the official YouCantWin Question #4 thread

what 2 things do paul castronovo and winston churchill have in common?

just a helpful hint to everyone. do NOT put "paul castronovo" "winston churchill" into google. it brings up only 6 or 7 sites. the first 4 i went into attacked my computer with spyware crap. once you get hit, the only way out is to shut down your browser with the task manager.

GOOD LUCK !!!!

So the answer has two parts...How is this going to work? I think when u get to Q4 u can answer twice and they'll give a yes/no for each (obviously if you get your 1st guess wrong "you can't win").  For example:  Paul: asks Q4, you: Both are/were fat bastards of their respective day, Paul: That’s right! (so then we have at least half of the question) you: wrong guess for #2 - game over but we know at least 1, and if your second guess is right but 1st guess wrong we still know half of the answer. To find the answer(s) I suggest going to Winston Churchill’s wikipedia page and finding items they may have in common; birthdays, anniversaries, etc.

I came up with two things...first Winston was an amateur painter (maybe Paul does that when he's not fishing?)  second...Winston had his appendix removed (could Paul be appendix-less?)

Could it be as simple as they are both white and both male?

Also, is there anyone else named either Paul Castronovo or Winston Churchill?  Remember previous you can't win contests when they asked about Michael Jackson and it ended up being about a sports player and not the singer as everyone thought?

Sorry Ben but if you answer "both were/are fat bastards of their respective day" Paul wouldn't answer "That's right!" but probably with a hearty "Good day sir!!"

Though i still believe that is half the answer.

today's wrong answer:

they both drink heavily and smoke cigars

I think I've got the answer. Every answer so far has to do with Palm Beach County.

I believe they both stayed at the Breakers Hotel. Paul worked there one summer. 

Does Paul have a middle name?

Where was Paul born?

I am inclined to think that they may be going with the american author Winston Churchill, just because of what they did with the Michael Jackson question last time

was that our friend Ben I heard this morning? I think so, since his answer seemed to have come straight out of this thread.

"They have both caught a swordfish and stayed at the Breakers Hotel"

BZZZZT!!!!

good try ben!!

Yeah, it was me.   Sorry didn’t get to give a haveahectic.com plug, I will for sure next time (I’ve managed to get through twice this season.)  Even though the answer(s) were wrong I’m glad Paul was embarrassed about his inability to catch a swordfish.  Ill take my prize too (better then the crappy Michael Clayton DVD I got the first time - still haven’t finished it...), good way to spend a weekend with the wife and kid.  Though I much would have rather had the Springsteen or Clapton tickets.

That guy obviously didn't read my rules on You Can't Win Etiquette.

I did a little research and found the following:

Regarding the slightly more famous Winston Churchill, some interesting facts that I thought could be used to be compared to Pauly:

1) Born premature

2) Overcame a speech impetiment

3) Painter

4) Hit by a car as a youth

5) History is his best subject

6) Almost drowned in a lake

7) Played Polo

8) 10 years older than his wife

9) Collected stamps

10) Bought a farm in Canada

11) Collects Hats

12) Recuperated in Florida in 1942 under a fake name (Mr. Lobb)

13) Lost his father's pocket watch in a lake

14) Freemason

15) Family Motto: "Fiel Pero Desdichado" - "Faithful but unfortunate"

Less is known about the other Winston Churchill:

1) Born in St. Louis on 10 November 1871.

2) Served in the Navy after attending the US Naval Academy in Annapolis

3) Wrote many books - great historian.

That's all I could find... happy cross-referencing!

I wish I knew where he stayed when he was in FL. I can't find it anywhere. I think that's one of the answers.

I'm thinking these are my top choices (In Order):

8) 10 years older than his wife

9) Collected stamps

1) Born premature

2) Overcame a speech impetiment

Ok, sno now my gripe is that people are only giving one answer to question #4 . The question asks for two things, not one. Idiots...

Oh and it has nothing to do with their weight. Paul just said so.

I still think that's one answer though...

Thanks to Eliza, we know that there is a second Winston Churchill.

Did anyone know that there is another Paul Castronovo? He is a lawyer in NJ. Could this be one answer: They both have someone who shares the same name?

Winston S. Churchill - Winston Churchill (Novelist)

Paul T. Castronovo - Paul Castronovo (lawyer)

Here is the website to the lawyer Paul Castronovo's website: http://www.castronovo-law.com/

Kimberly was the one who brought up the american winston churchill.

Maybe the similarity is between the lawyer Paul Castronovo and the American Winston Churchill.

Boy this question feels like there are too many combinations. 

THAT sounds like a good answer... so does the breakers thing...

you guys are smart cookiees! 

were any of youz at sunfest on sunday to see stephen marley?> it was hot as shit out there but

I had a buddy there who fed me some pot brownies....good shit!

HEY BY THE WAY CHECK OUT ISLAND HOPPERS (SURFING SHOW) TONIGHT AT 6PM ON SUNSPORTS NETWORK I DID ALL THE GRAPHICS FOR IT...YOU CAN SEE MY NAME AT THE END IN THE CREDITS

JOSEPH. E. WEINER. AKA JOEY THE JEW.

I found a Winston Churchill and a Paul Castronovo, who are both American and Personal Injury attorneys.

Sorry about that Kimberly :)

Today on YCW, Paul asked the question saying Sir Winston Churchill... do you think that could be taken as a hint? If you google Sir Winston Churchill it comes out as the american author.

IF YOU DONT KNOW THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS 1 THRU 3, PLEASE DONT CALL IN!!!!!!

that guy this morning made me want reach into the radio and pound his face in.

and on top of that, he won 4 tickets to universal studios for being a total a-hole loser.

[/rant]

OK, im better now

:-D

Hint:

There's a local connection.

Any chance this has something to do with Churchill's bar in Miami?

Actually, I don't even know if that place is still open, but it was quite a popular place to see local bands in my younger days.

Both have Vacationed in Miami Beach & stayed at The Surf Club?

or maybe, Both have vacationed in Miami Beach and painted/made post-cards of local sceens? (Paul doesnt strike me as the type to paint post cards)

http://www.winstonchurchillshop.com/product_info.php?products_id=405

or maybe Both have vacationed in Miami Beach, FL and Manalapan, FL

This is Duane,my coworker Michele got half of Question 4 today--Both Winston Churchill and Paul Castronovo have eaten at Cap's Place.

In research I found Winston's Mom was born in NY, Michele gave that as an answer but he said it was wrong.  Yesterday he noted it was a "local connection".

Anybody have any local ideas?

thanx duane!!

and welcome to haveahectic.com!

I've gotta go with either they both had a speech impediment growing up, or, they were both born premature as the second answer.

Did anyone catch the half #4 answer? I couldn't get it my audio went dead (listening online)...  

todays wrong answer......

paul was born on the same date (jan. 24) that churchill died

BZZZZT!!

they have both caught a sailfish?

BZZZZZT!

Ok, the person today got the wrong answer, but we got a hint!

she guessed that they both stayed at the Breakers Hotel.  Paul said not the Breakers.  So she was on the right track.  Anyone have a list of hotels in WPB?

SOFLchef, do you have links for that information?  I believe Paul said he was able to find it online. 

Winston Churchill has also stayed at the Kampong in Coconut Grove.  Has Paul?

Hhmmmmmmm.

todays caller said she was gonna take a guess.

her guess was "the Boca Raton Resort and Club"

pauls reply?

"who says its in florida?"

now things are starting to get interesting!

paul gave a double hint this morning.
when the caller gave her wrong answer (breakers hotel? really?again?), paul said "wrong hotel". then either ron or steve asked if it was a so. fla. hotel, paul said "no"

hmmmm

It is frustrating as hell to call in AND be the right caller!!! :-(  Will they take callers on the "hot-line"???  I have that number from a couple of years ago when I had to call in to them the day after my youngest son got pulled up on stage with U2

I have been close: 12 and 13 a couple of times, but no luck EVEN THOUGH I have the right answer for Question 4 part 2 since May 20.....I have done more on-line searching and found numerous sites that confirm SWC stayed at The Surf Club on Miami Beach.

Forget all of Paul's who said Florida comment of last week......count on it being florida related and SOUTH florida at that, just like all of the other questions' answers have been.....PNYR just want this game to drag out for the 150-180 show days like the last few rounds have gone

THIS IS NOT THE ANSWER THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SINCE THEY ARE LOOKING FOR A FLORIDA HOTEL, but both Paul and SWC had visited the Original Parrott Jungle in South Miami (now Pinecrest Gardens Park).

Count on it, the answer with YCW 4.5 is THE SURF CLUB on Miami Beach!!! ;-) 

Here's a link for the history of the Surf Club in Miami...... It mentions Winston Churchill as one of it's guests.

Good guess eric.

now on to question#5!!
