And I'm Chris. Do you want to introduce our special guest? Yes, I'm holding my baby currently. Yeah. He's chilled out right now because he is, because he has his head on my shoulder. Oh. Maybe he'll stay this way or maybe we'll have a special fifth member for the podcast. Maybe he'll chime in with some tips.

That'd be great. Maybe he'll poop on the air. That would be a first. That would be a first. This is a live recording. Oh, my God. After all this time, someone finally poofs them up during a good job. And it admits it.

It is the noise that your stomach makes when it's rumbling or when there's gas in your intestine. So maybe we'll hear some Borberigmus today. I love that word. My grandpa, who was a doctor, told me that word. And it took me a long time to be able to say it. I'd never heard it. Yeah, for a good grandpa word.

It is a great grandpa word. Yeah. So for more weird words, more grandpa words. You could check out at words are so weird on Twitter. I tweet a weird grandpa word every day. And it comes with a cool public domain picture that may or may not be animated. I like the pictures. All that for free.

As frequently noted, I like the pictures. I like free things. Yeah, everybody wins. All right, time for our general trivia segment. Pop quiz, hot shot. And usually I have a random trivia pursuit card, but we're still in the process of finding a new box. That is not...

Hard at work, mining new trivia. Yeah, but that is not the version we've been using because then it would be a repeat. Oh, right, yeah. So it's like, well, but then do I get the original version, which I have outdated? Yeah, the expansion pack. Yeah, so we're experimenting with some of that.

But meanwhile, we have Chris's foodie fight trivia card, kind of like trivial pursuit, and they're kind of like inside food knowledge. And here we go. All right. And you guys have your Morning Zoo Radio buzzers. Let's start in the Foodie Sphere category, what dietary laws categorize food into halal and haram? Oh. What type?

Kosher? No. No. It's Muslim. Yeah. Oh, is that what it is? It's Muslim. Venus, right.

Muslim dietary laws. Okay. I thought there might be a name. It was a special name. Yeah, those are strangely worded question. Yeah, these aren't really written very well, but that's all we have. Ouch. Well, you didn't write them.

No. Because they live in his house. Yeah. So, halal refers to permitted foods. Foods are allowed. And Haram is. prohibited food. I've always heard halal, but never heard of Haram.

When you're eating at a Chinese restaurant, most likely you're at a big round table and there's like the food on the leasy suit. using. And what you do is if that dish does not already have a set of big chopsticks for you to put it onto your plate or onto your bowl and then you use your own chopsticks, you have to use the ends you're not using. That's not touching your mouth. Turn around and take the food off. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah. It's very classy. Unless you really like the other people. I always felt weird putting my chops. I was like, this came from my mouth. It's like putting my fork back in. Exactly. Yeah. Exactly what's used for. Awesome. Good job, Chris. Right. Next category, lab and field.

Wait, so do people think they take a bite and put it back on a plate? Yeah. I guess. Well, you know what? I mean, I could see that. I could see you get like a sushi roll and it's just for you in front of you. So you pick it up, you eat a little bit of it and you put it back down. And then you pick it up and you eat it again.

Oh, not like I'm only going to eat half of the sushi. Oh, someone else. Like I can see people doing that. But no, you never put it back. Yeah. Right? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It is like you eat a half. You're like, oh, I want to eat half. You take a bite out and you put it back. I've seen sushi rookies, like, eating parts of it because it looks like it's going to be big, like too much for your mouth.

Right, right, right. But you're supposed to go for it. And it's supposed to be made so that you can eat it all in one go. Yeah. That's the whole idea. They're all fun size. Yeah, they're fun size. But sometimes they're not.

All right. Last question from the category. What's cooking? What is schmaltz? Ew. Schmaltz. It's got to be something. It's got to be something from Yiddish.

I want you to write down for me what country this cheese comes from, where, more specifically,

what country does this cheese take its name from? Got it. Maybe a city, maybe a region. I think you'll figure out as we go.

of Germany, parts of Netherlands, but the capital itself, Limburg, was in modern day Belgium. Yes. The stinky cheese. Although I did read that most of the Limburger, Limburg-style cheese today does come from Germany, but it is not named after that. All right. Last one. Last one, as we're

traipsing the world, taking cheeses in, where we find them. Tell me, hey, where did you get that Manchega Where did you get that Munchego cheese? And for a bonus point, what type of animal is the milk from? Sure. Got it. Answers up.

Dana says Spain and sheep. Chris says Spain and sheep. Karen says Spain and sheep. That is correct. It is from Spain. It is a sheep's milk. This one is kind of a two-step regional name. you guys guess what the connection between

Manchego and Don Quixote is? La Mancha. Yes. Manchego cheese comes from Manchega sheep, which are so named because they are native to the La Mancha region of Spain. And the real aficionados will

say the reason that it has the taste it does is from the grass that only grows in La Mancha. And that's why... Well, that's entirely possible. Yeah. It's entirely possible. Yes. So... You have grass-fed beef versus corn-fed beef, you can taste the difference.

All right. What's better? It depends on your taste. It really does. It does. I mean, grass-fed beef is probably better for you. But they're noticeable. Yeah.

It has a really strong flavor to it. Got it. I like this. This is fun. I think Karen might have taken that one. Oh, I think Karen is the true cheese whiz. Yes. You are, you, verily,

Now I'm some cheese. Bulboguris. What was the word? Borboregmus. Borboregmus. Tough word. Borborrigmus. Yeah.

Sound in my, rumbling sounds in my. stomach. So here for my segment, my segment is a sponsor quiz and Warby Parker sells glasses. So I have more, so I have more questions here about eyes and vision to test your IQ. Oh. Your eye. Your eye. Your eye. Letter eye. Yeah. But also pointing your eye doesn't help the listeners, Karen. Yeah. Exactly. Sometimes I forget. Wink. This is all audio. This is pretty short, but pretty cool facts. Thanks to Warby Parker. All right. And. please get your buzzers ready. Okay. How many eyes does a worm have? Oh.

Colin. None. Correct. Yeah. It is none. Worms do not have eyes. More animal stuff. Which animal is born with fur and with its eyes open?

Yeah. Multiple choice. Oh, okay. All right. Elephant, giant squid, or rhinoceros. Chris. Elephant. Correct.

Because they spend so long cooking in there But the time they come out, their eyes are open They're ready to rock and roll They're ready to rock and roll. Hit the ground running. Cooking in there. Yeah. So as we know, Dana mentioned this, that elephant,

their pregnancy is the longest. And so when the baby elephant is born, they're very, very developed. As an undergraduate degree. Yeah. True or false. Okay. Do blind people dream?

What? What? Of course they do. Yes? True, true. Yeah, okay. And it's very interesting because people who are born blind, they dream, but most of the time it's audible dream. Sure, yeah.

It's because there's no vision. They have no frame of reference. They're recounting and remixing things that have happened to them. Using other senses. Right, right, right. And then, so there is a cutoff age. So people, if they did once have vision, then they will have vision in their dream. Sure.

And there is a cutoff age at, like, five years old to seven years old, where if it's before, then they probably will not dream in images. Interesting. But it's after, and then they turn it. It's cemented kind of just you have that ability. Yeah, exactly. It's kept in their brain. That's interesting. And last question in this Warby Parker quiz.

The modern contact lenses were born in which decade? Oh. Colin. 1920s. Incorrect. 1950s. Incorrect. Really?

60s. What is it? What is it? What is it? 1949, actually. So the thing is with Conn Eglins is the idea, the core idea of it have been written about since Leonardo da Vinci's time. Actually, he himself has described the idea. Of course.

Descartes, René Descartes, a bunch of other people. And there was Adolf Casas. on Eugene Fick was the first who constructed the first pairs of contact lenses from glass. And then, in 1936, William Fine Bloom introduced the first plastic lenses. But what we have right now, the modern contact lenses were born in 1949. Okay. Which is weird because I... The guts you've got to have to take a piece of glass.

And stop it in your eye. I think this will work. There are still hard lenses. Yeah. Yeah. Still glass. I used to have hard lenses. And, you know, if you press a little bit too hard on the table, it shatters.

Right, right. And there are pictures of the original pair of glass contact lenses. They're huge. And they engraved L and R on the lens. And it's not perfectly round. It's kind of scary. But very cool. These are pioneers.

Someone's got to be the first. Someone's got to be the first. Someone's the early adopter. So there you go. That is my eye quiz. We see what you did there. Oh, it's a cornecopia of questions. Oh, I likes it.

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?
