All right, we are back on a Thursday of all days. Holy crap, it has to be the seventh episode of Testing, Testing. Yeah, about two tests per episode, sometimes sometimes one i'll say this is what our 15th 15th quiz we've given one another we it's it's very it's getting quizzical in here you better believe nice nice yeah i feel smarter for it um well we'll see we will see because i have two tests two tests for you today one that you're at. Okay. And it's actually not even fair for me to give it to you. It's Mandarin for dummies. Not far off.

Not far off. Okay. Okay. And then another test that I expect you to ace. Wow. Basketball trivia for smarties. So I will give you your first quiz which is titled you win or you die

the hardest Game of Thrones quiz ever so this is a trivia about a show I've not seen it's not trivia it's not trivia because trivia is trivial

and this one is important and this is about the Iron Throne Okay. It's not trivia. It's a test. No. Because trivia is trivial. And this one is important. And this is about the Iron Throne. Okay? Yeah. If you want to rule the Seven Kingdoms, you better buckle up. Pow. Suit up. And let's fucking go.

You want to rule Westeros? You think you're fit to be the king? Who ended up being the king at the end of it? Who, like, is on the throne or whatever? At the end of the day, it was Bran. The sort of the guy in the wheelchair the wiener yeah yeah the wiener yeah um you know not because he's in a wheelchair just because he's a wiener separately from that yeah but in addition to that he's in a wheelchair yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah um he's he was a boring choice for the king. I'll say that.

Okay. Number one. What is the Iron Bank's representative, played by Mark Gatiss, called? So this is, of course, the representative for the Iron Bank who talks to Cersei about giving gold for the troops so she could go north to fight the Star. I said this is Game of Thrones trivia, and you said no and then the first question is not how is that not not trivia because it's not trivial the iron bank you need gold if you want to rule west rose war costs money and the lannisters their their their coppers are empty but they do pay their debts, but maybe the Iron Bank isn't really trusting them so much anymore. So who came to talk to Cersei?

Was it Corrin Halfhand? Was it Zorro Zondoxon? Was it Howard from the Halifax? Or was it Taicho Nestoris? I mean, it's got to be Taicho, right? Like, it doesn't make sense for it to be the other ones, I think. So, like, Taicho taicho i think was the one who ended up talking to them about the thing i really applaud the hell out of you you must have

heard the name and know and known that he was from bravos because it's a very bravosy name and yes the iron bank is located in bravos and yes taicho nestoris is correct but let's see if you can get number two who was responsible i got that one right and you were just sort of like disappointed in me it's like wow good work you were able to i said i was proud of you i said you deduced because you must have known that his his name was bravosi who was responsible for the creation of the Night King? The Lord of Light? The Children of the Forest? The Drowned God? Or the First Men?

The Light made the Night. Give me the Light Men. I'm sorry to tell you, it was of course the Children of the Forest, the first inhabitants of Westeros before the First Men. They had magic ways. They made the Night King. I believe it was to protect them, but it ended up going south, going the wrong way. Going south of the North Wall.

In the TV show, what was Hodor called before he got his tragic door-holding nickname? Door-holding nickname? He had a nickname for the fact that he holds a door and its name is Hodor? Before he got his tragic door-holding nickname. Door-holding nickname? He had a nickname for the fact that he holds a door, and its name is Hodor? Yeah. I mean, it's one of, I feel like it's kind of a polarizing thing in Game of Thrones, because I thought it was corny, and everyone else seemed to think it was amazing. Hodor holds a door.

Yeah. He always said Hodor, and it's kind of a shortened thing for the, he's like, I don't know, it's like vaguely time-travelling, like he knew in the future he was going to like lose his mind holding the door against the army of the undead. So yeah, you kind of see why he always knew that his name was Hodor. Yeah. Anyhow, was his first name Willis, Horus, Merace miras or gladys i hope it's not gladys just named after a lady named gladys an old woman uh what was the second one horace no that's too close to hodor although hodor is very close to hold

door so i guess anything is in play yeah What are the non-Horace, non-Gladys ones? Willis and Merus. Let's go Merus. I like Merus. I don't think Merus is a very northern name, and it is Willis. Ooh, I narrowed it down to two.

And I chose the wrong one. It's pretty close. Pretty good. Who was the leader of the Golden Company's sellswords when Dany ransacked King's Landing? What you talking about, Hodor? Would that be like a good Game of Thrones sort of inside joke? Because his real name is Willis. Yeah, that would be kind of cool. That would be a good title for our Game of Thrones talkback.

All right. What was the next one? Who was the leader of the Golden Company sellswords when Danny ransacked King's Landing? Wes Borland, Harry Strickland, Kiefer Sutherland, or Robert Westland? Alright, it cannot be Kiefer Sutherland.

There's no way. He exists in both universes. Wes Borland, isn't that the name of the guitarist or bassist from Limp Bizkit? I think it is Wes Borland, isn't that the name of the guitarist or bassist from Limp Bizkit? I think it is Wes Borland, yeah. So then that narrows it down to two. What are the two non-names that I've heard of?

Harry Strickland and Robert Westland. Robert just feels like a non-name in Game of Thrones. Like, hey, I'm Rob. Well, actually, I will tell you that the king in the beginning of where the TV show picks up is named Robert, Robert Baratheon. So give me Harry Strickland for the Wickland. That's kind of a co-pro there,

but yeah, that's correct. Dany's dragons are... Sorry, like another one that was right, and you were like, that's kind of a Co-pro, but yeah, correct I gave you that one You narrowed it down to two and I basically told you That Robert was wrong

You said Robert's Congratulations, you knew Wes Borland was in Limp Bizkit Yeah Yes, congratulations, I did know that Number five Danny's dragons are or were Called Drogon, Viserion, and... I assume you need a... I assume you need the multiple choice.

Of course. I don't remember the name of the dragons. I've seen like... Dougal, Vhagar, Rhaegalegal and Balerion I kind of like the last one well that is a dragon's name but it is not Dany's dragon's name that was the dragon of her

father or grandfather no great the original Aegon Argarian conquered Westeros on the back of Balerion the Black Dread I believe the correct dragon's name was Rhaegon Targaryen conquered Westeros on the back of Balerion, the Black Dread. I believe the correct dragon's name was Rhaegal, named after her brother who was murdered by Khal Drogo. Rhaegon Targaryen.

Okay. Number six. Ewan Rayon. Of 90. Ewan Rayon, who is not a character that's actually the name of someone who played a character called ramsey bolton was almost cast as which character the options are john snow gendry podrick pain or rob stark john snow i don't know this one because this is more of yeah you know behind the scenes production so let's yeah wow correct john snow that's right that's I don't know this one because this is more of a behind-the-scenes trivia. Yeah, wow.

Correct. Jon Snow. That's right. That's correct. Really good stuff. Thank you. Because you seem to want that attaboy every single time. I'm like four of seven here for a show I've seen six episodes of. That's kind of impressive.

Anyway, continue. So it's funny because there actually are 80 questions. This is the hardest Game of Thrones quiz ever. So my joke amount was very close. Okay. Yeah, no, we'll just go for it until I say what's over. Okay. Who said, I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me?

That is Liana Mormont, Sansa Stark. I don't plan on knitting by the fire while men fight for me. That is Liana Mormont, Sansa Stark, Sir Brienne of Tarth, or Olenna Tyrell. I remember in the first season, there's a little girl who learns how to fight. That is, yeah, that's Arya Stark. And that was not one ofria stark and that was not one of the options that was not one of the options but another option was the stark right yeah sansa sansa stark is that the one that marries king joffrey yes see she was kind of like a brat where she's like i just want to marry the king like she doesn't seem to be like a warrior at heart. Yeah. Well, I mean, you got to finish the, you know, finish the series.

And she absolutely is. She's a savage. But in the first season, you're right. She was the kind of person that was going to sit by the fire while men fought for her. So what were the other options? Lyanna Mormont. Lyanna? So, Rianne of Tarth. Or Olenna Tyrell. I don't know the other options liana mormont liana of tarth or olena tyrell i don't know the

other three so i'm gonna say uh brianna of tarth because that sounds vaguely familiar it's close it's actually liana mormont who is one of the best characters of the show who's this grizzled chap that's just a photo one so let's not yeah um thank you but but it is sir barriston sell me i'll give you one right answer all right which body part did kit harrington say was in severe pain when filming the dragon riding scenes in season eight oh his ass or his grundle because he was like trying to ride the dragon and he's like oh my taint slash pelvic hips are all fucked up from it so that is one of the options it is his right testicle the other ones are right shoulder right knee and right arm yeah give me his balls his balls correct yeah

that's correct that's right testicles um which uk drama had hannah, who played Gilly, and Joe Dempsey, who played Gendry, appear in together before Game of Thrones? Okay, so this isn't a Game of Thrones quiz anymore. This is just fucking, I'm skipping to the next question. IMDb trivia, okay. No, I'm not doing that. There's a question about whose bushy beard is this? We know that it's actually Robert Baratheon.

Of course. Beautiful braid. I can tell you guys that is Cerseisei lannister yep yep yep okay here we go which of these characters is dead jackan hygar nymeria the direwolf hot pie or edison tollett direwolf um you know there were i believe there are were six direwolves or five. It's one for each of the Stark children and they are not all dead. Do you want to

cast your bet that Nymeria is dead? Yes, I do. Okay, well, that's Arya's and she's not. Dolorous Ed. Edison Tollett is the one that died. He took the black. I believe he died in hmm he lived maybe right up until the end when he died against the the night king all right what is

the name of the giant dragon slaying crossbow that failed to protect king's landing millipede the you're making me very cross bow scorpion or mantis millipede you're making me cross like you're making me cross bow feels like a really weird joke to call oh this is the name of a weapon yeah but keep in mind this is the same writers that came up with hodor that's true and the last one is just sort of like a fantasy sounding thing what was it mantis yeah i'll go mantis okay i don't know this answer oh oh but it was scorpion that's what i would have guessed by the by fuck um all All right. I'm just going to scroll through and see if I can find fun ones. Okay. I mean, they're all fun to me. Yeah.

What was the Red Keep's chief mouser called? Sir Pounce, Maester Paw, Lady Claws, first of her name, Breaker of Mice, Protector of the Realm, or the Bastard. Mouser, that's,'s i think what they called cats so there was a cat in the castle that killed mice and they named that cat sir pounce maester paw lady claws or the bastard i hope it's lady claws that's kind of a cool name i believe it's sir pounce and it is sir pounce which sir pounce sir pounce which relative did euron grayjoy murder to take the salt throne of the iron islands what is dead may never die but rise again harder and stronger yeah i don't know i haven't um i haven't seen the

show so i'm not really i're on Greyjoy murdered to take the salt throne did he murder his brother his uncle his nephew or his cousin uh cousin doesn't feel

like a big deal brother might be too big of a deal so what are the other ones his uncle it's pretty good nephew nephew seems kind of

fucked up I'll go uncle I think it's uncle. It's his brother. Wow. Wow. Yeah. I guess they fucking go there.

They go there. What is the name? In the first episode, a brother and a sister are just sort of fucking each other. So I guess anything is possible. Totally. Yeah. Except for you're making me very crossbow. That would be a bridge too far.

That would be hacky. It would be tacky. It would be deaf and dumb. What is the name of Arya's sword? Ice, pointy, fang, or needle? Oh, I might have seen this, right? Because this is when she's sort of getting, that guy who's like training her gives her a sword.

You should know this. And yet I don't remember what is it ice needle ice pointy fang or needle pointy there's no way this is your sword it's called pointy when the when she gets the sword from john snow he says do you know how this works and she says stick them with the pointy end. Oh, I see. So I think it harkens back to that. Yes, but I don't think it's called pointy. Good, because it's not. Let's eliminate pointy.

So that makes it needle, ice, or fang. I wish any of these sounded familiar. Needle? Why don't you try to use some, there you go. That's correct, because the context is that oh i was gonna say it needle doesn't sound right so maybe let's go fang could be kind of cool actually like i already put in the answer all right all right that's another thing from season one so it's another another thing you should know um who was ned stark's predecessor as robert baratheon's hand you

remember hand of the king that guy died they make the trip to king's landing and robert asks ned to become the hand of the king that's why they go to king's landing and who is ned replacing the names are jamie lannister john aaron tywin lannister, and Sir Jorah Mormont. Jorah Mormont sounds familiar because of Ja Morant, but I think he's not a character that dies early on. Tyron Lannister is Peter Dinklage, right? No, that's Tyrion. And what did you say, Tyron?

Tywin. Tywin and Tyrion?rian okay so that one's back in and then the first one was who jamie lannister no no he didn't die that's that's the good looking guy yeah so what was the second one john aaron maybe him because I don't remember that name at all. Good. That's correct. That's who died. Yeah. That's right. Okay. Hey, I'm John Aaron. How did that guy die?

John Aaron, I believe he was murdered. I think Cersei had him murdered. He was killed because he knew the secret that Jaime and Cersei were fucking and that Robert Baratheon's children were actually inbred little freaks. And, yeah, so he was going to tell, then he was killed. Damn, Cersei? Yeah, nice. Oh, Cersei? Nice. Very nice.

Cersei? I didn't. Cersei? Very nice. Cersei? I didn't know that. I get it. Are you being Cersei right now? Cersei? I'm being very... Yes. And let's see if you can get the Lannis Anster.

Lannister. The Anister. The Jennifer Anister. All right. I'm trying to find something from season one that you'll know okay um oh there we go what were the first words king robert said to ned stark in episode one of season one so the first episode yes the first words king robert said are you've got fat you've got male you look old your hair looks terrible you look old or you got fat let's go i believe oh god is it one of those two i don't think so oh really i was gonna guess you got fat what is the what is the actual answer you've got fat is i think there's a small chance

that it could be but i believe that he says you've not changed and then ned responds you've got fat i see so no never mind it's it is you've got fat that's the first thing wow i got it right and you got it wrong. That's crazy. Call me Bran, because I just ate you like granola. You know what? That's actually perfect. That's a perfect place to end it. Well, Cersei? Cersei. Let's take our break.

We will come back. I will give you the quiz that you're going to fucking own.

is quite apropos so the 23rd of august is his birthday the 24th 8 24 is quote unquote mamba day in los angeles because those were his two jersey numbers. So I have Kobe on the brain, RIP, rest in paradise. Let's see how much I know about my favorite basketball player of all time, 20-year Laker veteran Kobe Bean Bryant. Okay. That's right. Put on that Mamba mentality. That's right.

I think that some of these are going to be very easy because even I know them. All right. Do you know the name of the superstar who came to join Kobe in Los Angeles during his rookie season Shaq so you don't need let's see if you can do this all that's correct yeah um 1996 do this with without any fucking uh you know uh multiple choice wow okay all right hard mode expert edition yeah identify the nickname Kobe went by throughout his NBA career we already know you know, multiple choice. Wow. Okay. All right. Hard mode. Expert edition. Yeah. Identify the nickname Kobe went by throughout his NBA career. We already know that we were just saying it. Yeah, that one's the Black Mamba, which he actually gave to himself because he modeled

his game after a poisonous snake. That's fucking awesome. There you go. We also know this one. What number did Kobe wear for the first half of his career? Yeah, it was eight at first, and then he changed it to 24 10 years in. Why eight? And why 24? 24, I guess, is some sort of secret.

People kind of think it's like dedicated to, you know, working 24-7. Eight, I don't know, maybe his dad wore it or something. I'm not sure why he chose eight. Interesting. Who was the head coach of the Lakers during all five of Kobe's championship runs? Phil Jackson. Correct. Yeah.

It was Del Harris at first, then they fired him because he wasn't getting to the finals. Brought in Phil Jackson and his first three seasons won a championship with the Lakers. Phil Jackson ended up leaving in 05. Rudy Tomjanovich comes in, doesn't last very long, a rotating cast and crew. Phil Jackson decides, you know what, let's come back. Comes back and wins two more titles with Kobe. Number 10 and 11 for Phil Jackson, number four and five for Kobe Bryant. Wow. That really, actually, that kind of staying power reminds me of the Starks in the North.

Next question. Okay, sure. Which, and this one's too easy, which NBA team drafted Kobe? I mean, he's stayed on the Lakers the entire time. Yes, but he was drafted by the Charlotte Hornets at 13. The Lakers traded Vlade Divac for him on draft night. Whoa. And I thought that was too easy that's right good it was too easy but not for the reasons you thought next question bitch yeah and actually i prefer you not to editorialize just the fact so you would excel so you excel. So don't do good and then fucking kick me.

You know, like don't, don't. All right. A star dating all the way back to high school. Where did Kobe Bryant go to play college basketball? He did not play college basketball, though he was considering playing for Duke under Coach K. He went straight to the pros. That is correct. Kobe put on a show in his last NBA game by scoring how many points to end his career on a high note? 60 against the Jazz.

Happened just four or five years ago. Yeah, we watched it together. I remember that. Did we watch it in that bar? Yes, the bar in West Hollywood. The parlor, I think. Kobe sits in second place for most points scored in a game with 81. Which team did he rack

up those points against? The Raptors. Correct. Wow. Are you familiar with the all-star the Lakers paired with Kobe in 2007 to help him win another championship? I am. His name is Pau Gasol. We traded his brother, Marc Gasol,

Javaris Crittenton, and two first round picks for him. Wow. Yeah. Imagine that, getting traded for your brother. And then Marc Gasol ended up kicking butt for the Grizzlies. And the Lakers signed Marc Gasol last year, full circle. It's wild. Including his first title in 2000, how many championships did Kobe win in a row

playing besides Shaq? They won three in a row. Then they had a falling out. The Lakers ended up trading Shaq to Miami for Brian Grant, Lamar Odom, and Karan Butler. Two of those three left shortly thereafter, and the Lakers added Pau Gasol in 2007 to the Lamar Odom-Kobe Bryant combo, and we want two more after that. On December 14th, 2014, who did Kobe Bryant pass on the all-time leading scorer list? Michael Jordan. Jesus, that one was hard. For who?

Next question. And I actually, I really thank you not to editorialize. That one isn't hard, and that one's not a trick question. Because if you know your shit, you get it right. All right. And actually, let's go back to the game of throws. I'm just administering the quiz. You don't have to be mean to me.

What did I do? I found the quiz. Are you familiar with the team Kobe defeated in the NBA finals to win his first championship? What do you think, man? I imagine you are. You think I'm familiar with the Indiana Pacers in 2000? Maybe you want me to go to the next year, the Sixers in 01.

He beat the Nets in 03. He beat the fucking Magic in 09. And then finally the Celtics in 2010. What? Yeah, yeah. It's Indiana for the first time. Are you familiar with the player who Kobe shared the All-Star Game MVP with

in 2009? Damn. I don't really do All-Star stuff. Thankfully, I know it's Shaquille O'Neal. That's right. They ended up teaming up together and winning the MVP together in 2009. Kobe ended up saying keep the trophy because he wanted to give it to Shaquille O'Neal's son. So yeah, I am

familiar. And actually, I really, really, really want to editorialize it. I'm not editorializing. Of course. After posting a 17-25 record to start the 2012 to 2013 season, Bryant went on terror to help the Lakers make the

NBA playoffs, but he suffered which devastating injury right before the playoffs began that was him rupturing his Achilles against the Warriors he made a move against Klay Thompson they ended up making the playoffs but getting swept by the Spurs select the team that Kobe Bryant defeated in the 2009 NBA finals to finally take home a trophy without Shaq I already went over this so I'm sure you know it too the Heat Orlando Magic he never played the Heat in the finals of course I know I just knew it was a Florida thing okay how many spies did the spider Varys have running around King's Landing? That one's also part of the Kobe quiz.

He was a huge Game of Thrones fan. Can you identify the honor Kobe received in 2008, the only time he earned it in his career? That would be the NBA MVP trophy. That's right. He only won it one year. After leaving the NBA, what accomplishment kobe achieve outside the field of basketball he won an oscar if you can believe it he was well on his way to winning an mvp got that's an nba mvp an ambi a grammy an oscar and a tony tony yes yeah no he's very talented i don't know if he's

gonna get a tony he was gonna to get the MVP got. He was. Under which head coach did Kobe become more of a facilitator? This one's sort of an opinion question, but I guess I'll say Phil Jackson again, more of a facilitator. Phil Jackson's actually not an option. Mike D'Antoni later on in his career? That is an option. All right, let's go Mike D'Antoni, sure.

Correct. Correct, correct. I resent the subjectivity of that question, but ultimately you had to ask it. You were hoping it tripped me up. It did for a second. And then we move on. It's an open anything. With his body breaking down,

when did Kobe finally retire from the NBA? 2016? That's correct. That's correct. Could have gone either way. A perennial All-Star when he got going. When did Kobe make his first All-Star game? It was the 97-98 season.

Correct. Kobe was already earning honors and awards during his rookie season. What did he accomplish in his first season in the league? Slam dunk title. Correct. Do you know where Kobe won an Olympic gold medal in 2008 with the U.S. men's national basketball team?

China. Beijing? Let's go Beijing. Yeah, 2012 was London. 2008 was Beijing. Capturing his second NBA title, it took Kobe and the Lakers how many games to defeat the 76ers in 2001?

Five. Game one, they lost at home. It was the Iversons stepping over Ty Lue. The Lakers ended up winning game two in LA and then three in a row in Philadelphia. And I really, really, really think you should stop fucking muttering shit under your breath. I'm not.

What do you think this is? It's a fucking, it's a podcast. We're supposed to chat with each other. Yeah, for sure. I honestly thought we forgot I forgot we were recording what was the total number of 50 plus

point games Kobe notched during the 2006-2007 season wow holy shit this is one I might actually not know 50 point games how many did he notch I can give you the multiple This is one I might actually not know. 50-point games. 50-point games. How many did he notch?

I can give you the multiple choice. Give me the multiple choice. Four, six, eight, or ten. What season? 2005, six? No, six, seven. It's probably either eight or ten do you know the answer yeah i know the answer oh no i i just think i know the answer i think i

have a guess i haven't clicked it yet i'll say 10 just because it's like he did have a lot but i don't know specifically how much it was. And you were right, 10. And that was not what my guess was going to be. So good stuff. Yeah. That was the year Shaq left and he's like, I'm just going to score a shit ton.

And he went on some sort of insane streak, but I don't remember the exact details. That's awesome. When did Kobe first wear number 24 after changing from his previous number? Was it 2006-7? Maybe that year. Maybe 2007-8. 2006-7 is the latest option they give.

So I'll go that one. Oh, wait. Okay, great. I thought it was the year before that. What year did Kobe play in his last nba playoff game oh wow that's interesting uh because they made the playoffs but like you said he got injured and didn't in 2013 14 uh is it 2013 let Let's see. It's 2012. End with that. End with that.

No, yeah, of course. I don't know. It was the 20-fucking-13. I don't know my guy, quite frankly. I don't have that. I don't have the the Lakers that closely. I don't have the Mamba mentality in me. Thank you to DraftKings for sponsoring this episode of our show.

Hey-o, DraftKings. The NFL is back. That's correct. And the best part of football season is checking out the post-game stats. I want to know which wideout scored more than two tutties which qb threw for less than 350 yards and if you think you can pick who will do what before the kickoff then you should play pick six from draft kings which is an official daily fantasy partner of the nfl wow so if you like watching football and it sounds like you do i do yeah i do a lot this this can really heighten your joy.

So if you like football as much as me, which is not likely likely because i do know a lot like do you know what a nickelback uh does in a cover two defense or like do you know what a play action passes like these are like some advanced things that i know that you wouldn't i basically know run and hail mary you actually know both of those yeah running is when you run and then hail mary is when you chuck it right damn i think you should download the draft kings pick six out select between two and six players for you to put some money on you select between two and six players and choose if they'll have more or less of a stat it's that simple and for all first time pick six players check this out new customers play five dollars on your first pick set and get $50 in Pick 6 credits.

Wow. I do not remember that. Is it? I'll give you the numbers. Okay. 28, 32, 37, or 44. Again, it's probably one of the high two. I'll go 37.

37 is correct. They get a little harder now, actually. All right, let's keep going going let's see what happens specific points scored in an all-star game level of obscurity okay in his 20-year career how many all defensive teams did kobe make 11 no 11s okay 11 is not an option. There are 8, 10, 12, and 14. 8, 10, 12, or 14. I'll go 12 then. Seems reasonable. Correct.

Which former legend from the Lakers did Kobe pass in 2010 to become the all-time leading scorer for the franchise? He passed a Laker legend. Oh, to become the leading scorer for the Lakers? Yeah. In whatakers? Yeah. In what year? 2010. Tell me if you want the... The options will be like Elgin, Baylor, Jerry West, Wilt Chamberlain,

and Kareem or something. Very close. There's one other one that's not Kareem, not Jerry West, Elgin Baylor. Sorry, not Wilt Chamberlain. You got the other three. What was the other one, Magic? That's right, Magic.

Magic was on the Lakers for a while, but he was more of an assist guy. I think it might have been Jerry West. I'll say Jerry West. That's correct. These are getting harder. I like it. In the 2005 to 2006 NBA season, Kobe averaged 35.4 points per game to take home his first scoring title. Who did he beat out for scoring that title?

Wow. Okay, that's a great question. Who was number two in scoring in 2005-2006? Yeah. Interesting. a great question it's who was number two in scoring in 2005 2006 yeah um interesting is iverson one of those up not not that i'm saying iverson is the answer but is that iverson is one of the options okay it's one of the three uh is lebron one of the options no um duane wade one of the options yes so i've probably named like number two three and four and i just can't remember who finished second 2005 let's go lebron i'm sure he averaged over 30 by his third or fourth year okay so you don't

want to guess paul pierced i do not i would never guess a celtic then i'm hoping it's not him and it is lebron correct how many games did bryant play in the 2013 to 2014 seasons when fans still elected him to the all-star game 20 no 31 31 is not available there's 6 15 23 and 30 let's go 30 but it might be that 20 number six games wow that's awesome that's awesome that's awesome that was my biggest club yet what year did kobe win his second nba scoring title i guess the year after 2005 2006 so not an option the next available one is 2007 there's also eight nine and ten uh let's go 2007 correct but now i'm really just guessing here all right great educated guesses all right let's so two more okay when

did kobe win his first of four nba all-star game mvps was it 1999 2000 2001 or 2002 yeah this one i don't know either uh this might have been when he was booed in Philadelphia for winning the All-Star MVP in 2001 is my guess. It's 2002. Fuck! Kobe scored a series-high 38 points in which game of the 2010 NBA Finals? I was going to say Game 7, but I don't think it was. I think everybody was struggling game seven um but like why would they say it if it's just game six god are the options game four

five six and seven there are two four five and seven fuck it give me game seven let's go for it it's game five makes sense makes a whole lot of sense how many questions are on this quiz there are oh wait actually i thought there was a lot more this is we're on the last question we're on the literal last question we did it yeah how many years did it take kobe to become a full-time starter for the Lakers? One, two, three, or four? I'll say two. Three.

Interesting. All-star, but not a starter. Good on him. Third season. Yeah. Wow. I think, I mean, I learned a lot, so I can only imagine how much you learned. I knew most of that.

The All-Star Game stuff, too? The draft thing was... And I think everyone listening heard me get a little tripped up. So that one I can't deny. All the other ones I basically knew. I wasn't sure if it was Paul Pierce or LeBron James, the second leading scorer in 2005-06. But then I did remember that Paul Pierce

was battling an MCL injury in the early part of that season, so I should have known. And yeah, Anderson was the third leading scorer, obviously. And twins! That's on the episode ends alright sweet finally a quiz I can excel at oh it feels good

that's right okay thanks for administering thanks for listening I'm sure we'll be back soon enough and next week with another classic episode of testing testing is this thing good nice that was a hit gum original with the five dollar meal deal at mcdonald's you pick a mcdouble or a mcchicken then get a small
