Episode 343
[CORRECTED] Why Won't Anyone Trade with the Giants?
Ben once again published the wrong file yesterday. Matthew & Bob are having an emergency meeting to discuss. In the meantime here's the actual episode we recorded!
It's like they don't like what we have or something. The brothers ponder the lack of trades and the news that it's not for a lack of trying. Then Matthew gives a quiz and accuses Ben of failing it. For the record here is Ben's recollection of how he did on the quiz:
#1: Correct, because even though I said the wrong answer I knew what the right answer was but didn't want to say it. I also get credit for getting question 1-B right. So at this point I had a score of 200%
#2: Wrong, but because I was at 200%, I'm still at %100.
#3: Correct. %150
#4: Correct. I'm not sure what the percentage is now, but I'm still acing this test.
#5: Wrong. No one gets this one right. Stupid question.
#6: Correct. I'm killing it.
#7: Correct. I'm a stud.
#8: Wrong. I don't want the listeners to feel bad, so I answer another incorrectly. Also, I didn't know the answer.
#9: Correct. We cheated on this one because Matthew thought I was doing poorly, because he doesn't listen.
#10: Correct.
#11: Correct.
#12: Wrong. Enrique Pequeno should have been the answer.
#13: Correct.
#14: Wrong.
