You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
Hello, warm-blooded wardrobe wards, warlocks, and warblers.
Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.
This is episode 120, and of course, I'm your
humble host, Karen, and we are your
weekly Wikipedia
wielding weevils. I'm Colin.
I'm Dana. And I'm Chris.
All right, without further ado,
let's jump into our first general
trivia segment. Pop quiz, hot shot.
Here I have a random
Trivial Pursuit card, and you guys have your
morning radio zoo buzzers.
Here we go. First
question, blue edge for geography.
What? U.S. airport
was once named
Orchard Field.
All right.
I think that's O'Hare.
Correct.
It's ORD.
Yep.
The airport code ORD refers to its original name.
Orchard Field.
I thought about putting that one in my airport quiz from last episode.
I decided not to.
Okay.
Pink Wedge for Pop Culture.
When Silvio from The Sopranos says,
Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in.
What movie is he quoting from?
The Godfather Part 3
Oh yeah
Famously
Yeah
The only part of that movie
Anybody actually remembers
Because mostly it's like three hours
Of old Al Pacino
Dottering around
Going stuff
Stuff
All right
Yellow Wedge
What musical act
Was sued by the estate
Of civil rights pioneer
Rosa Parks
For naming a song after her
Data
Outcast.
Yes, outcast.
The suit was settled out of court.
Purple Wedge, in Greek mythology, what nymph was jilted by narcissus, then pined away for him until nothing but her voice.
I know this.
Yeah.
Dana.
It's Echo.
Echo, echo.
I like how everybody's like, oh.
No, I knew the answer.
You're like, who pine for narcissus?
Yes.
I know.
Too many hints.
We get all the text on the card, Dana.
Is this trivia or is this trivia?
Are we playing trivia or trivia?
All right.
Ooh, good one.
Greenwich for science.
Which animal is loudest?
The blue whale, the howler monkey, or hyena.
Oh, interesting.
Blue whale.
Correct.
Yeah.
It just got a lot of power and, you know?
And volume.
Right.
Their sounds go up to 188 decibels.
I have no idea what in context that is.
No frame of reference.
Yeah.
No frame of reference.
All right.
Last question.
Orange Wed.
What 1988 Olympian hit his head on the diving board during competition, but went on to win gold?
Man.
That is Greg Luganus.
Yes, Greg Luganus.
I can watch most sports injury clips.
That one, I can't.
I watch it once.
Yeah, that one's, it's really hard to watch.
Wait, so he hit his head and then kept swimming?
It was just diving, diving, yeah.
But he won.
They get all the gold anyway.
I feel like you should lose points if you hit your head on the day.
Well, he didn't get points on that.
But in diving, it's about a sequence of dives.
Got it.
But he was that good on his other dives.
Right.
Yeah.
Because you see it, just slammed his head.
Oh, my goodness.
And every other dives, like, that was pretty good for a guy who just slammed him.
Ten.
Ten.
Ten.
Can't believe your life.
Great.
Just sit down.
It's okay, buddy.
Yeah.
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?
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.
Like, I don't let go.
Just tell me.
Yeah, I was like, Colin, can you just tell me.
What's the rule?
I'm having a panic attack.
I could teach Karen to finish for her.
That's exactly a desk.
Double and drop zero.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah.
Make pronouncements about good and bad behavior.
Colin.
Moralize?
Moralize.
Wow.
Yes, yes.
Underscore.
Stana.
Emphasize.
Emphasize.
Robotic.
Karen.
Mechanized.
Mechanized.
Yeah.
To make something more attractive.
Colin.
And blaze?
No, that's not.
I was going to emblazing, but that's Z-O-N.
There's a little bit of a pun going on here.
Karen
Materialize?
No?
Make up eyes.
To make it attract things to myself.
Dana.
Magnetized.
Wink, wink.
Wink.
Recap.
Karen.
Summarize.

Once a month.
Oh.
Karen.

To arm one's country.
Colin.
Militarize.
Militarize.
And finally, the closest relative of the bonobo.
Chimpanzee.
Chimpanzee.
There we go.
Oh, good.
All right, there we go.
Amazing job.
That was good.
All right.
My turn.
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?
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?
Hulu, the streaming site company.
What language is the word Hulu from?
why are you looking at it?
I was like I wrote
yeah
All right
answers up
Colin says
Swahili
Dana says
Hawaiian
and Chris also says
Hawaiian
it is Mandarin Chinese
Really?
Interesting
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.
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.
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
Yeah
Not Hawaiian
It's native people who are in Hawaii
They mean the kind right
Yeah
The kind
Yeah kind
All right
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
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
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.
All right. Answers up. Colin says Swahili. Dana says Swahili and Chris says Afrikaans. It is Swahili. Have you gotten any one of these rights? I don't think so, no. It's a Zulu word for.
Humanity to Others is Ubuntu.
It's also a fun, fun name.
Here, the video game company, Idos, E-I-D-O-S.
Idos.
What language is that from?
Colin says Greek, Dana says Greek, and Chris says French.
All wrong, it is Latin.
It means idea.
So it is actually the, not sibling word, but the other word, ethos, it's the opposite, idos, ethos and idos.
All right, next one.
There's a bit of an easier one.
Zappos, it's not a one-to-one.
You know, what is the origin name from?
Okay.
Zappos.com, where you buy stuff.
All right, answers up.
Colin says Spanish.
Dana says...
Italian, Latin, it's a Latin, and Chris says Greek.
It is Spanish.
It is a short form for Zapatoz.
I didn't know that until you just said not one to one.
I'm like, oh my God, Zapatos.
I never thought about that.
All right, next one.
Sony.
Sony actually is a pormanto of two words, but you can give me either.
It's fine.
This seems like there's a distractor.
There's the obvious answer.
Yeah.
Obvious could be right.
All right.
There's two answers.
It is kind of a combination of two.
All right.
Answers up.
I'm going to be overthinking.
Colin says English.
Davis is Japanese and Chris says English.
It is Latin sonus, sonis, meaning sound, and sunny.
S-O-N-N-Y slang word used by Americans and British about kids.
So it's a mix between the Latin word, sonis, and sunny.
Sonny Boy.
Okay.
Although English works.
Yeah.
So English is correct.
Random.
The original company was Tokyo Telecommunications Engineering Corporation.
Sony is a little bit snappier.
It fits a lot better on the front of the TV.
All right.
Next one.
Nokia.
What language is Nokia from?
Start out as a paper manufacturer.
I don't know if you guys know that.
You might have had that on the show before.
Yeah, paper manufacturer.
Answers up.
Colin says,
Danish. Dana says Japanese and Chris says Swedish. It is Finnish. Nokia is a Finnish company. Not a big true. It does sound Japanese. A lot of people get a city in Finland. That's where they open one of the factories and they change their name. Oh, okay. I think I thought it maybe was a portmanteau or something. Okay. All right. Last one. Etsy. Etsy.com where you buy your cozies and your handcrafted stuff. Etsy.com.
All right, Colin says Latin, Dana says English slash French, and Chris says Italian.
Chris is correct.
Oh, Italian.
Founder of Etsy wanted kind of a nonsense word.
He was watching Falini's eight and a half.
And in Italian, you say Etsy a lot.
Like, oh, yes.
Got it.
So Etsy, Etsy.
He named his company.
I always thought it was a pun on et cetera.
Yeah.
I actually did.
I didn't have, I know what you were Etsy, like, Itsy, like, Etsy, like, Etsy, crafty, yeah.
I was thinking of Etsio from the Assassin's screen video.
Yeah, right.
Well, that was it.
Yeah, no.
I got you there.
Well, I know, like, when you're, like, you know, like, command line stuff in the terminal, a lot of times, like, the ETC folder.
I hear people call that the Etsy folder.
So I thought that was where, yeah.
Oh, okay.
Well, good job, you guys.
There are some, uh, cool.
Insights into company names.
Worldly.
Worldly.
Quite.
All right.
I will go third.
with a third-themed quiz.
Okay.
I was waiting.
I had to wait two whole round.
That's so calling.
I have a quiz called in threes.
So the clues for all of the questions here will be the first two parts of a famous trio of things.
So I will name the first two and you tell me what is the third place person thing?
So you not only need to complete the sequence, you need to tell me what is the thing.
So, for example, if I were to say snap, crackle, and you would say pop, and they are the mascots for Rice Krispies cereal.
Okay, okay, got it.
So two pieces of information.
Again, some of these may be a little trickier than others.
I thought you might like this one.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All right.
Latvia, Lithuania, and Karen.
Estonia, and those are the Baltic countries.
Correct.
Lot via, Lithuania, Estonia, the Bay.

And the Santa Maria, the ships that Columbus sailed to America.
Indeed, indeed.
The Belmont Stakes, the Preakness, and Chris.
The Kentucky Derby, the Triple Crown horse races.
That is right, the three races of the American Triple Crown event, yes.
Can you say the first two again?
The Belmont Stakes.
A lot of them have stakes after the title, like betting stakes.
What's the second one?
The Preakness.
Wow.
P-R-E-A-K-N-E-A-A.
This comes up in trivia a lot.
One of the, question about one of the three races, yeah.

Oh!
Oh, wait.
Dana.
Shoot.
I'm sorry.
You guys can work together.

In their most famous
core
Those three guys

Dana with the backwards out of order
The answer then the bell
Yes the Titanic

The White Star Line
They had the Olympic class
of ocean liners, and those were the three sister ships.
The Titanic, as we know, had an ill-fated maiden voyage.
The Britannic sunk by a mine in 1916.
The Olympic did go on to have a nice, long career, though.
Gold, frankincense, and Chris.
And Mur.
And Mur.
And Y-R-R-H.
And what are gold, frankincense, and Mur?

Yeah.
Bonus questions.
Anyone want to, oh, well, that's a super bonus here.
Balthazar, Melchior, and Caspar.
Wow, very, very good job.
Just kidding.
Yeah, Balthasar from Arabia, Melchior from Persia, and Caspar from India.
What I was going to ask is, does anyone want to take a crack at, what are frankincense and mer?
I mean, frankincense is incense, right?
Yeah, at the most part, right.
And Mur is a spice, I think?
So both frankincense and Mur kind of, they come from trees.
They come from, like, their resins.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Mur is more like an oil, yeah, like an essential.
It's been used in medicine, also used in incense, perfumes, right?
You can mix it up and drinks and drink it.
Gross.
And gold is gold.
Gold. Gold is gold.
Yeah.
Got it.
And I should say, our baby shower is coming up.
if anybody wants to send any of those three,
any of those three, that's fine.
Care of good job, Brains, P.L. Box.
You're going to get all myrrh.
Yeah, nothing.
The chiefest thing.
Yeah, yeah.
This one might be a little tricky here.
I wish I could do that on, like, an Amazon,
just send people to, like, at Amazon,
wish list.
And it's just the three things.
That'd be funny.
And, of course, like, from the third person on,
when they get there, they'd be, oh, dang it.
Oh, everything's not.
Yeah.
It's the only one.
Frankencense.
All right, this might be a little tricky here.
We'll see how well you guys know this one.
Athos, Porthos, Chris.
An Aramis.
Correct.
And they're paled d'artagnan.
That's right.
The three musketeers.
They are the three musketeers.
They title characters.
And they're friends, even though there's four of them.
Yeah, well, you know, D'Artagnan's sort of the pro-the-teg.
Yeah, yeah, tell and tales.
Yes, from Alexander Dumas, book of the same name.
Porthos.
Athos.
Athos.
Porthos and Aramis, correct.
And D'Artagnan.
Our hero, D'Artagnan.
Frank book, Mr. D'Amass.
All right.
It's Duma.
All right, we'll close down here with this one.
Sean of the Dead.
Yeah.
Hot Fuzz.
Yeah.
And.
Carin.
Together.
At World's End.
The World's End.
The Coronado trilogy.
Yes.
The three flavor.
Cornetto Trilogy.
By Edgar Wright.
Yes.
Now, so that is the set of three movies directed by Edgar Wright, written by Simon Pegg and
Edgar Wright, and featuring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost.
Yes, and the sidekick role and all of those.
Now, can you guys explain what does that mean?
What is the Cornetto trilogy?
What does that mean?
So, Coronado is, it's an ice cream.
Ice cream cone.
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. The only thing you mixed up there is, uh, it was actually, they noticed it
after the second film. And so the first film, so the original Sean of the Dead had a strawberry
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.
And when you buy the box set, in fact, of the movies, they're called the three,
Flavors cornetto trilogy box set.
All right.
Well done, guys.
Well done.
So I have a quiz for you guys.
A pretty basic bio quiz.
Just how well do you know your bodies?
Oh, all right?
You ready?
That's kind of bio.
Yeah.
Everybody has a notebook or like a little pad of paper.
Yes.
I'll ask these questions.
We'll start off.
Kind of easy.
How many pairs of ribs does the normal?
human have. Oh, man. All right. Pairs. Pairs. Pairs of ribs. Okay.
Let's see, one, two, two, three, he's cheating. He's cheating. He's cheating. He's counting. He's touching. He's touching himself. He's
touching himself. Yeah, you can't. What you got? You got, Colin says 12, Karen says 11. Chris
says 14. It is 12. All in the ballpark. Yeah. We have 24 individuals, 12 pairs. How many
teeth does a normal human have
adult
three, four, five
and five. All right, you have
just five more seconds.
Stop counting.
All right. You ready?
Colin says 32. Karen says 28.
Chris says 36.
It's 32.
Oh, man.
So the human body is
98.6 degrees
Fahrenheit. What temperature is at
Celsius?
Oh, geez. Yeah. So British people are like,
You're going to my answer to this.
Or basically everybody else who doesn't use paranoid.
Oh, I'm so bad with these conversions.
Oh, I think I'm way low.
And Chris needs to hurry up.
60,000.
Great.
All right.
Carry the seven.
All right.
Colin says 20.
Karen says 39.
Chris says 1,600.
It is 37.
Yeah.
Sorry, I was putting the fever temperature.
Okay.
Running hot.
True or.
False. Every person has a unique
tongue print.
I hope
it's this. Everyone says true. It's true.
Yeah. Oh, tone prints
for everybody.
True or false? Babies have
more bones than adults.
Huh.
What a weird question. Isn't it
weird? Fascinating.
Our bodies change.
Everyone says true. It is true.
Yeah. Babies have 300 bones.
have 206.
Oh, okay.
Things fuse together.
You have all those separate bones and the baby has a soft spot and they fuse.
Oh.
So it's not like they disappear.
They just become one.
Exactly.
Which grows faster?
Beard hair or leg hair.
Wow.
Everybody says beard.
It is beard hair.
Oh, okay.
My bikini zone is another story.
Don't get me started.
That might be faster than beard hair.
Yeah, that's more about
How you call it bikinis
That's exactly what it's called
Right, right
All right
All right
Where is your P-I-N-N-A
Oh
Just do it
Just go
Do it
Do it
All right
Everyone said
Everyone is right ears
Oh sweet
Wow
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
It's a part of your ear that's visible from the outside.
Oh.
Everyone's pinna is different.
They have used earprints to...
Oh, earprints for everyone.
Yeah.
Your tongue and your ear are your own.
Yeah.
Good job, you guys.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Anyway, totally false.
All right.
Sombreros, the Mexican sombrero.
Did it originate from Mexico?
Sombreros, the hat that you get.
When it's your birthday at Chevys,
you give you a sombrero.
Now reduced to just being.
the hat you get when it's your birthday
at Chevy's. I'm trying to understand, or did it come with
the Spanish? Oh.
Everybody says true, yes.
Okay, cool. It's a typical
kind of rancher, worker hat,
a wide brim to block
out the sun, very similar to
cowboy hats in American culture.
So true. All right, did
Vikings actually wear helmets
with horns on them? Oh.
Of course, like, for all
of these, like I'm picturing Bugs Bunny,
in whatever scenario.
I'm like Bugs Bunny with a coconut raw.
Bugs Bunny with the Viking helmet.
I picture it's a small world.
True or false?
Everybody says false, and you guys are all correct.
There is no evidence that Vikings actually wore those helmets with the horns.
The imagery actually probably comes from Wagner operas.
The costume designer.
Totally correct.
And I have a last tidbit for you guys.
a question. So I was wondering where tutus came from. You know, ballet dancers always
where tutus, where did the word come from? Tuts, the popular theory is that Tuts is very similar
to Kuku, which is a more childish way of saying but-but. Oh, like in French, right? Isn't that
like slang? It's French kiddie slang for for butt. Yeah. Ah. Kind of change it to Tutsu.
I like butt butt. But-butt.
It's like a sombrero for your butt
It does
It is a sombrero for your butt
Oh my god
That is exactly what a tutu is
Protecting your butt from the sun's
So there you go

all around us right now are
arcade games that I have hidden
in a variety of sentences.
Oh, okay.
Will Shorts,
key of the New York Times crossword section.
He likes to do these, actually.
Sentences in which words have been hidden
somewhere in the middle of the sentence,
possibly crossing over between two words.
And all of these,
they are actually arcade video games,
coin-operated video games of the classic era.
Some of them more well-known than others,
but you'll be able to find it.
We're going to be buzzing in when you have the right answer,
but I'm sure everybody is going to want
a pen and paper, maybe to write some of these down.
But, you know, if you're not getting it, I'll nudge you towards the right part of the sentence.
Don't worry, it's all in good fun here.
These are...
Why are you looking at me when you say that?
Like, here, it's too competitive.
Too competitive.
You're paranoid.
Okay, so, for example, if I were to say, I got poison ivy and I got a steroid shot,
Colin, asteroids.
Wow.
And a steroid shot, all right.
Well, I had a lot of red herrings in the first part of this.
Right, right, right.
Yes, yeah, I tried to make them as short as possible, so there's as few.
But makes sense.
But makes sense, exactly.
Some of these even refer to the game itself, although I was not able to do that for all of them, let me tell you.
All right, okay, here we go.
Your first one, don't set drinks upon glass surfaces.
Don't set drinks upon glass surfaces.
Oh.
Upon.
Pawn, yes, upon glass surfaces.
There's a pawn.
All right.
Here's an even shorter sentence for you.
Maestro, no more music.
Maestro, no more music.
This game had a, uh, had a famous movie.
Oh!
Tron!
Tron.
Tron, yeah.
Yes, okay.
Uh, this sentence, uh, actually does describe the game.
If you want a quartet, risky moves won't help.
Uh, Colin?
Uh, Tetris.
Tetris.
Wow.
Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Dun-da-dun.
my loving aunt lets me play this game
Colin
Gauntlet
Gauntlet
Yes
I always forget
I say aunt or aunt
interchangeably because I'm from Connecticut
What do you guys say?
Ant
I say aunt
Oh okay so it's all ant all the time over here right
I think it depends
Yeah really?
Auntie auntie
Yeah auntie but not auntie
Yeah
But not Auntie
But auntie
When I'm playing this system
Pester me not
Pestor me not.
Tampus.
Tampus.
Tampus.
Colin's starting to rock these.
He's starting to get his...
I don't think I know that many arcade video.
Right, right, right.
Tempus was one of my favorites, so I love that, yeah.
Okay, this will be a lot easier for you.
Pac-Man.
I'm sorry.
I love my two-pack.
Man.
To talk.
Listen to the new two-hawk, man.
Does the Vatican have games for the Pope?
Yes.
Dana.
Popeye.
Popeye.
Yeah, Popeye.
Oh.
There it is.
Oh, wow.
Yep.
And finally...
You have so many good red herrings, because I'm thinking, like, what is the weird word out of the sentence?
Right.
And I'm picking the wrong color.
I was like, yes, that's what we're doing.
So one more for you.
This game is more obscure, but it's a common English word.
And it actually, I'll tell you, it stretches across four words in this sentence.
And this sentence does, in fact, I actually, I'm actually really proud of this.
Let me tell you, because this sentence actually does describe the game.
All right.
The bandit takes her if failure is your end
The bandit takes her if failure is your end
Colin may want to write it down
He's trying to do it in his head
He's had a lot of luck so far
The bandit takes her if failure is your
end.
Oh.
Karen?
Sheriff?
Sheriff.
Sheriff.
Oh, it was the sheriff?
Yeah, yeah.
Oh.
That was a name.
Oh, okay.
That was a common English word.
I don't remember that game.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, it's older.
Wow.
The bandit takes her if failure is your own.
Dana.
There is.
Yeah.
Didn't even know you had it.
Oh, takes.
The bandit takes her.
If.
Er, if.
Yeah.
Very good.

And we got one last quiz segment.
Yeah.
What is it?
So I've got a quiz for you guys called Slow Down, Lady.
And...
I had as much fun
just writing that on our little sign-up sheet
Slow down, lady
So Karen, a few months ago
I had shared something with you
That I stumbled across on the internet
Which was
Someone
Yeah, you narrow it down
Someone discovered that if you slow down
The Dolly Parton song
Jolene
Oh yeah
Yeah, did you see this on the internet
From 45 RPM to 33 RPM
It is still a bad
ass song even just it changes it completely the feel of it just gets a lot more just downbeat and
smoky and and very manly yeah so so let me play that for you guys very quickly okay
jolline jolline jolline jolline jolline jolline i'm begging of you please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene.
Yeah, it kind of gives me chills.
That's a transformation of it.
Yeah, yeah.
So I've put together some other famous songs by female singers, and I've slowed them down.
The same proportion.
So from...
Oh, it's a lady.
Yeah, slow down, lady, right.
So these are all...
These are all women.
Next one gets slowed out, man.
I've forgotten the name of the quiz.
They're all really famous hit songs.
You guys will probably recognize them.
So in order to make this somewhat quiz-like, I want you guys to just raise a finger as soon as you identify the singer and the song.
And whoever recognizes it last will win the prize of giving me the answer.
Fair enough?
Okay.
All right.
Some of them you'll probably get right away.
That's interesting.
So it's like you have to get it.
guess if you don't know. Right. All right, here we go. So again, I need a singer and song.
Had to face another day
All right
You all got it pretty quickly
But Karen got it last
Karen

It really changes it
You're like, it's this, who is this voice?
Right.
All right, here we go.
Next one.
free
That I really had
I know
I know
I know the song
I just don't know
that is
Borderline
Yeah
That also sound like an 80s song
But like a slow ballad
Like a dude ballad
The synth kind of gives it away
For 80s for sure
All right
A little bit newer one here
Tell me
Who and what is this
song.
Okay.
All right, I think Chris is passing on this one.
It's Katie Perry.
Katie Perry.

Yes.
Her voice really dropped a lot more than I would have guessed.
You know, I kind of associate her with.
She does.
It gets accentuated more.
Here we go.
Next one.
Who and what do we have here.
I let it fall
My heart
And does it fail
You rose to claim it
It was dark
And I was over
Until you kissed my lips
And you saved me

Oh, yes.
Okay.
Sounds like Adele.
Yeah, it is Adele.
I don't know what song.
Chris, you want to...
Sit fire to the rain.
Correct.
Oh, wow.
Adele, set fire to the rain.
You know, it's funny, like, with enough time, I think I would have gotten borderline,
but it's like, I'm trying to, like, rush myself, like, through all the lyrics so I can get to the chorus.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
The sounds of it are not there, you know?
All right.
Well, we'll close it out with this one, and so you can get it first.
Here we go.
Slow down, lady.
