whole team and I was his coach well what better person to bring down here than your academic coach but can she help you with the height Barack Obama problem is everyone's tall for me pretty sure it's not 5 7 or 5 10 okay because I would make her 5 5 rice much taller than that my gut instinct is to go with 6-1 6-1 that would make her photo shoot that time is she 5 8 or is she 5 11 I mean I want to say that she's 511 because I really don't think she's 6 to the brain I don't think she's 6 channel make sure 6 to be real I just not 5 5 no Tristan I trust you I'm gonna go with C and I apologize if

a Millionaire Matthew Bailey up to $20,000 he said they said he came here to play and roll the dice a little bit take some chances you have but as I said at the beginning of the game it's easy to say that now at 20 and going up to $30,000 a little tougher to actually roll those dice isn't it's getting riskier and riskier but hopefully I can just keep making my way up so all right no more lifelines let's continue let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire here's your thirty thousand dollar question if you drank the proverbial eight glasses of water a day and live to be a hundred you'd consume 18,250 gallons closest to the amount in which of the following 1,000 beer kegs ten Olympic sized swimming pools to Boston harbours one Lake Tahoe okay it's math let's see eight glasses of water eight who seem to be eight ounces per glass would be a hundred 365 days in a year I don't know why I would compare this to let's say ten Olympic sized swimming pools kind of stands out because I feel like there would be more water in Boston Harbor just like altogether because I think it's fairly deep so I'm pretty sure there's more water and than just eighteen thousand twenty fifty gallons and that Lake Tahoe's pretty big there might be more though in that thousand beer kegs you know what I'm just not entirely sure of this because I can't wrap my head around just like that amount of water eighteen thousand gallons a lot trying to think of that in terms of the beer kegs but to be honest I've actually never been around a beer keg so I'm happy with how far I've gotten I've had a great time enjoyed meeting you it's been a pleasure you're awesome thank you as are you thank you so I'm just gonna cut my losses or gains this the sense and I'm just gonna walk away final that's my final

haven't had that opportunity I took some classes but now I haven't you know but that's what this money would afford is an education for you and your daughter oh yeah but partly the reason you're here

welcome James Middleton you're a trivia host what does that mean so so for the past 15 years every week I've been hosting a regular trivia night at a local restaurant and every week I come up with all my own questions and I've been doing it for years now so I got all this random stuff in my head hopefully it could be abuse tonight okay so 20,000 questions you've created in your lifetime about that yeah if you do the math just figured out over 15 years every week so yeah all right so you know what you're up against 14 questions with the money values going from $500 all the way up to 1 billion dollars at any time in the game you want to walk away with the money you've earned up to that point that is your choice but of course if you give me an incorrect answer you'll walk away with nothing that is until you get to that first threshold level of $5,000 then again there's another one at $50,000 you get to those levels that's the least you can walk away with today that's good but we're going for a million dollars here's more good news lifelines three of them first of all this beautiful audience here today they'll help you out that's pretty self-explanatory then there's the 50/50 I'll take away two incorrect answers and then this is very interesting for you because it's the +1 tell us about your +1 today who you brought to help you out well my +1 today is my friend Patrick who originally was my trivia nemesis so we would go to trivia nights together and I'd always get beat by one player and it was always him so if you can't beat them join them so now we play together well

love to have a margarita while you do it I think it's C industrial air conditioners finally I agree in mine it would be margarita machines but you're right just like that $500 off to a good start here's your $1,000 question replacing the typical ketchup and relish with foie gras black truffles and caviar a seattle food truck is charging $169 for the world's most expensive what pizza hot dog salad bagel okay well I wouldn't want to put ketchup and relish on pizza salad or a bagel so while I would never buy this hot dog I will say B hot dog final answer of course it's a hot dog I know flap

and TVs Vincent visit galium guillaume gollum gollum gallium yom-yom golem gallium gallium ghullam Neal okay so let's see first the Tolkien character is Gollum the silver metal would be gallium and Benson was Robert Guillaume so this is really confusing a look at but Gollum gallium Guillaume is B final answer right because I really don't want to do that again you're off to a great start my man here's the thing this next step $5,000 that your first threshold rise means no matter what happens after this point you will at least be taking that money home if you get this question right here it is $5,000 why do I always seem to choose the slowest line at the supermarket is a question answered in what specific branch of mathematics is it Euclidean geometry Fourier analysis vector calculus the queueing theory Richards not oculus not geometry the problem is I don't know what Fourier analysis is but I do know queueing theory so queueing theory has to do with lines and typically it like Bank branches where you you got to design your cue so everybody gets served in a certain amount of time so I'm gonna go D queueing theory final answer take it a shot yeah try to save those lifelines is it a wise play it is indeed you've reached that $5,000 brush [Applause] [Applause] dr. Becker Who Wants to Be a Millionaire here with James Middleton who had kissed Cruz through to that first threshold of $5,000 got his three lifelines intact and speaking of life you got a full one my man five kids at home yes so between me and my girlfriend we have five kids of one house so if you win this million dollars today if anyone could use it at you yeah what would you do with it we had to give up the master bedroom for her two teenage boys so they'd have their own space the only thing about that is that my girlfriend to give up the walk-in closet right so hopefully with the money we can have some more space reclaim the master bedroom and even build a bigger walk-in closet well I'm telling you you guys could use it all right so now I'm ruined for you and your girlfriend what's her name Krystal so this is for you and Krystal $5,000 you've reached that threshold again nothing can take that away from you but let's do better than that okay you ready to play I'm ready to play all

nickel zinc or 10 actually no this so pennies used to be copper then they started doing mixing it with zinc and now of course like it says now it's now more expense to make them so I'm gonna say C

dollars James here's your twenty thousand dollar question [Music] in the 50 states official postal abbreviations what letter appears the most often is it a B C or D you know what I think I got to do it the one I'm thinking is a because a is the beginning of a bunch of a states and at the end of a bunch of radiation four states you're at $10,000 now two lifelines yep if you get this wrong you lose half your money you're still going to leave here with $5,000 that's the stakes you know I'm going to take a risk and I'm go a mile answer your wrist half your money but instead you doubled your money

standing five foot six and the other six foot two which of these roles features the greatest height difference between the actor and the person they portrayed was it Julia Roberts as Erin Brockovich was a Tom Hanks as Walt Disney Meryl Streep is Julia Child Daniel day-lewis as Abraham Lincoln okay so I had something that popped into my head before the questions the answers even came up and it's up there okay but I'm pretty high up and I really want to get to that 50 but one thing is I just don't know how tall this actors actually so [Music] okay talk me through it what are you thinking let me tell you what I'm thinking I'm thinking Daniel day-lewis is Abraham Lincoln because Abe was six foot two but I'm just not sure how Daniel day-lewis how tall he is never seen him in person but I know in the movies people have taught and they actually are you know what let's what's 50 50 it just to be safe final 50 50 let's take away two incorrect answers please that might have just saved a $15,000 you were left with Tom Hanks as Walt Disney Meryl Streep as Julia Child I had the Lifeline so only use it I'm gonna bring up my plus one okay her plus one coming down convinced they almost went for it yeah so I know the Julia Child was especially tall she had special counters made because she was so tall so that was kind of a visual trick on TV not sure about Meryl Streep's height Tom Hanks I would guess probably right around the 510 yeah he's already tall right yeah I just don't I mean I can't imagine Tom Hanks is five six I mean he's not the Tom Cruise kind of height level so my guess my suggestion would be Meryl Streep this is here this is for you so no unison is for - no I I think I remember the thing about Julia Child in in the modified counters so I'm gonna go with my plus one and I'm gonna say see Meryl Streep as Julia Child final answer cut your old nemesis have just gotten you to $30,000 [Applause] and the commercial [Applause] welcome back to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire James Middleton my man is on a roll he is at $30,000 more importantly you are five questions away from 1 billion dollars all right the only hitch now is you've used all three lifelines but

named Esmeralda became the first ever recipient of what was it mercury dental fillings titanium prosthetic legs stomach staples silicone breast implants I don't think it's D dental fillings I think

in the lifeline that's gonna be slide that might be the garage and the closet thirty thousand dollars congratulations but but if you were to take one more step what would you have guessed if I were just guessed I'd probably go the prosthetic legs be it was d silicone breast implants here's your question of the day considered one of the world's most feminist countries what island nation has
