Bill, who is Lily King playing for?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

I'm guessing they're fans.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Are you ready to do this?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Okay.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Here we go.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Here's your first question.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

For centuries, psychologists have talked about the Napoleonic complex or the idea that short men could be more aggressive or ambitious than taller men.

But a 2007 English scientific study disproved it.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

How did they do that?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Was it A, by hitting short men with sticks and seeing if they got angrier than tall men?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

B, by asking short men how much they might enjoy conquering Europe?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

Or C, simply by asking a bunch of short men if they were compensating for something and they all said, no!

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Yeah.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Your choice is C?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

They just asked them and they all yelled no?

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

Yeah.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!
We tackle the SOTU and Olympian Lilly King talks trash

No, it was actually A. No!

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

What they did, and this is true, is they would wrap men of various heights on the knuckles with sticks, and they noted that shorter men would react with less anger than taller men.

Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!

All right, you have two more chances.
