Speaker 3
Woodaway was my father. Call me. Call me. Nivels. I
Speaker 1
don't even know who buzz. Chris. Is it a beaver? No, it is not a beaver. Oh, that was that was my guess.
Speaker 2
Woodaway is not a beaver termite.
Speaker 1
It is a it is a termite. It is a really? Yes. A giant, giant termite. called the big blue bug. It's blue. Originally it was purple. I think when you look at a termite under a microscope, it has like a purplish, bluish, like indigo tint. Okay. The paint kind of just, you know, the sun kind of faded the purple way and just became blue and they just kind of ran with it. Is this
Speaker 3
a tongue -in -cheek statue?
Speaker 1
Is it like I mean, what is the significance? Just a huge mascot for what used to be called the New England Pest Control Company. So it's like a roadside attraction. It's a giant termite. That's blue. That's like on top of their building. They dress him up. I mean, I assume it's a him. Nivels Wood, Mr. Nivels Wood away. They dress him up for like for Christmas, for different occasions. He wore a mask during COVID to support frontline workers. So popular that the company New England Pest Control, they changed their name to Big Blue Bug Solutions after the mascot. If you ever rewatch Dumb and Dumber, a big blue bug. All right, next question. Found in central Italy, the world's largest fruiting body of what was sold for $61 ,000 at auction, weighing around four pounds. The
Speaker 3
world's largest fruiting body of what? Of
Speaker 1
what was sold at auction for $61 ,250. If
Speaker 2
I am fruiting body. That
Speaker 1
is the technical term. I mean, like, I'll tell you, it's not a fruit. OK.
Speaker 3
OK. OK. Colin. Is it a truffle?
Speaker 1
It is a truffle. The world's largest truffle is a fruiting body of the fungus variety. $61 ,000, wing around four
Speaker 3
pounds. You gave me the courage to press the buzzer by saying it's not a fruit, but I was just, I was kind of thinking like, what the heck would somebody pay? Like what food would somebody pay? Do you know, was it like bought by a restaurant to actually use in recipes or something? It was bought by someone in Taiwan. It's
Speaker 1
big. I mean, you don't need that much. You know what I mean? You really don't need that much. You don't need
Speaker 3
in my opinion, you don't need more than 10 or $12 ,000 worth of trouble at any one time.
Speaker 1
Question number three, the biggest Hollywood premiere is for what? 2015 film with 6,700 people in attendance. Hmm. Biggest Hollywood premiere in Hollywood. A little bit of a clarification. What theater can fit 6000 people. It is actually three separate theaters all within like a quarter mile stretch in Hollywood. So it's the Chinese theater, the Dolby theater and the Disney's El Capitan.
Speaker 1
with all three that closed down the block. Big
Speaker 3
fanfare. Oh my gosh, I'm trying to think what came out in 2015.
Speaker 2
I'm going to take a guess. Was it Avengers
Speaker 1
Incorrect. Jurassic
Speaker 1
was Star Wars Force Awakens. Oh, OK.
Speaker 1
Guinness World Record for Hollywood premiere. All right. My next question is kind of scratch. Ruined from from column segment. Here it is. Here's a question of the top five tallest statues. Currently, three of them are of what figure?
Speaker 1
answer is Buddha. But do we know what's number one? Does anybody know what's the tallest? Who is the tallest statue?
Speaker 2
Jesus? H Christ? I'm like, no, Jesus as well.
Speaker 1
It is. It is a Sardar Valibi Patel. I'm sorry if I pronounced it. Let me try again. Sardar Valibi Patel, one of the founders of modern India. Okay. Next question. What kind of animal is the world's largest living invertebrate?
Speaker 3
Oh, largest. And I have a hint if you need it. Invertebrate.
Speaker 3
No vertebrate. No vertebrate whatsoever. Yeah, I'm trying to think of it's like, you know, normal human scale or if I'm overlooking some monsters. It's
Speaker 1
bigger than a human.
Speaker 3
Oh, okay. Oh, all right.
Speaker 1
And it's not one of those things where it's like one really, really long worm that if you Yeah, okay. Okay. It's like an animal. OK.
Speaker 2
Yes. OK. It's the gelatinous cube. You're
Speaker 3
close. Oh, OK. All right. OK. Is it a huge jellyfish? Yeah, I was going to say like a big box jellyfish or something like that.
Speaker 1
It also holds the record for the world's largest eyeball. Oh, it the giant squid?
Speaker 1
is the giant squid of two answers for this. There's the giant squid, which is the longest. And there's also the colossal squid, which is the heaviest. They're close. But yeah, colossal squid also has the record for the biggest eyeball, which is the size of like a basketball. Folks, snakes don't creep me out that much. Spiders, big spiders don't really creep me up that much. I have a weird thing with with eyes like big eyes. So I remember like seeing I met like a like a police person who was on a horse. And then when I'm standing close to the horse, I was like, this horse's eyeball is so big. Like, I mean, I couldn't, I just couldn't cheat that it like freaked me out. And then so when I think about the giant squid and the basketball, I know thank you. Next question, we often joke about the, the largest ball of yarn or the largest ball of twine. Tell me, in what state could you find the actual world's largest ball of twine it's a u .s state and there are two answers and i can tell you why in a bit okay go for it illinois incorrect take a stab chris you got 149 chance now buddy what'd you say california
Speaker 1
is kansas or Minnesota. Why the two? One, the one in Kansas is the largest ball of twine. The one in Minnesota is by one person. So there's like in Kansas, it's like a community of people who
Speaker 3
worked on the ball.
Speaker 1
In Minnesota, it's one person who worked on the ball. take a look they're like they're not really balls they're kind of like a mound I mean gravity has has taken its toll as it does on all okay next question last question what country houses the world's largest aquarium where can you find the world's largest aquarium? Chris? Australia. Incorrect, but a very good guess. Good guess. I don't know. It is in China. The chan -pong aquarium. When you get asked like where's the largest or tallest, you know, this is your default answer is just to see China.
Speaker 3
I should have just said China.
Speaker 1
Do we know the America's largest aquarium? Is it Monterey Bay? It is Atlanta. It is. Also on the top largest aquarium list is the living seas with Nemo and friends from Disney World's Epcot. So I did some back of the napkin math. I'm reading this and I was like, wow, 12 .9 million gallons of water in these tanks. It's meaningless to me. I don't know how big that is. So I did back of the napkin math. Maybe someone will pipe up and be like, you're wrong. But let's say the average house, average American house, let's let's be generous. Let's say 2000 square feet, 10 feet high. So we're at 20,000 cubic feet is kind of about a house. Basically, this aquarium is if you filled 86 houses with water, all of the volume of 86 houses in water. I mean, this aquarium is so big, they have whale sharks.
