Good job on our Christmas pop quiz. That was pretty hard. A lot of people died. That was tough, it was tough, yeah, lots of murders. Really high body count on that quiz. I think that those were so good that we should make this entire episode all entirely Christmas and holiday themed quizzes. I'm so glad you said that because that's what I've prepared for.

That would be real tough if we hadn't done that. Add some holiday cheer, holiday quiz cheer to improv a quiz. It's real hard. At this point, I think you guys know I'm going to my wallet. I have. So Chris, what do you think we should name this episode? Well, I say since it's episode 170 in every fifth episode, we have an all-quiz show, then that would make this, our holiday-themed, spectacular, all-quiz,

Bo-ho-ho-ho-ho-honza. So everyone knows the best part of Christmas is the presents. True. It's not your family. It's not the food. That's not really It's about what do you get What's in it for you?

Specifically the receiving of Right Yeah I made a quiz for you guys It's about the best-selling toys Of the 90s So what was in it for Kids who were in the 90

Yeah what was the thing that you wanted That you probably didn't get Because your parents waited till Christmas Eve to buy it And it was already gone Yes Oh I don't think of this list I don't think I received any of these things.

Ten years of disappointment. Well, luckily I aged out of them halfway through, but yes. Too cool for school, I guess. But I don't think I would have gotten them anyway. Okay, so let's get going. You guys buzz in with the answer is we'll just go through 1990 to 1999. Wow. So that might help.

Okay, okay. Here we go. So this line of toys was based on a comic book. It was licensed to a toy maker And then they insisted that they make a cartoon about it In order to support their toys Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Yes

The first cartoon aired in 1987 Huh And they licensed the comic book to make toys Yes And they had to make the cartoon Yes Because they were like This is kind of a cult comic book

We're not going to sell these toys So they like worked really hard on designing It was a design project Designing a cartoon And then they made so many toys. Because the original Teenage Being Ninja Turtle is

It's a black and white independent comic book Kind of rough and it was like Toy Company was like We could do something with this And then they did Put a brain in a fat guy

And call it a villain So 1991 Toy of the Year It was developed under the name Project Mercury And it was first released In Japan actually In 1990

Colin Is that the Game Boy? No 1999 One, released. Toy of the year. In North America. In Japan, I'm named Project Mercury.

Yes. I feel like you should know this, too. Yeah. Well, there was Dolphid. There was... No, I was going to say Tomoguchi, but that's not. No, no, no, no. Made to compete with the Game Boy.

Uh-huh. Oh. Oh, of course. This Sega Game Gear. Sega Game Gear. Because that's why it was, like, scratching at my brain because Sega would name everything after planets. Like, and then sometimes...

You're right. Sometimes it stuck. Sometimes it stuck. like the sake of Saturn, right, and that was the toy of the year. Wow. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, they did really well. It was big. Sonic. 1992. Action figures for this line of toys include

Coco B-Ware, Ricky's steamboat, and the Ultimate Warrior. Chris. The WWF superstars. Yes. At the time. Yeah. They did really well, even though ones that had come out earlier were more lifelike and now they sell for more. Yeah. But the toys in the 90s got a little more cartoon.

Juni, and then they became a huge hit. Right, right. So this one, I was fascinated by 1993, the toy of the year. This was actually designed as a non-working prop in the 1992 movie Home Alone lost in New York. Oh, right. It was so cool that there was a letter writing campaign by the kids. And then the next year for Christmas, it was the toy of the year. Right, right.

It's the talk boy. Yes. Yes. What? So it's a little tape recorder with a microphone that sticks out, and you could record. yourself and then you could speed it up and sound higher or slow it down and in the movie he uses these features

oh it's just scary right right oh okay yeah I was thinking of like the or commit credit card fraud sure I mean did no no he checked into the hotel right didn't he like he sounded like a adult adult yeah yeah yeah

but kids were like I want one of the talk boy yeah okay 1994 these toys toys were based on a TV show that was based on a Japanese show called Japanese Super Synthi

Series. Mighty Morphan Power Rangers. All right. I'm waiting until you finish the question over here. I thought she was just going to name us facts until we got it. Oh, okay. Sorry.

So the toy of 1995, we've talked about before. It's funny, it was originated in Hawaii in the 1920s or 30s. Oh, well, Let me finish a little more. A little bit more.

Yeah, so it originated in Hawaii in the 20s or 30s. It came from bottle caps. There was a toy played with bottle caps. It was Colin? I'm pretty sure those are pods. Those are pods. So bitter. Yes.

We have protocol, people. Toy of the year 1996. This toy of the year, 1996. This toy. actually got its start on Rosie O'Donnell's popular U.S. TV show. It first showed up there and then became a huge-hit. Coochball. No.

No. Maybe six? 96. Was that the Tickle Me Elmo? It was Tickle Me Elmo. Oh, okay. Yeah. Wait, so that peered on the show and then it became like a big hit.

Yeah. I mean, it was already like Sesame Street. People already liked it, but then Rosie O'Donnell was hot at that moment. Once she blessed it, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So we've mentioned this toy. Toy of the Year, 1997.

It's a little video game. And it caused issues with kids taking them to school because they had to check in on them so frequently. Chris, please. That was the Tamagochi. The Tamaguchi. Genius story. Yeah, I had one. I had one.

Yeah. One died. Yeah. I remember going to FAAO sports that year, and they had a massive Tamagochi, like, area that they had a massive Tamagochi, like, area that they had carved out of the store with a huge. display, big, big, big store display and they were sold out. It was just like this huge section of the store that they devoted to it and they didn't have any. 20 bucks, 30 bucks? Really? Yeah, yeah. Oh, so it was like pretty cheap. That's reasonable. It was so hard to get that here. But for the size, I mean,

that's, you know. Yeah, I feel like that's, think about it's so ahead of its time. How many apps are there are about fake taking care of something? It's true. It's true. Like babysitting, babysitting games. It was a real, real smart idea. My sister had one. She loved it. She She likes the sims, though. She likes that kind of stuff. And I found it so stressful. I could have to handle. I was like, it's going to die.

I'm a horrible person. It's like I'm not allowed to have one of these. This is bad. Okay. Toy of the Year, 1998. This creature has its own language. It began its life with its own language. Oh, what's it called?

Furby. Furby. Furby speaking furbish. Mm-hmm. And that people still have them today. Again, so ahead of its time. Yeah. Yeah.

What, really? Well, I don't know. Well, like, AI. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, last one. 1999. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Even though it came out in 1996 originally,

1999 was the year it blew up in this country. And that's maybe a little hint. It's a game, it's an RPG game, so a role-playing game. And it focused on finding, capturing, and training creatures. Oh. Okay. Pokemon. Pokemon.

Yes, yes, Pokemon. That was Toy of the year. Toy of the year of 1999. Cool. How many of those gifts are great because it's just re-in-forward? Like, the Pokemon, it's all about the collecting and showing off and comparing with your friends.

Like, the social pressure is built in. It's like, you've got to have it. Yeah. Gotta catch them all. That's right. So, Dana, I have a question. Yes. You have now spent a couple of Christmases in Sweden.

Yeah. And I just read something nuts about Christmas traditions in Sweden. And I wanted to ask you if this is true in your experience. All right. The Swedish as a nation on Christmas, sit down and watch a marathon of Donald Duck cartoons. Yes. Yes. Kalianca.

It has a big deal. It's a big deal. You have to be home when it's on. Right. Like you're watching it live with everyone. With your whole family, you sit around this. TV and it's a it's a it's the same like marathon of Donald Duck cartoons it's the same every year it's the same it's like the variety not the variety show but like anthology anthology episode

one of those anthology it's set in the jungle or the forest or something um it's not that christmasy it seems to have no logical connection to the holiday season whatsoever if you point out that they're it's weird that they're watching it like they don't think it's weird at all They get upset. And then you're like, but everyone is watching it. It's Kali is just a guy's name. I think it means Charles or Carl.

It translates to something like that. And then Anka means duck in Swedish. Yeah. So it's like Charlie Duck or Kalyanka. Yeah. And it really is just like everybody. Everybody watches. Is it like aired on TV as specific time?

Oh, okay. Not like DVD that we're going to pop in. Oh, no, no, no, no. It's aired on. it's air on TV It's a big deal And the ratings are just You know, through the roof

Yeah Like what do we watch for Christmas Is it like It's a wonderful life? Yeah but we don't even really watch that I don't know I mean the marathons I feel like the marathons here in the States

It's there's the Thanksgiving Like there's like the Twilight Zone marathon Oh I didn't know Oh yeah Yeah in recent years They do the mystery science theater marathon I mean they do marathons Yeah

Marathons are a thing The weird I mean you know If there's anything weird about America, it's that like we will put on, certainly my family will put on, a Christmas story. Yeah, yeah. Ralphie. Yeah, I've seen that a lot of times. They do that for 24 hours.

Yeah. You just leave it on. But that's Christmas related. But you don't, it is highly. Yeah. But it's also like, it's not like everybody all gathers at the exact same time around the country. Right, right. It's not a communal experience.

You know, you're not. And it's not like, oh, we just, you know, we put it on and it's on in the background while we do things. It's literally everybody sits down and. pays close to dress up? No, not that I've seen, no. I'm being sensitive because I know the Swedish people I know who live in Sweden do listen to this podcast.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not saying that it's weird, it's just, like, fascinating that is caught on as a specifically holiday tradition. I'm not sure why they like Donald Duck so much. You're a sailor suit. Maybe that's part of that. Maybe they don't have, maybe.

That's pretty thin. If they don't have anyone that angry in Sweden. Oh, it's funny to see someone frustrated. Right, right, because they're all just, you know, normally just... Well, because we know in Europe, Donald Duck is far more popular than Mickey Mouse. Oh, is that? Yeah, Donald Duck has its own comics, like, growing up... Well, that could be part of it, right?

That's the random Donald Duck cartoon. Yeah. It's a Christmas tradition. Calli Ma'amca. Calli Maize from Indiana Jones in the Temple. Did I tell you guys this also about Sweden? They do a cool thing where you write a poem on your present, a bad poem about what it is or why you're giving it to the person.

And then they read it out before they open the present. Oh, and they open the present. Yeah. It's sort of ironic when they see the present. Badly written or like... It's like you kind of make a joke about it. A joke or you make a reference to what it is. You don't have to spend a lot of time thinking about it.

We would always a tradition. We would just like bad puns. So the reason why I know stuff about Sweden is because my fiancé is Swedish. And last year my mom did the poem thing but she translated all her poems into Swedish like with Google

and like her translations ended up being like naughty like Santa God naughty with with the reindeer like they were crying laughing That's awesome That's great

Santa did what? Yeah they're all like this translates to something different Oh, my word. Yes. Hello, this is Matt from the Explorers podcast. I want to invite you to join me on the voyages and journeys of the most famous explorers in the history of the world.

These are the thrilling and captivating stories of Magellan, Shackleton, Lewis, and Clark, and so many other famous and not so famous adventures from throughout history. So come give us a listen. We'd love to have you. Go to Explorespodcast.com or just look us up on your podcast app. That's the Explorers Podcast. All right, let's continue this all-quiz. Chris, you got a Christmas-themed quiz for us? I do. I do have a Christmas-themed quiz, and it comes

at the end of this Christmas-themed segment. So, okay, all right. I love doing good job, brain. One of my favorite things that I ever learn in the process of good-job-braining is... Good job-braining? The verb form, yeah.

Is the word mondagrine. The word mondagrine. And this is... A mondagrine is a misheard song lyric. E.G., we always say this. Jimmy Hendricks, excuse me while I kiss this guy. Yes. Instead of, excuse me while I kiss the sky.

There is a fact that you're a line of books, one of which is named, excuse me while I kiss this guy, about popularly misheard song lyrics. Right. And you probably, you might have special ones that you even remember from your childhood where you heard a song wrong. The classic one from my childhood was, you know, the song, Our Lips Are Sealed. It was Alex the Seal. Alex the Seal.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Right. So I love that they,

that misheard song lyrics have a great name, Mondagreen, which comes from, and we may have talked about this before. I just want to restate it. It comes from a Scottish song, an old Scottish ballad called the ballad of the Earl O'Morei, like the eel.

Yeah, it's just saying. And the lyrics in this song were, they have slain the Earl O'Moree. and laid him on the green. They put his body down on the grass. And there was a writer named Sylvia Wright, who, when she always heard this song as a child, what she heard was they have slain the Earl of Moree

and Lady Mondagreen. Thus, like, doubling the body count. Right, yeah, right? The Earl and the lady were both slain. Lady Mondagreen. So she coins the term a Mondagreen to mean a misheard song lyric. Nice. Now, when do we usually sing really old songs with obscure lyrics?

Christmas! Yay! That's when everybody gets together and sings a whole bunch of, like, many hundred-year-old songs, the lyrics to which they... Sometimes they know, and sometimes they don't. And so Holiday Mondagreens, in particular, are some of the most pervasive. I personally, as a child, I will admit this. Because I was thinking, I'm like, oh, yeah, I remember this happening to me.

I definitely, there was a period when I thought that Santa first, turned to Rudolph, you know, for his help on a froggy Christmas Eve. Then one froggy. Right, right. Yeah. The song Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer in particular is interesting because, as again, I think I've mentioned this before, but I really want to reiterate how cool this is. There is a holiday children's book slash movie that is called Olive, the other reindeer.

Yes. This is a... That sounds so sad. Its title is a Mondagrine by which... kids listen to Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer and they hear the line that Rudolph was called names

by all of the other reindeer and they think that it was just one, just jerk reindeer called Olive, Olive, the other reindeer. She's so mean. She's so mean. It's a call a name. That's really cute.

Yeah. And so you would actually you would actually love this because the movie, the book, the movie is about a dog whose name is Olive. And then she hears the song and Olive the other reindeer. She's just like, oh, that I must be the other reindeer.

Oh, my God. Yeah. It's too sad. Lots of misunderstandings. So the really cool thing that I love about this is that there's more characters in the book and movie whose names are Mondagreins. Oh, my God. So there's one character whose name is Round John Virgin from Silent Night when they talk about Round Jan Virgin, Mother and Child, Round John Virgin. That's great. And then there is a character, and I love this even more.

His name is Richard Stans. Oh, for Richard Stans. Yes, when kids recite the Pledge of Allegiance and to the Republic for Richard Stans. For Richard Stans. And then I went down to Wikihole, and then it got weird. Because, so I'm looking at the all of the other reindeer thing, and it's in Wikipedia says that the confusion comes from what is called the cot caught merger. Because there's a lot of, it's a linguistic thing.

Yeah, so the word caught as in like what you sleep on when you're in, you know, camping versus is caught, as in I caught a Pokemon. And this is when a dialect merges those two vowel sounds, so they become the same sound. Caught and caught become the same sound. I caught a Pokemon. I slept on a cot. Right. Right.

And I'm thinking to myself, like, you know, I slept on a cot and I caught a Pokemon, so it's different. And I look at the, and I look at the Wikipedia page for this, for the caught-caught-caught merger, and it says, where does this happen? It says, most of New England. Yeah. Where you're from? That's where I'm from. That's said except Rhode Island. I'm like, uh-huh. And it says the southern part of Connecticut. Wow. And I'm like, that's the part of Connecticut that I'm from. You escape. I did. I escape the. You're the exemption zone. Yeah. Caught and caught. Um, so anyway, this is all leading up to. I have a holiday mondagrine quiz for you guys. You have your pads and you have your pens. So you're all ready for this.

All right. I am going to read you. And a lot of this, um, A lot of these actually come from Snopes, which, in addition to all of its work on Urban Legends, has compiled a pretty good list over the years of holiday, of holiday Mondagreys specifically. It's a couple from other places. So I will give you, I'm not going to sing it because, you know, as the pony said as he started his speech, sorry, I'm a little hoarse. But I'm not going to sing songs, but I am going to read. I'm so mad right now.

But maybe I'll sing in one or two. I hear it. But maybe I'll sing one or two. And so I will give you the misheard version of the lyric, and you will tell me what the song actually says. All right. All right. Yes. So your first one is, the catalog glowing, the poor baby wakes.

This is from away in the manger. The catalog glowing, the poor baby wakes. wakes. The catalog glowing. The ball ring. Answers up, a guess. It's tough. Colin says the candlelight glowing.

Dana has just question marks. I don't know this. Karen, the cattle all going. It is the cattle are lowing. The cowling. That's a noise that the cattle makes. That's the noise that the cattle makes. Oh, it's tough.

Colin says gay apparel. Then it says gay apparel. Yes, Dom me now are gay apparel. Don't know a day of. What is the more day of? Our day of peril. Like, P-E-R-I-L? Like the zombie Christmas. Why are we celebrating this? Christmas murder mystery. But it's like Dawn.

D-A-W-N-R-A-W-N-R-A-W. Oh, right, right. I like it. From the song, the first Noel, Unforgettable final line, Barney's the King of Israel. Barney's, Bill and Burney's. Yeah.

Well, can you prove he's not? I mean, I challenge you. Yes. Oh, shoot. Barney is now. Barney's the king of Israel. All right, whatever you got. Oh, no.

Here. Okay, Colin says, born is the king of Israel. Yes, quite. Dana says, Born is the king. Carol says, but he's the king of Israel. Closer, closer. Yeah, closer. Yep, certainly not.

Barney. This one is tough. This next one is tough because I think a lot of people actually really do think that this line is the the actual thing. Yes. So from I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, she thought that I was locked up in my bedroom fast

asleep. She thought that I was locked up in my bedroom fast asleep. I will tell you this. The word is not locked. She did not lock the child in his bedroom. But what was he up in his bedroom fast asleep? She thought that I was locked

up in my bedroom fast asleep. It is not locked. All right. Oh, no, it doesn't even, I was going to say, I thought that I was sleeping in my bedroom fast asleep. But that makes no sense. Karen has lulled, Colin has sleeping, and Dana has tucked, it is tucked. It is tucked. Tucked.

Tucked. I got that I was tucked up in my day. A lot of people sing locked, apparently. Maybe they don't know the word tucked. Indeed, indeed. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, of course, the classic Frosty, the Snowman. and Frosty comes to life

And then the kids sing Down to the village With a broom stuck in his head Oh shoot Every time you sing it It sounds real That sounds right With a broom stuck in his head

It's gone I know I didn't expect that by singing it I would actually supplant the original in your minds And so now that's all you can think of. All righty, Colin says with a broomstick in his hand. Karen says with a grin stuck in his head. And Dana says a broomstick in his hand.

Yeah, broom stuck in his hand. With a broom stuck in his hand. It is with a broom stick in his head. When I saw Colin, I was like, yes. I'm stuck in his head. Sure, he'll use a snowman. He'll go right through. Yeah, he's fine.

He has a carrot in his head. It's a bunch of stuff in his head. So the song, Santa Claus is coming to town. Yeah. Santa Claus comes to town and they sing that the kids are going to have a jubilee. They're going to build a toilet town all around the Christmas tree. Oh, my God. A toilet.

You are suggesting. It is not the word toilet. I'm just telling you that right now. They're going to build a toilet town All around the Christmas trip The word nobody got it Karen says I like it Colin says toy little town

Dana says Toy something I'm sending you guys back on this one It's a word It is a word from a popular old Christmas movie It appeared in the title of a very popular Very famous old Christmas movie Okay

The line please again They're going to build a toilet town all around the Christmas tree. And the word itself, the word itself, it starts with a syllable toy, but it is not toilet. Anybody want to throw it out there? It's Toyland. They're going to go look to Toyland Town. Babes in Toiland Town is what I was trying to get at. Toyland Town.

Yeah, it's tough. Toyland Town. This is redundant. Shake it out. Shake out the cobblets. Here we go. All right. 10 lawyers leaving

Man No I don't know what's Ten lawyers leaving Karen says Lords a leap in Collins says Lord's a leapin My wife in the other room

Has written down Lord's a leaping And Dana has written down Yes ten lords a leaping Ten lawyers leaving Are they gone yet? All right It's going pretty good here

All right You guys are doing good In the meta we can build a snowman, then pretend that he is parched and brown. Then pretend that he is parched and brown. They set him on fire. I don't know. All right. Dana says Parson Brown.

Colin says Parson Brown. Karen says question mark. Regina in the other room says Parson Brown. Yes, Parson Brown is a... What does that mean? Parsons is a minister. Yeah. We're going to pretend that he's the minister from the village and he's going to get married us.

No, his last name is Brown. Like Mr. Brown. Right, right. Parson Brown. Parson Brown. He'll say, he'll say, are you married? You know.

Is he a, is Parson Brown a famous person? No. No, it's just to be like, like, Main Street. Like, Carson Brown. Right, right, yeah. Parched and Brown. Partched and Brown. We're screaming, screaming towards the end here.

All right. One more for you guys. One more for you guys. From the song. Winter Wonderland. Okay. Right? Yes.

Walking in. Right, indeed. And who could forget the classic lyric. Later on, milk and spiders, as we dream by the fire. Milk and spiders. Later on, milk and spiders. I like that. As we dream by the fire.

You know, again, there's some Christmas traditions out there that. I would let my kid continue to see that. The land of milk and spiders. Exactly. Yes, yes, yes. All right, answers up. Colin says, making cider. Dana says, Will conspire.

Karen just has milk and spiders. Regina has will conspire. It is indeed Wilkinspire. Not making cider. Or spiders. I like milk and spiders. Milk and spiders. So evocative.

Milk and or milking spiders. You can't milk spiders. You could milk spiders if you want to, but I wouldn't recommend it. you leave for Santa Monk and Spiders Yeah, that's awesome seen those videos of the daddy long legs

A couple of episodes ago, I debuted a quiz where I put you guys on a timer. And the awesome part was listeners, if you have a pen and paper right now you are invited to play and I know a lot of people play

the last time we did this I am going to put you guys on a timer you guys each have a pen and a pad of paper and I need you to name as many as blank what I'm going to give you a category in 30 seconds

however whatever you write down if it's in common with the other people that doesn't count it's like boggle rules Like, Bogle rules. So, you know, if I, you know, as an example, last time I was like, name as many Harry Potter characters in 20 seconds. If everybody puts Ron Weasley, then they all don't count. Nobody gets the point.

I think our learnings from last time I did this is 20 seconds might be not enough time. It seems like in my head it was a lot of time, but we're going to bump this up from 20 seconds to 30 seconds. Do we have to do first name last name? So that was, I need to clarify this as well. because there was a little bit of contention in our Star Wars in our Star Wars segment and Game of Thrones as well

Yeah so I will say If you need to know full, if you need to denote Full Name Last Name or Just Name or Moniker Hope you guys are ready Listeners I hope you guys are ready Now when we're writing these down Who needs to be able to read them

Yeah initials those days Just us or us and you What if I think about writing it down You, so you need... You need to write down the full name. So who needs to be able to read it? Me or you? Oh, you.

Yeah. I think we should give... So Karen can't read it doesn't count. I think, and I think we should give her full discretion to just... As to whether something is readable or not. Yeah. Yep. Okay.

All right, here we go. Well, I'm going to put 30... Oh, this says 30 minutes. That's not right. No, that would be a long episode. Here we go. I need first names. Okay.

Oh, just first names. Just first names. Okay. Okay. As many characters as you can name from the TV show, Friends. Go. Friends. It's been on the air for a very long time.

Don't forget. Repeats. We'll cancel out. And we're halfway there. What was his name? What was his name? Ten, nine. I'll write them down

And time's up Beep, beep, beep, beep What was the name of the guy in the coffee shop, dang it? Gunther? Yes, Gunther, I couldn't think of Gunther, couldn't put it together So Chris, you put... Chandler, got it Monica, Phoebe, Rachel,

So yes? No, I got it. I did Emily, the girl he dated from me. Gotcha. Okay. So, Dina, who was one of Joey's sisters. Sisters. Yes. All right. So the ones that I did. Marcel. The monkey. The monkey. And Emily. Nice. Who Ross dated. Yeah. I have Priscilla. Who'd have?

I don't know. I was just hoping it was a kid. I was just taking a guess. I knew, I knew, I knew Phoebe had a twin sister. That might be, oh, Ursula. That's probably who I was thinking of. Okay. So, yeah.

Yeah. I don't know. Just throw something down. Because I knew, I mean, I had to write the other friends. Yeah. That's it. That's it. I didn't watch the show.

I really, I, I, I, the guy in the coffee shop was my only hope. You wrote down more names, but you've crossed them out. No, all I wrote down was the six friends and Priscilla. Oh, yeah. Yeah. My one hope was the guy at Gunther. Janice, two for Chris, two for Dana. Okay, cool.

I'm impressed I got all six. I'll be honest with you. All right, well, this is going to be all so tough for you, Colin. I'm going to start the timer at 30 seconds. Please name. First name only, or moniker, as many Pokemon's as you can. 30 seconds go. Pokemon, human characters are okay.

I didn't watch this. Come up with some, make up some cute names. I reached the bottom of my barrel pretty quickly here. All the parents and all the kids are like, yeah. All right. Five seconds. Wow. And times up.

All right. All right. You know what? Call them while you go. All right. I got Pikachu. Got it. Okay.

I wrote, is Ash? Is Ash the, the, yeah? Yes. Okay. He's a character. I wrote Ash. Wow. Oh, wait.

Okay, I thought you meant like Pokemon. She said humans too. She did. She said, who, all right. I'm just going to leave now. I'm going to leave on top. Yeah. I wrote Charzard.

Yes. Yeah. Charzard. Okay. Okay, but Chris has it anyway. Yeah, yeah. All right. I just crossed it.

Snorlax. Wow. That's a Pokemon. That's a Pokemon. Don't have it. I mean, I only knew Pikachu, honestly. I made up some names. Yeah.

And then I just made up one in case. I did a wingly, dinkly. Yeah. I was just hoping. Maybe, there are a lot of Pokemon. There could be a wingly dingley. Yeah, I'm going to go, no. That's like if Monty Python were in charge.

I'm very impressed. So that is what? I got ash and snorlax. That's two points. Great. Wow. Great. Dana.

Okay. So I did have Pikachu. Bwop. Is that a name? Roxie. Justin. Jason. Mark

Oh my God, you're close What else do you have? Puder And Rebecca She's just playing the odds I may have broken away from the pack So let's see I did have Pikachu and Charzar

Which I crossed out Then I had Blastoise Charmander Charmilian Squirtle, Pichu Squirtle is so close to pooter That's the one you're going to fight for That's the one

So close, that's what I meant Puzzle and Minen Or the two Pokemon with pluses and minuses I know my Pokemon's Togepie And Ivy Soar One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine You know, my God

My mascara is this running so you were close because James and Jesse are a team rocket and you had the J-names I know if you said James he had gotten one I knew there was a boy okay

so with Pokemon behind this Dana and Colin each have two and I have 11 friends Pokemon are gonna close it out with Fleetwood Mac and Connecticut heroes yeah Connecticut

yeah me with many Connecticut heroes 30 seconds on the clock. Name me as many. It can be full names or it can be moniker. Okay. Here we go. X-Men.

Villains count. So I'm saying people who are X-Men and people who are villains in the X-Men universe. You can either use their real name or their moniker. Probably shorter if you use their moniker. And three, two, one. Time's up. All right. Dana, why don't you start?

Wolverine. Oh, okay. Yeah, no, I have. Yeah, yeah, you have to say. Storm? Yes. Magneto. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Storm Wolverine and Magneto crossed out. Mystique, I do not have. Wow. Jubilee? Nope. Yes, I have Jubilee. Cyclops.

Yes. And Bolivar Trask. Wow. Sure. And you got full name. Yeah. Yeah. How many points is that?

That's four. So are you going to do Jim and the hologram characters now? Yeah, that's true. I think you will. Jim. Kimber, Asia. That's right. Okay, definitely don't do that because Dana will rock it.

Possess. Oh, man. Okay, all right. All right. All right. Here's a more general one, not biased towards anyone. Actually, it's anti-someone on this table. 30 seconds on the clock.

Name me any. Robots, not from the Star Wars universe, can be from TV, can be from literature, can be movies. Okay. Do any robots? Androids can't. Okay. Can be from literature? It doesn't have to be a humanoid robot.

Okay. It can be from cartoons. It's art. hard. Three, two, one. Time's up. I know if we said Star Wars, you would just list all, like, R2G1.

Yeah, yeah. Robot's not from Star Wars a little harder. That was, yeah. I only got five on my list total. All right. Chris, why don't you go? Are Daleks a robot from Dr. Who? No, because there are aliens.

Okay. Crossed out. Rob, the robotic operating buddy from Nintendo's Super Smash Bros. That technically is a robot. Jinks from the Incredible Movie Space Camp. Whoa. We did talk about that.

We did. We did. And then I said the one from Muppets. Which I understand if you don't want to do that. No. No. K-9? Yes.

Data. I have Commander Data. Okay. He's an Android. Yeah, yeah. And he's a ranking officer. So this came to my mind. It's Tequodos.

It's from my Spanish language learning book when I was in second grade. He was a robot who speaks Spanish. His name is TQ2, Tequados. I didn't make that up. Yeah, I'm not going to be the one who says you can't have it. I know. I was like so specific. Sure.

It was a robot. Wally. I have Wally. Oh. I put Inspector Gadget. I don't know. He's a human. He's a human.

Bionic being. Yeah. He has, like, enhanced human. Yeah. So too. Okay, so not kind of the ones that have been canceled out. I have Twiki from Buck Rogers. Sure. I have Bender.

Oh, yes. Oh, man. And it shows you how slow my mind works. I just wrote hedonism bot because I was stuck in Futurama land. Oh, yeah. Tweaky, Bender, and hedonism bot. You could have, I know. Like so.

Time was up as soon as, yeah. Yeah. It's only 30 seconds. Radiator. All right. So that is. I'm trying to think of the name of the robot from Short Circuit. Two points.

Johnny five? Yes. Okay, last one. Going into the last round. Is this one biased for me? Do I get a round? I think, you know what? I think you might get an extra, extra boost.

We'll see. All right. Last one. At 30 seconds o'clock, I need titles of shows, miniseries, or specific films from HBO. This is HBO produced. Okay. Especially, shows, miniseries, or HBO film. I can start with some of our favorites.

I probably will cancel out. I can think of back. Some of the miniseries. Documentaries. Three, two, one. Time is a. All right. Last one. Okay. Make it count. Colin, while you go first.

I think we're going to have a lot of overlap here. So, The Sopranos. Gone. The Wire. Gone. Oz. Did not put that. That's good. Yeah. Sex in the City.

That's good. Oh, okay. Carnival. Good. Okay. Big Love. Good. Oh, yeah. Uh-oh. Veepe.

Got it. Girls. Nope, good. Okay. And John from Cincinnati. Cincinnati. No, any takers on that one? All right. Wow. Wow. Uh-oh. That's a big move. It's a big move. Well, I put Game of Thrones. Good. Really? No one else put Game with Thrones. Sweet. Okay. Behind the candelabra, which was the movie about Liberace. Nice. And a little known HBO show that a lot of you guys probably should watch if you have not seen it. It's called Brain Games. Not National Geographic Channel Brain Games. Two words. Brain Games. One word. Series on HBO.

from the 80s with puzzles and logic puzzles and stuff. Yes, confirmed. And folks, that show is amazing. You know what? They have HBO's children's programming is also really good and really fun. Yeah. I have Flight of the Concord's Tramay, True Blood. Okay.

And the final score is, thanks to Pokemon, I win with 17 points. only thanks to... And the built-in clustering in Pokemon. Oh, indeed. Yeah. Oh, quite. I was just shocked you got one of the ones

that you got Charzard, you know, because they've written down all of them. Snorlax, like, I'm surprised you've heard of Snorlax, not being a... No one is more surprised than me. Yeah, yeah. I'm just kidding. It's just got out. Oh, my God.

Good job, guys. Woo! So the other part of the strategy is trying to pick things that you don't think other... Yeah. Well, or also trying to cancel out things, though. people are going to put like for friends it's really important that we all list all the friends yes or or however you could also not list all the friends thinking that i'm thinking that you know

you're going to list them all you're going to cancel each other out anyway yeah but then if we all think that way then nobody's going to list it right yeah yeah yeah but i mean yeah sex in the city sex in the city sopranos to me are the biggest probably HBO shows and and no one else but my only strategy i just assumed that game of thrones was going to be off the table so i just went i started I tried to think back 10, 15 years and come more recent. Yeah. I know what sex in the city is. I didn't know what sex in the city is. I didn't know it was HBO.

Oh. Oh. Interesting. All right. Good job, you guys. No, yeah. And we got one last quiz. In keeping with the holiday theme, I have invited our old friend Elvis to join us.

Yay. The electronic, lyrical vocalization interface system, our soulless, sense of musicless robot voice from the 1980s is here. He will be speaking opening lines from songs to you guys. And this is the holiday episode. So this will be the non-traditional end-of-year holiday version of Elvis. All right. So which is just my long-winded way of saying these are not all Christmas. Oh, okay. I was trying to forget.

I was like, oh, is it like modern Christmas? Not everyone celebrates Christmas. So it's like Jingle Rock is not really a carol, but it's Christmas Eve. But they're not all Christmas songs. Okay. They might be Hanukkah. Yeah, it's a little mix. And as I say, I want to emphasize non-traditional, non-traditional.

Some of these may be in the running, maybe becoming classics. I will play the first line of the song. These are short. Get your buzzers ready. You guys buzz in. Tell me who's the artist for all of these. The artist. And if you want to show off and give me extra knowledge about the song, you can.

Here we go. What holiday song is this? The moon is right. The spirit's up. We're here tonight. And that's enough. Chris. Okay, A, you're a jerk.

B, this is Paul McCartney's Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas time. Correct on both counts. Yay! Wait, why is he a jerk? Because this is, because now it's stuck in my head for the next 24 hours. It's the worst Christmas song. Yeah.

Is it a bad song? No! No! Oh, is that song? That's that song. That's not a carol? No, that is Paul McCartney. Technically Paul McCartney and wings.

Yes. It's an earworm. It's it in the Disneyland parade. That's great. I just saw a headline just three days ago, I think, that the Shins, you guys know the band, the Shins, their version of this song, this year, dethroned Mariah Carey as the most played Christmas song in retail establishments. Wow. Yeah.

It had been, you know, the Mariah Carey, like, all I want for Christmas. Yeah. That has been raining since what, like, in 1996 or something. I guess as Americans, we were just ready for something. Different. Old and new. Yeah. All right.

Next track. Who is the artist of this non-traditional holiday song? Last Christmas, I gave you my heart. But the very next. Next day, you gave it away. That's so sad. Everyone together. George.

Wham? Last Christmas? Some dispute? Who wants to say definitively? Who is it? Wham! It is Wham! Last Christmas.

All right. Next track. What is this one? And we'll excuse Elvis's pronunciation. Who is this artist? Put on your yarmulka. Here comes Hanukkah. So much funica to celebrate.

I think everyone had that. Adam Sandler. Adam Sandler. The Hanukkah song. Yes, yes, the Yarmulka. You could have tweaked that a little, but I don't think that's the spirit of us. I know, yeah, yeah. All right, we're getting a little bit trickier here, moving up.

All right, next one. So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over, and a new one just begun. Chris. This is John Lennon. This is Christmas. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Is it John Lennon or is it the plastic Ono band? It is John and Yoko. Oh, okay. So, yes, John Lennon with Yoko Ono, yes. That is, you know, do you know the full proper name of the song? Oh, yes. Yes, yes, I do.

It's Merry Christmas, parentheses, war is over. Oh, yeah. So close. It's Happy Christmas. Yes, War is over. It is very British. That's right. Happy Christmas, parentheses, war is over.

All right, next track. I would say this one is on its way to becoming a new classic. Oh, sure. It was December 24th on Hollis Ave after dark when I seen a man chilling with his dog at the park. Chris. Run DMC. Yes. Christmas in Hollis.

Yes. Wow. Featured prominently in the movie Die Hard. An oldy bit of goody. All right. All right, we're testing your knowledge here, guys. Again, I think this one has become maybe a modern classic, but very non-traditional.

Who is this original artist? It was Christmas Eve, babe. In the drunk tank, an old man said to me, won't see another one. Little dark, little dark. Yeah, Chris. Technically, that is, the Pogues with Kirstie McCall, fairy tale of New York.

100% correct, the Pogues, right? Who else is going to have a Christmas song that starts off in the drunk tank? And I'll tell you, I actually. heard a bit of trivia about Shane McGowan what he got for Christmas this year, which is a new set of teeth. Shane McGowan has received

a full set of permanent dental implants and looks about 50 years younger. Not for Christmas. It is a long, lengthy process of many, many, many dent disappointments. The lead singer of the

Pogues, who basically lost all of his teeth due to some hard, hard, hard, hard living for a long time. But he has teeth now. That's a Christmas miracle. Things you can get with money. All right. Last one.

This will either be the most difficult or the easiest. This is a three-parter. You're going to tell me this is from a TV show. Whoa. So I need the name of the TV show. I need the name of the character. And for the third bonus point, who is voicing this character?

Okay. All right. TV show character, voice of the character. TV show, character, voice of the character, non-traditional holiday song. There's seven basic principles that go to make a Kwanza. So sit your asses down and have some knowledge dropped upon you. Karen, instantly.

That is from the character Kwanza bot. Correct. From the show Futurama. Correct. Voiced by Kulio. Correct. Wow. You could have written my own Kwanza bot.

I know, yeah. I didn't want to tip my hand and write down Kwanzabat early. Yes, Kwanzaabat explaining to the crew. What Kwanza is. Some big points there. Yeah, all right, Karen. The only Christmas stuff I know is from a cartoon.

That's why I said. It's either going to be the most difficult or the easiest, and Karen is all over it. All right, good job, guys. Elvis is proud of you. You know your non-traditional. You know your Christmas slash Kwanza slash Hanukkah songs. All right.

And that is the end. of our holiday Bo-ho-ho-ho-nanza. Bo-ho-ho-ho-nanza. I don't know how many hoes. I think it's three. I think Bo-ho should be count as one of the ho. So Bo-ho-ho-nanzza.

Bo-ho-ho-ha. Because two is a pastry. Right. Two is a pastry. Yeah. Oh-ho-ho's. And the bow and the bow should be first. Yeah. Because if you say Bo-ho-ho-ho.

Right. Yeah. Yeah. Oh-ho-nanzah just sounds like it's bohemian. Yeah. Yeah. Bo-ho-in-so. Yeah.

That's right. So remember, Bose before hoes. Bo ho-ho-ho. Well, I hope our episode gave you some holiday cheer. Hope you guys had fun. Thank you guys for joining me. And thank you guys, listeners, for listening in. And we'll see you guys next year.

Yeah. Yeah. Oh, weird. Whoa. Squirtle is so close to pooter Both other words for farts I see how he sucked Scooter and squirtle

Squirtle I'd rather do a pooter than to see a I think of her pooter is Rebecca Reputer J.
