Thank you for uploading these :)

Interesting factoid: The extra 385 yards (or .2 miles) in the modern marathon came about in 1908 at the Summer Olympics in London. That year, Queen Alexandra asked the organizing committee to extend it from 25 miles so that the winner could finish in front of the royal box at the stadium.

[@xjcrossx]

What a great little factoid. Thanks!

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

Another interesting factoid the marathon is 1 of about 30 events in mario and sonic at the Tokyo Olympics the divided ➗️ the events into 2 sections events with 3d character sprites like karate boxing and the javelin and events with 2d character sprites like the 1 I just mentioned and the long jump

[@yshfjfpariagtshv8600]

this is my favorite ing to watch on my new phone especially this host

[@alexanderwells4402]

That $125,000 question is tough there are 4 strings on a standard violin.

[@rogerscottcathey]

His friend sounded disgusted he didn't know who the Queen of Soul was.

[@rogerscottcathey]

groan . . . limerick stumps . . . aghhh

[@jimduggan8962]

Yea he thought "now the whole world knows I'm friends with this uncultured guy"

[@Solonas-gv8ib]

I wish I didn't know the answer to that. So cringe just like the Soul Music

[@davidbennett5894]

I would say Jerry Springer, because he became the mayor of Cincinnati, Ohio, and he also became famous in the year 1968.

[@jaycereid3625]

pro tip : you can watch movies on flixzone. I've been using them for watching loads of movies these days.

[@damonholden8572]

@Jayce Reid definitely, been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :)

[@davidbennett5894]

The play was called A Streetcar Named Desire.

[@xjcrossx]

Naked Desire*

[@davidbennett5894]

It is A Streetcar Named Desire.

[@donovansdenofgames4573]

They forgot to turn the lights down for Brent Austin's $125,000 question

[@nicksacco5041]

You would never think Jerry Springer if you saw his show

[@tarantala111]

Gawd, didn't know Walden Pond! Go back to school. He's not going to last long.

[@morganlaughlin6571]

That was a tough break for Brent on that $125,000 question. I agreed with whatever his phone-a-friend said about Jerry Springer, since Jerry was the mayor of Cincinnati one time.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Also, surprisingly, using 50/50 first didn't hurt him too much, as the audience had enough of a spread to convince him (I knew the answer thanks to my elementary art class).

[@josephyanuskiewicz5678]

I knew the Blue Danube waltz was Strauss before any of the choices popped up

[@GamingFanactic911]

@ 20:35 You mean *A Streetcar Naked Desire* LOL XD I also knew *The Blue Danube* by a landslide. That is such a great piece of classical music; easy for me. :)

[@danielhetue6968]

I would’ve picked Jerry Springer because of who he was as a politician.

[@jimduggan8962]

Such a terrible way to lose $32k by just making a blind guess. They were both just completely guessing. At least if he went with Springer it would be because he knew of his background as a politician.

[@danielhetue6968]

@Jim Duggan I agree

[@ThePeterDislikeShow]

Darrin's $64,000 question was so easy. Only one answer was an even number, and they always went in pairs.

[@gabrielc6252]

wow, good logic

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

That is the dumbest logic to use when playing this game.

[@dr-ozone]

You'd still have to know that no one walked on the moon more than once. It is common for astronauts to go to space multiple times.

[@RobertOrgRobert]

37:20 host was hinting not to go for it

[@nyjahbuddan7886]

I was born in this day!

[@isabellegiorgis2975]

the Blue Danube is the most famous waltz of Strauss junior is si famous but then again I would not know about that disc jokey he knew about...

[@matthaddock1817]

Johann: (Yo-haan), not (Joe-haan)

[@paullilko41]

Is episode 10 coming???

[@davidbennett5894]

Johann Strauss, Jr. composed The Blue Danube Waltz.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Somebody else said it better than I did, but it seems like Dan lucked his way into $32,000. Did it feel that way to anybody else?

[@zeaferjones1404]

Dan used his life lines perfectly. There is book smart and there is common sense smart. I've seen too many book smart people use the wrong life line and then having to use all the life lines on one question. He knew to ask the audience on a fairly easy poetry question, to ask his english major friend about a book he forgot about, and to use the 50/50 and get a little lucky on the one he sort of knew.

[@jimduggan8962]

Yea he was terrible. I kept laughing at how bad he was an then was like wait how the heck did he get to $32k.

[@jimduggan8962]

@@zeaferjones1404 "Common sense smart" isn't getting you anywhere on millionaire. You need book smarts. He got lucky because all his questions were so easy but he used all his lifelines. And almost 100% of contestants use ask the audience first, then phone a friend, and last 50/50 when its a straight guess. Occassionally the 50/50 is used at a different time if the players able to eliminate 2 wrong answers themselves.

[@zeaferjones1404]

@@jimduggan8962 This guy definitely had book smarts too. I feel like pop culture and history are the main ones you have to be good at. I'm not great at either of those but I have seen smart people miss on ones that I consider easy.

[@jimduggan8962]

@@zeaferjones1404 Yea sure he was the total package of book smarts and "common sense smarts" What are you his mother?

[@anakinsolaris8244]

What about the other episodes?

[@Wesley_C]

He looked like Kevin Malone 24:23

[@markheying2830]

For the talk show host Question I would have gone with either Jerry Springer or Jay Leno.

[@keithfeyen9173]

Do ya have the episode after this one?

[@amichels]

THO-RO

[@Solonas-gv8ib]

9:15 Keanu Reeves is that you ?

[@amycarroll7419]

I love you

[@markheying2830]

Does anybody have any idea who were the 12 men that have walked on the Moon?

[@jimduggan8962]

I can't name them but I knew 7 was a terrible guess between those 2.

[@davidbennett5894]

And Tennessee Williams wrote the play A Streetcar Named Desire.

[@ColTingle72]

If you don't know who the queen of soul is, don't play this game

[@FerintoshFarmsPhotography]

I guessed 7 at first too but felt pretty dumb after cause like there was only ever two people on the moon at one time so had to be even

[@amichels]

Those dudes blowing on their fingers...

[@davidbennett5894]

It is Walden Pond.

[@imal25]

AH! IT'S JERRY SPRINGIER.

[@jamesmitchell8922]

Where's the chick part?

[@chandlerb6728]

34:47

[@isabellegiorgis2975]

OMG, the whole world know Aretha as the queen of soul. Shame on this guy. I mean if you were to ask a black man who is called the king of rock n roll , he would not have to call a friend!!!!

[@jimduggan8962]

that's not exactly a perfect comparison. Elvis was way more popular than Aretha overall. Rock n Roll is a much wider and more popular genre overall. I'm also not sure how popular Soul music was with white people. This guy also probably just listened to The Beatles, Led Zepplin, classic rock type music. Aretha would've been more popular with his parents if anything.

[@davidbennett5894]

A writer named Henry David Thoreau moved to Walden Pond in search of a more simpleminded life.

[@davidbennett5894]

12 men have landed on the moon back in 1969.

[@rogerscottcathey]

1969-1972

[@xjcrossx]

Chlorophyll? More like Boreophyll.
