Matt

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. We have liftoff.

Rob

Welcome to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe.

Matt

Alright, welcome back to Matt and Friends Drink the Universe Today.

Rob

Think, think, think or drink.

Matt

Are you thinking or you drinking? We're going to be doing think or drink the drop game man.

Rob

It's a we're really. We're really. You guys are leaning planning, exploring new territory in season two here.

Matt

We might have fallen over at this point.

Christa

Yeah, you leaned so far. You leaned a little too far. You know what Go big or go home, it's fine.

The Fish

Hey, that's the way to go.

Matt

We are doing think or drink trivia today, and it's going to be Rocket Science. Ooh, interesting.

Siobhan

I'm scared.

Rob

Well you know, just because it's a science episode, I think we just need to hit the button now.

Siobhan

Do it. You just want to get it out of the way. Yeah, for the whole episode.

Rob

Yeah, Science, science, rocket, science, yeah.

Siobhan

Yeah.

Rob

We didn't make a new drop. That just says Rocket.

Christa

Science. I'm so surprised at it later.

The Fish

We're very Just add a little drop in this.

Christa

We're very drop-heavy this season, oh yeah.

Matt

Before we go any farther, let's go around the table. Here We'll introduce ourselves.

Rob

Okay, hi everybody, it's Rob back again.

Christa

Hi everyone. I'm Kristen, I'm new.

Siobhan

Hey, it's Siobhan. I'm not new, I'm here all the time.

The Fish

Hey, it's fish and I'm somewhere.

Rob

I bet you, you are fish.

Matt

Just swimming through the universe. Once again, we have the fish.

Christa

We have the fish In an undisclosed location.

Matt

So 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.

Rob

Yes, 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?

Siobhan

Yep, we'll remind people.

Matt

All 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.

Rob

They both look like politicians Is elementary, next to.

Siobhan

Alabama. I think it's elementary, but that's okay Elementary elementary, it's still a good name.

Christa

Play on words.

Matt

All right, okay, pronunciation game not strong.

Siobhan

All right, that's why I'm here. That is why I'm here.

Matt

So we're going to go ahead. We're opening up the Funk R&D Literacy in.

The Fish

America.

Matt

Here we go.

Siobhan

Oh, 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 Fish

All right, yeah, you guys have been drinking that one. I got my own back here.

Siobhan

Yeah, what do you have? What do you have?

The Fish

What do you have?

Rob

Well, 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.

Siobhan

Delicious, good call, it's very nice.

Matt

All right, here, bert, would you like?

The Fish

to go first.

Rob

I'll show you the fish is trying. What is fish doing? Oh, he's ported.

The Fish

There we go. There's the beer there.

Matt

It 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.

Christa

It's a decently sized iPad.

Rob

And, 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.

Matt

Yes, that's exactly what we're going to do. Okay, all right.

Rob

I 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.

Matt

Actually, let's do that first. What is your given degree background ology?

Rob

Oh, 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.

Christa

Very cool, literally same Me and Rob have the same job.

Rob

Oh yeah, Spoiler alert. I know Chris from work.

Christa

We work together.

Siobhan

Wow, 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.

Rob

So that's what I do, that's what she does.

Siobhan

I'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.

Rob

Librology there's a better word for that but I will say that maybe that library background is very good for you.

Siobhan

Actually, the library background that I have is a masters in science.

Rob

Well, there you have it, so we'll ask her all around.

Christa

We're going to ask her a question.

Matt

She's going to run up to the public library Dewey Decimal and answer and then come back in.

Siobhan

No, no, no no Library of Congress for the win. You don't do a decimal around here, though it is very easy.

The Fish

I have used it. Do we just do a decimal system? I have used it. I feel like it's an outdated system.

Christa

I feel like it's a little.

Siobhan

It'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.

Matt

All right, Fish. What do you got for us? Your degree background ology, Oceanography.

Siobhan

No, that's not.

Christa

If theology is a fish. That is the fish.

The Fish

You 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.

Christa

Sounds great. There's nothing glorious about most people's jobs. Okay, yeah, really.

Matt

They pay the bills Exactly, and my ology, yeah, that's about it.

Rob

Your ology is hostology. It is, it is also there you go.

Matt

My ology is psychology, which uniquely qualifies me to put up with Bert on a regular basis.

Rob

Hey, also known as Rob. I don't think we ever refer to me as Bert on the podcast we probably have.

Siobhan

At one point it's possible.

Matt

All right, are you ready?

Christa

Barely yes.

Matt

Here 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.

Siobhan

When I tell you astronomy, I would like to point out when I tell you I do that because of my TikTok algorithm thing.

Rob

It works. Well, I'm in an early hole here.

Siobhan

That is another joke. I should be, making, but I'm scared that I'm going to derail my brain.

Christa

Shivan is to keep the jokes to a minimum so that she doesn't move any of the information out of her brain.

Siobhan

It's a very complicated Tetris puzzle. In there there's a finite level of space in the brain right now, correct?

Matt

Crunch bowl, krista. What type of rocket is commonly used for launching communication satellites? Liquid field rockets, solid field rockets, hybrid rockets or ion rockets?

Christa

Geez. Um, that's a. I'm going to go with liquid.

Matt

You're correct, it is a liquid field rocket. Well, you may choose another lucky contestant to drink and lose a point.

Christa

Um, I'll choose fish, because he's technically next to me.

Rob

Fish, you're down a point, Sorry finish Not of your own doing.

The Fish

No, no, not at all, but More milk's out for you, so good, good. That's right.

Siobhan

Exactly.

Rob

This may be the shortest episode of trivia we ever do. Everybody's just giving those a. Everyone's gonna.

Siobhan

I don't know, she did really well. Hey man, what is not that one?

Rob

Everybody's got a 25% chance of getting these. That's right.

Siobhan

I like those odds hey.

Matt

Siobhan, what is the primary component of rocket fuel? Hydrogen oxygen, nitrogen or hydrogen peroxide? Now this one, I know.

Siobhan

I think it's hydrogen.

Matt

You are correct, it is hydrogen.

Christa

I thought I knew it but, I was like do I?

Rob

No, no, no, I saw your hands out there. What?

Siobhan

do we do? Matt, you're not playing right.

Matt

I can't just make you drink tea, no, no, well, we're gonna have to. I don't know For targeting the host, listen.

Siobhan

I just feel bad because Rob is already down, fish is already down.

Rob

Why are you feeling bad?

Siobhan

Because I don't. I know I'm sure Play the game.

Rob

Play 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

Christa

Someone 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.

Matt

The R&D is pretty good, I'm really enjoying this.

Siobhan

It is really good, right? This is the beer that.

Rob

I feel like I can have more than one of.

Siobhan

Yeah, definitely, and it's only 5%.

Rob

It's like a good sitting on the porch outside in the summer.

Christa

Yeah, I'm into it.

Matt

Okay, so Rob, no, no Fish.

Siobhan

It's fish.

Matt

Fish, you can't forget the fish.

The Fish

I'm sitting here, I'm drinking. What are you doing, guy?

Matt

I'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?

Rob

Before you read the answers, I just want you to know. Fish, he set me up for that question.

Siobhan

Yeah, he totally did. Which is actually. This is actually a good question.

Rob

So 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.

Siobhan

We believe in you fish. All right you got this, you got this. Hey, yeah and so.

The Fish

I might be finishing that. Well, we'll see Okay.

Matt

So 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.

Christa

Yeah, I don't want to know about all that stuff.

The Fish

All right, it's not the second one, all right. What was the third one?

Matt

Kepler's Third law, the equation is p squared equals a cubed, or anybody that understands what that means. I am not that person.

The Fish

Well, how do you get a cube?

Rob

No, it's p squared, of course. Yes, it equals a cubed, exactly.

Christa

He told you these things Come on, fish keep up. That's how math works.

Rob

Math E equals mc hammer. We talking about numbers.

Christa

Yo, I didn't know there was a math button.

Siobhan

But we're not. But that's okay.

Rob

Exactly, we talking about coefficients.

Christa

We're talking about algebra baby?

The Fish

Yes, so letters.

Christa

Letters with numbers. All right, I'll go with Kepler's law.

Matt

Oh, 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.

Rob

Dude, I didn't know you could say all those words.

Matt

Neither did I hey.

Siobhan

I'm impressed, I'm proud of math. Wow, really good description. I knew that one.

Rob

Okay.

Christa

I 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.

Siobhan

I mean yeah, right, Exactly.

Christa

Yeah, that was my thought process.

Rob

Shit be moving.

Christa

Shit be moving All right TM Rob yes.

Matt

What 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.

Rob

Sorry, can you read them? We gotta read it Really Come on, yeah, yeah, let's us Wow.

Matt

What 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.

Rob

My dear friend Siobhan.

Siobhan

Yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it.

Rob

Let'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 Fish

Chris and.

Rob

I at four, fish at three. And now spoiler alert.

The Fish

Wait, wait, wait. How did I get to three?

Rob

Because you got a question wrong and somebody made you drink.

The Fish

Oh, that sucks.

Rob

Sorry, equals, mc Hammer. We talked about numbers. Let me tell you.

Christa

We are going to wear that button out by the end of season two so funny.

Siobhan

That was a rocket burn.

Rob

OK, we're on. We're on to Chris, All right.

Matt

Krista.

Christa

Oh God, here we go.

Matt

Which of the following is a hypothetical entity that may be responsible for the acceleration of the expansion of the universe? Uranus?

Rob

What it's not your turn, Rob, oh sorry.

Matt

Dark matter, dark energy, neutrinos or gravitational waves, so which hypothetical energy may be responsible for the acceleration and expansion of the universe?

Christa

Those all sounded like Futurama references, right there.

Rob

Zodberg.

The Fish

What is the answer? I was going to say Sheldon was stuck in there, but you know.

Christa

God, I'm going to guess gravitational waves.

Matt

You're going to have to go ahead and take a drink.

Christa

The 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.

Rob

I know it's a real thing. That one I would have done. I didn't think that that would be responsible.

Christa

Like you, sure is a nice guy. So dark matter is composed, or?

Matt

hypothetically composed of particles that do not absorb, reflect or emit light, so they cannot be detected by observing electromagnetic radiation.

Rob

It's also the polar opposite of you, the dark matter.

Christa

Because it's the white, don't matter. No, because you're the light mat.

Rob

This is the dark matter. No, it's bad, it's bad.

Christa

That was bad. No, I was trying to go to my bed, bad joke.

Siobhan

Bad joke. Yep, do it, can you?

Rob

please confirm how much is left in there. I mean, you don't want it.

Siobhan

I'm going to finish it.

Rob

I'm going to finish it Okay.

Christa

So it's around half, maybe a little bit less than half.

Matt

Make better jokes, oh ouch.

Siobhan

Another burn, another rocket burn. We got to make one of those drops Rocket burn Right.

Christa

Very specific for this episode.

Matt

All 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?

Siobhan

The economy- Give me a choice. You better give me a free choice.

Matt

We have the Wilkinson microwave and probe.

Siobhan

I'm sorry, can you say that?

Matt

again the Planck satellite.

Siobhan

No, you have to give me the first choice again.

Rob

I didn't hear it, the Wilkinson probe, it's the.

Matt

WMAP, the Wilkinson microwave, Annie's trophy probe.

Siobhan

Okay.

Matt

The Planck satellite, the cosmic background explorer or the act.

Siobhan

This is some bullshit is all I have to say when I say every time he read the first choice, more words were added.

Christa

Yes, they did he literally there's so many variables.

Matt

I was very scared of the second word.

Christa

I 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?

Siobhan

I'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.

Rob

So 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 Fish

you see. Ain't no helping there, rob, I'm not helping anything he's not helping.

Siobhan

I think we're all in the same. What the hell is this boat? Yeah?

Rob

You can make this the double Take somebody down with you, that's true. Too early, Too early okay.

Siobhan

Oh my God, can you tell me the second one again?

Matt

The Planck satellite. Okay, so not that.

Siobhan

It'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.

Matt

That is correct.

Siobhan

Hell yeah.

Rob

Wow, exploring the backgrounds Cosmically, we were right.

Matt

C 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.

Siobhan

I 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.

Rob

Well, friend, you got that right. Not sad that I know rocket things. You need to assign a drink to somebody.

Siobhan

I'm a perfectionist is what I am.

Rob

You need to assign, assign blame.

Siobhan

Well, that chug didn't count against you, right?

Rob

No, not as a point.

Siobhan

So then, you get to, you need to open another beer.

Rob

Okay, 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.

Siobhan

Physics.

Rob

Ooh, hang on, there's a lot of suds.

Siobhan

He spilled over a little bit, so it's almost a party foul.

Matt

Uh-oh, his pants are in better shape than when he spilled a lot of bourbon on them in episode one of this season.

Rob

I do not like this.

Matt

Who not enjoyable? No, Uh-oh.

Rob

It is, it's very intense.

Siobhan

It is a double IPA.

Rob

Doesn't taste anything like an IPA to me. Oh, that's weird. The IV are hoppy or what.

Siobhan

The IBUs are really low on it actually.

Rob

It's not bitter, it's a it tastes like a barley wine.

Siobhan

Oh, that's, I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not gonna open that though.

Christa

Yeah, I might steal a sip from someone else, but I don't think it's gonna be me.

Rob

Fish. Tell me if I'm crazy here.

Christa

Let me take a little sip of the others.

Matt

While you're doing that, fish. What is the name of the first artificial satellite launched into orbit by the Soviet Union in 1957?

Rob

Oh, son of a bee. Are you kidding me, apollo? I have no idea Easy.

Matt

Apollo Explorer One, sputnik One or Vanguard.

The Fish

What was the first choice?

Matt

Apollo 11.

Siobhan

Buddy double up. It's an Apollo One for the record. Sputnik One or Vanguard.

Matt

You might wanna call for a double Rob's just chomping at the bit over here.

Siobhan

If you don't know this, please, there are a few of us that might. Yeah, oh.

Christa

I don't know.

Rob

Rob needs more help. Well, actually we're all at three other than you, so yeah that's so.

Siobhan

Don't call him me. Call him me, I'll help him yeah.

Matt

Fish, you're gonna double up.

The Fish

Oh yeah, why don't we double up? Sounds like a good idea.

Rob

Who you doubling with he's making it a double. Choose your poison. Who?

The Fish

Who's the one I don't see?

Christa

Oh, it's me, that's Krista.

The Fish

Hi. Oh yeah, the hand. Yes, I'll go with the hand.

Matt

You go with the hand.

Christa

It's me the hand, it's Sputnik. It's Sputnik One.

Matt

It is definitely Sputnik One. Yay, okay, you both wanna take a point back.

Siobhan

Is that what we do? I thought we were getting you both give it out to somebody else you can do either. Oh.

Matt

You can either recoup, you can either recoup a point.

Christa

Look 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.

Rob

Fish. Would you like the point back or would you like to dole out a drink?

Christa

I'll take the point back.

Rob

Okay.

Christa

Smart, well done, let's go. Great, great, great, great. So let me recap that round. Anytime, I knew that one.

Siobhan

Now.

Rob

I am in last place with three points Fish, Krista and Siobhan all have four after Fish and Krista recoup that point Word.

Christa

Let's go.

Rob

Here we go. All right, burt Rob, yes, rob Burt.

The Fish

Robert.

Rob

Robert, that's where it comes from everybody.

Space Junk

Christa

What? Oh my God, your name, holy crap.

Matt

Yesh Robert, what is the name of the rocket that carried Apollo 11 to the moon in 1969? Steve, steve Name.

Christa

Correct, that's crazy, no, hey oh wow, they was before.

Siobhan

they perfected all those names, they just went with Steve and Joe. Abort the Steve.

Matt

Carell, 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.

Rob

Say nothing more. It's the Saturn V.

Matt

Indeed, it is the Saturn V. Well done, he said. I don't need to give us all the choices, bro.

Christa

Take those out, wow. Confidence.

Siobhan

I would have known that too.

Rob

it's cool, that was at least part of the things from this point, Just because I like to give her heck Krista.

Siobhan

Heck.

Rob

Heck, Not cool, man Okay come, take Welcome to the group, drink that beer.

Matt

Okay, krista. How many of SpaceX's Starlink satellites are currently?

Christa

Currently. Currently. They're currently in here.

Siobhan

Oh.

Rob

I think it was a Star Wars question.

Christa

Coruscant, Coruscant. Final answer.

Rob

Coruscant game hen what?

Matt

how many Imperial Star Destroyers?

Siobhan

No, we already did that Trivia and I'm so sunken. It's Han Solo. It's Han.

Christa

Solo, it's Han Solo, it's always him.

Matt

How many of SpaceX's Starlink satellites are currently in orbit around the Earth? 2200, 3,800, 1,400, or 4,900?

Rob

Before 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.

Siobhan

I had no idea they send them up in multiples. Yeah, I didn't know that.

Rob

Yeah, I already know that I just gotta say that's a crazy any number is gonna be crazy to me, so true.

Siobhan

Did 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.

Matt

All right, I love your musk. You mean trust the musk.

Siobhan

Are we trusting the musk?

Christa

Not as far as I could throw.

The Fish

I know fair enough Same.

Christa

Okay, Sorry. Can you read the answers again for Supervillage Elon Musk.

Matt

Sure 2200, 3800, 1400, or 4900?.

Christa

Honestly, this is way higher than I thought it was gonna be. I'm gonna go with 2800.

Matt

So 2800 was not actually one of the answers.

Christa

What was the answer B? What are we doing?

Matt

2200. 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.

Siobhan

That'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.

Matt

Like 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?

Siobhan

Oh, that's legit, there's so many satellites in orbit around the earth.

Christa

Where did we live? Well, that's because when they shoot him up, they just don't bring him back down.

Siobhan

Exactly no, yeah, it's crazy, there's so much shit up there.

Christa

I did not realize that many were from SpaceX. That's crazy. You want like?

Matt

a dark question. What are you?

Christa

doing A dark question.

Siobhan

It's kind of a darker question. Space is dark. Is it a death one? Yeah, maybe I do.

Matt

What 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.

Siobhan

Guys, it's not the Challenger.

Matt

No.

Siobhan

It's earlier and I had that poor Kristen McCullough from New Hampshire that.

The Fish

I did my fifth grade book report on.

Siobhan

I had to talk all about her.

The Fish

I watched that in school.

Siobhan

I can't tell, wait, I can't tell if it's the Columbia or the Discovery.

Christa

Wait, 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?

Rob

Can I just say that is a cool piece of information Is that TikTok?

Siobhan

Is that from TikTok or that's from your brain? That's amazing. I know that for like 10 years. I love that.

Matt

I'm the one who I'm going to hell for this, but my head was just a plume of yellow feathers coming in.

Siobhan

No, it's so sad.

Rob

Big Bird is a phoenix.

Siobhan

That's good.

Christa

There's an alternate universe, somewhere where Big Bird grew up in front of a bunch of children.

Rob

So many feathers.

Siobhan

Right.

Rob

All right. 93, challenger no 86, I think.

Siobhan

It was 80s. Oh what 86. Yeah, 86. Yes, I was young.

Rob

Yes, 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 Fish

Don't worry.

Siobhan

Fish how old were you?

The Fish

Well, I was in high school at the time. Oh well then, you are old.

Christa

Challenger exploded 10 years before I was born. I was born in 1996.

Matt

Yeah, fish is going to punch me for this. I was one.

Siobhan

OK, well, I was three, so that's closer.

Matt

You are right, it is either Columbia or Discovery. Ok, thank you.

Siobhan

Thank you. A rocket boost, Listen get over it, just shut it.

The Fish

Just shut it. Hold on a moment.

Siobhan

I said it out loud, oh there, huh, oh F me, is it Columbia.

Rob

Yes, 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 Fish

Oh my gosh Shabon.

Siobhan

Everybody who knows things about rockets is mad at me right now.

Christa

But 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.

Rob

I love it.

Christa

It's nice.

Rob

So 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.

Siobhan

Yes, it is also his turn, oh man.

Rob

Oh wait, did I give him your drink? I said no, no, no, no Fish wait.

Siobhan

No, that's fine. Ok, what's he at? Because he got a point back.

Rob

Yeah, he did. Now he's back to three now.

Siobhan

OK, that's fine. Ok, fish, you're drinking. Sorry, sorry, dude, you're drinking and you're answering a question.

The Fish

Are you ready Fish? I got to open another beer.

Siobhan

Amazing.

Christa

Please hold.

Matt

Listen 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?

Christa

I'm going to say Newton's fourth law and you're like what I know? Oh my god.

Siobhan

That's pretty good, he gets all of these?

Matt

Is it Newton's first, second or third law, or Einstein's law?

The Fish

Well, considering that we already talked about Newton before and I have no idea which law we talked about then, that was the second.

Siobhan

Ok, so therefore it is not the second, he's not. He still has three other choices.

Matt

You want to chug again? No, you could.

The Fish

Ok, you're fine. Hey, I just poured another beer.

Rob

I did All right fish.

The Fish

Where are we going here? Could you read the question again, please?

Matt

Yep. 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 Fish

Yeah well, there's smoke coming out of my head right now.

Matt

That's where it's coming from. I can see it.

The Fish

I can see it, we'll go with Newton's first law.

Matt

Oh is Newton's third law. You were good on Newton's law.

Siobhan

Also is Einstein's a law.

Matt

No. Okay, I was like I said, I was like it's a theory.

Rob

Yeah, that's a theory of relativity. The theory of relativity. Right, yes, not law.

Siobhan

I took high school or kid science High school or kid Like I know what hypothesis and theories are okay.

Rob

Quick recap oh crap, siobhan. And the lead with four points still Nearly unscathed.

Siobhan

Say it, jinx.

Rob

We've got myself in second with three points. We've got Krista and Fish with two points.

Christa

Because suck Right. You know what?

Rob

And 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.

Matt

Does anybody have one point? No, okay, all right.

Siobhan

No one pointers.

Matt

Are you ready?

Siobhan

Are we making up rules again?

Matt

I'm a host, I can do whatever, oh OK.

The Fish

OK, go on, I'm ready. Go ahead. I thought he was looking in the books for the world.

Matt

Hit me. What is string theory?

Christa

Oh I, I think I might know this.

Matt

Rob's eyes inflated four sizes.

Siobhan

OK, go on Yep, give them choices.

Matt

A 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.

Siobhan

Oh, that Springs.

Rob

First answer I believe it is D.

Matt

You believe it is D.

Rob

It's either B or D, and I'm going to go with D.

Matt

Your 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?

Rob

Do you need assistance?

Christa

I feel like I might know it, but I'm going to?

Rob

OK, go ahead.

Christa

No, no, no. I'm going to call my double for Rob, because we're friends.

Matt

Can you make it in a double? Oh Joule.

Christa

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Can we agree upon?

The Fish

Joule, yeah, guys.

Matt

The immortal world is Indiana Jones. Last year you chose poorly. It is a.

Siobhan

Newton. Oh really yeah, kids, what?

Matt

Yes, it is a Newton of force.

Rob

Joule is a unit of work, guys. There's a lot, yes, but it is a Newton of force.

Siobhan

There's a lot of Also a delicious cookie. String theory of Newton in these questions.

Christa

Son of a, b.

Siobhan

I'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.

Rob

What is this? Look at this. We do science.

Christa

Yeah, I mean it was so real, but not physics. We don't do physics, yeah, we do chem.

Siobhan

It is quite a different science. We do chemistry, well crap everybody.

Rob

I'm so sorry Aw.

Siobhan

That was such a nice partnership show, though I know it was.

Rob

She tried to help me out.

Christa

You know what? I'm never trusting Rob, ever again.

Siobhan

Oh man Wow, another burn.

Matt

Rocking 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?

Siobhan

a supernova. Uh-huh.

Matt

You're a little salty over there. Wow, neutron star, a white dwarf, a red giant or a black hole?

Siobhan

I'm sorry. Can you read the question again?

Matt

I 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?

Siobhan

I think it's a black hole. I could be wrong, but I think it's a black hole. Go ahead.

Matt

You're going with black hole, I am. The correct answer is actually A neutron star.

Siobhan

Okay, see, you didn't know it either.

Matt

Rob, I thought it was a white dwarf.

Siobhan

Yes, me too, I thought it was between those two yeah kids Okay.

Rob

Well, you know what? This is the second one where I was very confident my astronomy teacher in college.

Siobhan

My astronomy teacher in college.

Christa

The new. Thing is?

Siobhan

Rob 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.

Christa

I 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.

Siobhan

There's a lot of physics, but it was still really cool.

Rob

All right, let's get fish on the board here. Here we go.

Matt

You 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 Fish

Wait, you had a wine tasting class in college.

Matt

Yeah, he did. Oh yeah. Oh, we can talk about that. I thought he was. No, I can talk about that. That class is awesome.

Christa

My 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.

Matt

Moment of silence for that beer. There it was. It was a bummer.

Siobhan

Fish. What's the Newton's law? No, I'm just kidding.

Matt

What is the?

Christa

name the guy. Yeah, who's the guy.

Matt

What 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?

Christa

Was this part of the plot of the Martian? I feel like this was like a huge yeah, it's a good movie.

Siobhan

Right, it's a good book, Mad this is really good stuff.

Christa

It's a good book. It's a huge contentious. I felt like I wanted to do this.

Siobhan

I had to do another stress.

Matt

Rogue Answer the Coriolis effect.

The Fish

Hmm, I'm going to go with that one.

Matt

You are correct, it is the choreo.

Siobhan

Nicely done.

Matt

Maybe, 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.

Christa

Neil, that's the coolest thing ever, neil, just in case you're not busy, or Bill.

Siobhan

Nye the science guy. Oh yeah, that's.

Matt

Bill Nye.

Siobhan

What the bow tie, I went to grass.

Matt

That's fine.

Siobhan

Bill Nye is awesome.

Rob

Bill Nye, the science guy, bill Nye. Bill Nye.

Siobhan

We used to watch that all the time.

The Fish

No, I want him to drink. That's a good choice.

Rob

Dang. 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.

Matt

Yeah, all right, as a benevolent host, you each get another point.

Siobhan

Why do you have like 80 more pages of questions that?

The Fish

you're like.

Rob

Listen here for eight hours here we are going to the next round. Everybody's tied it to. It's a brand new ball game.

Siobhan

Oh my god, it's anybody's game.

Rob

Now I will tell you that shivan and I both have our make it a doubles. We do.

Christa

Still in our pockets Been trying to see that Hold on Shavons waiting for the perfect moment.

Matt

Okay, 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?

Rob

I know one is not. It's not the asteroid belt, because everything beyond that is still orbiting the sun.

Matt

Give 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.

Siobhan

It is not the Kuiper belt, you're not working out or heliopause. Three choices, though, only right.

Rob

No, no, no, no, I eliminated the fourth.

Siobhan

That's right. Good call, good call, not right.

Rob

So 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 Fish

So I'm going to go with the other one, which is the heliopause.

Matt

It is the heliopause. Yeah, you know why.

Siobhan

You know why Helio is sun in Greek.

Matt

There you go.

Siobhan

You would call them big way, big brain. I would have helped you.

Rob

I mean I could have, but I felt like Also, there's only I listen.

Siobhan

I'm still holding on to these doubles. I know that's fair.

Matt

Fun 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.

Siobhan

So interesting. There you have it.

Rob

There'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.

Christa

Change my life. You just saw them in Iceland.

Siobhan

That's like the place to see the eastland, I know it's cool there, and I didn't see them when I was there.

Rob

You, were there the wrong time of year.

Siobhan

No, I wasn't. I was there in November, nerd, oh yeah, and.

Rob

I was only there for five days, though.

Siobhan

I 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 Fish

Right, and it's Chris's turn it is.

Matt

What 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?

Christa

Man.

Matt

SpaceX is crewed spacecraft Falcon Heavy, Dragon, Starship or Falcon nine. Crewed meaning people.

Siobhan

People and not kind of not the end or all spacecraft.

Christa

Yeah, 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.

Matt

The Falcon Heavy, the Dragon, the Starship or the Falcon nine.

Christa

I feel like I'm going to go with the Dragon.

Rob

It's one of the Falcons. That is correct. Oh, let's go.

Matt

So the actual, the actual name when I crafted the questions Time out. Time out no no, no, no, no, no Time out.

Rob

I never gave somebody a drink. Well, you can wait, okay.

Christa

You got to do a double drink. I'll get one and you give one.

Siobhan

Okay, I'm going to die.

Matt

Actual 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.

Christa

Did you use chat GPT for all of your questions?

Matt

Yes, I did and I verified them all up against Google to make sure that they were correct.

Siobhan

I was going to ask. If you fact checked, I would have helped fact check.

Christa

That's cool. I did not know that that's fun.

Matt

Well, 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.

Siobhan

And I'm like you knew, but why did you screw it up? Listen, I was coming for you, bro. I love drinking that.

Rob

Hey man, I'm just a trooper. He's rocketing through it, yeah.

Siobhan

I feel like big space pun. It's really cool that you used AI in like a science heavy trivia.

Christa

I'll make Siobhan drink, okay, sure.

Siobhan

Word. I got it. You're down to one.

Rob

I was due and because I've not given out a drink, I'm not going to be terrible.

Siobhan

Thank you, I appreciate it. I would like to be out of my own accord.

Matt

The 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?

Siobhan

Well, I think it's Jim Lovell.

Matt

It was Jim Lovell, yeah.

Siobhan

That's Tom Hanks right.

Rob

Yeah, tom Hanks.

Siobhan

Tell me everything he says is a stitch.

Christa

Tell me why when you said the captain of, I was for sure. My brain was like captain of the enterprise, obviously, oh clearly.

Siobhan

James T Kirk. I was like you're boy, james. Oh my God, james.

Rob

T Kirk's middle name Tiberius. I said Picard.

Siobhan

That's how you know I'm a next generation person. I mean, I don't hate the old original series.

Christa

I 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.

Siobhan

We should do a Trek trivia we should not be good, probably, but it would be fun to learn.

Rob

Wars man, not a Trekman.

The Fish

All.

Christa

I'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.

Rob

Strange New Worlds is excellent.

Matt

So I recommend it. All I'm thinking right now is Houston. We have a problem, oh yeah. That's all I can hear.

Rob

There's something on the wing.

Christa

I have to shut their shutter, so great we have no way to take Shatner.

Siobhan

Can you remind me of the scores, because I have a drink to give out.

Rob

You do, I have two, krista has two. You and fish both have one.

Siobhan

All right. Well, I'm going to give you, rob, a drink.

Rob

Me Rob. Yep, okay, me Rob.

Siobhan

You 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.

Matt

Fish. 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.

Christa

Gravitational yeah.

Matt

Thank you. Gravitational Got it. Is it centrifugal force, gravitational force, magnetic force or the Coriolis force?

Siobhan

It's centrifugal centrifugal, centrifugal. It's a fugal foreign.

Rob

Fugal horn.

Siobhan

It's centrifugal.

Rob

All right.

The Fish

I said you put the pronunciation on the wrong, the syllables.

Siobhan

Yes.

Matt

My infast. This was on the wrong, so label yes, all right.

The Fish

So can you read the answers again.

Matt

Yeah, centrificial force Gravitational.

Rob

Words drop from Shavon.

Siobhan

Yeah Words.

The Fish

We're talking about words.

Siobhan

The forest motherfucker. Yeah, that's right Dictionary. Wow, the ms, the words.

Christa

The words. There was an aerial.

Rob

The sky, oh yeah.

Matt

What 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 Fish

All right, well. Well, those other words sound kind of fancy, but I'm going with gravitational force. You are correct.

Christa

Yeah, 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.

Siobhan

He was like they're all talking, I'm going to look it up on Google.

Christa

They're all having an injury, not that I want to influence your decision fish, but Chris is the only one with two points.

Rob

The rest of us have one.

Christa

You can either take somebody out of the game or making an equal game going to the last round.

Siobhan

I helped you on the double round Matt has 87 more questions, so he'll cry a little.

The Fish

Yeah, you did. Okay, I'm going to call an audible. Oh, matt, here's it.

Matt

Okay, I'll drink.

Rob

Whoa he is penalized Fish, fish, fish, oh man, no, I love, that Fish is a maker.

Matt

I love it. I love it. Here's why, drinking the universe, we call that a quirk, quirk.

The Fish

Oh my God, you had to be great science referees.

Siobhan

I would science button for that, science button, quirk.

Rob

This is your first real science button button.

Matt

Let me enjoy this.

Rob

Science, science. I must say, even though I'm drinking a terrible beer, I'll even stellar sip that.

Siobhan

I poured you a better one. Steller sip.

Christa

I know I'm not getting pineapple on the nose. A little bit there's about eight flavors in this thing, Chavon.

Siobhan

that is delicious. So I brought sour from tripping animals.

Christa

May I guess the contents you can, there's so many, Rob I'm getting pineapple for sure.

Rob

Am I getting a guava?

Siobhan

There's another tropical fruit in there I'm getting pineapple for sure.

Rob

I'm getting pineapple for sure.

Siobhan

There's another tropical fruit in there.

Rob

Is it dragon fruit?

This is where the episode title come from...

Siobhan

No, it's not that cool. I would say passion fruit, passion fruit. We got one, two more fruits.

Rob

There's definitely some citrus in there as well. No, is that just the pineapple then?

Christa

I 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.

Rob

Is it a lactose as well?

Siobhan

There is milk sugar.

Rob

yes, 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.

Matt

No, I have no idea how this discussion started and that's where the look is coming from.

Siobhan

Well, I poured him a better beer than the garbage pile beer that he was drinking.

Rob

I'm drinking good beer now. I'm just trying to guess what was in it. Tossed chug and the name. What is that for?

Matt

I bought you good beer, drink your beer.

Siobhan

That'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.

Rob

I'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.

Matt

What 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?

Rob

You should go to a. I'm pretty sure I had a circularization burn when I was born.

Siobhan

Well, 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.

Rob

Well done, understandable. So, circularization burn what burn.

Matt

Injection burn, traverse burn or escape burn. If it's an injection burn, you gotta get some cream for that or a couple of pills.

Siobhan

That is the UTI, son, you get the cream.

Rob

Yeah, I'm very good.

Siobhan

Oh.

Rob

God, I don't know. I would like to make it a double. Oh, I would like to make it a double with Krista.

Christa

Jesus. What's the answers again? I know one is circularization.

Rob

I thought to check this terrible beard.

Christa

One is circularization one is escape one's injection. What's the other one?

Matt

Circularization, injection, transverse or escape burn.

Christa

I 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.

Rob

Entering a stable orbit around the celestial body.

Siobhan

Correct Is what he said.

Rob

So I don't know that circumcision burn is sounding a lot more.

The Fish

A sin.

Christa

No, I mean it's circular, right, the circular, the circular is the same.

Rob

How about A? How about A?

Christa

I'd be down with that. We're gonna go with A.

Matt

You're going with the Jewish. Burn the circular. Let's see Circumcision. Burn. No, no, no, no, it's an instantaneous burn.

Rob

It's the Christian burn the Jews wait until they're 13.

Siobhan

What? 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.

Rob

That's a brisk, it's a part of the bar mitzvah, isn't it? No, it is not no.

Siobhan

Are you?

Rob

kidding.

Christa

No, are you kidding? No, I don't know.

Siobhan

No, 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?

Rob

thought 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.

Christa

The bar mitzvah is where you go. Read from my whole body what the fuck.

Rob

I thought that the party was after they take the day.

Siobhan

It's when they become a man.

Rob

It's when they become a man. What, what do you think?

Christa

was the bar mitzvah. The female version. Yes, what did you think that was?

Siobhan

Fair question when they get their period?

Rob

Oh, it's when they become a woman.

Siobhan

That's actually. They bleed, that's OK. First of all, they both bleed, no.

Rob

The men bleed and the women bleed. The mitzvah is not for bleeding.

Siobhan

I'm so scared that you didn't know that. How do you not know?

Rob

that Time out before we continue this conversation. Did we get it right what we did?

Siobhan

You 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.

Rob

I'm taking that point.

Christa

I'm taking that point.

Siobhan

Oh. Wait, give me a point too, because I know that, my god, oh my god, I can't believe that shit.

The Fish

I think we should all get a point for Rob Rob you need to get into Jewish media a little more Dude.

Christa

I'm just watching. I know I just watched all the books. We need a history trivia.

Siobhan

Listen, I don't know anything Clearly here OK.

Matt

I just finished the last night for the Jewish community bro, I wish.

Christa

I could but Jesus Christ.

Matt

So 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.

Siobhan

There'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.

Matt

Well, just name it after.

Siobhan

I mean you might need to for a little bit.

Christa

I don't know what to tell you. We're going to circularize back.

Siobhan

We're going to circumcise.

Christa

Back here.

Rob

We're going to circumcise.

Matt

back to the beginning. I enjoy mitzvah as much as the next guy. Ok, but we need to move on to the next question.

Christa

Wait, did we make people drink for a thing?

Matt

Yeah, you're not doing it right?

Siobhan

No, we took back time to drink, we took points back.

Rob

We took points.

Christa

I saw that was so long ago. Oh, did you guys?

Siobhan

Well, wait what. All right, it's my turn, right. No, it's Krista's turn. No, she's not. Oh, no, no.

Rob

We doubled up with.

Siobhan

Rhaen, we doubled up so much has happened so much has happened, screaming.

Matt

OK, 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?

Christa

I think it's Artemis.

Matt

It is the Artemis, you are correct.

Rob

Yeah, that's cool, that's cool Nice. That's another. That's a current trivia.

Siobhan

That's another classical reference, yeah, mythology reference, if you want.

Rob

I'm glad they didn't name it Icarus, or this is a.

Christa

Huntress. Isn't it, yeah, isn't she yeah?

Rob

She's a constellation.

Christa

Diana.

Siobhan

Yes, mars is her brother.

Rob

Siobhan, I would just like to remind you that you still have your Megan a double.

Christa

You're the only one who has it left.

Rob

Good to know, Wait do.

The Fish

I get to make someone drink, is that?

Rob

my thing now. You do, yeah, you do.

Christa

Can I ask what the standings are? You can.

Siobhan

I forgot that was so long ago. You are in the lead with three. It was at least eight minutes.

Rob

I have two, siobhan and Fish. Both have one.

Christa

Do I be mean and knock one out, or do I knock you down to one?

Rob

I mean, you could do anything you want. Knock them down Because you are.

Siobhan

It would be ruthless to cut somebody out.

Christa

Rob helped me out with the circulation.

Siobhan

I got you that point back.

Rob

I knocked a different word. Come on girl.

Christa

I'm going to knock Siobhan out.

Siobhan

I'm sorry, siobhan, I feel like Siobhan has been dangerous, this whole game, that's fair.

Matt

Let's say Wow. I'm sorry.

Siobhan

Siobhan.

The Fish

That's.

Siobhan

OK.

Christa

This 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 Fish

The whole rest of the episode oh, don't worry, I was going to do that anyway, but it's cool.

Christa

Siobhan's turn is going to be replaced by jokes and or space bags.

Siobhan

I'm only bummed. Wait. Can I ask a question of the host right now?

Rob

Yeah, I would say you get your make-it-a-double as a life-saving question.

Siobhan

No, 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?

Matt

Yeah, sure, let's do that. Ok, can I just say that I love you.

Siobhan

Yeah, you can, but I'm giving it to Krista, no Yum.

Christa

I am. I am Siobhan. Thank you very much.

Siobhan

I 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.

Christa

It's because it's because we both said we hit a big bang.

Rob

I love you less.

Christa

I love you less.

Siobhan

That's OK, that's fine, I'll take it. I'll take it.

Matt

What 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?

Rob

I know this one as well, but he has no make-it-a-double.

Christa

Yeah, I know.

Rob

Fish thinks.

Christa

You got this fish. I believe in you.

The Fish

Well, that's good. Because I'm not sure I believe in myself, I'm going to send you telepathic waves.

Siobhan

No, I'm sending vibes. I can still do that. I can still do that.

Rob

Fun fact, the man's name is John Glenn. That helps you.

Christa

No, it is not. It's not the Russian one.

Siobhan

The man's name is Yuri Gagarin.

Matt

Stop helping, stop helping.

Christa

It was Russian was the first man in space.

Matt

Correct.

Christa

I hope that helps you face it.

The Fish

What are my choices again?

Matt

So the Vostok 1, Gemini 3, Apollo 11, or Sputnik 1? This?

Rob

is more shocking than the circumcision revelation that I've had.

Siobhan

We can tell you I don't think it is actually Not the first person in space.

Christa

The first person in space.

Siobhan

He's also the first actually John Glenn is the first man in orbit.

Christa

In orbit.

Siobhan

There you go, alan Shepard is the first man in space.

The Fish

Yuri Gagarin is the first man. Oh sorry.

Siobhan

Go ahead.

Rob

Let's let Fish answer his GD. Answer Fish, we've helped you immensely now.

The Fish

Hey, yes, I know you've knocked out two answers for me, so B and C are not correct, right?

Christa

Teamwork and Sputnik wasn't earlier answer, if that helps.

Siobhan

Right which it was not a manned mission.

Christa

I didn't say anything. I just said it was an earlier answer.

Siobhan

Oh, she's helping a lot actually, and then you help me. I suck, I'm second. Come on help me.

Rob

Somebody help this shit out of me in a moment. I'm not helping this shit out of you at all.

Matt

No, all right Fish. What do you got?

The Fish

I'm going to go with Gemini.

Matt

It is the Vostok one. No Goodbye.

Siobhan

Fish, sorry, fish Dude. Yeah, oh, we knew you so well.

Rob

It was great.

Siobhan

Sorry Fish, it's been wonderful. It's OK Fish, Now you can just make funny comments like me.

Rob

But here we are.

The Fish

I've been doing that the whole time. Exactly here we are.

Rob

Chris Krista in the lead with the make it a double from Siobhan in her pocket and she is at three, I am at two.

Siobhan

You guys still have so many points and it is your turn. It is my turn.

Rob

Are you going to hand select a question for me? You jackass oh.

Matt

I 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?

Christa

Physics.

Matt

Specific impulse, thrust to weight ratio, propellant efficiency or thrust efficiency.

Rob

I'm going to go with thrust efficiency because I'm a thruster. Let's go. Tmi, son of a bitch.

Matt

It is the specific impulse. Well, my impulse was wrong.

Rob

Damn.

Siobhan

Yeah.

Rob

I had nothing. Yeah, I'm down to one point, krista. Oh, hi, krista.

The Fish

When you're all here.

Rob

This could be it. This could be it. Oh wait, I was going to ask Wait.

Siobhan

can I ask a clarifying question?

Rob

Yes.

Siobhan

If she chooses to make it a double, can it only be an active player in the game.

Christa

I 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?

Rob

get somebody back into the game. Oh, I don't know, that's a lot of work.

Siobhan

I like being tired, I just a respawn.

Matt

You know what. You never know what happens in the universe. Her discretion.

Siobhan

OK, fair enough, Fair enough Fair enough.

The Fish

OK, Wow it's up to you, Krista.

Matt

What 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.

Christa

As a whole.

Matt

Astrophysics, cosmology, astrobiology or stellar evolution.

The Fish

Choose cosmology.

Christa

Oh thanks, fish, you know what I'm going to go with. Astrobiology.

Matt

It is cosmology.

The Fish

It is cosmology.

Matt

Fish fish fish.

Rob

Remember 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.

Matt

What 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?

Siobhan

That sounds like just like your last question.

Rob

Good god, yes, it does. Ok, we've got the regulation of what. I'm sorry.

Matt

Regulation of flow of propellants into the rocket engine. Propellants into the rocket engine, yep, fuel valve thrust controller, injector or combustion chamber oh god.

Rob

It'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.

Matt

It is. It is injector.

Siobhan

I would have thought you would have gotten the injection one.

Boozey Quote and Outro

Matt

Most 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.

Siobhan

There's a lot of things. There's a lot of things or geography.

Matt

He doesn't know a lot about science books or the French. He took the.

Siobhan

French I took what's a song? It is a song. It's not a French song, it's just a song.

Christa

We need a French.

Rob

Siobhan

Matt

I'm going to tell a sip to Christophe.

Rob

First time guest. First time guest, first time winner Yay, stellar sip, I feel like Congratulations.

Christa

Thank you all. I came to play and I came to win. That was amazing.

Rob

That 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.

Christa

Yeah, well, if I was in the fish I would have got it right. That's all I know.

Siobhan

It'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.

Matt

The fish swims through the universe.
