00:00Hello and welcome to Mind the Gap, the show where contestants compete to take home the money.
00:06I'm your host, Luna Malbrow. Let's meet today's contestants.
00:11Here we have, all the way from Connecticut, John.
00:14John is a graduate of IBU and also a sales manager at a pharmaceutical center.
00:19When he's not working, he enjoys beachside walks with his rescue dog, Wyatt.
00:24Please give it up for John.
00:26You're rough!
00:28Here all the way from San Francisco, we have Alice.
00:32Alice is a graphic designer who also enjoys a mean fish taco.
00:37A mean fish taco.
00:38Of course you do, girl. Of course you do.
00:41Thanks for being on the show.
00:43Jimmy, here all the way from the beautiful city of New Orleans, Louisiana, we have Rosa.
00:49Hi. Hi. Thanks for having me.
00:51Now, Rosa is a mechanical engineer, but also an avid ribbon dance enthusiast.
00:56Show us some of those moves, Rosa.
00:58Oh, oh.
01:00That's horrible.
01:00That's great. That's great.
01:03Last but not least, Architect by Day, Film Buff by Night.
01:09Please welcome William from Chicago.
01:10So, William, tell us, which one of those movies would you like to live inside of for the rest of
01:14your life?
01:15Well, definitely Clockwork Orange.
01:18Oh, well, I don't want to analyze that.
01:21Now, let's play Mind the Cab.
01:27Okay.
01:29I'm going to ask a series of questions the first person to press the buzzer will get a chance to
01:35answer.
01:36Today's topic is economics.
01:40First question, what percentage of the American labor force is female?
01:48William.
01:49Uh, 55%.
01:51Close, but not quite the answer I was looking for.
01:55Alice?
01:5747%.
01:57That is correct.
01:58Alice, you now have $1,000.
02:01Excuse me, I don't think my buzzer is working right.
02:05Hmm, maybe you just aren't pushing hard enough.
02:11Next question.
02:13True or false?
02:16Women who have children are less productive on the job.
02:20That seemed like a straight-up tie.
02:23So, let's go with John.
02:25True or false?
02:28Close enough.
02:29The correct answer is actually false.
02:31Contrary to popular belief, when you have a baby, you don't become completely useless.
02:47Um, can someone please fix my buzzer?
02:52Rosa!
02:55Oh, okay.
02:58Women earn blank cents to every dollar that a man earns.
03:05John!
03:06Remember, John?
03:07You can choose to phone a friend from IVU if you are unsure of your answer.
03:12Definitely do that one.
03:13Thanks.
03:14All right.
03:15It's safe.
03:15We have your fraternity brother, Alex, on the line.
03:18Alex, are you there?
03:20Yeah, I'm here.
03:20Kappa Rappa Chi, how you doing, Bone Town?
03:23Coming at ya.
03:24Bone Town, baby.
03:25The Constrictor.
03:27Okay, yeah, what's the question?
03:29Okay.
03:30Women earn blank cents to every dollar?
03:35Uh, hmm.
03:36I think it's a trip question?
03:38Yeah.
03:38You sure?
03:39Yeah, it's so cool here on TV.
03:41Well, it's the internet, but sure.
03:44My boy Alex, he says equals, so yeah.
03:47Ladies make the same as dudes.
03:50Yeah, dudes.
03:52Incorrect.
03:53I'm sorry, dude.
03:54Bro!
03:55William?
03:56I'd like to phone a friend, please.
03:58No, William.
03:59I'm sorry, but you cannot.
04:00How come?
04:01I mean, he just did.
04:02William, I don't make the rules, okay?
04:05I don't know what to tell you.
04:06Are you going to answer or not?
04:08I guess 79 cents?
04:10Correct.
04:11Congratulations, William.
04:12William, you earned yourself $1,000.
04:14There you go.
04:15Ha, ha, ha, ha.
04:26Last question for this round.
04:28True or false.
04:30Under the Equal Pay Act, employers cannot pay women or minorities less than white men with
04:36the same qualifications for doing the same job.
04:41John?
04:44Alice?
04:46William?
04:48Yes, Rosa.
04:51The Equal Pay Act states that employers cannot pay workers less based on sex, but it says
04:58nothing about racial discrimination at all.
05:00That is correct.
05:02$1,000 for Rosa.
05:05Lucky guess.
05:07It looks like we have a tie across the board.
05:10Now it's time to mind the gas.
05:16These are your final earnings.
05:19This is, this is ridiculous.
05:21You're right, Alice.
05:23It is ridiculous.
05:24But unfortunately, that's the American workforce.
05:27Women earn 79 cents for every dollar that a white man earns.
05:31While black men earn approximately 75 cents, black women earn approximately 63 cents, and
05:38Latino women earn roughly 54 cents.
05:41You can talk about inequality, but until we all come together on this, we're not going
05:45to win this uphill battle.
05:47Up!
05:48Looks like John just got another bonus.
05:51Congratulations, John.
05:55Yeah!
05:56Grab a gabba kai!
05:59That's all the time we have today, but join us next time for Mind the Gap!
