Starting point is 00:03:43 All right. Good job, Brains. And today is episode 120. In every fifth episode, we do a all-quiz bananza, where we don't have a theme. We just each prepared our own quizzes. and puzzle segments to stump each other and stump you guys listeners. Oh, God, what is 120 divided by? What's the rule?
Starting point is 00:04:03 It's, uh, remember the guy who gives the rule? Oh, 24. You double it and drop the zero. Oh, 24. That was such an annoying dad thing to say. What's the rule? What's the rule? I was like, dad, Jesus Christ.

Starting point is 00:04:31 So this week is all quiz. Bonanza number 24. Who wants to go first? I can go first. Okay, you do that. A while back, I contributed to a Kickstarter campaign for an upcoming book called The Maze of Games. And so the maze of games is actually, it's available to Kickstarter backers now, and it's going to be available for everybody very soon, imminently.
Starting point is 00:05:02 And this was put together by a company called Lone Shark Games, as in a single shark. Like only one shark. My lone wolf. Oh, got it. And basically, they're calling it a puzzle novel. So you start reading the novel, which is about these two British, old-timey siblings, kids who get sucked into this devilish book of puzzles and traps. And then as you do each page of the story, you have a logic puzzle that you have to solve. And the whole book, the pages are out of order and you have to figure out which puzzle to solve when by solving mazes that tell you which puzzle to go to next.
Starting point is 00:05:41 And it's all a lot of fun. I mean, you know, if you're a good job brain listener, this might be the sort of thing that's up your alley to check out the maze of games. And so for the last week or so, I've just been thinking all in terms of puzzles. So I have a puzzle for you guys later on, another wordplay puzzle. So here's one that is directly inspired by the word maze. Oh, I should also say, excuse me, our own Tyler Hinman, previous Good Job Brain guest host actually has a puzzle in the maze of games. I'm going to give you a hint about a word, and each of the answers to this quiz, the word itself, has the letters M-A-Z-E, somewhere in that order. In that order.
Starting point is 00:06:24 Oh, all right. Yes. So you need to say, for example. For example, I would say... Corn. You call it corn. Oh, okay. May is.
Starting point is 00:06:32 It's not the same way. Mays, M-A-Z-E. Exactly. It's too easy for it to be a question, so it is the example. All right. Here we go. Oh, yeah, buzz in, please. Okay.

Starting point is 00:08:26 This is a notepad quiz, so you've got to write down your answers. It lost my notepad. Here it is. And so the premise of this, I've always, I always love company name origins and etymology and what companies used to be called and, you know, how people come up with names for their companies. So here I have assembled famous companies whose company names are of a foreign language. Okay. Or it had origins of a foreign language. So what I need you guys to write down is what language do you think this company got its name from?
Starting point is 00:09:00 You don't have to tell me what it means. If you do, you can. But what language? Got it. All right. Here we go. The first one is Hulu. What language?

Starting point is 00:09:39 Hulu kind of two plays on words so Hulu pronounced in one way means like interactive recording so it kind of sounds like that But the actual word Hulu, it means a gourd.
Starting point is 00:09:54 That kind of looks like a figure 8, like a snowman. Okay. And it's kind of auspicious in the Chinese culture. So Hulu, yeah. Please be specific on this one. The company, Dekine. De Kine. Backpacks, hiking gear, outdoorsy stuff.
Starting point is 00:10:11 D-A-K-I-N-E. Oh, okay. A little bit of a trick. All right. Colin says Hawaiian Pigeon and Dana says Hawaiian and Chris says Creole It is Hawaiian pigeon

Starting point is 00:10:37 The camera company Canon What language is canon from Or originate from Or the name Canon Not like the gun not like C-A-N-O-N Okay
Starting point is 00:10:51 Colin says Japanese Dana says Japanese and Chris says Latin It is Japanese Canon comes from K-A-N-O-N-I-N I'm not really sure how to pronounce it K-W-A-N-O-N
Starting point is 00:11:08 which is the Japanese name for the Buddhist Bodhisattah I know as Kuan-Ying And then they changed it from K-W-A-N-O-N-N-N-N- Cannon. So it's actually a name, it's a Japanese name. Another one. Ubuntu. Ubuntu. A couple of companies have this name. There's a restaurant called Ubuntu, but also, you know, mostly the software.

Starting point is 00:22:29 It's not like Edgar Wright set out to make the Cornetto trilogy. Some astute fans just kind of. of like made fun of it started lovingly calling it the cornetto series right and so there's a color a color symbol i guess yep so sean of the dead had red rapper uh cornetto and red being blood and the second one was the blue package cornetto because blue and uh police police yeah and then the green one is the mint that signifying the aliens in world 10 very very i'm a big fan you're very you're very close.

Starting point is 00:23:15 flavor cornetto. Sort of sort of the pink to go with the gore of the zombies. Hot Fuzz, the original is the blue. The blue color is the original Coronado. And that was in hot fuzz. And then you only see the wrapper of the green cornetto in the third film. They decided to complete the trilogy.

Starting point is 00:27:20 Oh, thanks. Yeah. All right, we're going to take a break, and I haven't done this in a while. I have a sponsored ad quiz, and we have a new sponsor this week. It is Mont and Bo, a purveyor of designer men. And jeans with a cool balloon legs videos that I watch is very mesmerizing. Denim for him? Yeah, denim for him.
Starting point is 00:27:42 I kind of read up on the tradition and the history of a good old pair of jeans. And there weren't a fashion statement. They were for coal miners or it was like for factory workers. So here I have a quiz and I want you guys to thumbs up for true and thumbs down for false. And I'm going to make a couple statements about some iconic pieces of clothing. and the people who wear them. Okay. And I want you guys to see if it's true.
Starting point is 00:28:07 They did actually wear them or false. They did not wear them. It is a product of marketing and lies and stories. Okay. Does that make more sense? Yes. All right. So, I don't have an example.
Starting point is 00:28:19 Let's just do it. Let's just do it. All right. Thumbs up for true. Up for true. Down for marketing and lies. All right. Yes.
Starting point is 00:28:26 So the beret. We always see French people portray wearing berets, maybe in a stripy shirt or like a French mimes. Did the beret actually have a French origin? True or false? Chris says false. Dan and Colin says true. It is true.
Starting point is 00:28:45 The modern beret actually originated in the Basque country, so both Spanish and French. Okay, the Fu Manchu mustache. Is it actually Chinese or not Chinese? Oh, interesting. Okay, Dana and Collins says true again, and Chris says false. Chinese people did support the Fumanchu mustache. I'm so skeptical.
Starting point is 00:29:14 So a little bit more information on this. It was reported that the Mongolians actually did have that style where you have a mustache and it's very long on the ends and they have like a chin kind of long tail too. They have found paintings of like Chinese paintings of Chinese people wearing that mustache. However, the name Fu Manchu is, was named after a evil Chinese kind of character featured in a mystery, like a Western mystery. That type of mustache did exist. The name Fu Manchu is, you know. It carries a lot of baggage with it.
Starting point is 00:29:48 It carries a lot of baggage. A lot of tourism to Hawaii, and we always think of grass skirts and hula and coconut bras. And Hawaiians ever wear coconut bras. the ladies did they originate it did they it was it was it actually a Hawaiian tradition everybody thumbs down
Starting point is 00:30:10 you are correct yeah yeah Hawaiian coconut bras not really sure where it came from yeah right yeah I don't need to have boobs myself to imagine that would be wildly uncomfortable a possible explanation is you know they were topless and so for a lot of
Starting point is 00:30:25 the paintings or a lot of they don't want to seem vulgar so they try to cover them up and it looks more like it already looks like a boobs. Right. It looks more like a boob. Like a hairy boob. See you in your dreams. A hard. A rigid.
