A prime example of when NOT to ask the audience: an obscure non-pop-culture question after already suggesting a very reasonable answer as your best guess. The ATA is worth very little except in isolated scenarios.

Bump with completed transcript. I guess Cathy was never a nerdy little trivia-kid, burying her nose in piles upon piles of Guinness Books.

Ha! I feel like I would've said something like this...


I know "horse" kind of makes the most sense right away, but here's the thing.....there's a Monty Python sketch about an argument about the speed of a obscure bird/s and I found that most Monty Python sketches were not in fact absurdist as I had assumed growing up whilst giggling at them...they usually have an igniting event, a real thing that happened that they're slyly referring to, even if the other parts of the joke work on their own. (Like watching the SNL DiaB video without having ever seen Color Me Badd.....still funny.) Also, wouldn't things like "who's the fastest horse" be readily available in newspapers of the day? Guinness has always been for trivia nerds, and nothing says nerds like bird facts. Horseracing's for cool kids.

I think the suggestion of beer because of the word Guinness is a little bit misleading too....beer suggestions horseracing, suggests Clydesdales, etc. Tricky tricky.
I think it's bird.

I hope I would have enough blood left in my head to think of this while UP there. Probably would be more like this;

"HOrsies Please MEREDITH! THANK YOU FINAL ANSWER! THHPPPPPTTT!" :shock:
