A good FJ clue, I think, and expected a triple-get. I didn't know the origin story or the Texas Rangers, and now I do - which is what makes the clue writers so awesome.
I didn't hear the Pikachu response as a question, but it was so fast I'm sure it was in there.
Do 3 smart men really not know what dry ice is made of? Does the general public appreciate the novelty of CO2 not having a liquid phase or even question it? Plenty of solids sublime (iodine, camphor), but they will also form a liquid state (melting) at atmospheric pressure (or decompose trying). This is awesome material science, akin to some of the amazing behaviors of water or carbon as diamond.

New York was massive negbait for Andy Warhol, but PA was the obvious choice if you knew that he was Lemko and Ruthenian Catholic (an association that should be easy enough to make for anyone who has seen The Deer Hunter).
I thought "he's from PIttsburgh" was a bit snide on Alex's part. After all, Al Capone was from Brooklyn.

You did allude to it, but there is liquid CO2, but only at higher pressures.

FJ WECIB? How about U.S. Border Patrol?? As another poster said, I think calling it a "U.S. group" steered me toward a federal body.
I think what was confusing about the dry ice clue was, we don't think of carbon dioxide as a fatal poison...
Just about everything ever written about Andy Warhol mentions he was from Pittsburgh - a little more known than his branch of Catholicism...

And he died in Florida. So I guessed Florida for that clue. If I'd known a little less, I'd have gotten it right. Then in the very next clue, I only knew that Warhol was strongly associated with NYC. If I'd known a little more.... I'm not in training right now, so I don't know if I'd have rung in on either clue. All I know is the penalty-free responses I shouted from the couch were both wrong.
That said, I didn't take Alex's comment as snide, though I see how it could come off that way. I thought he was just explaining why a Pennsylvania burial was something a J! contestant might be able to deduce. I found the aside helpful since I had forgotten the Pittsburgh connection.

Still better than this game where they expected you to know that James Warhola is from Pittsburgh entirely because his name is similar to Andy Warhol's.

No, it is Andy Warhol's name. He changed it from Warhola.

To be fair, that was in the UTOC. That clue would definitely be way too much in a regular game. And even for UTOC, what were they thinking putting it in the $800 slot in a DJ round? That clue belongs in the $2000 box if it belongs anywhere, as the TS from the contestants confirms.

No, it was Andy Warhol's name before he changed it to something similar.
