Shownotes Transcript

Hi everyone, I'm Dave Anthony and it's time to take The Quiz. This is The Quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out. Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We asked people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Question one. I

I'm loving it. Which fast food shape features baked apple pies and chocolate chip cookies and McFlurries on its menu? I don't know. McDonald's. You knew that one, of course. McDonald's. Question two. On what day is National Pie Day celebrated? I really don't know. March 14th.

Well, the answer, March 14th. 3-1-4, of course. All right, so not so bad. Hopefully you're two for two. But remember, they get tougher as we move along. Here's question three. In 1971, Don McLean released the song American Pie. In it, what kind of car does he sing he drove to the levee? Ford Pinto. Chevy. Chevy.

Well, if you guessed a Chevy, you'd be correct. You might have noticed a pie theme going on. Now, question four. Derby pie is the state pie of Kentucky. Who are the senators that represent this state? Rand Paul and, um... Frog face. McConnell. Blackburn.

Well, the answer, Senators Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul. Play, share, listen. Question five is next. The Fox True Crime Podcast presents Crimes on Campus. Sharing chilling stories of scandal, corruption, and murder. New episodes available every Tuesday this month. Listen and follow at foxtruecrime.com.

All right, we've gotten through four. Hopefully you're four for four. But brace yourself. The finale. This is a tough one. Question five. In which Shakespearean tragedy does Queen Tamora unknowingly eat a pie made of the bodies of her two young sons? Richard III. A Midsummer Night's Dream. Othello or Hamlet, but I don't remember which one. Macbeth. And the answer is Titus Andronicus.

All right, how'd you do on the quiz? Well, if you're like me, you might not have gotten the Shakespeare one right. Either way, you can try again tomorrow. And if you missed any along the way, you can always find more quizzes at thequiz.fox and then come back here to see how you did. You can normally hear me on the Fox News Rundown several days a week.
