the IGN Daily Update, wherever you

get your podcasts. Recorded

0:37

in Chicago, Illinois with

0:39

your hosts, Ken, Matt,

0:41

Neil, and Jeff, this

0:43

is Triviality. Hello

0:51

and welcome to Triviality, the game where

0:53

lack of seriousness meets a little bit

0:55

of knowledge. My name is Ken, we

0:58

got Jeff, we got Neil, we

1:00

got Matt. What's going on boys? We're

1:03

all here. Are we allowed to talk to you now? No,

1:06

not yet, because I'm still thinking of a team name. Is

1:09

that a fresh Cubs hat Matt? It looks brand new. It

1:11

is a fresh Cubs hat. I'm excited. They're

1:13

tentatively good this year. You know who

1:15

else is tentatively good this year? I

1:17

might watch Bears games now. Oh, Caleb.

1:19

Caleb Williams, he was at the

1:22

Cubs game yesterday. Not to date this. It's

1:24

fateful that you are wearing a Cubs hat because

1:26

you are in fact the person who decided to

1:28

put the troughs in Wrigley Field,

1:30

right? Originally, yeah. You're in

1:32

a troughs. They took them out. They're gone.

1:35

Why would I want privacy? Communal effect. Yeah,

1:38

I think I've seen everyone use a trough at Wrigley, no

1:40

matter the sex. That's what baseball games get

1:42

for you. Yeah,

1:44

just runs right into the Budweiser factory. Well,

1:46

you said the Cubs are doing really well

1:48

today, or at least recently. The Bears have

1:50

a very strong team, but we have a

1:52

very strong team for us today. We have

1:54

some draft picks we'd like to introduce here

1:56

to have a great episode, starting with our

1:58

hosts. Yeah,

8:01

so the answers we were looking for

8:03

are deciduous and evergreen. Also

8:05

would have accepted conifer. Most

8:07

conifers, or I think all conifers

8:10

are evergreens, but not all evergreens

8:12

are necessarily conifers. But

8:14

yeah, deciduous trees are ones that lose their

8:16

leaves or their needles throughout the year. And

8:19

then evergreens, as the name says, they're just

8:21

always green. And they keep

8:23

their little leaves and needles. Nice.

8:27

I was going to make a conifer Lopez joke, but I didn't.

8:31

You showed great restraint, Neil. All right.

8:35

Question number two is about Star

8:37

Wars. Yesterday was May the

8:39

4th. And

8:42

this was something that was once presented in a

8:44

PowerPoint party. So here's a question about Star Wars.

8:47

So in 2019, Disney launched

8:49

Disney Plus. And with that, a number of

8:51

shows taking place in the Star Wars universe.

8:54

Name the show that premiered in 2021

8:56

and follows a group of clone troopers

8:59

that have genetic mutations, resisting them from

9:01

order 66. Casey

9:05

seems very excited. Locked in, Casey.

9:08

I love Star Wars. If

9:11

you know it, you can lock in for us. All right. So

9:14

they're pretty confident. Do you know this series with

9:16

the stormtroopers? Is

9:20

this ring in a bell? The

9:23

bad batch? That's not what it's

9:25

called. Yeah. All right. We're going to see

9:27

the bad batch, which is close to Jeff's

9:29

nickname, but just one letter

9:31

off. Bad patch. Yeah.

9:35

Yeah. The answer is

9:37

the bad batch. I have not watched

9:39

the show myself personally, but I

9:41

am currently working through the Clone Wars animated

9:43

series. So excited to eventually get to the

9:45

bad batch. All right. Question

9:48

number three is inspired by my

9:50

friend, Grace's PowerPoint presentation board game

9:52

pieces I would put into my

9:54

mouth. You

14:00

know about Sumo, if anything, Casey. Very

14:03

little. Um, I know that they

14:05

are excellent athletes. That's about all I got. Yeah.

14:08

I'm trying to think of the clue for

14:10

the other wrestling, uh, division and yeah,

14:14

nothing's really coming to me right now. I'm like drawing

14:16

a blank. Um, yeah,

14:19

I'm not gonna, I don't think I'm going to be able to pull

14:21

it on my end. Unfortunately. Yeah.

14:23

Should we just go with a guess? You think? Yeah.

14:26

I think, I think a guess is what we got. All

14:28

right. We'll go with the coniferous division. Love

14:31

it. Love it. Uh, we're gonna, we're gonna

14:33

go with a Yoko Zuna. Yep.

14:36

The answer is Yoko Zuna. Um,

14:40

yeah, this question was written for Matt. There's

14:43

no playing, but Yoko Zuna was also the

14:45

name of a famous WWE wrestler in the

14:47

nineties. Um, but yeah,

14:49

Sumo is something that I started following in

14:51

the last six months or so, it's a

14:53

super fun sport to follow. Uh, there've been,

14:55

I think 73 Yoko Zunas

14:57

in Sumo history, um, which is not a

15:00

lot. Yeah, exactly. What

15:03

history are you going to try and do some Sumo yourself? You

15:07

know, I think my, uh, my Sumo dreams have passed

15:09

me. All

15:11

right. After five, uh, pretty

15:13

good scores on both sides here, expecting,

15:15

uh, what to expect when podcasting

15:18

it with 40 points so

15:20

far, uh, doula 30 points.

15:23

Do la magada. Is that right? Am I saying it

15:25

right? A Blanca 30 points. Anyone's

15:28

game. All right. Question number

15:30

six. Uh, this

15:32

is just, this is not related to any power points

15:34

that are presented, but, uh, we've got a before and

15:36

after question. So I

15:39

want you to give me the 12th

15:41

largest fast food chain in the world

15:43

started in San Bernardino, California, combined with

15:45

the pen name of an author known

15:47

for her writings on race, feminism, and

15:49

class. All right. Casey

15:52

and I talked about this one and we're just not

15:54

coming up with, uh, with some good answers

15:56

that makes sense. And we just don't want to say one that doesn't make sense.

15:58

So we're just going to tap on this. one. So

16:01

have read this author quite

16:03

a bit and believe it or not that's

16:06

where my mind went and mostly confirmed at

16:08

the restaurant quite a bit as well. Yes

16:10

I have. This mostly confirmed my my suspicion

16:12

about the restaurant though and we believe

16:15

and if correct this is my favorite before and

16:17

after I've ever had Taco

16:20

Bell hooks. Yep

16:22

that is correct the answer you're looking

16:24

for is Taco Bell hooks. So

16:27

Bell hooks was born Gloria

16:29

Jean Watkins. Yes

16:31

published many books some

16:35

notable ones being a NIA woman black

16:37

woman in feminism and feminist

16:39

theory from margin to center and

16:42

also nachos del grande. Yeah

16:47

Bell hooks my favorites that I read

16:49

when I did like

16:52

philosophy inquiries in in gender studies

16:54

in college so. Yeah

16:57

that was inspired by me getting some Taco Bell a

16:59

few days ago. I stayed

17:03

on the thought of it. Both institutions

17:05

in their own right. Yeah. Alright

17:11

question number seven is about animals. Cheetahs

17:14

are the fastest animals on land clocking in

17:17

at over 60 miles per hour. The

17:19

flat the fastest flight speed of an animal has been

17:21

registered at over 240 miles per hour. This bird can

17:26

be found anywhere from the tundra to

17:29

the tropics and in most environments except

17:31

for the extreme poles and tropical rainforests.

17:34

What is this bird of prey? Well

17:36

I kind of think we can lock in. Yeah

17:38

also I feel about this bird the way Neil

17:40

feels about the jaguar. I was gonna say it's

17:42

funny you should say that because I was thinking

17:44

even though cheetahs are fast do they really have

17:46

the bite force of a jaguar? What are they

17:48

even doing here? They don't. After

17:50

they run their top speed they pass out and they die from

17:53

other animals. But Casey

17:55

you feel it you said you know this one I think. I'm

17:58

pretty locked in on this one I'm pretty sure. Uh, go

18:00

ahead and say it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What do you think

18:02

it is? I think it's the peregrine Falcon. All

18:05

right. So the peregrine Falcon, if I, if

18:07

my history serves me right, also runs a

18:10

home for peculiar children. Uh,

18:14

yeah. What do you guys think? Did you know studies

18:16

of the beak of this animal were used to model

18:18

the bullet train? We

18:20

said peregrine Falcon as well. Yeah.

18:24

The answer is peregrine Falcon. Uh, that is a

18:26

really fun fact about the beak of the peregrine

18:28

Falcon. I didn't know that. I

18:30

don't know if it's the bullet train or other

18:32

bullet trains, but they've definitely been studying, um,

18:35

there's a lot of interesting things coming out of the world

18:37

of studying biology for purposes of

18:39

mechanical engineering. The, the new, uh, the

18:41

new trains that go even faster. They

18:44

modeled after my schnoz. All

18:49

right. Question number eight is about literature.

18:53

Ronald Knox in English Catholic priest.

18:57

In radio broadcaster, uh, was

18:59

also an author and is responsible for creating

19:01

the 10 commandments for a certain genre of

19:03

literature. These 10 commandments went on

19:05

to be influential in the golden age of this

19:07

genre, um, and an example of

19:09

one of these commandments, uh, is

19:12

twin brothers and brothers generally must not

19:14

appear unless we have been duly prepared.

19:17

I know this one, Casey, if you trust me. Oh

19:20

yeah. Okay. We're going to like, we're going to lock

19:22

in. So twin

19:24

brothers would probably not be

19:27

a big problem in literature unless you

19:29

were gonna like put

19:31

it on stage, right? Then you'd be

19:33

like, Oh, we need to find

19:35

some twins. So maybe it's playwriting.

19:38

I like that. Okay. Uh, we're

19:40

going to actually say that, uh, Ronald Knox

19:43

has the 10 commandments of detective fiction. The

19:45

answer is detective fiction. Um, also would

19:48

have accepted murder mystery or anything. Some

19:50

are related to that genre. There's going to be one of

19:52

these things Neil liked. So good guess. Yeah, right. Yeah,

19:55

it was a good guess. Yeah. Uh,

19:57

but my favorite of the 10 commandments

19:59

is, uh, The sidekick of the detective

20:01

or the Watson must not conceal

20:03

from the reader any thoughts which pass through

20:05

his mind. His intelligence must

20:07

be slightly, but very slightly below that

20:10

of the average reader. Yeah,

20:12

that's true. It happens quite a bit. My

20:14

favorite commandment is thou shall not kill without

20:16

purpose to draft the plot, so. And

20:19

if Dutch boy is mentioned in the first

20:21

act of the podcast, he must do an

20:23

impression in the later half. All

20:25

right, like Chekhov's gun. Yeah. Chekhov's

20:29

Dutch boy. I was hoping for the Maltese

20:31

impression. All right, moving on

20:33

to question nine. Question nine

20:35

is about anime. So dating

20:37

back to the 1980s. I was

20:40

going to say that. Maybe

20:43

not. We'll see. Yeah,

20:45

so dating back to the 1980s, the Dragon

20:47

Ball franchise is one of the most widely

20:49

recognized series amongst manga and anime enjoyers as

20:51

well as the general public. Recently,

20:54

the creator of the series passed away. There

20:56

is a global response of admiration from

20:58

other creators, actors, and even political figures.

21:01

Who was the creator of the Dragon Ball series?

21:03

Elected. OK, Casey, I'm

21:05

familiar with the show. I read the news of

21:07

the creator passing away. I just can't pull the

21:09

name. Do you know this one? Oh,

21:12

yeah, this is the joke on Akira Toriyama. Yep,

21:15

we also said Akira Toriyama. That

21:19

is correct. The answer is Akira Toriyama. One

21:22

of my favorites, one of my favorite

21:24

posts in memory of him is

21:26

from Justin Chatwin, who plays Jimmy or Stephen

21:28

Shameless. Also played Goku in

21:30

the live action adaptation and just posted a

21:33

photo apologizing to him for messing

21:35

it up so badly. It

21:38

wasn't his fault. Let's put

21:40

it that way. It takes a village. There's

21:44

going to be a lot of apologies over the

21:46

next 20 years. It's going to be like that.

21:48

I don't know if you guys ever heard the

21:50

commentary on Batman and Robin, where the director just

21:52

kind of starts apologizing aggressively. Question

21:57

number 10 is about corn dogs.

22:01

The origin of the corn dog is a highly debated

22:03

topic. There are arguments

22:06

for Texas, Minnesota, and Illinois all

22:08

laying claim to the creation of the corn

22:11

dog. What can't be debated

22:13

is that Stanley Jenkins was the original patent holder

22:15

for the corn dog. In

22:17

what year was the patent filed? This

22:20

patent filing may have been more important

22:23

than other historical happenings that year, such

22:25

as Leon Trotsky being expelled from the

22:27

Soviet Communist Party or Charles Lindbergh taking

22:29

off for the first nonstop transatlantic flight.

22:33

And we'll give you a leeway of two years. Yeah,

22:36

that's about where I was thinking. All right,

22:40

we're gonna go ahead and lock in. So I'm

22:42

not sure if you know a lot about the corn

22:44

dog, Casey. I don't, but I'm

22:46

trying to- You are a corn dog. I am a corn dog.

22:49

I like to lather myself in- Batter.

22:51

Batter. But

22:54

yeah, I'm thinking maybe like late 20s. What are you thinking?

22:57

I'm thinking late 20s. I'm thinking, I don't know

22:59

why the 1929 popped

23:01

out in my head. I've

23:06

got like 50% on that one. Okay.

23:09

I mean, that's, that's, if it's within two, that gives us 27, which is

23:11

good. So we get 27 to 29

23:16

if I remember. So yeah,

23:19

let's go. We can go 29. And

23:23

we said 1927. Awesome.

23:25

So yeah, the year we were looking for is 1927.

23:28

So I would have accepted anything

23:30

from 1925 to 1929. And 1929 was the

23:33

year that the patent was actually granted to Stanley Jenkins. Oh,

23:40

that's what you're thinking of, Casey, is when it was granted to him.

23:42

Exactly. I was just thinking about the end of the year though. Yeah,

23:47

if you ever have just like some spare

23:49

time, I would definitely recommend going in and

23:51

like reading some of like what

23:53

was written on the original patent filing.

23:56

I forgot to copy and paste some of it

23:58

over as flavor text. But it's all

24:00

about apparatuses for dipping and holding

24:02

food. Well,

24:05

if you want something fun to check out, check out the

24:07

patent for the shoes from

24:09

Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. You can see the drawings of

24:11

how they work when he leans really forward, he doesn't fall.

24:13

With the hook in the floor. With the hook in the

24:16

floor, yeah. If you look that up, they have all the

24:18

drawings and everything. He's a cheat. I

24:20

actually have a copy of a patent,

24:22

five million something, hanging up on my

24:24

wall and it's Richard Garfield's application for

24:26

Magic the Gathering. Mm-hmm. All

24:29

right, after the first round, what you

24:31

expect when you're podcasting is a lot

24:34

of points today because they have 80

24:36

points going into the halftime break while

24:38

Doula Omblongata with 70. So

24:41

as my Doula Omblongata

24:43

is suggesting, it is anyone's game. Is

24:45

that what your Abdulla Omblongata is doing? That's

24:47

all it does, is it just tabulates if

24:49

it's anyone's game or not. Right now, it

24:51

is. My gata is telling

24:53

me it's time for a Patreon drop. Yeah,

24:56

I think you're right. For

24:58

people at home who aren't sure what Patreon is, we talk

25:00

about it quite a bit. You can come support the show

25:02

at patreon.com/trivialitypodcasts. Yes, for as little

25:05

as $1 a month, you

25:07

get all of our newest episodes ad-free. But if you'd like to go up

25:09

to the $5 a month tier, you

25:13

get a bunch of fun perks like stickers

25:15

and just loads and loads of bonus audio

25:18

content, including weekly Patreon bonuses since the

25:20

beginning of this year, which I think is really fun, Ken. Yes.

25:24

Jeff, you agree? Oh, I do. I

25:28

was thinking about the one time when we used to do wagers

25:31

and some of the ridiculous videos that we

25:33

made and posted on our Patreon feed, exclusive

25:35

to patrons as well. We could do some

25:37

more of those, too. Yeah, the baguette jousting,

25:39

which took us about 20 minutes to film

25:41

and about eight hours of Neil to over-edit.

25:44

So it's a gift. I

25:47

don't know if you want it, but it's a gift. If

25:50

you'd like this gift, go

25:52

to patreon.com/trivialitypodcast. And

25:55

let's move right on to the swing round. Ethan,

25:57

what do you have for us today? Four.

26:00

For today's Swing Round is

26:02

going to be about geography. So

26:05

in honor of Asian American, Native

26:07

Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which

26:09

is the month of May, we're going

26:11

to test your geography knowledge specifically

26:14

about the Pacific Islands. So

26:17

Pacific Islands are generally broken up into

26:19

three different regions, Melanesia,

26:21

Micronesia, and Polynesia. For

26:24

today's Swing Round, I'm going to give you

26:27

10 different countries or group

26:29

of islands, and

26:31

your job is to identify which of the

26:33

three Pacific Island regions it is located. Okay,

26:35

I'm just going to set my notebook and

26:38

pen down here and let Jeff do it.

26:43

Number one, Vanuatu. Number

26:47

two, Palau. Number

26:51

three, Samoa. Number

26:55

four, Marquesas Islands. Number

27:00

five, Guam. Number

27:04

six, Fiji. Number

27:08

seven, the Cook Islands. Number

27:13

eight, Marshall Islands. Number

27:17

nine, the Solomon Islands. Number

27:20

10, Tonga. All

27:23

right, we have the questions for the Swing

27:25

Round. We'll be right back with our best

27:27

answers. We

27:33

are back and locked in with our Swing

27:35

Round answers, so let's go ahead and get

27:37

those islands one more time and we'll see

27:40

if we know where they are. All

27:43

right, so number one, Vanuatu. We

27:47

said Melanesia. So, so did we. Melanesia

27:50

for that one. Here's the open.

27:52

And Melanesia is correct. Number

27:56

two, Palau. Again,

27:58

we said Melanesia. We

28:01

said Micronesia for that one. Yeah,

28:04

so Palau is Micronesia.

28:07

Number three, Samoa. Polynesia.

28:11

Famesies. Yeah, probably

28:14

one of the better known ones, but Samoa

28:16

is Polynesia. Number

28:18

four, the Marquesas Islands. We

28:21

said Melanesia. Polynesia

28:24

with very little fervor

28:27

behind it. Yeah,

28:30

so the Marquesas Islands are indeed in

28:32

Polynesia. Number five

28:34

is Guam. We

28:37

said Micronesia. Okay, so yeah, we definitely said

28:39

Micronesia on that one. Yeah,

28:41

so the answer, Guam is located

28:43

in Micronesia, Guam being

28:46

where my ancestral roots are. Cool,

28:48

nice. If I did not get

28:50

that right, my godson's mother, Audie,

28:52

would have killed me. Yeah,

28:55

I heard you talking about your tomorrow

28:57

godson. Yeah, I would have tomorrow, so

28:59

I'm glad to hear that. Yeah, cool.

29:03

Number six, Fiji. We

29:05

said Melanesia. We

29:07

also said Melanesia. And

29:10

both teams are correct. Fiji is in Melanesia. Number

29:13

seven, Cook Islands. Pretty

29:16

sure that's Polynesia. We

29:19

also said Polynesia. And

29:21

both teams are correct. Cook Islands are in Polynesia.

29:25

Number eight, the Marshall Islands. We

29:28

said Micronesia. Okay.

29:32

Both teams are correct again. Marshall

29:34

Islands are in Micronesia. Number

29:38

nine, the Solomon Islands. Yep,

29:41

roll it back. We said Micronesia. Yeah,

29:44

we said Melanesia. One

29:47

team getting points, Solomon Islands are

29:49

in Melanesia. And

29:52

then number 10, Tonga. Polynesia.

29:57

Polynesia. Both

29:59

teams are correct. Correct. Tonga is in

30:02

Polynesia. So, yeah, the Polynesian ones definitely

30:04

have more like the more well-known larger

30:07

countries. But just

30:10

a general breakdown. Melanesia kind of

30:12

like the southwest portion of the

30:14

Pacific Islands. Micronesia being a little

30:16

bit more northwest and definitely being

30:18

smaller. And then Polynesia taking up

30:20

basically everything else. Well,

30:22

I feel like I have Amnesia after

30:24

that round. But both teams doing pretty well.

30:27

Matt, where are the scores at? All

30:30

right. After the swing round, we're seeing a

30:32

little bit of separation. What to expect from

30:34

podcasting up to one hundred and thirty points

30:36

already. Not too far behind is

30:38

Dua La Melgada with one oh five. But

30:40

as we all know, it is anyone's game

30:42

going into the second round. All

30:45

right, Ethan, let's jump into round two. All

30:48

right. Round two was inspired

30:50

by my family's group chat. It's

30:53

very unhinged and it's kind of

30:55

just a variety of topics. So

30:58

felt very fitting to be able to pull

31:00

topics from my family's group chat. So

31:02

thanks, family. Now, are you going

31:04

to do a PowerPoint to your family about your group chat? Oh,

31:09

man, that feels like a lot. It's

31:12

weird. Anyways, question

31:16

number one is about Panera

31:18

Bread. So Panera

31:20

Bread was in a recent controversy, having released a

31:23

drink that contained almost 400 milligrams

31:25

of caffeine in a single large serving. They

31:28

are currently involved in three separate

31:30

lawsuits involving deaths and health complications

31:32

related to the drink. What

31:34

is the name of this drink? I

31:37

think we can lock in if

31:39

you trust me here. I'm

31:42

pretty sure I have half of it. So if you were to bring

31:44

it in, I'd be like, yeah, that's it. That's it. Oh, that's it. OK.

31:47

All right. We're going to lock in. All

31:49

right. Do you have one of these, Jeff? Oh,

31:52

the Kitty Refreshers. Every morning, Jeff's got

31:54

one. I think

31:56

they're called charged something, right? Could be,

31:58

yeah. Charged tea,

32:01

charged lemonade, maybe charge

32:04

lemonade. Yeah.

32:07

Let's say charged lemonade

32:09

and Casey you're drinking one right now. No,

32:13

no, I can't do that. I will get palpitations.

32:15

I'm not planning on having, um,

32:17

so yeah, charged lemonade for sure. I think

32:19

three of them had like enough to put

32:21

a guy in the hospital. And

32:24

both teams are correct. Uh, it is charged lemonade.

32:27

Uh, since the lawsuits came about, they've reduced

32:29

the amount of caffeine almost in half, uh,

32:31

but it's still a lot. So

32:34

now you have to drink four to end up

32:36

in the hospital. Oh

32:42

my God. I chase it with a charge for

32:44

local drink for them to keep up with how

32:46

much I don't understand the caffeine culture. Sure.

32:50

Why can't we just go back to OPM? Like the good

32:52

old days. I

32:54

feel like the future is just people being

32:56

like, witness me and like throwing charged lemonade

32:58

in their faces, like getting ready

33:00

for battle on the, on the wasteland. Speaking

33:03

of opium, we don't have any like good

33:05

dense, you know, I mean, my, my nice

33:07

to have like a coffee den. Yeah. Yeah.

33:10

Like next door to a hookah place. There's a coffee den,

33:12

a pastry den. I'd like

33:14

to go into a place like Johnny Depp and from

33:16

hell and eat a lot of pastries, but then lay

33:18

amongst other people in beds with my arm sticking

33:21

out like passed out. We need some, we

33:23

need a den culture to come back. Yeah.

33:28

Oh, that's not how you guys do drip coffee. All

33:34

right. Question number two, uh, is

33:37

about Philadelphia. So

33:39

the cheesesteak was created in Philadelphia sometime in the

33:41

1930s, uh, by Pat

33:43

and Harry Oliveri. The

33:45

main ingredients being beef, onions,

33:48

bread, and cheese. There

33:50

are three different types of cheeses that are

33:52

most common on the cheesesteak for

33:55

half points named two and full points

33:57

name all three. All

33:59

right. Yeah, we are locked in.

34:03

So I see a yellowish cheese. I'm

34:05

imagining it's cheddar. Yeah. Do

34:08

you think it's yellow? I

34:10

think some of it's white cheeses though, right?

34:12

I'm not saying that there's three cheeses. I'm

34:15

saying the yellowish is from

34:17

a maybe a cheddar. When I say aged

34:19

cheddar. Medium? That's typical to have the yellow

34:21

on it. I would say some yellow cheese.

34:24

Okay, so yellow. Now another cheese

34:26

I'm imagining which is which is quite good for

34:28

this type of thing is Maybe

34:30

a little Swiss. I'll throw a little Swiss cheese. It's too

34:32

much Provolone at least.

34:34

Provolone. Yeah, Provolone's got a flavor

34:36

though. What about mozzarella? Mozzarella?

34:40

Okay, you want to go with a

34:42

mozzarella or parm? Provolone, parm,

34:44

and cheddar. Why parmesan cheese?

34:46

Parmesan's a really hard cheese.

34:49

Okay, you know, I don't know. I

34:51

feel like you guys have never eaten a Philly cheese.

34:53

I don't think I have. I don't know what's on

34:55

them. I don't have to know what's on them. Also,

34:57

I don't think I've had one. You only get a

34:59

good Philly if someone verbally assaults you when you order

35:01

it. I was gonna say I got yelled at at

35:03

both pats and genomes for not knowing what kind of

35:05

cheese it was. All right, Swiss? We'll say Swiss? Why

35:08

are you changing it now? Why are we not going to

35:10

Provolone? Because I think there's more... We

35:13

are saying Provolone. You don't go Swiss, but

35:15

not mozzarella. So cheddar and Provolone are our

35:17

answer answers and then our bonus will

35:20

be Swiss. For full points.

35:22

Yeah, okay. All

35:24

right, I'll let you take it Casey. We agreed on all

35:26

friends. Yeah, so definitely

35:29

Provolone for sure. We're

35:31

thinking white American as well. And then,

35:33

Jeff, you were talking about some yellow

35:35

orange cheese. I'm thinking that's cheese whiz

35:38

in this situation. Yeah,

35:41

Casey nailed it. The three cheeses

35:43

are American, more specifically

35:45

white American, Provolone and

35:47

cheese whiz. I'm

35:49

almost glad I've never had one. No,

35:52

you'd love it though. I know you would love it.

35:54

So we get zero points for Provolone. I know. I'm

35:57

a garbage baby. It's fun. It is a fantastic sandwich.

36:01

Yeah, I prefer provolone but cheese whiz is

36:04

actually pretty good too. Yeah, whiz

36:06

with that's the way to eat it. If

36:08

you guys are in the know. Matt's

36:10

not in the test sandwich in Philly though. That's

36:13

the that's the broccoli rod pork sandwich. That thing

36:15

is nuts. I've never heard of a broccoli rod

36:17

pork sandwich, but that sounds interesting. All

36:20

right. Question number three is

36:22

about portmanteaus. So portmanteaus

36:25

are when the sounds and meanings of words

36:27

are combined into one such as brunch being

36:29

a combination of breakfast and lunch. What

36:32

is Botox or portmanteau of? Yeah, we

36:34

can lock in. I got that one. Oh,

36:37

do you know this one Casey? I do. So

36:40

I believe that's botulism toxin. Okay.

36:43

I trust you because when I heard portmanteaus, I

36:45

thought of two things. I thought of Quentin Tarantino

36:48

and stuff. I'm not very good at. So I'm

36:50

fine going with botulism toxin. If you feel good

36:52

about it. I do. Try

36:55

to try to sell it if it's

36:57

called botulism toxin. That's why we call

36:59

it Botox. We agree. We

37:02

said botulism toxin. A great reason for making sure

37:04

that your cans are cooked before they're delivered to

37:06

the grocery store. Or

37:09

how to go to your cans. Both

37:13

teams are saving points. Botulism

37:16

toxin is the answer. Good band

37:19

name. And remember, if your

37:21

can is dented, rusty or

37:23

bulging, throw it out. Is

37:26

it wrong if my can is bulging? No, it'll

37:28

just make it look like you no longer care

37:30

about anything. If your can is bulging, definitely don't

37:33

eat the contents of the can.

37:35

Oh, I don't open the can. Oh, we're

37:37

talking about you'll probably kill your entire building.

37:39

Okay. All right. Moving

37:42

on to question number four, which is

37:44

a sports question. In

37:47

2021, the NCAA introduced the

37:50

NIL to collegiate sports, which

37:53

allowed specific rules and

37:55

pathways for collegiate and amateur athletes to

37:57

get paid from brand deals and sponsorship

37:59

opportunities. What

38:01

does the acronym NIL stand for?

38:05

Okay, so they're tapping Casey. I

38:08

follow a lot of athletes that have taken advantage of this.

38:10

Obviously our new quarterback here in Chicago, Caleb Williams

38:13

is another new quarterback. Another

38:15

new quarterback. See how it turns out this

38:17

time. Yes, he is kind

38:19

of raking in the NIL money. I'm

38:21

pretty sure this is name image likeness.

38:25

All right, and one team receiving points. NIL

38:28

stands for name image likeness. I

38:31

also would have accepted what

38:33

WWE is doing currently. They

38:36

have their Next In Line program, which

38:39

is like a pathway for collegiate

38:42

athletes to start performing in the

38:44

WWE. But yeah, name, image and

38:46

likeness. I could see

38:48

you in the WWE then. I don't know why. I just feel like I

38:50

could. I've thought about what

38:52

my persona would be, but I don't

38:55

know. I think the mustache is a good start. That

38:58

could be a persona in itself. Got the Rick Rude

39:00

look going, maybe. I think you're pretty. I'm almost positive

39:02

you're pretty jacked. I can't really tell from under your

39:04

hoodie, but I assume you are. You like climb mountains

39:06

and stuff. So thank you. Yeah. I

39:12

would love to be athletic and do like

39:14

Lucha. That stuff's cool. But then we can't

39:16

see the stash. He

39:19

has a cut out for the stash. It's just the

39:21

stash. Is

39:23

there what's the Spanish stash hole? Was

39:25

there a Spanish word for my stash?

39:27

Stash hole. Let me see. The

39:30

Spanish word for moustache is bigote. Is that

39:32

you didn't know that? El Bogote. That's a

39:34

great name. El Bogote. And it's just your

39:36

stash hanging out. Oh, man, that

39:39

flows nicely. All right. Thanks to

39:41

Ponderon as I'm working this week.

39:44

Cool. All right. Question number five is

39:47

about hip hop. So

39:50

there have been many famous instruments throughout music

39:52

history, such as the Gibson Les

39:54

Paul and the Fender Stratocaster for guitars. What

39:57

types of instruments are the Lin? LM1

40:01

the Oberheim DMX and

40:03

the Roland TR 909 and

40:05

to clarify these are all one type of instrument

40:08

Okay, I got this one. We're locked in.

40:10

Yep I was hoping he was gonna

40:12

ask about the Roland 808 Which

40:15

is a drum? Track synthesizer.

40:17

I want to say but yeah,

40:19

so do we want to see drum machines? Or

40:22

is this a synthesizer? I Think

40:25

it's a drum machine. I'm okay with drum

40:27

machine. I Mean synthesizers

40:30

too or turntables Hmm

40:34

since it's hip-hop now. I got two turntables on

40:36

a microphone But

40:40

the answer I don't know where I'll let you

40:42

I'll let you choose between those well,

40:45

we'll say drum machine, okay drum

40:47

machine In

40:50

both teams receiving points these are all

40:52

famous models of drum machines I

40:55

omitted the TR 808 because that's probably the

40:57

most famous one of all time All

41:00

right after the first half of the

41:02

second round what to expect when podcasting

41:04

Perfect adding 50 points of their total

41:06

bringing them up to 180 Lacking

41:10

behind just a little bit do a lumbar

41:12

gata with 135. So

41:15

let's get into the second half of this round All

41:18

right moving on to question number six. This

41:21

is a lyrics question So

41:23

I want you to name this 1997

41:26

Grammy nominated song by former

41:28

contestants of the masked singer

41:30

and Here are the

41:32

lyrics You have so

41:34

many relationships in this life Only

41:37

one or two will last you go through

41:39

all this pain and strife then you turn

41:41

your back and they're gone so fast We

41:44

can lock in Casey Big

41:46

masked singer fan. No, I just song

41:49

I will probably go to my grave

41:51

Big fan of the song He's

41:54

a big fan of the song. Is this an o-town song? Maybe

41:57

I mean You know,

41:59

you know me with lyrics questions especially

42:01

pop music forget it what

42:04

do you what do you think you think

42:06

O-town is it too early for O-town? I don't think so

42:08

1997 or is it in sync? It's

42:11

not gonna do Mass Singer though

42:14

are they? Maybe one of them

42:16

would. Backstreet Boys might. Chris did

42:18

actually. He's got nothing going on. We're

42:23

gonna say the name of the song

42:25

is Through the Years. No I want

42:27

to say liquid dreams because liquid dreams

42:29

liquid dreams yeah so

42:31

the funny thing about this song Casey mentioned

42:34

it to me while we were discussing this

42:36

song was actually inspired by

42:38

Millard Fillmore and what he

42:41

would say when he climaxed

42:43

so we said mmm bop

42:45

by Hansen. I just

42:47

edited an episode where I missed an mmm

42:49

bop question. That

42:54

one team is correct it is mmm bop

42:56

by Hansen. Yeah Chris

42:58

was on Mass Singer yeah from NSYNC.

43:01

If you read the lyrics oom bop doop doop doop doop

43:03

doop doop doop doop doop doop. So

43:07

which is the pinnacle of songwriting? Which Hansen was

43:10

on the Mass Singer? You

43:12

know you just have to go watch and find

43:15

out for yourselves. The one with the long hair?

43:17

All three of them were. Oh that was a

43:19

trio okay. Yeah you

43:22

you can pick them out like almost instantly like as

43:24

soon as they start singing you're like oh yeah those

43:26

harmonies. Yeah moving on to question

43:28

number seven. This question is

43:31

about lakes. So by

43:33

volume Lake Superior is the largest lake

43:35

in the United States. By

43:38

depth the deepest lake in the United

43:40

States is not Lake Superior. This

43:43

lake is 1949 feet deep at its lowest point and can

43:45

be found on a license plate design

43:50

of the state it is located in. What

43:53

is the deepest lake in the United States? We're

43:56

like to. Casey I'm not too

43:58

familiar with with lakes, uh,

44:01

that much, uh, do you, do you happen to know this one? If

44:05

memory serves, I believe crater lake is

44:07

the deepest one in the U S.

44:10

Where's that located? Is that West coast? Yeah.

44:13

I think it's like,

44:15

that's a good question. Actually. Yeah. I

44:17

don't know about crater. I mean, that sounds like a deep lake. And

44:19

I think, I know I've heard it, you know, on the show several

44:21

times. It might be

44:24

for, um, for game theory here. Cause our host is,

44:26

uh, you know, in Washington right now. Um,

44:28

let's go with it. Do you want to lock it in? I

44:31

mean, it's all I got. And so if it's wrong, it's wrong. Let's

44:34

do, let's do it. Well, you

44:36

were incorrect about something there. Crater lake is

44:38

in South central Oregon, but unfortunately I think

44:40

you are Embarrassing. But unfortunately the part that

44:43

you are correct on is the part that

44:45

gets you points, I think, and we also

44:47

said crater lake. Yep.

44:49

Both teams are correct. Uh, it is

44:51

crater lake. So crater lake, yeah, located,

44:53

um, as mentioned in, uh, Southern

44:56

Oregon, uh, it is a volcanic crater

44:58

lake, which is really cool. So it

45:00

was a mountain museum, I believe, um,

45:03

after it blew up. I want

45:05

to say like 8,000 years ago, just started

45:07

to fill in, uh, and it's now, yeah, just a

45:10

beautiful lake. So if you ever on the West coast,

45:12

definitely worth a stop. Question

45:15

number eight is about bread. Sourdough

45:18

bread can be dated all the way back

45:20

to around roughly around 3000 BC,

45:23

uh, with roots to Egypt and the

45:25

fertile crescent. Sourdough

45:27

starter goes through a fermentation process, which

45:29

is what gives it its signature sour

45:31

taste. What chemicals are

45:34

introduced in the fermentation process that give it

45:36

that taste, uh, and there's two

45:38

possible answers for this one. Um, just looking for

45:40

one. Are you asking what you add to the

45:42

starter or what's created in the starter? Yeah.

45:45

What, what is created in the starter through

45:47

the fermentation process that gives it that kind

45:50

of sour taste. All

45:52

right. So initially, I mean, alcohol is

45:54

probably created in the starter, right? Um,

45:57

I mean, I know it's maybe lactic. I

46:00

know it's yeast is used in the sourdough. I know

46:02

it's what's created in the starter though Not

46:05

what you add to the starter. I Mean

46:08

usually you'd add yeast and it would create alcohol.

46:10

No Could be Alcohol

46:15

right sure all right so

46:18

Casey You wrote down something

46:20

that I know I hear on bake-off all the time when

46:22

they talk about sourdough And I'm just assuming it's right, but

46:24

you can you can take it because it was your your

46:26

guess So I think it's

46:28

lactic acid. I think of like Funk

46:30

in from yeast and I

46:33

think of like lactobacillus lactic acid making

46:35

that so Yeah,

46:38

we walked in with lactic acid And

46:41

once even getting points Answers

46:43

that would have accepted where lactic

46:45

acid or acetic acid I did

46:48

write it That was

46:50

poo pooed Food

46:52

like the yeast That makes

46:54

sense. It's a type of anaerobic fermentation. There.

46:56

No alcohol in the starter though. There

46:59

should be right because it's a It's

47:01

breaking down the sugars into right ethanol so

47:04

you would think there would be I don't

47:06

know but it makes sense it would Yeah,

47:09

I can't say I'm an expert

47:11

in sourdough. It's not the flavor

47:13

aspect Right okay.

47:16

Yeah the question was inspired fair Yeah,

47:19

that question was inspired by my family

47:22

They've all been starting to make sourdough bread and so that's

47:24

come up a lot in our group Moving

47:28

on to question number nine, which is

47:30

about natural disasters a Tropical

47:33

cyclone is a rapidly rotating source

47:35

storm system with a low pressure

47:37

center closed low level

47:39

atmospheric circulation Strong

47:41

winds and a spiral arrangement of

47:43

thunderstorms that can produce heavy rain

47:45

and squalls Tropical

47:47

cyclones can be broken up into or

47:49

typically broken up into kind of two

47:51

different categories Hurricanes

47:54

and typhoons. I want

47:56

you to tell me what is the difference between a

47:58

hurricane and a typhoon? We can

48:00

lock in. Yep. What

48:02

do you think Casey they're locked in? I, I

48:04

can, I can

48:06

talk about, you know, mascots that are hurricanes

48:08

and typhoons and stuff. Um, but, uh, yeah,

48:11

what are you thinking? The

48:13

only thing that comes to my mind, I

48:15

think hurricanes hit land and typhoons don't, but

48:18

I'm not a hundred percent sure on that. I

48:21

mean, I'm not, but I mean that, that, uh, jives

48:23

with me. I don't know. That seems correct. So do

48:26

you want to just, yeah, I want to lock in

48:28

hurricanes, hit land typhoons. Don't. So you're

48:30

writing a bunch of stuff. Initially you wrote geography,

48:32

which I don't think is specific

48:34

enough. It is correct though. So it,

48:38

yes, it's okay. Go ahead and answer geography. See how

48:41

it turns out for you. It's a yeah. Okay, fine.

48:44

I wrote that in

48:46

case, you know, there were some prying

48:48

eyes. So as far as I'm aware,

48:50

there's no prying eyes on that. You're

48:52

accusing Neil here. Maybe you would go

48:54

so far as to accuse the use

48:56

of prying eyes. Oh, I was

48:58

lazy. I can't even read your handwriting up close. I

49:00

always write. I know. They're

49:02

watching you clap, clap. Yeah, that's

49:04

fair. Um, so I'm pretty sure

49:07

that, uh, hurricanes, uh, occur in

49:09

the Atlantic ocean and typhoons

49:11

occur in the Pacific and there is no difference

49:14

other than that. That

49:16

is spot on. Uh, the difference between

49:18

hurricanes and typhoons, uh, is just location.

49:21

So yeah, hurricanes being in the Atlantic

49:23

typhoons occurring over in the Pacific. So

49:25

take that. We got one

49:27

that you didn't. Finally, GIS going to make

49:30

much difference until we do them in the

49:32

final. Question

49:35

number 10 is about foreign languages.

49:38

If you were eating the fruit known as

49:40

budo in Japanese, the Bibu

49:42

in Swahili Druva in

49:45

Swedish or Vina grad in

49:47

Russian. What fruit would you be

49:49

eating? Or like, uh,

49:51

before I stopped, uh, drinking,

49:54

um, I'd go to a nice place around here,

49:57

Casey called Mitsua and I would

49:59

get some grape wine. So we're gonna lock

50:01

in with great Yeah, we

50:03

said grape and both

50:05

teams are correct. The answer is grapes

50:08

Grape answer on that question grape answers all

50:10

around All right after

50:13

the second round do lamba gata

50:15

doing well 165

50:17

points enough to meet max bet in the final

50:20

which is great But what

50:22

to expect when podcasting has been

50:24

pretty flawless so far. They're at 220.

50:26

So These

50:29

wagers are gonna be important and

50:31

before we jump into the final round we want to

50:33

talk a little bit about patreon Yeah

50:35

at patreon.com/triviality podcast started, you know the

50:37

beginning of this year You get weekly

50:39

bonuses, which have been really fun to

50:41

record for all of us including the

50:44

crop drop Ethan I think we know

50:46

that you like to listen to these bonuses. Have you

50:48

been enjoying the weekly releases as opposed to just once

50:50

a month? You

50:52

know, I'll take whatever you guys can get me But

50:55

I do enjoy the weekly releases Yeah Just little snippets

50:57

to listen to you throughout the week on my drives,

50:59

you know to the grocery store and back And

51:02

if it sounds exciting to everyone listening,

51:05

I mean you can have you know

51:07

quizzes based around woodworking insurance

51:14

The insurance game that was beyond the pale

51:16

insurance we did it we did a taxes

51:18

game But don't worry. It's

51:20

not actually all about taxes insurance and woodworking It's just inspired

51:22

by and it helps us about the most boring thing. You

51:24

can imagine. It was like a 1099 int is filed when

51:30

An int stands for interception in the NFL

51:32

who has the most interceptions exactly stuff like

51:34

that So it's all it's all good fun,

51:36

but we enjoy doing it and Matt you

51:38

love the crop drop. I think that's your

51:40

probably your favorite It's

51:43

my favorite because we don't have to answer

51:45

questions. We just talk about weird stuff from

51:47

our day. We are answering questions Well Ended

51:51

questions right from our wonderful listeners. Yes. Yes

51:53

So if you'd like to get in on

51:55

the action, you can go to patreon.com/triviality

51:58

podcast All

52:00

right, let's find out what the final

52:03

52:29

five food And

52:32

the wagers are now locked in so let's go ahead

52:34

and get the questions Alright,

52:38

so question number one is

52:41

about activists This

52:44

activist was born in 1921 in San Pedro, California Drawing

52:49

on their experiences in internment camps. They later

52:51

went on to work with Malcolm X being

52:53

present at many of his speeches This

52:55

person was an advocate for many

52:57

causes including anti-war movements reparations and

53:00

rights for political prisoners and

53:02

was influential in the commemoration of executive

53:04

order 9

53:07

0 6 6 which caused the forced removal and

53:09

incarceration of Japanese Americans during World War two June

53:13

1st will be the 10th anniversary of their passing.

53:15

Who is this person? Question

53:19

number two is about mottos Guam

53:22

is the largest and southernmost island

53:25

in the Marianas It

53:27

is also one of the 17 non

53:29

self-governing territories listed by the United States

53:32

What is the unofficial but widely

53:34

used territorial motto referring referencing

53:36

its location in the Pacific?

53:41

Question number three is about islands The

53:44

Kingdom of Hawaii was established as a

53:46

sovereign state during the late 18th century

53:48

by King Kamehameha the first This

53:51

nation was ruled primarily by the House

53:53

of Kamehameha in the House of Kalak

53:56

and Kawah until they were

53:58

overthrown by non-natives in 1893. Who

54:02

was the last monarch of Hawaii? Question

54:06

number four, drag race. RuPaul's

54:10

drag race has only crowned three

54:12

Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific

54:14

Islander winners in its 16 seasons.

54:17

The most recent being Nymphia wind from

54:19

this last season and Sasha

54:21

Colby from the season before. The

54:25

first is a fan favorite of Indonesian

54:27

Dutch descent with her wind coming

54:29

in season three back in 2011. This queen also competed in 2022

54:31

on the first ever

54:36

all winners edition of All Stars.

54:38

Who was this

54:41

queen? Question number

54:43

five is about food. Dave

54:46

Chang is a chef, restaurateur, author,

54:49

podcast host and TV personality. You

54:51

may know him from Netflix's Ugly

54:54

Delicious or from his many restaurants

54:56

spanning from LA to New York.

54:58

What is the name of his restaurant group founded in 2004 and

55:01

is a slight nod to

55:03

the founder of Instant Ramen. Okay,

55:07

we have our questions and looking forward

55:09

to ending this game with very

55:11

few points, but we're gonna

55:14

go think about these and hopefully come back with a few

55:16

points. We

55:22

are back and it's time to face the

55:24

music with these answers. We're

55:27

going 30s all the way down because we have

55:29

to push to try to win this game. Other

55:31

team a little more conservative. They're doing 20s all

55:33

the way down. So let's get the questions one

55:35

more time. See who will be today's cream of

55:37

the crop. Alright,

55:40

so question number one was about activists

55:43

and this

55:46

activist was born in 1921 in San

55:48

Pedro, California, drawing

55:50

on their experiences and internment camps. They later went

55:52

on to work with Malcolm X being present in

55:54

many of his speeches. They

55:57

were an advocate for many causes including

55:59

anti-war movements. reparations and

56:01

rights for political prisoners and was influential

56:03

in the commemoration of the executive order

56:05

9066, which

56:07

caused the forced removal and incarceration

56:10

of Japanese Americans during World War II.

56:13

June 1st is the 10th anniversary of their

56:15

passing. Who was this

56:17

activist? Well, we had

56:19

no idea. We picked a

56:21

figure that's, we're happy it's still alive,

56:24

but just shout out to George Takei,

56:26

because we know he was had

56:29

experience in that area and he's very

56:31

politically active. So George Takei,

56:33

shout out and live long

56:35

and prosper. Yeah, we had some

56:38

names that

56:40

we thought were possible just from stuff

56:43

my uncle used to tell me about, but we

56:45

kind of flipped a coin here on the spelling,

56:47

pronunciation, etc. But we went with Kochiyama last name

56:49

only. Right. I

56:51

was very close to putting a George Takei question

56:54

in the final round, but he is not the

56:56

answer. Coin flip proved

56:58

to be correct. The answer is Yuri

57:00

Kochiyama. Yeah,

57:04

I would definitely encourage folks to look

57:07

into Yuri Kochiyama, read a little bit about

57:09

some of the work that she did, some

57:11

of the activism work. Definitely

57:14

like an important and influential

57:16

figure in the Asian-American community.

57:20

Question number two is about mottos. Guam

57:23

is the largest and southernmost island in

57:25

the Marianas. It is

57:27

also one of 17 non-self-governing territories listed

57:29

by the United States. What

57:31

is the unofficial but commonly used

57:34

territorial motto referencing its location in

57:36

the Pacific? So

57:39

for 30 points, we said land of

57:41

the Chamorros. We

57:44

said where America's day begins. All right.

57:49

So I realized I

57:51

realized just now that I may have botched this

57:53

question a little bit because

57:55

technically land of the Chamorros is.

58:00

I believe is like the official motto of Guam.

58:03

But the other unofficial motto is,

58:07

yeah, where America's Day begins. Ah,

58:09

well, I'll tell you something. We're

58:11

going to go ahead and take points for this one because it's not

58:13

going to be there anyways. Yeah.

58:17

So we'll give both teams points on that. But

58:19

yeah, Land of the Chamorros is indeed one

58:22

of the models of Guam. Yeah,

58:24

where America's Day begins, it is

58:26

the westernmost American territory and closest

58:28

to the international date line. So

58:30

it really is where America's Day

58:32

begins. Question

58:34

number three was about islands. The

58:37

Kingdom of Hawaii was established as a

58:39

sovereign state during the late 18th century

58:41

by King Kamehameha I. This

58:43

nation was ruled primarily by the House of

58:45

Kamehameha and

58:48

the House of Kalakaua until they were

58:50

overthrown by non-natives in 1893. Who

58:53

was the last monarch of Hawaii? We

58:57

said Lelu Kalani. No.

59:02

We too said Queen Lelu Kalani. And

59:06

both team receiving points, the answer was

59:08

Queen Lelu Kalani, who

59:10

also was the composer of the famous

59:12

song Aloha Oi. Question

59:15

number four is about drag race. RuPaul's

59:19

drag race has only crowned three

59:21

Asian-American native Hawaiian Pacific Islander winners

59:23

in 16 seasons, the most recent

59:25

being Nymphia Wind from the current

59:27

season and Sasha Colby from last

59:29

season. The first was

59:31

a fan favorite of Indonesian and Dutch descent

59:33

with her win coming back in season three

59:35

in 2011. She

59:38

also competed in 2022 on the first

59:40

ever all winners edition of All Stars.

59:43

Who is this queen? We

59:45

had no idea, so we made up a drag

59:47

name and we said Pilau Talk. It

59:50

is my favorite drag race, so we said

59:52

Raja Gemini. Oh

59:55

man, that's a good made up name. But

59:58

yeah, Raja Gemini is the answer. While

1:00:01

she did not win the all

1:00:03

winners season of All Stars, she did

1:00:05

win the award. Queen

1:00:07

of She Done Already Done had hers. And

1:00:15

question number five was about food.

1:00:17

So Dave Chang is a chef,

1:00:19

restaurateur, author, podcast, host,

1:00:22

and TV personality. You

1:00:24

may know him from Netflix as Ugly Delicious or

1:00:26

from his many restaurants expanding from LA to New

1:00:28

York. What is the name

1:00:30

of his restaurant group founded in 2004 and is

1:00:32

a slight nod to the founder of Instant Ramen?

1:00:36

I know there's two ways and

1:00:38

I think it's Momofuku. Yep,

1:00:41

yeah, we agree. Big in New York, Momofuku.

1:00:45

And both teams receiving points. The answer

1:00:47

is Momofuku. There's

1:00:49

a couple of different ways that the name

1:00:51

Momofuku came to be. Then

1:00:54

I believe it was Momofuku Ando

1:00:57

was kind of the creator

1:00:59

of Instant Ramen and went on to create the

1:01:02

brand such as Top Ramen. And

1:01:05

then Dave Chang in an interview

1:01:07

has also said that it also sounds

1:01:10

like a like MF'er. That's

1:01:13

why he chose that as the name. Yeah,

1:01:15

Momofuku is the answer. All

1:01:18

right. After a well played game

1:01:20

by both teams. Dola Ambangada, no,

1:01:22

it was well played. Getting

1:01:25

195 points after adding 30 in the final. But

1:01:29

much like the rest of the game, what

1:01:32

to expect when podcasting is apparently

1:01:34

perfection because they swept

1:01:36

the final as well, giving them 320

1:01:38

points, making them today's cream of the

1:01:40

crop. The crown of the crop. Nobody

1:01:42

does it better. Well done, guys. Couldn't

1:01:47

I keep up with you as hard as

1:01:49

we tried. It was all Casey. Thank you,

1:01:51

Casey, for being a great teammate. But you

1:01:53

definitely pulled the weight of the ship today.

1:01:57

I appreciate that. I got to give some to you. I

1:01:59

feel like every time. time that one of

1:02:01

us didn't know a question, the other one did. It

1:02:03

just worked out super well. Well,

1:02:06

thank you for picking me and obviously for being

1:02:08

a patron and for supporting the show. We

1:02:10

really appreciate it and congratulations, obviously, in order for the

1:02:12

great news you spoke about in the beginning of the

1:02:14

show. But any shout outs you'd like to give before

1:02:16

we let you go today? Yeah,

1:02:19

I'll give a shout out to my friends, Kara and Joey.

1:02:21

They're going to be getting married next year. One

1:02:26

of the best couples I've ever seen. I'm really excited to

1:02:29

watch their love grow. That's

1:02:31

awesome. Well, congratulations to them. Well,

1:02:34

thank you for saying that. And Ethan, wonderful

1:02:36

game, just really well written. And

1:02:39

we always love your questions and having you here. And

1:02:41

obviously, I think El Bogote, the new luchador is going

1:02:43

to be starting soon. But any shout outs you'd like

1:02:45

to give? Yeah, thanks

1:02:47

all so much for having me on. Yeah,

1:02:50

I hope that final round was obviously

1:02:52

all about Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and

1:02:54

Pacific Islanders here during our Heritage Month.

1:02:56

And I hope that will

1:02:58

help inspire folks to maybe

1:03:00

branch out and do a little bit of their own

1:03:03

research about not just some of

1:03:05

these icons, but some of the other important figures throughout

1:03:07

our history. Yeah,

1:03:10

but thank you so much to everybody that helped

1:03:14

play test and helped write these questions.

1:03:16

Big shout out to my partner,

1:03:19

Laura, for at 1030 last night when I

1:03:21

had just a burst of inspiration to like

1:03:23

scrap a handful of questions and write new

1:03:26

ones for helping me work

1:03:28

through that and shout out to

1:03:30

my cat Bubs who's sitting on the chair

1:03:32

of the couch right next to me and

1:03:34

did not interrupt too much this time. Yes,

1:03:36

and thanks so much for bringing that

1:03:39

Pacific Island flavor to the show.

1:03:41

Glad to get a diverse

1:03:44

category of questions. And we

1:03:46

greatly appreciate that. We also

1:03:48

really appreciate Airwave Media, our

1:03:51

network. You can

1:03:53

find them at airwavemedia.com. Check out other

1:03:55

great shows such as Calm History, The

1:03:58

Art of Crime. and

1:04:04

considered the most notorious of trivia podcasts, I think,

1:04:06

for some reason. I think so. Thank

1:04:09

you everyone for joining us. Anything

1:04:11

else, Ken, that you'd like to say before we

1:04:13

bid everyone adieu? No, just once again, thanks to
