All quiz. There's no topic or theme. We all prepared little quizzes and puzzles to quiz each other and, of course, quiz you guys, listeners. So today is all-quiz Bonanza number 25. Oh, man. Oh, wait. Yeah.

So all-quiz number 25, who wants to go first? I have a quiz that I remember from high school, at least. This was something where, like, every few years, like, teachers, when they had nothing to teach or, you know, sometimes those days when it's like, we've reached the end of lessons or like it's like study hall. Yeah.

You know, we have nothing to do. It's like they'll pass out some fun, you know, handout and mimeograph thing. Right, right. And I just remember this quiz. And basically it was this quiz about abbreviations. It would give you like a number and then a few letters after it

and you had to figure out what it was abbreviating. So, for example, like this, it would just be a whole list of things. And it would be like, Oh. See? I know.

You know this thing? Yeah. Yeah. Like off the sheet that's been like photocopied, then photocopied again. And there's, and the weird thing is there's some of them are, are unfigureoutable because like we would realize that this quiz, I think it might have originated in Britain because there's stuff about like, it was like six balls to an over in cricket. But it would say six B to an O in C and you had to figure out what that meant.

But we had no reference point. Yeah. And so, like, you know, for example, it would say 26 L of the A. Letters of the alphabet. Right. So, 26 letters of the alphabet. See? See?

See? It's, like, kind of puzzly, kind of education. So I pulled a whole bunch of them. Some of them are easy. Some of them are difficult. So we'll see if you can remember. Oh, I need a pad of paper for this. So just go ahead and buzz in when you've got it right.

All right. Okay. 7D and a W. Dana. Seven days in a week. Seven days in a week. 13 S on a U.S.F. Colin.

It's crazy, right? I want to go find that whole sheet again now. It must be, I'm sure, on the internet, like everything else. That was fun. And it's all the same. The weird part is I thought I would find, like, a variety, like all variations. on this and could pull from different ones. Every copy of this on the internet

is the same questions in the same order. Maybe we should write an update one. Like, 140C in a T. If it's the same list I remember, they were like, what was that? A 140C in a T. 140C, oh, characters in a tweet. Yeah.

Yeah, you're right. That would be the only way to update it. There were a lot. I seem to remember that. There were like 100 on that list or something. Right. There were a lot on the list. And again, a lot of them, especially towards the ones we couldn't get, turn out to be, like, one of them was like, 100 C and a R.

And it was scents in a RAND. Oh, okay. It was like, so, I mean, it just came from some, there were things about, like, you know, players in rugby and things like that. So it's like, clearly, I think it came from the UK and made its way to the U.S. I can just change it to 100C and a D. Right. And yet no one did. And yet no one changed it.

Really? It's always the same. Plagrism, teachers. Plagiarism. Yeah, right. Oh, my God. Yeah. Copyright is really the issue.

issue. Check your work. Check your work. This is something. Cite your sources. Yeah. Well, speaking of British sayings and UK phrasing, that actually is a good segue for what I would like to quiz you guys on. Let me begin with a quote. Let's say quote from Oscar Wilde. We and the Americans have much in common, but there is always the language barrier. Yeah. Sure. Yeah. So I have a quiz for you guys about not just British slang, but British sayings. Things that they say in the UK, words that they may use that we don't use. A lot of these, you know, just as being trivia players, I'm sure you guys know,

I mean, we, you know, Lori is truck and Lyft is elevator. And when someone from the UK says crisps, they're talking about potato chips, right, exactly. And when they see chips, they mean French fries. Right, right, and so on. So I will give you guys a British saying, British phrase, and you tell me what, what is the American English equivalent? Oh, sure. So, so, If you are a British listener, you can just sit back and sit back and laugh at how many of these that we may not know. So you guys each have a pad and pen. I will read out the British saying, word or phrase, and you guys write down what you think it is. And I'll encourage you to take a funny guess if you don't have something.

for incest. They married their own relatives. in order to consolidate power and keep their blood blue. But they were oblivious to the havoc all this inbreeding was having on the health of their offspring. From Egyptian pharaohs marrying their own sisters to the Habsburg's notoriously oversized lower jaws. I explore the most shocking incestuous relationships

and tragically inbred individuals in royal history. And that's just episode one. On the History Tea Time podcast, I profile remarkable queens and LGBTQ plus royals, explore royal family trees, and delve into women's medical history and other fascinating topics. I'm Lindsay Holiday, and I'm spilling the tea on history. Join me every Tuesday for new episodes of the History Tea Time podcast, wherever fine podcasts are enjoyed. History never says goodbye. It just says, see you later. Edward Galliano was right when he said that. Events keep happening over and over again, in some form. And that's the reason I produced the podcast, My History Can Beat Up Your Politics. What is it?

We take stories of history and apply them to the events of today to help you perhaps understand. the better. We are also part of Airwave Media Network. I've been doing the program since 2006. That's a long time, and the show has a long name. My history can beat up your politics. Find me wherever you get podcasts. And we're back. You're listening to Good Job Brains, our all-quiz bonanza number 25. Who's next? Here's a quiz called movie moniker. I'm going to tell you the names of three actors in a certain film, and you give me the film. Okay.

This might be a bit difficult, so I'm going to let you in in a secret. Uh-oh. Just you and me. Okay. The names of all of these movies are two words each, and both words begin with the same letter. Oh, okay. Literative. No ifs, ands, or buts, no those, no us, two words each, both words, same letter.

It's Brad Pitt or Lasers. Come on down. The quiz where I will give you a pair of wildly unrelated things. things, people, inventions, monuments, and you tell me which came first.

They will often be very close together in years or months. And if it's a person, I'm asking when were they born. If it's a monument, I'm asking when did it open. You guys will get the gist as we go along. So you all have a pad, a paper, and a pen. Oh, just so everybody knows. Laser is older than Bradford. Yes.

In 1961, Sound of Music, the movie, 1965. Wow, I totally guessed wrong. I thought it was like in the 40s. They had a lot of like two-piece kits before that where there was like a disposable liner. But Pampers was whole thing.

Disposable. Yeah, one thing. All right, which came first? Ernest Hemingway or Vaseline. Aw. Maybe those things are related to each other. The brand Vaseline? The brand Vaseline.

Wow. Which came first? That's good.

Hugh Jackman or Wolverine? Still time to make up some ground, Karen and Chris. Still time. Answers up. Karen says Hugh Jackman. Chris says Hugh Jackman. Dana says Hugh Jackman. Yes, Hugh Jackman came first.

Hugh Jackman born 1968. Wolverine debuted in 1974 Wow Still didn't gain ground That's true All right We'll stick with a comic

Christopher Nolan Batman movies Answers up Karen says Morgan Freeman Chris says Batman Dana says Morgan Freeman says Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman is first. Yes. Morgan Freeman born 1937. Batman debuted in Detective Comics 1939. Wow, two years. Close. All right. Last one.

And I will tell you this is the closest out of all of these. Which came... Double points? Which... Sure. Sure. Why not? Double points.

Wow. Why not? I'm feeling generous. I mean, that gives Karen a chance to come back because Dana has six. Karen has four. It gives Karen a chance to send it to the tie. I have three. Yeah, exactly.

Right, Karen could still pull the second. Which came first, the original Nintendo Game Boy, or the first episode of Seinfeld. Man, Colin. These are close. These are close. So close, it might even be a 50-50. So just go with your gut. Game Boy or Seinfeld.

On my toes. On my toes. up. Karen says Game Boy. Chris says Seinfeld. Dana says Seinfeld. Karen got it. Nintendo Game Boy released in Japan. April 21st, 1989. First episode of Seinfeld, July 5th, 1989. I figured it was a, because you didn't say in the U.S. So I was like, maybe it's a Japanese launch. And it would be. Okay. All right. I like that. All right. So Karen, with the double points there, we now have a tie of six points at the end. So we're going to the tiebreaker, guys.

We can't just leave it there? No, this is, you know, we must, there must be only one. Brad Pitt or lasers, it's very nature demands that one. There can be only one. So whoever wins is lasers and who loses his Brad Pitt? Yeah, I can live with that. Yeah. Pins of how you want to look at it.

Yeah, if Brad Pitt is your gauge of a loser, yeah, you're doing all right. So I need you to write down the year and get closest to will be the winner. All right. So we've talked on the show many times about cheese whiz, please tell me. What year did Cheez-Wiz debut? Hold on, Dana did a segment on it. I don't remember.

I'm Brad Pitt. I am laser. Karen. Good job being lasers. I feel like there was cheating making the last round double points. I technically had more correct. Yeah, it did. Yes.
