! Win! Brooks! Vox! Woo! Woo! Got a return player today named Tiana, who's played twice before, has never won. She's a Botox doctor who's hoping to see better days on this show, and if she doesn't, at least she hopes to see Brooks suck. Well, you know what? We won't know how she feels. Her face is just there. Rude. I'm kidding. It's a Botox joke, Jeff. It's frozen. Died. Everybody loves Botox. Yeah. Right? Do you just Botox the face, Tiana, or do you do the whole body? Oh, we do the whole body. The places you don't even want to talk about. Some people Botox below. Yeah. Yeah, they do. Really? Wait, do you get all the wrinkles out of anywhere? Yeah, well, it's used for other, there's other reasons for it. Oh, I wonder what it would look like smooth like that. I guess we're just going to have to be left wondering because it's time to get to the game. Brooks going to leave the studio. You know how it works, Tiana. You got 30 seconds on the clock to answer as many questions as possible. If you don't know when you can say pass, but you have to beat her outright if you want to win, are you ready? I'm ready. Okay, here we go. Your time starts now. On this day in 1889, what world famous landmark first opened to the public in Paris, France? The Eiffel Tower. Now horse and a donkey mate, what animal do they create? What actor plays Deadpool in the Marvel movies? Ryan Reynolds. Name the rock band that sings the famous song, Don't Stop Believing. Queen. What spice is the main flavoring? Oh, wait, wait, wait, journey, journey, journey. What spice is the main flavoring in a snickerdoodle cookie? Oh, peanut butter. You say peanut butter? Peanut butter. Okay. Peanut butter. Welcome back into the studio now and Tiana, this is exciting. It says on my screener that you're going to Paris for the first time in your life. I know. Yeah. Yeah, we're bringing my parents or they're bringing us. What are you most excited to see in Paris or eat? Oh, eat all the food and drink all the wine. Okay. If you do us a favor, will you eat a huge croissant? Just for all of us? I will. I will do it and I will tag you in my picture. Okay. And say it right. There you go. There you go. Good job. And I don't want to give you... She's getting kicked out of one bakery for that. I don't want to give you a ton of advice on where to go and what to do there, but I have heard that you say hello in France just by raising the middle finger. I know it's different than here, but trust me, it works. I'm just going to try not to do that. No, just try it at the airport right when you land and then just use it all throughout the city. They're going to love you. They're going to look upset and say, don't worry, I'm American. Yeah, I think they'll know. Yeah, they'll give you a pass. We have listeners in France. I'm sure they'll comment on our podcast and confirm Jeff's information. Yeah, totally. Comment your middle finger on the Brookings Jaffer podcast and we'll know that you love us. All right. Let's get to Brooke's turn. Brooke, you ready? I'm ready. Your time starts now. On this day in 1889, what world famous landmark first opened to the public in Paris, France? The Eiffel Tower. When a horse and a donkey mate, what animal do they create? What actor plays Deadpool in the Marvel movies? Hugh Jackman. Name the rock band that sings the famous song, Don't Stop Believing. Journey. What spice is the main flavoring in a snicker doodle cookie? Cinnamon. A grouping of what type of bird is known as a parliament? A parliament of doves. No owls. I think it's too late to change your answer on that, Brooke. We're going to go to the scoreboard to see how you both did with Jose. What we've got here is failure to communicate. Balanios. Tiana, you got three correct. We could not get to that fourth one that you were fighting for though, just so you know. Yes, we started the halfway through the next question. Brooke. I don't know. Four. I'm sorry, Tiana. I'm going to contest it. I'm contesting it. Even if you did get it right, it would still be a tie and a tie goes to the house. I know, I know. But I appreciate your… I don't want to make these so bad. I like that you're a fighter no matter what, Tiana. Let's go over the answers for everybody. On this day in 1889, the Eiffel Tower first opened to the public in Paris. Did you guys… Where did it go incidentally? You didn't plan that question around her. It just happened to be. Wow. It's meant that you go to Petty. And a horse and a donkey mate that creates a mule in the Marvel movies Deadpool is played by actor Ryan Reynolds. I knew that. The song Don't Stop Believing is sang by Journey and that's the one we couldn't give you the correct answer for because we had started the next question. The main spice in a Snickerdoodle cookie is cinnamon and the type of bird that's grouped together into a parliament is a group of owls. It wasn't enough to be Brooke today but the good news is just for playing, you get a pair of tickets to see Charlie Puth perform at WAMU Theatre on Sunday May 3rd. Nice. Amazing. Thank you. Absolutely. Before we go, have you taught yourself any French for your upcoming vacation? Merci beaucoup. Oh yeah. Say it like that. We're going to have to bleep that. Global Translate. Global Translate for Health. Tiana, it's a pleasure having you on. Enjoy Paris. Fondue sure. Fondue sure. That's hello. Anyway. Goodbye. We're going to play again same time tomorrow.
