This is Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz

0:24

show and offbeat trivia podcast. My

0:27

show is episode 275 and

0:29

of course I'm your humble

0:31

host, Karen, and we are

0:33

your trickster trivia triplets trying

0:35

to triumph without tripping. I'm

0:38

Colin. And I'm Chris. It

0:41

is our season finale, everybody.

0:44

This is our last episode

0:46

of our spring season and

0:48

thank heavens it is an all

0:51

quiz bonanza. Yay. We're

0:54

going to start the show

0:56

with our usual correction segment.

0:59

Favorite. Um, actually, so

1:01

we have a very good, um,

1:03

actually, and a very good backstory. The

1:06

last episode, 274 about siblings. I

1:09

had a segment about sister cities

1:12

and I shared one. I did not

1:14

check the source, but turns out it is

1:17

wrong. I noted how,

1:19

um, Paris, France is sister

1:21

cities with Palo Alto,

1:24

California, tech capital of

1:26

United States, somewhat, you know,

1:28

spiritually. They are not sister

1:30

cities. The sister city

1:32

of Palo Alto that's in

1:34

France is Albee,

1:37

Albee, France. And

1:39

this listener Yves, he wrote in, he

1:41

goes, I know this because my dad

1:44

made it happen. Oh,

1:46

all right. And I like pressed and

1:48

I was like, Oh my God, can you tell

1:50

us more? Like, yo, what did your dad do?

1:52

Like why, why Albee? And you know, please tell

1:55

us more. And you

1:57

said it's basically my parents moved.

2:00

from Albee to Palo Alto and

2:02

I wouldn't want any connection. Wouldn't that be

2:04

neat? So you know

2:06

what, Carrot, that's so funny that this came

2:09

up because literally just last

2:11

week, a week ago today, I

2:13

was in Palo Alto, California.

2:15

I was there for several days

2:17

for a work thing. And

2:20

on the last day, I was

2:22

out to get some breakfast with some of

2:25

my coworkers, went to go get some coffee

2:27

and breakfast. And we walked past Palo

2:29

Alto City Hall and out in front

2:31

of Palo Alto City Hall is a

2:33

post and it says Palo Alto Sister

2:35

Cities and it's got all of the

2:37

little arrows pointing at each little sister

2:39

cities. And like internally, I'm like, all

2:41

right, keep it cool, Colin. Like, you

2:43

know, people are gonna think through it.

2:45

Like, you know, like, he's like, I

2:47

don't like freak out and be like,

2:49

hey guys, check it out. Do you

2:51

guys want to go look at the

2:53

post that shows the sister cities to

2:56

Palo Alto, California? And like my coworkers

2:58

are like mostly from Berlin and they're

3:00

like, no, it's not, we don't need

3:02

to go see that, that's okay. Keep

3:05

it cool, man. Yeah. I

3:07

don't know when it happened, but when

3:10

you start reading plaques on

3:12

buildings, you know, you're far

3:14

gone. You're gone, you're out.

3:16

You're like, how interesting. As

3:20

the great Roman Mars says, right, always read

3:22

the plaque. Yeah, always read

3:25

the plaque. And I

3:27

have another follow up to last episode.

3:31

It is not an, actually, but an

3:33

addendum. This is from

3:35

a listener, Chris, from our

3:37

Loeb Trotters fan group. Colin, in

3:39

the last episode, you had a quiz about Parker

3:42

Brothers and Parker Brothers games. And

3:45

you notably talked about how Parker

3:47

Brothers owned Nerf for a

3:49

while. Yes, yes. And the

3:51

person who invented Nerf also

3:53

invented Twister, Ren Gyer.

3:56

Well, Chris is related.

4:00

to Ren Geyer. Yeah, my maternal

4:02

aunt married the son of Ren

4:04

Geyer. So he has a direct,

4:07

less than six degree connection

4:09

to officially to Nerf and

4:11

Twister. I mean, game

4:14

royalty. He shared a fun

4:16

fact. After being an inventor, Ren

4:18

also founded a company called Windsor

4:20

Learning focused mostly on reading systems

4:23

to help students with dyslexia. That's

4:25

fantastic. Is that cool? Oh my

4:27

God. That is really cool. People are

4:29

related to the trivia. That's

4:31

wild. Well, all right, without further

12:41

area, the country of Russia

12:44

12:46

of Pluto. True or false?

12:49

Wow. In

12:51

surface area. Chris

12:53

again. Oh, I gotta

12:56

go with false. Colin?

12:58

I feel like even

13:01

a dwarf planet. The only

13:03

reason I would say true is because otherwise

13:05

it's a who cares question. That's the only

13:07

reason I'm gonna say true. I don't know.

13:10

The odds in the 2010s had a lot

13:12

of Pluto drama. True.

13:17

It is true. That's

13:20

here. Pluto's surface

13:22

area is 6.4 million square

13:25

miles and Russia is 6.6. That

13:27

is a good trivia

13:29

nugget. That is a good one. That

13:32

is. That's good. It really

13:34

is a small planet. How do they

13:36

know? How do they know what? How

13:38

big Russia is? That you can read.

13:40

Pluto. I think Pluto is like water

13:43

displacement, right? They

13:45

float it in a giant bathtub,

13:47

right? They're top physicists in high

13:49

school, Karen. I mean, Eureka. Orange

13:55

wedge, which physicists loved sailing

13:57

and did it for 50 years?

14:00

14:04

near-missed collisions. Huh. Wow.

14:08

14:10

Richard Feynman. Incorrect. I don't

14:12

know. Chris. Do

14:15

I know a fifth? Neil's born. Alfred

14:18

Einstein. Ah, alright. Good job,

14:20

brains! Alright,

14:23

this week, it

14:25

is our All Quiz Bonanza

14:27

episode! Every fifth episode,

14:29

we don't have a theme or a

14:32

topic. We all brought our own

14:34

random quizzes and games to stump each

14:36

other and sub you guys listeners. So

14:39

get ready, this week, it's

14:42

All Quiz Bonanza number 55! I

14:54

will go first. So this

14:56

is like, well trodden ground for good job,

14:58

brain. I think some of these have come

15:00

up before, but I don't know if you've

15:02

ever done a quiz in this format before.

15:04

So what I have for you guys is

15:07

a quiz about fictional characters that are generally

15:09

only known by

15:11

their nickname, but who

15:13

in fact have, uh, like,

15:15

real names. Oh! Like,

15:17

actual names. That generally

15:20

they're not addressed by these names,

15:22

but canonically these are their names. They

15:25

are addressed by these names, but we would

15:27

know them as really the nickname. So

15:31

the way that we're gonna do this is, this

15:33

is, we're doing this the hard way, maybe. I'm

15:36

giving you the real name. The

15:43

not often used real

15:45

name of this person, and

15:47

you have to identify who the

15:49

character is, you know, by their

15:52

common nickname. Okay. So,

15:54

without having any context, it may

15:57

perhaps be a little more

15:59

difficult. to place it. Okay. We'll

16:01

see how you guys do. Maybe

16:04

you'll kill them. Do we know

16:06

what realm? These are characters from

16:08

cartoons, movies, comics, books, board

16:11

games, math, math. It

16:13

could be anything. Alright,

16:16

alright. For example, in

16:18

the board game realm,

16:21

one that I did not put in

16:23

here because it's a little bit too

16:25

obvious, is Milburn Pennybags. Oh,

16:28

Monopoly man. Monopoly,

16:31

Rich on the Wall, Pennybags,

16:33

what have you. Technically his

16:35

real name, canonically, is Milburn

16:38

Pennybags. So I'm going to give you the

16:40

real name, the real name of the fake

16:42

person. And then you tell me the nickname

16:44

that they go by. Okay, sounds good. Let's

16:46

write this down. Oh. Caring

16:48

against Collin and see who

16:51

knows their fictional character

16:53

real names. And

16:56

all I'm giving you is the

16:58

real name. You got to write down. Alright. Okay. I'm

17:00

not giving you that much time either. Okay. Here

17:02

we go. Norville

17:04

Rogers. Norville

17:07

Rogers. Karen

17:10

has written Shaggy, whereas

17:13

Collin has written Buck Rogers,

17:16

Norville Buck Rogers. No, Norville

17:18

17:20

17:27

ring a bell now. Yeah, you're right.

22:30

Pussy Bumpinsero from The

22:35

named because he is a cat

22:37

burglar. Colin has tied it

22:39

up. It is four to four

22:41

as we move into this fictional

22:43

character whose name is Miles

22:47

Crowher. Where do

22:49

I know that? Oh man

22:51

I know this from Chris. You

22:54

should know this from me asking this in a

22:56

different form I think on

22:58

a previous episode. Well

23:01

I remember we got it wrong. We thought it

23:03

was the other one and it's the other one.

23:05

Interesting. This character is like yeah

23:07

this character has definitely moved into

23:09

more of a position of pop

23:11

culture prominence. Okay.

23:15

Colin says Knuckles. Karen

23:18

says Tails. Karen is

23:20

correct. It is

23:22

Sonic the Hedgehog's little buddy Tails, the

23:24

two-tailed fox. Real name

23:27

Miles Prower. Very nice.

23:29

Miles Prower. Yep. Miles

23:32

Prower. Oh my god. I'm gonna flip

23:34

it. Karen

23:41

has stood up. Karen is

23:43

pacing. Throwing

23:46

her headphones across the room.

23:49

I can't believe this. Miles

23:51

Prower. Yep. Phenomenal. All

23:54

right. Oscar

23:56

Diggs. Oh.

24:00

I mean...Oscar

24:03

Diggs? Okay,

24:06

I don't know. I don't know. Oscar

24:08

Diggs, just a farm boy from

24:10

middle America who grew up to be...Karen says

24:12

Oscar the Grouch. A farm boy? Colin

24:15

says Oscar the Grouch. No! No!

24:17

I'm sending you back in. I'm going to tell

24:19

you this. Okay. Okay, maybe it

24:21

would help you if I told you that his middle

24:23

name... His

24:26

middle name is Oscar Zoroaster

24:28

Diggs. Why

24:30

is that clue? Farm

24:33

boy from middle America went on

24:35

to bigger and better things.

24:39

Farm boy from middle America. Oh!

24:43

Oh! Oh! Oh! James

24:47

Franco, Colin. Second bite of

24:49

the apple? Yes? Oh no, what is it? Karen

24:53

says, the Wizard of Oz.

24:56

Correct. Very

24:58

good. Oscar Diggs.

25:01

OZ! OZ! How

25:05

about...I'm going to give you guys two more. Okay.

25:08

Officer Edgar Mallory. Oh.

25:11

Uh oh. I'm

25:15

from Copernix, Dave. Edgar Mallory.

25:18

If you think you can identify who Officer

25:20

Edgar Mallory is, just write down something that

25:22

I know that you know. Karen

25:26

says, Paunch? I

25:28

was thinking of Eric Estrada. Oh,

25:30

that's Paunchy Rello, right? Paunchy Rello,

25:33

yeah. Oh, I think. And Colin

25:35

says, RoboCop, Officer Edgar Mallory is

25:37

the real name. If

25:39

you think back to the beginning of this quiz,

25:41

when I used to talk about some of the

25:44

categories. Board games? Officer, it is from the World

25:46

of Board Games. Monopoly

25:48

policeman. Yep. Officer

25:50

Edgar Mallory is the name of the

25:52

cop that sends you to jail in

25:55

Monopoly. Wow! Yep, yep,

25:57

yep. So I have just one more for

25:59

you. This is the

26:01

expert level. This

26:04

character's real name

26:06

is Bartholomew Richard

26:09

Fitzgerald Smythe. And

26:12

Fitzgerald Smythe is a hyphenate

26:14

also, just to let you know. Bartholomew

26:17

Richard Fitzgerald Smythe.

26:20

It's this character's real name. So

26:23

don't go looking at the acronym. That's

26:27

not going to help you. I think

26:29

you just need to know that this

26:31

character, what does his name suggest to you?

26:34

I have a guess. Rich. I

26:36

have a guess. Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

26:39

Member of high society. He's certainly, he

26:41

is an aristocrat. He is a member of high

26:43

society. You

26:45

both put Richie Rich. I think that's

26:48

actually a very, very good guess. It's

26:50

wrong, but it's a very, very good

26:52

guess. It's a Richard kind of thing.

26:54

That's his real name. I believe that

26:57

his actual name is

26:59

like Richard Rich. You

27:01

want another crack at the apple, as it were? I'll

27:04

take another. I'll take another. Another bite

27:06

at the hat. He's an aristocrat. He is a mascot who

27:09

appears on food products. Oh.

27:18

There's only one

27:20

distinguished enough. An elegant,

27:23

distinguished gentleman. Bartholomew

27:25

Richard Fitzgerald. I

27:28

can't believe he has a name. And

27:31

a wonderful name at that. It's

27:34

the proper, is the proper name

27:36

of the true gentleman, Mr. Peanut.

27:39

Peanut. I mean,

27:42

the monocle, the cane, the monocle,

27:44

the spats. I mean, is there

27:46

anything, you know? Peanut can't, his

27:48

leg can't do. Yeah, it's really

27:51

laying it on thick, like the

27:53

delicious taste of Mr. Peanut brand

27:55

butter. And

27:59

I forgot to keep. score after about the halfway

28:01

point. So I really don't know who won

28:03

and quite frankly, couldn't care less. With

28:06

Miles Prower, we all won. All

28:12

right. I have a game here. So

28:16

this game is the brainchild of a

28:18

friend of the show, Jonathan. Oh, hey Jonathan.

28:20

Who was a TV exec and a

28:22

long time ago tried to make Good

28:24

Job Brain, the TV show happened, not

28:27

really happened. We just talked about it.

28:29

You know, it was the closest we

28:31

ever got. Yeah. Analyzing brush with like

28:33

we had a meeting. So

28:35

Jonathan had an idea and

28:37

this is, this is from his

28:40

words. He says the game is

28:42

called six degrees of separation anxiety.

28:44

Love it. I'm

28:47

going to give you an actor,

28:49

a movie and another actor

28:51

in that order. It's kind of

28:53

like a crazy before

28:56

and after sandwich situation. Okay. Yeah.

28:58

Yeah. You're creating a chain of three

29:00

movies. That is the goal of before

29:02

and after of three things. So

29:05

chain of three movies. You're going

29:07

to get the middle movie. The first movie is

29:09

going to be clued in by the actor, the last

29:12

movie. And that chain is, is the second

29:14

actor. So for example, if I

29:16

said Michael Sarah,

29:19

bad boys for life, John

29:22

Cleese, which means

29:25

Michael Sarah is in a movie where the last word is

29:27

bad. And

29:31

then, uh, John Cleese stars in the movie

29:33

where the first word is life. So it

29:35

would be super bad, super bad voice for

29:37

life with Brian. Yes.

29:41

Got it. Okay. All right.

29:43

So, so the answer is

29:45

a three movie connection. Yeah.

29:47

So again, the example was Michael

29:49

Sarah, bad boys for life, John

29:52

Cleese. So he, Michael Sarah was

29:54

in super bad boys

29:57

for life of Brian. All

29:59

right. we go most most

30:01

of these are Jonathan's I I

30:03

came up with some unhinged ones so thank

30:08

you Jonathan what a great like what a

30:10

35:17

think that's the decider. You go by how do you

wiggle room in my mind. Oh, last

38:03

collect all the little odds and ends of

38:05

quizzes that didn't quite come together during

38:10

the fridge and mash them

38:12

together That's

38:14

38:35

dumpling you brought back because it's like

38:40

38:42

the the tortillas dry, but there's a good

38:44

chicken in there right, you know Like you

38:46

still a meal in there. Yeah Topic

38:50

I have a personal question to ask you

38:52

guys So let's say you get

38:54

a burrito or a sandwich and it's like you

38:56

put a fridge and you want to eat

38:58

again You want to reheat it? What do

39:01

you do with the cold vegetable

39:03

the lettuce e salad? I take it

39:05

out I think I'm gonna put it back in I

39:07

have like half a cheeseburger or something like that You

39:10

know take all the cold parts out heat it up.

39:12

He up the burger then put it all back reassemble

39:15

Yeah, I do ideally you have the foresight to

39:17

take it out when you're stashing it away for

39:19

later, right? Yeah And

39:21

it kind of depends on what you're gonna do with

39:24

it. I'm not crazy to decontro

39:27

Yeah, no, that's that's probably this I don't

39:29

want to eat Microwaved

39:31

wilty lettuce is disgusting. Anyway, I'm

39:33

very happy that we had this

39:35

moment. Yeah, I mean my this

39:38

is good ammo That

39:40

lettuce on day two is already on borrowed time it

39:49

No, that's fair, yeah, yeah, I Did

39:52

however try hard to find a

39:54

hook to to tie it to

39:56

tie us in here we are

39:58

in the thick of the

40:00

NBA playoffs right now, the

40:03

National Basketball Association playoffs, among

40:05

the many standout players in

40:08

the league this season who

40:10

received MVP votes in fact,

40:13

was none other than a guard

40:16

for the Oklahoma City Thunder named

40:18

Shay Gilgis Alexander.

40:21

Shay Gilgis

40:23

Alexander, that's a hyphenated last

40:25

name. He goes

40:27

by SGA sort of in the NBA blogosphere

40:29

and news press because it's a good little

40:32

shortened name because his name is a little

40:34

long. In fact, in

40:37

fact, you guys, Shay

40:39

Gilgis Alexander has the

40:41

record for longest

40:45

name ever in

40:47

the NBA, by which I mean

40:50

longest last name on the jersey.

40:52

18 characters.

40:56

And you know, like you say, okay,

40:58

Gilgis Alexander, but then like you really

41:01

think about it. Alexander's long. Yeah, you

41:03

got Alexander is long. And then you've

41:05

got a hyphen, which counts as a

41:07

character, by the way. And then you've

41:09

got Gilgis on the front there. Yeah.

41:11

So when he was drafted by the

41:13

Clippers, actually, you know, a few seasons

41:15

ago, there was a photo that made

41:17

me chuckle. So like, he came into

41:20

the league and there was a little

41:22

odd news NBA factoid, hey, longest name

41:24

ever in the NBA jersey. And there

41:26

was a picture of him from the

41:28

back with with with with his name

41:30

sort of started way over on the

41:33

left, you know, horizontal, making a real

41:35

precarious U turn above the top of

41:37

the letters. And then coming back down

41:39

again on the right side, just

41:42

a challenge to the jerseymaker to get all

41:44

of those letters on there. Right? I mean,

41:46

you look like LeBron James, right? I

41:48

mean, that's five letters, right? I mean,

41:50

you could get three plus James, James, James

41:52

and still have room to spare for

41:55

the price of one Gilgis Alexander letter. And

41:57

they've gotten a little bit better with fitting

41:59

his name on. on the jersey.

42:01

But so then that got me got

42:03

me thinking, what are the longest names

42:06

in the major professional

42:08

US sports, the

42:10

big three, at least, you know,

42:12

these are not necessarily anything I expect you

42:14

to remember. But you know, maybe you file

42:16

it away, it sits in the back of

42:18

your head there for for a little while

42:20

until you pull it out at the right

42:22

moment, the longest name of any player in

42:25

Major League Baseball history. We're setting records here

42:27

recently. This is just

42:29

as of 2023, when this player

42:32

hit the majors, Christian

42:34

Encarnacion Strand. So

42:36

we got another

42:38

hyphenate here. Also

42:40

18 characters and then to

42:42

round it out for the NFL

42:44

the record for longest NFL player

42:46

name on a jersey was Michael

42:48

Ho Manauanui with 15 characters. Yes, yes

42:51

with the Hawaiian influence on

42:53

his last name there. That

42:55

made me remember that I had a

42:58

whole bunch of abandoned quiz

43:00

notes for long things. You

43:02

may remember we have a long episode

43:04

at one point. So I used that

43:06

as the base for my stew threw

43:09

in a little few other nuggets that

43:11

I collected along the course of the

43:13

season. So I've got a quiz for

43:15

you here, generally around long names, long

43:18

titles, long words, etc. So we're

43:20

going to do this as a buzzer. Get

43:22

your buzzers ready to jump

43:24

on in. We'll start off with

43:26

a warm up here. We covered this actually just

43:28

a season or two ago. Do you

43:31

recall what is

43:33

the nation with the

43:36

longest official title as

43:39

recognized by the United Nations? Longest

43:42

name. Now

43:45

Chris, is it the Democratic

43:48

Republic of the Congo? You're

43:51

on the right track in that it's a

43:53

full official name. It is

43:55

not. It is not that country. It is in

43:57

fact the United Kingdom. of

44:00

Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Longest

44:05

official full complete name of a

44:07

nation. So here

44:11

we go. In 2021, this comedy,

44:14

a sequel, earned

44:16

the Guinness World Record for

44:19

longest title for

44:21

a film nominated for

44:23

an Oscar. The

44:26

full official title of this movie

44:28

was 110 characters long. Most

44:33

people, including the movie press,

44:35

used a three-word shortened

44:38

version. Oh, okay. I

44:40

was... What movie

44:42

was this? 2021, the movie came out in 2020.

44:44

It was a sequel with a well-known

44:53

fictional character and intentionally

44:56

offensive fictional character, you

44:58

might say. Sequel

45:00

that one that got nominated for

45:03

an Oscar for Best Picture. It was nominated

45:05

for two Oscars, Best Actress in a Supporting

45:07

Role and Best Writing. Is this

45:10

Borat 2? Yes, I'm

45:12

gonna give it to you. Yeah,

45:14

but what's the... Sorry, how did

45:17

they... The common name was

45:20

Borat Subsequent Movie Film.

45:23

Oh, okay. The full

45:25

official name of the

45:27

title, the record-winning name

45:29

is Borat Subsequent Movie

45:31

Film colon delivery of

45:34

prodigious bribe to American

45:36

regime for make benefit

45:38

once glorious nation of

45:40

Kazakhstan. All right,

45:42

we'll shift gears here a little bit prestige-wise,

45:44

perhaps. What is the

45:46

longest play by William Shakespeare?

45:51

Oh, oh, not the title. Not

45:53

the title. You can go by

45:56

most words, most lines. It'll win

45:58

on either count. Chris. Henry

46:01

VIII? No, Karen what do you got? Richard

46:04

III? No, it is Hamlet.

46:06

Hamlet by a good

46:08

margin. Yes, the longest. The only of

46:11

his plays to even top 30,000 words.

46:13

Over 4,000 lines. Yeah,

46:17

it's a long one. It's a long

46:19

one indeed. In

46:21

the world of horse racing, as I

46:23

think we've talked about on the show,

46:26

horse names follow a

46:28

very, very interesting

46:31

number of rules, all

46:33

set down by the jockey club,

46:35

the official arbiter of all things

46:37

related to registering and naming horses

46:40

in the horse racing world. How

46:42

long is the longest

46:45

allowable horse name? Oh,

46:47

the character? In lengths

46:53

or in characters?

46:56

Cannot go over this many characters for a

46:58

horse name. Characters for a horse name. 100.

47:01

200. No, that's too many. 1,000 characters. Well,

47:07

if we're going to go closest to, I think Chris

47:09

takes it. It is actually 18 characters. Your

47:14

official horse name has, yes. Which

47:16

is one reason why you see

47:18

people getting kind of cheeky, like

47:20

taking spaces out, running words together.

47:23

Yeah, Portmanteau words, right. Yeah. Among

47:25

many, many, many other words.

47:28

You cannot have a name that

47:30

ends in Philly or Colt or

47:32

Stallion or any kind of horse

47:35

related term. You can't

47:37

use the name of a living

47:39

person unless that person has not

47:41

only given their permission, but delivered

47:43

their permission to the jockey club,

47:45

on and on and on.

47:47

They have reserved names for very famous

47:50

horses. Like you can't name your horse

47:52

Manowar and register that horse anymore.

47:54

Yeah. And it also cannot be more

47:56

than 18 characters. Speaking

47:59

of animal registration... I learned that

48:01

in France if you're registering a

48:03

dog and this is for you know purebred dogs

48:05

Not like your your shelter dogs that you adopt

48:08

but like if you're gonna register your dog every

48:11

Dog from that year has to

48:13

have a name that starts with the

48:15

same letter Really?

48:17

Yeah. Okay. All right. Yeah, let's

48:19

say one year is asked the next year is T

48:21

There's some letters obviously they don't use like X, you

48:23

know, cuz there's not a lot of X names. That's

48:26

interesting So if you know the scene you can tell

48:28

how old it is by their by their name, right?

48:34

All right buzzers ready lightning round

48:37

can't think too fast here what

48:39

US state capital has the

48:41

longest name It's

48:43

actually a tie you got two bites at this

48:45

one Karen. What do you got? Tallahassee

48:49

that is in Correct Tallahassee

48:51

11 letters were going longer than

48:53

11 Remember just

48:56

throw out here that city counts for

48:58

four letters there. Oh I

49:05

was trying to rush you guys because I figured Karen would just

49:07

throw this one down right away No,

49:14

not a state capital

49:16

Oh, okay salt Lake

49:19

City and Jefferson

49:21

City Like

49:23

sorry to count the spaces Yeah

49:34

All right And before I get any

49:36

um actually is from the fine

49:38

fine people of the fine fine

49:41

city of Santa Fe New Mexico,

49:43

let me just address the hanging

49:46

asterisk here, which is the fact

49:48

that the historical

49:50

full Official

49:52

depending on how you want to look

49:54

at it name of Santa Fe New

49:57

Mexico is la via Real de la

49:59

Santa Fe de Santa Francisco de Aziz,

50:02

which if anybody actually

50:04

used that name in any

50:06

sort of common situation might

50:08

qualify for longest state capital,

50:10

but not in common usage,

50:12

but I don't want your

50:14

emails and your own actually

50:16

is so consider yourself after

50:18

it. Asterisk, asterisk, asterisk, right

50:21

there we go. All

50:24

right. There have been two

50:26

US presidents with 10 letter

50:28

last names. That's

50:32

a record name either or both.

50:35

Karen, Roosevelt, and Chris, why

50:37

don't you just give me

50:39

one. Karen gave me

50:41

Roosevelt, incorrect. Eisenhower is

50:43

one, ding, ding, ding.

50:46

Little fella by the name of George

50:49

Washington. Oh, really?

50:51

Oh, yes. Joe

50:54

Biden is this is interesting

50:56

to me. He has both

50:58

the longest full official

51:00

name of any US president.

51:02

Okay. So again, counting spaces

51:04

and characters, everything and now

51:07

he's a junior. Remember, so

51:09

his full name, Joseph

51:11

Robinette Biden, Jr.

51:15

coming in at 26 characters.

51:17

And that's with me abbreviating the

51:19

JR. He also has

51:22

the shortest common name

51:24

at Joe Biden with just being nine

51:26

characters. So I thought that was kind

51:29

of neat, kind of bookending it there.

51:31

George Herbert Walker Bush coming in number

51:33

two there. Salt Lake City

51:36

is not. Wait

51:38

a minute. That's only 12. It's

51:42

still longer than Tallahassee at 11. I'm counting

51:44

on you guys to not leave me hanging on

51:54

this one. All right. Okay. Okay. Oh, gosh.

51:56

Oh, geez. Okay. All right. Last one. Here

51:58

we go. this

52:00

this one caught me by surprise.

52:02

I'll just say it that way. All right this

52:06

British band with

52:08

anarchist punk roots and

52:11

a nonsensical name holds

52:14

52:24

156 words All

52:43

Oh, yeah. Yeah pistols

52:46

52:49

53:11

word title Certified

53:13

Guinness Guinness World Records. I get knocked

53:15

down. You got it. Now. It's gonna

53:18

be in your head all night Everybody

53:21

Shush William Shatner has something

53:23

to say cat and Jethro box of oddities

53:25

What do you do when the woman you

53:28

love dies? Well, of course

53:30

you dig her up and you live with her The

53:32

show is salmon weird thing There

53:34

are plenty of old photographs from

53:36

this time period of children out

53:38

in the streets playing in and

53:40

among the dead horse carcasses Oh,

53:43

I miss those days things used

53:45

to be so much simpler cat

53:47

and Jethro Then there's the urine

53:49

wheel which sounds like a really

53:52

bad game show weird things Hat

53:58

and Jethro box That

54:01

is really mysterious. Joining

54:03

Pat and Chathril Gilligan-Taun

54:05

for the strange, the

54:08

bizarre, the unexpected, as

54:11

they lift the lid and

54:13

cautiously peer inside the

54:15

box of IVs. So what are

54:18

the award-winning box of IVs podcasts from their

54:20

Wave medium? Alright folks,

54:22

I got one last

54:25

quiz. It's

54:28

a bit of an experiment. We're gonna do some

54:30

things live. I see some excitement

54:32

and I see some nervousness. Alright, here we go.

54:35

Well, you know how we love

54:37

a good music round. You

54:40

know how we love a good music round with a

54:42

secret theme. You know, we kind of play and name

54:44

that tune. And the

54:46

songs are all connected in a certain way. And you

54:48

have to figure out what that theme is. So

54:51

this trivia game we're about to

54:54

play is not a music round. It's

54:56

definitely inspired by the process

54:58

of making a music round. Hmm.

55:02

Yeah, this is what we're gonna do. It's a write

55:04

down quiz. Each round, I mean

55:06

give us a prompt. It's

55:08

your job to write down what

55:11

you think is the most successful,

55:13

best-selling song that fits that prompt.

55:16

Okay. We'll reveal our answers. We'll look

55:18

it up. Whoever wrote down the most

55:20

successful song wins the round. I

55:23

like it. So for example, my

55:25

prompt is, give me a song that

55:27

has a person's name in the

55:29

title. Oh, okay. Okay. So

55:32

let's say Chris, you wrote down Billie

55:34

Jean. Colin, let's say

55:37

you wrote Sweet Caroline. Also,

55:39

very popular song. And let's say

55:41

I wrote down, there's different strategies. Because

55:43

I was like, oh, maybe a more

55:45

modern stream hit. That

55:48

goes viral. So I wrote down

55:50

Heather by Conan Gray and

55:52

we reveal our answers. And

55:54

then we'll, we'll look it up. So

55:56

Billie Jean, 10 million diamond certified.

56:00

units sold. Sweet Caroline, 1

56:03

million units sold. Heather,

56:05

4 million units

56:08

sold. So Billie Jean would

56:10

win. Okay, so

56:12

that's the format of listeners

56:14

play along. The method and

56:17

the metric and the source

56:19

where we will be using

56:21

is the RIAA Recording Industry

56:24

Association America of America, America

56:26

Certified Gold and or

56:28

Platinum Sales List. So basically

56:32

according to our IAA's formula,

56:34

if you hit certified

56:37

gold, that's half a million

56:39

units sold. Platinum when it's

56:41

1 million sold and then

56:43

they track every subsequent million.

56:46

So you get 2x

56:48

platinum, that means 2 million, 3x,

56:51

3 million and so forth until you hit 10

56:53

and that's diamond. But that's not to say

56:55

this is the only metric to measure success

56:57

in a song. This is just a metric

57:00

that we're using for the sake

57:02

of this game. So basically you have to

57:04

give me a song where the title clues

57:06

in and fits into the theme, not the

57:08

artist, just the song title. This

57:11

round, the theme is solar

57:14

system. Solar

57:17

system. Anything

57:23

that's part of the solar system

57:26

in the song title that

57:29

just needs to be best selling

57:32

enough. Okay.

57:34

Yeah, like I have one like do I

57:37

want to do I want to stick with

57:39

what's in the box? The box the box.

57:41

This is

57:44

a good quiz format, Taryn. I already like

57:47

it. You know, I wanted

57:49

to do something like what you did, which was

57:51

like the two is hard, three is

57:53

better. Oh, right, right, right. We

57:55

all have to write an answer that we think the other

57:57

person is going to put down versus avoid.

58:00

Yes, yeah, that one might have been lightning in

58:02

a bottle. All right, I got I got Okay,

58:06

Colin I wrote down fly me to the

58:08

moon All right, thank you and we could

58:10

also not for a hit and rack and

58:12

I got tons of sales I

58:14

put Probably better

58:16

put Venus because I was just thinking about you

58:19

know planets. Mmm, I've

58:21

been anorama I put drops

58:23

of Jupiter by I

58:27

love that. We've got different eras represented.

58:29

This is great. Fly me to

58:31

the moon. Not even on the list. Oh

58:34

Not even on the list and I'm

58:37

also searching for in other words Which is

58:39

also the the song song title flying it

58:41

to the moon and then Venus

58:46

Also Not on

58:48

the list. Oh Crack

58:50

I guess it's harder for singles. I guess

58:52

it's harder for singles than albums to sell

58:55

like certain number of units drops

58:57

of Jupiter by train eight

59:00

times Platinum

59:02

so eight million units

59:05

sold Wow, I

59:07

know that's a shocker, you know, I I thought

59:09

I was gonna put Venus too and I

59:11

was like, oh maybe black hole Sun Okay,

59:14

here we go. Next one

59:16

next round the theme is Colors,

59:21

please name a song where

59:23

there's a color in the title

59:29

Could it be Taylor

59:31

Swift song she's got a lot of colors

59:33

color names Lavender

59:35

haze Red could

59:38

it be a classic ready? Okay.

59:40

1:00:55

very strange because I really

1:00:57

have no connection between my perceived

1:00:59

popularity of the song like how

1:01:02

many copies did it

1:01:05

actually sell sell yeah

1:01:08

so that was that was I would say I would

1:01:10

say that was a pain point in this quiz because

1:01:12

at first I was gonna I didn't know which metric

1:01:14

to use at first I was like oh it's the

1:01:16

Spotify stream that seems like a little bit more on

1:01:18

the pulse but Spotify doesn't release

1:01:21

plays for every single song only

1:01:25

for like the popular like the popular

1:01:27

songs they'll tell you how many plays right

1:01:30

yeah old is one metric all

1:01:33

right non-human animals

1:01:36

Colin what'd you put her right I

1:01:38

I'm trying to like like find a

1:01:40

song that was attached to something popular

1:01:43

that would drive its success over many

1:01:45

years I put eye of the tiger

1:01:48

oh right all right

1:01:50

of course famously from the Rocky

1:01:53

movie yeah yeah sure again wild

1:01:55

card here I put who let

1:01:57

the dogs out Oh Oh

1:02:00

good guess, great guess. Whoa,

1:02:03

who let the dogs out,

1:02:05

hit three million. So,

1:02:07

went platinum three times.

1:02:10

Three million is the

1:02:12

number to beat. Let's

1:02:14

see, Eye of the Tiger,

1:02:16

eight million. Wow. Oh my

1:02:18

god, what? Eight million. Oh my gosh.

1:02:21

Yeah, there's like a sweet spot, you

1:02:23

know, like in terms of people buying

1:02:25

singles. Where it just hit over. Things

1:02:27

getting super popular, wow. I

1:02:29

think your attachment to the movie is a really

1:02:31

good guess. It's either nothing or incredibly

1:02:34

huge. Yeah, wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The

1:02:36

instrumental version went

1:02:40

certified gold. That's a hell

1:02:42

of a lot of fun. Like that was how popular it was,

1:02:44

yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Da, da, da,

1:02:46

da. All right, our next theme

1:02:48

is Days of the Week. The

1:02:51

song title must have

1:02:54

Days of the Week. I

1:02:56

will not recycle Blue Monday. Good, good,

1:02:58

good call. This is

1:03:00

hard one. Go

1:03:02

to the end of

1:03:05

the tiger. I'm

1:03:07

just gonna head off here. I'm not, I,

1:03:09

Chris, I do not wanna see you doing

1:03:11

like stay in

1:03:13

a life parentheses, the theme song

1:03:15

from Saturday Night Fever. Just I

1:03:17

know how your brain works, man.

1:03:20

I just, I'm warning you. I'm

1:03:22

warning you. Yeah. Yes,

1:03:26

the theme. Arthur's

1:03:28

theme. The

1:03:31

best thing you can do. Yeah. I

1:03:34

bet if that's the case, that's the number

1:03:36

one song. That probably is, yeah, all jokes

1:03:38

aside, if that is, if that is in fact the

1:03:40

actual name. But is there a song

1:03:42

called Saturday Night Fever? There's Night Fever. Yeah,

1:03:45

exactly. They're staying alive. But if that was

1:03:47

the case, I would, yeah. The

1:03:49

theme. It would have to be really in there. Okay,

1:03:51

all right. All right, I've

1:03:53

got Friday I'm in Love. By

1:03:56

The Cure. Oh, wow, we're in

1:03:58

Saint tonight. I was gonna say Monday. Monday

1:04:00

by the Mamas and the Papas and maybe maybe

1:04:02

changing was the wrong thing to do but I

1:04:04

then hit on the song Another

1:04:07

Saturday night, which I guess my

1:04:09

issue is that's been covered by

1:04:12

multiple people Are they mean like

1:04:14

one person version one

1:04:17

person's version, right? Okay, like cat Stevens. Well,

1:04:19

there's Sam Cooke and there's cat Stevens, but

1:04:21

I didn't actually write down anything So so

1:04:24

I'll tell you Monday Monday didn't hit

1:04:26

gold another Saturday Another Saturday

1:04:28

also didn't hit gold. Okay

1:04:30

Friday. I'm in love did

1:04:32

not hit gold. Oh, wow

1:04:35

Is there one? Oh, how about um Saturday

1:04:37

nights all right for fighting by Elton John?

1:04:40

I was thinking about that. Yes Beegees

1:04:47

the album Saturday Night Fever

1:04:50

hit platinum 16 times So

1:04:53

yeah million was just probably

1:04:56

the best performing songs

1:04:58

is Sunday Morning by maroon 5 Even

1:05:02

even Rebecca Black Friday hit Yeah

1:05:11

Gold Really

1:05:13

on essentially a novelty song. Yeah

1:05:15

Wow and funny her label the label

1:05:17

listed here is RB Friday Inc

1:05:20

Smart smart started her own company our last one

1:05:23

the theme is song

1:05:28

title that is a question Can

1:05:33

you put that in the form of

1:05:35

a question song title that's a question

1:05:37

doesn't have to end with a question mark I

1:05:51

will not I promise I will not I will not Never

1:05:55

we never resolved, you know

1:05:58

our long national nightmare Yeah. Who

1:06:01

wants to who? Who? In

1:06:03

all seriousness, I do think that's actually

1:06:05

a very solid guess, but I have

1:06:07

chosen to write down, do you

1:06:09

really want to hurt me? Ooh. It's

1:06:13

good. By Culture Club. I've written down

1:06:16

what's up by the four non-blondes. Oh,

1:06:18

nice. Oh, that was such

1:06:20

a big hit. I went a different

1:06:22

route. What's something that gets played in

1:06:24

my house a lot? Uh-huh. And I

1:06:26

put, do you want to build a

1:06:28

snowman? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Okay, good.

1:06:31

Are they selling that as a single? Are they selling that

1:06:33

as a single? Okay, okay. Yeah, I think that, yeah. All

1:06:35

right. Corned out blondes. What's

1:06:37

up? Hit gold. So, a million. And

1:06:39

what about, do you want to build a snowman?

1:06:43

Oh! Oh my gosh. Four

1:06:46

times platinum. Yeah. All

1:06:49

right. So, I just went back and I looked this

1:06:51

up because this all seemed a little weird to me.

1:06:53

The RIAA, prior to 1976, the highest award was a

1:06:56

gold. And

1:07:01

then they stopped counting because you got the gold

1:07:04

record and that was it. But that's good

1:07:06

enough. And then in

1:07:08

1976, they added the platinum award

1:07:10

because records were selling

1:07:13

more and more. But

1:07:15

then they did not automatically go back. If

1:07:17

the album kept selling or indeed if it

1:07:19

had already gotten a million but was prior

1:07:21

to 1976, they did not go back and

1:07:24

say, oh, this is actually platinum or

1:07:26

this is actually two X platinum. What

1:07:28

has happened is artists

1:07:31

have gone and fought to get

1:07:33

their stuff re-certified. Oh, certified. Because

1:07:35

they're like, well, you said this

1:07:37

is gold, but really it's like

1:07:40

4X platinum. You should give us

1:07:42

the 4X platinum. So they

1:07:44

don't automatically go back and

1:07:46

re-certify. So you have to go

1:07:48

and prove it. You have to

1:07:50

go fight for it, apparently. And

1:07:53

so certain artists have gone back and fought

1:07:55

for it, but then some have not.

1:07:58

Oh, oh no. I apologize

1:08:00

that this is a not so accurate

1:08:03

metric. Interesting. It seems very strange that

1:08:05

it's like a yellow submarine sold 500,000

1:08:07

copies. I just

1:08:09

on the side here, I pulled up

1:08:12

the RIAA rules here and I'm sure

1:08:14

you saw these as well. They have

1:08:16

some very interesting formulas here about how

1:08:19

on demand streams are like

1:08:21

considered fractional amounts of a

1:08:24

physical unit sale. So

1:08:26

they have this formula where they come up with

1:08:28

units. It's very interesting. I also noticed here way

1:08:30

at the bottom of all the lists of things

1:08:32

that they track is the Master

1:08:35

Ringtone Award, which is

1:08:37

given out for songs

1:08:39

that clock more than

1:08:41

500,000 ringtone sales.

1:08:46

What a snapshot. That's how it

1:08:48

feels. Wow, what a blast from

1:08:50

the past. Yes, you used to

1:08:52

go on iTunes and you can

1:08:55

buy the ringtone versions of things. Some

1:08:57

people more than 500,000. What's

1:09:02

number one? Who's re-tone one?

1:09:07

Apparently, they tracked ringtone

1:09:09

chart sales through 2015.

1:09:13

They don't track them apparently anymore. So

1:09:16

this record might never be broken.

1:09:18

Apparently, Lil Wayne holds

1:09:20

the record for the best

1:09:22

selling ringtone of all time

1:09:24

for Lollipop. More

1:09:27

than 5 million

1:09:29

multi-platinum ringtone certification

1:09:31

among Lil Wayne's

1:09:34

many other accomplishments.

1:09:36

Accolades. All right.

1:09:38

a lasting effect on people. Lindsay from Sacramento

1:11:31

said... Pro tip, 40 degrees is the perfect

1:11:33

temperature for an ice cold Dr. Pepper. Why

1:11:36

is 40 degrees the perfect temperature for Dr.

1:11:38

Pepper? We brought in Sue from Duluth, Minnesota to

1:11:40

tell us. Oh yeah, I know a thing or two

1:11:42

about cold. Oh, that right there is the

1:11:44

perfect kind of ice cold for Dr. Pepper. Mmm,

1:11:47

I'd share that with my friend Nancy. She likes

1:11:49

Dr. Pepper too, you know. My coldest... Alright, that'll

1:11:51

be all, Sue. Having a perfect temperature for

1:11:53

your Dr. Pepper? It's a Pepper thing. Inspired
