You're listening to an Airwave

0:02

Media Podcast. Recording

0:07

in Chicago, Illinois with your

0:09

hosts, Ken, Matt, Neil, and

0:11

Jeff. This is

0:14

Triviality. Hello,

0:20

and welcome to Triviality, the game where lack of

0:22

seriousness meets a little bit of knowledge. My name

0:24

is Neil. I'm here with Jeff in the studio

0:26

and Ken over the internet. How are you,

0:28

Jeff? Ken over the internet? Ken over the

0:30

internet? Where's Ken? Well, Ken is in

0:32

the ether right now. He's kind of floating like he's

0:34

traveling through time. He's very likely somewhere on the other

0:36

side of an internet connection. I think I passed him

0:38

on my way to Maryland on the internet. I think

0:40

you did. And of course, our favorite person,

0:42

Julia, you're here as well. How are you? I

0:45

love that, guys. Hi, I'm wonderful. How are

0:47

you guys? Doing really well. You're

0:50

also in the internet from what I just did.

0:52

I am inside it right now.

0:55

We haven't seen you for a little bit, Julia. What's been going

0:57

on? Anything? Yeah,

1:00

you know, I

1:02

survived the eclipse. Rochester

1:04

was in the path of totality and poor

1:07

Rochester. That

1:09

four hour span in that afternoon, it was

1:12

90% cloudy and we just didn't have the

1:17

beauty that everybody expected, but that's

1:19

Rochester for you. Did

1:21

you bring the kids or is it just at work? It's

1:25

just... It was everywhere around there, Neil. That's kind of how it

1:27

works. Yeah, it was the

1:29

whole city. The

1:32

whole region did experience it.

1:36

Just the roof of RIT. It's just the roof of

1:38

RIT. Yeah, exactly. But

1:41

yeah, and then just enjoying

1:43

all the sports happening right now.

1:45

Yeah, I know a lot of good sports

1:47

stuff going on. I got to see the

1:49

women's NCAA championship was fun recently. And

1:53

we also have the draft recently.

1:55

Did your Steelers get anyone that you're happy about or not really?

2:00

We got another Troy for the team. So you

2:02

know what? We're happy about that. The insers, the

2:04

insers will be happy. Hair not

2:06

as good as Palomado. No one's is right.

2:09

No one's no one's can't know what's can be.

2:11

Well, so it's just going to be us for

2:13

playing today and we're actually going to go head

2:15

to head. So, um, Julia and Matt

2:18

are going to be a team and, uh, Julia, you came

2:20

up with a great way of getting into your team.

2:22

And you want to explain it? Yeah.

2:24

I mean, so I'm a big NHL

2:26

fan and, um, RIP Arizona

2:28

coyotes, they're moving to Utah and the

2:30

team name hasn't been declared yet. So

2:33

people of the internet have come up

2:35

with, have kindly come up with a

2:37

list of suggestions for Utah. Um, and

2:39

my favorite of them is the Utah Brian

2:41

shrimp. So we're going to Matt and I

2:43

are going with that today. Love it. And, uh, Jeff and

2:45

I wanted to go with a team name that I wanted to

2:47

go with it regarded, you know, had

2:50

beds and water and different things, but Jeff

2:52

said, absolutely not. Um, but if you

2:54

can find your way into that answer, uh, more power to you.

2:56

But, uh, Jeff, we're going to be Utah hotel

2:58

pizza. Yeah. And do you know why that is? Um,

3:01

well, I got to say they have the

3:03

best hotel. They have the best hotel pizza.

3:05

So, you know, the only pizza that made

3:08

that made Michael Jordan six. So that's an award.

3:10

It should win something. It's definitely unique. Yeah.

3:12

So we might have our own flu game

3:14

here against the powerhouse that is Utah Brian shrimp, but

3:17

in order to play the game, we have to

3:19

have someone to host the game. We're so excited

3:21

to have our rules guy enthusiast on Patreon from

3:23

Lexican, Kentucky, Troy Cooper here with us. How are

3:25

you, Troy? Hey guys, I'm doing good. Thanks

3:28

for having me back. Yeah, of course. Uh, great, great

3:30

to have you here. Uh, and just, uh,

3:33

tell people a little bit about yourself and what you

3:35

got going on. Yeah. So like

3:37

I said, my name is Troy. I'm here in

3:39

Lexington, Kentucky. Uh, I teach at the university of

3:41

Kentucky and the school of information science. Um,

3:44

big trivia buff and, uh, you know, big

3:46

long time fan of the show and several

3:48

others, so always exciting to get to come

3:51

and participate. Yeah, of course. Well,

3:53

we're, we're happy to have you here. You wrote today's game for

3:55

us. And, uh, first of all, anyone who writes a game for

3:57

us, we appreciate, we know how much work goes into it, so

3:59

thank you for. doing that, but you

4:01

said that there is kind of like a little bit of a

4:03

theme that might be fun to figure out, but it won't have

4:05

any bearing on the answers. Is that right? I

4:08

wouldn't call it a theme necessarily, but all

4:10

of the, um, Question

4:12

titles or categories are, uh, they just

4:15

happen to be related to the Simpsons

4:17

in some way, because I

4:19

wrote one question and, uh, had a really good title for that and

4:21

I was like, okay, I'm going to go with it. That's

4:24

awesome. Well, we can't wait to play, uh, in order to play

4:26

the game, we got to get the rules. Is there anyone you'd

4:28

like to hear read the rules for today? Um,

4:32

uh, let's go with the classic. All right.

4:34

We're going to go to Darren. Let's uh, let's get the rules

4:36

read. The rules of

4:38

the game are simple. 20 questions

4:40

split into two rounds worth 10 points

4:43

apiece at halftime. There'll be a

4:45

special swing round designed by this

4:47

week's host. After regulation players

4:49

will enter the final round with the

4:52

points that they've accumulated and we'll have

4:54

a chance to wager zero to 30

4:56

points on five categorized questions at the

4:58

end of the game, someone will be

5:01

named the cream of the crop, the

5:03

cream of the crop. Um, but, uh, Troy, we're,

5:05

we're ready to play the game. Uh, so feel free to take

5:07

it away. All right. So

5:10

round one, question one, uh, category. Well,

5:12

it's not quite a mob, not quite

5:14

a puppet, probably the

5:16

most well-known interspecies relationship in the muppet

5:18

verse is that of Kermit, Kermit, the

5:21

frog and miss piggy, but

5:23

what is the name of Gonzo's longtime

5:25

chicken girlfriend, also a famous name within

5:27

the British royal family. Ooh,

5:30

you're shaking your head, Julia. Like you're

5:32

a big muppet fan. I'm a huge

5:34

muppet fan. Yeah. You know this. I

5:36

do know this. We can lock it in. We can lock

5:38

ours in. Uh, speaking of muppets,

5:40

uh, Julia, do you want to tell people

5:42

where they can find a life-size replica of,

5:45

uh, the Sesame street? Oh,

5:47

of course. Well, if you find

5:49

yourself in Western New York and, uh,

5:51

Rochester at the strong national museum of

5:54

play, um, there is a,

5:56

tell me how to get to Sesame street

5:58

exhibit where there is, uh, you

6:00

know, basically a replica

6:02

of 123 Sesame Street. There's

6:05

officially sanctioned

6:08

children's television workshop muppets of

6:11

Big Bird and Elmo and Cookie

6:13

Monster and all these amazing Sesame

6:17

Street characters. And the conservative there

6:19

had to get trained to do

6:21

special how to, you know, annually

6:24

clean and fluff and

6:26

make sure that they're up to snuff.

6:29

And it's, yeah, it's a really, really cool

6:31

exhibit. And you built it with your bare

6:33

hands as well. Yes, personally. So

6:36

Julia locked in right away. Jeff, I don't know how you

6:38

feel about this, but I know the thing

6:41

with Gonzo's girlfriend is Gonzo really liked her for

6:43

a long time, but she was kind of married

6:45

to someone. And then he started dating someone else

6:47

who was younger and more famous. But then he

6:49

kind of cheated on that person with this original

6:51

person and ended up marrying her and now their

6:53

royalty together. So it's Camilla. It's Camilla. Yes, we're

6:55

gonna lock in with Camilla. Yes,

6:59

it's Camilla. Yeah,

7:01

that's correct. It is Camilla the

7:03

Chicken. I'm also a huge

7:05

Muppets fan. So I had

7:07

to throw one in there. Although I

7:09

would argue that the best pairing with Gonzo

7:12

is Rizzo the Rat. Oh yeah, of

7:14

course. Yeah, it's like Martin and Lewis. Can't get any

7:16

better. All right,

7:18

question two. Have the Rolling

7:20

Stones killed? Although

7:22

none of them were related, members of the

7:24

pioneering punk rock band, the Ramones, all shared

7:26

the Ramone moniker as a stage name. What

7:30

are the first names of the four original members

7:32

of the band often seen in the band's most

7:34

popular logo? Okay,

7:36

Matt, let's see if our lists

7:39

have anything in common. I

7:41

have Dee Dee. Okay. Joey.

7:44

Yep. Tommy. I

7:46

had those three. Okay, and then I don't

7:49

have a fourth. You

7:52

said Dee Dee. Dee Dee Joey

7:54

Tommy. I think Johnny's the

7:56

other one. Johnny. Johnny's the one I knew.

7:58

Johnny Ramones is the one I know. If

31:37

of our answers for the swing round are locked in, so

31:39

let's go back to Troy and see how we did. All

31:43

right. So again, for each of these artists, you'll

31:45

give me the song

31:47

that they charted the highest with. Number

31:50

one was Billie Idol. We

31:53

said White Wedding. We agree.

31:56

We thought maybe it was White Wedding. And

32:00

then I looked it up and the highest rating

32:02

single for him was Mona Mona Wow

32:09

All right number two Al Green this hold on

32:11

before this is how I expected Number

32:17

two Al Green well, sorry,

32:20

man We said

32:22

let's stay together. I would be very

32:24

disappointed if it wasn't let's stay together.

32:27

It's what we said You are

32:29

both correct. It's less day together Number

32:33

three the white stripes We

32:35

were we kind of had a coin flip on this

32:37

one and we went with seven

32:39

nation army Yeah,

32:42

we just figured it's in every sporting event

32:44

and commercial and whatnot. So we said seven

32:46

nation army This is another one

32:48

where I thought that was the answer as well I

32:50

should mention to Mona Mona did make it to number one

32:52

Let's say together it did make it to number one the

32:55

highest rating single for the white stripes made its number 26

32:58

and it's icky thump. Oh Wow,

33:02

I would have guessed definitely Seven

33:04

nation army since it seems to be at every sporting

33:06

event I think it just has more longevity than it

33:08

yeah, like when it hit All

33:11

right. Number four was weird Al Yankovic We

33:15

said white and nerdy I feel like

33:17

that was it well if this is based on

33:19

songs I've requested at family members weddings when I

33:21

was a young child. We said Amish paradise All

33:25

right, the correct answer is white and nerdy Nice

33:29

chameleon air parody At

33:33

number five Kendrick Moore We

33:36

went with humble Yeah, I

33:38

had a similar thought too. We said

33:41

humble. Yep, both. Correct

33:43

humble Number

33:46

six was Dolly Parton We

33:49

were between Jolene and nine to five We

33:51

think nine to five might have had more

33:53

of a pop culture staying power. So we

33:55

said nine to five And

33:58

we flipped went the other way Okay,

34:00

we said Jolene. All

34:02

right, and the answer is nine to five. Went

34:04

to number one. Islands in

34:06

the Stream also went to number one with the

34:09

Rockers. Oh yeah, I

34:11

was thinking about that. What

34:13

a pairing. That's what we are. All

34:17

right, next up, Bob Marley. I'm

34:22

learning that if we're between two,

34:25

it's gonna be none of them. But

34:27

we went a long list

34:30

of Bob Marley songs. We ended

34:32

up settling on Buffalo Soldier. Ooh,

34:34

that's a good one. Oh, the Buffalo

34:36

Soldier. Nice. Yeah,

34:39

we just said One Love. We were just trying to keep

34:41

it simple on this one. We didn't even say One Love.

34:43

He has so many songs. There's

34:45

a whole list. Yeah. This

34:48

is another one where I was really surprised. And

34:50

to my knowledge and my research, the only song that

34:52

ever charted on the Hot 100 was

34:55

No Woman, No Cry. Oh,

34:57

nice. And it's number 35. That's

35:01

a good one. And then Rage Against the Machine

35:03

is next. Yeah,

35:05

this is one, Bulls on Parade

35:07

and Killing in the Name of, or the two that we

35:10

were flip-flopping through, and we

35:12

said Killing in the Name of. Well,

35:14

strange coincidence. I happen to listen to

35:16

all three of Rage's non-cover albums this

35:19

week. And

35:21

I feel like we're pretty lights out on this one.

35:23

We said Gorilla Radio. Yep,

35:26

it is Gorilla Radio. Made it to number

35:28

69 on the charts. Nice.

35:31

Nice. And

35:33

number nine, Missy Elliott. We

35:36

went with Work It. Yeah, this is

35:38

the hardest one for us because I wanna say One

35:41

Two Step is probably the top one, but that's actually

35:43

a Sierra song. A lot of people think it's Missy

35:45

Elliott, but she's featured on it. So

35:47

we were between Work It, Rain, which

35:49

I know was the big hit off her first album,

35:51

and then Lose Control, but we also

35:53

said Work It. All right,

35:55

so more points to me, I guess. Work

35:58

It did make it... number one for five

36:01

weeks, but a

36:03

song called Hot Boys made it to number

36:05

one for six weeks. That would be boys

36:07

with a Z. Boys with a

36:09

Z. I was going to ask our autobiography.

36:12

We're flipping it. Hot

36:15

Boys, the triviality story, right? Yeah,

36:17

that's right. And

36:19

then finally, uh, bowling for soup. Um,

36:23

yeah, I don't think that the Finneas and

36:26

Ferb song charted. So we went with 1985.

36:30

Yep. And as much as we wanted to be

36:32

the boys with a Z, all the bad guys

36:34

want, uh, or bad girls want, I

36:36

guess, uh, whatever your preference, we said

36:38

1985. Yep.

36:40

Of course that's correct. I mean, it's a number 23. I'm

36:45

pleased with that. I'm very pleased with

36:47

this performance. Yeah. We're, we're,

36:49

we're a little skeptical going into that.

36:52

So that went okay. It didn't, it

36:54

didn't go, uh, too badly for either

36:56

team. So it looks like team Utah,

36:58

uh, hotel pizza is picking up 20

37:00

points, bringing our total to 80 and

37:02

Utah, Brian shrimp picking up 25, bringing your

37:05

total and the lead extended a little bit to

37:07

one Oh five. All right.

37:09

First rest a question of round two for

37:11

this round, uh, instead of doing quotes, I

37:14

went to the, uh, famous

37:16

chalkboard writings of Bart at the beginning of

37:18

each episode, uh, so

37:20

round two, number one, I will not skateboard in

37:22

the halls. Skateboarding

37:24

legend, Tony Hawk founded which skateboarding company

37:27

in 1992, which sponsored such

37:29

pro skaters as Sean white and Bucky

37:31

Lassie. I wonder

37:33

if he has one in his soul. I

37:36

was just going to assume Matt had this at

37:38

the ready. I

37:41

mean, he was, he was all

37:43

pop punk, no skater. So yeah, I

37:45

wasn't really a skater. Um, he

37:48

does the birdhouse is his company.

37:51

I don't know if that's

37:54

the one he founded in 92, but I know he has

37:56

a company called birdhouse that does skateboards, et cetera. What

38:00

bird in his soul mean? Does that mean

38:02

anything? I have no

38:04

idea. Okay. I don't know what that means. Okay

38:08

but Okay, let's

38:10

go. Let's do it. Yeah

38:12

birdhouse We're in agreement with

38:14

you. So hope it's right. We said birdhouse Yes,

38:17

both teams get it. It's birdhouse The

38:20

soul thing is the famous they might be giant song

38:22

put a little birdhouse in your soul. That was my

38:24

little not that Yeah Alright

38:27

round two question two. I will not

38:29

eat things for money Within

38:32

ten either way, what is the world

38:34

record for number of silver dollar pancakes

38:37

eaten in an eight minute time period?

38:40

So specific I was like, all right, Joey chestnut

38:42

queuing up. Yeah, let's let's enjoy chest night might

38:44

be a little too easy So

38:47

silver dollar pancakes in eight minutes eight

38:50

minutes. I guess a silver dollar pancake. It can't

38:52

be silver dollar size a lie

38:58

It's in the name Jeff they're

39:00

really this big started silver dollars, but they

39:02

expand. Oh, yeah, that makes sense

39:06

They're slightly bigger, but they're tiny like you

39:08

could stack up four or five and probably

39:10

give it a good good run Okay.

39:12

All right. We have a random number. We're gonna lock in

39:14

with it Okay, what's the

39:17

Chicago area code? 708

39:19

or every one to three one two. I'm

39:21

gonna say three one two Three

39:23

hundred and twelve pancakes In

39:26

eight minutes That's like

39:28

fifty pancakes a minute if they're the size

39:30

of a silver dollar. Sure. There's no

39:32

way you're eating fifty pancakes I'm not

39:35

eating fifty pancakes a minute But perhaps

39:37

in a minute, I would think like

39:39

max you're doing ten. Oh,

39:41

no way Yeah, we're way chew

39:43

them. They they can't dip them in water and swallow

39:46

What about the gosh? Was there a bit of salt?

39:50

There was from the video that I saw There's syrup

39:54

that help I understand it's

39:56

softer. Oh, but it sticks to the inside. Well, all

39:59

right, I'll spot you I'll go to 212. All

40:02

right. That's take

40:05

out it off the top. I need to

40:07

see this magical 200 pancake. Yeah. What

40:10

do you think Matt? I was in, I was in, I

40:12

was in the like 80 to a hundred range. I was

40:14

thinking it was like 10 a minute. If

40:17

Joey says that can eat like 80 hot

40:19

dogs in eight minutes. Like what? Pancakes

40:21

is more carbs though. I

40:23

guess he's eating the buns. Maybe you're right. Let's do 200.

40:27

Yeah. Now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, if

40:29

they're each the size of like half of a hot

40:31

dog bun, that's like one 50. Easy. All

40:34

right. 212 we're doing it. Yeah.

40:37

We, we had no idea. We thought maybe 10 a minute.

40:40

Um, and then we kind of lowered it a little bit and said, well,

40:42

maybe it's not exactly 80, so we went with 68.

40:46

All right. So, uh, neither team getting points

40:48

here. You were, uh, Matt was close with

40:51

his original guests. Uh, a, the

40:53

record is 113 in

40:56

eight minutes. We need to

40:58

go down. I was off another hundred. We

41:00

would have been there. You, you take off, you take off a

41:02

hundred, then you take off 99. Then you're

41:04

there, you know? Yeah. A hundred percent.

41:08

All right. Question three. I will not retransmit

41:10

without the express permission of major league baseball.

41:14

Major league baseball has had only

41:16

10 players achieve the triple crown

41:18

award of average home runs and

41:20

RBIs since RBIs began being recorded

41:23

in 1920. Who

41:25

is the last player to win the triple crown in the

41:27

major league baseball? He did so by batting

41:29

three 30 hitting 44 home runs

41:31

and driving in 139 runs in 2012. Okay.

41:36

They're locked in. So 2012, Jeff,

41:39

um, trying to think of what baseball

41:41

players were good. I think around that time there

41:43

was an MVP, Mike trout, perhaps I was thinking

41:45

about Mike trout. In fact, um,

41:48

I think he was just a weather enthusiast

41:50

at the time. I think you're right. Up

41:53

to the big league 44 home runs though for Mike

41:55

trout. I guess that makes sense. I'm trying to think

41:57

of what I mean. Pool host maybe around that time.

41:59

Albert. Albert he always had a

42:01

high batting average and home run average and

42:04

RBI average, which I guess is the triple crown That's what we're

42:06

talking about Not

42:09

desiring to eat either of those But

42:12

let's say As

42:16

much as I liked my gut of trout, let's say

42:18

pooholes. Okay, we're locking them with Albert pooholes This

42:22

is a guy who's kind of almost lost a

42:24

time people don't talk to him a lot But

42:26

he was really dominant for while he played for

42:29

the Tigers Marlins before

42:31

that believe it's Miguel Cabrera

42:34

Damn it. Yes, that is

42:36

correct. It was Miguel Cabrera Alright

42:39

question four. I will not instigate revolution

42:42

What three-word name is given to the period

42:45

between September? 1793

42:47

and July 1794 when

42:49

thousands of counter revolutionary suspects were

42:51

publicly executed during the French Revolution

42:54

So Neil you famously studied French for four years. I

42:58

Did for two years, but two years. Okay two years.

43:00

I was giving you more credit. Thank you I mean I

43:02

so I know a decent amount to speak it a

43:04

little bit with the French language I flirted a little

43:06

bit with the French language and not so much the

43:08

French women because they can't understand me And

43:12

a married You

43:14

know reasons I Know

43:18

I feel like I know this too and it's it's

43:21

I could tell you the The time

43:23

period in France is it in

43:25

lemme is then then he would definitely know Okay,

43:28

we are gonna lock in over here Ciprian

43:34

Jepal anglais Pal

43:38

a pupa But

43:41

I I was a I was a French major

43:43

in undergrad Which was many moons ago

43:46

at this point, but I did study a

43:48

lot of French history I'm gonna go with

43:50

and Matt agrees Matt and I

43:52

confer you're not just like unilaterally

43:56

Storming over Matt like Robespierre

43:58

and his ring of terror Yes,

44:01

yes, we too said rain of

44:03

terror Sounds like a

44:05

great band name. Yeah both teams

44:07

got it correct rain of terror might

44:09

not be spelled like the meteorological phenomenon though

44:13

My back a vocalist is Mike trout. Would you

44:15

understand if I said it'll couple of homage about

44:18

what's going on in this room? Oh No

44:20

guys I'm

44:24

it. This is why I'm in the internet. That's

44:26

right Okay,

44:28

number five I will not

44:30

carve gods Who

44:33

is the Roman goddess of wisdom justice and

44:35

law in a popular story?

44:37

She is challenged by a mortal arachne

44:39

to a weaving competition where she ultimately

44:41

Transforms her into a spider as a

44:43

punishment to serve as warning to never

44:45

challenge the gods Not

44:48

much to talk about Julia, you know it we chatted

44:51

a little So we

44:53

were you know, we thought about how the

44:55

the we know a little

44:57

bit of mythology The Greek goddess of

44:59

wisdom is Athena and her Roman counterpart

45:02

is Minerva. Mmm It's

45:04

exactly what we were talking about Jeff we you wrote

45:07

down Artemis and I was trying

45:09

to think of Athena and I knew it was between Artemis

45:11

and Athena But I don't think we were

45:13

gonna come up with the Roman version of

45:15

it. So we locked in with Justicia

45:20

Which is the Sounds

45:23

like a trading card you get in like third grade. Yeah

45:27

Or a venereal disease Yeah,

45:31

so Julia got it correct is Minerva

45:34

counterpart to Athena in Greek

45:36

mythology After five questions

45:39

Utah hotel pizza kind

45:41

of blown it to be quite honest

45:43

20 extra points bring our total to

45:45

100 And it looks like Utah brine

45:47

trip picking up 40 points

45:49

bring in there to all the 145 extending their

45:51

lead and sticking their foot on her throats Jeff

45:55

Brian shrimp small big lead though All

45:58

right question six I did not win

46:01

the Nobel Fart Prize. Which

46:03

international organization is the only three time recipient

46:05

of the Nobel Peace Prize winning in 1917,

46:07

1944 and 1963? Yeah,

46:14

my first thought was habitats for humanity, but

46:16

I don't think Jimmy Carter was building houses

46:18

in 1917. He

46:20

might have been. He was around. He's

46:22

that old. I

46:25

would think like the Red Cross. So it makes

46:27

sense to it's right around World War One

46:29

and then World War Two and then Vietnam.

46:32

I think the timelines work out that way.

46:35

Yeah. So Red Cross. Good guess.

46:39

Let's go with it. Yeah, let's go with that. Yeah,

46:43

we agree. We said the Red Cross,

46:46

probably the American Red Cross, but we did

46:48

not specify because reasons. The

46:53

good thing you didn't because, yeah, it is the International

46:56

Committee of the Red Cross. Mm hmm. Nice. All

47:00

right. Question seven. Substitute teachers are not

47:02

scabs. When

47:04

you cut or scrape your skin, blood

47:06

cells start to clump together and clot. As

47:09

they dry, they form scabs. What

47:11

type of blood cells create these clots? I

47:14

think I can. Julia feels very

47:16

good about it. I can lock it in. Yeah. OK.

47:20

Julia just immediately sent a text that said, I know it

47:22

and you don't. Wow. Hi.

47:27

With the with the gift of a wrestler. She's

47:31

pulling a promo on me. Well, I know the mitochondria is

47:33

the powerhouse of the cell. What

47:35

does that do for us, Jeff? Well,

47:38

I don't think it's the white blood cells, right? Those

47:40

are responsible for like helping fight infections. Right. And

47:44

then there's the red blood cells. Yeah, that

47:46

carries the that's the hemoglobin carries the oxygen

47:48

around. Right. But also

47:52

the Green Goblin, there's the hemoglobin and the green

47:54

goblin. How about that? That'd

47:57

be a great villain. It

48:00

just takes all the oxygen out of the room. Transport

48:03

somewhere else. Um,

48:05

how many blood cells are there? White,

48:08

red, other

48:10

is there other, I don't know. I

48:13

think there's other, we'll just say red. Okay.

48:16

Uh, we'll lock in with red that diet over here.

48:20

I'm pretty sure they're platelets. All

48:23

right. Yeah. And your correct answer is platelets. Wow.

48:26

We're going to need a, some more platelets. Wow.

48:28

We're going to need a, some coagulation over here

48:30

for all the blood we're spilling on this game,

48:32

Jeff. Uh, number eight, I

48:34

will remember to take my medication schedule.

48:37

One drugs like mexiclin and LSD

48:40

and schedule two drugs like fentanyl and

48:42

codeine are both classified as drugs

48:44

that have a high potential for abuse and

48:46

or addiction. What is the

48:49

difference between these two classifications? Okay.

48:51

Jeff and I are going to lock in while you talk.

48:55

So we're looking at the difference between one and two.

48:58

Yeah. The first one seemed to

49:01

have hallucinogenic properties, right? Is that kind

49:03

of what we were looking at? Yeah. I

49:06

think, I think that's the difference. I think one

49:08

can cause you to hallucinate and the others ones

49:10

don't. So, um, I

49:13

think this is rather contentious,

49:15

um, because of some of

49:18

the other things that are on this list,

49:20

including marijuana as a schedule one drug, but

49:22

I believe according to, um, this

49:25

is a U S department of, or a

49:27

U S whatever government organization it is,

49:30

um, schedule one drugs

49:32

are those that have no legal

49:35

medical applications and schedule two drugs

49:37

have legal medical applications so they

49:39

can be prescribed. Yep.

49:42

You got it exactly right. So schedule

49:44

one drugs, um, are drugs that are

49:47

seen as having no current medical use

49:49

per analysis by the DEA and the

49:51

FDA. Uh, whereas, um,

49:55

things like fentanyl and coding and the schedule

49:57

to have some medicinal value in

49:59

our person. prescribed by doctors under certain

50:01

circumstances. So this song, this question

50:03

is a shout out to my wife, Megan. She's a pharmacist.

50:05

So she helped me out with this one. Nice.

50:08

Oh, nice. Thanks Megan. Yeah, it is

50:10

really interesting. All

50:12

right. Number nine. Grammar is not a time

50:14

of waste. What

50:17

is the term for a grammatical error in

50:19

which two independent clauses are connected by using

50:22

a comma? Neil,

50:24

I think I got this one. We're going to go ahead and lock in.

50:27

Okay. Um, grammatical

50:29

rule. I don't know. I would

50:32

just, I know that you

50:34

can combine, um, two

50:36

independent. Um, so would

50:39

that just be like a compound sentence? Okay.

50:43

That could be, I

50:45

was just like, um, thinking

50:48

of like grammatical errors. Um, you

50:52

have things like a jangling participle.

50:55

You have things like a split infinitive. You,

50:57

uh, the word gerund

50:59

came into my head and that's the thing. I

51:01

don't know what it is. Gerund?

51:05

Oh, run on sentences. Yeah. Um,

51:09

so yeah, I'm so

51:11

what was your original answer? A

51:14

compound sentence, but I think that's not an error.

51:16

That's, that's the correct way to use it. So

51:20

a run on sentence would be, if it didn't

51:22

have the comma, didn't have a comma. Yeah. So

51:25

maybe dangling participle. It sounds

51:28

fun. It's a, it's

51:30

a fun answer. Yeah. Yeah. Got

51:33

to get those, tighten up those dangling particibles.

51:36

Yeah. We're going to say that. It's the hanging

51:38

Chad of grammar. I don't know. Yeah. I

51:41

don't know what, um, clicked

51:43

in my brain a long time ago. Um,

51:47

you know, for which reason I almost

51:49

never split infinitives, but we said, uh,

51:51

commas place. Yes. Your

51:53

correct answer is comma splice. This is one that was like drilled into

51:56

my brain in grade school. And

52:01

even into high school, they were like, if you have one

52:03

comma splice, your college teacher is gonna fill you in your

52:05

paper. So I learned that here in- Oh,

52:07

I had the same teacher apparently. Something

52:10

that I teach all the time now in some of my classes, so. Yep,

52:13

comma splice. All

52:15

right, and then the last question of the second

52:17

round. So I decided here to switch it up

52:19

and do an actual sentence question. So the

52:22

category is, see my vest. In

52:26

the episode two dozen and one greyhounds,

52:29

Mr. Burns does his best Cruella de Vil impression

52:32

and plans to make a tuxedo out of greyhound

52:34

fur from the puppies he stole from the Simpsons.

52:37

When the kids find out, they sneak to his estate

52:39

and hear him singing a parody song of Be My

52:41

Guest from Beauty and the Beast called

52:43

See My Vest. Aside

52:45

from the greyhounds, Burns mentions 10 different animals

52:48

in that song from which he has made

52:50

a piece of clothing. For one

52:52

point each, name as many as you can. Ugh.

52:56

All right, so Jeff, I

52:58

know we don't know any of these.

53:01

So how about you just name five random

53:03

animals and I'll name five random animals and

53:05

we'll see if we get any points. All

53:07

right, I said monkey, tiger, panda, elephant, flamingo.

53:10

And I said jaguar, hyena,

53:12

caribou, puma, and badger. Okay.

53:21

Caribou's pretty good. Thank you. Was

53:24

not a caribou, unfortunately. The vest

53:26

was made from gorilla chest. The

53:29

loafers were gophers. The

53:32

evening wear vampire bat. His hat

53:34

was a cat. Irish

53:36

setters in their grizzly bear

53:39

underwear. There's

53:41

an albino African endangered

53:43

rhino. A

53:46

turtleneck and then a red

53:48

robin and a missing one. But I got

53:50

nine of them. Yeah,

53:54

that was impressive. You got nine of them. So

53:57

it is. See

54:00

my vest, see my vest made from real

54:02

gorilla chest. Feel this sweater. There's none better

54:05

than authentic Irish setter. See

54:07

this hat, twas my cat, my evening

54:10

wear vampire bat. These white

54:12

slippers are albino, African endangered rhino,

54:14

grizzly bear underwear. Turtles

54:16

next, I've got my share, beret of poodle

54:19

on my noodle. It

54:21

shall rest. Try my red robin suit.

54:24

It comes one breasted or two. See my vest, see my

54:26

vest, see my vest, see my vest. Like

54:29

my loafers, former gophers, it was that or

54:31

skin my chauffeurs, but a greyhound fur tuxedo

54:33

would be best. So let's prepare these dogs.

54:35

Kill two for matching clogs. See my vest,

54:37

see my vest, see my vest. See

54:40

his vest. He really likes the vest. I don't want

54:42

you to miss what's poodle, the beret. Poodle, which I

54:44

had written down. I just didn't say out loud. I

54:46

don't know how I missed not reading it, but I'll

54:48

take nine. Well,

54:50

with Matt's great performance there of all the

54:53

animals from that Simpson song, it looks like

54:55

Utah brine shrimp, speaking up 29 points,

54:58

bringing their total to 164 and still

55:00

a large lead over Utah hotel pizza.

55:02

Also picking up about 30 points, but

55:04

we're only at 130, so it's still

55:07

close, but not really, but we need

55:09

those. I think it's

55:11

anyone's game, Neil. I think it is anyone's game. So

55:13

130 to 164. Before

55:17

we get to the final round, just one more shout

55:20

out here for all of our patrons. Thank you so much

55:22

to everyone who has joined us, especially in the last three

55:24

or four months or so. We really

55:26

appreciate helping the show grow and having

55:28

all of our Patreon followers continue

55:31

to get bigger and bigger on our road to 600 for

55:33

2024. Matt,

55:36

have you been enjoying recording all of our

55:38

mini bonuses we're doing every week? My

55:40

favorite thing every week is to find a list of

55:43

10 to write questions about. And

55:45

I feel like you do love a theme or so.

55:47

I just did a theme on insurance

55:49

companies and I did a theme. If

55:53

you're not a patron, you're never going to learn about

55:55

what flows up to you. That's right. And

55:57

Jeff, what was the other one you made fun of before that I? I

56:00

did. Oh no, Jeff baited me and he's like, can

56:02

you, you're not going to do one about

56:04

insurance companies. I was like, oh yeah, I will. And now

56:06

he said, well, it's like you doing one about dentists. So

56:08

maybe we'll get one about dentists coming up in the future.

56:11

You said what are things that people, you know, just hate

56:13

dealing with? Oh, the DMV. Oh

56:15

yeah, that could be another theme right there. Taxes.

56:18

That's yeah, we were, we almost had

56:20

12 of them by the time we were done brainstorming.

56:22

And I think Neil might actually just run with it

56:24

at this point. I might. And, and just, you know,

56:26

don't worry. It's not actually about that stuff. It's just

56:29

inspired by. But yeah, you'll enjoy all that if you

56:31

56:51

right, Troy, what are our final round categories to see how

56:53

we're going to wager? All

56:56

right. So your final categories, uh, going

56:58

off of the family are Homer, Marge,

57:02

Bart, Lisa, and Maggie. All

57:05

the wages are now locked in. Utah hotel pizza

57:07

is going to go 25 on all the questions

57:09

and continuing their dominance. Utah brine shrimp is going

57:11

to go 30 on all their questions. So let's

57:13

see what happens here in this final round. All

57:17

right. Your first category, Homer, the

57:20

Iliad and Odyssey are both works by ancient

57:22

Greek poet Homer regarded as one

57:24

of the most influential authors in history. The

57:27

Iliad is set during

57:29

the last year of the Trojan

57:31

war and focuses on a quarrel

57:33

between Achilles and which King. Uh,

57:35

second question, Marge, in

57:37

what 1985 comedy adventure film will you

57:40

find large Marge, a creepy story telling

57:43

truck driver who picks up the hitchhiking

57:45

title character on his way to Texas.

57:48

Question three, Bart. The

57:50

Bart is the colloquial name for

57:52

the public transportation operation serving San

57:54

Francisco, Oakland, and the surrounding areas.

57:57

What does the acronym Bart stand for? Lisa.

58:03

Lisa Leslie is one of the

58:05

greatest players in WNBA history. She

58:07

won two WNBA titles and three

58:09

MVP awards. For which team

58:11

did she play her entire 12-year professional

58:13

career? Then

58:16

finally, Maggie. Maggie

58:19

May is a hit song by

58:21

which knighted British singer? It tells

58:23

the story of a boy who is in a relationship with an

58:25

older woman. Those

58:27

are our questions and we'll be back in

58:30

a little bit with our answers. Sick

58:33

of those trivia podcasts that you don't

58:35

even understand how to operate and they

58:37

just have too many levers and buttons?

58:41

There's got to be a better way. Now

58:44

there is with Good Job Brain,

58:46

an offbeat quiz show and trivia

58:48

podcast that makes learning new things

58:50

easy and fun. I

58:53

just learned that artificial vanilla flavoring sometimes comes

58:55

from the anal glands of a beaver and

58:57

now I can never shake that mental image.

59:01

Thanks, Good Job Brain. Good Job

59:05
