You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
Hello, Tootty-Fruity, but never snooty beauties and cutie-patutie, possibly from Djibouti.
This is good job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and Offi trivia podcast.
Today's show is episode 161.
And, of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your pro-session of proactive, prolific pros, providing pros and programming about professors and prostate.
I'm Colin.
I'm Dana.
And I'm Chris.
Djibouti, formerly known as, what was it, French Somaliland.
Yes.
It came up in trivia.
It just came up in trivia last week.
It used to be known as French Somaliland, and then it was known as, oh, geez, what was the other one?
Colin's going to get it for us.
That sounds so random, French Somaliland.
Yeah, it was originally, sorry, it was at one time French Somaliland.
Then it was the French territory of the Afars and the Issa's.
Yes, that's right.
And then after that, it became the Republic of Djibouti.
Oh, so the full name is Republic of Djibouti.
That's right.
Not just Djibouti.
That's true for a lot of countries.
A lot of them are Republic of whatever.
So I guess I should have said, I'm actually myself, not originally French Somaliland, but formerly.
Yes.
at one time was known as.
Previously known.
Came up in trivia, and we got it wrong.
We guessed Central African Republic.
Because it sounded administrative in 70s.
Like, oh, something I changed the name.
Before we dive into the show, we need to do a quick...
This is a very happy installment of...
Actually?
Which is our corrections and or omissions segment.
So, yes, two episodes ago, we were talking about comics and comic books.
And I had a quiz for you guys about Marvel villain.
Are they real villains or are they made-up villains?
I would read you the name and a short description.
One of the villain supergroups that I put in there was the Hells Bells, B-E-L-L-E-S, which I had described as a gang of costumed, sexy criminals with sort of demonic uniforms.
And I had said that that was fake.
And that Hells-Bells was fake.
But as listener Chase wrote in to tell us, no, Colin, there was.
It was actually a real Hells Bells.
I could not believe.
I believe it.
I believe it.
I believe it.
And in fact, as I was doing the quiz, I was like, huh, Hells Bells, maybe I should have
fact-checked that one a little bit better.
So yes, indeed, in Marvel Comics in the pages of X Factor, there was a female mutant terrorist
group called Hells Bells, B-E-L-L-E-L-S.
So technically, the one I gave you was fake.
Yeah, because it's demonic.
So I will retroactively award all of you guys half a point credit.
And thank you to Chase.
I'm pretty sure I got that one right.
But yeah, I feel like 100% credit is in order, but all right.
You know, the judge has spoken.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, all judge's decisions are final in the court.
That is so good.
I can't believe it's like inception.
It was like you, it sounded so good.
And it was fake.
It was fake.
Turns out it was so good.
It's also real.
I mean, I can't take too much credit.
There are only so many puns in the world.
Yeah, exactly.
That's true.
right, so thanks for writing in that awesome
actually Chase.
Quick update, and this is something that we keep
updating back in the Let There Be Light
episode, which is not that long ago. There's been
a lot of development with, Chris, you
mentioned the Waukee-talkie building
in London. This keeps happening.
This keeps coming up. It keeps
different update. So not only was
this building a
death ray maker. We had
down drafts also. Down drafts.
And now, the London
walkie-talkie, thanks to Nikki Metcalfe, who
who tweeted us has been judged
in the winner of
UK's worst building
title. I can't imagine
what second prize went to.
Has won the annual
Carbuncle Cup.
Big C's. Big Carbuncle.
Big C. Carbuncle. Big C. Cup.
Awarded to the building
judged to be UK's worst.
So congratulations.
I wonder if it won on the merits
of the Death Ray and the
Yes.
Yeah.
Also, Death Ray, because it melted
cars.
Yep.
They fixed it.
They fixed it.
And then the wind tunnel.
Come for the death ray.
Stay for the down track.
Right.
You may feel intense searing pain if you stand underneath this building, but just wait.
Because when a slight breeze picks up, Gale Force wins will blow all the hot away.
They'll throw you to the ground.
It's like a dare.
It's almost like you go there by a dare.
And see, it melts your shoes, then it pushes down, and it sticks you to the pavement.
Oh, congratulations, walkie-talkie building.
And let's jump into our first general trivia segment, puff quiz, hot shot.
Here I have a random trivial pursuit card from the 90s version.
All right.
You guys have your Barnyard buzzers, and let's buzz in and play some trivia.
Here we go.
Nineties, zazazza, zah, uh, Blue Wedge.
What Richard Linkland?
film about Stoners was
hyped as, quote, a movie

Correct. Yes.
That's a good movie. It's not going to be a scanner
darkly. I like that movie.
All right. For Pink Wedge, what NBA star
claimed he was misquoted
in his own autobiography
titled Outrageous.

Mm-mm.
Outspoken.
Well, let me officially guess here, because I'm wrong.
I think it's Charles Barkley.
It is Charles Barkley.
That's great.
Misquoted in his own autobiography.
It's an opportunity.
with, like, bark is worse than his bite or something like that.
Right, right, right, right, right.
Yellow Wedge.
What was the first nation to entirely dismantle its nuclear arsenal?
Oh, the first nation to completely dismantle.
Hmm.
Let's see here.

Incorrect.
No, no.
Oh, okay.
Chris?
Canada.
Incorrect.
It's not a bad guess.
It's none of the current powers, right?
They all still, oh, that's it.
No, no, we would.
No, they would never have.
We weren't, yeah.
They were in an army, yeah.
Right.
All right.
Time's running out.

Correct.
Tokyo Japan.
Oh, okay.
Oh, wait a minute.
That Tokyo, got it.
Green Wedge, what Aussie rock star persona did Garth Brooks adopt for a 1999 album?
Colin.
I believe that is Chris Gaines.
Yes, it is Chris Gaines.
And I did not know he was supposed to be Australian.
I had forgotten that part.
Why?
Why do you need to have the two layers there?
Like Keith Urban?
Did he sing the songs with an Australian accent?
No.
Interesting.
He's saying just different songs.
Interesting.
But he's like, I'm, he just wanted to try on his Australian accent.
Just like, good day, mate.
All right.
Last question.
Orange Wedge.
What, quote, fully functional body organ had a high bid of $5.7 million when eBay finally pulled the plug on the auction.
Whoa.
Fully functional.
Body organ.
Fully functional in quotes.
Oh, in quotes.
Okay.
fully function.
Oh.
A liver?
Incorrect.
Is it John Wayne Bobbitt's penis?
No.
But that wasn't going to say that one.
It wouldn't be fully functional.
I don't know.
It depends on what function you have in mind.
That is my 90s.
Good job.
I'll guess a kidney.
It is a kidney.
Oh, so just somebody was just auctioned kidney.
Like, hey, I have an extra kidney.
You can have one.
It's in a Ziplock bag.
I don't know.
Somebody at eBay.
Somebody eBay is like, we have to expressly add no body parts onto the, yeah.

To a growing list of things you cannot put on eBay.
All right.

Come on down.
Well, I just came back from Anaheim, and I thought it was hot there.
But now that I'm back in Northern California, man, it's hot.
It's even worse.
It's hot.
I'm not running around in a Chiro costume like some people I could name.
However, it's so hot.
Disney Run Churro.
I think it's hashtag Karen Chiro.
I dressed up as a Chiro.
She did.
For my race.
It's amazing.
You scented the Chiro.
It was scented.
The costume was scented.
Well, how else are you going to know?
Nothing if not about the details.
It's like, is this a Chiro or poop?
Oh, it's a Chiro.
That is egg.
Exactly why I made sure that this thing reads and smells and experiences like a churro.
It experienced like a starshaired.
But, you know, it's like a running vertical brown lodge.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But it looks like a churro.
Okay.
It really does look like a chero.
Yeah, it's a little, I had a little jacket, transparent paper.
Yep.
It's either an awesome churro or someone's terrible at making a poop costume.
Right.
But it's also, it's very, it's sprinkled with, uh,
sugar not real sugar but no not real sugar but real cinnamon scent yeah but especially because
i'm running the race that i'm a blur i don't want people like man someone dressed up as like a tur
right right right for a disilland race yeah also you ran in that thing yeah i did right right right right
it was okay it was pretty fun yeah but uh i feel like it's hotter up here and you're not even
wearing a churro costume i know like collins cats are melting they look absolutely melted they look
like they're liquefying i periodically go over and just
kind of poke them with my toe to make sure they're still breathing.
So in the spirit of Collins melting cats, I thought it would be fitting if this week,
this very hot week, we talked about things that are liquid, melting into liquid.
So put on your ponchos, people, because people in the front row are going to get wet.
Dreams are hopeless aspirations and hopes are coming true.
Believe in yourself.
The rest is up to me yet.
Go, go, chasing waterfalls.
Please stick to the rivers and the legs.
all right i'll kick us off today with um some liquids some fictional liquids to be more specific
fictional beverages so drinks that were uh mentioned in works of literature or film or tv so you guys
have pads of paper oh right down we'll do it right down i tried to i tried to pick things that
everyone could possibly know because it's so specific like these characters were drinking this
specific brand of beverage.
What brand of beverage did they make up?
I'll give you a beverage name and maybe a few details about it.
And then you write down what work of fiction it comes from.
Okay.
Or universe.
Or universe.
Yeah.
Or universe, as the case may be.

Karen says Harry Potter.
Chris says Harry Potter, Harry Potter.
Oh, good job, Colin.
Harry Potter universe.
I don't need your condescension.
Don't you?
I'll just take the point.
I'll just take the point.
How about this?
Victory gin.
Whoa.
So this is from a novel.
And it's a cheap, low-quality drink supplied by the government.
Supplied by the government is maybe the biggest.
I wrote them down before they had.
You knew the answer right away.
I want to make sure.
Good job.
Yeah.
All right
All right

I was just talking about
this book with a friend of mine
I remember reading this book

in the back
and it was such a chore
like flipping back
and forth
until you memorize
all of the
right
yeah

Laughing Clown Malt Licker
And I'll
I'll give you guys a hint
They were a prominent NASCAR sponsor

Yeah yeah yeah
Colin says Talladega Nights

Taladega Nights
The Ballad of Ricky Bobby
I just put Ricky Bobby
I was like
I don't think
I was in the middle
I'm close
Yeah it was clear
You knew
Yeah
How about this
The Flaming Mo
It's several
Alcoholic beverages
Mixed together
With Children's cough
And it set on fire
Before serving
Which is I guess
The difference
Between this and
Sezerup
I don't know
Everyone says
The Simpsons
Words were teaching
everyone is right all right alamo beer
alamo beer yes that's a big hint
and it's the favorite beer enjoyed by the characters
on this cartoon
this cartoon
yeah
how do you guys all know
I like how everybody's making that contact
I know the show it's from
Wait, this cartoon, they drink, oh, okay.
Because I was like, kids' cartoon, they don't have beer, and then...
Well, Karen, you know, grown-ups watch cartoons, Karen.
Exactly, which is why I got to my answer.
Everyone says King of the Hill, yes, King of the Hell.
They're set in Texas, so Alamo Beer.
How about Girlie Girl beer?
This is also from a Fox show.
It's the lead character's favorite beer.
It's the official beer of his anti-feminist club.
Anti-feminist club?
He's a malefactor.
Wow.
All right.
Colin and Chris say,
Married with children.
Karen says,
Family guy is a good guest.
That was...
Family Guy was a good guest.
But that's, what is it?
Pawtucket, Patriot Ale, I believe.
Yeah, I'm sure they have other beers and made in that factor.
But it's not his favorite.
Al Bundy, the character we were referring to there.
Yes.
No, ma'am, the anti-feminist organization.
I forget what it stands for.
No man.
Okay, a couple quick ones.
Blue Milk.
Do we even need to write this, Darren?
I mean, can abbreviate it.
Star Wars.
Colin said Star Trek, so he's not right.
But Karen and Chris got it right.
They said Star Wars.
I'm shocked Colin that you got it wrong.
a little tongue-out face there.
Indicating sarcasm.
How about slurm?
A highly addictive soft drink.
Milk comes from a cow's behind.
Honey comes from a bees behind.
I can quote that whole episode.
Everyone says,
Futurama.
FutureRama, yes.
Slarms McKenzie.
Slurms McKenzie.
How about this frobs
scottle. This is from a
roll doll book. It
tastes a vanilla and it makes you
whizpop.
Maybe whizpop is a hint.
Colin says
Charlie in the chocolate factory.
Karen says Willy Wonka.
Chris says the BFG. It's the BFG.
Oh, wow. Good job.
Oh, man.
Whiz popping is farting. Yeah.
The bubbles
In, what was it called?
In Frobscottle.
Frogs.
Frogs.
The bubbles go down.
So instead of making you burt, they make you fart.
Mickey Whitspopping.
And it's the funnest.
I was really into that word when I was like in fourth grade or something.
How about this?
Old Dusseldorf.
This was a private detective's favorite beer.
And it was kept in his mini fridge.
This is the 80s TV show.
Oh.
an 80s private detective.
Oh.
Everybody's making a face.
You guys were all alive then.
It's true.
I'll give you another hint.
I bet all of your moms watch this show.
I bet they did.
All of our moms watched this show?
Yeah, because the guy's hot?
I don't know.
I'm not your mom.
Could be.
80s private.
I mean...
Oh.
Oh.
I got it.
Collins said moonlighting.
Karen says Magnum P.I.
Chris says moonlighting.
Magnum P.
Yeah.
Yeah, of course.
Those shorts, that mustache.
Yeah.
I had already written it down.
I was just like running through my mind.
I'm like, okay, yeah.
No, Magnum P.I.
As soon as I saw it, Karen.
How about shots beer?
Oh, why does that sound so?
Shots with a Z at the end.
Do you guys want to hit?
Yeah.
I mean, no.
Okay.
Colin says no. Hins are. Hins are. Now we've been given hints. That's fine.
Okay. Yeah, what's the hint?
It sounds so familiar.
The title characters were employed there.
Oh. Okay. Well.
Okay.
Everyone says Laverne and Shirley, Laverne and Shirley.
Shots beer. So this is the last one.
All right.
Vitamita Vegimen. It's a beverage that contains vitamins, meat, vegetables, and minerals.
Oh, yeah.
And also alcohol. It also contains.
a high amount of alcohol what I don't know I'm guessing Colin says I love Lucy
Karen says hitchhikers and Chris says 30 Rock it is I love Lucy wow but all of our guesses
I had heard it before but it's like I never like seen the episode so this is a great
episode of I Love Lucy so like she's doing she's she's pitching for it
and she's having to do repeated takes and she's getting drunker and drunker
and she's just a masterpiece of physical comedy on Lucille Ball's part.
It's a tongue twister to start with when you're sober and then, yeah.
Nice.
Now I'm thirsty.
Good job, you guys.
So I started thinking about liquids, which is a large category of matter, quite frankly,
trying to think of some, what am I going to talk about?
And I started thinking about honey because, of course, we talked about honey on the show before.
Yeah.
Lots of a cool honey family.
a great slam dunk
with our segment about
birds or bees
cute birds
bees birds and bees
bees would be good for this episode
bees eating M&Ms and then
producing blue honey and all kinds of stuff
it's got me thinking this must
be like going out and getting
honey out of beehives must be a very old
human activity right this must go back
a long way yeah yeah turns out that
yeah
in fact there is a
there's a cave painting
that was done in Spain
or was not Spain at the time
Sure
It was just
Cate Land
That's Proto Spain
Yeah
What is now known
In your earth language
As Valencia Spain
Oh
That very clearly
Depict someone
Climbing up a tree
And reaching their hand into a nest
To get honey and honey
Or somebody playing high lie
I think it's
I think it's somebody
With their hand in a bees
nest. This cave painting could be, because of course it's very difficult to date these
things, could be up to 8,000 years old. Wow. So we're talking millennia, millennia
of people going and getting honey. And so over the millennia, this evolved from, roughly speaking,
let's go out and find a beehive to what if we were to create holes in trees where the bees
might go and make a hive that, like, really inviting, you know, for rent areas in trees that
the bees would be attracted to so that we don't have to go looking, we could just go check
the holes we made and maybe there's a beehive.
From hunting to farming.
From hunting to sort of like rolling the dice farming to finally, you know, rolling the dice
farming.
To finally like creating, to building the beehives and putting the bees in there and making
sure that they'd stay in there.
Right.
Yeah.
So honey hunting, here's the part where it just gets crazy.
There is a family of birds.
And they have the family name Indicatoridae.
Ah.
Which what?
Their common name of these birds is the honey guide.
It shows you indicates where the honey is.
Right.
One word.
The honey guide.
Indicatoridae.
Yes.
Chief among these birds is family birds is the greater honey guide who has the amazing Latin name of Indicator Indicator.
That's his Latin name.
Honey guide birds are one of the few birds out there that eat wax.
Oh, not honey.
They don't want the honey.
They don't want honey at all.
They are interested in eating wax or like wax worms or like, I mean, they eat insects.
So like the walls of the honeycomb as well.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
And there's a lot of bees wax, bee wax, bees wax.
The bees are careful to not let the honey guide birds into their nest because it is none of
their bees wax.
I was waiting.
I was waiting for it.
Thank you.
I was waiting for it.
It blindsided me.
Waiting 161 episodes.
That totally blindsided me.
I did not see that dad joke coming.
And in my head, as you were talking, I was like, I was like, what do they say none of your beeswax?
Is it because it sounds like business?
And then you said it.
And I was like, oh, my God.
Yep.
So anyway, the honey guides cannot actually get in there.
They will get, like, probably stung to death trying to, trying to go in.
So the honey guide birds over the millennia developed a fantastic,
fascinating evolutionary
behavior. They will go
and they will find a human
being and they will be like
hey hey hey in a certain manner
like follow me and they will fly
conspicuously or like you know
make themselves very conspicuous as they go from
like tree to tree or flying
to get the human to follow them
and the humans
learn oh these birds will lead us to honey
they train the humans to folks. That's great.
And they will do certain calls and things like that to try to get their attention.
And so they get the attention of a human.
And so, of course, you know, the tribes and things like that are listening for these certain, you know, bird calls.
So this is actually, it's still practiced today by societies like the Hadesa, which are people who live in Tanzania.
And they follow after the birds, and the birds leave them to the hive.
Then once they get to the hive, the humans smoke out the bees.
Yes, yeah.
Because you smoke to dull, the bees will not like, like,
They'll still sting you, like some of them will, but mostly they'll be lulled into a torpor, you know, they will not, yes.
So, then they reach in and they, and they probably get stung some, you know, but they reach in and they pull out the honeycomb.
And they basically take it all out of the hive, thus pretty much like killing the hive at that point.
Right.
And that's something the honey guide, you know, could not do.
And so now the honey guide can potentially go in and get the scraps that the humans leave over.
but the humans get the honey the bees the birds get what they want it's like his finder's fee yeah yes
now what's really interesting is they're still doing research into the human and honey guide relationship and there are some like disputes so i found like a segment of an old tv like a national geographic type tv show
that purports to show honey guides leading other animals in this case the honey badger
leading a honey badger to the hive the honey badger gets the thing but then some people say this is not true or that they have not observed
this. They've only seen this relationship with humans.
Interesting, early writing about this old tradition kind of romanticized it maybe a little
bit because it would say, oh, the humans make sure to leave one piece of the honeycomb
behind the honey guide bird. Yeah, no. Or, and if they did not do that, then the next time
the honey guide would leave them into a lion's day or, you know, get a snake or whatever, right? So you always have to
make sure to do this.
Right.
It's a leopard bird.
But more recent anthropological
recent, like recent, like 2014,
like recent shows that at least
today, the hodzah will often
eat all the honeycomb and then take
whatever they did not eat and they actually
burn it. And there's a
video of somebody asking, so why are you doing this? He goes,
well, I mean, if the bird would eat it, the bird would
get full and then wouldn't guide me any
more nests. So we're
stringing the honey dive along
to keep him hungry, so he'll lead me to more honey.
This is, like, being mischievous on both sides.
There is manipulation on both sides of this relationship.
It is an uneasy partnership.
Yeah.
The bird of the people are like, come on, we all knew what this is.
Right, right, right.
And to make you feel a little bit better about this, I want to stress that the honey guide,
so we know with the honey guide, you know, how he interacts with humans,
sounds like a cool guy.
No.
Yeah.
The honey guide is an a-hole?
He is.
Yeah, I bet.
The honey guide is an a-hole bird.
Now, careful listeners of good job brain know about a-hole birds.
Yes.
Like the cuckoo.
Yes, specific a-hole birds.
Yes.
So, I mean, you discussed an earlier show, the cuckoo is what is called a brood parasite.
Yeah.
And that what that means is that the cuckoo does not raise its own eggs.
The cuckoo goes around to other birds' nests and deposits.
the eggs in the other nests.
So the
honey guide also does this.
The honey guide is also a brewed parasite.
It's a crafty bird.
So the honey guide does not take care of its own children.
It doesn't even build its own nest
and finds a nest full of eggs of another bird
and deposits its own babies in there
and then beats it.
And then the other birds are tricked
into thinking that the honey guide is one of their children.
Right.
Yeah.
It's pragmatic.
However, the honey guide is the primo A-hole
of all A-hole birds.
Because the first thing a honey guide bird usually does when it hits up somebody else's nest
is it checks to see if there's any other honey guide eggs in the nest.
So if another honey guide has already been there in a lady and a egg,
it kicks them out.
Hold the same thing.
No, it punctures the egg, it's beak.
Oh, my God.
It pops a hole in it will try to kill it.
Then if there's other eggs from the actual birds that built that nest, it will also
puncture them too.
But it goes for the, it knows the honey guide eggs, gets those.
First, because it needs to kill off any potential other honey guides who will compete with it for the bees' nests that it's going after.
So it kills its own...
Oh, my God!
Oh, yeah.
Oh, it gets worse.
So let's say, for example, that this attack did not work or didn't puncture all the eggs and the other chicks are born.
Well, the honey guide egg that's been left in this nest usually is born first.
All birds, most birds, let's say, just I'm just, I don't know if it's most birds.
I'm just going to, you know, C-Y-A here.
Birds are born, blind, naked, and basically help us.
Vulnerable.
Yeah, totally vulnerable.
If you ever seen a baby chick that's just been born, it is gross.
A little alien, and it's blind.
You can do anything and fly.
Honey guides, when they are born, they are born with a tiny, working,
razor-sharp needle beak.
And they sit there and wait, and as their little foster brothers are born, as soon as they hatch out of the egg, the baby honey, the blind, flightless baby honey guide goes over and brutally murders them.
He grabs them, he bites them to death, he'll shake them around and his jaws until they're dead.
One by one kills all the other babies.
So the parents come back, all the babies are dead, except for their fake baby who killed them all.
He's like, I don't know what happened.
They were like that when I got here.
Also, apparently the honey guides are generally bigger or certainly want more food.
Yeah, they want more food than the babies that are in there anyway.
So now these poor parents are like working overtime to feed this not their baby because it gets huge, right?
For like a month until he finally.
leaves the nest.
At least he doesn't murder them too.
You know what?
He does not murder them.
That's a silver lining.
Yep.
But just day once,
stone cold killer right out of the egg.
It's like a Shakespeare tragedy.
Honey guy.
Oh my goodness.
What a crafty bird.
And then they go find their friends, the humans.
It makes the human.
Air quote, friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Wow.
Note to other birds.
We do not condone this behavior.
Right.
No.
I feel like we need to give like little virtual awards, like good job brain awards to like these MVP's.
This is like most a whole, man.
Wow.
Well, Chris, please keep us informed.
You are officially on the honey and bee beat.
Good job, brain.
Anything else pops up.
It's official.
You're the head of the office there.
Awesome.
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 incestious
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 i've got a quiz for you guys a liquids
grab bag quiz with a sciencey bent to it oh i hope we talked about p because i didn't research about
i did not talk about p i did not talk about p that is a liquid you're right p is a liquid
but uh other angles of science and physics and yes this is the non p related science
liquids quiz.
Okay.
Grab your buzzards.
Copyright.
Yes, copyright.
First in an occasional series.
All of these questions will be in some way, shape, or form about liquids.
So here we go.
Let's start off with one that may make you think a little bit.
What is the difference, scientifically speaking?
What is the difference between a fluid and a liquid?
Now, we use these interchangeably.
in colloquial speech, but they are
technically speaking, not the same thing. Karen.
Things in liquid form
and things in gas form
are both fluids. You are
correct. Oh, yes. It's a little
more expansive than that even. Yes.
A fluid is just the umbrella term
for all substances
which can flow.
Anything that can flow.
And in fact, the word fluid comes from
fluare Latin to flow.
So basically, could you pump it through a pipe?
Could you pump it through a
hose. So it includes
liquids like water
and it also includes
gases and plasmas. So
here's the definition.
What? You can put cake
through a tube. No, but you couldn't
pump a hose full of cake.
You would have to put cake in water.
Cake does not find its own level.
Let me give you a more
technical definition here as opposed
to could you pump it through a hose?
That's my working definition.
Sounds like a challenge.
but basically a fluid is something that will flow meaning it gives way to sheer force
and another way to think about it is it's something that'll take on the shape of its container
it is a substance that will take on the shape of its container so air gas it'll expand to fill
the room you put a liquid in a bowl it'll take on the shape those are all fluids
liquids are subset of fluids that can create their own
surface they are generally
incompressible so I can compress gas
but you can't really compress water
and most importantly they can get things wet
I mean it sounds really it sounds silly to say it but a liquid
has a wetting thing yeah whereas a gas
yeah a wedding property and and and to prevent
I'm actually you can compress anything
yes yes they are compress anything you want they are
very very difficult right yes so all liquids are fluids
but not all fluids are liquids are liquids
Okay.
Now I'll put cake in a tube.
I feel like cake can do a lot of those things.
It might be a semi-solid.
Yeah.
Well, because it's full of air.
This is, no, a cake would not take on the shape of its container.
If I put a cake in a box, it's not going to expand to fill the box.
If we could figure out a way to get children of America to suck cake through a garden hose.
We would make millions of dollars.
Hose cake.
Press it into a box.
Hose cake.
It's like gogurt, you know, but it's cake.
Excruised it.
Take those Play-Doh things
Where you're like squeeze the cake
It becomes noodles
Well that's a good point though
It's not it's not could you fit it into a box
It's left on its own
Yes you could squeeze cake into a box
Yeah
But if I put a piece of cake in a box
It's not going to expand and fill the box
Where if I fill it with oxygen or water
When solid water
I like to call it ice
When solid water
Passes directly to the gas phase
You know, we'll call it steam
Without going through the liquid phase
This process is known as
Karen was the only one ready to buzz in, Karen.
No, we all buzz in.
Sublimation.
Sublimation.
Passing, you can go, it doesn't have to be water
if it's just anything that goes from a solid
passes through without being liquid at any point.
It's like freeze-dried food.
Freed dried food is probably the best known use
in our world of sublimation, yes.
True or false?
What we perceive as solid glass is actually an extremely slow-moving liquid.
This is false.
Oh, but they talk about how...
Patently false, but you will see this fact cited a lot.
I have heard that before.
Yeah.
I have heard that before.
I was taught that one as a kid.
Like, yeah.
The old glass on windows.
Like the bottom is always a little bit thicker.
Right. Right. Right. That's right. And that's really, that's nothing more than just an artifact of the glass making process in years gone by.
Really? That's right. That is the evidence. The evidence for this has always been, well, if you look at windows in buildings that are hundreds of years old, why do you think they're fatter on the bottom? Or why do you think it's Ripley? Because that's just how the glass was made the glass.
You know, came that way. Right. It came that way. It was made that way. You know, and a lot of people in the past have pointed to, well, you know, glass doesn't have a traditional crystalline structure when it cool.
And this is true, like liquid glass, as it solidifies, it is unlike other materials, but it does become solid.
You can't pump it through a hose.
I like that.
That's her.
But this one, yeah, if this one comes up, feel free to um, actually somebody.
This one, you may get asked this one at Pub Quiz and be prepared to fight for this one.
Glass is not a liquid.
I hope it doesn't come out of that.
Be prepared.
How bad do you want that point?
By weight.
Which of the following has the highest percentage of liquid?
mostly water.
All right.
These are all common fruits and vegetables here.
So you tell me which one has by weight, the highest percentage of water.
Okay.
Broccoli, grapes, oranges, tomatoes, or watermelons.
Karen.
Grape.
It is not grapes.
In fact, grapes has the least out of all of these on this list.
I'm thinking of one grape
Well, it's percentage
Yeah, so it doesn't matter
Whatever amount you have
Yeah
Chris
Tomatoes
It is tomatoes
Yes, tomatoes by weight
94% water
Yeah
watermelon is only
92%
So it's not far below
Yeah
By weight tomatoes have more water
Than watermelon
They do
They do
And it makes sense if you
think about it because the rind is so thin the rind is so heavy on a watermelon um but yeah on
on a tomato it's like a skin so thin yeah and and and for a little baseline here uh iceberg lettuce
uh 96 percent water by weight yeah yeah yeah crunchy water crunchy water is that what they
call less yeah crunchy water yeah my sister always called that growing up yeah this a yeah it could be
good marketing campaign.
Yeah.
What are the only two chemical elements that are liquid at standard temperature and pressure?
Oh.
This is a good one to know.
Yes.
Well, okay.
Chris.
Mercury.
Mercury is one.
And the...
I would also have accepted Quicksilver.
Oh, sure.
Yes, because you're a million years old.
Oh.
This is a good one to know.
And I, Karen.
Iodine.
Not iodine.
You're so close.
Oh, you're very close.
It's in the same family.
It's...
Bromene.
Bromene.
Bromene.
Bromene is...
It is.
It's very close to iodine and chlorine.
It's reddish, brownish.
Oh, but what iodide is natural?
Like, powder or something?
Solid.
Right.
Right.
So here's a mnemonic for you guys, how we can remember these two, all right?
If you're a Marvel Comics fan, you know that Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver are siblings.
Okay?
So you're just thinking, you're asking the Scarlet Witch, like, is Quicksilver?
Your brother?
Yeah, he's my bro.
He's bro mine.
Bro mine.
Wow.
So bromeen and mercury.
And so what's the mnemonic we can use, remember this?
You have to be a Marvel Comics nerd.
Or recruit one to your team.
Or you can just memorize that there are two things.
What about like a, you know, like a bro who is a mer man?
And so he lives in liquid.
And so he's mer bro.
and that's how
And he likes silver things
Yeah and he likes
Yeah sure
Yeah
Yeah sure
Let's be part of your world
Yeah
Right right right
But he's part of the liquid world
He drives a Toyota
Not helping
I don't know where you're going with this
Instead of a merch
Each you know what
Everyone
Everyone can come up with his or her own mnemonic
Whatever
Whatever works for you
All right last one
Last one here
This is still hot
Still hot in here
A little bit of a brain teaser
For you guys
here. Let's say you have a
tanker truck meant to carry water.
Giant tanker truck.
It's empty. You need to fill it up with water.
All right? Now you've got a hose.
Tell me... It seems like a terrible idea.
Does it use more energy
to run the hose up to the top
of the tank and fill it from the top?
Or does it use more energy
to run the hose to the bottom
of the tank and fill it from the bottom?
More energy to pump
the hose up to the top of the truck
fill it from the top or more energy
to just connect the hose to the bottom
and just fill it straight from the bottom.
Okay, all right.
I think I have a, I mean, I have a...
And please, be prepared to defend your answer.
I have a pseudo-scientific.
All right, Chris, please.
So if you were to put it into the bottom of the truck
and fill it from the bottom,
you're putting the water in at the bottom,
which means that not only you have to put the water,
if you use the energy to put the water in,
but you have to use the energy to force all the other water up
because it has to put it underneath the water.
and let's push the water up so you've got to pump harder to get the water in there to also
displace the other water as you're putting it in but if you were to fill it up from the top
you're dropping it in gravity takes it down it just fills right up so it would seem to me as if filling it
from the top would be the most efficient way of putting the water in so I I think this is a trick
question I think that's that's what I would think so I'm going to go
The Joe vlog's answer?
Yeah, from the top.
Sorry.
Feeling from the bottom is?
And I think it's something about displacing the air and pushing the air out.
I don't know.
Okay.
Damon is the tiebreaker here.
So I'll say, I was like, oh, the energy to get to the top of the hose, like to travel up the hose.
Like maybe that's more except it's in a small, I'll say uses more energy from the bottom.
I think we all, what Chris said.
So Chris and Dana say uses more energy from the bottom.
bottom with the reasoning
being you've got to lift up all the water.
Karen says more energy
to fill from the top just to be
contrary. Yes. Okay.
All right.
I think that's that.
Karen, you are correct.
Yes.
Just for being contrary.
He said it was a true question.
I didn't say it was a trick question.
Oh, no.
You said it was a trick question.
You said it was a trick question.
Most people, their instinct,
there is, well, yeah, if you fill up in the bottom,
it's got to push up all that other water.
So, you know, let gravity do your work for you.
Is that not how it works?
So I'll explain why the other answer isn't correct.
So if you're filling it from the top, every bit of water that you put in the tank,
you've got to force up the height of the tanker into the hose.
Every little bit has to have the energy to push it up the hose and into the top of the tank before it gets in there.
Whereas if you fill it from the bottom, when you're filling from the bottom of the tank,
you only need enough force to displace the column of water directly above the opening.
So it's just however wide, however wide your, the circumference, however wide the diameter
of your tube is, that's how much you have to displace.
So when it's virtually empty, you don't displace any.
So it actually uses more energy to fill it from the top, less energy to fill it from
the bottom.
I did say the hose thing.
Yeah.
I was wrong for the wrong reasons.
The first time I heard that one, I had the exact same answer and the exact same reason.
Yeah.
Maybe the cake through the hose.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, because you have...
What about we have to fill the taker with cake?
I mean,
cake is heavier than water.
I think you have to displace more than just...
Yeah, yeah.
Well, when we find a, you know, the tanker truck.
Tank tanker.
The canker truck.
The canker truck.
It's a cake tanker.
You know, a canker.
All right, well, well, well, done, guys.
Rolling it down the old highway.
All right.
All right, let's take a quick break.

good job brain smooth puzzles smart trivia good job brain so this episode is about liquids and i'm going to
talk about a beverage so a drinkable liquid and what do you think the following cities have
in common shanghai london london chicago
New York City and Seoul
What do you think those five cities have in common?
With a drinkable beverage?
Related to a drinkable beverage.
I'm going to guess
those are the top
like beer drinking cities in the world.
I was going to say
Coca-Cola drinking cities in the world.
I figured like Atlanta would be in there.
Yeah, well, they'd be.
Or other southern cities.
The South. I'm not sure.
In order.
Seoul, New York City, Shanghai, London,
in Chicago had the most
number of Starbucks location
Seattle is not even
top five. It's not that big of a city.
It's not that big of a city. And also there's like a lot of
other coffee places. So Seoul
284 stores. This is
as of recently.
Next week maybe they have more stories. Sure, sure, sure. But Seoul
right now has more stores than New York City. Has seven more
stores than New York City. Wow. Okay.
And that's a lot.
So 284 stores in Seoul in South Korea versus what you would think has a lot of Starbucks stories, which is Seattle, 142.
So I'm going to talk about a little bit about Starbucks, which we talk a lot about, you know, in passing, we talk about the logo, which is the mermaid, sorry, the melusine.
Yeah.
Who's a siren has the split tail.
We talked about how that animal might breed, theoretically, before.
Not strictly speaking about Starbucks, but yes, yes, we did.
And I did not know this, but we record here in Berkeley most of the time, and Starbucks, the history of Starbucks is very dependent on another coffee chain or a coffee store, and that is Pete's.
And I had no idea that the Pete.
Pete here, the one that I've gone to, is the first Pete of the world.
Which one is that?
The one on Vine, on North Berkeley.
Pete started by Alfred Pete, who is born in Holland.
So this is around in the 1960s, 1970s that before then, there was no such thing as gourmet coffee or coffee.
Coffee was like instant.
It was crystals.
Like, it was kind of everybody was just okay drinking bad coffee or what we think now is bad coffee.
until Alfred P.
was like, oh, wow.
When he came to America, he's like, wow, this coffee is really crappy.
Not good.
So he, from what he learned from Europe and started his store, Pete's, which, you know, educated, also provided the public with this is what coffee should be like.
We have the beans.
We roast the beans.
We grind the beans and we, you know, the whole process.
And before this, it was not a thing.
Right, right.
Yeah.
not a thing. And so Starbucks, the founders of Starbucks, saw this and was like, you know what, this is the right way for coffee. No more, you know, we should have, we should have the beans that we roast in-house and we grind the beans and we serve coffee. They're not. You know, everything is kind of more, more boutiquey, more handmade.
Had they started Starbucks by that point? No, it's because they were, they're inspired by Pete's. And so first Starbucks opened in 1971.
They weren't selling drinks.
They were just selling machinery and equipment to do such things.
Oh.
So 10 years later, a man called Howard Schultz was hired as the director of retail operations.
And he came to the conclusion, like, guys, you know what?
We would probably make more money selling the drinks instead of selling the equipment or the beans for people to do this at home or to do for other stores.
And so he couldn't convince the original Starbucks owners that this idea is right or that that's,
This is something to pursue.
So he left and he started his own chain of coffee bars.
And this is in 1986.
The next year, the owners of the original Starbucks sold that business to Howard Schultz.
And so now he has the Starbucks name.
He now changed all of his coffee bars to Starbucks.
And now Starbucks became the store that sold beverages.
Regardless of how you feel about Starbucks, it's very, very, very, very,
very smart business moves, what Starbucks continued to do, sells food.
It sells alcohol now, I believe, the Brooklyn.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
So the Brooklyn Starbucks is now doing like Starbucks evening, where they have.
Starbucks after dark.
Where they have a wine tasting.
The drink, Frappuccino.
Frappuccino was not Starbucks.
It was a coffee chain called Coffee Connection in Boston or in Massachusetts where they
had the name Frappuccino.
They sold ice blended drinks that they called that.
They got acquired by Starbucks and Starbucks got the name for Pacino.
Genius is also convincing the public that like coffee is no longer a morning drink.
Coffee is an all day drink in different forms.
You might go to Starbucks.
You might see that they sell bottled water.
They own that company.
Ethos Water.
They acquired that company.
Starbucks has their own music production house where they, I think they did a collaboration with like Pavarotti or with like
like opera.
And so now they also, well, they acquired, it was a San Francisco music production house called
I think Hear Me, Hear Music.
It's about controlling the experience.
Yes, exactly.
And here's the fun part.
I bought a CD at Starbucks once.
I'm not going to lie.
Multiple.
And they have those iTunes, like partnerships and stuff.
Yeah.
So here's what's interesting.
Oh, now they'll give you a video game.
We'll give you an app.
Yeah.
Oh, this app is free this month at Starbucks.
Yeah.
In Seattle, though, they have.
have what they call local washed stores, I mean, quote, local washed, where they have these
experimental Starbucks location, but they call them stealth Starbucks.
Their coffee houses, they're owned by Starbucks, but their branding is very minimal, and they
do things like they host poetry jams or something like more coffee culture, coffee house culture
stuff.
It's owned by Starbucks, but they're kind of like...
It's called Bar Stucks.
That's where they try out things.
and they call it local walk
to try to make it look more
like it's part of the neighborhood
than like the mega chain
I mean without putting the company
down they're probably somewhat a victim of their
own success too like that they need
to sort of have this stealth
roots you know appeal
it's fingers of Starbucks
it's in so many pie
it's no hay cups
licensing now there's a whole
collectible culture with their
city coffee mugs
that, like, I know people are shipping, you know, or buying them from one...
My dad collects their little cards, the little preacher that you can load up with the money.
And there's a whole, and I have learned through my dad, there's a whole subculture of the Starbucks card collectors.
Oh, of course, yes.
Because, of course, there is.
Starbucks app, I mean, especially, like, you know, being Disney fans, the Disney Starbucks collaboration and also the mugs.
They have Disney Park specific that you can only buy in the parks from the in the parks.
from the in the park Starbucks, I know people who would fill up their suitcases and then
they'll go send it to people or whatever.
And my last note about Starbucks is there is a culture of people who get their joy from
creating new menu items or what they call secret menu from what is available on the Starbucks menu.
Like you'll get a vanilla frappuccino and then you'll put the turkey sandwich in it.
She called it the...
The Turcichino.
Thank you.
And some of these recipes are...
That's copyrighted by me.
Turcacchino is yours.
You'll get all the proceeds from the end of it.
People have learned to hack.
They say that baristas also do this too.
Like, they come up with new...
Yeah, sure.
I hate this whole movement.
I hate this entire movement.
Oh, the secret menu movement.
Oh, did you know, if you ask for this, they'll make it for you.
Oh, I hate it.
Yeah, they will.
Because there's always somebody who's in front of me in line.
Given the barista, oh, no, it's two pumps of this and it's this.
And they get mad if they don't know the special code name.
Right.
And I'm like, come on, just order off the menu, man.
Wow.
And well, no, if they put that on the menu, they'd never order it again because they've got to get their secret.
Yeah, you're right.
There are people who take it to a little bit of an extreme.
Sorry, you touched a nerve there with me.
Wow.
Like, Pallin, not in the street menus.
Do you go to In-Nat Burger?
From teas to fravichinos to.
to hot drinks, you can make, like,
so there's a Starbucks secret menu.net.
And it's like,
almond joy Frappuccino,
where you have to ask for the almond milk
instead of the water.
Lucky charms, Frappuccino.
One pump of leprechaun.
There's a whole subset of cereal inspired.
What's a lucky charm for you?
And this is actually submitted by a barista.
So I'm sure these people are having fun.
Like, what else weird stuff?
So a cream-based Frappuccino
Add white mocha syrup
One pump for tall
One and half pump for Grande
Two pumps for Venti
Add marshmallow syrup
Blend and top with whipped cream
Oh okay so vanilla and marshmallow
Yeah sure
Okay
Why did you just ask for a Frappuccino
Half Vanella half marshmallow
We gotta be a jerk about it
I want to have lucky charms
Captain Crunch
It says it really tastes like
Okay.
You really cares the roof of your mouth.
So, strawberry and cream fripchino, add caramel syrup, add toffee syrup, add hazelnut syrup.
Okay.
Optional.
Add Java chips if you want some crunch.
I thought you were going to say optional coffee.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, that's just, yeah.
I think a strawberry cream frappuccino doesn't have any coffee in anyway.
That's I wrote your hot.
I really need to pick me up and go and get your fracchino and you come out.
It's like, I still feel like garbage.
I think I just ingested 2,000 calories.
I'm not even awake.
I felt real good for like 10 minutes.
So there you go.
Some quick tidbits about Starbucks.
To not, so just if you want to order off the secret menu, the lesson is you go up to the counter, then you look behind you to see if Colin is behind me.
And if he's not, you are free to order off the secret menu.
Or I would say, I mean, for reals though.
Oh.
Low traffic day.
Yeah.
Tell them for us to say, hey, you know what?
I want to try out something.
I was wondering if you can help me.
And you give them maybe a written thing, like a one pump or one, you know, like, and then, and thanks for helping.
But you're right. Not if there's a huge line.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
And maybe the person's like, you know, this is, like, you know, this seems kind of fun.
Like, maybe they'll work with you.
I don't know.
Just always be courteous.
Yeah.
Just at work, the company that, like, supplies our coffee started bringing in because it's so hot.
They also started bringing in ice coffee.
Ice coffee, concentrate.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah.
You cannot drink that by itself.
No, you cannot.
And the thing is, though, but there's not.
but there's no instructions on the box to tell me what to do.
So I'm like, okay, I don't know, half coffee, half water or something, I drink this thing,
and the rest of the day, I'm just like, it's like one-third.
It's like one to two.
It might even be four-to-one.
It definitely wasn't one-to-one that I put in there.
All right, and we have one last segment, Dana.
The Coke or Pepsi challenge?
Is that too?
Challenge?
There is something called this.
Yeah.
Pepsi challenge.
So there's no Coke challenge.
About the Coke or Pepsi contest?
Is that a quiz?
It has to be a question.
That was a Pepsi thing.
Yes.
Yes.
That was a number two move.
That is.
You don't need to do that if you're number one.
Yeah.
Do you think we're better than the best soda?
Oh, no, it's really like, oh, what do you like better?
Well, Coke, I like Coke better.
Coke is the one that tastes better.
Oh, okay.
Well, here, tell me which one is Coke.
And they'll be like, oh, this is a good one right here.
This is the best one.
They're like, the reveal.
It's like, oh, you're drinking Pepsi.
Yep, yep, yeah.
And they're like, what?
Yeah, totally.
And then what?
Then they all just laugh at them, I think.
They're like, oh, I love Pepsi.
They're like, you take Pepsi.
All right.
So, unlike.
The taste test, I will, I'll say a celebrity's name and you tell me whether or not they endorse Coke or Pepsi.
Okay.
And so I check.
At any time in history or currently?
Has there been celebrities who endorsed both?
I looked.
I couldn't find any.
Like at different times.
I bet there haven't.
I was trying to find some.
I couldn't find any.
I bet their lawyers really like that.
Yeah.
They lock it down.
All right.
So we'll do this kind of differently.
We'll go around and you'll eat.
We each get a turn with a different celebrity.
Oh, all right.
Spotlight.
On the spot.
We can say if the other person is wrong, though.
Oh, yeah.
Well, it's 50-50.
It's going to be the other one.
No, we can guess.
We can place bets.
We'll get our dollars.
Yeah, you guys can heckle each other and add more pressure.
All right.
Yeah.
All right.
We'll start with, we'll start with Karen.
We'll start with Karen.
Done, done, done, don't, don't.
Beyonce Noles.

I agree.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I say Pepsi.
Coke.
Oh, you are South.
Yeah.
How about Colin? How about Ryan Seacrest?
Oh, okay.
Well, I know that Coke sponsored the show, but then he...
I'll say Coke.
Yes.
Because I know they were like an American Idol.
They were an American Idol sponsor.
Yeah, American Idol was Coke.
Yeah, it's Coke.
Okay.
Good reasoning.
Justin Timberlake, Karen.
It's got to be Coke.
No, it's Pepsi.
Oh, really?
I'm pretty sure.
I don't know.
I thought he liked saying a song for it, too.
Oh, maybe I'm wrong.
It's Pepsi.
Okay.
Wow.
Wow.
Pepsi has all the pop stars, except for Taylor said.
Chris, David Beckham.
they have Pepsi in the UK
I'll go with
whatever I'll go with
Coke
I'll say Coke as well
global global superstar
yeah
too expensive for Pepsi
Pepsi
not too expensive for Pepsi
we should get him to come on the show apparently
yeah Colin
Kanye West
oh Kanye Kanye
Kanye Kanye
I'll say
Coca-Cola.
No opinion?
What do you guys think?
Yeah, I'll say Coca-Cola.
Pepsi.
Now, is the answer to any of these
going to be R.C. Cola?
There are no tricks.
I thought about it. I was going to do Coke Pepsi
or milk, but everyone.
Okay, much overlap.
All right, last one. Karen.
Maroon 5.
Oh.
Well, I would say Adam Levina
Starbucks, because Starbucks is
sponsors the voice.
Interesting.
Man, I
I almost want to say Pepsi
because I feel like everything is Pepsi.
I can't.
Pepsi.
It is Coke.
So the rule of them, like mostly,
is that Coca-Cola does athletes and Pepsi does entertainers.
Huh.
But I pulled the ones where it was like a little bit fuzzy mostly.
Interesting.
Yeah, because I'm thinking,
about like celebrity like other than Taylor Swift I can't name a person who like a pop star who
does oh I see oh I see sure yeah because Michael Jackson did yeah Pepsi yeah Ray Charles did
Diet Pepsi yeah yeah yeah Nicky Minaage is Pepsi yeah Britney Spears was Pepsi oh okay um pink
was Pepsi they do like yeah like almost every year I can't think of yeah it's so weird I think
of Coke ads, and they're all very, not that celebrity heavy except for Taylor Swift.
I mean, because they have the world kind of, you know, peace and love kind of people.
I do associate Pepsi ads in general more with the celebrity endorsement, just broadly.
Cook does many, many athletes.
It's mostly athletes.
Yeah, like, well, I mean, the classic, right, the Mean Joe Green, right?
I didn't know.
Dating myself there.
