So I've done a couple of these quizzes before where the format is I give you a hint. And the answer is a mashup of two answers with a shared word in the middle, kind of like a sandwich.
Starting point is 00:14:17 So, for example, I think my favorite one was Tina Turner actress's favorite dog species. Angela Bassett-Hound. Yes. So the answer is Angela Bassett, the Tina Turner actress, and then Species of Dog Bassett-Hound. So they share the last word of the first answer. Got it. Is the first word of the second part of the answer. Will of Fortune has a format like that, right?
Starting point is 00:14:44 Oh, really? Before and after. It does. It does. Yeah, before and after. Oh, before and after? Oh, okay. Yeah, Jeopardy will do that occasionally, too.

Starting point is 00:18:38 That was, I mean. That's cute. It was kind of. kind of hard to look for shared words. A lot of bands have the in the beginning, so it's not really natural. Fun thing. Now a lot of artists, I've
Starting point is 00:18:50 noticed, because I went to Billboard 200. Top 200 hits, I was looking in the artists. A lot of band names have one word, or there are a lot of artists with one word names. Oh, yeah. Well, that won't work at all. Drake, you know, keeps coming up. So there you go.
Starting point is 00:19:06 So we all read the internet, and there's something, there's There's this viral image that likes to make its way around the internet every now and again. And maybe you've probably seen. Remember when to find out what was on TV? You had to like read the newspaper? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:22 So this is a TV listing for the movie The Wizard of Oz, alerting people that the Wizard of Oz will be on TV. And what they would do is they would list the movie and then, oh, it's going to air on this channel at this time. And then a pithy synopsis of the film to let you know what you, you know, maybe you want to tune in for this. But of course, the summary of the Wizard of Oz that was listed in this particular newspaper, and this image goes around, it's the Wizard of Oz. The Summary is transported to a surreal landscape. A young girl kills the first woman she meets, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again. Which is a summary of the Wizard of Oz. And of course, like most things on the Internet, this gets distributed. And the
Starting point is 00:20:09 the person who actually wrote it, you know, kind of tends to fall by the wayside or not get included. This is the work of a writer named Rick Polito, who is in the business of doing these joky, irreverent movie and TV summaries. He now does them for the Pacific Sun newspaper, which is up in Marin, just north of us. So it should be pretty easy to guess what kind of quiz. This is going to be. I will give you one of Rick Polito's synopsies. And he's famous for these, like, sassy or out of context. Yeah, basically.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Like he will, yeah, so if you read, reading his TV listings is great because he does the TV listings and every one of them is joking. Sometimes it's a set up punchline. Sometimes it's like the Wizard of Oz where it's a, you know, ridiculous summary. But they're all accurate. They're all accurate. Yes. So I will give you one of Rick Polito's synopsies and you give me the film. All right. All right. This is a movie based on a Dr. Seuss book.

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, you perhaps understand them better.

Starting point is 00:28:04 Swifties. I'm not doing this in a mean way. but I think it's an interesting quiz so I will tell you a little bit about the person she dated and the name of the song and maybe a couple lyrics and then you guys tell me

We are never, ever getting back together. This is, yeah, this is about an actor. She dated for a while in 2011. And some of the lines are like, I'm really going to miss you picking fights and me falling for it screaming that I'm right.
Starting point is 00:29:00 You would hide away and find your peace of mind with some indie record that's much cooler than mine. so this is like a hipster actor Karen Jake Jillenhall I knew that one oh okay well you knew that they had dated

Starting point is 00:30:04 from one direction. Stiles. Wow. Taylor Swift, just stop dating people. Style. Just take a break. I get it.
Starting point is 00:30:13 It was funny. I found it today and I was like, what? That's so like one to one. You don't have to dig too deep. I don't know if she's admitted this one is about him, but it's so clearly about him. Whatever. Okay. This one is about a young actor that she was dating.
Starting point is 00:30:31 I think she was 20 and he was 17 at the time. This was in 2009, and they were in a movie together. This one's called Back to December, and the line about him is, I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right. Karen. They're in a movie together? They were in a movie together. I forgot this movie.
Starting point is 00:30:55 Is it Taylor Lautner? It is Taylor Lautner. I was going to say that. I was going to say that, I swear. And I think the movie is like, New Year's Day or Valentine's Day? I remember that Taylor and Taylor. For some reason, for some reason.
Starting point is 00:31:11 Tanskin, that was the giveaway. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. So this one, she hasn't admitted it's about this boyfriend, but everybody on the internet thinks it's about it. At this point, she should just suck it up. I mean, just be like, this is explicitly about this other person. The video takes place in a mansion.
Starting point is 00:31:31 She's wearing large sunglasses. It's for the song Blank Space. And she talks about how she dates lots of guys and breaks their hearts. Let's see. So a lyric is, because we're young and reckless, we're reckless, we take this way too far. I'll leave you breathless or with a nasty scar. And probably write a song about you as well. She does, in parentheses.
Starting point is 00:31:53 Oh, whoops. Colin. It's about, is it, you said it's a better musician? No, this one, he's. An actor. He's a socialite, a boy socialite. around pretty much. I got nothing. He was, oh, how about this? He was a high school
Starting point is 00:32:07 student when they first started dating. She was not a high school student. Whoa. Is he not a reality show? It sounds like I'm judging her, but interesting. They're in his key. Socialite. Is it one of the Hilton? Is it one of, is it, uh, is it, you're kind of in the right neighborhood? Is it, uh, Patrick Schwarzenegger?
Starting point is 00:32:26 I, no. That's, he's dating Miley Cyrus. Oh. Jack Osborne. No. No. It is Connor Kennedy
Starting point is 00:32:34 Oh Yes She bought that Mansion next to his grandma's Oh that's nice Okay God to buy a mansion At age 25
Starting point is 00:32:44 She got some dough She got some money Because of these Great songs Yeah That's true We'll close it out This one's about
Starting point is 00:32:51 A musician A cad It's called A CAD He's a well-known Cat about town Oh I think they all know Now
Starting point is 00:33:00 I don't know The song is called Dear John. All right. You know what? Let's let Chris have it. The song is called Dear John. Yeah. He's a well-known cad.
Starting point is 00:33:11 Some of the lines are like, don't you think I was too young to be messed with? The girl in the dress cried the whole way. So he's older. He's older. Dear John, I see it was wrong. Don't you think 19 is too young to be played with your dark-twisted games? Obviously, John Cougar Millers. no it is John Mayer John Mayer oh I don't know Colin knew Colin definitely knew it
Starting point is 00:33:41 yeah that was the only one I knew coming into this quiz was like I knew she dated John Mayer right yeah but not yeah yeah yeah she did she did there are songs but it was just like I didn't think I was like oh I know all of the yeah I'm sorry Karen you're right yes there was a song about Joe Jonas. She did date him. I didn't realize that she's made such an industry out of this, but you know, hey. So they're saying her latest album is like all about Harry's styles. Like the whole thing is almost, I actually respect Taylor Swift. I think she should get hers, do whatever she likes. She's made an industry of it. Yeah. It's funny though. Yeah. Not everyone writes about all of their exes. I personally would not date her at this point. Well, you're just a case. Well, I mean, yeah,
Starting point is 00:34:28 But, you know, if she were a call, I'd be like, no, Taylor Swift. I think we should just stay friends. But then she'd write a song about me anyway. You can't win. Yeah. Called bad job brain. But she wouldn't tell anybody that it was about me. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:45 But you'd know. That's my question. Can you, I mean, not Taylor Swift, but if someone does write a song that is, like Dear John, it's very clear who you're writing about, can you sue that person? for anything. You know, the problem is
Starting point is 00:35:01 as a public figure, the standards are so much higher for defamatory statements. And plus, nobody would actually listen to the song
Starting point is 00:35:11 and think that you could plausibly get away with saying, oh, I just made all that up. Yeah. You know, it's,
Starting point is 00:35:17 again, if Dave Cooleyer was okay with Alanis Morissette, then... That's true. You know what? Do you think he was okay
Starting point is 00:35:22 with it? I don't think he was okay with it. Well, he didn't sue. But do we know it's him? But he did for sure. Yeah, we know.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Yeah, we know it's him. I thought it was Doug Gilmore from the maple leaves. No, it's Dave Coolier. Yeah, yeah. He did drop a bucket of slime on her head, though. Yeah. I read an interview with Dave Coolier, and he was talking about that. Like, he remembered, like, when he first heard that song, he's like, man, this song is what an asshole this guy in this song.
Starting point is 00:35:45 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, I'd hate to be this bitch getting this song. He knows he dated her. He knows what it was about. He doesn't necessarily know that. It was a slowly dawning realization. Yeah, yeah. I bet it's a line by long.
Starting point is 00:35:57 And also when she performed the song live, she would put the moose antlers up on her lap. So that was really driving home. Oh, man. Because I love that you made a man. You got a dude. He's like, oh, I'm a lot of that show. Oh, my God, I did.
