[00:00] Gentlemen, I think it's time to move to a test of skill country. [00:07] We're moving on to the next segment, the under Googleables, where we try to answer questions [00:17] that may or may not have answers. [00:31] We do an under Googleables. [00:33] That was the play of Super Excited. [00:35] You told us we had to. [00:37] You said we signed up for it. [00:40] In the end, it's going to be better and more true than Google can give you. [01:13] I don't have that much time. [01:14] We've got all the time in the world. [01:16] All right. [01:17] Ancient. [01:18] The Hanging Gardens. [01:19] Hanging Gardens. [01:20] Okay.

[01:32] No. [01:33] No. [01:34] Isn't the Athenian wall or the Greek wall one of them? [01:39] The sea wall? [01:41] The great now? [01:42] The great Mexican wall? [01:44] No. [01:45] No. [01:46] There's the... [01:47] Okay. [01:48] That's the modern one. [01:49] Okay. [01:50] Definitely the lighthouse. [01:51] Ooh. [01:52] Definitely the lighthouse. [01:53] Oh, yeah. [01:54] Yeah. [01:55] Yeah. [01:56] The lighthouse of Alexandria? [01:57] Is that where it is? [01:59] Yeah. [02:00] Correct. [02:01] Okay. [02:02] Something like that. [02:03] Yeah. [02:04] Wasn't there... [02:05] These are the only ones that are... [02:06] The screw thing? [02:07] Like the... [02:08] Or was that at the Hanging Gardens where they had like a reverse screw that like moved [02:13] the water? [02:14] The artesian well. [02:15] That's an artesian well. [02:16] Okay. [02:17] Okay. [02:18] I think that was at the gardens, but I'm not sure. [02:19] Okay. [02:20] So we got three. [02:21] It was the big guy that stood. [02:22] Like, right? [02:23] The big guy. [02:24] Ah. [02:25] What's that guy? [02:26] That crumbled. [02:27] Colossus. [02:28] Colossus. [02:29] The Colossus at Rhodes. [02:30] Sure. [02:31] Okay. [02:32] That's four. [02:33] Four or five. [02:34] Joey? [02:35] Mm. [02:36] Oh, so you've definitely got... [02:40] There's something with some Roman things right there. [02:42] Is the Great Wall of China one? [02:44] No. [02:45] That's the modern. [02:46] It seems like it should be. [02:47] That's part of it. [02:48] That is the modern. [02:49] The pyramid... [02:50] How is that modern? [02:51] These are the only ones that are currently still standing. [02:52] Right. [02:53] That's helpful. [02:54] Yes. [02:55] That is. [02:56] That's super helpful. [02:57] There's a couple of Roman colosseums, right? [02:58] Or temples. [02:59] I think there's just one colosseum. [03:01] Okay. [03:02] What about the Tower of Babel? [03:03] Well, I mean they... [03:04] Yeah. [03:05] That's from the Bible. [03:07] Wasn't there a tower though? [03:10] No. [03:11] The Tower of Babelon? [03:12] Tower of Babel? [03:13] Can we do better with the seven wonders of the modern world? [03:16] Okay. [03:17] So we got four. [03:18] Let's stick there. [03:20] There's definitely a temple of something and a colosseum of something. [03:25] Oh, it's a temple of doom. [03:27] So let's say yes. [03:29] So we got four for sure. [03:30] And the Oakland Colosseum, I think. [03:33] And the Tower of Sears. [03:36] Okay. [03:37] So what about the modern, the seven modern wonders of the world? [03:45] So it's the Great Wall. [03:47] Great Wall. [03:48] We got the Great Wall. [03:50] There's definitely like an Aztec or Mayan temple is one of them. [03:54] I don't know what the name of it is. [03:56] Is that like a ziggurat? [03:58] Yes. [03:59] It's a very large ziggurat. [04:00] Yeah. [04:01] Okay. [04:02] I could use a ziggurat about now, you know what I'm saying? [04:04] I thought you quit. [04:07] Yeah. [04:08] So, you know, but it would be really nice. [04:11] I'm sacrificing humans this morning. [04:14] So we got the Great Wall and some sort of Mayan temple. [04:19] Is the Christ Del Rio in Brazil? [04:21] Yes. [04:22] That is definitely one. [04:23] Sure. [04:24] For sure. [04:25] So that's three. [04:26] The Grand Canyon? [04:27] No. [04:28] Wait. [04:29] How is that a modern? [04:30] It's got to be a man-made thing. [04:31] Yeah. [04:32] Yeah. [04:33] That's a modern. [04:34] That can't be modern. [04:35] That's older than anything. [04:36] It was on the list. [04:37] What about vote on? [04:38] I don't know if it made it. [04:39] Eiffel Tower. [04:40] Did you make it? [04:43] No. [04:44] Maybe. [04:45] No. [04:46] I don't know. [04:47] I don't know. [04:48] Put that on our short list. [04:49] That's a short list. [04:50] I don't have anything better. [04:53] Oh, man. [04:54] There's got to be. [04:55] We know more modern, amazing things than this. [04:59] Big Ben. [05:00] I mean. [05:01] Is that a wonder of the world? [05:02] Look, ISS. [05:03] I'm pretty sure ISS is not on the list, but it should be. [05:08] Yeah. [05:09] The Hubble. [05:10] Thank you. [05:11] Anniversary gifts. [05:12] In India. [05:13] Wait. [05:14] Are you just cheating right now? [05:15] Is that what's going on? [05:16] What? [05:17] Oh. [05:18] Taj Mahal. [05:19] Yeah. [05:20] That Taj Mahal is definitely one. [05:21] Okay. [05:22] Yeah. [05:25] He said India. [05:26] I got that. [05:27] I got that one. [05:28] Four. [05:29] That's four. [05:30] So we can get four of each. [05:31] Dude, the whole point is not to go crazy. [05:32] We can get four of each. [05:34] Okay. [05:35] Anybody else? [05:36] Anybody got anything? [05:37] Could we do better than four of each? [05:39] Nope. [05:43] Okay. [05:44] You ready? [05:45] Yep. [05:46] Ready. [05:47] Okay. [05:48] Hold on, Wikipedia. [05:49] Seven wonders of the ancient world. [05:52] Great Pyramid of Giza. [05:54] Yes. [05:55] Hanging Gardens of Babylon. [05:57] Okay. [05:59] Colossus of Rhodes. [06:00] Yep. [06:01] Lighthouse of Alexandria. [06:02] Well done, team. [06:05] Temple of Artemis. [06:06] See, we said temple of something. [06:09] That is a temple of something. [06:10] It's true. [06:11] Sure. [06:12] Can you tell me who Artemis is, John? [06:13] I think he's the god of love. [06:16] How about the goddess of the hunt? [06:18] Okay. [06:20] There you go. [06:21] Is that Ares, who's the god of love? [06:24] That's war, bro, but kind of the same thing. [06:27] Aphrodite. [06:28] The way that I do it. [06:29] Okay, so you have the temple of Artemis, and then there's the statue of Zeus at Olympia. [06:36] I've never heard of that. [06:38] Okay. [06:39] Which was destroyed by Constantinople. [06:42] And then the mausoleum at Halicarnassus. [06:47] Yeah, that actually... [06:49] I would have never come up with that, but... [06:51] Who would make a mausoleum of something to wonder? [06:54] Who makes this list? [06:56] Who's in charge of the... [06:57] The peeps. [06:58] The peeps. [06:59] The peeps. [07:00] Das peeps. [07:01] Okay. [07:02] Are you ready for the modern world? [07:03] Modern world? [07:04] Yeah. [07:05] Okay. [07:06] The Great Pyramid of Giza gets honorary status. [07:08] No, that doesn't count. [07:09] That's not one of the seven, is it? [07:11] Yes. [07:12] No, it's not. [07:13] Okay, good. [07:14] It's not. [07:15] The Great Wall of China. [07:16] Yeah. [07:17] The Great Wall. [07:18] Sure. [07:19] The Colosseum. [07:20] Did we mention that? [07:21] Taj Mahal. [07:22] Wait. [07:23] Hold on, though. [07:24] The Colosseum? [07:25] How is that a modern wonder if the lighthouse at Alexander and Halicarnassus, like all these [07:30] other Roman things are ancient? [07:33] Because it still exists. [07:34] Mm. [07:35] Yeah. [07:36] But shouldn't it be by when it's built? [07:37] No, it's based upon if it's still standing when they make the list. [07:41] But you just told me that there was an ancient wonder that still exists. [07:46] Well, because the Colosseum was a part of the ancient seven wonders. [07:50] Right. [07:51] It was the pyramids. [07:52] Yeah. [07:53] That was the only one that still exists. [07:55] That's why it gets honorary status. [07:57] That's why it's honorary in the modern? [07:58] Yes. [07:59] Because it still exists. [08:00] I see. [08:01] And by the way, the Colosseum is still there, just for the record. [08:03] Well, that's why it's on the list. [08:06] That's why it's modern. [08:08] But they had to restore it to get it there because it was only half standing. [08:12] So I'm just saying I'm arguing with these rationales. [08:15] Okay. [08:16] Okay. [08:17] Simmerdow. [08:18] Okay. [08:19] So we got Great Wall of China, Colosseum, Taj Mahal, Christ the Redeemer, Petra in Georgia. [08:27] Don't even know what that is. [08:29] It's like a... [08:30] Oh, I know it. [08:31] Oh, those are the old things in the cliffs. [08:32] Mountain, basically. [08:33] Those big carvings, right? [08:34] It's pretty cool. [08:35] Like in Transformers. [08:36] Come on. [08:37] Chichen Itza. [08:38] That was the ziggurat I was thinking of, which is in Yucatan, Mexico. [08:43] Okay. [08:44] Machu Picchu. [08:45] No. [08:46] We should have come up with Machu Picchu. [08:48] So you have both of them. [08:49] Mica and Aztec. [08:50] If Petra makes it, why not Mount Rushmore? [08:52] Mm. [08:53] Because no one likes Americans. [08:54] Yeah. [08:55] Eiffel Tower and Mount Rushmore. [08:56] Everybody loves Jordanians. [08:57] Because that shit's old and it's still there. [09:03] Okay. [09:04] Wow. [09:05] So between the five of us, we could come up with eight of the possible 14 answers. [09:10] That's better than 50%. [09:11] There you go. [09:12] That's a better shooting average than your boy, Lavoie Allen. [09:14] Ooh. [09:15] Ooh. [09:16] Shots fired. [09:17] Cut to Lavoie Allen. [09:18] But not accurately. [09:19] What did I do except have a birthday and score 18 points?
