But then anything that was a flash in the pan or that was like briefly popular in the 60s but went away. It's like it's asking like these little bitsy pieces of knowledge about it. Which at that time would be known. Yeah.

his high school's mascot was the thunder hawk this is incorrect the mascot for north branford High School is the thunder bird. The story goes that a popular teacher owned a purple and white fort's thunderbird and eventually the mythical bird became the school's mascot. Purple and white

are the school's colors. Now that's interesting because I had never heard that story. Sincerely, Pat Bear, North Marford High School, class of 99. Oh, la-di-da. That I never actually heard that story before, but yes, I misremembered speaking extemporaneously said Thunder Hawk. It was in fact that

Thunderbird. Not cool enough to be regular hawks. We're just regular Thunderbirds. I love the level of specificity for the um-actuallys here for our own personal anecdotes about our own lives are subject to correction. Also disclaimer, Pat is Chris's high school friend. Also true. Also true.

Yes. And before we continue, Karen, I have an um-actually for you. Um-actually, I recorded something for the mascot episode that you forgot to put in. It has come down to this. Off the rails. Off the rails now. I'm telling you, last episode, just so much feedback. All right, we're going to drop in this episode.

All right, let's do it. It has nothing to do with anything. It's the all-quit show. Nothing has anything to do with anything. Chris made us a special... Here it is. Special thing. I mean, like,

Like, I don't think he did it and stuff. Oh, I don't think he could help himself, you know. Well, he said that when he found them, they were just floating there, bobbing up and down on the surface of a bowl of milk. You have a prepaid call from... The cookie crook. An inmate at General Mills Penitentiary. I swear I didn't take him.

I think it was that dog. From Good Job Brain Studios in San Francisco, this is a story told week after week, after week, about whole grains, dairy, and a bowl full of inconsistencies part of this complete breakfast of journalism. This is cereal. Okay, so... Now that that's out of the way. Let us kick off the All Quiz Bonanza proper here. I have a quiz for you guys. This is a second installment of a quiz I've done one time before.

I called it who, what, or where, but I think really I should have called it person, place, or thing. Because that's really what this quiz is about. So this is the spiritual successor. I will give you guys a... I think this is the actual successor. Yes. Yeah, right. I will give you guys a person, place, or thing that has a famous name or perhaps

You may not realize is named after something. You tell me, is it named after a person, named after a place, or named after a thing? And then for a bonus point, if you know the exact answer, you can go ahead and give me that as well. So, for example, if I said Ferris wheel, person, place, or thing, you would say person. Ferris Bueller. Right. Yes, you would say, is a person the Ferris wheel named after George Ferris, Jr. The inventor. Yes. If I said champagne, person, place or thing, place. Place. And then for the bonus point, you could say the champagne region of France.

Oh, we get bonus points. Yeah. Yeah. I'm all about extra bonuses wherever possible. Okay. There are at least one person, at least one place, at least one thing. I will tell you that. I will tell you that. Okay. And I have given you guys each a pad of paper. I will allow you each to write down your own answers. Feel free to be funny if you like. Here we go. The cardigan sweater. Style of sweater. Buttons in the front. Is the cardigan named after a person, a place, or a thing? All right, answers up. Chris says place. Karen says place in Wales.

I like that you're going for the extra guess. Oh. No, the cardigan is named after a person. Okay. Darn. It does sound like a place, though. Like Cardiff. Yeah, yeah.

It is named after James Brudanel, the Earl of Cardigan. Of course, of course. Wait. Who one night was cold and requested a slice of meat between two sweaters. He was a, he was a major general in the British Army, the 19th century, and apparently the cardigans took their name from the style of garment that he and his officers wore, sort of wrapped around button in the front. Yes.

And there were bread in each pocket. Two slices of bread. I love I like how that joke Earl of anything Earl of anything Earl of anything One of one of when growing up

That's one of the trivia Stories Oh you always hear that You always hear it The Earl of Sandwich was hungry Well I think that's like our one of our running gags To a pub quiz you know It's like oh the Earl of Cheesesteak

Is where the cheese steak gets his name But yes The Earl of Cardigan Earl of Condom Quisted The Twitter Two slices of white bread. And when that didn't work.

A torpedo. Oh. A type of armaments you would find on submarines and other seafaring vessels. God, it's a weird word. What is a torpedo named after? Is it named after a person, a place, or a thing? Wow. A torpedo.

It's such a weird. I never thought of that. It's such a weird word. This is actually what inspired this quiz. I was chasing down the meaning of this word one night. Yes, all right. Answers up. Karen says thing.

Chris says thing. Yes, a torpedo is named after a genus of electric ray. Get out. There is called the torpedo. The illusion of the weapon is like something dangerous in the water that's going to sting you and stun you and mess up your day. Wow. Yes. and torpedo

It comes from a Latin word Are they really electric? They are not only electric But they can administer a nasty little charge I only thought eels were No Yeah They can just a really

You know It'll wake you up How does that happen? Yeah Yeah And I guess the The torpedo comes from the Latin word Torpere

Like numb or paralyzed So Always in like a torpor Yes Torper Wow Same root Same route.

Yes, the torpedo. Like the hummingbirds, when they sleep, they go into torpor. Yeah. Wow. Okay. All right. Learn something. The color magenta.

Oh. Magenta. Does magenta take its name from a person, a place, or a thing? And answers up. Karen says place. Chris says thing. Karen is correct. Yes. It is a place. This is an interesting story.

I feel like most weird colors are named after places because of dyes, maybe. Well, so you're sort of right and sort of wrong and all in one. So Chris, you had talked on an earlier episode about colors that don't technically exist in the visible spectrum, but they're kind of, you know, we perceive them like they're mixed in our brains. Right. Right. It's a mixture of like physiology. So magenta is one of those colors. and it was originally, Karen, you're right, it was created as a dye, it was an artificial dye, and it was named Fuchsin, originally. Like Fuchsia.

Like Fuchsia, that's right. It was invented by a French scientist named Francois Emmanuel Verguyen, and he invented it the same year as a major victory by Napoleon III in the Battle of Magenta, which is a town in Italy. and he decided like this is such a big deal for the French I'm going to name my color after magenta yes shrapnel little bits of metal that fly out from explosion or a hand grenade or something like shrapnel is shrapnel named after a person a place or a thing up. Chris says thing. Karen says person.

It is a person. Oh. Henry Shrapnel. Yo, my, I am not making this up. Henry Shrapnel. Henry Shrapnel. Henry Shrapnel was a British Army officer, aren't they all? Aren't they all British Army officers? Yeah. At least it's not the Earl of Shrapnel.

Right, right. Well, you know, he should have been. He was an officer in the Royal Art. Artillery Regiment, and in the late 1700s, he came up with a new design for a specialized artillery shell that would not just shoot bits of shrapnel like a big shotgun shell. They kind of had those shells already. The problem that they had was like range. They're like, these don't work very well unless the guys are kind of close. So he came up with kind of like a fuse timer. So you would launch the mortar as the shell is in the air and gets closer to your, you know, your adversaries.

Then it explodes. man and rains like like musket balls it was kind of like like balls were the original you know yeah yeah and that's I mean it's it's a good sign I guess that you're yeah yeah like guillotine or somebody right right yeah it's you know it's well we're this is so deadly we're gonna name it after you right right yes Henry shrapnel you may have used it sometime in your life for therapeutic purposes Epsom salts Epsom Epsom salts Epsom Epsom salts which are magnesium sulfate. I use a lot after runs. You can soak them. You can take them internally for a lot of uses as well. What? Really? Yeah, magnesium sulfate.

You can, yeah, are Epsom salts named after a person, a place, or a thing. All right, answers up. Chris says place. Karen says thing. It is a place. Is it, could it be Epsom, New Hampshire, or is it? No, it is.

Epsom is a town in Surrey, England. Oh, man. As, it was famous as far back as the 1600s, they were famous. There was a natural spring there that bubbled up mineral water, and what they would do is they would boil down the water and get the salts out of it, the magnesium sulfate, and used it for a variety of, you know, therapeutic purposes. Wow. Yeah, there were like health resorts and wellness, you know, centers there. I knew that there is a town in New Hampshire called EPSM, which probably carries its name over from. England, yeah.

It probably does, since it's in New England. Yeah, yeah. The newest England. The newest of the England's. Come check us out. There we go. Yeah. A bobby pin, a bobby pin, such as you might use to hold your hair back, is a bobby pin

named after a person, a place, or a thing. Hmm. Seems like it's a red herring because Bobby is a name of a person. I will say. say that the origin story that I had once heard as a kid turned out not to be true. Interesting. But I don't know if you heard the same one I did. Answers up.

You both say, thing, you are both correct. Yes. Now, OED, you know, sort of my ultimate source on these kind of things, they do say it is uncertain, but they believe it is most likely related to the Bob haircut. Oh, sure. A bobbed haircut for women. Right. that it came into use around the same time as when Bob haircuts were very popular,

a little bit after. They compare it to like the Bob and Bobby socks, like short socks, Bobby socks, Bobby Pinn. Yep, yep, yep. That is the most likely explanation. What was the thing that you heard when you were a kid that turned out to not be able to? I had heard that it was etymologically

to Bobby's, like British police officers, that it was like some part of their, you know, attire or their uniform. There are stories floating around that it is named after a very famous bobby hairdresser, you know, in Europe at the time. Sounds like something that an adult makes up when a kid asks a question. It does. It totally does. It totally does. All right.

Last one here. And this ended up being my favorite one here because this is another one. This is like an age-old mystery. How many points do you have? I didn't count. Oh. But I think I'm higher than you. Well, I mean.

So it is four to three. All right, Chris, you can tie it up here. You can't hide it. You could even take the lead if you know the exact answer to. Oh, okay. Yes, all right. You might file your nails with an Emery board, Emery Board. And until just a few days ago, I did not know this, but please tell me what is the Emery

in an Emery Board named after? Is it a person, a place, or a thing? All right. E-M-E-R-Y, Emery Board, answers up. Karen says place. Chris says person, and then he even specified Ralph Waldo Emerson. I like that you're swinging for the fences there. I like that.

I like that. It is, in fact, a thing. Oh, I cross it out, too. Emery, this, Emery is a type of rock, okay? ground up. So it is a board coated with Emery. So here's where it's

interesting, at least for me. So Emery is a rocket. It's mainly curundum. Okay? And corundum is aluminum oxide, basically. It's like a mineral in crystal form. You may be familiar with curundum in a couple of its other forms.

Kitty litter? No, no. Maybe sort of the other direction. Corundum, if it is nice and clear and has trace amounts of iron in it, will turn blue. and we call it a sapphire Oh

Corundum if it is nice and clear Oh that's what this is And has bits of chromium in it It is red and is a ruby Ruby So Emery is like sapphire and rubies Tiny rubies Yeah a little sort of

It's like their blue collar cousin Is how I like to think of the Emery and the Emery board now Yeah So Emery is extremely hard They crush it up It does have other other materials in it It's mostly it's mostly

Corundum Yes they crush it up Put it on the board. You file down your nails. All right. So, Karen, narrow victory there, four to three. All right. So I don't know if you guys saw, but Big Hero 6, the fantastic new Disney movie just came out on DVD Blu-ray.

It won an Oscar. What an Oscar. Won the Oscar for Best Animated Film. So anyway, I was thinking about Disney. And I was like, oh, I'll do a Disney quiz for all quiz. And then I was like, wait a gosh darn minute. I know Dana's not going to be there. And that means it's going to be just Karen answers all the questions.

I'm just going to get demolished. It's just like, I'll just leave. So then I realized, okay, this is what I'm going to do. I've crafted a sports quiz that Colin can definitely get all the answers to. And I've crafted a Disney quiz that Karen can definitely get all the answers to. But I'm going to give you the sports quiz and I'm going to give Colin the Disney quiz. I love it. And we're going to see how you guys do with this.

I love it. All right. All right. So let's see how Colin will be sitting there sort of biting his lifting his life during the entire time. I know this. I know this. But we're going to see. Um, this is, again, these are, these are very, um, generally easy questions for somebody who knows their stuff about this, which means it's going to be a challenge for somebody who totally doesn't.

Okay. So we'll begin with Karen. Okay. And I'll give you a round of sport. Five questions. Five questions for each of you. All right. Here we go.

All right. Question one. Oh, you know what? I want us, I want Colin to say if he knows it. Oh, yeah. Yeah. If you don't, if you, if you don't get it, Colin, you can chime in with the answer. Now, quiz Karen in the realm of sporting.

This NBA legend played his entire career for the Boston Celtics and was named MVP for the years 1984, 1985, and 1986. Karen. Oh, yes, just me. I think she's going to get this. Who is Larry Bird? Absolutely. Who is Larry Bird? Yes.

All right. I only know that because my dad used to have a t-shirt of Larry Bird's face, like, overprint. Like, the whole t-shirt is his face with his mouth open. And so my dad would, like, take a nap. And I would come in in the room and be like, whoa, what is that? It's Larry Bird's face. It's a great slumdog millionaire, moment. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, yep.

Question number two, this is golfer Jack Nicklaus's nickname. Golfer Jack Nicklaus. I know who he is. Yes, yes. This is his nickname. I know he's very good. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Is it like...

Golfy McGalpherson? Like Shooter McGabbin. A golf guy. Shooter McGavin. The pro. No. That's a nice guest, though. I like that. That's classy.

Colin, you want to go for it? I believe Jack Nicholas is the golden bear. He is the golden bear. Oh, I was going to say the golden boy. Oh, man. Don't they have the jackets? The gold jackets or is that just from Happy Goldmore? Green jackets for the masters.

But yeah, right, right. Why is he a golden bear? Who knows? I'm not sure the origin of that nickname, actually. Neither, and I didn't do enough research to find that out. So question number three, question number three, from 1996 to 2007, this baseball team was managed by Joe Torrey. From 1996? 1996 to 2007, this baseball team was managed by Joe Torrey.

It's T-O-R-R-E. Oh, Torre. Which is a weird way of spelling Joe, but there you have it. East Coast. Boston Red So close. New York. New York Yanke. Ah, yeah.

Okay. Yes, yes, yes. I like how you were able to intuit East Coast just from the manager's name. Just from the way I was speaking? Because I figured 2007 that was, didn't the Red Sox like have a win or something? It was a big deal. They did have a win and it was a big deal. And so that's why I thought it was the timing thing.

Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Got it. Got it. Karen, question number four. Wow. Karen's round of sport. Name any two of the seven Canadian NHL teams.

Oh, this is easy. Oh, okay. Oh, yeah. Well, there is, of course, the Toronto Maple Leafs. Yes. I believe Vancouver Canucks. There you go. And also the Montreal Habs or Habiton or Canadian.

Canadian. Ottawa Senators. Yeah, oh, you're doing pretty good. Colin, do you want to try to finish it off? So we go ahead. Senators, Maple Leafs, Canadian, Canucks. Canucks. Three left. It's like Edmonton.

Edmonton. Yeah, Oilers. Edmonton Oilers. Two more. Calgary Flames and one more. Yeah, you have to think of major cities. Winnipeg Jets. Winnipeg Jets.

Wow. All right, between the two of you. All right. And question number five. At age 29 in 1973, she beat 55-year-old Bobby Riggs in a Battle of the Sexes tennis match.

Karen. Who is Billy Jean King? Absolutely. Very good. So let's see. Now, okay, you've acquitted yourself well in the sports round. Three out of five.

Very good. Let's see Colin tackle these Disney-themed questions. I'm not feeling confident. I don't know. We'll find out. We'll find out. We'll find out.

We've talked a lot about Disney. It's true. I've absorbed a lot of information. Yeah, yeah, passively. Yep, hopefully. Well, that's, I mean, you know, that's where Karen got all of her sports knowledge over the last, like, you know, five, six years.

Well, video game, my dad's t-shirt. Right. Billy Jean-Kin was from a trivia book. There we go. When I was a kid. My dad did have a Dumbo t-shirt, so no, no, no, I did, yeah, no. Okay, question one. What t-shirt did your dad?

All right. Question number one. This Disney film features characters such as To Lose, Marie, Duchess, and Roquefort. Okay. To lose Marie, Duchess, Roquefort, it's all French. So is that Beauty and the Beast? Oh, it is not.

Well, you don't get to buzz it. But you can go for it if you want to. What is the Aristot Cats? The Aristot Cats. Which takes place... You're kind of close. It takes place in France. It does take place in France.

little kittens and stuff. I didn't hear Lumiere. That's the only one that I know for 100%. I thought maybe Yeah. Right. All right. You know Marie, though. Marie's the white cat with the little purple Oh. That's where she's fine. Yeah. Okay. Got it. Sorry, I tried to pick characters that did not overtly suggest that this character is a cat.

Are there other cat names? Thomas O'Malley, the Alley cat. You can say Thomas O'Malley. Stat cat. I guess I could have. Yes. Name any two. Disney musicals that feature song lyrics written by Howard Ashman. Okay, so I'm assuming that's like the later gen, right? So I think he started with Little Mermaid, is that one?

So I'll say Little Mermaid and I'll say Beauty and the Beast. You are absolutely correct. In fact, you nailed the two that he actually wrote all of the lyrics to. He also contributed a song to Oliver and Company and then wrote three of the songs in Aladdin. Okay. Name the sequel to Fantasia. Oh, man. The sequel to Pham.

Oh, is it, it wasn't Fantasia 2000? Yes, it was Fentasia 2000. I almost overthought that one. I'm like, it's not Fantasia Barino. It's not, yeah. Asia to, like, the boogaloo. Fantasia Perino. The sequel.

I like it. We may need to know this one day. This is not a question, but for a bonus point, for both of you. In what year was Fantasia 2000 released? Well, okay. Well, it's got to be early because late would be stupid. I'll say 98, 1999. It was released in 1999.

It's like, just remember it's like Madden. Yeah. Okay. All right. In addition to its most popular Academy Award winning song, this movie also features the tunes, How Do You Do, and Everybody's Got a Laughing place. Oh, man.

Okay, so I'll just keep it to Academy Award winning. I believe Aladdin won something for an Academy Award for music. I don't guess Aladdin. It is. It is not Aladdin. Okay. Wow, you haven't been at Disneyland. I will tell you, yeah, you can hear both of these songs being sung on a certain

ride at Disneyland. I got nothing. Okay. I believe that's Song of the South. Song of the South. The Academy Award winning song being, Colin, I want to take a stab at it? Zippity. And finally, all right, how are you doing, actually, by the way?

I think you've got you nailed Ashman and Fantasia, so you can tie this up. Here we go. All right, here it is. Here it is. Here's the big old softball right across the plate, just for you. The titular characters of this film are named Todd and Copper. And Copper. Okay, so the, man, now I'm drawn a blank on anything that has title characters.

Todd and Copper. Todd and Copper. Todd and Copper Okay, they must be some kind of animal Are they like Cousins or Yeah, newsies? Is it newsies?

I wish it was newsies. But Karen will school you on. That's technically is titular. Yeah, absolutely. The Fox in the Hound. The Fox in the Hound. The Fox and the Hound. The most of the saddest movies.

Yeah. Wow. I've never seen that as a kid. I'm seeing that one. Oh, I don't remember. Oh, who was, what? Kurt Russell. What?

Really? Yeah. And, oh, the other person's famous, too. Was it, it was like an old actor. I think it was like a Mickey Rooney or something. Whatever. I'm a hound dog. I'm a hound dog.

Oh, so cute. Oh, man, I haven't thought about that one. I should see that on the end. Well, Karen, you're better at sports than I am at Disney. So, there we go. No Star Wars question or Marvel. I guess that kind of defeats the spirit of it. A little, yeah.

I get, I'm like, Colin, now I'll quiz you about Disney characters. When Luke and Skywalker. That was good. I like that. Oh, thanks. It's so funny because they're all so easy for me. And yet, my questions are so easy for you. But, yeah, like, I like, I like, when Chris was reading the Joe Torrey question, like, you're writing down the years.

And I'm like, oh, I don't need to know what years. Yeah. I know. I don't need to know what years, yeah. Right, yeah. Oh, that's great. All right. All right.

This is why we're a team. Yeah. That's why we're a team. This is why we're, this is why we are hated, actually. Hated throughout the entire food truck park. Pissed and booed at our own pub trivia. People do parody. I feel like they're smiling when they do that.

Yes, Deutschland, the land of the Deutsch people. Oh, really? Going way back, etymologically. Why do we call it? Why do we call it Germany?

It's, you know, because we get a route from one tradition. The locals have a route from another tradition. Sometimes we simplify things just because languages are crazy. What country in its native language is known as Nihon. Nihon. N-I-H-O-N. Just to pad this out and give you enough time to write this down because I know you know. Let's see. Answers up.

Oh, as in Helena. Also, Elada is E-L-L-A-D-A. Also acceptable, but Hellas is the much more archaic going way back. Right. Yep. If you're like an Olympics nerd, some of these will be very easy for you, you, because you'll see, you know, like when you're watching the Olympics, they'll have the names of their country on their uniforms, on their attire, things like that.

Yeah. So you may recognize some of these. All right, getting a little bit more tricky here. What country is known in its native language by the people who live there as Swomi, S-U-O-M-I-S-U-O-M-I? Wow. Getting tricky here. Wow. This may be a you know it or you don't one.

So what country is known to the people who live there as Magyar Ror-Sag? And I will give you a hint. This is the home of the Magyar people.

So if you know what part of the world that Magyar people live in. So that's M-A-G-Y-A-R-O-R-S-Z-A-G. And if you don't know where the Magyard people are, then this will not help you at all. No. Will I write two guesses? Sure, we'll allow two guesses. Really? Yeah.

Okay. Why not? I'll only count the first, but I'll allow you to take a follow-up guess. All right. All right. Answers up. Chris says Hungary. Karen says Mongolia and Macedonia.

Sorry, both incorrect. Chris has it. It's Hungary. Yes, yes. Hungarians are the Magyar people, uh, historic. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. And I'm sure I'm slightly butchering the pronunciation. I do apologize. Wow. Yeah. It's so different. Some of them, some of them are so close. You know, I mean, it's like, like the French call it France. So we spell it the same. That's about as close as you could get all the way up to Hungary and Magyararar Saag. What country is known in its native language to the people who live there as Hervatska, Hervatska, H, RV, H, A,

All right. Chris says Poland. Karen says Ukraine. No, it is Croatia. Oh. Croatia. Wow. Herboska.

Maybe Herbatska is pronounced Croatia. Yeah. I'm just pronouncing all of these wrong. All right. Last one. This is it, huh? The last one. Here we go.

And I'll give you a little clue. There are many dialects spoken in this country. Got it. Many, many dialects and languages spoken in this country. And all of them, the word is very similar. Sure. What country is known in the predominant languages and dialects there as Barat? Oh, that sounds.

B-H-A-R-A-T. B-H-A-R-A-T, Barat. And this is a slightly shortened version of the full, complete name, but this is the sort of colloquial. Well, bot is high currency, B-H-H-A-R-E. AT, but I don't think Thailand has that many different languages. Answers up. Karen says Indonesia.

Chris says Iraq. It is, in fact, India. Oh. India. Wow. Yeah, that was... Those are the hard ones. You guys...

I've heard that at some point, I guess, but yeah, would not be able to pull that up. Wow. You guys, well done. You guys, I mean, it's... The hard ones are hard. The hard ones are hard, and I like the way you guys try to reason them out by the language.

Yeah. One of your clues. Yeah. Okay. Great. Some good diversification and internationalization of the old podcast here. And we have one last, well, a segment, or surprise, I guess. Surprise.

Surprise. Surprise. Chris is prepared a surprise. Yes. Every now and again, we do this. Not very often, but it's a little rollover puzzle that I'd like to leave you with. Basically, here is a quiz that you guys can take over the week as you're waiting for the next episode of Good Job Brain. And then we'll let you know how you did.

So, here we go. I'm looking for the name of a musical artist. And I'm going to play you some song clips. None of these song clips are by the musical artist, who I am searching for. But what you need to do is, first, identify the artists of these song clips. And then once you have those artists, you should be able to tell me what musical artists I'm looking for. What you're really going to want to do is to write down the names of those artists in a list. And then somehow magically, you may find...

It's called a puzzle. Sometimes trivia's hard. You may find that if you write down those names of those artists, that you will ascertain the name of another musical artist, a totally unrelated musical artist. And that is the answer to the puzzle. So we will play you now this series of five audio clips. Please enjoy. No small And mama could
