You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, amazing analytic antelopes who always answer accurately. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 175, and I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your. Extraordinary emcees who exceed expectations exposing everyone's ears to evidence, experiences, and entertainment. I'm Colin. I'm Dana. And I'm Chris.

That's a listener submitted. All by one person. Oh, really? The front and the back. Yeah. From Dana, not our data. Oh. Well, you know, it was brilliant, Dana.

So I went to our Good Job Brain mailbox, and we have a bunch of stuff, including more. Thanks for the Omaha Steaks, which we had to throw away. You always joke about it. Actually, no, people are really good because when they do send in food stuff, they write an email to tell me just so. Oh, that's good. Yeah, to get you to this. This food, she emailed me about, because it's more Scandinavian candy. Oh, jeez.

We can't seem to a stap it. Yeah, we will try later. Ashley, she basically went to the candy store and kind of like made a tiered bag of different, I think, by severity of the candy. Thank you. That's how I like to grade my candy. Anyway, she sent us a nice postcard. Tivoli Gardens? Tivoli Gardens, yes.

Tivoli Gardens, which is in Copenhagen, of Comethound, which is the inspiration for Disneyland. When Walt Disney went there, he's like, oh, it was really clean. I wish America Parks would be that clean. I'll make my own. Anyway, thank you, Ashley. And then we also have a Rubik's Cube. But it's not a Rubik's Cube. It's a third-party puzzle cube.

Puzzle cube. Is it from Japan? It's from China. As made famous by. In the style of. Endorsed by a speed cuber. Oh. So here, let's...

From China. Oh, yeah. Colin, you had a segment about Rubik's Cube. Right. And noting that a lot of the professional speedcubers don't use the official Rubik brand. Yeah. And now here's... Chris sent us this, time to fulfill your life goal, Karen.

Although, try and share it with the other hope. or not. Oh, it's his or not? Yeah. Oh, okay. Wow. He really went back and forth and back and forth on that one. This is for you, although share it with the others.

Or don't. Or don't. Or don't. But do. But you don't have to. But you don't have to. You don't have to tell them. Does it feel smoother?

Yeah, it rotates really smoothly. I can see why if I were a speed cuber, I might want to use one of these. Yeah. Whoa. It's like butter. It's like it seems of butter. No wonder. No wonder those.

Oh, it really does. Oh, yeah, you don't really know it until you start messing around with it. This is why I haven't been able to crack six seconds. Right, exactly. That's it. Also, the fact that you don't know how to solve a rescue. Right, right. The fact that even with the help of YouTube, it took me 30 minutes.

Wow, that's amazing. Thanks, Chris. Not you, Chris. No, oh, man, we said we had a present for Medina and a present from a Chris. So where's the Colin and the Karen? They don't exist. Yeah. People with those names are less generous.

I don't know. It is known. Yeah. And we have one more piece of mail, Chris. Would you... I will read this letter. Karen, I received these from the Chicago Toy and Game Expo a few years ago. I didn't have to read it that way.

As a freebie. I opened them for the first time in a game night a few months ago and could not answer a single question. You will likely fare better. I love the show. Liz. Liz. All right. And Liz, with her letter, sent us this freebie that she got.

Trivia on the Go, TV edition. And today, this will be our pop quiz hot show. Okay, all right. TV edition. What year, I wonder, is this is a copyright date on there anymore? Well, she got them a few years ago. Okay. 2004.

Yeah. Okay, all right. I'm glancing some of these are. All right. Okay. Okay. All right, okay. Okay.

We'll have at it. So the premise is I'm going to choose a random trivia. Card usually trivial pursuit, but this time it's from Liz, trivia on the Go TV edition. You guys have your barnyard buzzers. Let's answer some questions, and hopefully we fare better. There are a lot of questions. I'll just read all of them.

All right. So all these questions are multiple choice. I'm going to ask the question to see if you know the answer first. Sure. And if not, then I'll share the answer. Okay. Okay. Yeah, okay.

All right. Whose alter ego is Jim. Glic. Oh, Dana. Oh, it's Martin Short. Yeah. Correct. Martin Short from Saturday Night Live, off to a good start already.

What was the most watched movie on television out of these three? Roots, the Day After, or Gone with the Wind? Colin. That was Roots, I believe. Roots, correct. All right. In the 2002 to 2003 season, what was the most popular TV show? out of these three, Friends, CSI, just the Vegas one, the original one, or Joe Millionaire.

Chris. You know what? I'm going to throw a line in here, and I'm going to say, I'm going to say, Joe Millionaire. Incorrect. Dang. CSI? Yes, it is CSI. This is the tail end of Friends, and this is when CSI fever was hitting it big.

Right. What was Joe Millionaire? That was the one where he turns out he was a millionaire. He's not a millionaire. He's not a millionaire. Okay. Next question. When you least suspect it, you're elected. You're the star today.

Is from what show? Wow. Colin. America's Funniest Home Videos. You are very close. It is Candid Camera. Oh, okay. Oh, the song.

That makes sense, actually. Blue That's America's Yeah, yeah Camera They did They did pranks So before

You didn't know America's funny video is just Crouttsworth It was like Punked Which TV show host Underwent a

colonoscopy On air in 2000 Oh Colin Was that Hugh Downs Incorrect

Chris David Letterman No Was it Matt Lauer No but you're kind of close. It is Katie Couric.

Wow. I didn't know that. What's colonoscopy? They scope your colon. In your colon. Yeah. Okay, next question. What cereal has the flavors of raspberry red,

lemon yellow, and orange orange? Dana. Is it tricks? It is tricks. Yeah. Very citrusy. All right. Lots of questions this one.

All right. Who played Detective Mary Beth Lacey in Cagnian? Lacey. Mary Beth, I think, was Tyne Daily. Wow! Yeah. It was 50-50.

It's either Sharon Glass or Time Daily. Yeah. We got three more questions on this card. On what show did Frank Poncherello patrol the highways of California? Everybody. Chips! Chips! Yeah.

Ponch. I love that show. I love that show. I watch that. Do they have a lot of episodes about hang gliding? I really remember. Like, there were hang gliding. People counted in chips.

I would say if they had more than one episode, that counts us a lot. I think there might have been more than one. It could be wrong. I was a little kid, but. All right. Next question. On the Walton's, which I think is like Colin's favorite show or something. Because you know a lot about Bolton's.

What profession did Mary Ellen choose? I actually don't think I know a lot about the Walton's, but a school teacher. Yeah, a nurse. Okay. Last question. It's not the same thing. Last question. What was the name of Zorro's black horse?

Oh. I don't remember this one. Yeah. It's not Silver. That's Loon Ranger. Yeah, that's Loon Ranger. Is it a Spanish name? Is this multiple choice?

Do we have some options? Yeah, but are the multiple choice? Multiple choice. This is why I was laughing because multiple choices. Okay. All right. All right. Is it A, Tornado.

B. Blackie, C, Co-A-O-O, A-O, not C-O-A-O. I'm gonna, I hope it's coal. It's blacky. No, it's tornado. Okay, okay, all right. That was a well-design question. It's two of them more about black.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Good job, Brains. We did pretty well. Not bad. Before we get started, I have a very good job brain headline to share with you guys. I have a very good job And I was like, oh, that's great Oh, yeah

This is my last show, I'm out of here So it was, of course, Valentine's Day Just over this past weekend So happy retroactive Valentine's Day to everybody Thank you This is a Valentine's related story And an animal related story Yeah

And I want to say that this story is also Just if I may editorialize This is a great example of how If you've got a really good story, you don't need a very click-baity headline. Just tell the story. Straight out. This is from Station K-O-M-O in Seattle, Washington. Seattle Aquarium cancels octopus sex act due to cannibalism concerns.

Oh, no. The octopus at the Seattle Aquarium won't be getting any love this Valentine's Day. Each Valentine's Day, the aquarium invites people to watch the sea creatures mate, but this year the chance to watch some eight-armed nookie has been called off. Aquarium staff say they're afraid that their male octopus, a 70-pound cephalopod named Kong, is too big for the females who are 30 to 40 pounds, and he may eat them. So I went on to learn that apparently sexual cannibalism, as it is called,

is not unheard of among octopus. Oh, black widows. Yes, and spiders as well. So I guess they decided if you're going to invite people to come in and watch this, this would be probably the most unromantic way to end. Or traumatic for kids. Yeah, so they called off the planned octopus sex act. Instead of mating, Kong will be released back into Puget Sound Monday.

Oh, yeah. Oh, he doesn't live in the park? He doesn't live there. This was just a temporary gig. Yeah. They don't live very long, only three or four years. Right. So that octopuses only live, as the article goes on, octopuses only live about three or four years, and they mate once at the end of their lives, then they die. So that's why they would have the octopus, um, porno party.

Yeah. Because ordinarily would not get a chance to witness. It is porno. Yeah. You can also see why this doesn't interfere with their life cycle. If the, if you kill your, uh, sex partner, if you're already at the end of your natural life cycle anyway, it's not going to. But why do you kill your sex partner? You know, I would need somebody more qualified in animal behavior to answer that.

Yeah, I guess if they're going to die, they don't necessarily need that. It's all about, you're making sure that your offspring have the best chances. You're like, I don't want to provide for you. I only provide for our kids. They say that there are some species actually where the female will eat the male after mating. It just so happened that in this case, the male was just so much bigger than the females. The size differential. Do they, their eggs are outside of their body after they're fertilized?

What am I? An octopus doctor? I like how you read one article and you become like Dr. Octopus. So today is episode 175. And of course, every fifth episode, we don't have a topic. We have a grab bag, just all of us prepared quizzes and puzzles to quiz each other and quiz you guys' listeners.

So this week, it's our all-quiz bonanza number 35. I read through our Twitter a lot and we get a lot of feedback. Did you see someone actually did find a dictionary with Doored? Yes, I did see that. I love that. I was so happy. That was great.

One of the main, I wouldn't say complaints. Let's just say feedback that our music segments lack diversity. And I can see how maybe, you know, our musical tastes that we share on the show is kind of reflecting our pub quiz experience. It's a funny thing with pub trivia music because it has to be on the radio. It has to be well-known. It can't be too not unwell-known

or else it's not fun. When they do that, sometimes we'll know it just because we happen to know it, but it's like nobody else knows it and people get upset. And I know that when we're making these quizzes, we're also designing them for each other.

So it's like, oh, I don't want to have like a quiz full of country. You guys would be sad because you won't get any... I'm sure we could all stump each other if we wanted to. But anyway... Well, with that said...

So that's why that happens, but... One of the genres that we don't do a lot, and I have made a quiz that you guys will have to write down. Okay. And now, we haven't done a lot of classical music. You're a classical expert.

I know. I'm the one... And we just are like, Karen, what is this? Thanks to years of violin and piano. So what I have done is I'm not like, oh, here are my favorite tunes. Like, I've curated songs that we usually get in pub trivia. Okay.

And you have to name the composer. So these are big, famous ones that you'll recognize, but you might not know who the composer is. That is your challenge, just to write down the composer. All right. And we'll see how it goes. So I have a question. Are any composers repeated in the ways?

No. Yeah. No repeated composers, all unique. I have a question. So we can use process of elimination. You can. Right. Is the answer to the first one, Beethoven?

No. Okay. All right. Oh, one guard lies. It respects the truth. Thank you, Colin. No need for full name. You can just do last name.

Okay. Here we go. The Good Job Brain, our first inaugural classical music quiz. This will be helpful in Pub trivia. Here we go. All right. Pump and Circumstance. It's right.

Well, that's the name of the, yeah. Those are the lyrics. Circumstance and pumping, pomp and circums circumstance. Answers up. Chris says, Handel. Colin says, Elgar. Dana says. Pa-com.

What do you have three? It has like three answers already. I was like, I'm just going to pre-write Mozart on this, but I wrote Mozart and I crossed it out and I said Pac-Betel. It is Elgar. Correct. Pump and circumstance. Elgar. Not Beethoven.

I promised you that. Known as the graduation march. Yes. Well, yeah. Famously. And if you watch Fantasia, it was the one. Fantasia 2000 was the one with Donald and Daisy and their Noah, Noah's Ark. Hmm.

Doesn't help me. Next one. Mm-hmm. answers up everybody i can't wow your handwriting is weird is it that mad chikovsky i put mozart but mozart but i think it's yeah you wrote a lot of

You might as, you know, if you keep guessing Mozart. Yeah, eventually. One right. That might be more than me. Chris is right. Oh, yeah. You are correct. Nutcracker.

Oh, Nutcracker. Well, this is waltz of the flowers. You know, pub quiz trick, if anything sounds like a home alone movie or anything that is Christmasy, it's going to be Chikowski. Oh, sure. It's going to be a nutcracker song. Anything that is like Romoli makes you think of the holidays, it's going to be that. Okay.

Because there's like 10 songs, like a bunch of songs. within the suite. And they're all used in like every Christmas movie ever. All right, next one. All right, answers up. Chris, can you just read it? You guys want me to read it? Paco Bell. Paco Bell. Tacco Bell's canon. I also put Paco Bell.

So I agree with that that's the answer, but I wrote. But that's not what I wrote. I wrote, Vivaldi, Verde. I was like, I don't know. First of the V. Those are two different composers. And then you say Paco Bell. I'm like, oh, yeah. I think it's Pac Bell. I don't know how you pronounce Paco Bell. that was of course very famous canon in d major used in many weddings and uh in uh a timothy houghton movie ordinary people

that's based on a lot of movies is it a lot of movies uh so weddings think this poc paco bell that was the it's in so many weddings that when i got married i asked regina i was just like oh so what no no no she was just like you know what music he's like not canon and d is the only one i definitely don't want to have overplayed. And you're like, oh, okay, sure. Right, whatever you say. No problem.

That is not the hell of we're going to die. Here we go. Next one. Dda, da, da, da, da, da, da, and answers up. Chris, you said. Colin, you said? I said, Slavinsky.

Dina, you said. Loft it on Mozart. It is Johann Strauss. Oh, right. Of course, Strauss. Blue Danube? Yeah. Blue Danube.

Johan Strauss. I don't know what's a nice way to remember it. I just remember it from 2001, but clearly it didn't help me just now. I got as far as the STR and my brain just shut down. It's very waltzy name. Strauss House. Strauss House. House.

Mouth. I don't know. I think just listening to them is really. Yeah. I don't think there are any. I don't think there are a lot of short. Yeah. Let's do one last one.

Let's end strong. Let's end strong here. You know what's going to happen. Let's do two. It's going to be Mozart and Dana's not going to put Mozart. Let's do, let's do two more. Okay. Next one.

All right. Whoa, what did you say? Is it so jazzy? Maybe that's a clue. All right. Chris says Gershwin. Colin says Gershwin. I just left it.

I was like, I'm going to change it. I was like, what a jessie Mozart. Motto was so ahead of his time He really That doesn't even make sense I'm gonna leave it Because it's gonna be like Peter in the Wolf or something

That'll be so complete I just loved it I was like I think he had that That instrument Mozart Oh my God It is Gershwin Is it Rhapsody and Blue

Rhapsody and Blue Also known as the United Music The United Yeah All the ads The safety videos, I mean, United has been using Rhapsody and Blue for, God, since I was a kid, and they're still using it. So every time I hear it, I'm not thinking Gershwin.

I'm thinking it's United. United Airlines. Triumph of marketing. And, you know, the clue is it's classical, but it's not what you think classical, classical music is. Yeah, it sounds very modern age. Yeah. And that's usually Gershwin. Okay.

All right. Last one. What's Enstrong? Here we go. we go maximum effort Gershwin Gershwin All right

All right All right Chris says Mozart Colin says Mozart Dana says Mozart

The pin broke Swigglies It is Mozart You know what I had I was like Oh my God

Is this Beethoven So this is So this is a So here's the thing I mean A lot of people get Mozart and Beethoven

Just for Public Quiz Logic Anything that's more somber or heavier Is going to be Beethoven

They're going to be playing probably the greatest hits of Mozart at Pub Trivia. It's going to be more light. This is I'm inclined and knock music, a little bit of night music, and it's very, like, jaunty. You know, if you watch Amadeus, he's like kind of a nutty guy. Yeah, he's a whimsical guy. I went for nutty, but wins the cool words. So here you go. Hopefully that's a little bit more diverse in our music offerings on Good Job Brain.

It's like taking our medicine. Thank you, Karen. I'm sweating. We need to take our medicine. Yeah. All right. I'll go next. And I'll go to the other end of the spectrum here.

I've got a 50-50 quiz for you guys. Oh, we hate, where are we doing quizzes on stuff we think? You know, it's so funny, like, I always say that I hate 50-50 quizzes, but I find that I put a lot of 50-50 quizzes together. So I guess I'm a hypocrite in that sense. Well, no, but you're putting it together. I don't have to answer it. It's that internal dialogue.

You're like, is it this? And you're being like, you're convincing. Yeah. Yeah. I'm really good about talking myself into and then out of the right answer on things. This past weekend was the NBA All-Star game. It was also the release of the teaser trailer for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones,

which I was also excited about. One thing I do a lot when I'm watching sports or basketball is if I see a player that has a really cool name, like I'll say to my wife, like, oh, that guy's got a really good movie villain name, or that player's got a really good Game of Thrones name. Okay. So, like, for instance, I've always said there's a player named Bruce Bowen. He doesn't play anymore. But I always thought Bruce Bowen is such a great Game of Thrones name.

It reminds me of Bowen Marsh. Oh, okay. So I have a quiz for you guys that involves two things that I love. And at best, one thing that you may like a lot. Okay. This quiz is called NBA or Game of Thrones. Okay, okay. The game where we see if you can tell you're Bruce Bowen from your Bowen Marsh.

Uh, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to read out a name. This will be a name of either a person who has played in the NBA at some point in the past, maybe currently, or it'll be a name of a, um, I'm not even going to say secondary. It'll be a name of a minor character from the Game of Thrones saga. Because we're already familiar right, right, right, right, right, right, yeah. Game of Thrones or Game of Basketball. Yeah. These are names taken from the books from the, uh, Song of Ice and Fire series.

There may be some famous NBA players. in here, but I'm hoping that you guys know little enough about the NBA. That is correct. A good guess. Disclosure, is there anything from my fan fiction? Not directly. Have any of you read my fans? That's expanding

universe. Purely because this entertains me, instead of having you guys write down the answers NBA or Game with Thrones, I've made some flashcards here for you guys. One card has a basketball. Collins. And the other card has a picture of the Iron Throne.

It's too much. You make us look at it. It looks wonderful. You could sell this in a... Perhaps... You could sell this in a basketball game of... It's on shiny photo paper. Yeah, I mean...

This is what happens when I have too much time to put a quiz together. This is what happens when you realize your printer came with shiny photo paper. Oh, as a trial. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, Chris is actually closer to the truth than he might realize. All right. So get your Iron Throne and or basketball cards ready. All right.

I'm going now... Okay. I've printed. these names out here so you can see how they're spelled maybe that'll help you maybe it won't maybe all right so here we go you guys tell me here we go first name you tell me NBA or game of thrones elgin baler wow man elgin baler oh yeah okay Karen's got hers up okay answers up all right Dana and Karen both say game of thrones Chris says NBA it is in fact NBA Yes. That is a game of the name. It is Baylor, but B-A-E-L-O-R.

Elgin Baylor, yes. One of the greatest players in NBA history, in fact, a lifelong Laker. Did you know that, Chris? No, well, had Colin not spelled it out for us, B-A-Y-L-R, I knew there wouldn't be names that are homophones. Okay, got it. There's a bailish, yeah. There is, there is. I'm going to let you know that there may be some names that are. Oh, really? Wow. Okay.

Again, there's over 1,000 characters in the game characters. Just keep in mind. I'm not saying that I knew it for sure. I'm saying that's how I got. That's right. That's right. That was the typical. Nothing wrong with being right for the wrong reasons in this game.

All right. Next name. Otto High Tower. NBA or Game of Thrones? Otto High Tower. Maybe he's a power forward. Maybe he's a knight. I don't know.

It is such a mind game. It is a mind game. Oh, I can see that being a basketball player's name. Yes, yes. Then maybe that's too easy. My criteria for this quiz are fun names and names that could be either. All right, answers up. All right.

Chris says NBA. Karen says Game of Thrones. Dana says NBA. Sir Otto High Tower. Wait. Sir Otto High Tower was a knight in the House High Tower. It is Game of Thrones. Maybe he was British or something.

Right. Wow, that seems like that's a really normal fantasy name. Yeah. Or Game of Thrones. Yep, yep, yep. That's why. He was a hand of the king to three different Targaryians. Wow.

Yeah, yeah. He wasn't even that minor. Yeah. Next name, NBA or Game of Thrones. Mason Plumley. Mason Plumley. It's hard when there's like a job in the name. Mason Plumley answers up you got to just go with your gut got to go with your gut all right

Dana says NBA Karen says Game of Thrones Chris is NBA Mason Plumley is in his third season out of Duke University playing for the Portland Trailblazers so point to Dana and Chris yes his older brother Miles Plumley plays for the Milwaukee Bucks and there's a third plumbly, younger plumly, Marshall Plumly. So, yeah, if you're in the plumbly business. This is currently the plumbliest NBA you've ever seen.

All right, next one. Game of Thrones or NBA, Rufus Leak. Rufus Leak. That's a good name. It's a great name. It's not just a good name. It's a great name. Yeah, it's really good. Rufus Leak answers up.

Everyone says, Game of Thrones. everyone is correct yes yes i got i got to separate myself from the pack oh yeah there's a little bit of a strategy going into that yes sir rufus leek a night of house leak he uh he is described in uh one wiki as short stout with a gray beard and an amputated left leg he cannot read that's it i just like the last all right next one next one NBA or game Thrones, Phenis Dembo.

Wow. Killing me here. Fennis Dembo. It's like pig Latin. It's like Dennis Fembo. It does sound like a switch name. It's a lot of fun to say. Spoonerized.

Fennis DEMbo. Spoonerized. Yeah, Dennis Fembo. Okay. Fennis Dembo. No. All right. Answers up.

Answers up. You guys could pull ahead. Chris says, Game of Thrones. Karen and Dana both say NBA. Fennis Dembo played one season for the Detroit Pistons. Let me give you an interesting little anecdote here about the name Fennis. Yes, this is from an article on ESPN.com.

He has a twin sister named Finis. They were the 11th and 12th children in the Dembo family, and their older sister was allowed basically to choose their names when they came along. So she suggested they'd be named after the French word for Finnish, Fini. It's like, no more kids. Right, we're done. We are really done. All right.

We are all tied up here, by the way, for those of you keeping track here. All right. Next one, next one. NBA, or Game of Thrones. Mario Tumetus. That is a good name. Is he a, maybe a mercenary? Are any of these both?

Maybe it is? You know what? I did actually, I double-checked. Cross-reference. One of these are both. All right. Dana says, Game of Thrones.

Karen and Chris both say NBA. Moriotomitas is captain of the ship's storm dancer. He is Tyroche. So it is Game of Thrones. From Tyroche. They're the ones that have like the colored, they have like the colored beards. They dye their hair. Okay.

Yeah. I don't think we've been in the show. All right. So point to. Or certainly they're not going to call that. such. Karen, yes.

No, no, I didn't get it. Oh, sorry. I didn't get it right. All right. All right. Next one up, here we go. NBA or Game of Thrones. Manfred Swan.

Wow. Manfred Swan. That's a good name. Manfred. It is a good name. It's a good name for both. I'll still say Game of Thrones. Chris says Game of Thrones.

Karen, perhaps trying to be different. Says NBA. That's really just my strategy now. Oh, yeah. All right. Dana says NBA. Sir Manfred Swin. Yes.

Yes, from Game of Thrones. Sir Barrist and Selmy squired for Manfred Swan when he was a young up-and-coming squire. That sounds familiar. The spelling is interesting because it's like, oh, that... I got it right. Yeah, Chris got it right. No, I'm not caring, though. Okay, good.

Making sure. All right, three more. Still anyone's game. Here we go. Next one, NBA or Game of Thrones. Artis Gilmore. Artis Gilmore. Good poker.

face, Karen. Oh, I know it. Yeah. Oh, I know it. Let me hold up the right answer. Or does she? I don't. It's going to be different.

All right. Even though that is for sure a real name as well. Yeah. Dana says, Game of Thrones. Karen and Chris both say NBA. Artists Gilmore, artist Gilmore is a Hall of Famer in the NBA. Just kidding.

I knew who that would. I got it up too early and I was like, oh, no. I just realized that. As I was late, I was like, oh, I know this. Oh, no, everybody else knows that. I know. All right. So point to Karen and point to Chris.

All right. All right. NBA or Game of Thrones. Stromile Swift. Stromile swift. Stramile? Stramile. Swif.

Straw mile. This is Karen's thought process. Probably stromeil. Answers up. Chris says NBA. Karen says NBA, although she did wait until other people had her answers up. I want to point that out. And Dana says Game of Thrones.

Stromile Swift, NBA. Yes, he was a high draft pick, never really quite a superstar, but I think he has a superstar name in my book. Point to Karen, point to Chris. So Dana, unfortunately, two points behind. So Karen, you can tie here. Karen can force the tie breaker. Yes. So really, your strategy, I'm going to make you guys go blind.

I'm going to make you guys choose, because otherwise Karen's just going to go opposite whatever you do, Chris. Right, all right. Sure, sure, sure, sure. Last one. Oh, this is a good one to end on. Otis Birdsong. Otis Birdsong.

NBA player or Game of Thrones character? Otis Birdsong. I'm throwing a rich in there. Throw up there. I picked wood. All right. Karen's got her answer locked in. All right.

Bonanza number 35 And up next is Chris Yes So not only was it Valentine's Day recently It was also Grammy's Day recently The Grammys were on Like right now Industries

Well yes if we want to peek behind the curtain They're actually on as we're recording This very podcast So I have developed a Grammy themed quiz for you guys that I think you're going to enjoy. We will write down our answers, so we will see who the grammiest person is. So competitive tonight. See who's paying attention out there.

And this quiz is titled, You don't have to be dead to win a Grammy, but it helps. Okay. That's terrible. There are many Grammy Awards given out immediately following, well, you know, within a year, of a famous person passing away. Now, a lot of these are Lifetime Achievement Awards or other such non-competitive Grammys that are given in sort of a recognition

of the person's achievements or contributions to music over time. What I am talking about when I'm going to be asking you about in this quiz are competitive Grammys that were won by people who were not currently alive. Were they alive at the time they won it?

No. No. No, no. No, they made the music, died, and then the Grammy ceremony gave them the Grammy. Got it. But they weren't there to get. I didn't even know that happened that much.

Posthumous. Postumous Grammys. Kind of happens a lot because when someone passes away, especially if they just don't something. It'll sway. It will kind of sway the judges into like, well, we should give them this Grammy because, you know, they're not going to be making any more.

We're going to look like jerks if they don't. So, question a one. Ray Charles has won approximately 17 Grammys. He won five of them after his death in a single night for What Album of Duets? Oh my gosh. What album of duets? I mean. What album of, like his album?

Yeah. It's a Ray Charles album of duets, won five Grammys for it immediately following his death in the middle 2000s. I'm just going to brainstorm me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Answers up. Colin says Georgia on my mind. Karen says duets,

W slash Ray. And Dana says... Ray and Friends or Georgia. That is, you know, Ray and Friends is the closest. You don't get a point, but it is the closest. No, it's genius loves company was the name of the Ray Charles album. Very humble. Yes.

This person, this person, this kind of... Guy won many Grammy Awards, including one in 1973 for his album AM and FM, another in 1994 for his album, Jammin in New York, and won in 2009, after his death, for his album, It's Bad for You. What kind of music did you say? Did you say? I'm sorry, did I say it was musical? Oh, can you say it again? Sure. This guy won many Grammy Awards, including one in 1973 for his album. AM and FM, another in 1994 for Jammin

in New York, and one in 2009 after his death for his album, It's Bad for You. He was not a musician. Oh. Oh. Colin says Eric Bogysian. Tells me it's not the right answer.

It's Bogosian. There's a lot of lines there. Karen says Bill Hicks. Dana says George Carlin. It is George Carlin. Yes. Yes, indeed. As soon as I saw that. A hard 1.1 in the Dana Collie.

I feel like I won the whole thing. Let's stick with comedy. Last year, seeking with comedy, this late comedian won a posthumous Grammy for Best Spoken Word for her album, Diary of a Mad Diva. Diary of a Mad Diva. So you want to put this together in your brain as a comedian who won a posthumous Grammy. last year, which means she died right before that. Oh, what's her name? I don't know.

What's her name? Shoot. It's... Dook, do, do, do, do, do. Dana's written something and answers. Colin says Joan Rivers. Dana says, Eileen Blank. Karen says Joan Rivers.

It is Joan Rivers. Yeah, yes. You're thinking of Eileen Strick? Strict. Something. Elaine Stritch. Yeah. Close.

You're thinking of Elaine Stritch, Karen. Yeah. in okay so it's all tied up with one point each in 2012 a version of the jazz standard body and soul won a grammy and that was performed by tony bennett and whom 2012. Again, we're thinking of somebody who would sing with Tony Bennett who passed away in the year 2000 and 11 because the 2012 Grammy's very early in the year so wrapping up 2011.

Dana has an answer. Colin is thinking. Karen is writing. I want answers now. Elaine Stretch. Colin says Elaine Stretch. Dana says Amy Wine. Dana says Amy Wine.

House. Harris is that can call it as Amy Winehouse. That was Amy Winehouse's posthumous Grammy. Shared with Tony Bennett. Did you watch the documentary? No. Oh, the Amy?

It's nominated for it. Did you watch it? What now? You're, you're, you're, the Amy number one fan. Oh, I haven't watched it yet, no. It's like nominated for an Oscar. You know, I'm going to watch it.

She's sang that song on it. I'm on Dad Time. I haven't seen it yet. Would it help me. Roy Orbison. He was nominated for but did not win a Grammy for this 1989 song, which reached number nine on the Billboard Hot 100 that year. In 1989, Roy Orbison hit in the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in a long time

with this song, which was nominated for a Grammy, would have been a posthumous Grammy. Karen says Pretty Woman, Danis is Pretty Woman, Collins says Pretty Woman That is a much older song The song is You Got It Anything you want You got it Anything you need, you got it

It was 1989 Was that a big return for him? Was that a solo? I thought that was traveling Wilburys? No, that was a solo. Yeah, okay. Yep. Oh, man, that's a lot of commercials.

Yeah, crazy. This country singer, this is really interesting. This is, and I'm not just saying, this is a really interesting A really well-written question. This country singer has won posthumous Grammys for Best Music Video

Twice since his death Once for the song hurt And once for the song God's gonna cut you down I don't know about the second one Everyone says Johnny Cash Everyone gets a point This rap artist was nominated for Best Rap solo performance After his death in 1997

For his song Hypnotize But he did not win This rap artist nominated for best solo performance appropriately after his 1997 death for his song Hypnotize

but he did not been We're going to have answers Now Colin says Notorious B-I-G Dana says Tupac And Karen says

Big Papa And you're going to have to clarify Oh yeah That is Well you know what I'll say that Oh shit Yes Colin and Karen

Get a point each It is the notorious B-I-G that ties us up at three points each. Wow. All right. This film legend, silver screen legend, won a posthumous Grammy in 1992 for a spoken word book of classic children's stories. Screen legend.

I will say, let's chop the number of possible candidates in half. It is a woman. roughly half slightly less than half 92 you said 1992 she went a posthumous Grammy spoken word book of classic children's stories

that means she died right before her in like 91 or possibly in the very beginning of 92 yeah yeah I'm either I'm either way off or this is a good job you know if you get it it's a great point

I pulled it out uh wow karen says audrey hepburn Colin says Audrey Hepburn Dana says a big fat blank No I'm sorry oh I'm sorry I'm looking You write these you like write your numbers You write so many other numbers I don't know what one to listen ahead

Dana says Lucille ball It was a good guess on Dana's part Colin and Karen are correct Audrey Hepburn I put Judy Garland first and I was like Spoken Word book of children's stories Got that Grammy The winner of the Best World Music album

In 1993, was dead. So he didn't know that he'd be actually fighting it out for this award with his daughter, who was nominated for the same award that year. Who is the one who was died? Oh. World music. So world music. 1993, he had died.

But that same year, both he and his dad. daughter were nominated for the best world music album and he won and his daughter did not win his daughter accepted the prize for him but she didn't win it hmm yeah i have a guess you have a guess i will give you the title of the album maybe this oh okay yeah i'm gonna give you the title title is the living room sessions part one turns out that that turns out that that didn't really hurt anybody uh the living room sessions part one best world music album 1993, the winner, not alive. But his daughter was also up for the same award that same year.

All right, I'm going to want some answers fairly soon. Karen wrote something on already? Colin says Bob Marley. Dana says Bob Marley. Karen says Robbie Shankar and Karen is correct. That's what it is. His daughter, Anushka Shankar, was also nominated. Not Nora Jones.

Not Nora Jones, who would have her own time in the sun a little bit late. That's why I was like 93, not 2003. Yeah, that's right. Oh my God, good job, brain. I started, I got R-A, and then I scratched it up. And you had it so early, too. The instrumental Marwa Blues, off of the album Brainwashed, won a posthumous Grammy for who? No year?

No year. The instrumental Marwa Blues off of the album Brainwashed. won a posthumous Grammy for who? What a weird album name. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And some of these are tough. Some of them are tough. Colin says John Coltrane.

Dana says John Lennon, and Karen says David Bowie. What if this just happened? I don't think Chris is that on top of the ball. Oh, man, that would have been crazy if it had just... That was a pretty audacious gamble. I was checking his phone this whole time, so maybe. Oh, that could be a thing. You know what?

But how would I know that anyway? No, it's George Harrison. Brainwashed. Brainwashed is George Harrison's last one. Okay. I wanted that to be true. Yeah, I know. Wouldn't that be great?

We're going into the final question. All right. Karen has five, column has four. Dana has three. Dana, again, you find yourself out of it. Although I might tie with Colin. Although you might tie with Colin for a second. Second.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Way to hope that I get this one wrong. Colin might tie with Karen for first, or Karen might pull ahead. In fact, if you all get this correct. So let's see who is the winner. This singer-songwriter hosted the Grammys five times, but never won a single Grammy, despite his incredible popularity, until after his 1997 death. Despite his incredible popularity, this singer-songwriter, although he hosted the

Grammys five times Never won a single Grammy until after his death in 1997. Jeez. This seems like this should be a household name. Yeah. I have no... You have nothing? Okay, so Karen has...

Karen has nothing. Dana says Frank Sinatra and Colin says Paul Enka. I'm so personally disappointed. He's very near and dear to my heart. James Taylor. He is still alive. He's alive. I've seen a concert.

Weird Al. He's a lot. It's not Weird Al. I'm still alive. Also, still alive. Also is not hosted five times. Yes. Who is it?

It is the late and great dearly missed John Denver. Oh. Oh, is he dear to your heart? Indeed. I didn't know he hosted the Grammys five times. He hosted the Grammys five times. They never gave a freaking Grammy. And after he died in 1997, he was given he won for Best Children's Music album.

He had just released an album all aboard. which was a train it was train songs for kids wow that's cute it was his last studio album well anyway after all of that our winner is karen yeah big five points i know my deceased grammy winners you do and karen i i should have said i mean you know for your efforts here today you win a big prize is it a grammy it is your very own posthumous grammy did you just make this it's already it's already it's already fallen apart. It just ended the three seconds.

It's like a of yola. A coffee filter. Is it a coffee filter? I think it's a paper plate. It was once... Oh, I see. Yeah.

It's like the graphingly. Vagely gramophone shaped. Okay, I'll take a picture of it and put it on the site. It's actually not bad. That's actually not bad. Yeah, that's airloom quality.

all right we have one last segment all right after my big win yeah congratulations karen thank you um so this year is a special year because it is a leap year oh yeah yes so leap year means there are 29 days in february usually they're 28 yeah so i have a quiz for you guys about leap year um at first it'll maybe be a little conversational and then we'll get into it with a buzzing So you guys can buzz in. Okay, so we'll start it off with this. What are the three rules for determining if it's a leap year? There are three rules, not just one.

Like science rules? No. Well, isn't, okay. If you're working in the calendar, how do you know? Divisible by four. Yes. Right. Okay.

Except. Except. All right, divisible by four, except, what, maybe century years, maybe even centuries. No. Was there one in 2000? I don't remember. Okay. Every four years.

Well, there isn't one every four years. No, it's every four years, but then every once in a while you have to either add one or skip one, right? Because it's not exact. It's every four years except years where it's divisible by 100. Okay. Unless it's also divisible by 400. So 2000, yes, was. But 2100 won't be, 1900 won't have one.

Yes. Okay, so every, every, no, every 400 years, you don't have a leap year. 2000 yes 2,100, no 2,200 yes No Not 23 24 yes

Got it Whoa Every hundred No Not every hundred years No Unless it's divisible by 400 Yeah

Isn't that crazy I never knew that until I found this out Yeah Because we don't live that Yeah Maybe we'll make it to 2100 And see the no leap year

You made it to 2000 Yeah but we saw But we saw a leap year in 2000. That was an easy. What you're saying is most people only cross over one of those. Right, right. And chances are it's going to be a not. Yeah.

So what kind of calendar do we use? Is it? Gregorian. So we use the Gregorian calendar, and that was preceded by the Julian calendar, which was made by Julius Caesar. And that one also had leap years in it. Oh. But they did it every four years, and it started slipping.

It started getting further and further away. Right, right. You start noticing, like, wait a minute. It's colder than it was. Yeah, last, last April. I don't think we should start plowing the land yet. Yeah, but there's a lot of snow still on the ground. Yeah.

Yeah. So that's why they started the 100-year thing. Yeah. It was because it does start adding up. Wow. Yep, that fudge factor. That's weird. Yes.

Okay, so now here are some little quiz questions about leap years for you guys. Leapling is a name for somebody who's born on the 29th. Oh, that's cute. Yeah, it's very cute. Leapling. What American rapper, singer, and actor, most known for his number one hit with Ashante.

Ashanti, excuse me, Ashanti, always on time, is a leopling. Karen. Jarl rule. Jarl rule, he's a leopling. You can think about that when you look at it. The 2010 Amy Adams movie, Leap Year, is based on the idea of Bachelor's Day.

What is Bachelor's Day? I don't know. It's a thing in the people in the UK maybe know about that. I thought it was like a Sadie Hawkins kind of deal. That's the first thing I would guess. Where you go find it. Because, well, that was the plot of the movie. Oh, okay.

Yeah. Right. A woman can ask Amanda marry her, and if he turns her down, he has to buy her some expensive gifts. And one of, one of them was on February 29th. On February 29th, it's not a scandal. If you're a woman and you ask a man to marry her. What if what if he said yes?

And you're like, oh, oh, no, you're asking because you want it. Okay. In the, around 1900s, there are all these really funny cards about these women who are like waiting for February 29th and they're setting traps. Like, it was, yeah, it was a joke that they, that they had. But now it's more acceptable for women to propose to men. It's not like, you have to wait for February 29th to do that. if you think that's where you are in your relationship.

Yeah, one of the expensive gifts that the men were supposed to buy the women were gloves in order to hide her hands to show that she's not wearing an engagement ring. Oh, man, what a bird. I was, yeah. That's kind of bad. Yeah, let me buy you a gift, but it's like an insult. I won't marry you, but you can hide your shame. You buy her a face bag, but on the face bag. Yeah, right, right.

That's a rosey crystals on it. Yeah, right, right. It's a nice face bag. Oh, that's high quality. Sulk. All that gleaming just hides your face. Rabbit fur. Yeah.

Okay. On 30 Rock, what's the name of the guild creature who lives in the Mariana Trench and trades candy for children's tears? Oh, man. Oh, what was it? Is it like Leap Pete? It's close. Yeah.

Oliver. He wears blue and yellow. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. He looks like, he's like a cross between Uncle Sam and like a, like, a, like, Like a leprechaun. Yeah, I wanted to say, like, like, Leapy, what is it? What is it?

It's Leap Day William. Leap day William. Okay. In the Mariana Trench. And finally, what Gilbert and Sullivan musical has kind of a primary conceit that the character was born on a leap year. So instead of being able to end his job at 21, he has to do it into his 80s. Right. Karen.

Pirates of Penzance. Yes. Yeah. Is it like the cabin boy or something? I don't know. I'm really just guessing. It is Pirates of Penzance. He's supposed to serve until he's 21, but because he won't be 21.

Cute. Yeah. And they figured out in 1900 doesn't count as a birthday because that is like the year that it's not a leap year. So we had to do it an extra four years. Ha, ha. I know. I'm sure a leap year. leaplings get really tired of people saying, like, oh, you're still, you're only five years old.

There's a club for people who are leoplings, and they... What do they do? There's a bunch of tech that doesn't support February 29th as a birthday. So they're like, hey, I exist, like, to be able to put my birthday in this form correctly. And that's, it seemed like that was their main. You know, that's a question for our developer friends out there. what so that's the thing like when you submit like say your birthday and you're doing the drop-down and stuff like does it auto-verify the year that has a leap like a leap day there's enough people

who have that as their birthday that that would be something you would have to have it no or can you just put oh for February 29th 1987 obviously it's not a year right I think yeah Karen's asking does the drop down just the drop yeah it could the answer is it depends on how it depends on how lazy the coder is it depends on For what you said, like, why are you making this birthday thing? Is it for the IRS, or is it so you can watch an em-rated video game video? Yeah. Anyway, there you go.

I thought the thing about the not every four years. Yeah, I had no idea. I had no idea. It hadn't happened in our lifetime. Yeah. Every 400 years? Cool. Well, that's our show filled with fun times and quizzes and dead Grammy winners.

Yeah. The best kind of Grammy winner. That sounded like more of a threat than I meant it to. I'm sorry. I didn't, yeah. Thank you guys for joining me. Thank you guys, listeners, for listening in.
