Dewey Decimal and answer and then come back in.
SiobhanNo, no, no no Library of Congress for the win. You don't do a decimal around here, though it is very easy.
The FishI have used it. Do we just do a decimal system? I have used it. I feel like it's an outdated system.
ChristaI feel like it's a little.
SiobhanIt's actually better, though, than Library of Congress, and it's specifics, but I still like Library of Congress because it's more readable. Anyway, I'm an editor, so I do a lot of word things, but we'll see I'm also a huge trivia oligist. Yay, there you go. I like a lot of trivia, so we'll see how that goes for me today.
MattAll right, Fish. What do you got for us? Your degree background ology, Oceanography.
SiobhanNo, that's not.
ChristaIf theology is a fish. That is the fish.
The FishYou know what, if you really look at it, my ology would be I guess, in people, I guess oh that's good, but that's anthropology, but right now, there you go, but right now I'm just a manager in a restaurant. That's all Awesome, nice. Nothing major, nothing glorious about that.
ChristaSounds great. There's nothing glorious about most people's jobs. Okay, yeah, really.
MattThey pay the bills Exactly, and my ology, yeah, that's about it.
RobYour ology is hostology. It is, it is also there you go.
MattMy ology is psychology, which uniquely qualifies me to put up with Bert on a regular basis.
RobHey, also known as Rob. I don't think we ever refer to me as Bert on the podcast we probably have.
SiobhanAt one point it's possible.
MattAll right, are you ready?
ChristaBarely yes.
MattHere we go. First question, and don't worry, it's just rocket science. Okay, here we go. What is the estimated age of the universe based on the current cosmological observations? A billion years, 4.5 billion years, 13.8 billion years or a hundred billion years? I'm going with 100 billion years. You are going to drink. The answer is 13.8 billion years. Give or take 200 million years, either direction.
SiobhanWhen I tell you astronomy, I would like to point out when I tell you I do that because of my TikTok algorithm thing.
RobIt works. Well, I'm in an early hole here.
SiobhanThat is another joke. I should be, making, but I'm scared that I'm going to derail my brain.
ChristaShivan is to keep the jokes to a minimum so that she doesn't move any of the information out of her brain.
SiobhanIt's a very complicated Tetris puzzle. In there there's a finite level of space in the brain right now, correct?
MattCrunch bowl, krista. What type of rocket is commonly used for launching communication satellites? Liquid field rockets, solid field rockets, hybrid rockets or ion rockets?
ChristaGeez. Um, that's a. I'm going to go with liquid.
MattYou're correct, it is a liquid field rocket. Well, you may choose another lucky contestant to drink and lose a point.
ChristaUm, I'll choose fish, because he's technically next to me.
RobFish, you're down a point, Sorry finish Not of your own doing.
The FishNo, no, not at all, but More milk's out for you, so good, good. That's right.
SiobhanExactly.
RobThis may be the shortest episode of trivia we ever do. Everybody's just giving those a. Everyone's gonna.
SiobhanI don't know, she did really well. Hey man, what is not that one?
RobEverybody's got a 25% chance of getting these. That's right.
SiobhanI like those odds hey.
MattSiobhan, what is the primary component of rocket fuel? Hydrogen oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen peroxide? Now this one, I know.
SiobhanI think it's hydrogen.
MattYou are correct, it is hydrogen.
ChristaI thought I knew it but, I was like do I?
RobNo, no, no, I saw your hands out there. What?
Siobhando we do? Matt, you're not playing right.
MattI can't just make you drink tea, no, no, well, we're gonna have to. I don't know For targeting the host, listen.
SiobhanI just feel bad because Rob is already down, fish is already down.
RobWhy are you feeling bad?
SiobhanBecause I don't. I know I'm sure Play the game.
RobPlay the game. Is it me? Is it fish? Who is it? No, it's Krista. Is it Krista? Yeah, we got it. Okay, there you go. I feel like that's the thing, break her in.
The Fish takes on Newton
ChristaSomeone would have made that choice if it weren't me first. You gotta do what you gotta do, man, I will happily take one for the team, if you need to deal one out later.
MattThe R&D is pretty good, I'm really enjoying this.
SiobhanIt is really good, right? This is the beer that.
RobI feel like I can have more than one of.
SiobhanYeah, definitely, and it's only 5%.
RobIt's like a good sitting on the porch outside in the summer.
ChristaYeah, I'm into it.
MattOkay, so Rob, no, no Fish.
SiobhanIt's fish.
MattFish, you can't forget the fish.
The FishI'm sitting here, I'm drinking. What are you doing, guy?
MattI'm sorry fish, this isn't gonna be good. Okay, fish. What equation describes the relationship between the mass of a rocket and its acceleration?
RobBefore you read the answers, I just want you to know. Fish, he set me up for that question.
SiobhanYeah, he totally did. Which is actually. This is actually a good question.
RobSo so I apologize, because he tried to make it extra spicy because he was gonna try to ask it to me. So sorry, you're gonna have to take that flag for me.
SiobhanWe believe in you fish. All right you got this, you got this. Hey, yeah and so.
The FishI might be finishing that. Well, we'll see Okay.
MattSo what equation describes the relationship between the mass of a rocket and its acceleration? Newton's second law, einstein's theory of relativity, kepler's third law or Ohm's law? I can read the equations if you want, but no guarantees I'll read them correctly, squiggly line letter in the Greek alphabet.
ChristaYeah, I don't want to know about all that stuff.
The FishAll right, it's not the second one, all right. What was the third one?
MattKepler's Third law, the equation is p squared equals a cubed, or anybody that understands what that means. I am not that person.
The FishWell, how do you get a cube?
RobNo, it's p squared, of course. Yes, it equals a cubed, exactly.
ChristaHe told you these things Come on, fish keep up. That's how math works.
RobMath E equals mc hammer. We talking about numbers.
ChristaYo, I didn't know there was a math button.
SiobhanBut we're not. But that's okay.
RobExactly, we talking about coefficients.
ChristaWe're talking about algebra baby?
The FishYes, so letters.
ChristaLetters with numbers. All right, I'll go with Kepler's law.
MattOh, it is actually Newton's second law. Force equals mass times, acceleration, and Newton's second law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body.
RobDude, I didn't know you could say all those words.
MattNeither did I hey.
SiobhanI'm impressed, I'm proud of math. Wow, really good description. I knew that one.
RobOkay.
ChristaI had a really good guess for that one, which was actually the answer, so, but it was. You know, I was like Newton, that's motion.
SiobhanI mean yeah, right, Exactly.
ChristaYeah, that was my thought process.
RobShit be moving.
ChristaShit be moving All right TM Rob yes.
MattWhat does the acronym NASA stand for? National Aeronautics and Space Association yes. National Aerospace and Space Administration yes. National Astrological and Space Agency no. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
RobSorry, can you read them? We gotta read it Really Come on, yeah, yeah, let's us Wow.
MattWhat does NASA stand for? I should go with a National Aeronautics and Space Administration. National Aerospace and Space Administration. National Astrological and Space Agency. National Aeronautics and Space Administration I believe it is D. Yes, you are correct. Founded in 1955, july 29, 1955, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the United States Civilian Space Agency, responsible for the nation's civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Well, done. That is when they're not contracting the Elon Musk.
RobMy dear friend Siobhan.
SiobhanYeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.
RobLet's get you on my level and just to recap, because I didn't do that before Right, I just answered my round two question. Siobhan was in the lead with no points off.
The FishChris and.
RobI at four, fish at three. And now spoiler alert.
The FishWait, wait, wait. How did I get to three?
RobBecause you got a question wrong and somebody made you drink.
The FishOh, that sucks.
RobSorry, equals, mc Hammer. We talked about numbers. Let me tell you.
ChristaWe are going to wear that button out by the end of season two so funny.
SiobhanThat was a rocket burn.
RobOK, we're on. We're on to Chris, All right.
MattKrista.
ChristaOh God, here we go.
MattWhich of the following is a hypothetical entity that may be responsible for the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? Uranus?
RobWhat it's not your turn, Rob, oh sorry.
MattDark matter, dark energy, neutrinos or gravitational waves, so which hypothetical energy may be responsible for the acceleration and expansion of the universe?
ChristaThose all sounded like Futurama references, right there.
RobZodberg.
The FishWhat is the answer? I was going to say Sheldon was stuck in there, but you know.
ChristaGod, I'm going to guess gravitational waves.
MattYou're going to have to go ahead and take a drink.
ChristaThe answer is dark, matter Is dark matter is composed. I was. I was unsure because I was like that didn't sound like a, like a real answer. No, dark, dark matter is a real thing.
RobI know it's a real thing. That one I would have done. I didn't think that that would be responsible.
ChristaLike you, sure is a nice guy. So dark matter is composed, or?
Matthypothetically composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect or emit light, so they cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation.
RobIt's also the polar opposite of you, the dark matter.
ChristaBecause it's the white, don't matter. No, because you're the light mat.
RobThis is the dark matter. No, it's bad, it's bad.
ChristaThat was bad. No, I was trying to go to my bed, bad joke.
SiobhanBad joke. Yep, do it, can you?
Robplease confirm how much is left in there. I mean, you don't want it.
SiobhanI'm going to finish it.
RobI'm going to finish it Okay.
ChristaSo it's around half, maybe a little bit less than half.
MattMake better jokes, oh ouch.
SiobhanAnother burn, another rocket burn. We got to make one of those drops Rocket burn Right.
ChristaVery specific for this episode.
MattAll right, Hi Shabon. Hi which cosmic microwave background radiation experiment or satellite provided precise measurements of the universe's temperature, supporting the theory of cosmic inflation?
SiobhanThe economy- Give me a choice. You better give me a free choice.
MattWe have the Wilkinson microwave and probe.
SiobhanI'm sorry, can you say that?
Mattagain the Planck satellite.
SiobhanNo, you have to give me the first choice again.
RobI didn't hear it, the Wilkinson probe, it's the.
MattWMAP, the Wilkinson microwave, Annie's trophy probe.
SiobhanOkay.
MattThe Planck satellite, the cosmic background explorer or the act.
SiobhanThis is some bullshit is all I have to say when I say every time he read the first choice, more words were added.
ChristaYes, they did he literally there's so many variables.
MattI was very scared of the second word.
ChristaI came to microwave probe, then there was an A word there in there, an A situation yeah okay, I'm not asking again, because what is the real answer?
SiobhanI'm afraid there will be more syllables. It's the Anus probe, I mean let's be real, you guys, I don't know this, so him repeating it is likely not going to help me also when we're looking for a cosmic microwave background radiation experiment or satellite.
RobSo we have the Is the one with the word microwave. It your best guess, maybe I mean that could be true. I'm just throwing it out there, or you can go with the most answers.
The Fishyou see. Ain't no helping there, rob, I'm not helping anything he's not helping.
SiobhanI think we're all in the same. What the hell is this boat? Yeah?
RobYou can make this the double Take somebody down with you, that's true. Too early, Too early okay.
SiobhanOh my God, can you tell me the second one again?
MattThe Planck satellite. Okay, so not that.
SiobhanIt's up there planking and the third one we're going on this core Cosmic background explorer. I'm going to go with that one.
MattThat is correct.
SiobhanHell yeah.
RobWow, exploring the backgrounds Cosmically, we were right.
MattC was the answer, so the purpose of the cosmic background explorer was to measure microwave background radiation, which is the cooled remnant of the first light that could ever travel freely in the universe Fossil radiation.
SiobhanI would like to say this is astronomical trivia. There has been very few rocket options and I was very specific in the rocket things that I looked up this morning, so I'm a little bit sad now.
RobWell, friend, you got that right. Not sad that I know rocket things. You need to assign a drink to somebody.
SiobhanI'm a perfectionist is what I am.
RobYou need to assign, assign blame.
SiobhanWell, that chug didn't count against you, right?
RobNo, not as a point.
SiobhanSo then, you get to, you need to open another beer.
RobOkay, I'm moving over to the elementary brewing. Co-stage separation. Double IPA Sounds cool. Let's see how it tastes. There's the pop.
SiobhanPhysics.
RobOoh, hang on, there's a lot of suds.
SiobhanHe spilled over a little bit, so it's almost a party foul.
MattUh-oh, his pants are in better shape than when he spilled a lot of bourbon on them in episode one of this season.
RobI do not like this.
MattWho not enjoyable? No, Uh-oh.
RobIt is, it's very intense.
SiobhanIt is a double IPA.
RobDoesn't taste anything like an IPA to me. Oh, that's weird. The IV are hoppy or what.
SiobhanThe IBUs are really low on it actually.
RobIt's not bitter, it's a it tastes like a barley wine.
SiobhanOh, that's, I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not gonna open that though.
ChristaYeah, I might steal a sip from someone else, but I don't think it's gonna be me.
RobFish. Tell me if I'm crazy here.
ChristaLet me take a little sip of the others.
MattWhile you're doing that, fish. What is the name of the first artificial satellite launched into orbit by the Soviet Union in 1957?
RobOh, son of a bee. Are you kidding me, apollo? I have no idea Easy.
MattApollo Explorer One, sputnik One or Vanguard.
The FishWhat was the first choice?
MattApollo 11.
SiobhanBuddy double up. It's an Apollo One for the record. Sputnik One or Vanguard.
MattYou might wanna call for a double Rob's just chomping at the bit over here.
SiobhanIf you don't know this, please, there are a few of us that might. Yeah, oh.
ChristaI don't know.
RobRob needs more help. Well, actually we're all at three other than you, so yeah that's so.
SiobhanDon't call him me. Call him me, I'll help him yeah.
MattFish, you're gonna double up.
The FishOh yeah, why don't we double up? Sounds like a good idea.
RobWho you doubling with he's making it a double. Choose your poison. Who?
The FishWho's the one I don't see?
ChristaOh, it's me, that's Krista.
The FishHi. Oh yeah, the hand. Yes, I'll go with the hand.
MattYou go with the hand.
ChristaIt's me the hand, it's Sputnik. It's Sputnik One.
MattIt is definitely Sputnik One. Yay, okay, you both wanna take a point back.
SiobhanIs that what we do? I thought we were getting you both give it out to somebody else you can do either. Oh.
MattYou can either recoup, you can either recoup a point.
ChristaLook at us making up rules. No, no, no, that's been rule. This is Calvin Ball. I'm taking that back, bro. Okay, Krista's gonna take the point back.
RobFish. Would you like the point back or would you like to dole out a drink?
ChristaI'll take the point back.
RobOkay.
ChristaSmart, well done, let's go. Great, great, great, great. So let me recap that round. Anytime, I knew that one.
SiobhanNow.
RobI am in last place with three points Fish, Krista and Siobhan all have four after Fish and Krista recoup that point Word.
ChristaLet's go.
RobHere we go. All right, burt Rob, yes, rob Burt.
The FishRobert.
RobRobert, that's where it comes from everybody.
Space Junk
ChristaWhat? Oh my God, your name, holy crap.
MattYesh Robert, what is the name of the rocket that carried Apollo 11 to the moon in 1969? Steve, steve Name.
ChristaCorrect, that's crazy, no, hey oh wow, they was before.
Siobhanthey perfected all those names, they just went with Steve and Joe. Abort the Steve.
MattCarell, they made it to the moon Steve. Carell and family. The office yeah, what is the name of the rocket that? Carried Apollo 11 mission to the moon, the Saturn V, the Delta IV.
RobSay nothing more. It's the Saturn V.
MattIndeed, it is the Saturn V. Well done, he said. I don't need to give us all the choices, bro.
ChristaTake those out, wow. Confidence.
SiobhanI would have known that too.
Robit's cool, that was at least part of the things from this point, Just because I like to give her heck Krista.
SiobhanHeck.
RobHeck, Not cool, man Okay come, take Welcome to the group, drink that beer.
MattOkay, krista. How many of SpaceX's Starlink satellites are currently?
ChristaCurrently. Currently. They're currently in here.
SiobhanOh.
RobI think it was a Star Wars question.
ChristaCoruscant, Coruscant. Final answer.
RobCoruscant game hen what?
Matthow many Imperial Star Destroyers?
SiobhanNo, we already did that Trivia and I'm so sunken. It's Han Solo. It's Han.
ChristaSolo, it's Han Solo, it's always him.
MattHow many of SpaceX's Starlink satellites are currently in orbit around the Earth? 2200, 3,800, 1,400, or 4,900?
RobBefore you answer, I must just say all of those numbers are way above the number that I was thinking I was like I don't know, maybe they do them in screens.
SiobhanI had no idea they send them up in multiples. Yeah, I didn't know that.
RobYeah, I already know that I just gotta say that's a crazy any number is gonna be crazy to me, so true.
SiobhanDid not know, because I feel like they just started doing that? How could they have gotten many? I think it's been a while. He's had SpaceX for a while. Never doubt the musk. Let's not do me. I doubt the musk.
MattAll right, I love your musk. You mean trust the musk.
SiobhanAre we trusting the musk?
ChristaNot as far as I could throw.
The FishI know fair enough Same.
ChristaOkay, Sorry. Can you read the answers again for Supervillage Elon Musk.
MattSure 2200, 3800, 1400, or 4900?.
ChristaHonestly, this is way higher than I thought it was gonna be. I'm gonna go with 2800.
MattSo 2800 was not actually one of the answers.
ChristaWhat was the answer B? What are we doing?
Matt2200. Oh 2200,. I would do it that way 3800, 1400, or 4900? We talking about numbers 2200. Okay, actually 3800. Oh my God you guys.
SiobhanThat's crazy. How, how could you do that? Because you know what he's got a lot of kids. He's got a spread out.
MattLike who's seen Wally? Who's seen the movie? Like it makes me wonder you remember when the spaceship could, like, bump satellites out of the way?
SiobhanOh, that's legit, there's so many satellites in orbit around the earth.
ChristaWhere did we live? Well, that's because when they shoot him up, they just don't bring him back down.
SiobhanExactly no, yeah, it's crazy, there's so much shit up there.
ChristaI did not realize that many were from SpaceX. That's crazy. You want like?
Matta dark question. What are you?
Christadoing A dark question.
SiobhanIt's kind of a darker question. Space is dark. Is it a death one? Yeah, maybe I do.
MattWhat is the name of the space shuttle that broke apart during re-entry in 2003, killing all seven crew members 2003. Challenger Columbia, discovery or Endeavor.
SiobhanGuys, it's not the Challenger.
MattNo.
SiobhanIt's earlier and I had that poor Kristen McCullough from New Hampshire that.
The FishI did my fifth grade book report on.
SiobhanI had to talk all about her.
The FishI watched that in school.
SiobhanI can't tell, wait, I can't tell if it's the Columbia or the Discovery.
ChristaWait, fun fact did you know that in Challenger Big Bird from Sesame Street was supposed to go up in there to prove to kids that space travel was safe and they didn't put Big Bird on there because they couldn't make a space suit big enough for Big Bird?
RobCan I just say that is a cool piece of information Is that TikTok?
SiobhanIs that from TikTok or that's from your brain? That's amazing. I know that for like 10 years. I love that.
MattI'm the one who I'm going to hell for this, but my head was just a plume of yellow feathers coming in.
SiobhanNo, it's so sad.
RobBig Bird is a phoenix.
SiobhanThat's good.
ChristaThere's an alternate universe, somewhere where Big Bird grew up in front of a bunch of children.
RobSo many feathers.
SiobhanRight.
RobAll right. 93, challenger no 86, I think.
SiobhanIt was 80s. Oh what 86. Yeah, 86. Yes, I was young.
RobYes, yeah, because my dad was in high school. You weren't even born. I was not born. Wow, wait a minute, you make me feel old.
The FishDon't worry.
SiobhanFish how old were you?
The FishWell, I was in high school at the time. Oh well then, you are old.
ChristaChallenger exploded 10 years before I was born. I was born in 1996.
MattYeah, fish is going to punch me for this. I was one.
SiobhanOK, well, I was three, so that's closer.
MattYou are right, it is either Columbia or Discovery. Ok, thank you.
SiobhanThank you. A rocket boost, Listen get over it, just shut it.
The FishJust shut it. Hold on a moment.
SiobhanI said it out loud, oh there, huh, oh F me, is it Columbia.
RobYes, it is yes because the discovery is currently. I was like, yeah, the discovery, I know that that exists already, so it wouldn't have exploded.
The FishOh my gosh Shabon.
SiobhanEverybody who knows things about rockets is mad at me right now.
ChristaBut it's fine. Dude, I went to the Air and Space Smithsonian eight years ago and I'm like damn. I wish I went there more recently. So has to acquire the knowledge to.
RobI love it.
ChristaIt's nice.
RobSo I went to the one. Oh, fish, fish, you're taking a drink. But yeah, ok, yes, you are Sorry, it's also Fish's turn.
SiobhanYes, it is also his turn, oh man.
RobOh wait, did I give him your drink? I said no, no, no, no Fish wait.
SiobhanNo, that's fine. Ok, what's he at? Because he got a point back.
RobYeah, he did. Now he's back to three now.
SiobhanOK, that's fine. Ok, fish, you're drinking. Sorry, sorry, dude, you're drinking and you're answering a question.
The FishAre you ready Fish? I got to open another beer.
SiobhanAmazing.
ChristaPlease hold.
MattListen while opening. What is the name of the principle that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Is it Newton's first law, newton's second law, newton's third law or Einstein's law?
ChristaI'm going to say Newton's fourth law and you're like what I know? Oh my god.
SiobhanThat's pretty good, he gets all of these?
MattIs it Newton's first, second or third law, or Einstein's law?
The FishWell, considering that we already talked about Newton before and I have no idea which law we talked about then, that was the second.
SiobhanOk, so therefore it is not the second, he's not. He still has three other choices.
MattYou want to chug again? No, you could.
The FishOk, you're fine. Hey, I just poured another beer.
RobI did All right fish.
The FishWhere are we going here? Could you read the question again, please?
MattYep. What is the name of the principle that states for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction? Newton's first law, newton's second law, newton's third law or Einstein's law? There's smoke coming out of my iPad right now.
The FishYeah well, there's smoke coming out of my head right now.
MattThat's where it's coming from. I can see it.
The FishI can see it, we'll go with Newton's first law.
MattOh is Newton's third law. You were good on Newton's law.
SiobhanAlso is Einstein's a law.
MattNo. Okay, I was like I said, I was like it's a theory.
RobYeah, that's a theory of relativity. The theory of relativity. Right, yes, not law.
SiobhanI took high school or kid science High school or kid Like I know what hypothesis and theories are okay.
RobQuick recap oh crap, siobhan. And the lead with four points still Nearly unscathed.
SiobhanSay it, jinx.
RobWe've got myself in second with three points. We've got Krista and Fish with two points.
ChristaBecause suck Right. You know what?
RobAnd myself, Krista and Siobhan both have to make it a double still available to us Right, we do, just going to throw that out there.
MattDoes anybody have one point? No, okay, all right.
SiobhanNo one pointers.
MattAre you ready?
SiobhanAre we making up rules again?
MattI'm a host, I can do whatever, oh OK.
The FishOK, go on, I'm ready. Go ahead. I thought he was looking in the books for the world.
MattHit me. What is string theory?
ChristaOh I, I think I might know this.
MattRob's eyes inflated four sizes.
SiobhanOK, go on Yep, give them choices.
MattA theory that describes the behavior of vibrating guitar strings. A theory that explains the origin and properties of cosmic strings in the universe. A theory that unifies all fundamental forces of nature by considering elementary particles as tiny vibrating strings. A theory that explains the travel of planetary bodies is being bound by vibrating gravitational strings.
SiobhanOh, that Springs.
RobFirst answer I believe it is D.
MattYou believe it is D.
RobIt's either B or D, and I'm going to go with D.
MattYour guitar, on several occasions, has been tuned to drop D. However, in this case, the answer was C, a theory that unifies all fundamental forces of nature by considering elementary particles as tiny vibrating strings. Interesting, well, crap, krista. Yeah, what is the name of the unit of measurement used to express the amount of force generated by a rocket engine a Newton, a Joule, a watt or a kilogram?
RobDo you need assistance?
ChristaI feel like I might know it, but I'm going to?
RobOK, go ahead.
ChristaNo, no, no. I'm going to call my double for Rob, because we're friends.
MattCan you make it in a double? Oh Joule.
ChristaYeah, that's what I was going to say. Can we agree upon?
The FishJoule, yeah, guys.
MattThe immortal world is Indiana Jones. Last year you chose poorly. It is a.
SiobhanNewton. Oh really yeah, kids, what?
MattYes, it is a Newton of force.
RobJoule is a unit of work, guys. There's a lot, yes, but it is a Newton of force.
SiobhanThere's a lot of Also a delicious cookie. String theory of Newton in these questions.
ChristaSon of a, b.
SiobhanI'm so sorry, bummer, you guys, wow, I mean, at least you're on the same page. No, I thought I was a full student Because I was like, yeah, joule is a Newton of force.
RobWhat is this? Look at this. We do science.
ChristaYeah, I mean it was so real, but not physics. We don't do physics, yeah, we do chem.
SiobhanIt is quite a different science. We do chemistry, well crap everybody.
RobI'm so sorry Aw.
SiobhanThat was such a nice partnership show, though I know it was.
RobShe tried to help me out.
ChristaYou know what? I'm never trusting Rob, ever again.
SiobhanOh man Wow, another burn.
MattRocking Lesson Life, lesson All right, yes. Which of the following is the type of compact star with an extremely high density, son of a B? Are you kidding me Again? Astronomy, can I end up formed after?
Siobhana supernova. Uh-huh.
MattYou're a little salty over there. Wow, neutron star, a white dwarf, a red giant or a black hole?
SiobhanI'm sorry. Can you read the question again?
MattI can, which of the following is a type of compact star with an extremely high density formed after a supernova, neutron star, a white dwarf, a red giant or a black hole?
SiobhanI think it's a black hole. I could be wrong, but I think it's a black hole. Go ahead.
MattYou're going with black hole, I am. The correct answer is actually A neutron star.
SiobhanOkay, see, you didn't know it either.
MattRob, I thought it was a white dwarf.
SiobhanYes, me too, I thought it was between those two yeah kids Okay.
RobWell, you know what? This is the second one where I was very confident my astronomy teacher in college.
SiobhanMy astronomy teacher in college.
ChristaThe new. Thing is?
SiobhanRob knows all these questions. Quote unquote. My astronomy teacher in college would have been very mad about that. He tried to make me the TA after I took astronomy once and I was like yo, I'm a senior in college, I'm not coming back to TA, your class you took astronomy in college.
ChristaI did. It was amazing. Yes, it was a science class. I wish I had a room in my schedule to do that kind of stuff.
SiobhanThere's a lot of physics, but it was still really cool.
RobAll right, let's get fish on the board here. Here we go.
MattYou know what elective I took senior year of college Geography of wine. That was wine tasting. What? Because I said you need one credit and my options were like basket weaving, wine tasting or more serious options. I was like no.
The FishWait, you had a wine tasting class in college.
MattYeah, he did. Oh yeah. Oh, we can talk about that. I thought he was. No, I can talk about that. That class is awesome.
ChristaMy brother did a beer brewing class where they got to brew their own beer. However, he took that class and they did all their prep work to brew the beer, but you know, you got to let it ferment for a couple weeks or whatever. Unfortunately, those two weeks he was supposed to ferment were supposed to be the two weeks to flatten the curve, and then they never went back to school, so that beer just rotted at their school. No, he never got to taste it. What a bummer. It was so tragic.
MattMoment of silence for that beer. There it was. It was a bummer.
SiobhanFish. What's the Newton's law? No, I'm just kidding.
MattWhat is the?
Christaname the guy. Yeah, who's the guy.
MattWhat is the name of the effect that causes rockets to veer off course, due to the rotation of the earth? The Coriolis effect, the Doppler effect, the Faraday effect or the Zeman effect?
ChristaWas this part of the plot of the Martian? I feel like this was like a huge yeah, it's a good movie.
SiobhanRight, it's a good book, Mad this is really good stuff.
ChristaIt's a good book. It's a huge contentious. I felt like I wanted to do this.
SiobhanI had to do another stress.
MattRogue Answer the Coriolis effect.
The FishHmm, I'm going to go with that one.
MattYou are correct, it is the choreo.
SiobhanNicely done.
MattMaybe, like next season, I can reach out to Neil deGrasse Tyson and he can be, like my phone, a friend there you go to work.
ChristaNeil, that's the coolest thing ever, neil, just in case you're not busy, or Bill.
SiobhanNye the science guy. Oh yeah, that's.
MattBill Nye.
SiobhanWhat the bow tie, I went to grass.
MattThat's fine.
SiobhanBill Nye is awesome.
RobBill Nye, the science guy, bill Nye. Bill Nye.
SiobhanWe used to watch that all the time.
The FishNo, I want him to drink. That's a good choice.
RobDang. That's a good choice, because that ties fish and shivan for two at the top of the leaderboard. Chris and I, with one, hold on by the skin of our teeth. One point you have one point.
MattYeah, all right, as a benevolent host, you each get another point.
SiobhanWhy do you have like 80 more pages of questions that?
The Fishyou're like.
RobListen here for eight hours here we are going to the next round. Everybody's tied it to. It's a brand new ball game.
SiobhanOh my god, it's anybody's game.
RobNow I will tell you that shivan and I both have our make it a doubles. We do.
ChristaStill in our pockets Been trying to see that Hold on Shavons waiting for the perfect moment.
MattOkay, here we go. What is the name of the boundary in the solar system that marks the point which the sun's gravitational influence is no longer dominant? The or cloud, the heliopause, the Kuiper belt or the asteroid belt?
RobI know one is not. It's not the asteroid belt, because everything beyond that is still orbiting the sun.
MattGive me the other three Something cloud is the work cloud, the heliopause or the Kuiper belt, and I'll do you a favor, since I handed out a couple.
SiobhanIt is not the Kuiper belt, you're not working out or heliopause. Three choices, though, only right.
RobNo, no, no, no, I eliminated the fourth.
SiobhanThat's right. Good call, good call, not right.
RobSo we're either looking at the or cloud, which doesn't make sense to me, because usually when they name things cloud, it's like a cluster of stars.
The FishSo I'm going to go with the other one, which is the heliopause.
MattIt is the heliopause. Yeah, you know why.
SiobhanYou know why Helio is sun in Greek.
MattThere you go.
SiobhanYou would call them big way, big brain. I would have helped you.
RobI mean I could have, but I felt like Also, there's only I listen.
SiobhanI'm still holding on to these doubles. I know that's fair.
MattFun fact time. The heliopause is the boundary that defines the outermost region of our solar system. It is the point at which the solar wind from the sun, composed of charged particles, slows down and merges with the interstellar medium. Beyond the heliopause, the influence of the sun's gravity diminishes. The effects of the interstellar medium become more prominent.
SiobhanSo interesting. There you have it.
RobThere's also like there's another heliopause thing, so let the people know that over the next two years calendar years through 2025, we are now in what's called a solar maximum. Okay, and what that means is that the electromagnetic storms on the sun are going to be more prominent, more intense and more frequent, and therefore the aurora borealis, also known as the northern lights, are going to be more readily visible further south than normal. Go see the northern lights.
ChristaChange my life. You just saw them in Iceland.
SiobhanThat's like the place to see the eastland, I know it's cool there, and I didn't see them when I was there.
RobYou, were there the wrong time of year.
SiobhanNo, I wasn't. I was there in November, nerd, oh yeah, and.
RobI was only there for five days, though.
SiobhanI know I was only there for five days and we only tried twice. So it's just the weather didn't work out because the climate was there. No, no, I feel that the lights weren't there.
The FishRight, and it's Chris's turn it is.
MattWhat is the name of SpaceX's crewed spacecraft designed to transport astronauts to and from the International Space Station the Falcon Heavy, the Dragon, the Starship or the Falcon nine?
ChristaMan.
MattSpaceX is crewed spacecraft Falcon Heavy, Dragon, Starship or Falcon nine. Crewed meaning people.
SiobhanPeople and not kind of not the end or all spacecraft.
ChristaYeah, I feel like it's well. I mean it's SpaceX, so it's probably get like a real, like bitch in name. Read me the choices again, because I remember two of them.
MattThe Falcon Heavy, the Dragon, the Starship or the Falcon nine.
ChristaI feel like I'm going to go with the Dragon.
RobIt's one of the Falcons. That is correct. Oh, let's go.
MattSo the actual, the actual name when I crafted the questions Time out. Time out no no, no, no, no, no Time out.
RobI never gave somebody a drink. Well, you can wait, okay.
ChristaYou got to do a double drink. I'll get one and you give one.
SiobhanOkay, I'm going to die.
MattActual name of the rocket was the Crew Dragon. So when I made this question with a little help from chat GPT to get all these done I had to chop out crew to make it a little less obvious.
ChristaDid you use chat GPT for all of your questions?
MattYes, I did and I verified them all up against Google to make sure that they were correct.
SiobhanI was going to ask. If you fact checked, I would have helped fact check.
ChristaThat's cool. I did not know that that's fun.
MattWell, I figured I'd use it as the ship's computer and it did give me a couple of questionable answers that I typed back in and then Google it and it was like oh, I'm sorry, my answer was wrong, this is what it should be.
SiobhanAnd I'm like you knew, but why did you screw it up? Listen, I was coming for you, bro. I love drinking that.
RobHey man, I'm just a trooper. He's rocketing through it, yeah.
SiobhanI feel like big space pun. It's really cool that you used AI in like a science heavy trivia.
ChristaI'll make Siobhan drink, okay, sure.
SiobhanWord. I got it. You're down to one.
RobI was due and because I've not given out a drink, I'm not going to be terrible.
SiobhanThank you, I appreciate it. I would like to be out of my own accord.
MattThe good fish. Thank you, sir. All right, siobhan. Who was the captain of the Apollo 13 mission? Armstrong, buzz Aldrin, jim Lovell or Alan Shepard?
SiobhanWell, I think it's Jim Lovell.
MattIt was Jim Lovell, yeah.
SiobhanThat's Tom Hanks right.
RobYeah, tom Hanks.
SiobhanTell me everything he says is a stitch.
ChristaTell me why when you said the captain of, I was for sure. My brain was like captain of the enterprise, obviously, oh clearly.
SiobhanJames T Kirk. I was like you're boy, james. Oh my God, james.
RobT Kirk's middle name Tiberius. I said Picard.
SiobhanThat's how you know I'm a next generation person. I mean, I don't hate the old original series.
ChristaI just have you guys watched Strange New Worlds on Paramount, by the way. No, it's one of the best show they've come out with in years.
SiobhanWe should do a Trek trivia we should not be good, probably, but it would be fun to learn.
RobWars man, not a Trekman.
The FishAll.
ChristaI'm thinking right now I can do either one I know I've been on some Star Trek things, but yeah, fish goes both ways.
RobStrange New Worlds is excellent.
MattSo I recommend it. All I'm thinking right now is Houston. We have a problem, oh yeah. That's all I can hear.
RobThere's something on the wing.
ChristaI have to shut their shutter, so great we have no way to take Shatner.
SiobhanCan you remind me of the scores, because I have a drink to give out.
RobYou do, I have two, krista has two. You and fish both have one.
SiobhanAll right. Well, I'm going to give you, rob, a drink.
RobMe Rob. Yep, okay, me Rob.
SiobhanYou Rob. You Rob a drink. I almost did a Seth Rogen laugh again that was like a, that was like I'm sorry to drink that love that.
MattFish. You did so well with a force question last time. Here we go again. What is the name of the force that opposes the motion of a rocket due to the gravitational pull of a celestial body? Gravitational.
ChristaGravitational yeah.
MattThank you. Gravitational Got it. Is it centrifugal force, gravitational force, magnetic force or the Coriolis force?
SiobhanIt's centrifugal centrifugal, centrifugal. It's a fugal foreign.
RobFugal horn.
SiobhanIt's centrifugal.
RobAll right.
The FishI said you put the pronunciation on the wrong, the syllables.
SiobhanYes.
MattMy infast. This was on the wrong, so label yes, all right.
The FishSo can you read the answers again.
MattYeah, centrificial force Gravitational.
RobWords drop from Shavon.
SiobhanYeah Words.
The FishWe're talking about words.
SiobhanThe forest motherfucker. Yeah, that's right Dictionary. Wow, the ms, the words.
ChristaThe words. There was an aerial.
RobThe sky, oh yeah.
MattWhat is the name of the force that opposes the motion of a rocket due to gravitational pull of a celestial body? Centrificial force, gravitational force, magnetic force or the Coriolis force?
The FishAll right, well. Well, those other words sound kind of fancy, but I'm going with gravitational force. You are correct.
ChristaYeah, I'm glad that after five minutes of deliberation while we all lose our minds out here, fish got the right answer. Yeah, he looked it up, he did.
SiobhanHe was like they're all talking, I'm going to look it up on Google.
ChristaThey're all having an injury, not that I want to influence your decision fish, but Chris is the only one with two points.
RobThe rest of us have one.
ChristaYou can either take somebody out of the game or making an equal game going to the last round.
SiobhanI helped you on the double round Matt has 87 more questions, so he'll cry a little.
The FishYeah, you did. Okay, I'm going to call an audible. Oh, matt, here's it.
MattOkay, I'll drink.
RobWhoa he is penalized Fish, fish, fish, oh man, no, I love, that Fish is a maker.
MattI love it. I love it. Here's why, drinking the universe, we call that a quirk, quirk.
The FishOh my God, you had to be great science referees.
SiobhanI would science button for that, science button, quirk.
RobThis is your first real science button button.
MattLet me enjoy this.
RobScience, science. I must say, even though I'm drinking a terrible beer, I'll even stellar sip that.
SiobhanI poured you a better one. Steller sip.
ChristaI know I'm not getting pineapple on the nose. A little bit there's about eight flavors in this thing, Chavon.
Siobhanthat is delicious. So I brought sour from tripping animals.
ChristaMay I guess the contents you can, there's so many, Rob I'm getting pineapple for sure.
RobAm I getting a guava?
SiobhanThere's another tropical fruit in there I'm getting pineapple for sure.
RobI'm getting pineapple for sure.
SiobhanThere's another tropical fruit in there.
RobIs it dragon fruit?
This is where the episode title come from...
SiobhanNo, it's not that cool. I would say passion fruit, passion fruit. We got one, two more fruits.
RobThere's definitely some citrus in there as well. No, is that just the pineapple then?
ChristaI was just. I thought it was gonna be orange. Yeah, I'm getting an orange. Yeah, it might just be made. The pineapple is just black.
RobIs it a lactose as well?
SiobhanThere is milk sugar.
Robyes, yeah, okay, I'm getting lactose, there's well if we count other flavors, there's five more. Okay, you know what? I'm just lengthening this episode and I'll stop because Matt's giving me a look.
MattNo, I have no idea how this discussion started and that's where the look is coming from.
SiobhanWell, I poured him a better beer than the garbage pile beer that he was drinking.
RobI'm drinking good beer now. I'm just trying to guess what was in it. Tossed chug and the name. What is that for?
MattI bought you good beer, drink your beer.
SiobhanThat's not good beer. That was good beer. I mean it's not great beer, I mean just drink well chug that beer oh no, wait how much is in it.
RobI'm sorry Like a lot, like half a drink. Oh no, that's gonna be awful. We're in a situation where Chris is in the lead with two, everybody else has one Shavada and I both have Megan of Doubles.
MattWhat is the name of the process by which a rocket's engines are shut down and it enters a stable orbit around a celestial body? Is it the circularization burn, the injection burn, the traverse burn or the escape burn?
RobYou should go to a. I'm pretty sure I had a circularization burn when I was born.
SiobhanWell, I was about to say you should go to a doctor If you have an injection burn we're about to go to a doctor.
RobWell done, understandable. So, circularization burn what burn.
MattInjection burn, traverse burn or escape burn. If it's an injection burn, you gotta get some cream for that or a couple of pills.
SiobhanThat is the UTI, son, you get the cream.
RobYeah, I'm very good.
SiobhanOh.
RobGod, I don't know. I would like to make it a double. Oh, I would like to make it a double with Krista.
ChristaJesus. What's the answers again? I know one is circularization.
RobI thought to check this terrible beard.
ChristaOne is circularization one is escape one's injection. What's the other one?
MattCircularization, injection, transverse or escape burn.
ChristaI feel like it might be either injection or escape, but I don't really know. What are you feeling, Rob? I kinda wanna say injection. It rings a bell to me, but I don't remember if that's entering atmosphere or leaving atmosphere.
RobEntering a stable orbit around the celestial body.
SiobhanCorrect Is what he said.
RobSo I don't know that circumcision burn is sounding a lot more.
The FishA sin.
ChristaNo, I mean it's circular, right, the circular, the circular is the same.
RobHow about A? How about A?
ChristaI'd be down with that. We're gonna go with A.
MattYou're going with the Jewish. Burn the circular. Let's see Circumcision. Burn. No, no, no, no, it's an instantaneous burn.
RobIt's the Christian burn the Jews wait until they're 13.
SiobhanWhat? No way don't. What are you talking about? To get a circumcision? No, they don't. That's a brisk. That's a brisk.
RobThat's a brisk, it's a part of the bar mitzvah, isn't it? No, it is not no.
SiobhanAre you?
Robkidding.
ChristaNo, are you kidding? No, I don't know.
SiobhanNo, the brisk I thought that was part of it. Haven't you seen the Seinfeld episode for the brisk? No, wait, wait, wait. I thought that was a baby. Are you joking right now? I?
Robthought that the Jews waited until they were 13. No, I thought that was part of the bar mitzvah. I thought they were like Shabbat shalom. You know, you know.
ChristaThe bar mitzvah is where you go. Read from my whole body what the fuck.
RobI thought that the party was after they take the day.
SiobhanIt's when they become a man.
RobIt's when they become a man. What, what do you think?
Christawas the bar mitzvah. The female version. Yes, what did you think that was?
SiobhanFair question when they get their period?
RobOh, it's when they become a woman.
SiobhanThat's actually. They bleed, that's OK. First of all, they both bleed, no.
RobThe men bleed and the women bleed. The mitzvah is not for bleeding.
SiobhanI'm so scared that you didn't know that. How do you not know?
Robthat Time out before we continue this conversation. Did we get it right what we did?
SiobhanYou did get it right. Yes, I'm crying right now. Yes, I will tell you. Yes, it is the circularization burn. Yes, thank you, judea.
RobI'm taking that point.
ChristaI'm taking that point.
SiobhanOh. Wait, give me a point too, because I know that, my god, oh my god, I can't believe that shit.
The FishI think we should all get a point for Rob Rob you need to get into Jewish media a little more Dude.
ChristaI'm just watching. I know I just watched all the books. We need a history trivia.
SiobhanListen, I don't know anything Clearly here OK.
MattI just finished the last night for the Jewish community bro, I wish.
ChristaI could but Jesus Christ.
MattSo here's the grand irony in all this when I was shopping for beer, oh lord. On the shelf was one and it was Hebrew. Literally it said on the top the chosen beer and had a Jewish name. It's Hebrew. I looked at it, it was like that'll never fit today's episode.
SiobhanThere's no way we'll ever bring anything up related to that? Of course we will, and here we are. It is Well. Hebrew is a brewing company.
MattWell, just name it after.
SiobhanI mean you might need to for a little bit.
ChristaI don't know what to tell you. We're going to circularize back.
SiobhanWe're going to circumcise.
ChristaBack here.
RobWe're going to circumcise.
Mattback to the beginning. I enjoy mitzvah as much as the next guy. Ok, but we need to move on to the next question.
ChristaWait, did we make people drink for a thing?
MattYeah, you're not doing it right?
SiobhanNo, we took back time to drink, we took points back.
RobWe took points.
ChristaI saw that was so long ago. Oh, did you guys?
SiobhanWell, wait what. All right, it's my turn, right. No, it's Krista's turn. No, she's not. Oh, no, no.
RobWe doubled up with.
SiobhanRhaen, we doubled up so much has happened so much has happened, screaming.
MattOK, krista. What is the name of the rocket that NASA is developing to carry astronauts to the moon and eventually to Mars? Ooh cool. Do you know? Orion, artemis, sls or Starship?
ChristaI think it's Artemis.
MattIt is the Artemis, you are correct.
RobYeah, that's cool, that's cool Nice. That's another. That's a current trivia.
SiobhanThat's another classical reference, yeah, mythology reference, if you want.
RobI'm glad they didn't name it Icarus, or this is a.
ChristaHuntress. Isn't it, yeah, isn't she yeah?
RobShe's a constellation.
ChristaDiana.
SiobhanYes, mars is her brother.
RobSiobhan, I would just like to remind you that you still have your Megan a double.
ChristaYou're the only one who has it left.
RobGood to know, Wait do.
The FishI get to make someone drink, is that?
Robmy thing now. You do, yeah, you do.
ChristaCan I ask what the standings are? You can.
SiobhanI forgot that was so long ago. You are in the lead with three. It was at least eight minutes.
RobI have two, siobhan and Fish. Both have one.
ChristaDo I be mean and knock one out, or do I knock you down to one?
RobI mean, you could do anything you want. Knock them down Because you are.
SiobhanIt would be ruthless to cut somebody out.
ChristaRob helped me out with the circulation.
SiobhanI got you that point back.
RobI knocked a different word. Come on girl.
ChristaI'm going to knock Siobhan out.
SiobhanI'm sorry, siobhan, I feel like Siobhan has been dangerous, this whole game, that's fair.
MattLet's say Wow. I'm sorry.
SiobhanSiobhan.
The FishThat's.
SiobhanOK.
ChristaThis is going to be one awkward hand out later. No, that's OK, I swear I'm cool. Guess what? Now you can make jokes. Can I leave where it's not you can make jokes.
The FishThe whole rest of the episode oh, don't worry, I was going to do that anyway, but it's cool.
ChristaSiobhan's turn is going to be replaced by jokes and or space bags.
SiobhanI'm only bummed. Wait. Can I ask a question of the host right now?
RobYeah, I would say you get your make-it-a-double as a life-saving question.
SiobhanNo, my thought is that's fine. I don't need to be answering more questions. Could I hand my make-it-a-double out to someone, because everyone has used theirs? Can I give it to someone who is still in the game?
MattYeah, sure, let's do that. Ok, can I just say that I love you.
SiobhanYeah, you can, but I'm giving it to Krista, no Yum.
ChristaI am. I am Siobhan. Thank you very much.
SiobhanI got you girl Even though I knocked you out. She is a lady, that's OK, I'm here. I'm here for you. I should not drop.
ChristaIt's because it's because we both said we hit a big bang.
RobI love you less.
ChristaI love you less.
SiobhanThat's OK, that's fine, I'll take it. I'll take it.
MattWhat is the name of the first rocket that successfully put a human in space? The Vostok 1, the Gemini 3, Apollo 11, or Sputnik 1?
RobI know this one as well, but he has no make-it-a-double.
ChristaYeah, I know.
RobFish thinks.
ChristaYou got this fish. I believe in you.
The FishWell, that's good. Because I'm not sure I believe in myself, I'm going to send you telepathic waves.
SiobhanNo, I'm sending vibes. I can still do that. I can still do that.
RobFun fact, the man's name is John Glenn. That helps you.
ChristaNo, it is not. It's not the Russian one.
SiobhanThe man's name is Yuri Gagarin.
MattStop helping, stop helping.
ChristaIt was Russian was the first man in space.
MattCorrect.
ChristaI hope that helps you face it.
The FishWhat are my choices again?
MattSo the Vostok 1, Gemini 3, Apollo 11, or Sputnik 1? This?
Robis more shocking than the circumcision revelation that I've had.
SiobhanWe can tell you I don't think it is actually Not the first person in space.
ChristaThe first person in space.
SiobhanHe's also the first actually John Glenn is the first man in orbit.
ChristaIn orbit.
SiobhanThere you go, alan Shepard is the first man in space.
The FishYuri Gagarin is the first man. Oh sorry.
SiobhanGo ahead.
RobLet's let Fish answer his GD. Answer Fish, we've helped you immensely now.
The FishHey, yes, I know you've knocked out two answers for me, so B and C are not correct, right?
ChristaTeamwork and Sputnik wasn't earlier answer, if that helps.
SiobhanRight which it was not a manned mission.
ChristaI didn't say anything. I just said it was an earlier answer.
SiobhanOh, she's helping a lot actually, and then you help me. I suck, I'm second. Come on help me.
RobSomebody help this shit out of me in a moment. I'm not helping this shit out of you at all.
MattNo, all right Fish. What do you got?
The FishI'm going to go with Gemini.
MattIt is the Vostok one. No Goodbye.
SiobhanFish, sorry, fish Dude. Yeah, oh, we knew you so well.
RobIt was great.
SiobhanSorry Fish, it's been wonderful. It's OK Fish, Now you can just make funny comments like me.
RobBut here we are.
The FishI've been doing that the whole time. Exactly here we are.
RobChris Krista in the lead with the make it a double from Siobhan in her pocket and she is at three, I am at two.
SiobhanYou guys still have so many points and it is your turn. It is my turn.
RobAre you going to hand select a question for me? You jackass oh.
MattI got one right here. What is the name of the term that describes the ratio of thrust produced by a rocket engine to the amount of propellant consumed?
ChristaPhysics.
MattSpecific impulse, thrust to weight ratio, propellant efficiency or thrust efficiency.
RobI'm going to go with thrust efficiency because I'm a thruster. Let's go. Tmi, son of a bitch.
MattIt is the specific impulse. Well, my impulse was wrong.
RobDamn.
SiobhanYeah.
RobI had nothing. Yeah, I'm down to one point, krista. Oh, hi, krista.
The FishWhen you're all here.
RobThis could be it. This could be it. Oh wait, I was going to ask Wait.
Siobhancan I ask a clarifying question?
RobYes.
SiobhanIf she chooses to make it a double, can it only be an active player in the game.
ChristaI was just thinking that I could choose to. I could choose to save Rob for a while longer if we wanted to do more questions, or could she?
Robget somebody back into the game. Oh, I don't know, that's a lot of work.
SiobhanI like being tired, I just a respawn.
MattYou know what. You never know what happens in the universe. Her discretion.
SiobhanOK, fair enough, Fair enough Fair enough.
The FishOK, Wow it's up to you, Krista.
MattWhat is the term for the study of nature, origin and evolution of the universe as a whole? Is it astrophysics, cosmology, astrobiology or stellar evolution? Study of nature, origin and evolution of the universe as a whole.
ChristaAs a whole.
MattAstrophysics, cosmology, astrobiology or stellar evolution.
The FishChoose cosmology.
ChristaOh thanks, fish, you know what I'm going to go with. Astrobiology.
MattIt is cosmology.
The FishIt is cosmology.
MattFish fish fish.
RobRemember that time that fish gave you the answer and then you didn't choose it. Yeah, ok, everybody, I felt like it wasn't right. Here we go. I'm a fish. I doubted you, bro. 2 and 1, right. 2 and 1. Krista, 2, me at 1. Here we go, oh god, here we go.
MattWhat is the name of the device that regulates the flow of propellants into a rocket engine? Is it the fuel valve, the thrust controller, the injector or the combustion chamber?
SiobhanThat sounds like just like your last question.
RobGood god, yes, it does. Ok, we've got the regulation of what. I'm sorry.
MattRegulation of flow of propellants into the rocket engine. Propellants into the rocket engine, yep, fuel valve thrust controller, injector or combustion chamber oh god.
RobIt's going to be A or B. I'm going to lean towards A, the fuel valve. Please tell me that I'm still in this game. It's not A or B.
MattIt is. It is injector.
SiobhanI would have thought you would have gotten the injection one.
Boozey Quote and Outro
MattMost modern cars have a fuel injector bro. Yeah, but that doesn't mean he knows that that's the fucking rocket science thing he doesn't know about Jewish people engines.
SiobhanThere's a lot of things. There's a lot of things or geography.
MattHe doesn't know a lot about science books or the French. He took the.
SiobhanFrench I took what's a song? It is a song. It's not a French song, it's just a song.
ChristaWe need a French.
RobThis science books With that.
SiobhanWith the movies. No hold on. Look at that.
MattI'm going to tell a sip to Christophe.
RobFirst time guest. First time guest, first time winner Yay, stellar sip, I feel like Congratulations.
ChristaThank you all. I came to play and I came to win. That was amazing.
RobThat was the worst way to go out for me. I really wish to see what I've gotten a question right and just taken me out.
ChristaYeah, well, if I was in the fish I would have got it right. That's all I know.
SiobhanIt's all goes. Note to self don't doubt the fish. That's right Hashtag Don't doubt the fish, Don't doubt the fish.
