Commercials.
I'm thinking of you.
I will name for you guys for this quiz.
Coming from someone who doesn't know how to drive.
Yeah, now I, in all fairness, I should say that only two of us at this table are licensed
drivers.
That is true.
That is true.
I'm not going to out anybody.
You're not going to say who's who.
Yeah.
But let's just say that me and Dana can drive home after the show.
I will name for you five or six names of models of cars made by a certain manufacturer.
These could be current.
These could be historical.
I will generally try and start more obscure and get easier.

Yeah.
All right.
Drive it away, Karen.
Oh, who?
Me?
Oh, man.
All right.
Here is a quiz that I'm hoping people will get and people will like, more importantly.
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.
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?
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.
Okay.
But this is themed.
All of these mashups are musical artists.
Okay.
Famous musical artists.
All of them.
So the sandwich mashup is of musical artists, musical artists.
Oh, jeez.
Yes.
And their bands are...
They can be bands and they can be a solo artist.
And the clue will be a mixture of their hit songs.
Okay.
All right.
We'll see.
I don't have some examples.
All right.
So let's do this.
Dirt off the shoulder of a sharp-dressed man.
J-Z-Z-Tock.
Nice.
Oh, awesome.
Nice, all right.
Dance, dance, chameleon.
Wow, Chris.
Dance, dance, chameleon.

Yeah, this is, so this is like for people who have music knowledge of a wide genre, current old.
Yeah, exactly.
But these are famous artists.
Okay.
All right.
Oh, well.
Okay.
Get your freak on between the bars.
Okay, so Missy Elliott
Missy Elliott Smith
Okay, all right
Correct, all right
You're on the board
Opposin ends of the spectrum
All right
Seven days in Suffragette City

Okay so somebody David Bowie
Somebody David Bowie
I'm missing on the first part
Oh, oh, Craig David Bowie?
Correct!
Craig David and David Bowie.
Team Fri.
This one's not great.
Shake off the fire and rain.
James Taylor Swift.
Okay, okay, okay.
Yeah, that was backwards.
Yeah.
Okay, all right.
Yeah, it doesn't F me.
Well, it screwed me.
Yeah, because I was like Swift.
Because I knew James Taylor.
Oh, I knew Swift.

Okay.
All right.
I only got that because you said half a thing.
Yeah.
All right. Last one.
We helped each other.
We did.
We did.
But I took the point.
That's all right.
I'll give it to it.
Last one, I guess this should have been included in the Christmas trivia game.
Frosty the Snowman kissed a girl.
Oh.
Katie Perry Como.
Oh, nice.
That's funny.
That's funny.
All right.
And that's my quiz.
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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. A grumpy malcontent stands in the way of an enterprise.
job creator.
Karen.
How the Grinch stole Christmas?

Rick Toledo, talented guy.
All right, let's take a quick break and a word from our sponsor.
This is Jen and Jenny from Ancient History Fan Girl, and we're here to tell you about Jenny's scorching historical romanticcy based on Alarica of the Bissigoth.
enemy of my dreams. Amanda Boucher, best-selling author of The Kingmaker Chronicle, says,
quote, this book has everything, high stakes action, grit, ferocity, and blazing passion.
Julia and Alaric are colliding storms against a backdrop of the brutal dangers of ancient Rome.
They'll do anything to carve their peace out of this treacherous world and not just survive,
but rule. Enemy of my dreams is available wherever books are sold.
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,
you perhaps understand them 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 Brain,
and this week is our All Quiz Bananza number 30.
And Dana is next.
Wait.
Yeah, sure.
Okay, I have a quiz for you guys about Taylor Swift.
Wow.
She's dated.
I don't want to say a lot of people.
She's had a nice life.
She's enjoyed her.
Rich experiences.
Yeah.
She's had a very varied life.
And she reflects it in her art.
Like she writes about her exes and her songs.
And that's an ongoing joke.
She admits it freely.
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
who the song is about
okay
oh yeah there's that many
there are yeah there are a lot
to make a quiz
yeah
Stacy I don't even own a gun
oh here let me have my
let alone
yeah
guns multiple guns to necessitate a
you're gonna lose me
Wayne. I lost you two months ago.
Okay. So we'll start up. We'll kick it off with her song. 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.
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
oh no I know the song is about it
oh you do okay
so you really okay
she really does a chance
yeah it's funny her videos are also like
reenactments of her dates
of her dating wife
at least you know what you're getting into
yeah
I mean yeah you do
so this one is called
style that's currently on the radio right now this is like a hit right now it's called style
it's about a musician that she dated for a while and as a hint in the lyrics it says you've got
long hair slicked back white t-shirt it's a current musical person oh Karen you know what
Colin go ahead Colin I was okay long hair slate is it um Jack White and the song is called
style style Karen it is Harry style
from one direction.
Stiles.
Wow.
Taylor Swift,
just stop dating people.
Style.
Just take a break.
I get it.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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?
I, no.
That's, he's dating Miley Cyrus.
Oh.
Jack Osborne.
No.
No.
It is
Connor Kennedy
Oh
Yes
She bought that
Mansion next to his grandma's
Oh that's nice
Okay
God to buy a mansion
At age 25
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
A musician
A cad
It's called
A CAD
He's a well-known
Cat about town
Oh I think they all know
Now
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.
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
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,
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.
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
as a public figure,
the standards
are so much
higher for defamatory
statements.
And plus,
nobody would actually
listen to the song
and think that
you could plausibly
get away
with saying,
oh,
I just made all that up.
Yeah.
You know, it's,
again,
if Dave Cooleyer
was okay
with Alanis Morissette,
then...
That's true.
You know what?
Do you think he was okay
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.
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.
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.
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.
You saw it's coming back.
Everybody watched all of that show.
What?
Yeah.
With new cast?
DJ Tanner and
Of course she's on it
Believe it or not
Kimby Gibler's available
She's
Yeah
She's like Candice Cameron's
She's married to a hockey player
Exactly
Is she?
Yes
That's the
She's into like
And she's also
Super Christian
Right like her brother
They're related
Yeah
Yeah
That was
Yeah
That was one
Yeah
It was no small part
of her getting that show
Was him being
famous
Already at the time
Yeah
Yeah
And
Justin Bateman
And
Justine
Justine Bateman
What the
I mean, your parents are
your parents are the same people
agents like, oh and you need a 12 year old boy
I have one. We've got one of those.
We could train it. He's in my chalk right now, yeah.
Better to go the known quantity when it's like a child actor
and something like that. It's like, oh, they're cool. They already
know the life and they're cool and they're already involved.
You don't need to learn another set of insane parents.
You know, honestly, yeah, you're hiring this. The set of parents is what you're
doing. And so, yeah, yeah. It's all true.

and we're nearing the end of our episode
but we got one more segment
and usually it's Colin
you got one last segment
I do
I had a lot of fun putting this one together
I have a quiz I've called
word flip for you guys
alright a little bit of
How much fun did you have
I actually did my wife can testify
I have a lot of putting this one together
I was working on this quiz on my vacation
The answers to this quiz
are all pairs
of two word phrases.
Now, to be precise, actually,
some of them may be compound words,
some of them may be two independent word phrases,
but for each one,
the two sets of words are flipped
or inverted versions of each other.
For example.
This is so key.
For example,
if I asked you to tell me
a kid's party where friends spend the night
and to accidentally miss your alarm
the morning, the answer would be
sleep over and oversleep. Sleep over and
oversleep. Right. If I were to say
a blazing building and the place where the people who put out the blaze
live, the answer might be
house fire or firehouse. There you go. That is the
nut of this quiz. Word flip.
So we have to give you the pair. This is a very
Wilshortzian puzzle. Yes, yes.
And uh, yes. Yes. Indeed. Get your buzzers ready.
I'll give you the clues for both words.
Remember, they are compound words or two word phrases, word flip, here we go.

For some reason, I was like, that's the most call-in of all the questions.
Man.
Yeah, they're not a lot.
Good job.
I'm amazed.
All right.
Well, hey, I had a lot of fun putting it.
together, four reels.
What was the hard part?
Well done.
Like, how'd you just...
The hard part was that there's not really a pattern to these.
The hard part was the first couple were just just brainstorming a lot of words until something stuck.
I did eventually discover that like focusing on prepositions was kind of good, you know, like over out up, you know, just like those kind of, yeah, that helped a little bit.
But yeah, it was, it took some time.
