You're listening to an airwave media podcast. Hello, Purt and perky podcast patrons. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 12, and of course, I am your humble host, Karen, and along with me are, our brilliant and bright buzzer-bumping bros and babes. Yeah. I'm Colin. Dana.

And I'm Chris. So before we start today's episode, we want to throw it out there to all of our listeners and such. We kind of are, I wouldn't say it's a battle, but we're kind of on both sides of the fence here. Recently, in our own pub trivia,

the Quizmaster asked, what do you call a group of bees oh yeah this was controversial and it was and it was like the very first question of the night yeah very first question what do you call

a group of bees and I instinctively put swarm right and then I think Dana and I were both like oh that's such an unofficial term that's not you know and I think I was pushing for either hive or colony I was because I know there's no they talk about bee colonies

and swarm is also kind of like a more like a verb like they swarm right not necessarily a swarm up yeah and then like a the week after the so what did you put i was not there for this particular one i think i think we i think we talked karen out of swarm yeah and that was the answer he wanted swarm we put colony yeah okay and the next week we had what do you call a group of ants yeah and i thought it was army of ants and of course i was like i was like well i really think it's colony and i'm like i know i'm pushing for colony again But I, you know, I had no confidence in it. So we put Army.

And we got it wrong. In this case, they were looking for colony. They were looking for colony. But the thing is, all of these are right. Yeah. So. A colony bees, a swarm of bees, a colony vans, and army vans. So we're just airing our grievances right now.

I know, what is the controversy here? It's just like which ones. I think it's that there are certain categories of question where it's not as definitive as it could be. You know what I mean? It's like some trivia question is like, it's this unquestionably, boom. But maybe, maybe there is some sort of. of delineation of when do you call a group of ants army and when you call them a colony. Maybe it's like in a bigger system of ants, you call it a colony, but if it's just a bunch

of group of ants, which is a subset of colony, you know, it gets complicated. And we did look, you know, I mean, we did, we of course do some internet searching on the spot, colony, comma, army, you know, so it just seems fuzzy. If anybody out there is an animal or is a zoologist. Oh, I see. We're trying to figure out if there's a definitive answer to this. I see. I see what you're saying. Because it's almost like, you know, a flock of birds versus a nest of birds.

You know, it's so complicated. Really, we're just angry that we got both of them wrong. That's really what this is about. I'll be honest. Anyways, today's episode is a little bit different because it's our all quiz episode. Number two. All quiz mark two. So put your thinking caps on.

We've all compiled our own quizzes this week, so all hands on deck. So before we get started with the all-quiz episode, you may remember that last week we had our carryover challenge in which we gave you guys a challenge to try to figure out over the past seven days. I got them. You got them? I got them. How long did it take? I didn't even try. Well, let me reiterate with the challenge draws before we start talking about that.

So I gave you three strange sounding phrases, and those phrases were coach clone, 10 Dior bags, never fun. And finally, Ray Unties, LNA, V. And those phrases all had the name of a popular fashion house in them. But also, they were anagrams of the names of three fashion designers. And we asked you guys to give us the three names. So Karen, you... I solved it. I solved it.

Oh, I just thought of the first one. Oh, well, the first one is, Colin, why don't you tell us? I'm assuming it's Coco Chanel. It is. The first one is the gateway drug, if you will. It is in fact, Coach Clone is an anagram of Coco Chanel. Yay, I got the easy one. Um, so let's also move down to Ray Untie's LNA vest, which was probably the second easiest

in terms of difficulty. It is Yves Saint Laurent. It is indeed. And finally, I mean, I'm most proud of this particular anagram. I did in fact make these anagrams myself. And, uh, it was actually, it was, I was taking fashion designers and I was anagramming their names and realized that coach came up for Coco Chanel. And I was like, oh, coach, that's a fashion brand.

Uh, and so I figured it, can I cram a few in? And the final one, 10 Dior bags? never fun, is of course, Karen, an anagram of Diane von Furstenberg. Absolutely. Yay. Wow, good one. These are hard because, I mean, for usual anagrams,

you can just plug them in online and they'll spit out normal words. Exactly. You have to do it. You've got to do it with pencil and paper. You're not going to be able to automatically solve these anagrams. And that was why I actually said in the challenge, like I said, look, these are anagrams of the names of fashion designers, because it's hard enough even knowing that.

So thank you all for participating again. Good job, me. Go Karen. Yay. At one point I was really frustrated. I was like, just tell me what it is. And I was like, oh, I solved it. I got it.

Eureka. It is our all-quiz episode. And of course, we're just going to start out with our usual pop quiz hot shot. General trivia from our random trivial pursuit cards.

Angry, angry athletes with sticks thrown together in a box. And what could go wrong? I've already been punished.

Who's up first for all quiz You guys are putting your buzzers down It's an all quiz show You got a whole lot of that thing A quiz could come up like whenever My hand was getting sweaty from the stress So I'll go first I have a quiz for everybody

So one of the more popular I like to think Quis is in this room anyway quizzes that I did On a previous episode was Famous First Line And people really enjoyed that. So, of course, we're not doing that.

But what we are going to do is famous final lines. Oh, that's so much harder. And just to throw you guys a curveball, one of these lines, only one is from a book. The rest are all from movies. Oh, this is going to be tough. Oh, well, I'll start off. I'll start off. We'll start off easily. Okay.

I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship. Dana. Costum Lincoln. Absolutely. Ataboy, Clarence. Adaboy, Clarence. Clarence. Who's Clearing?

Wait, hold on, but didn't Clue have three separate endings? This was the last line of the last endings when you watched it all the way through. Yes, indeed. When it was originally shown in theaters, they showed three random endings at the end of Clue, wrapping the murder mystery. Which is pretty brilliant, actually. But ever since then, they've shown it with all three endings, and they say it could have happened this way, but it could have happened this way, but this is the way it really happened.

Got it's the final line. Okay. I'm so glad to be at home again. Yes. Is that the Wizard of Oz? It is not the movie The Wizard of Oz. However, it is the final line of the book, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by El Frank Baum. Nothing like, there's no place like home, but I'm so glad to be at home again.

Oh, so that was purely a movie line. There's no place like home. It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does? It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does? is pollen mannequin no wait hold on

Dana is it blade runner it is in fact the final line to the unofficial official movie of good job brain I finally watched

so familiar Yeah I don't have to see it Dottie I lived it Another, Karen. A league of their own. No. Oh, I mean, not close, but like, that could be, but not true.

Another line from this film is, I'm a loner, Dottie, a rebel. Dana. Peewee's big adventure. Pewey's big adventure. That's right. Another softball for you guys. Where we're going, we don't need roads. Oh.

Colin. That's back to the future. That is back to the future. As you wish. I think that was Colin again. The Princess Brian? Yes, sir. I get to live the rest of my life like a schnuck.

Citizen Kane. Oh, that's a good one. Good job, everyone's brains. It's so funny that we all, we do. better at first lines than last line. Maybe I just don't pay attention towards the end. Cool. Our next quiz will be exact middle lines.

Lines that are right in the middle of them. I mean, I think you spend a lot more time on the first line of a book, you know, to hook the reader in. Oh, true. But the movie, it's the last line right before the end that they carefully craft to leave you with the feeling. Yeah, yeah, so much emotion and things like that. Yeah. Well, I think I have a pretty good segue into a.

I have a little quiz all about movies. Oh, interesting. Maybe finally I'll get one right. Okay, so we're going to take a little trip at the movies or to the movies. So it'll be a mix of some Oscar questions and just movies in general. I'm glad you're not participating because you're the best at movies. Especially Oscar movies. Yeah.

Well, I mean, you know, it's like when I go to write a quiz, that's what comes to mind easily. All right. So I'll get some good ones in here, hopefully. What is the only major Hollywood studio? that has never produced a movie that won Best Picture Oscar. What? Major Hollywood Studio. They have never had a movie win Best Picture.

Karen. Paramount. Nope. Chris? Columbia? No? TriStar. No.

It is Disney. Disney. Never won Best Picture. Never won Best Picture. That's true. Wow. Crazy. Okay.

No. I believe Beauty and the Beast was close. It was nominated. for Best Picture. It was. It was nominated for Best Picture. Disney's with Pixar, so it might happen. What was the first movie filmed in color to win Best Picture of the Year?

So every other previous winner had been a black and white movie. Chris. Gone with the win. Correct. All right. Gone with the win. That's right. And pretty much after that, that sort of became, that was the standard for movies that had won.

It wasn't until the apartment, 1960, was the next black and white movie. to win after that. What two-word phrase refers to the slowed down, distorted time and space effect used in movies like The Matrix or Blade? Karen, emphatically. Slow-mo? No. What?

Chris. Bullet time. Correct. Bullet time. Bullet time is the name. In fact, I learned this. Bullet time is a registered trademark of Warner Brothers. Oh, wow.

Yes. And, of course, by far, the most. Well, known use of it was Matrix, and really when it kind of came into its own as a phrase. It's a lot in video games. What movie is the only winner for Best Picture that was based on another movie, as opposed to being based on a book or a poem or a... Oh. So this movie, this is a recent, fairly recent movie.

Only winner for Best Picture based on another movie. Karen again. Chicago. Incorrect. Pass. Oh, no. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Well, so I'm just, I'm just going to, I don't think they won. True Grit is based on another movie. Well, they're both based on a book. Right. Okay. Right. So when you say based on you mean it's not exactly the same movie, it's just.

Right, right. You can say maybe it's a reinterpretation or, I mean, it's very similar. Huh. This was 2006. Does that help you guys? No. Oh, was it? No.

It was the departed, so, especially, yes. Infernal. Oh, oops. Whoa. It was based on infernal affairs. Absolutely right, that's right, a Hong Kong movie from 2002. And basically the same plot of, you know, gangster infiltrating the cops and cops infiltrating the gangs, right.

Two actors have won an Academy Award for portraying the same character. Who are they and who is the character? Oh. In two different movies, two different years. Wow. These two movies, each won Best Picture. They were separated by two years. Wow.

Is it, is the character like a... historical figure? No, the character is fictional. Really? 1972 and 1974. That would be Marlon Brando and Robert De Niro. Correct. Yeah.

Don Corleone. That's right. Marlon Brando, of course, winning best actor in 1972, and De Niro winning best supporting actor in 1974. I wasn't thinking of franchise. I was actually thinking of fresh off the interpreting. I was like, oh, okay. I started giving the clues.

It started to fall in place. All right. Well, this one, I'm confident one of you is going to get this one. What was the first animated movie to be nominated for Best Picture? I think Chris actually buzzed first. I believe it was Walt Disney Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Incorrect. For Best Picture.

First animated movie to be nominated. Beauty and the Beast. Yes. Karen just said it. That was the first one. All day. That was the first one to be nominated for Best Picture. That's right.

That's right. And then it went to Silence of the Lambs that year. So hard to think of two movies that could cover different ends of the spectrum better. all right they both explore like the beast inside every man yeah yeah yeah yeah they both involve people in jars and covers

you know full skin wearing like you took this to a really dark place yeah transformation absolutely yes talking candelabras they had a lot in common calling all right

we'll wrap it up with this one according to the National Association of Theater owners so that you guys are all going to submit a guess here. Let me preface it by that. You're all going to, this is sort of a closest to question. Okay. So again, you know, we get a lot of these questions in, uh, in trivia of tiebreakers or things like that where you're not supposed to know it exactly. It's who can get closest. According to the National Association of Theater owners, concession sales account for what percentage of a movie theater's profits? And, and I would only, I would include

ticket sales. Everything, right. So, yeah, so this percentage of the profits, concession sales, you know, food and drink, everything that a movie theater absorbs in, what percentage of their profits come from concessions? 75%. I'm going to say 69. All right. Dana? 75.

75. Okay. All right. It's actually 40%. Yeah. I win with 69. Karen wins. Yeah, Price is right strategy.

So 40%. No, we all lose in prices right. Oh, that's right. Yeah, it's without going over. Too high. Yeah, you're right. We all lose. Yeah, so I guess it's only 20% of their revenues,

but it's 40% of the total profits because they don't need to pay. anything out to the studios. Oh, got it. So, like, food and stuff like that is just pure profit. They get a nickel's worth of nach cheese. They sell it you for $7.50. Popcorn is so cheap, too. Right, yeah.

Yeah. So, 40%. That's why back at M&M's is like $6. They say, though, I mean, it's, they say that, you know, the expensive food actually keeps the cost of the tickets down. That if they couldn't make as much money on the food, they would just raise the cost of the ticket. So you're going to be paying the same amount one way or the other.

Who's up next? Dana. Sure. All right. So my quiz is about books and literature. And I think all of these questions maybe would come up in trivia. We might have heard one or two of them in trivia. Okay. Who invented the movable type printing press in 1440? Colin, I think. That was a Johan Gutenberg. Damn it. Okay. So this is a little tricky. You have to remember four book names. Okay. All right. So put the following books in order by a number of copies they sold. Oh, all right.

You're harsh They're well-known books, though So first is And then there were none by Agatha Christie Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery And the Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown The book that sold the most copies

Was The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown And then, so I would say Da Vinci Code, I'm going to say, and then there were none And then after that What are the other two? There were Anna Green Gables. I would say Catcher in the Rye and then Anne of Green Gables. You're so close.

I would flip the last two. I would flip the last two. I would say, yeah, in order of most to least, I would say DaVinci Code, Agatha Christie. Which was extremely popular, right? Right. And has had a long time to get around, too. And has been a constant sell. And then I would say Anna Green Gables and I would put Catcher in the Rye last with fewest.

The first was Agatha Christie. Oh, man. Well, good. I'm actually happy to hear that. well give him some time yeah yeah yeah i have to say though and then there were none fantastic book oh it's oh it's great yeah if you love mystery and puzzle solving oh so good recommendation from good jump and then and then and then and of green gables okay so the bronte sisters are known for their works such as jane air weathering heights and the tenant of windfall hall name

all three published bronte sisters oh i'm already flying they're sure Charlotte, there's Emily, and I'm blanking. Anne? Yes. Right behind Harry Potter on the list of best-selling books series is this popular series of children's horror slash supernatural literature. What is the name of this series? Can we all say it at the same time? Sure. Goose bombs. Who wrote it? Arl Stein. Yeah. In 1994, Bill Gates bought a notebook filled with the writings of this author inventor for $30.8 million, making it the most expensive book ever purchased. He later

had the book scanned and turned into a screensaver that he distributed with Microsoft Plus for Windows 95. So who was the author of this notebook? Chris. Benjamin Franklin. Nope. Sugar. Leonardo da Vinci. Yes. 30.8 million dollars. Wow. Was he an author? He called him an author. He wrote a notebook Then I am an author We're all author Which well-known fringe author is credited with writing the longest novel ever And as a hint, Steve Carrell's character

And Little Miss Sunshine was a scholar of this author's work Chris Marcel Prost Yes In Search of Lost Time It has 1.2 million words Last question Judy Bloom is famous for writing children's and young adult novels

that tackle tricky subjects or sensitive subjects. The novel she wrote in 1975 about teen sex was the second most challenged book. Oh, teen sex. Teen sex was the second most challenged book in school libraries in 2005, 30 years later. What was the name of that book? Teen sex? Yeah. Are you there, God?

It's me, Chris Kohler. Is it, Are You There God, it's me, Margaret? No. That's not teen sex. Yeah, that's what I thought I was going to be. Those are junior high school girls. Yeah. He should.

It's good. Is it super fudge? What is it? This is her most controversial book. She gets a lot of heat for this one. I'm blanking on it. In the book, one of the characters named Michael names his penis, Ralph. And she thinks that decreased the popularity of that name.

People stop naming their kid, Ralph. What book is it? My guess was, Are You There Gone? It's Me and Margaret, but there was never sex. It was just about periods and pounds. I know I'm going to hate myself when you say it. Forever. Never heard of it.

All right, well, reading assignment. We should all read forever. Come back. Name our genitalia. And report back. Good job, Brad. Hey, good quiz. All right, time for my quiz.

And guess what? Music round is back. Yeah. By popular demand. By popular demand. I have a music round here. And there is a theme, but you don't have to guess a theme because it will be fairly obvious by the second clip.

And how this is going to work is I'm going to play five short clips of music. And you have to identify the artist who performed the songs. All right. Here we go. Oh, God. The name of the song is, of course, Papa Oum, Mao, Mao. It is. Is it Serf and Bird?

Surf and Bird, yeah. Oh, well, they combined, that's Surf and Bird combined two songs, right? There was a song called Papa Oum, Ma'amow. Yeah, I think you're right. I think you're right. It was a reference to that, but either way, we're just stalling because none of us is... None of us can think of. Well, who's the artist of Surfingbird?

I just think of Peter Griffin. I cannot remember. It is The Trashmen. The Trashmen. Such a one-hit wonder, good trivia song. The Trashman. But I would accept Peter Griffin as well. I'm a family guy.

No, there's no shame. Fun fact, this is my running power song. Say what you will, music snobs, but this song gets me going.

It's kind of a challenge to summarize them all, Molly. Okay, here's a reason to listen to our show, Big Picture Science, because you love to be surprised by science news. We love to be surprised by science news. So, for instance, I learned on our own show that I had been driving around with precious metals in my truck before it was stolen. That was brought up in our show about precious metals and also rare metals like most of the things in your catalytic converter. I was surprised to learn that we may begin naming heat waves like we do hurricanes.

You know, prepare yourself for heat wave lucifer. I don't think I can prepare myself for that. Look, we like surprising our listeners. We like surprising ourselves by reporting new developments in science. And while asking the big picture questions about why they matter and how they will affect our lives today and in the future. Well, we can't affect lives in the past, right? No, I guess that's a point. So the podcast is called Big Picture Science, and you can hear it wherever you get your podcasts.

We are the host. Seth is a scientist. I'm a science journalist, and we talk to people smarter than us. We hope you'll take a listen. Well, mine's not going to be as entertaining, certainly, but I have another quiz prepared. Yay. Oh, don't short-selling. I'm underselling, so you'll only be pleasantly surprised.

All right. We're going to go back into the Animal Kingdom here. And I promise, nothing, nothing grows. We had some interesting animals a couple weeks ago on the show. So we're going to talk about superlative animals. Oh. These are fun. And these are really good for trivia contests and pub quiz, you know.

What's the fastest land animal? I believe that's Chris. Yeah. I believe it might be the cheetah. It is, in fact, the cheetah. Yes, that's right. Not a trick question. Over 70 miles an hour they can be clocked at, that's right.

And like to eat Cheetos. Yes. Yes, right. Chester Cheetos. Yeah. They're amazing. They can cover a hundred. 100 meters in just a little bit over six seconds.

So just for comparison, Usain Bolt's world record is 9.58 seconds. So they're a full three plus seconds faster than Usain Bolt. If we had a cheetah and we made him chase after Usain Bolt. Yeah, he would catch him. Usain Bolt would be food. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They have to, you know, stringy, stringy food.

So what is the fastest animal in what? Water. What is the fastest fish, basically, is what I'm asking. Oh. Karen. I know it's a shark, and I think it is called a maki shark. Ooh, wow. Very, very close. So you're thinking, I think, of the Mako shark, which is the fastest shark. But I thought that was the fastest seafaring creature as well. That is incorrect, though. There is a faster animal. Is it a shark?

It's not a shark. It's not a shark. It's actually, it is the... Shark, shark, shark. Say shark again. It's the sailfish. The sailfish, which you often see mounted on trophy boards or whatever. Oh, yeah, okay.

Yeah, they can reach speeds over 65 miles an hour. Right. And, yeah, I mean, obviously, they're known for their speed and their jumping ability. Are they... So, so do they reach that speed in the water? Yes, yes. They can pace boats. They can right alongside.

Wow. Yeah, they're incredibly fast. They can also change. their color like chameleons and finally someone needs to make a horror movie sailfish they're about piranhas when they run out of all the piranha movies yeah exactly

sailfish they change colors I mean that's pretty freaky flying teeth or something feel free to use that Hollywood I'll give you that one for free 3D so we'll we've got land and see what's the fastest animal in the air

so Dana is that per green falcon it is Yes, indeed. It is the Peregrine Falcon, which, by all account, the fastest animal anywhere. So, the fastest animal. Hold up. Yes. I would like to contest that. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. It has the help of gravity. Now, this is true. So it can reach speeds over 200 miles an hour, but it does it when it's doing its... Dive. It has a very characteristic hunting dive attack that it does.

So really, you or I can do the same thing. So if you're using... Well, you need to be aerodynamic. I would wager, you know, I don't take this the wrong way, Chris, but I would rager that a paragon falcon is more aerodynamic than you are. There are a lot of things are. So now I anticipated that someone was going to complain about that. I wanted to see, all right, if you take gravity out of the equation, the

fastest bird is the white-throated needle tail also called a spine-tailed swift. And a swift is they look sort of like swallows or hummingbirds. They're in that same general family. They're tiny. They're not huge.

Right. They're pretty, they're smaller than, you know, other birds of prey. They're bigger than hummingbirds. They're in the same order as hummingbirds. They're the fastest flying in sustained flapping flight. They can reach over a hundred miles an hour sustained, which is still pretty darn fast. Okay. That's very fast. New Hollywood movie idea. Let's combine all of these animals and put them in a horror movie. I was like, wherever you go, there's a fast animal chasing after you now. We can totally sell it to sci-fi. I mean, if they make sharp, arctopus, they'll make our movie. Yes, 3D.

And then just for fun, I was curious. I was curious, what do you guys suppose is the fastest animal subterranean digging through ground? And this is a very unscientific answer. Hardest it might be to believe. This has not been documented well. Do you guys want to hazard a guess?

So I'm thinking, obviously, some sort of mole or fast diggers. Yeah, it's, it is, yeah, it's bad. Badgers basically. So badgers are apparently amazingly talented diggers. They can dig faster than a person with a shovel because they have such huge, huge powerful four legs and these tough claws. There have been stories they can dig through asphalt.

They can dig through blacktop. A badger apparently can completely bury him or herself in under a minute. Can dig straight through to the ground and be covered in under a minute. Badgers. Badgers are amazing. Badgers are amazing. Honey buzzards, too. Honey buzzards.

Honey buzzards. What? Yep. Wait, it can go through, it can tear through asphalt. They have been reported to dig through asphalt and black top and burrow down below. They are tough little suckers, yeah. Cool.

Another horror movie idea. That's for sure. Yeah, dude, swarm of badgers. Tear through your face. And they got these beady little badger eyes. Is it a swarm of badgers? It's not a colony of badgers. I'm going to look that up right now.

A murder of badgers. So, you know, a lot of people, I think, you know, the same way we know, Cheetah's the fastest animal. The largest animal on Earth, you guys might know, is the blue whale. Okay. Okay. The blue whale is the largest animal on earth. When you said Earth, I was thinking of on land. Oh, right. And I was like, well, that's all an accident. This is one of those pieces of trivia that always blows your mind as a kid, because they ask you, like, now, what do you think the largest animal on Earth is? And of course, children always say the elephant. Elephant, right? You're like, no, it's the blue whale. And they're like,

Oh, liars! However, that's not what I'm asking. What is the longest animal on earth? So it's not the blue whale. It's something, I think something with tentacles, right? Like, yeah. Very close. Is it like a jellyfish?

Yep, it is a jellyfish? Is it a Portuguese man of war? I know. I'm going to give Dana the answer on this one. It is the lion's main jellyfish, which is consistently ranked the longest animal. They can reach, they can have tentacles 120 feet long. And these are, you don't want to hang out with these, right? You do not, yeah. You don't want to go

fantasy swing with these. So, yeah, go for the dolphins. If you're offered a choice between swim at the lions and jellyfish or swim with the dolphins, go for the dolphins package. It's worth it, yeah. Now, however, the longest single specimen of an animal ever recorded appears to have been a bootlace worm, which is not a pleasant animal. And I'm not going to get too into the details, but there was one that washed ashore in

1860s that measured 180 feet long. Wow. So it's just a single animal, and these they're super, super thin little worms. Oh, like spaghetti? They're much like spaghetti. They're called bootlace worms, because they look at bootlaces. And just to make them sound even more pleasant,

when you handle them, they produce copious amounts of a thick, pungent mucus. Oh, and also it's toxic. That's just because they like you. But that was a one single animal. So speaking of, though, poison and dangerous things like jellyfish. So I've got two questions here.

So I learned. I educated myself. I didn't realize there was a distinction between venom and poison. So you talk about venomous animals are animals that bite you or sting you or have a venom of some sort. Poisonous animals, meaning just they're producing poison of some kind. So I'm going to ask you two questions. What is the most venomous animal on earth? Is it the man of war?

It's another jellyfish, yeah. It's the box jellyfish. Oh, yes. Yeah, specifically the sea wasp, a variety of the box jellyfish. So how venomous is it? They're so venomous that you have virtually no chance of surviving unless you treat it immediately. And the effect is so overwhelming that I guess like when people are stung by these jellyfish, they'll more often die from drowning or heart failure because the pain is so unbearable.

you go into shock or you can't swim. And yeah, so apply vinegar, which essentially it stops the nematocysts, which are the little... So urine doesn't work. I think that's an urban legend. Yeah, it's vinegar that works. Right, right. What is the most poisonous animal? So meaning this animal doesn't bite you to affect you with its poison.

Oh, but if you eat it? Let's say if you handle it or touch it, right. Or if you were to eat it, right, exactly. I'm going to guess it's some type of frog. You are correct. You are correct. That's right. It is the golden poison dart frog.

Oh, my God. Which is every part of that. That is a video game. Yeah, it is widely accepted to be the most poisonous animal. So these are the frogs that secrete the toxin on their skin so that if they're eaten by other animals or even put in their mouth, they will die. And that's their evolutionary advantage. And they're called the dart frogs because these are, so these are in the rainforest in Columbia. and they're called the dart frogs

because the indigenous peoples there will use the toxin as they'll harvest it and use it on their darts on their darts and arrows and it is you do not want to mess around with it if you accidentally prick yourself it's too bad two micrograms of the toxin can kill a person

so don't touch them they're so poisonous okay okay done Colin Chris is emptying them out of his pockets right now Chris get him out of here but there are reports I'm getting on the phone with my supplier.

I need you to cancel those points in that. Don't know what I was thinking. Are these recyclable? I see here on eBay you have a return policy. I would like to invoke it. All right, we'll wrap it up here with one question on the animals here. Are zebras white with black stripes, or are they black with white stripe? What do you mean being originally one color?

What does that mean? Zebras are a white animal that has black stripes on it. I'm going to pick the opposite. So we used to believe they were white with black stripes because like the largest areas of solid color, like their bellies are white, for example, and things like that. But apparently, embryological evidence shows that their background color is in fact black

and that even the large areas like the white stripes and their large bellies develop later. So the correct answer is they're black with white stripes. You know what? Religiously, I don't believe we should be looking at zes. zebra embryos. True. I just, that's just how I feel.

I think we should harvest them and put them in our spines or something, whatever they do with it. The forefront of the anti-zebra stem cell movement. So for our final quiz of the mega-quiz bonanza episode, I also have something to do with animals, specifically something that I know caramel enjoy. This is a little quiz that I like to call. Is it Disney Animals? No, this is a little quiz that we hear it. Good job, Brayne, like to call

present dogs. I will give you the name of the dog, and you will give me the name of the United States President who owns this dog. Not fair. I'm tweaking this a little bit. They may have owned

the dog prior to their time in the White House, but in general these are, these are the first dogs. The first dogs. She's not from here. The first canines. All you Americans, man. Okay. I'll know one. All right.

Well, I'm starting off with a softball man. All right. Bo. Karen. Obama. Barack Obama. That's the only one I know. I'm sorry.

Which Obama. Okay. All right. So here we go. Millie. It became... Is that Eisenhower? That was not Eisenhower.

This dog actually kind of became a little more famous towards the end of this presidential administration. There was a book called Millie's book as dictated by the dog in which Millie talked about her, her life in the White House. She had puppies. this was relatively recent absolutely yes it was in the 1980s that this happened oh reagan it was in fact no no no um milly was the dog of george hw yes buddy colin colin i think buddy was the clinton's dog buddy was in fact the clinton's dog yes i just remember one true friend socks the cat much more famous for the clinton administration but bill got a puppy named buddy buddy um how about and remember you

You should be able to guess a few of these, like, from the time period. So this is your kid going into a couple of these right now. Who had a dog named Grits? Karen. Jimmy Carter. Yes. Oh, nice. Either southern president.

Grits or peanut. On a similar note, who had a dog named Pushinka? Pushinka. Pushinka. This is an American president. This is an American. U.S. President had a dog named Pushinka. Karen.

Reagan. No. This dog was, in fact, a gift from the Soviet Premier at the time. Oh, oops. Kennedy? It was. In fact, John F. Kennedy. It was given to Jackie Kennedy by Soviet Premier Nikita Kourashev.

Pushinka was the puppy of one of the first Soviet space dogs. That's a good one. That's a good one. That is cool. I want a space dog. Do you know what president had a dog named Barney? Yeah. Yes?

That was George W. Bush. That was, in fact, George W. Bush's dog. How do you guys know? Because, like, they would have any books and things like that. I feel like we were looking at this before. I know who had a dog named Chequers, famously. Oh, Nixon. Nixon had a dog named Chequers.

He talked about his dog named Chequers in an election speech. And a Chequers speech came to be a political term for a speech in which the politician appeals to the emotions of his, which had a situation. for him was really key because that was, you know, obviously one of Nixon's biggest issues is seeming warm and human. Right, right, right. Who had a dog named Fala, Fala, Fala? Oh, I've heard this.

Fala was the subject of two movies. Fala was the loyal dog of this president. Oh. Was it FDR? God damn it. Yeah. Two movies about Fala. Scotty.

Who had, okay, this is going to be our last question. Who? Who? What American president? owned dogs named Sweet Lips, Sentwell, Vulcan, drunkard, taster, Tipler, and Tipsy.

Oh, my goodness. This president was a dog lover. Had a lot of dogs. Karen. Theodore Roosevelt. Not Theodore Roosevelt. Who owned many, many animals. Yeah, I thought because he was a big animal guy.

And a big hunter, but, yeah. What a little bit of the White House? They were hunting dogs. Sweet Lifts, Sentwell, and Vulcan were actually stag hounds, and drunkard, taster, Tipler, and Tipsy were coon hounds. Hunting dogs. Hunting dogs.

Humping dogs. Was it Lyndon Johnson? It was, in fact, I will tell you, George Washington. Oh. Many, many dogs, and those were the names. Wonderful, wonderful dog names. In the process of the research for this,

I found some other interesting animals that were owned by presidents during their home of the White House. John Quincy Adams owned an alligator. Sure. Rutherford B. Hayes owned a cat named Siam, who was the first ever Siamese cat ever brought

into the U.S. Wait, who did? Brotherford B. Hayes. Wow. And finally, true story, Benjamin Harrison owned two possums and their names were

Mr. Reciprocity and Mr. Protection. Oh my God, that's so cute. I want a comic about that. I imagine them in like little top hats and monocles and spats.
