Jason is also a triathlete; he's going to take the game the same way. He runs the marathon by running one mile 26 times, so today he's going to answer one question 15 times.

The past two years have been life changing for Jason; he got married and became a dad. Jason's wife, Carolyn, is in the audience.
I sure hope this show isn't strike three for you, but I'm not going to hold out hope....
Jason is also a triathlete; he's going to take the game the same way. He runs the marathon by running one mile 26 times, so today he's going to answer one question 15 times.
That sounds like a really idiotic philosphy, Jason. By the time you're running your 15th one mile race, the rest of the marathoners who focused on the whole 26 miles are relaxing in a lawn chair waiting for you to chug across the finish line so the race can finally be official. Likewise, you're not going to answer one question 15 times on this show, you're gonna be answering 15 different questions, about 10 of which you're probably going to stumble over....

These have got to be the most ridiculous distractors in the history of this show. Harry Carey (sic)??? Jim Henson??? Friggin' Liberace!?!?!? He might've had a pair of leather assless chaps, but not the jacket to go with it....

Two straight 8K questions about cable shows nobody watches! Then there was that ignorant buttpirate reality show question from yesterday. Can't Michael Davies just let the cable bill for the dungeon lapse?

A: 21st B: 22nd
C: 23rd D: 24th
PAF: Jason calls Dan, his wife's uncle.
There is no excuse for not knowing this. Amendments are taught in every American history and civics class in this country...
Dan: 21st sticks in my mind, but it's kind of an estimate. I would say I'm about 65% sure.
An estimate!?!?!? Who in the hell estimates Constitutional amendments? What are you, a damn mechanic!?!?!?
Jason: Okay. Thank you.
50/50 leaves A & D.
Thank God for the 21st Amendment, so I can drown my sorrows after watching yet another mind-numbing episode of this show...
Jason repeats the saying about trusting your first instincts. The 24th jumped out at him but the 21st jumped out at Uncle Dan. Jason says Uncle Dan knows his history, so he goes with 21st, final answer.
Uncle Dan may be pretty good at giving estimates, but he's not particularly fluent in history. And you, marathon man, are doomed to repeat the dreadful history of all the previous dumbasses on this show...
Carolyn is very excited in the audience. She trusted Uncle Dan on that one.
Carolyn probably cheers you on as you kill yourself running 26 different races while all your competitors are running one. Uncle Dan can't attend because he's too busy ripping off old ladies with his overestimates at his repair shop....

Mount Elbrus is the highest peak on what continent?

Jason walks with $16,000.
So much for the 10th leg of your race. This time you weren't taken down by a cramp, a pulled hamstring, or just not being able to breathe. This time, you had to quit the race because your brain got overheated. The next time anyone comes on this show and compares it to running a marathon, I'm going to get out my starter's pistol.... which I hope is still fully loaded....

$8K: I think it's advertising, but I'd ATA too.
$16K: I know Prohibition only lasted a few decades, so it couldn't be the 23rd or 24th Amendment. PAF or 50/50.
$25K: I'm sure Mont Blanc is the highest peak in Europe. Off I'd go with my $1K check.

Mad Men is the best show on TV (in my humble opinion). The writing is subtle and the acting excellent.MarleysGh0st wrote:

The past two years have been life changing for Jason; he got married and became a dad. Jason's wife, Carolyn, is in the audience.
I wonder how soon after the marriage he became a father.

Cable TV shows have become the new $8K movie question, it seems. I haven't watched the show but I recall the promotional stuff.

Mt. Elbrus is in the Caucasus Mountains, so technically it's in Europe (west of the Urals). During WWII there was a propaganda photo made of a group of German soldiers scaling the mountain and planting the swastika flag atop it. When Hitler learned of it he went into a rage and court-martialled the officer who ordered it.
Another nihil obstat® stack for me.
