You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, beautiful, buzzing and bouncing, buxom Brainiacs and pros. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 137, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your thankful thicket of heartthrob thinkers who are thrilled by throwbacks and throw-ups. I'm Colin. I'm Dana. And I'm Chris.

I can't believe you included throw-ups in there. Well, you guys threw it in there. We didn't throw that up. And you pretty much make us sign on to whatever you introduce us. Yeah, we can't deny at that point. I'm not, Colin. I'm enthralled by throw-offs. And let's jump into our first general trivia segment.

Pop Quiz, Hot Shot. And this is a special edition. because it's a listener submitted one. I'm going to start off with reading an email from Mike Leo who emailed us and he says, Dear Casey D.C., which I thought was pretty cool. It is Casey D.C. Here in Montana, we ski a lot, which means we spend a lot of time on ski lifts. This season, I'm taking a small matrix of Brad Pitt or laser questions skiing with me.

I'm going to quiz the person with whom I am writing a chairlift. and keep track with a golf pencil. I like it. They don't push them off the ski legs. You win. Excuse me. Stop quiz. Everybody likes to have their confidence shaking before they ski down.

They have to get off the trailer. And then they fill out of disoriented. Like, God, I'm so stupid. Cause of death, 300 stab wounds with a golf pencil. So Mike says that he actually, he's going to give a process. is the prize, the prize being a cold beer at the lodge for the highest score. Awesome. So, big sky fun.

I like everything about this. Yeah. Isn't that cool? It's like, you know, something to do on ski lift. And so here I have some of his questions here. And I'm going to quiz you guys, Brad Pitt or Laser style where you have to tell me which came first out of a pair of things. Okay. All right.

Well, you know, instead of pad paper, we'll just share our answers. All right. Communal answers. Here we go. Victory over Europe, known as. as V.E. Day or victory over Japan known as VJ Day. I believe that VJ Day was second. Okay.

Which came first? V.E. Day. Yeah, I'll say VE Day. I think it's the other way around. Oh, really? I mean, they're close. I mean, that's the whole part of this game, isn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I think VJ Day. They're within a year. Yeah, okay. What was it? It is VE Day, victory over Europe. Yeah. May 8th, or sometimes a day off for Commonwealth countries, 1945, and then VJ day is September 2nd, 1945. So, E before J.

Like alphabetically. Just like an hour alphabet. I hope I'm not giving away the answers, like, for the ski lift. What are the tests they listen? Very slim. Very slim. All right. Which came first?

If it turns out that the person he is riding the ski lift with also listens to good job brain and you heard it. Exactly. They're going to have a fun time. Get your beer. They should have a beer. You really should have a beer with that person. Because you've got two things in common.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's an accidental meetup. Yeah. It is several feet up in the air. All right. Which came first? Scooby-Doo or the Flintstones?

Oh. Oh, wait. We're not even doing that, are we? We're not going in. The Flintstones definitely came first. The Flintstones were like black and white at first, I think. Yeah, that was a good to me, I guess. Flintstones?

I think it, I mean, again, they're all close. I think it is the Flintstones. I do think the Flintstones stand first. It is the Flintstone. September 30th, 1960. Scooby-Doo came out September 13th, 1969. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense. In Mike here says, P.S., the Flintstones was the most financially successful animated series until The Simpsons.

Oh, sure, yeah. All right, here we go. Which came first? Westside Story, the film. Okay. Or The Sound of Music, the film, because both musicals were shows first, or maybe books. Romeo and Julia, I guess. I believe West Side Story is earlier.

Yeah, I'll agree with that. I think it was earlier, I think it was, I think West Side Story was earlier. I think it was like 61 and 64 or something like that. Oh, my God. Whoa, is that right? West Side Story, 1961. Yeah. And then Sound of Music, 1965.

Okay, pretty close. Yeah. Pretty good. for it always one year old. Academy Awards. Yep. I want to know them. All right.

Last one. Hamburger or hot dog. Oh. Noted this one in particular is a little bit hard to fact check because there's so many claims. Sure, sure, sure. I'm going for. We mean the hamburger as in the classic hamburger sandwich and the hot dog as in the buck. So not like Frankfurter.

Not a Frankfurter sausage, but like a hot dog as in like. Hot dog. Hot dog in a bun. Yeah, got it. Hamburger in a bun. Okay. Okay. Interesting.

What do you think, Chris? That's tough. I want to say hamburger before hot dog. I'll say hot dog. I feel like the hot dog. Man, yeah, I'll go hot dog. I'll say hot dog. I feel like it was closer to a sausage.

In 1870 on Coney Island, German immigrant Charles Feldman began selling sausages in rolls. Oh, okay. We don't know if a. That's called a hot dog, you know, or where the name came from. It was also, like, there are some claims in the Midwest that they started calling them hot dogs, but around 1870, Coney Island, 1896 is when the earliest known report in a newspaper mentioned the hamburger sandwich. That's a good period of time. So hot dog first, then hamburger. Here's a funny story.

In 1916, a Polish-American name, Nathan Handworker, was encouraged. courage to go into business in competition with his former employer, and they would charge a lot less for a hot dog. Around that time, though, especially, you know, in 1916, food regulation is a little bit spotty. Yeah. So hot dog was kind of suspect in a lot of places. Yep.

Unlike today. Yeah. Nathan Handworker actually made sure that men wearing surgeon smocks were seen at Nathan. Vince famous hot dog stand to reassure potential customers. Oh, it's smart. It is smart. I guess so, but I feel kind of weirded out if someone's wearing like a... Yeah.

I mean, it's still just, you know, full of but holes and eyeballs, but the guy is smock on. Yeah. Marketing. Oh, buttholes and eyeballs in a bunch. It's made by professionals. It's not just like some kids messing around with rats and... Right. You know, yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. It's like, oh. A hot dog really has a bad rep. All right. Well, good job. And thank you. for writing this lovely, lovely, awesome email and good luck to ski season and your little

crazy dreams. Yeah, and your crazy dreams and your little pop quiz segments on the ski lifts. Awesome. Thank you. And good job, Brains. I went skiing one time. I don't have good balance. And that's when I learned that I don't really, I can't really go down a mountain very well.

So I basically got up to the top of the bunny slopes. I was like 10. I got up to the top of the bunny slopes, walked down, went to the lodge. and I played punch out on the arcade machine arcade machine punch out that's so Chris Carler that's the kind of athlete you are

story oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you're a video boxer that's right exactly yeah yep I'm the video circuit champ yeah so I've never really seen snow um and wait really still like at all I've seen snow probably I think maybe twice in my life we need to go on a trip so I mean like I grew up in a tropical area so it's kind of like you know it seems really exotic You don't go out of your way

I have a reverse Chris story where I played so much of this game called SSX And a SSX Snowboarding game And I was so freakishly good at it That somehow inflated my ego I thought to myself

I can do this in real life Yeah That's how video games work That happens all the time And so I went up to I went up to Whistler in Vancouver And was like You know what?

This is going to be a piece of cake. I got this. Oh, my God. I'd even go, I've never snowed before, never really seen snow, never know how to outfit myself for snow. Like, all of my clothes weren't waterproof. Oh, no. And then I'd even go on the bunny slopes. I was just like, here I go. I'm very good at snowing. Yeah, it took me like, I had like cried in the middle of it. Like, I just like sat in the snow and I cried. And because you can't, you have to go down. Yeah. One way or the other. One way or the other, you got to get down. I can't go

back up. I can't, yeah. Did you just do it once? I did it another time, but I had stuck with the bunny slopes that time. Okay. And then you made it down the bunny slope? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. But no nose grabs or doing the worm on the snowboard like in Mrs. X. It's like you have to train your body to do that.

I didn't even know your feet were attached to the board. Yeah, exactly. I was like, how does that guy in the game does the worm on the board? Anyway, so we're recording this right after Thanksgiving break. We definitely spent time with our families, and we, thought that maybe it's a good time to have a family-centric episode talking about family trivia and all that stuff. But first, we want to go around and kind of share our thoughts and maybe give thanks to our families. Well, my parents and my brother and his wife were, they all came

here for Thanksgiving. That was a new thing. For your new baby. For the new baby. So they finally got to see the new baby and hang out with them. And of course, remind me of all the things, because my parents pretty much, they're so happy that I have a son because they just want him to do to me all of the things that I did to them as a son and Freuda. Right, right. Not so much that I learn anything.

No. Just to see you. Hey back. Yeah. The story that they kept, they keep, they will never let me forget this story. When I was very young, I loved my dad's keys. You know, it's like they were all different colors. Yeah, it is. It's fascinating. It's fascinating. But like they all did something. I understood what the function was. It seems so grown up to have a key ring because it means you had to use the keys to do certain things, lock things.

Power. Yeah. Keys were power, man. I would ask my dad, you know, can I play with your keys, you know? And so, of course, one day I lose the keys in our giant backyard, which was really, we lived like near farms. So the backyard, I mean, the expansive, it just goes on forever. So, I mean, we looked for them and couldn't find them.

And, well, I mean, it's not so bad because, like, you know, there's copies. You just had to make copies of all the keys again. And they never let me forget, like, oh, you love the keys. So we're driving, we wanted to Napa. We were driving around. The baby is in the back seat with my parents, and he's getting a little tiny bit fussy a little bit. So at one point, we're just, like, idling out of light, and I hear him crying a little bit, and I hear just, like, jingle jangle in the back seat.

My dad's got his keys, then he's jingling them in front of the baby. He's instilling in my eyes on the love of keys as part of an elaborate. revenge plot now you know why you like keys that's why you know in my family we don't really celebrate Thanksgiving you know we just didn't really grow up with it

it's an American Harvest Festival yeah exactly yeah it's very specific yeah yeah it's hard to import that one to Taiwan yeah but I am thankful for my mom I think me God I was so young I was like maybe five years old it my mom got

one of those. It's kind of like a speak and spell machine, but instead it's like it shows up math equations, like three times three equals what. And you press in and then it tells you your score. And my mom completely fooled me thinking that this was a game.

Like a valid video game. It was pretty much like kind of a glorified calculator, but she's like, this is a video game. And I was like, oh. I like video games. I want to win. She goes, well, if you're going to win, you got to answer all these questions right. I was five.

I didn't even, I had to, like, ask her how division and multiplication, what it meant because I was like, I can't get through this level, you know? And it's like not a level. It's just like a series of division. And so that was kind of the turning point that, like, I thought math was fun and loved taking tests and became a nerd because I thought it was all a game. I got tricked into being educated. I know.

I know. Totally. It was like those boss levels really hard. That's what part of being a good parent is, is, yeah. My dad talking about carrying the one in terms of, like, subtraction. And, you know, like, you're subtracting something. And, oh, if it's like 13, you're like, you know, if it's like 100 minus 50, you know, you can carry the number over and make the number and then do the subtraction.

So I get to, like, kindergarten, you know, and they're giving us, like, 13 minus 9. And I'm like, oh, okay, well, my dad told me to do this. So I, like, cross out the one, and then I write a little one next to the 3, which then gives me 13 minus 9, which I then solve. you're like I don't have got to do it in the right order though yeah it works cross off the one right of one yep I spent some good time with my dad over Thanksgiving helping him troubleshoot how do I listen to good job brain right which obviously it's so difficult my dad God bless him is a very successful very intelligent man but we we've been

unable to get him to have the idea of the ox in on his car I mean he has a you know smartphone. Like an auxiliary. And he understands the podcast. Like he gets it. He's a very technologically savvy man. Yep. It'll do it automatically for you. I was burning CDs of the show. You know. I'm embarrassed it. Yeah. They burn CDs. Yes. To play it in the car. How many files can you put it? I mean like one episode is like 50 minutes. Well so so like best case scenario you have like MP3 CD that's what they have. So that's what I tried. Right. So the problem is if your dad's car has a CD player that is one of the random few ones

that doesn't play MP3 CDs. So I was sending them as MP3 CDs. They weren't working, so we finally got together in the car, busted out the manual. We were just sitting there, and we finally figured out there's a hidden auxiliary input, like in the center console. Oh, yes.

It took us close to an hour, but the end of the hour, my dad can now listen to Good Job Brain through his auxiliary input. Without you burning CDs. Without having to burn CDs. Yes. But in the bigger picture, I am very thankful for both my parents are huge trivia nerds. I know that is where I got my love of random facts, random words, just. I think that's part of the duty of our generation is to be the technology troubleshooters.

Oh, yes. No doubt. No doubt. So that's kind of our job. Oh, our sponsor, Squarespace. I taught my dad how to use Squarespace. He has a blog. He does community blogging.

And I used our code so I can sign them up for square space. I got them all set up. Speaking of moms who are like crafty with the game design stuff, my mom loves Thanksgiving because every year she gets to design like a whole experience around Thanksgiving. So this year it was letter P. Like you had to bring things. Really? It's conceptual.

Yeah, it's conceptual. She, I mean, for salad, we have persimmon salad and then pumpkin soup. That's so fun. Pesto, turkey. wine with pino grigio I brought a game I brought Plans versus Zombies Risk Every year, every year she has her thing

What are some other previous themes? She did barbecue She barbecued everything one year Like it was like a barbecue pineapple Yeah every year she like does a bunch of research And then she sends me a text And she's like, okay, this year is And whatever it is

How much advance notice do you get? Like several weeks Okay, all right, all right This is her thing This is her time to shine. I remember she used to do scavenger hunt sometimes where she'd like make a little map and burn the edges. That's really cool.

She's elaborate. She's very cute. I think now we've given more context about like how we were raised or the people who raised us. It's kind of like no brainer that we'd be sitting here like and hosting a trivia show. And with that said, thanks to all of our families. And this week we're going to talk about trivia about. families and fun Because we were

raped To see life as fun So as I'm sure As the case of all of you Growing up my real family was You know The family's on the TV obviously that's where all the major problems in life would get worked out half an hour at a time

The Haley's family And then Jason Bateman's in that Right And then Jason Bateman's sister Is in family ties Indeed yes That's right That is weird

Ah, yes, family life We all had siblings, I believe I think we all had one sibling I'm the only one who had a sibling of the opposite sex, right? Like, Chris, you had a brother That's right And Karen and Dana, you guys each had a sister So let me ask you, growing up with siblings at the same sex

Did you guys share a room? Yeah. Okay, how was that? Like, how was sharing a room? Like, it's, on the one hand, you get to bond But on the other hand, you're in each other's face. In each other's face. Yeah.

It was nice when we didn't have the same room. My sister and I are, like, almost four years apart, so it's, like, developmentally different for most of your time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stressful times. Stressful times. And then we got, I became a teenager. I got to have my own room. That was awesome.

For better or worse, yeah, as part of family life is sometimes being in each other's face. You know, I find it really interesting how much our ideas of privacy, you know, like modern ideas of privacy are so different than privacy was 100, 500 years ago, like, especially in the context of a family, in the olden days you know how old you know like all the way up through the middle ages all the way up through the end of the medieval period and even for a long time after you just you had less privacy in your daily life there's less personal space your houses are smaller there's more openness it seems obvious now but you know part of the reason that you had a lot less privacy was for a huge huge huge chunk of human history your family was all in one big room it was just one big open room you didn't the concept of like separate rooms certainly separate bedrooms for every member of the

house is a really really really modern idea yeah i mean you would sleep with your parents right yeah you were everybody was up in everybody's business the the hall style house is kind of like for hundreds of years the most common type of house you know hall itself as bill bryson pointed out in his great book at home hall uh was an old word by the year 400 and so your your hall was one big room, high ceiling, and most importantly, like an open fireplace, an open hearth fireplace. And that's why you were all in one big room is the only way to stay warm. You know, you start building rooms, you're losing heat and you're all up in each other's face. You know, yeah, you might, you might have a small storage area, you know, maybe if you were a little bit

better off, you might have a separate kitchen area. But for the most part, even, you know, a middle class household, you know, would everyone's all together. You know, mom and dad would be lucky enough to have their own bed, you might share a bed with a sibling, you might share a bed with a cousin, and everybody is right there together. And no one smells good. I mean... Yeah, that's true. Yeah, because

I'm plumbing. Not yet invented old spice. Yeah, I mean, as a kid, it's hard to keep secrets, you know? Like, your mom and dad are right there. As an adult, if in the marriage bed there, you know, I mean, let's just say kids learned about sex a lot earlier than they might learn today.

Oh, my God, that's so awkward. it's a little awkward but it's that's what you had you know everyone's living together you know you're sharing you know you're putting away your bed in the morning a lot of times you know we talked about before about like making your bed you would set it out each night you're all in one big room you're all in this one big hall well that's i mean you know that's how it kind of went in a lot of like traditional japanese houses even today you know what i mean like the room that you're sleeping in is the room that you're entertaining in sometimes and you put the futons away and you repurpose the room yeah you guys have heard of the privy you know if i if i if i where the privy is, you know, I'm asking, I'm asking basically, where's the toilet? Oh, okay, okay. And, you know, the privy. And we'd all sort of look at you sideways. You'd like, you mean the bathroom, Colin?

Did you come here from 1600? Where is the water closet? The WS.C. Yeah, it's like the paedias, I may read. It's like the paedias, nice. You know, the privy, over the years, it could have been to number of different rooms or words. It did eventually sort of settle on, like, the lavatory.

So even there, in there, you might think that that might be the one reliable bastion of privacy in a house, but it was common even well through the medieval years. You'd have multiple seats in the toilets. You'd open the door, you know, there might be two or three seats. Yeah, sure. You know, to encourage conversation. Right, right, right. Yep. The idea of having just a lone time or a lone space inside a building is a luxury that really didn't come along until really relatively recently, even in your own home, even in your own house, with your own family.

I found a lot of other interesting anecdotes, like sort of the idea of like shared sleeping space for a long time extended, even out into semi-public life. So if you were at like an inn, say you're like a traveler on the road, at inns and lodgings, shared beds were a routine custom

as late as the 1800s, meaning you check into an inn, you're like, you got room for the night? Yeah, you got a room. You go in and you're sharing a bed with somebody. Or you might check in earlier and later on in the night, someone checks in after you and oh hey i guess i'm sharing your bed no bro isn't that where the

bedfellows the strange bedfellows saying comes from yeah you were sharing your bed that's right with other fellows strange bedfellows i will close out with an awesome anecdote i found while reading about shared bedfellows uh in 1776 while traveling through new jersey Benjamin franklin and john adams stopped for the night i know this sounds like a bad joke It sounds like, yeah, dear penthouse. They stopped in an inn in New Brunswick, and unfortunately, hilariously, had to share a bed for the night. So I just imagine Franklin and Adams, I imagine them like fully dressed, of course, crowded into this bed. And if the anecdot are wigs.

Yeah, with the wigs and everything, like his spectacles. If the anecdote is to be believed, they spent the night fighting over whether or not to keep the window open. I believe that. I feel like they're very particular men. They had to draft legislation between them. Wow. Awkward. Awkward.

So cherish your private space. Cherish your lone time. Oh, yeah. And if you share a room with your sibling, be kind. Could be worse. It could be worse. It could be a lot worse. It could be a stranger.

You can have eight of your relatives all piled into three beds. Yeah, that's true. All right, let's take a quick break in a word from our sponsor. Throughout history, Royals across the world, were notorious 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. Did archaeologists discover Noah's Ark? Is the rapture coming as soon as the Euphrates river dries up? Does the Bible condemn abortion?

Don't you wish you had a trustworthy academic resource to help make sense of all of this? Well, I'm Dan Beecher, and he's award-winning Bible scholar and TikTok sensation, Dr. Dan McClellan, and we want to invite you to the Data Over Dogma podcast, where our mission is to increase public access to the academic study of the Bible and religion, and also to combat the spread of misinformation about the same. But, you know, in a fun way. Every week we tackle fascinating topics. We go back to source materials in their original languages. And we interview top scholars in the field. So whether you're a devout believer, or you're just interested in a clear-eyed, deeply informed look at one of the most influential

books of all time. We think you're going to love the data over dogma podcast. Wherever you subscribe to awesome shows. And we're back. You're listening to Good Job Brain. And this week we're talking about trivia about families. Not only are we celebrating human families. I want to celebrate animal family. And in this quiz, very similar to the format of Chris's previous quiz, in the animal kingdom,

the male, the female, and the child, the baby, all have very specific names sometimes. times right so for example and we've talked about this one animal before a swan like a swan animal the male is called a cob the female the mommy is called the pen and then the baby is a signet so what i'm going to do is i'm going to say in order the male specific name the female specific name and the baby specific name and you tell me guess what animal this is Disclaimer, a lot of animals have very similar names.
