I was thinking asking similar lines. Dude's one of the world's most recognizable faces. People are friendly and nice (probably fauning, even), wherever he goes. He can get company whenever he wants it. That changes the perspective a bit.

I've only used it two days and I'm already starting to get sick of her offering me to link up with Are You Smarter Than a Sixth Grader questions. I also kinda want her to ask me outright. Eg I don't want to have to ask her to ask me today's question.

Some big-ish name boxing event(s), like in the US how (American) football is big on Thanksgiving or something.

Why would you still call it that day if no one does the thing it's named after any more?

I always thought it was kind of a big holiday, but it sounds just like our Black Friday. Which is a day we talk about but we don't really use it as a reference point for other things in conversation. (We don't say, let's meet on Friday. Oh, black Friday? Sure I'll meet you at the restaurant)

I had just changed her voice to Indian just to play around and I didn't really understand the question. I thought she was giving me UK trivia because I changed her voice. So I changed it back and asked again but I got the same question. But I understood it better this time. And apparently you can answer again and it will still say you're in the top whatever percent to get it right.

In summary, this is totally for sure not where I also got this til from.

I swear for years I thought it was something with boxing the sport. I have some memory of seeing a movie, maybe something like Snatch or Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, or something where they talk about boxing day as the day that 'things go down' and then the next day they're at a ritzy boxing event.

But probably I just jammed that memory together from who knows where.

edit: Yes, punish me for not knowing something, the entire point of this sub. I don't quite feel properly chastised yet.
