You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
Hello, Nito, never nervous, nerdy, noots and narwhals, needing nonstop nitpicking.
Welcome to Good Job, Rain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.
This is episode 172, and I'm your humble host, Karen.
We are your crew of spunky, spoofing spurters of specifications and sporadically sphincters.
Oh.
That's submitted by listener Jordan.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I'm Colin.
It's just us two.
It's just us too.
It's a catch-up episode.
Yeah.
The other two, they couldn't catch up, so they're not here to.
It's not our usual full topic episode, but we got a lot of stuff.
We're going to be back with your regular good job brain programming soon, but today
is our catch-up episode filled with listener shoutouts, mailbag, and some weird facts
and trivia we stumbled upon, and even a listener challenge.
Oh.
Well, even though this isn't our full usual episode, I do have one pop quiz hot shot question
for you.
All right.
I hope I win this one.
And you know why, I have two.
Okay.
Should I go through the charade of getting out my buzzer?
And these two, okay, so one of them actually showed up.
pub trivia uh when i was traveling i actually went to pub trivia when i when i traveled it was
awesome i didn't win but that's okay you need to stay what you went by yourself no i went with a runner
friend okay my runner friend james all right it was just us too you got to stay sharp on you're on the
yeah exactly um and and so that's something i i try to do now like when i do travel for races or
anything like if it's on a weekday i'll try to i'll try to i'll try to go to a local pub quiz
yeah yeah last time i was in connecticut when i was in hartford i went out with a couple
listeners, they invite me. And this time I was in Orlando and felt really, really dumb for not
getting this question. Okay. All right. All right. Lay it on me. Okay. So the presidents on Mount
Rushmore, which two served in the same century. Oh, right. I saw, I saw you had posted this on
Twitter, actually. Sorry, sorry, sorry. Let me get my buzzer, though, so we can go through this.
But it's just you. Oh, you want to make it official.
Paul. All right. So we've got,
just to recap,
the four choices, right? We've got Washington,
Jefferson, Roosevelt, and Lincoln.
Yes. Right. So it's which two
served in the same century.
So that is
Jefferson and Lincoln.
Yes. The thing is, when you go in,
you're thinking there are two pairs that you know are close.
So you know Washington and Jefferson are close.
Right, right. And you know the other two
are also close.
Right, right, right.
But there are, like, the tail ends of...
That is a tricky one, yeah.
Of the 100 years.
And, man, and seriously, like, we were there.
We wrote down pretty much the years.
And we're like, ah, but we're not sure,
because, like, Jefferson was, like, on the cusp, you know,
was he, like...
17-99?
Right, right.
It turns out 1801 is when he first assumed office.
We also had the other years for the other two,
and we're like, okay,
well, we know Gettysburg Address, and we know Lincoln's turn.
Right.
And we're like, oh, Roosevelt.
We had the ears.
We just didn't see past the two pairs.
Yeah, that's so funny.
That is a good, tricky one.
I like that.
Yeah.
Okay.
Good job.
All right.
For following our Twitter feed.
You would have figured it.
I like to think I would have figured it out.
Just the blinders when you think so, like.
Yeah, because I know what you mean.
Like, you mentally, you think like, all right, well, Washington and Jefferson.
They're going to be, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
final question all right
Adele
she's a singer
what is her last name
oh god you know I was
this is one of those like I was putting together
a quiz in fact of like first name
you know one name singers
it's it's con like in one eye
and out the other eye
it's I seem to remember
it was something fairly
fairly caught like Harris or Atkins
or something oh my god
am I close
adkins okay all right
ADK IA okay all right so that was
in there it was in the brain somewhere
wow yeah yeah it's a good
it's a good true like you know we give you the last name
you tell me who has the first name oh
that be a good quiz
who else would be all that quiz up oh you like
Hanson Nelson you have to say Prince
oh got it got it yeah yeah what's
Beck's last name
Hanson right yeah
oh
Oh, hey.
Yeah, I think we're, hey, we're halfway to a quiz right here.
We'll spring it on Chris and Dana.
Surprise.
All right, well, I have a quick animal science news headline here that I wanted to share with you.
This one I found was really fascinating.
I was reading this in The Guardian just last week.
But I think the story was picked up by a lot of science wire services.
So scientists think they have found the first example of an odorless animal, or a
at least an odorless vertebrate, you know, so, you know, there may be some
odorless, yeah, or slugs or something maybe.
Yeah, so this is interesting.
It's a snake, a puff adder, and they've discovered that the puff adder apparently can
go into a state where it has no detectable odor, no scent.
And I was thinking about this, and I was like, huh, I never thought about that before.
I never thought other snakes smelled.
Oh, I guess they trace amounts.
So, you know, the scientists, you know, who have sort of come across this discovery are saying that, you know, virtually every animal that they know of emits some level of scent, you know, like you can train a dog or, you know, an animal that's really a sense of dissent to key on that.
But they can't do it with puff adders.
They can't. Oh, they can't detect it.
And so how they found this is really fascinating.
So this is in Johannesburg and South Africa.
And there are researchers at the university at Whitwater's ranch.
who are studying puff adders for totally unrelated reasons, right?
And they have little, like, radio trackers in the puff adders so they can see where they're going.
Well, hold on.
Why are they called puff?
Do they puff up?
They do puff up.
They are an attacking, you know, venomous snake.
Okay, so it's not just because it's cute.
It's not, no, it's not because they're cute.
It's like, oh, puff, it was like a little puff ball.
But so this is not related to the discovery.
So the researchers were tracking the puff ass.
the snakes, for unrelated purposes, and they noticed that sometimes the snakes were getting
off the property. They were tracking them to an area where there were some dogs. So they were
like, all right, we've got to go get the snakes. So they would go back over to retrieve the
snakes, and the dogs would come over, kind of just bounding over like, hey, what's going on,
Mr. Scientist? You know, hey, this is a scientist. And totally ignoring the snakes. And they're
like, well, this is weird. The dogs, you know, normally dogs are pretty good about detecting other
animals in general, and they're like, this is really strange that they can't sense the snakes
at all.
If they don't see it.
If they don't see them, right.
And that's part of the, and that's also part of what goes into this is that the puff adders,
they hide.
So they're like, they're ambush hunters.
So they got interested enough in being scientists, they started studying the snakes,
and they found out that they could not train, they could not train dogs.
They also tried training mere cats, which I guess are quite adept at scent detection.
and scent training, they cannot smell the puff adders in a controlled experiment.
They can't find them any better than random.
So they've never seen this behavior before.
They call it chemical cryptis.
Oh.
So cryptis is sort of the blanket term for any behavior that's about evading detection.
So what they think is the puff adder, their working theory is one of two things, is that either the snake can lower its
metabolism and its body temperature
so far that it doesn't
give off any kind of volatile
organic compounds. Got it. Like nothing
emits. It doesn't emit anything.
Right. Right.
So, you know, that's one possibility.
The other possibility is that
you know, maybe they do emit
these compounds, but they're so
heavy relative in the air that they don't
waft up. They don't rise up.
They don't know. So they're looking into that.
Yeah, because if you put that snake somewhere else
with different, say, like air
components, it might be a different thing. Right, right, right. One thing they did rule out, though,
is that it's not like emitting a false scent detector, right? So one theory was, well, maybe if it's
in a room that smells like flowers, it makes itself smell like flowers, you know, kind of like a
chameleon. They ruled that out pretty quickly. So to be determined what it is, but they haven't found
any other example of this and any other vertebrate of an animal that has no smell. And they
interviewed a lot of other scientists and they all kind of agree like yeah if you if you can't train
dogs to scent for this animal there's probably nothing that can smell this brings up another question
and i'm looking at a best sense of smell in the animal kingdom there seems to be i mean different
different smells for different things like so dogs you can train them for a single to track a single
scent yeah i don't know i'm getting conflicting like so people say moths are really have really
strong sense of smell but only for their mate right uh shark
for different types of protein
So it's hard to pinpoint
Like who has the best smell
But yeah well I think it's probably a combination of best sense of smell
And can be worked with under laboratory conditions
You know, I don't know how
I got a shark and a snake in the same room
Yeah
Will the shark find the snake
Johnson you take these moths
Smith you take these sharks
Yeah
Can I help with the moths?
So yeah
If you want to evade detection
You know like just cover yourself and puff adders
I think is the lesson, that's my takeaway from this.
If I'm on the run from Bloodhounds is just a puff adder suit.
Venomous.
Yeah.
Venomous puff adders.
Yeah, this dumbest criminal we've ever seen, he died from 300, 300 simultaneous puff adder bites.
Took us 10 years to find him, though.
Yeah, dogs couldn't smell him.
Oh, man.
Oh, so I mentioned I spent the last.
couple weeks, traveling, doing racing, ping-ponging between Disney World and Florida and Disneyland
in Anaheim for a total of six races.
They're not very close to each other either.
Cross-country.
You know, I run in costumes.
People know that.
I have to say, my biggest and most touching surprise.
I mean, people do recognize me because I'm in costume.
I'm like, oh, I've seen you before.
But the biggest surprise to me is the alarming amount.
of listeners I met who recognized me just on this past trip on these past two trips it's
the good job rate army is growing it's an audio show you know I'm sure like through social media
you guys kind of know what we look like but like it's still like I'm I'm so humble and I'm so
touched it's super cool and I just want to give a shout out to the listeners I met I try to remember
everyone's names on the fly sometimes this was at like 3 a.m. 4 a.m. so I apologize if I if I
flub your name, but I think I got everybody.
Chelsea and Jeff, who
said hi to me at the 5K.
There's like tens of thousands
of people, and they
found me. And
Suzanne, who was in my race
corral. She's like, oh, my family
list. I was like, this is so nuts.
And hello,
Suzanne's family, and also to
Gem, who was running the
marathon. I finished, and then
I was cheering for the
other runners towards the
end and she was running while she was running she was in a tweedledee costume she like stopped and like
said hi to me you know during the race which i thought that was really cool um and how did the holograms do
did they finish sorry yeah can you name the other holograms oh no not at what uh i'll take us to
dazzle is one of them named dazzle i actually don't know i know asia's dana would know dana would have
this cold yeah i'm just going to assume i'm wrong please don't write in to tell me i'm wrong
Caroline and Eric, who is a cast member at Magic Kingdom.
What cast, what does he play?
Is he allowed to say?
Oh, no, he's like a supervisor.
Very, very cool.
I saw him, like, work on his job,
telling people to not, like, stand on the thing.
I was like, oh, I was still official.
That's, that's the pinnacle of achievement.
It's like, you can tell someone not to stand on the thing.
Yeah, I was like, wow.
Yeah.
I bumped into a Lisa in Anaheim, who was across the street and yelled at me
and told me to get some honey for my throat.
It took me a couple tries to figure out what she was saying.
Man, it was so cool.
Guys, it's so cool.
I love it when listeners say hi.
And I like getting to know you guys, too.
Like, I want to know, like, what your story is and, you know, how you listen to the show.
And, you know, I actually have become really good friends with some of our listeners who approach me, like my mouse adventure teammates.
And all, all you listeners, if you do spot us in the wild, tag us.
Catch and release, please.
Catch them all.
Yeah, catch them all.
release them all. No, it is. It's rewarding to see to remember that we're not just
talking out into the void here on these microphones. Yeah, exactly. Not just our moms. I know
I'm a, I'm a freaking old trivia nerd because my whole time in Disney World, I didn't even
ride rides. You know, I barely rode rides. I just, I booked myself tours, like educational
tours. It's my new thing. You've been there so many times, right? I mean.
But it's like, what can I learn, you know? Oh, I can pay somebody to tell me
trivia about you know for like two hours you're moving into the retiree phase of your
disney line sign me up i'm no regrets it's i love i love the tours there um they have like
such good educational programs and what's the coolest fact you learned on this trip okay so
i signed up for two tours um epcot at epcot which is the in disney world it's the futuristic
educational park yeah yeah um i signed up for the dolphin discovery encounter tour okay and then i
signed up for their futuristic greenhouse tour called Behind the Seeds.
Or behind the seeds.
Got it.
Yeah.
And where they grow plants in non-conventional ways.
It's,
both are super cool.
So the Seeds Tour, they have a futuristic greenhouse and their whole model is not
to use soil because they can control everything.
So they can grow some crazy stuff.
Like just straight in water and things like that.
So there's like hydroponics, grown water, sand.
Okay.
You know when you have like pumpkins and squash.
They kind of grow viny on the ground.
They grow up on trellises, and the gourd hangs in the air.
So they won't get bruised by the ground.
It's easier to, like, cook them up.
They have Mickey cucumbers there where when you slice a cucumber, it's Mickey shape.
Basically, they do a lot of these Mickey things where they just, as the fruit is growing,
they put it in like a plastic bolt.
They micify it.
Yeah, they micify it.
You know, the vines, they would lead them to grow into a big Mickey.
So there was a peppercorn plant
I guess it's three circles
If you can get something into
Yeah
It's not that
If you can wrangle something
Into a three circle shape
You can mickify it
It was just cool
Oh they had Miracleberry
Oh right right
They had a stevia plant
And we got to eat the leaves
That's cool
Yeah it was super cool
And then the dolphin thing
Oh my god
You know that video of Kristen Bell
Freaking out about the Sloth
Yeah
I was almost in tears
Like I was
Not only did I tour
And the Epcot, the aquarium is the second largest in the nation.
First being the Georgia Aquarium, which is a question I had to ask.
Because they're boasting.
I'm like, we're the second biggest.
And I was like, okay, what's the first one?
It's the Georgia aquarium.
Man, that's a big tank.
So you know that big golf ball at Epcot?
Yeah.
You can fit that ball in the tank, like circumference-wise.
Holy moly.
And still have room around for like a bus.
That's how wide or how the circular tank is.
All right, that's big.
And it's got dolphins in there?
Yes.
A bunch of fish has manatees.
So I've never been close to a dolphin before, let alone hang out with them in the water, in a wet suit.
That's cool.
One pooped on me, but that's cool.
That is cool.
That is pretty cool.
How many people can you say that dolphin pooped on them?
Yeah.
The water just kind of washed away.
Yeah, yeah.
I just make sure I didn't drink any of the water.
So I pooped on them back and then we were even.
Yeah, yeah.
That's how they make friends.
And, yeah, you want to fit in, don't you?
It's reciprocal.
Yeah.
So they had four dolphins there.
And the dolphins there, they're not for show.
They're not, like, trick dolphins.
Like, they don't have, like, a dolphin show.
Okay.
You know what I mean?
They're not, they're not, like, jumping out of the water.
Okay.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nose budding balls or whatever.
So the facility there is for research.
So they are trained to do a lot of, like, animal husbandry things.
Like, they know how to, like, get on the scale, you know, to help us to, like, get their vitals.
and cognitive training
I hugged them
I felt their heartbeat
That's so cool
It is really cool
But the coolest thing
I never realized this was
I mean it's a 500 pound animal
So I got to pet all over
And once you get to the tail
It feels like a completely different thing
Because it's so hot
It's hot
Really
Like a hot piece of steak
Huh
And it's because they regulate
They regulate their body temperatures
Through their tail
And so their tail is super hot
Interesting.
It's really weird.
Because you're in the water and it's cold.
And, you know, because the water they swim in, it's cold.
And, you know, their body is like rubbery.
But once it gets its tail, it's like you just feel heat radiating out.
Well, they're so well insulated.
I can see that.
Like, the heat's got to go somewhere.
Yeah, exactly.
Do you know what the difference between a porpoise and a dolphin?
Yeah.
You know, I mean, I, again, this is another thing.
Just at some point over the years, I used to.
I could not tell you what it is.
A porpoise is basically a small whale
And a dolphin is a dolphin
Like a different species
I do remember reading once
That like what is passed off as porpoises
In a lot of places is actually just a different type
Yeah like a bottle nose dolphin or something like that
Maybe I mean they do look very similar
How you can tell is by their teeth
Okay
So dolphins have like conical
Like little cone teeth
Okay
And then whales and porpoises have like spade like teeth
Ah okay
Both scary
Okay.
But that's how you can tell.
And sometimes a porpoise is called a mere swine.
A mere swine.
Yeah, a sea pig, pretty much.
Do they get along?
Do dolphins and porpoises get along?
I don't know.
Hmm.
I wonder.
And like Chris said once, what he, I think when we, when we travel now, we kind of have
what he calls the good job brain effect, where when you travel to somewhere, you just want
to read up and learn about.
Yeah.
You're like, oh, he was in Hawaii.
He's like, how do pineapples grow?
So things that are very everyday vernacular, you're like, hmm, when you're traveling.
So when I was walking around downtown Disney, which is like a shopping area, well, now called Disney Springs,
shopping area with my runner friend, James, we walked by a cigar shop.
There was a smoke shop there.
And I noticed that there was a wooden statue outside.
And it was of a classic imagery of like a Native American chief, like an Indian chief.
And I remember there was a similar statue on Main Street USA in Disneyland.
And I was like, wait a minute.
Then I was like, oh, there is a statue like that in San Francisco in a smoke shop that I walked by to work.
And I was like, is this a thing?
What is this thing?
Have you seen these before?
Are you just asking about the phenomenon of a cigar story?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's absolutely a thing.
Oh, my God.
Oh, yeah.
It's been a thing forever and ever.
In fact, it's, I mean, it got to be, I mean, not got to be.
It was always a little politically incorrect.
Controversial.
Yeah.
Yeah, it was just, it just became more apparently politically incorrect.
So you don't see it as much, but no, that's a thing going way, way, way back.
Yeah.
Any Western movie, anything you see, it's, yeah, absolutely.
So I looked up the history of it.
It really started in Europe, even though the Native, you know, Native Americans is an American thing, but it started
in Europe and just like, you know, all the other store emblems that we know, like a barbershop pole.
Yeah.
The three gold balls for pawn shop.
Yeah.
And there was another thing to you.
Yeah.
It just became the kind of visual.
shorthand.
Yeah.
And it's because back in, this is like 17th century in Europe, not everybody knew how to
read.
And so they had to have these like, emblems or logos shorthand to be like, I didn't
go to the store.
Oh, that's that store.
Yeah, yeah.
Then why a Native American chief for a smoke shop?
So it started in Europe.
Tobacco was always tied to the new world, was always tied to, it was introduced to explorers and
travelers, then introduced to Europe.
Right, right.
They're like, hey, look what we found.
Yeah.
So the people who are making these, like the carvers and stuff, really never seen an actual Native American chief.
So, you know, the early ones kind of didn't really look right.
It was like a game of telephone.
Yeah, it is.
It is like game of telephone through across an ocean.
That makes more sense.
I didn't realize it was a European origin thing.
I mean, I knew it was really old and, you know, predated the Old West even.
But that makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
That it's like, here's this new world product.
Yeah.
We will show you our.
best attempt at interpreting a new world Native American.
I cannot unsee it.
Now that I've noticed, I was like, oh, my God.
Oh, you'll see.
I mean, it's in everything from Bugs Bunny cartoons to old magazine ads to
to sitcoms to, yeah.
Or a lot of, you know, like, again, like Tom and Jerry or like Roadrunner
Coyote, like any cartoon where there's like no dialogue, it's a really easy way to
kind of signify.
Got it.
Yeah, you're one of the, yeah, you'll see it everywhere now.
That's, that's, that's really interesting.

Are you dreaming about becoming a nurse or maybe you're already in nursing school?
I'm Nurse Mo, creator of the straight A nursing podcast, and I want you to know that I'm
I'm here for you. I know nursing school can be challenging. I've been there, but it doesn't have to be
impossible. Sometimes the key to succeeding in nursing school is to hear the concepts explained
clearly and simply, which is exactly what you get with weekly episodes of the Straight A Nursing
podcast. Each Thursday, I teach a nursing concept or share tips and advice to help you succeed in school
and at the bedside. My goal is to help you improve how you study, get more done in less time,
pass your exams, and feel more confident in clinical. And if you're already a practicing nurse,
these episodes are for you too, because as nurses, there's always something for us to learn.
So subscribe to the stray day nursing podcast, and I'll see you on Thursday.
So we get a lot of listener mail and email.
I wish I can feature them all.
But if you follow us on Facebook and Twitter,
the Good Job Brain account,
sometimes I will take pictures of it
and like the snail mail especially.
People draw pictures and stuff.
But I got this one email.
It's so weird and I have to share.
It's a nuts story.
This is from Autumn.
Lay it on me.
She wrote in and she said,
I recently listened to episode
number 82, body hacking, where you discussed various ways to alter body parts, such as tattoos,
piercings, and other weirder hacks, including notably a xenograft.
And I believe I talked about xenograph, which is grafting or adding body parts from other species.
Oh, right.
That's not human.
Right.
For example, a lot of the old World War I or World War II, when they have to do like kind of facial reconstruction, they might use skin from this.
They might use a bone from a pig or a cow or I think the one I saw was a duck.
Like someone got something from a duck.
Anyway, so that's what we talked about.
Autumn says,
Maybe you've already got a ton of mail on this subject.
Oh, no.
But in case if you haven't, I'd like to tell you that I have a xenograph.
Go on.
Please don't think less of me.
It wasn't by choice.
And in fact, I didn't even know about it until the anesthesia wore off.
this is great scene setting here yeah okay okay
autumn says that's right i have an involuntary xenograph how does this happen well when i was
23 the dentist told me that i still had a baby tooth and i needed to come out i said okay
because i used to trust doctors so they pulled the tooth and started the process to build a new
tooth bridge to fill the gap okay but my jaw that held the tooth somehow lost bone mass over the
weeks where they were doing the molding and they decided they had to graft additional bone onto it
with a minor surgery. They told me, hey, no worries. They just put some cadaver bone in my jaw,
but it was okay because it was totally sterilized. Fast forward five hours after the surgery,
I found out, to my great surprise, that they decided to use bovine bone instead. So now I'm part human,
part cow. There is a really terrible action movie in there somewhere, or maybe just a lot of
awful puns about a cowgirl. So Autumn, that's wonderful. I think that's cool. I think... I think
that's great. I think that's so cool. Yeah. We don't think less of you. No. I have never heard
anything like that. I like that they specified it was cadaver bone. Like, as it like, don't worry,
we didn't take this from somebody alive. Yeah, don't worry.
It's just a dead person, but it's sterilized.
Well, yeah, I hope it's sterilized.
Because I know, like, teeth and stuff, they use porcelain.
They use a lot of, like, casting.
Synthetic, right, right.
But I guess this was down and below that.
Wow.
All right.
But you can't.
No, we don't think less of you on them.
No, I think that's awesome.
That's pretty cool.
I think that's, if we're trying out for Jeopardy or a game show, that's your fun fact.
Oh, yeah, absolutely.
We're on a dating show.
That's the little fun fact on the back of your card.
Yeah, exactly.
That's an awesome fact.
So we have kind of decided on our next topic when we're all back.
And I'm not going to tell you what it is, but I'm going to clue you in with a clip from a movie.
Mysterious.
Yeah.
Bonus points, if you can identify the movie without looking it up.
I guarantee our listeners will be able to identify that.
Somebody, somebody out there, at least.
All right.
And we're going to end this catch-up show with a listener challenge.
I have devised a music quiz.
I'm going to be playing a couple of clips of songs back-to-back.
and there is a theme
and it's different than our usual music quiz
