Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, it's your pal Dan, and I couldn't be
Speaker 1: more thrilled to introduce you to a quick sneak peek
Speaker 1: of a brand new, fun trivia ish show that we've
Speaker 1: been working on for some time now, Extra Nuggets. I
Speaker 1: co host Extra Nuggets with dear friend of the show,
Speaker 1: voice of the Chicago Bulls play by play announcer for
Speaker 1: Fox Sports, Adam Aman. And now instead of me going
Speaker 1: on and on about the show, here is your quick
Speaker 1: preview with everything you need to know. Adam, what do
Speaker 1: you know about historical terms that start with the letter?
Speaker 2: See? Dan? What do you know about script rewrites?
Speaker 1: I hope more than I think I do. What we're
Speaker 1: going to do here today is what we do on
Speaker 1: every episode, which is select random categories from Jeopardy episodes,
Speaker 1: ask each other the five clue questions, and then provide
Speaker 1: additional context to those answers or questions if you will,
Speaker 1: which can also be termed extra nuggets. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 1: For two hundred dollars. Canada's Hamilton River was renamed in
Speaker 1: nineteen sixty five to honor this British statesman, who is
Speaker 1: Charles Churchill. I was looking for the thing that I
Speaker 1: found to be fascinating is the town of Churchill is
Speaker 1: considered to be and is the self proclaimed polar bear
Speaker 1: capital of the world. And there are so many polar
Speaker 1: bears in Churchill. There is a polar bear jail. It's
Speaker 1: not a zoo. What it's not a place to euthanize
Speaker 1: polar bears. What happens is if there are rogue polar
Speaker 1: bears causing mischief and trouble and danger in the town,
Speaker 1: you call the line. They get picked up the polar bears,
Speaker 1: They get tranquilized, They get put into a cell in
Speaker 1: a repurposed military airplane hangar for thirty days, only fed
Speaker 1: water and snow, because polar bears can go along time
Speaker 1: without eating. Sure, and then they're tranked again, put out
Speaker 1: back away from the town to discourage them from returning,
Speaker 1: like there's no food in this town for you. You
Speaker 1: shouldn't come back. It's a timeout for wild polar bears.
Speaker 1: So for eight hundred Marlon Brando returned the script to
Speaker 1: this nineteen fifty four Ilia Kazan classic, unread the part
Speaker 1: nearly when to Frank Sinatra, I'm going to say it's
Speaker 1: on the waterfront.
Speaker 2: That is correct, Daniel could have been a contention. Well,
Speaker 2: this could have been a contender, absolutely so. The producer's
Speaker 2: name is Sam Spiegel. He guilt tripped Marlon Brando into
Speaker 2: taking the role by making the case that Elia Kazan
Speaker 2: had made Brando's career with a streetcar named Desire, obviously
Speaker 2: a very popular film as well, and he owed the
Speaker 2: director one the lie that you mentioned about. I could
Speaker 2: have been a contender in the taxi cab. I could
Speaker 2: have been good, Gonzenzo, Oh yeah, you played that was great?
Speaker 2: Thank you. Actually, that actually sounded really good in my head. Nice.
Speaker 2: Brando's contract stipulated that he was allowed to leave the
Speaker 2: set every day at four pm to attend sessions with
Speaker 2: his psychoanalyst, so as a result, he did not read
Speaker 2: the lines to Rod Steger when it came time to
Speaker 2: film the close ups during that famous taxi cab scene,
Speaker 2: Ilia Kazan the director did it instead. WHOA.
Speaker 1: I believe I could be wrong here. I believe Marlon
Speaker 1: Brando is very well known for just overall to your point,
Speaker 1: not learning his lines, yes, and essentially having his co
Speaker 1: stars were post its on their face with his lines.
Speaker 2: There's a quote from him that said, if you don't
Speaker 2: know what the words are, but you have a general
Speaker 2: idea of what they are, and then you look at
Speaker 2: the Q card and it gives you the feeling to
Speaker 2: the viewer, hopefully that the person is really searching for
Speaker 2: what they're gonna say, or that he doesn't know what
Speaker 2: to say. Logically, I can't argue that unfortunately. On that note,
Speaker 2: thank you to everybody for listening to Extra Nuggets. Thank
Speaker 2: you to Adam, thank you to Dan. I'm thanking myself
Speaker 2: for I don't know why, and I hope you learned
Speaker 2: three to five different things on this episode.
Speaker 1: We'll see you soon. All right, there's your first look
Speaker 1: at Extra Nuggets. The first episodes are ready for you
Speaker 1: to listen to right now on Verballers dot com, and
Speaker 1: we'd love for you to give the show a chance.
Speaker 1: So until next time, Peace,
