You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, listeners. Karen here. And after a bit of a good job brain hiatus, we're trying to get back on our recording track. Thank you, listeners, for being so patient. And I've mentioned online before I was going through some tough personal kerfuffle. But day to day, it's getting better. And, of course, much thanks to my co-hosts, Colin, Dana, and Chris for the French and support and sometimes physical labor they provided during my my hard times.

And thanks to you guys, listeners, all of your warm messages and just ridiculously unending and loving support. And I was like crying like a deranged cat reading all of your messages and tweets and emails. I'm beyond touched. And so this episode you're about to listen to was recorded a few weeks ago. And it's with all four of us. And it's an all quiz. So enjoy and happy to be back.

Hello, brilliant and brainy, breathing, bros, and brontosauruses. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 190, and of course, I'm your home. host, Karen, and we are your cacophony of quiz-crunching cookie cohort co-hosts. I'm Colin. I'm Dana. And I'm Chris. I'm the bro, I think.

I guess I'm the Brontosaurus? Maybe. And I have just a quick, bizarre headline here. Nice. Have you guys heard of the Airlander 10? The Airlander 10? Airlander 10. No.

Airlander is a part plane and part airship. And recently it broke the record. because now it is the longest, 50 feet longer than the biggest passenger jets. So it's super long. But it's also half airship and half airplane. Okay. Meaning what? It's like an airplane.

Because I'm imagining a blimp with wings. I'm imagining like, pretty much. Chocobo stables. What are we talking about? Pretty much. So you're sitting inside the balloon versus below the balloon. Okay. But anyways, today, they're scheduled for the maiden flight for the Airlander 10.

People are very excited, but it actually just got five hours ago. It got postponed at the last minute due to safety. So we don't necessarily know why. And this is a big deal because the Airlander 10, it can stay airborne for around five days. Okay. So, I mean, it's great for surveillance. for like delivering stuff. Supervillains.

Supervillian layers of vacations. But why I want to share this story is because though the technical name is Airlander 10, people have been calling it the flying butt. Because it looks like a giant flying butt.

Well, yeah, a plane kind of crossed with an air. It's like a balloon kind of in the middle. I was just imagining like a fat-bodied jet. Like a sausage. Apparently, it looks like a butt.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, it's like a peach with wings. Get out. It looks like long, though. It looks like. Sure. It looks like, yeah. Yeah, head on.

It is a, it looks like a Goodyear blimp with a butt crack. See, to me it looks like a hot dog bun. Oh, yeah, yeah. It depends on the angle. It depends on the angle. Yeah. It's just, it's a gift from all of the angles, actually. It's really beautiful. So, it's like, it would be funny to describe it to somebody.

It's like, it looks like a hot dog and a bun. And a peach with wings. So we could say it is natiform, right? It is completely natiform and some other forms too. The American English speakers are calling it the flying butt and the Commonwealth UK friends are calling it the flying bung. So look that up, you guys. It's a cool piece of flying technology.

Aeronautic history. Being made. Maybe, maybe, if they can get it safely flown. So also big news, the Good Job Brain book is coming out. It is actually, I think it's finished printing. I think it's out of the printers now. And you can head on over to Amazon.com and search for the book, Good Job Brain, the book.

And there's an extensive look inside feature where you can preview actually a lot of pages of the book and check it out. All right, without further ado, let's jump into our first general trivia segment. Pop Quiz, Hot Shot. Here, I'm going to pick a rave.

I'm getting on. Is your nose an organ? Now I'm, now I'm doubting myself. Your tongue is an organ. No. Your tongue's not an organ. Wait. No, I don't know as an organ.

Not every part of your body can be an organ. No, I'm like it's a musical instrument, right? Hold on. We've got to get to. Chris is looking this up here. We've got to get to the bottom of this. Hey, Cortana, is the ear an organ? What is an organ? No, because it says like the cochlea is the hearing organ. Okay, so maybe it's.

Sure, sure. Sure. All right. Well, you guys, this week were episode 190. Wow. Wow. On the road to 200. The road to 200.

Come boys. Pack up your covered wagons. For nine more episodes, we got to do this. We got to do this now. Yeah. Every time. Wow. It's hard to believe.

And so since today is episode 190, listeners know that every fifth episode, we don't have a topic. And so we each prepared our own puzzles and quizzes to stump each other and stump you guys, listeners. And so today is our all-quiz bonanza number 38. Oh, my goodness. All right. Quiz Bonanza, who wants to go first? I'll go first. All right.

I have a quiz for you guys called, we're number two. Yay. We're number two. We're number two. This will be a write-in quiz just because I think it'll be more fun for me. So get your writing implements ready and your pad of paper. So the theme of this quiz is I'm going to talk about a lot of things where the number one or the record might be pretty well known. And this quiz is going to see is, can you guys guess or intuit or maybe you know who's number two?

So, for instance, for example, you know, I think you guys, if I said, you know, what's the tallest mountain in the world? You guys probably all are well aware it's Mount Everest. But if I said, you know, yeah. Yeah. But I said, what's the second highest peak in the world? You know, it's an example. It's a little trick here. This is an example.

The answer is K2. K2. Right. So that's, that's, that's an example. example of the kind of questions we'll be looking at here. I think a lot of these you guys will know. Some of them you'll have to make educated guesses. Oh, this is interesting. Some of them, some of them, some of them you have to just make wild guesses. I will tell you what is number one in the given category. And you have to tell me what is number two. Oh, you're not going to tell us the

category. I will tell you both. Oh, oh, okay. I thought you were just going to say the name of the thing. Let's get started. Let's get started. I think this will all be... I'm stalling for time. This will all be immediately clear. All right, well, we'll stick with the Olympics. So since the beginning of the modern Olympics, since they restarted the Olympics, let's say, in 1896, the United States of America has won the most medals, most medals overall, and most in any given category as well. 2,693, as of today, and that number is, of course, changing by the day. Now, this includes both the summer and the winter Olympics. So I want you guys to tell you. me what country is number two on the all-time Olympics medal count chart? Karen, I can tell

has a question. She's got her, I have a question face on. Yes. Does USSR count as the same country as Russia? No. You're welcome everybody. Yeah. Wow. What country is number two behind the U.S. on the all-time Olympic Games medal count. Man. All right, answers up, everyone. Dana says Russia. Chris says China. Karen says France.

None of you got it. Can we do it in the second guess? Karen is geographically. Yeah, can we do it? Well, I was going to put Germany, and then I was like, ah, but then there was the split. Dana is the closest. It is, uh, it is, it is, it is in fact the former Soviet Union. I was like, they haven't been Russia for that long.

Yeah. But I, but I chickened out. Yeah. They, it's, it is, uh, with, uh, 1,200 medals total overall, the former Soviet Union. Uh, and then third is Great Britain. Um, oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Russia is, current modern Russia. is number 10 on the list. So they're always pretty strong, that they have a ways to go to kind of work their way back up the list.

You added up all the countries that had been part of the USSR with Russia. Right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Next question. According to box office mojo, the world's highest grossing animated film all time is frozen. Disney's frozen.

It's made a lot of money. No surprise. Can you guys tell me what animated movie? The movie sits at number two, and I'll give you guys a hint. All right. It was released in the last five years. The number two top grossing worldwide animated movie, including traditional computer. Okay.

All right, answers up. Whoa. Oh, sorry. It was released in the last five years? Released within the last five years. And it said just any animated picture. Um, yeah, well, don't mean to rush you there, Chris.

Yeah, yeah, that was pretty bad. Karen and Dana committed pretty early there. Mm-hmm. I have two guesses, but I wrote down one. Okay. All right. All right. Karen says Shrek the third.

Chris says Toy Story 3. Dana also says Toy Story 3. Toy Story 3 was until very recently, was until last year the number two, but a movie from 2015 called Minions actually passed Toy Story 3.

I could not believe it either. Yep, Minions has a higher worldwide gross than Toy Story 3. Not by much, I should say. People love minions. People love the minions. And you know what? If you think about globally, it's like, man, you don't

really need language to understand the minions. That's true. Yeah. Next question. Moving right along. In our solar system, Jupiter is the largest planet, by a good bit. It's, it's, jupor's pretty big. What is the second largest planet in our solar system? Shoot, I was just looking at a picture. Well, you should be a pretty easy one in here.

No, no, that's the, that's the sad part, is that I didn't retain it. It was a cool picture, too. It is fun to see them all kind of lined up with each other. It's like, Earth is tiny. Yeah, it's not Earth. I'll give you a hip. It is not Earth. um zero points on the board zero points on the board still hey but you know what still anyone's game

all right answers up karen says saturn chris says neptune dana says saturn which is in fact the correct answer so point to karen and dana i thought that was a trick saturn no no tricks i was going to put it down because i remember they both had rings i was like oh the big ones all have right Yeah, that's even without the rings, just to be clear. Even without its rings, which are considered separate from the planet proper. Saturn is the second largest planet. Just came from the punch bowl. Right, yep.

And then, then closely behind, sorry, close together at 3 and 4 are Uranus and Neptune. They're pretty close in size. And then Earth. I like how you purposely said Uranus. London, England. Yes. You may have heard of it. It is the largest city in the EU by population.

A little over 8.5 million. Okay. What city is second largest in the EU? By population. By population. What? This is a major, major, well-known city in the EU. I'm not trying to trick you guys on any of these.

Just to be clear. I'm not trying to trick you guys. Okay. All right. It's just how well. can you reason. All right. Answers up. Chris says Paris. Dana says Paris. Karen says Paris. No, it is actually Berlin. Oh, Karen. Yeah. I feel like for a lot of these, it's going to be like, oh, that was my other chance. Yeah. Yeah, Berlin with a little bit over three million people,

second largest. So a bit of a drop-off from London. Yeah. In tennis, we got a sports question, but you guys can handle this. I'm sure you guys can handle this. In tennis. Australia's Court holds the record for most Grand Slam women's tournament singles titles. She won 25 of them. There are two women tied for number two on this list. They each have 22 Grand Slam finals. For one point each possible, you write down two names here. You can make up some ground in a hurry.

Tell me these two women, number two, on the list of most Grand Slam women's Tournament singles titles. they're very famous women I'll even give you guys a hint I'll even give you guys a hand one is retired and one is still active okay that's what I got okay all right

glad that helped Chris crossed his answers off a good hint should you know point you in the right direction that's right that's right these are famous tennis women all right second only to

Margaret court all right answers up Dana says says Serena Serena Williams Yes And Steffy Steffi G

Steffi Graff Yes Karen says Venus Assuming Venus Williams and Martina Assuming you mean Martina Navratorova

And Chris has put Serena Williams And Martina Navratilova You're like a hybrid With a couple extra Vs in there Yeah Chris is the hybrid I didn't know I didn't want to put too few Vs

So I went overboard Two points to Dana Oh Steffi Gras Serena Williams, still active, still kicking butt. I am reasonably confident that Serena is going to catch and probably pass Margaret Court in her career. Steffi Graff retired, of course, also a fantastic, fantastic great player.

So two points to Dana there. One point to... You're keeping points? Chris. You know, we'll see. We'll see here. All right. It's still...

We've got a ways to go. We've got a ways to go. And the last... What if the person wins is the second place? That's... Oh, I should have announced that. We're going for second place. That's good.

That's right. All right. According to pizza today. This is for Karen. I do some serious research, you guys. All right. According to pizza today, as of this past year, the largest pizza chain in the United States is Pizza Hut. Okay.

With more than $13 billion in sales. What pizza chain is number. is number two. Number two as in sales, total sales in the U.S. Not number of store franchises. Sorry, yes, to be clear, not number of franchises. And it's restaurants and not pizza manufacturers or anything like that. Right, from their pizza, right, yeah, it's not like, you know, heavy industry and pizza incorporated or something like that.

Yeah, yeah, yes, from their, from there, from there, right, right, yes, pizza chain right behind Pizza Hut. And Pizza Hut's been number one for a while. Oh. What pizza chain? Number two. I think my answer is wrong, but I'm going to say it because I feel clever. Okay. Okay.

All right. Our answers up. I'm not trying to trick you guys. All right. Answers up. Dana says Sparrow. Ooh. Okay.

They could say this is a lot of pizza in Times Square. Karen says Papa. And every airport. Yeah. In every airport. Karen says Papa Johns. And Chris, not thinking I'm trying to trick him, says Domino's, perhaps. It is dominoes.

I had dominoes. Dominoes, yeah. I'm overthinking all of these. I'm not trying to trick you guys. And to be fair, Karen, so Papa Johns was number three for the last couple years, although this past year Little Caesars passed Papa John's for number three on the list. Yeah, moving up the rank. Little Caesars's logo is, we're number three, but our pizza tastes like number two.

Oh, damn. Well, I just thought it was Papa Johns because they had a spike in increased revenue with all the new places popping up in Colorado. Ah, right. And other states that are special, like Colorado. Moving right along. The world's tallest building is the Burj Khalifa in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. What international city, global city, is home to the world's second tallest building?

See, I hate the tallest building questions because, like, there's, it's like, oh, do you count the antenna? There's, like, a freestand. There's all these, like, classifications. They all kind of try. Yeah, what did you major in again? Yeah. They fudge a little bit with the height.

Yes, depending on the one of the accounts, the freestanding spires, the antennas, but the outright order of the buildings is relatively non-controversial. All right. All right. Ready? And I'll tell you what, once you guys write down a city and a country, and in case you get the city wrong, but the country, right, I'll give you half a point, just in case it comes into play.

Well, now I don't feel like I... Wait, Birch Khalifa is where? Birch Kleefe is in Dubai, in the UAE. Second tallest building. It is not in the UAE. I'm not trying to trick you guys. Okay. You ready?

Answers, Karen, the architecture major, really stress in here. I'm going to cross this one. Okay, okay. Karen's scratched out Taipei, Taiwan, which was not correct. I'll give you that. Yes. That was in fact. At one point, it was the tallest building in Taipei 101.

You wrote Abu Dhabi. Chris wrote Tokyo. And Dana wrote Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The second tallest building is actually in Shanghai. In Shanghai, China, it is the Shanghai Tower. The Birch Khalifa is 2,700 feet tall. That's crazy tall. How much tall?

Half a mile. How much taller? The Shanghai Tower is just a little bit over 2,000 feet. So it's a good bit. It's a good bit second. Yeah. All right. Still a tight game. The spread is the spread is only one to three points. This is a low point game. You know, I have to say, I wasn't sure how this one was going to go. But all right, I liked it as competitive. All right, last question. Then we'll go into a bonus. So I'll keep it close for everybody. Last question. Another sports question. But I know you guys know this because we've talked about it before.

The New York Yankees, baseballs, baseball is New York Yankees. Thank you for clarifying the sport. Hold the record for most world. Series championships. They have won 27, 27 of them entering this season. Tell me what team is number two. We did talk about this. I'm the one who. This one comes up in trivia for us.

It's almost impossible for them to catch up. It would take them a long time. A long time to catch up. It would take them a long time. It would take them 16 years, in fact, of winning straight. Straight World Series. Yes. I'll even give you, yes.

So with 11 World Series championships, what team is sitting at number two? I don't know. Just channel the force, Dana. It's maybe stuck to the bottom of the punch bowl under the ladle. It might be like hiding. It might be like melted to the same thing. I can't get it off. Okay.

Answers up. Chris says the San Francisco Giants. Dana says the Chicago White Sox. Karen says, Chicago the second city I'll have to write team

it doesn't matter oh yeah I'll give you the blanket answer it is in fact the St. Louis Cardinal that's yeah

I knew like I had a C in mine I had a picture I had a C in mine and I just went directly to Chicago

I was like I could kind of imagine the line drawing of the icon Chicago, yes, there's Chicago Cubs and the Chicago White Sox, yes. I thought it was red, but I was like, it's not the Red Sox.

I love that so many of these are like the, oh, my second choice. It makes so much sense for a weird number two quiz. All right, all right. So because I like to keep things fun and close, I will have one bonus question here for you guys worth two points. So theoretically.

If Chris gets this point, Karen wins. Yes, right, right. All right. for two for two possible points okay you guys are all harry potter fans so i chose a oh sweet chose a harry potter related question as a possible tiebreaker but we'll make this the bonus sorry for two points so all right uh with with over 100 million copies sold harry potter in the philosopher stone is the top selling book in the harry potter series not surprising it's the first one it is the highest selling by a good site by by almost

40 million copies is, all right, which, for two points, tell me which sequel in the Harry Potter series is actually the second best selling. And I'll give you a hint. It may not be the one you think it is. So I will need the full novel name for this, but I know you guys all know that, whatever your answer is. Yes. Oh, man. For two points and possibly the game. Okay.

Okay, answers up. All right. Dana says Goblet of Fire, number four. Karen says half-blood Prince, which is number six. Chris says Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, number six. Karen and Chris are correct. It is, in fact, number six, the penultimate Harry Potter novel. Second place.

Tied with Carrie for second place. I did it on purpose in order to win. Game theory. Well played. Well played. My initial guest was Goblet Fart because I remember that was like mania. That's when I came on board was Goblet. Yeah.

And a big plot point happens in Half Blood Prince. But a lot of people want to own that book. I picked Half Blood Prince because that was really like internet. Because when Order of Phoenix came out, it was 2003, there were still a lot of people who were like, is it safe to buy things on the internet? With Halfblood prints, it was like Amazon did release day delivery with half-od prints. Yeah, yeah.

So it was really in that sweet spot. Oh, I see. That's why I picked that. I just guessed that Chris and Karen would know the answer to this because they're bigger Harry Potter fans. So I was like, I'll just put when I got on board with Harry Potter. Sure. I love it. All right.

Well, with the most points. on the paper, Chris, but this, the spiritual winner in second place, Dana and Karen. Yeah. All right, good job. We're number two. Woo.

Buy your online go pass ahead of the show at go transit.com slash tickets. All right, my turn. I have a quick quiz here. We love talking about colors, a couple episodes for a couple episodes, like colored names. And so what I did was I found all the funny sounding colors. to me that might be a little bit weird or obscure than most people don't know.

I'm going to say the name of the color and you have to write down what you think that color is. Oh, okay. Describe that color. Okay, okay. I had this exact same idea for a quiz. That's crazy. Really?

I was standing in the shower before I chose one number two. What if I do like, wait, for this episode? Yeah, for this exact episode when I was brainstorming. I was like, oh, I could do like fancy color name and you tell you like what family it is. That's amazing. It takes 190 episodes for you to have that. I didn't do any research already. Wow.

That's amazing. So, for example, I think in past episodes we talked about cool colors like puse and chartreuse. Yeah. A lot of these, a lot of colors in general are named after a plant, rather, whether if it's they get their dye or it looks like that plant. Some of these are plants. Some of these are not. But I want you guys to write down the what you think, the family.

of colors it's in and maybe you know if you want to describe kind of the way of okay some of these you can kind of guess some of them just sound really funny so without further ado let's start with our first color which is puke puke puke I feel like that would be a different color from barf. Like, if you ask me what color that one. Or vomit? Yeah, vomit's a different color, too. Puk.

It may mean what you think it means or may not. All right. Answers up. Chris, greenish. Dana says, P. Green, wow. Colin says, green base with strong gold slash brown overtone. Someone's a designer. puke is actually a dark brown color but does not refer to vomit puke um it refers to and this was

quoted in shakespeare for some of this plays uh puke was an old name for a woolen fabric in england so it's kind of like rugged okay or just kind of earthy yeah okay what are you working on today on your loom oh i'm making some puke i'm making a puke napkin all right Okay, next color. Puk sweater. Mikado. Mikado. Can you spell that, Karen?

M-I-K-A-D-O. Oh. Much like the opera. I'm glad you asked for the spelling. I was imagining, like, M-E-C-A-D-O. How would you actually pronounce that in Japanese? Mikado. Mikado.

Mikado. All right, answers up. Chris says, purple or whatever. Like, sorry, like comma, purple or whatever. Dana says red and Colin says reddish orange. It is yellow. I tried to look for the origin and I couldn't find it. Well, yellow has been a royal.

I mean, yeah, especially at Asian imperial color. Yeah, so maybe. Next color. And here's a hint. Dana might know this one because of her connections with a certain person from a certain country. Okay. All right. The color is Falu.

F-A-L-U. Oh. The pressure is not. I think this might be my new favorite color name. Falu. I'm sure I'm pronouncing it wrong. I have never heard it before. All right.

We went the opposite direction. Chris is just trolling. Chris says, red with red. Spots. Dana says blue. Colin says gold. And the clue is because Dei's fiancé is from Sweden and you guys just named Colors of the Flag. That's exactly what I did.

It is a deep red shade. Chris. Yes. Chris is actually red with red spots. Chris is accidentally right. This is the color they used to paint the barns in the Swedish city of Falun. Loon. Wow.

Yes. So, like, which is interesting because in the U.S. or in America, we associate barns with the color red as well. Barn red, yeah.

This is, for them, it's Falu red. Falu red. Falu red. Barn red. Barn Falu, I mean. All right. Next color is Labrador.

History never says goodbye. It just says. See you later. Edward Galeana was right when he said that. Events keep happening over and over again, in some form. And that's the reason I produced the podcast. My History Can Beat Up Your Politics. What is it?

We take stories of history and apply them to the events of today to help you, perhaps, understand them better. We are also part of Airwave Media Network. I've been doing the program since 2006. That's a long time, and the show has a long name. My history can beat up your politics. Find me wherever you get podcasts. All right, I'll end this episode with one of these things. I have done this quiz before, and what I have here is a copy of Dark Stories, the True Crime Edition.

a card game and what you know it's just a card and it one side it gives you a really basic kind of sentence uh like a describing a story and you have to ask me yes and no questions to get the full story okay so it's like a lateral thinking puzzle i've done this before but the full story is a true story yes these are all real stories some of them are celebrities and some of them are like famous stories that happen in the news ripped from the headlines but they're all weird They're all really weird. So, like, the statement is very general, but intriguing. And they ask me, yes, for no question to try to get the full story.

All right. So do we want celebrity or weird? We can only do one. You can only do one. I say weird. Okay. Yeah. Okay, weird.

All right. Here it is. The title is duped. Okay. The statement, a shopkeeper's desire to accommodate ruined him. And his hair A shopkeeper's desire to accommodate Ruin him

And his hair A question I have a question about this story Does it have anything to do with wind Or air? No Was the shopkeeper demonstrating some sort of product? He was demonstrating something

Okay Was the shopkeeper a barber? No Was the shopkeeper demonstrated something he sells? No. Was the shopkeeper... Sorry.

Was the shopkeeper demonstrating a service that he performs for someone? No. A little cut to the chase hint. Shopkeepers, what he shopkeepers is not important. Did the shopkeeper lose his or her hair through flame or explosion? No. Do the shopkeeper lose their hair? No.

Oh. Did something happen to the shopkeeper's hair, though? Yes. Yes. Did the shopkeeper's hair get... get bleached. No. Hmm.

Did the... This is a crime. Don't forget. This is a crime. So a crime is involved. Hey, you know, I solve crimes in my own way, Karen. I'll get there. So I was trying to accommodate someone and it ruined him in his hair.

Trying to accommodate. Okay, so so duped. Duped. Okay, so let's assume the shopkeeper is the one who was duped. So, wow. Ask me if that's true. Was the shopkeeper the one who was duped? Yes.

Okay. Was the person he was trying to accommodate the criminal in this situation? Yes. Did the criminal escape with an object of value? Yes. Including cash. Sorry. Did the criminal rob the store?

Yes. And not important what they stole. Okay. They robbed. Did the shopkeeper die? No. Was the shopkeeper blinded? Yes.

Was the shopkeeper blind? No. Did the shopkeeper obstruct his own vision? Like blindfold himself or blind himself? No. His view was obstructed. Oh. Okay.

You know what I mean? So there's like two of the... So did the criminal trick the shopkeeper into obstructing his own view? Correct. Did the criminal trick the shopkeeper into obstructing his own view with some sort of like glue or substance that would get all into his hair also? Was the substance a glue? No. Was the substance a paint?

No. was the substance sticky yes was it gum no was it tar no was the substance a poison of some kind was it maple syrup

is it something you could eat was it molasses yes so it was her face lit up and said no okay so it was molasses I don't I cannot get to how did the criminal trick the guy

into putting molasses on on his head was the was the shopkeeper's head ever in a barrel of molasses? Was molasses poured on the shopkeeper's head? No. Did the criminal trick the shopkeeper into putting molasses on his hands and then subsequently putting his hands on his face?

Close, but not exactly. He wanted to accommodate. The shopkeeper wanted to accommodate this guy. So we must have come up with some kind of question or like, you know, demonstrate. Because the shopkeeper was demonstrating something, right? Right. To accommodate. I don't know.

I don't know how we're going to... All right. So molasses is involved, trying to accommodate... Here's a hint. Okay. There's an article of clothing involved. Hmm. Is it something he wears on his head?

Yes. Is it a hat? Yes. Okay. So there's a hat involved. You guys have all the key pieces down. Accommodate hat, blinded molasses. Was it molasses in the hat?

Yes. Okay. Did he put the hat on his head? Did the guy know that there was... molasses in the hat the shopkeeper yes the shopkeeper knew there was molasses in the hat did it on his head anyway did the criminal in some way challenge or bet yes with the shopkeeper that that's he'd be able to get the molasses here's the classic like I bet you the old molasses hat I bet you can't I bet you can't staple your hand to the wall right the shop owner was a victim of the molasses gang

Who, in the 1870s, would enter small shops in New York and play a mean trick. Several members of the gang would enter the store, and one of them would ask the shopkeeper to fill his hat with molasses in order to settle a bet about how much the hat would hold. When the shopkeeper accommodated the strange request by filling the hat to the brim, the crook would then pull the hat over the shopkeeper's head, while the shopkeeper's eyes filled with sticky syrup. gang would rob him and his shop blind. So he wouldn't put... Oh, my goodness. There you go. What a mean-spirited gang of, yeah.

Well, at least they didn't use violence. That was pretty violent. It's kind of violent. But, like, it's just so, it's also so classic and old-timey. Yeah, it is, it is. We love molasses on the show, so I couldn't pass up. Oh, grandpa, you're so funny. The old molasses in your hat.

The old molasses haberdashery, one, two. All right, good job, guys. Well, I'm surprised you guys got that one was the harder one of the two. That's kind of ridiculous. Should we do another one? No, without that. Okay, all right. All right. And that's our show.
