You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, band of brilliant bantering bantas. This is good job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. Today's episode is episode 105. And of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your hearty, party of Artie and Smarty Farties. I'm Colin. I'm Dana.

And I'm Chris. And may I just say, I do appreciate the Bantha reference that you threw in there. I know it's Star Wars. Which animal is a Bantha? It's not, it's not Tauntan. They're like the big sort of elephant-y-looking creatures. But not the snow one. Right.

Right. Right. What's the Donimal Snowman? That's a Wampa. Okay. And as a kid, the Star Wars fan club newsletter was called Bantha tracks. That was, that was the only thing was. It's very cute.

You were like, I'm so glad you asked that. This reminded me that I've been reading the Empire Striaketh Back. Oh. So there's one for Star Wars, too. It's just somebody rewrote, you know, wrote Star Wars, but in Iambic pentameter. Wow. And it's, the Empire Strikes Back one is so funny. Like Luke encounters the Wampa, and it's like Wampa aside, and the Wampa speaks to the audience about how we're just a simple Wampa looking for food.

And it's so, it's really funny. All right, I'll check that out. I'll check that out. Yeah, yeah, please do. So every week, we actually do go play pub trivia. And we learned a good lesson a couple weeks ago. So this has come up twice for us now. You know the sister sister that show in the 90s?

It had Jack A. Harry and Tia and Tamara Maori. Twins. They're twins. They're basically identical twins. Yeah. To be clear, they give us pictures at trivia. And they're like, right down underneath this, who this is. I was watching an interview with them once, and they said, oh, I actually, one of us has a mole and the other one doesn't.

And that's how you can easily tell us apart. So the first time we were asked us in trivia, I was like, okay, one of them has a mole. Right. It's like, which one of them has a mole? And it's like, okay, so they are different. We were able to establish they were different because one of them had a mole on her cheek, but which one? Step one is that we identified they are Tia and to marry Maori. Yeah.

So we got that. But we're not getting any points for that. No, no, no. And then it's like, okay, one has the mole, and we realize Tamara is the one who has the mole. And so Tamara has a mole. Tamola. Tamola. We did say that.

Not in a mean way. We got it right because we identified the right twin. The quiz master gave everybody points. Just for T and Tamara. So the first time, we did not get points, but we knew who they were. The second time, we knew specifically exactly who they were, and we got the points. It was amazing how fast our mood swung from self-congratulatory to outright hostile. We're slapping each other on the back.

That was a good. We nailed it. We got the Tia-Tamara difference. And then we just about burned that place down, and we found out that everybody else got the points, too. Oh, the drama of the agony and ecstasy. Right. Well, except for the table that put Mary Kate and Ashley Olson. They didn't get the points.

That is not their names. Right. Right. And I also want to share with you guys something that also happened last week. I attended, oh, gosh, so nerdy. I attended this special Disney event lecture. It was like four hours. You went to school just for fun?

I went to school just for fun. I went to, like, it was a movie theater. I was a lecture event. And one half of the presentation was about imaginary. They actually had Bob Garh, who was one of the famous, legendary Imagineers who designed a lot of the vehicles in Disney. He designed the monorail. He designed the doom buggy of the haunted mansion, just like a really interesting guy. Were these people actually in the theater? Was this recorded at a different location and played in the theater? This was

everybody in the theater. Okay. It was a live event. All right. It's less nerdy than I thought. Oh, I'm watching something else. You know what I'm talking about the fathom events? Right, right, right. Another part of the presentation was about the project called Westcott, which was Disney in the 80s and 90s under Michael Eisner, because of the success of the Walt Disney World, they're like, oh, we should expand Disney land in Anaheim and make it bigger and had this big proposal. Anyways, it didn't happen. But they did talk about a lot of the attractions that were planned and they had concept

art. I just want to tell you guys this one ride. And it sounded so up my alley. And it was so insane. Obviously, none of this stuff got built. But here it is. It's this thrill ride that was envisioned to be part of, like, the futuristic part of the park or the resort. The future pavilion was supposed to be, like, on a big spaceship, you know, on a big carrier.

And everything was kind of themed that way. And you can learn about terraforming on Mars, you know, actual science. But then there's also this ride. And it's called deck 13. And the whole premise of the ride is you're lining up and you're in the future and you're going to get cryogenically frozen. Okay. Right. So that's the idea. The story they're selling.

As you line up, you start seeing kind of weird things. Oh. There are some splatters of blood. Finally, you're in the ride. But, oh, no, malfunction happens. And it shoots you up because the machinery, something has gone wrong. And it shoots you up. And it's a free fall, kind of like a drop ride.

You're dead space astronaut. But these are reaching out to you to grab you. You know, it's really scary, and then you fall. Not only do you drop, but you drop and spin at the same time down the shoot. And it's probably dark at the time. Dark and scary, and then you go up again, and then there's another, you know, like a dead spaceman grabbing you and you fall again. It's just kind of that type of ride.

I want to ride that ride. I know. It sounds so awesome. It's called Deck 13, and it's really chilling. And, like, in the concept sketches, all the writers have, like, fear in their faces. And this is just one of the rides that didn't get built. Yeah, it sounds a little edgy for Disney. A little edge.

It's kind of like aliens and the video game Dead Space kind of. It felt like that. But I was just like, oh, my God, to tell somebody that sounds so cool. That is cool. It was an awesome nerd. Good job, brave moment for me. I was just like, I was just nerding out. I was like, oh, my God, I love listening to Disney history.

And this was run by a team called the Disney Project. And they're just two big Disney nerds. who would do all this research and would write books and who would interview Imagineers and get all these like research and concept drawings and stuff. It was very awesome. That is right up your alley. Yeah, that is.

All right. Well, enough about that. Time for our first general trivia segment. Pop Quiz, Hot Shot. And you guys have your Barnier Buzzers. I have a random trivial pursuit card. Here we go. Blue Wedge for Geography.

That's when you really run a party. I really figured there would be whiskey in there, but I guess not. Yeah, I did too. So yes, gin, yes, tequila, yes vodka. Interesting. No whiskey. All right. Good job, Brains.

So, of course, today's show is 105. Every five shows, we do an all quiz episode. so we don't really have a theme or a topic throughout the whole episode. We made our own quizzes and puzzles, and we're going to quiz each other and you guys, listeners. And so today is our all-quiz bonanza number 21. Yeah. Wow. And who wants to go first?

So I'll get it kicked off. I'll get this started. I went to a baby shower last weekend. Okay. I'm not, I don't have any big announcements. I went to a baby shower. Karen's like, I went to, yeah, because it's all, the baby's almost here. They're usually half in at the end.

I'm not, I'm not with child. There's no baby. The mother-to-be's sister made a quiz. She listens to our show. Oh, hello. So she made a quiz inspired by the show. And it was a really good quiz slash very hard quiz. She's a science buff, so there's a heavy science leaning.

So I decided I'd read it for you guys. Oh, love it. Oh, awesome. Awesome. All right. First question. Question. What is the name of Prince William and Duchess Kate's baby? It's George Alexander, Windsor.

Right, because it was like all the Costanza. It's George Costanza, Jason Alexander. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's not why they named it that. Prince, yeah, George Alexander. She took, she took George, so. Oh, okay, okay. So she's a little lenient. George Alexander, last name, Winfell.

Windsor, I think, right? Yeah, yeah, that's right. What is unique about the male-diak fruit bat? The male-diak fruit bat? Yeah, diac or diac. It's going to be something related to babies. Chris. He carries the baby.

No? No? It's not like a seahorse. He can only reproduce one time. No. No. Karen? Does he rock the baby?

No. Karen's making a rocking version, by the way. Because he has wings. I feel like they make a good cradle. No, the male produces milk. It lactates. Oh. It can nurse the baby.

Whoa. That's gross. I will not, I will not drink that. I will drink female bat milk. I draw the line. I draw the line at male bat milk. Dude bat milk. Dude bat milk.

How much dude bat milk can it produce? Fruit bats are pretty small creatures, right? I'm imagining, like, to get yourself like a nice, healthy, 8 ounce glass of bat milk would probably take a while. It would be a lot, yeah, yeah, yeah. So the female fruit bat can also elect. Oh, okay, okay, okay. So we can have mixed gender as the...

It's equitable. Right, right, right, right. It is equitable, and they think it was to take the pressure off the mother. Oh, well, gentlemen. Well, good for you. You've got to up your game. I'm stuck with these useless nipples. Right, right, right.

Well, you have most of the equipment. You have most of the equipment. You have to hook it up. Right, right, right. What male animals can become pregnant? Seahorses. No, wait. Well, carry the baby.

They carry the baby to term. Okay, all right. Okay. Seahorses and their other fish in the seahorse family, like the pipefish and the leafy sea dragon, which looks amazing. Oh, crazy. Yeah. You should Google it. It looks like a seahorse dragon with leaves growing off of it.

Yeah. It's like kelp. Yeah. It's like if a kelp and a seahorse mated. Yeah. Other things you should Google is. Actually watch the male seahorse quote give birth. It's amazing because he's so filled with seahorse babies and a little hole and

they just all come shooting out and be worse out all these little sea horses. So many seahorses. So many. It's almost like sad because he's having like it's their contractions. Yeah. So he's in pain and he's like tired from like all these babies shooting out from this one little hole on his tummy. Right.

I don't know if I'm assigning. Like, you know, human emotions But, you know, it's on his side And he's like, oh, so tired More baby shootout! That's right. It's really weird. It's the miracle of life here.

Were the eggs fertilized in the female seahorse and they transfer over to him or no? So what I read, the way I understood it was the female puts her eggs into his brood sack And then they are fertilized there and come to term in there. Wow. Google that. What was the African claw? Toad Toe Frog used for in terms of pregnancy, related to pregnancy. Uh, is this to detect if you're pregnant?

Yes. Oh. How are they going to say lubrication? No. I thought it was maybe an upadural or something like that. Oh, yeah, yeah. It was a pregnancy test. How does it work?

You pee on the frog? You pee on the frog. You pee on the frog. If it lays an egg the next day, you're pregnant. And they were using it around the world It does work It works reliably Because it's something about probably

Hormones in your pee Then it makes the frog want to lay an egg This is also why I can see why some people believe in magic You know? It's like well I peed on the frog And then it accurately predicted Yeah and people think it sounds crazy But it really works

It's science, yeah I'm glad they don't sell that as pregnancy test now though Well you just go out of the pet store They just so yeah First response African frog you get a pet and you get a response that if you're not yeah if you're not pregnant you have a frog

you can reuse that was the other good thing about it you can reuse it what yeah you can't you can't use the ones that you buy in the Walgreens no no this is environmentally

from the old ways sometimes the better way that you pee on it this little frog told me I was going to have I just imagine the frog waking up in the morning. Another day at work.

All right. Here we go. I'm just going to stand here. Yeah. Punching a little time card. Okay. The most live births by a single woman was what? How many?

A is 39, 49, 49, or 69? In one person's lifetime. One person, a single woman. woman had this many babies. Man, even the lowest number. It is so high. August, 49. 39. 59. Wow. Oh, my goodness. I mean, just doing the math. They must just, they must just shot out, like, Seahort, towards the end of that. Maybe number 69 would just been like, who. Yeah. She, she had a lot of twins and triplets and quads. There were a lot of multiple births. Okay, because even just doing the math, right? I mean. All right. Last question.

According to the old wives tale, carrying a baby higher means that you'll have a what? A boy or a girl. Right. What is it? Caring it higher. I remember it's one of the other. It's a girl if it's higher. I'll say a boy, just to be different.

What do you say? I think it's nonsense. Well, you have to pick a boy or girl. What is the belief? Boy. It's a girl. Oh, right. There you go.

Eye opening. Yeah. That was Misha's quiz. Thank you, Misha. Yeah. Wow. All right. My turn.

and I haven't done a music quiz in a while. I was inspired by taking famous guitar riffs or solos in reverse. Oh, geez. Okay. Okay. So this whole quiz, this whole music quiz, I'm going to be playing opening riffs. Okay. Of songs, rock songs of just the guitar part.

All right. No, no singing yet. It's opening riffs? Yes, except for one, because the opening was a little bit, the volume. was a little bit low. So I chose another riff in the middle. You know, you're not going to pinpoint the notes because they're being played in reverse. But you can deduce a lot of the stuff from the feeling of the song from the bass, from the drum.

The tempo. From the tempo and also from like the sound of the instruments. And that might give you a little edge. All right. Here we go. These are all famous and I know you guys know all of them. All right. Here we go.

Whoa. Oh, everybody. Smells like Teen Spirit at Nirvana. Yeah. What gave it away? It sounds like the song kind of. It does, yeah. Yeah, and sort of the quiet into the noisy.

I was like, okay, well, it's noisy into quiet. Right. And this is the clip forward. Whoa, Colin. I'm pretty sure that's Black Sabbath, Iron Man. Yeah. And this is the clip Ford. I know what it was called.

Yeah, I was going to say, I'm sure you've heard that. All right, next one. Everybody. Weezer, say it so. Say it ain't so. Sorry. Call it. Say it ain't so.

Yeah. It is. Weezer, say it ain't so. Here it is, forward. All right. All right. Next one. The percussion might be definitely the clue. Um, there's a little organ there at the beginning, I guess.

Hmm, I don't know. You can't pin that one. All right, well, let me play it forward and see if you guys actually know the song. I'm sure you guys do. Yeah, it's been. I don't know who this is. This is a blue oyster cult. Yes.

Don't Fear the Reaper. Oh, okay. And the cowbell. Otherwise known as the Need More Cowbell song. Dear Gene! Oh, that was good. All right. And one last one.

Okay, so I have to say this is a cover. This is a rock cover of a song that is not a rock song. It has a really, really, really strong recurring riff. A hook, if you will. A hook, if you will. And you can either identify the original artist or the artist that is performing. Smooth Criminal by Alien Ant Farms. Michael Jackson original.

You guys know the cover. Yep. Alien Ant Farm's Smooth Criminal, Michael Jackson song. Here it is Ford. Also had the... When you said it was a rock cover of a song, it was like, Oh, it's that one. It's too many clues.

All right. Well, that was my quiz. Well, you guys did really well. I thought, you know, I thought it was hard, but, you know, I was hoping that you guys are music buffs and you guys totally... You can hear the tone and you can kind of like pick up on, yeah, the rhythm and yeah. And it's definitely harder without a voice. Because even a voice backwards, you can kind of hear the quality of a voice. And this one...

That was tricky, though. I mean, you really have to pay attention. Because your brain wants to pay attention to the notes. But that really, like, isn't the thing because they're not in order. Yeah, yeah. There you go. A few all-quiz episodes ago, I introduced a segment that we affectionately titled Brad Pitt or Lasers. I believe I came up with a name on this spot.

Oh, no, no, no, no, you have to do it. It's time to play. Brad Pitt or Lasers. You're right. That is much snappier. Yeah, imagine your own laser sound effects. The conceit of this quiz is I will give you guys pairs of, wildly unrelated things, people, inventions. And you tell me, which came first, which is older,

which was born first, debuted first, finished construction first. For each question, I will give you guys. You guys have a pad of paper and a pen. You'll write down which one you think came first. And these are all close. These are all chosen to be close to one another. The, sometimes just a few months. The greatest gap is about seven years. So do your best here. You may have to take wild guesses. That's kind of the fun. Okay. So in the spirit of Brad Pitt or Lasers, this installment is called Kanye West or Post-It Notes. Kanye West or Post-it Notes.

So indeed, the question is, you guys write down, which came first, singer Kanye West or Post-It Notes. God, how old is he? And we will be keeping score. Okay. I think Connie West is like, orange. Older, I love... I love hearing the thought process as the gears are turning here. All right.

And when you're ready, answers up. Karen and Dana say Kanye. Chris says Post-it Notes. Kanye West was born 1977. Post-it notes introduced 1980. Yeah. That's what I thought. Yeah.

They were... Now, if it makes you feel better, Chris, they were test marketed under a different name for a couple years. They were called Press and Peel notes, but Post-It Notes, as Branded Post-it Notes, did not come out until 1980. Wow. Kanye West. Kanye West. Older than Post-it-Nus. Which is older?

Google, the company, not the numerical concept, Google, or The Matrix, the movie, The Matrix. That's a good question. Close. It's very close. Very close. Okay. I'm thinking of, it's all freshman year of college for me, so it's just a question of, like, yeah. All right.

Answers up. Karen and Chris say Google. Dana says the Matrix. It was right around that time. Google was founded September 1998. The Matrix was released March 1999. Yeah. Just months.

I knew somebody who was right there at the beginning of Google. And it was when I was in college and so was the Matrix. And I was trying to. They were very close. Very close. Google narrowly older. Who? Which is older?

Clint Eastwood or The Hobbit? It just stood back in it so close. All right. Oh, okay. Hmm. I have some sort of rationale. All right, answers up. So Chris and Dana have said The Hobbit.

Karen says Clint Eastwood. Actor, director, one-time mayor, Clint Eastwood was born May. 1930, J.R.R. Tolkien's classic The Hobbit was released September 1937. Oh, man. That's a seven years split. Clint was seven years old when the Hobbit came out. Wow.

Yes. So I remember a lot of this stuff was inspired by J.R. Tolkien's time of war. You know, like a service in the war. So I knew it was a little bit later. Right, right. And the Lord of the Rings books came out many years later. Yeah, right, right. Wow. Which is older? LSD or spam?

Oh, interesting. The drug LSD? So when it was... And the food product spam. Yes, LSD was synthesized. We talked about processed foods. Spam like when they landed on that name or are you... When it was introduced to market.

Okay, all right. I thought that was tied to Korean War maybe. All right. And answers up. Karen says spam. Chris and Dana both say LSD. LSD was first synthesized by Albert Hoffman in 1938, whereas spam was introduced to 1937. So Karen got it. What vomit and spam came out that same year. It was a big year.

Wow. It was a big year. Just eat yourself some spam while reading the hobbit. Read some hobbit. For fantasy and process lunch me. Spamb it with Clint Eadswood by yourself. Yeah. After he gets home from kindergarten, yeah.

We're going with a couple of just solid American icons here, which is older. The Brooklyn Bridge or Budweiser Beer. Whoa. I feel like this is a trick. That's what I'm going with the trick answer. I don't know how it could be a trick. All right. Answers up.

Everyone says Budweiser. Everyone is correct. Yeah. Budweiser beer introduced 1876. The Brooklyn Bridge completed in 1883. All right, you guys are on a roll here. All right, here we go. Bud before bridge.

There you go, as the saying goes. Buds before bridges. Sure. Sure. We'll close it out here with one last one. Which came first? Miley Cyrus or The Thymaster. Oh, interesting.

The machine, the Thymaster. Yes, the home fitness device. the thigh master. Oh, not the person, the thigh. The master of thighs. Yes. James Thymaster Esquire. They call me. All right.

Answers up. Thymaster, thigh master, thigh master, thymaster, thymaster. You are all correct. Yes. It was close, though, as with all of these. Miley Cyrus was born 1992. The thigh master introduced 1988. Suzanne Summers, kind of more of a 70s, I guess. con well she came later it's the she actually didn't really start advertising for until the 90s

when it really kind of took off all right so all right karen i win our walk away victor here from brad pit or lasers i want brad pitt with lasers conier covered in post it notes no i don't want no just bread pit with yeah all right good job guys all right we're going to take a quick break a word from our sponsor Hello, this is Matt from the Explorers podcast.

It was the first alien movie. It was like, their mascot. Ralphie or something. Oh, you're so close. Yeah. No, what? Petey. Jonesy.

Jonesy. Jonesy. The Simpsonsonsonsie. have had five pet cats. Name three of them. Okay, Dana. Snowball one? Yes. Snowball two, snowball three.

Well, yeah, technically you are correct. The five cats that were the Simpsons' pets were Snowball one, Snowball two, Snowball three, Coltrane, and Snowball five, which Lisa then renamed at the end of the episode, Snowball two. And finally, he's the first character you meet whenever you start in. a new game in the Animal Crossing series. Oh. I don't... Oh, man. No, no, no, no, no, no.

Karen. No, no, no, that's not my... Oh, that's the imitation of... Oh, yeah, that's what it sounds like. I don't know his name. I only know Tom Nook. I know the mole, the mole who yells at me because I change the time. Whenever, Mr. Resetti,

whenever you start a new game of Animal Crossing and you're moving into your new town full of animals, you meet on the train into Animal Crossing, Rover, Rover the cat. Very much like spot Very much like the spot I was looking for Heathcliff Yeah You gotta save some for the next quiz Right

So everybody knows I've been drinking this thing Called Brain Tonic It's supposed to make you smarter How's that working? Do you feel smarter? You didn't get Mrs. Norris though So you got to chug some more

And it's clever It's tonic with Q And then the IQ are highlighted In a different color Tonique Yeah Tone IQ All right I'm ready

for your quiz, Dana. That's right. My brain is toniced up. This quiz is who is Googlier? Who is Googlier? I Google it. I don't know. Basically, what I'm doing is searching for terms or people in Google, and you guys

decide who has more Google hits. Okay. And I'm putting all of these things in quotes, so the Google results aren't in inflate. It's exactly that phrase. Okay. Who has the most pages? Okay, so you guys will write your answers down, and then we'll share what you think. All right, I'll see how this goes.

Well, start it off kind of easy to get the feeling of it. Okay, all right. So what has more Google results? Star Trek or Star Wars? Wow. Oh, no question. I like, who is Googlier? I think it could be close.

Oh I have it I question both of you I say Star Trek But Karen and Colin say Star Wars It's Star Wars Yeah

Star Wars Wikipedia man Yeah Star Wars had 82.4 million pages And Star Trek had 25.1 Oh wow I'm surprised

It's not closer But all those toys More franchises though Yeah true True All right So here's a three-way one for you guys

Oh Who has the most Google pages Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Aniston or Jennifer Lawrence. This was also the timeliness.

Actually, put them in order. Put them in order. Okay. Yeah. Lopez, Aniston, and Lawrence. I have my reasoning. I have my reasoning as well. I say Lawrence, Lopez,

Aniston. And Karen says, Aniston, Lopez, Lawrence. I say Aniston, J. Law, and J. Lo, because that's what the cool kids call them. All right. Thanks. It is Lopez, Lawrence, Aniston.

Whoa. Yeah. No one gets it. Lopez had 36.5 million. It's that dress. Lawrence had 19.7 million and Aniston had 15.8 million. I thought maybe the Brad Pitt-Aniston split would have provided a lot of stories. Here's the thing.

I looked it up. I was trying to figure out what the Google search results would give me. Is it just based on day and my location or my previous searches? It may have something to do with the server. But overall, if you put things in quotes, probably that's how many pages it's pulling up. I was guessing that. know, since Jennifer Aniston's been around, since there's been the internet, maybe she would have had more time to, I don't know. I mean, there's also a lot of algorithm stuff because, like, sometimes Google doesn't display.

If you have one site that has multiple hits, they kind of all open up those results. Lopez, though, has a lot more than others. Yeah. All right. Here's one. What do you think, which has more hits. How do you know if a girl likes you, in quotes, versus how do you know if you're pregnant, in quotes, and your. is misspelled.

It's spelled Y-O-R. It's spelled Y-O-R. It's spelled Y-O-R. I want to see other people. Chris says, how do you know if a girl likes you? Karen says pregnant. Colin says pregnant. No, it's how do you know if a girl likes you?

Wow. But I guess there's a more concrete way of slightly more. It's slightly more. Wow. Yeah, it's very close. What about how do you know if you're pregnant misspelled your versus how do you know if you're pregnant correct? You are, man.

I have no faith in humanity. Okay. I have some faith in auto-complete taking over. And I'm going to say, I have no faith in people who can't figure out or don't understand how to know if they're pregnant or not knowing how to spell if you're pregnant or not. You guys are right. The misspelled your comes up more. Wow. It had 234,000 hits versus 104,000 hits.

Twice as frequent that you get their wrong spelling. But it may be that it's auto-completing to the wrong one. Right, right, right. And you're like, close enough. Yeah. How about, in quotes, how tall is Bruno Mars versus, in quotes, how tall is Tom Cruise? Oh. Again, it's like a recency thing or?

What weird quiz. Oh, you ran the board with Tom Cruise. Everybody said Tom Cruise. Yeah. That is a mystery. What about how tall? It's never, it's never a. heard to me to think about how tall Bruno Mark is.

He's 5.5. By the way, I hit Inter on these to find out. The Tom Cruise was with Nicole Kimman and she's super tall. And so when pictures you're like, how tall really is Tom Cruise? How tall is Tom Cruise versus how tall is Beyonce? I still go with Tom Cruise. I'm still

going to go with Tom Cruise. And Chris changes it to Beyonce? Lady Bay. It's Tom Cruise. Oh, man. And they're the same height. They're both 5-7. according to Google Yeah

She wears heels though Last one How long does it take To get to the sun Versus how long does it take To get to the moon Okay so Colin and Chris both say moon Karen says sun

It is sun Yeah But we've been to the moon You're never going to go to the sun It's like a two to one margin It's like Yeah it's 436000 versus 2002,000 Wow

A couple of people commented they were surprised slash. disappointed there was no Elvis on our 100th episode. So I'm going to set things straight. It is time for a return visit from our electronic lyrical vocal interface system. Our computerized voice from the 1980s who will read out opening lines from hit songs, stripping them of emotion and soul. And you guys tell me, who is the artist? What is the song? There is a theme for this set of Elvis songs. And I'm going to tell you in advance what the theme is. So there's a puzzle within a puzzle. All of these songs that Elvis will be speak, singing, came out in the same year. So you guys need to not only identify the songs as we go, some may be a little easier than normal,

but you need to tell me what year all of these singles were number one hits. Okay. All right. Goodness. So this was a year. We were all alive. Okay. So you guys, you know, maybe you can try and remember, you know, what you were doing, where you were when this song came out.

And by the time we get to the end, you will all have to give me your. year. All right. All right. Here we go. First track. A scrub is a guy who thinks he's fly and is also known as a buster, always talking about what he wants and just sits on his brok ass.

Yeah. TLC, no scrubs. No scrubs. Yes, by TLC. Start you guys off a little bit of an early on here. Fan mail. I believe it was track number three. Here we go. Next track.

Oh, baby, baby, how was I supposed to know that something wasn't right here? Oh, baby, baby, I shouldn't have let you go. And now you're out of sight, yeah. Yeah. Uh, Dana. Britney Spears. Um, oops, I did it again. No, no, no.

Oh, baby, baby, oh, hit me one more time. Yes, one more time by Britney Spears. Wait, is it one more time? Oh, that's right, because they didn't want the hit me because that would have been... Yes, it's like dot, dot, dot, one more time. One more time. Her first number one hit.

What year was that? Well, that's the question. Well, you'll have to tell me. Next track. Hopefully you'll start narrowing in on the air. All right. She's into superstitions. Black cats and voodoo dolls.

I feel a premonition that girl's going to make me fall. I believe that was Chris Ricky Martin Living LaVita Loca All right Next track It was

A lot of number one hits that year A lot of first time number one hits that year Oh that's true Yeah yeah yeah Here we go Next track No matter how hard I try You keep pushing me aside

And I can break through There's no talking to you So sad that you're leaving Takes time to believe it Share, believe. Oh, man! Chris is on it from the first word that is believe by share. Wow.

All right, last one here. This was one of the biggest hits of the year and, in fact, carried over into the following year. Okay. Man, it's a hot one. Like seven inches from the midday sun. Well, I hear you whisper and the words melt everyone. But you stay so cool. I don't know

Chris and Dana I think Yeah Yeah Smooth Yeah Carlos Santana Featuring Rob Thomas

Yeah Yeah That's Santana All right So that was a big year for pop A lot of A lot of debut Not a number one hits

What year So go ahead Should we write it down? Yeah go ahead and write it down All right And up. Karen says 1997. Chris says

1999. Dana says 1999. It was 1999. Nice and Dana right on the nose. Yeah. At first I thought it was like 2000, but then I was like touch earlier, a touch earlier. Same year Matrix came out, right? Indeed.

Yeah. Big year for culture. For this episode of All right. Well, good. You know what it was? So if I can tell you the workings of my brain here. Please, please. In the year, I think, 2001, they came out with a version of the Sega game, Samba de Amigo, that had Live and La Vida Loca in it.

It was a game where you shook Maracas. Oh, yeah, yeah. A little monkey. Yeah. And I was like, there's no way that song came out in 2000, and then they had the game out so immediately. So it must have, there must have been, because it's like, by the time that game came out, It's like, oh, well, this song is so clearly appropriate. It's like that song must have had a little bit more time to lodge itself in the public consciousness.

And so I picked 99, and I feel really good about that. Cool. I just want to thank you guys for being here. Well, you thought of that. But I'm that I shared with Dana. I love it. I love hearing the thought processes. Yep, yeah.
