You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, crazily, crafty, cranial croissants, cream puffs, and queen of mons. Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your quirky quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 205, and of course, I'm your heart. Humble host, Karen, and we are your Assembly of Associates ascertaining Assorted Assorted Assorting Assorted Assorted Assets. Ooh, I'm Colin. I'm Dana.

And I'm Chris. Before we begin, we have another installment of our famous errors, omissions, and corrections segment. A little something we like to call. Um, actually. Um, actually. What you said just wasn't true. Um, actually. Do you mind if I correct you?

Because actually, factually, and quite enthusiastically, I was right. And you were wrong. That's exactly what inspired me to write this um, actually song. You were wrong. I have an um, actually from our last episode three years ago. We've had some callbacks with listeners have sent some stuff in, but I don't think we've had one this far back.

So now you guys can rest easy. This is not a correctioner. clarification on any of you. This is actually a small gripe I have with the trivial pursuit question that we had. This is how petty I am, just in case you're a new listener, yeah. And all of these trivial pursuit cards are like 20, 30 years old anyway. So the, yeah, the timeline of this grudge is extensive. Quite long.

Yeah, and you know, it's really, this is one of those where it's not wrong, but I think it's just a bad question, which in some ways is worse than being wrong. So I went back, you know, we were getting the band back together. Let me just lay some context. And so I went back to listen to our most recently posted show, which was Go West. Karen, at the top of the show, you had our Trivial Pursue Questions. And the question was, what was the name of the band Jim Morrison was invited to join before the doors were formed? Then the answer was, the answer that was Rick and the Ravens.

I even said on the air, I'm like, oh, huh, I'll have to look them up. I've never heard anything about them. And you did. And I did. And I did. And I'm so mad when I did because this is a question. The way the question sounds like, it's like, oh, what other band did Jim Morrison turn down before he joined the doors? Right?

I mean, like, that's how I interpret it. So I looked up Rick and the Ravens, all right? Rick and the Ravens was just the band that turned into the doors. It's like Rick and the Ravens was a going concern as a band. they invited Jim Morrison to join the band. He did, and then some of the other members left and they changed their name to the doors. It's basically the story of it.

So that's my complaint. I can sleep easy tonight. We will forward it on to the Trivial Pursuit Corporation. They can find the person who wrote it, who's probably dead of extreme old age. We'll see if they can find a person who cares and they'll get back to you, Colin. Well, speaking of Trivial Pursuit,

Without further ado, let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot. This is where I select a random card from the Trivial Pursuit box and ask you some questions. You guys all have your barnyard buzzers buzz in with the answer. Here we go. Blue Wedge for geography. When East Pakistan separated from West Pakistan, it formed which country? That was Colin. I think that was Bangladesh, yes?

Correct, Bangladesh. Pink Wedge for pop culture. In the film, Jurassic Park, where did the dinosaur DNA come from? Everybody. A mosquito, a mosquito they found in amber. Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry, sorry, yeah. I am more correct.

But you are technically correct. Mosquitoes preserved in amber. Not to be confused with the frog DNA, they're hermaphroditic. Spoilers, that's the twist. Spoilers. Life finds a way. All right, Yellow Wedge. Which three countries are part of the largest free trade region in the world created

when NAFTA went into effect on January 1st, 1994? Colin again? I'm pretty sure that's Canada, Mexico, and our very own United States of America. Correct. Purple Wedge. What is the name of the mongoose in Kipling's The Jungle Book? Oh, Chris. No, past.

I was thinking of a different mongoose book. I figured there was one book with a mongoose. Ricky tiki tiki. Oh, Rikiki Tavi. Is that it? Is that it? Dato is correct. Is Ricky Tiki Tavi.

That's what I was going to say. That's a different. I thought it was a different book, huh? It was like, in my mind, it sounds, I'm like, oh, yeah, that's what it is. And then as I'm saying it, I'm like, this is definitely not what it is. Did I make this up? I may have made this up. It sounds like.

Green Wedge. An NSA surveillance program unnervingly shares a name with which nefarious computer network in the sci-fi classic Terminator. Chris. Skynet. Skynet in all caps. Scott and net. Last question, orange wedge.

Which pasta is wider? Isn't orange sports and leisure? I guess this is leisure. Which pasta is wider? Hold on. This is a multiple choice question, right? Yes. It's not just open-ended.

No. Fettuccini or linguini. No interest. Chris. Fetichina. Correct. Yeah, okay. Yeah, okay.

The word it means little ribbons. Sure. And today's show, we're episode 205, and every fifth episode, we do something what we call an all-quiz bonanza, where we all prepare our own quizzes, no specific topic, and we're going to try to stump each other and stump you guys, listeners. So today is our all-quiz bonanza number 41. Who wants to go first? So in the couple of years, the interim, between the last episode and these new episodes, my child continued to grow up.

Not that he is six, he is really starting to get into certain things and learning about stuff and developing his own interests. In fact, we'll come up to me and start asking me questions about stuff that he learned. And I'm like, I don't know. And this is really destroying his formerly held opinion of me as the person who knew everything.

You know, you could ask me. You know, so now I wrote this quiz for you guys. This quiz is called Stuff My 6-year-old knows. Oh, no. Basically, I did this because I knew that he actually knows the answer to each of these questions. And I told him what we were going to be doing. I said I was going to ask my friends these questions. and he said, well, they're not six years old, so they might not be able to.

It's true. It's true. But they might. So we're going to see. He gives you a chance of maybe getting these right. So here we go. Stuff my six-year-old knows. Get your barnyard buzzers ready.

We're going to buzz in for these ones. And here we go. If they're really hard, can we work together? Could it be three of us versus your six-year-old? Oh, okay. If you want to, oh, okay, so what? It's like the chase. You're going to gang up on him.

Yes, okay, he's the chaser. Sure, yep. Okay, let's see how you guys do. Okay, question number one. What author wrote books such as don't let the pigeon drive the bus and the pigeon finds a hot dog? Oh. I know this one because my daughter, three-year-old, is reading these books too. These are Mo Willems.

Mo Willems. That's a great name. Oh, my God. Man, Mo Willems has an empire of kids' books. Good job, Colin. Good job, Colin. Yes, excellent books. Go team.

The Pitchin Fines a Hot Dog. It's an understated masterpiece. I really love Pigeon Fines a Hot Dog. Question number two, what game are you playing if you're fighting an Ender Dragon? All right. Now, this is scoped to Chris's son's knowledge. That's true. Minecraft, Minecraft.

Team answer. Correct. Team answer. You ganged up on him and you got it right. Question number three, where would you find the three smallest bones in your body? Oh, I know. Yeah, I know. Oh, Karen, it has now decided that it's a buzzing thing.

Go for it. The ear. I don't know what the scientific name, but I know one is like the hammer. The hammer. The hammer and one is syrup. Yeah, right, yeah. There's the common names and the scientific names. Collins said one, stapies.

There's the hammer, the anvil, but then right, then stapies. So it's the, the malleus is the hammer. Yes. The incis, the inchus is the anvil, and the stapies is the stirrup. Okay. And those are the three, the ossicles, the osicles, the ear bones, the three smallest bones in the body are in your ear. Okay, acoustic, ocelia, okay.

All right, you know so much about the human body. Question number four, where in the body would you find the hepatitis? flexure and the splenic flexure. Wow, I've never, I wonder if it's the fingers because, but maybe that's something else because I know haptic touch is. Aren't the hips? It's not hepatic. It's hepatic.

Aren't the flexors in your hips? Aren't there muscle groups called flexors and your hips? Yeah. There may be, although I said flexure. Yeah, I'm just, wow. We're just looking for the words. Talk it out. Yep.

It's like working out and running, it's like I know that. the muscle groups and I've I've literally never heard of what were the two terms of flexure the hepatic flexure and the splenic flexure spleenic flexure spleen like spleen hepatic hepatic is livery okay yeah is that like gag reflex or some sort of like regurgitation puke muscles or something no it's got to be the I will give you a hint the the flexures are not they're not muscles. They are, they are describing curves in a certain part of the human body. Yeah. He's a, he's a six-year-old. Oh, do you think they're fingerprints, maybe? I think, oh. You're onto something with hepatic and splenic? Yeah. But curve. Sure. Okay, so I'll tell you. The

hepatic flexure and the splenic flexure are points at which your large intestine curves. Oh. Your large intestine is kind of shaped if you imagine like a a lowercase letter N. It's the curves. I am only asking you this because there is, I swear, a video all about the large intestine that he watched and he can now name you all the parts of the large intestine in order without needing a fancy mnemonic for it or anything like that. It's wild.

I'm going to give you one more, one more human body question. Where in your body would you find lingual papillet? Oh. Your tongue? That's so, yeah. Dana said it. Tongue. Yeah.

Dana got it right. Yes, yes, yes, your tongue. Those are your taste buds. You know, I learned about that when I was six as well. Like for the Science Fair, when I was in kindergarten, we made a giant human tongue with like the bitter area. Next question. Fill in the blank.

Fill in the blank. Okay. Seri's macke-make, haemae, heiress, and blank. Seres, macke-make. Repeat again. Okay, yeah, of course. Fill in the blank. C-E-R-E-S-E-M-E-M-A-A-M-A-A-M-A-A-M-A-A-M-A-A-R-I-S, and

Blank. These are, I think they're moos. Are they moons? They're a mix of culture named, like Seris and ERIS, and I mean, there's some clearly, like, Hawaiian ones in there. It sounds like... Do you think they're moons? Maybe it's I-O-O- is the moon. Yeah, my guess is, yeah, my guess is something scientific. Yeah, volcanoes is a good guess too.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll give you a little bit of a hint. What they taught us in school about this area of study is different than what they will teach kids today in school about this area of study. Oh. Space. But I'm going to tell you what this is. Fill in the blank.

Seris, Maci, Maci, Haumea, Eris, and Pluto are the. Dwarf planets? The five dwarf planets currently known to exist in our solar system. Okay. Okay. Okay. So final question, final question, now that we know what we're talking about here, what is the difference between a planet and a dwarf planet?

Oh, man. I remember, like, Neil deGrasse Tyson. I remember, like, Neil deGrasse Tyson explained it so simply. It's, I don't remember. It's not size? It's not just the size, right? Doesn't it have to be fully under the capture? of the gravity of our system or something like that?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're close. Yeah, yeah. So basically the idea is a dwarf planet does not clear out its own orbit. Oh, okay. There should be nothing around the orbit of the, so a planet will be big enough to suck in all that stuff and clear out its whole orbit, whereas a dwarf planet is not big enough to do that.

So if it can't, that's why Pluto kind of went back and forth, because it's not that we didn't know how big Pluto was it's about observing its orbit and is Pluto able to kind of clear out its whole orbit and then they kind of discovered that in fact it is not. I remember that term now, sweep, sweep its orbit. It doesn't sweep its orbit.

Yeah, clear its neighborhood. So this was a extremely biased quiz, obviously, because I only selected questions. I knew that my child knew, but now you know what he's getting up to these days. Yeah, he won. Getting up to you he wins. Yeah, even against three

adults. So I'm sure he'll be thrilled. So I have a quiz here for you. It is very, very silly and it is very, very tortured. We used to have this type of quiz before called before and after. We've seen this on Wheel of Fortune. We've seen it on Jeopardy where the answer is two things and they share the same word in the middle. So for example, I think a previous question I had was, you know, Tina Turner actress's favorite dog breed. And the answer is Angela Bassett Hound. Okay. Angela Bassett, before and after, you get the Bassett and the Bassett Hound.

So I did something even crazier. I'm calling it the before and after club sandwich because I've now taken famous names, three famous names where they share the same words in the middle. I need an example. And this all happened because I saw someone's Twitter handle and I was like, wow, this is really clever. My example would be Rizzo from Greece goes to a magic mic show with the youngest person ever to win a competitive Oscar.

So Chris God, but you know, so I'm my. clue will clue in its three parts. So the first part will be the first name and then the second name and the third name. Really, in the spirit of this quiz, you just need the first name and the third name because the second name is going to be a, you know, a freebie. Oh, I guess. I guess, yeah. Chris, again, the example clue is Rizzo from Greece goes to a magic mic show with the youngest

person ever to win a competitive Oscar. And Chris, your answer is? Stalker Channing Tatum O'Neil Correct Stalker Channing Channing Tatum Yep Tatum O'Neil

Okay Got it I saw three sets Three names Got it Okay Who What was the inspiration for this

So I saw some guy on Twitter His handle is heavy Underscore Trooper And his name is Carol Channing Tatum O'Neil I thought it was Yeah I thought Yeah I thought

Cal Channing might be a little bit out you know outside of the pop culture realm so I put in stocker chanting and stuff but you know the same spirit of things for all those people who know Greece but not hello dolly is what you're worried about right for that like

huge Venn diagram here we go and I'll give you some extra clues too I'm telling you these are these are hilariously tortured here we go okay for this one all them are musicians here's my clue at last

this fire and Rain Singer is going to let her finish her award speech. I believe that is Chris again. Edda James Taylor Swift. Yes. Edda James Taylor Swift. So at last, Edda James, Fire and Rain. James Taylor.

Let her finish her award speech, of course, is Kanye and Taylor Swift. Okay, okay. Some of these I had to use like full name. So this is an example where I'm using a proper name. Anyways, here we go. Don't play any wicked games about gravity with this former Republican House speaker. Ooh. Dana.

Chris Isaac Newton, Gingrich. Yes. Yes, yes. New Gingrich, his full name is Newton. Oh, okay. Okay, here we go. Would be cool to see Ray Skywalker in an alien movie with X-Men Cyclops. What's her name?

Would be cool. Okay. Dazzy Ridley, Scott, X-Men. Oh, what the heck? Oh, I just had it. I mean, that was where I was, too. I got five, six of the way through it. What is Cyclops' human name?

If I didn't know the answer, I would simply not buzz in. Okay, that's right. Yes, yes. Thank you. Thank you, Chris. Daisy Ridley Scott Summers. Correct. Daisy Ridley Scott Summers.

It's like James Marsden, but that's wrong. Yep. Daisy Ridley Scott Bayo. So Ray Skywalker, Daisy Ridley, Alien movie of famously directed by Ridley, X-Men Cyclops. Yes, James Marsden is the actor, but Cyclops is human name

in the comics is Scott Summers All right we have another a bit of a comic book reference here the second African American

U.S. Supreme Court Justice and Batman's dad with whose line is it anyways favorite? Chris. Okay.

Clarence Thomas Wayne Brady. Correct. Okay. Correct. Clarence Thomas, Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's dad

and Wayne Brady. All right. Our last one. He's a mall cop, a makeup artist, YouTuber, and The Round Mound of Rebound. Okay. Okay, so I don't know the middle one, but it has got to be Kevin James Charles Barkley. Correct. Kevin James, Paul Blart, the mall cop, James Charles, a famous YouTuber, makeup artist, and Charles

Charles Barkley. So as you predicted Karen, the middle one can be simply a gimmie if you don't know it. Exactly, exactly, exactly. That's good assembling on that one. That's fun. I like reading it out. Yeah. That's Karen's happy place, though, like doing that, making those kinds of associations.

You really enjoy quizzes like that. Tortured? No, like combining names and, you know, puns and stuff like that, yeah. Yeah. Long Bandy Twizzler's Candy keeps the fun going. Keep the fun going. Twizzlers, keep the fun going.

Okay, I've got a word nerd quiz for you all. I was playing around on the Merriam-Webster website. They have a feature on there called the Time Traveler, where you can basically look up all the words that entered the English language in a given year. And, of course, by entered English, what we mean is, was officially recorded in a dictionary. I mean, by definition, all words are in, you know,

someone's using them before they're officially recorded. So, yeah, so it's kind of like, you know, the year it becomes an official, you know, heavy quotes word. That kind of inspired me is I put together a quiz of what are to us very common everyday English words and phrases, but have not always been in the English language. So I'm going to give you a word or maybe a two-word phrase. You're going to make your best guess,

what year this word entered the language? And our authority for these, so it's not just my word, we will be using Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster for these. Okay, so they will say this is the earliest recorded reference they can find for a given word or phrase. Okay. Okay. Now, the fun for me of this quiz is, I want to hear you guys try and reason this out, right?

I mean, so, for example, if I give you the word website, you know, okay, okay, well, it can't be any sooner than computers were invented, but yeah, okay, it's got to be, you know, after the internet was around for a while. So, and in order to make this fair, the way we're going to be scoring this is I'm going to allow you all to guess, whoever guess is closest to the year will get the point. We will go in turn, so you all have a chance to go first. You all have a chance to go last. So no buzzers We'll go around And then I will keep track as we go And this is Collins' happy place Which is like elaborate set of rules

Fairness Okay All right First term here Junk mail Junk mail When did junk mail Enter the English language

And we'll go in order here I'll Karen I'll let you guess first So you can put the first pin down But you can all sort of work it out together if you want to. Yeah, junk mail. I mean, obviously, garbage pamphlets, I'm sure people got that, you know, for centuries now. But like, when do you call it something sent? I feel like it must be like mailed rather than just stuffing pamphlets and mailboxes. Right. Oh, I want to say, 1971.

And let me also add, I hope this doesn't change your guess. I'll also add, These are almost all, almost all words from the last 150 years or so. I'm not going too far back. And almost all of them are 19 something something. Okay. So Karen says 1971 for junk mail. Chris, what do you say? Junk mail.

First recorded use in English. I'm going to say maybe a little, Karen, you're locked in. I'm sorry. It's on your little price is right thing. I'm going to say a little early. I mean, I'm still going to say maybe it's post-World War II. you know, that's when economic prosperity allowed people to just print up garbage and just blast it out in people's mailboxes or like pre-sorting mail or being able to send things to occupant of this house.

I mean, but it could happen earlier too. I don't know. I'll say, I'll say 1930. So I'm going to say pre-war II, but I'm going to say it maybe 1930. Okay, 1930, Chris. All right. Dana, what do you think? Junk mail? I liked the whole post-World War II. two thing, kind of bought that. Maybe I'll say, uh, 55 to kind of hedge it a little bit later, but still in that area. All right. Yeah, there's something about like, Chris touched on like automation or like batch printing. Uh, the big reveal.

Junk mail, 1921. Oh, 1921. Yeah, early. Yeah, I was surprised. I, I think certainly a time of economic prosperity. and, you know, heightened technology and advertising, consumerism. And, yeah, the reference in OED, actually, it appears that their earliest record reference was from a U.S. Senate hearing, representatives of the post office talking about it.

And, you know, they're saying, just saying, like, we have to deal with all of this. Like, we need more Amazon and appropriations hearing. They're like, we need more money. There's all this junk mail. We need help. All right. So, Chris, a nine-year, a nine-year delta there for Chris. All right.

Next word. Next word. What year did the word windshield? Windshield. Enter the English language. Windshield. And so we're going to rotate here. So Chris, why don't you go first for this one? Okay. I'm going to say like 1871. If I'm giving a little too much away to my competition here, but I'm thinking it might even be like horse and buggy predating automobiles, but we'll say. Okay. Okay. All right. All right. Dana, what do you think? Windshield. Do you think, do you agree with Chris before the car or you think it has to come after the car? What do you think? I'm going to pin it to the car, but early in the car. I want to say like 1907, something like that. All right, 1907 Dana. All right. Karen, what do you think? Windshield. I was thinking before car, maybe like bicycle. I'm going with 19. My original was 1901. 1901 okay wow you guys man all right windshield entered english in 1902 Karen one year off right

right in line with the automobile pretty much coming in okay just just so just keep this in mind if it comes down to a tiebreaker maybe we'll do it as a bonus point I'm going to do lowest total deviation all right well what within Collins wheel house yeah there's I I guarantee you just email me I'll send you the rules. You can follow along. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope to Colin Felton, the shed, Berkeley, California.

What year? What year did the term, high five get officially recorded? Officially recorded. OED and Merriam-Webster both agree. High-five. High-five. And Dana, why don't you go first on this one?

Hi-five. There was that song about the hand jive that came out. So, like, people were talking about doing hand stuff. Hand stuff. I'm sorry. Karen's doing the hand jive by yourself in the laundry room. We're all just watching. This is tricky, though.

It's like, well, when did they agree? that this was worth noting. Yeah. I'm going to say, I'm going to say 1955. I'm going to put it as like a 50s kind of thing. Okay. All right.

Dana, say, high five. 1955. She's on to something where I feel like it's popularized by some sort of song or a trend. To me, it seems more like early 80s breakdancing culture, maybe even earlier. Let's say 1972. Okay, Karen, 972 for a high five.

I'm going to be petty. I'm going to say 1954. I love it. I love, I love the undercutting. All right. It is, in fact, this is later than I thought. I was surprised to see that this was in my lifetime. 1980.

Holy God. Yeah. It's the earliest recorded. These are some whack people running the dictionary. I swear, there are people saying, And give me five, didn't, maybe I'm having a Mandala effect, but I swear it's not high five, but that's different. Give me five, this is high five.

Even more casual version of a high five, you know what I mean? No, I mean, but your point, I think Dana is totally correct that, yeah, something is going to be, you know, slang or common use in whatever subculture, whatever group before it becomes the sort of the mainstream. I think the more recent, the more recent it is, the faster it'll be added to the dictionary, right? I think that's true. Because it gets recorded very, very quickly.

Because, in fact, sometimes people invent a word and then it goes in a tweet and then it's recorded. Whereas high five, where, I mean, even if it was much earlier than that, it's when did somebody write it down and when did that writing survive long enough for it to make it to the people who put it in the dictionary? And in fact, I will tell you exactly what it is because the OED preserves these. So the answer, Karen said, who knows? I will tell you who knows. It was a sports article, in fact, which makes sense. I was an article about Greg Luzinski, a slugger for the Philadelphia Phillies. You know, this could change later on if a source is discovered that was earlier than that

that used high five in print. So who knows? This is going to be an example of a quiz where good job, brain listener, you might change the answer. If you have a reference at home, if you have a printed reference, you can send it into the dictionary and they will in fact update their reference. For sure. If you can document it, that's what the all about. Yeah. All right. Here's the only direct foreign loan word. Okay. Okay. So, this is a word that I know you all know. The question is, when did it come from its native language into English? Emoji. Emoji. What year? What year was the first English language recorded use of emoji? And we will go, Chris, perhaps appropriately our team, our team Japanese.

authority. I'll say uh 2,000. All right. No. Well, we'll see. You'll have your chance here. Yeah, emoji. I remember when everybody called them emoticons and then all of a sudden they became emojis. And I'm wondering if that's when it got recorded after emoticons or if emoticons even made it. So I'm going to say 2005. Karen, what do you think here? Emoji to me, I think, was a almost like a branded name of the keyboard, like of the unicode keyboard of the different emoji symbols. So I think way later, I think it's probably 20, 10. Yeah. I'm speaking about that too.

Okay. All right. Okay, we have your answers recorded here. Chris is in fact the closest. but you were all too late. You were all too late. Emoji 1997, 1997 in the English language version of the Niki Weekly. Emoji is a Japanese word.

It means literally pictograph, the root, E, picture, moji, letter, character, so character picture. Has nothing to do with emotion. It has nothing to do with emoticon. It has absolutely nothing to do with emoticon, probably just purely. coincidental that... Interesting. Okay.

Moving right along. Hip-hop. What is the earliest recorded reference that the OED and Webster's can agree is hip-hop in English? These words are going to be in use before someone can find a printed reference to them. So that's what you've got to think. Like how long... It's been around long enough that someone can have a reference to it. Hip-hop.

What year, Dana? 1883 for Dana. Okay. Karen, what do you think? I'm around the same era where it's like Sugar Hill Gang, so I'm going to go with 1979. Okay, 1979 for Karen. Chris. Great clustered here.

78. I like the thinking. I like it. I love it. I love it. All right. Karen, there's like, no three. On the nose.

Oh. Not only, Karen, not only on the nose with the year, but with their earliest reference in OED is, in fact, the lyric, Wonder Mike, Joker Hill Gang, Rappers Delight. So it's funny to me to go to OED and see printed in OED, said a hip hop to hibbit, the hibbit, hip, hip, hopper, you don't stop. Yes, it is. Yes.

Karen, man, not going to beat a zero difference. Okay. Glitch. Glitch. What's the earliest recorded, the earliest recorded use of the term glitch? When did that kind of become big time? I'll say, 1982. All right.

I was going around that, too. Glitch is the name of the Twitch logo. That's right, your old, your mascot. Yeah, I'm going to say, 1988, five. 805. There's like four different letters in there. 1980s. Does that catch an F?

S in there? There was an S, I think, yeah. Glitch, glitch, glitch. What do you think, Chris? I did, um, sounds like hacker language. Sounds like MIT guys, maybe, you know, sort of thing. So I'll guess, um, I was thinking video games, but, yeah, I'll get, well, I mean, it's got to be like, I'll say, 1963.

1963. Chris, incredible. One year off. No, no. 1962, yeah. What was it describing? The earliest site is credited to astronaut John Glenn. Oh, describing, describing basically just, you know, some of the things you have to deal with,

you know, being an astronaut or being in the space program. Yeah, and he described it as a glitch as a spike or change in voltage in a circuit that puts a new load on it. And you can see how it kind of just spread out from there. Yep. This might be appropriate for our past year. dumpster, what is the earliest recorded use of the word dumpster? Well, earliest recorded use.

Karen. It must be tied to some sort of like a civic, you know, mass garbage disposal plan. Yes, yes. Right, where there are industrial dumpsters. I'm going to guess, how did they do trash in the old days? I don't know. They just throw it in a corner. But let's say post-World War II, 1949.

1949. Chris, what do you think? I know that dumpster, I mean, I think even now is a trademark. It's a capitalized trademark, you know, brand. I don't know if it grew out of a genericized term that they trade. I'm probably not. How about like 1960? Okay, 1960.

Dana, what do you think? Dumpster. it's a great word it's pleasing to say what did you say Karen Karen is on 1949 Chris 1960

I'll say 1948 that's something earlier 48 I like it and that's for the for the point Dana because it is in fact 1937

and as Chris as Chris mentioned it is in fact the only word on our list that was at one point a trademark Yes, it was the Dempster, dumpster. Yes.

Yes, yes. The Dempster brothers. They came up with the word dumpster because it's similar to their last name. They named after themselves. They took their own name, put a trash spin on it. Like, you know what? Kind of sounds like dumped, doesn't it? Like, yeah, it does.

Like, yeah. They found their reason. So good job, everybody. Good job. I think overall, Karen, I think, walked away with the victory. Good job, everybody. And let's take a break. I have a surprise for you guys.

It is a listener male. This email is from Wilson. He says, Hi, Colin Dana, Karen, and Chris. I first started listening at some point in 2015, and it was introduced by my brother, Colton. In episode 159, Chris said,

someone should take a tally of all the points in all the episodes. even though I had only listened to a few episodes at that point, I decided that I was going to be the one to do it. Oh, I don't want to know. He says, it took me a while to get around to it, but I started tiling on a sheet of paper in 2016. I got pretty far. Then I lost the sheet of paper.

In that case, many sheets of paper. And last year, I decided to start again, this time decided to keep track with a document on my phone. It's taken just over a year for me to have a complete number of all the points procured per person for every episode released so far. Wilson, kudos. Absolutely incredible undertaking. Without further ado, let's get into the numbers. I like to start off with some honorable mentions that is guests on the show throughout the years.

So he did the guests. This is comprehensive. Oh, man. Very comprehensive. That's interesting. Chris Culler, Sr. and Pamela Culler, which is Chris's parents, quote, voice from the back from our live show. I guess someone in the audience does something right. Chris, your wife is in here, Regina. And then Courtney, who is our friend who was in earlier episodes. Of course, our friend Tyler Hidman, who's in a couple of episodes. He is the lead for all the honorable mentions the guests at 25 points. To begin, we'll start with a subtotal. Oh, okay.

Collins in the lead with 2294. Wait, 22. He has 2294? 2,294? 2,2194 points? Yes. Wow. We've been doing this too long.

And then we should have stopped. I don't think I have 2,294 of anything else in my entire life. Got answers. That's how many. Wow. Okay. All right. Okay.

So Colin, you win. Congratulations. Who's in? in second. Keep in mind, this is subtotal. Subtotal of what? Well, I'll get there. Oh, my goodness. Okay. Okay. Chris, you're in second place.

1,960 points. So you're you know, 300 or so, 400 shy. Striking distance. So I got a shot at this. And me and Dana are in third and fourth place. Okay. But again, I want to say this is subtotal.

And there's a reason for that because Wilson says, now here is where it a little more fun. Throughout the episodes, you've all given various gold stars, bonus points, cap points, fractional points, and at least one conditional semi-point. And there has even been the occasional point subtraction. All these change the scores of everyone in one way or another to varying degrees. And this is where he cites every instance of stars or conditional points subtractions, it's a big list. And I'll put this online somewhere. But the one I want to call out is Colin got negative 439 points because Dana says, you got this wrong, so you lost all your

points. So everything I'd accumulated up to that point was just wiped out. Yes. So Chris is now in the lead. Dana, Dana, the kingmaker. I'm in the lead. I never lost 400 points at once. This is a list. You know, I'm a negative. One cast dispel and you lose all your points. Let's see. He says, as of March 7th, 2021, the current point total is as follows. In fourth place, Dana at 1,632 points and two gold stars, me in third place, with only a hair more, 1,800 points.

and only one gold star, first place is Chris with 1,965 points. I'm sorry, Colin, you got knocked to the second place. Actually, it's pretty close. So Chris with 1,965, Colin with 1,855. So I just want to say here, because you have one-tenth of a point. Everyone who's not named Dana looks at 1,000 points. as of right now. That's how it works.

We've progressed into Calvin Ball. It's always been Calvin Ball. Thank you so much, Wilson. That's amazing. Can we put that online? Yes, yes. I will put this online somewhere, made all of Wilson's work live on and on and on.

I think it's Dana's turn. That's right. During the pandemic, I've noticed a lot of people have gotten into true crime stories, like murders and cults and all sorts of things. Like, if you look on Netflix, there's a ton of documentaries. about things. My true crime flavor of choice, though, is scams. I love scams. I don't want to be a scammer. I don't want to be the victim of a scam, but I really find it fascinating to see. I think I'm, I find the confidence. Grifting. The grifting, yeah, hoodwinking people, just tricking

them. It's very interesting to see how people get tricked into doing things. So I decided to make a quiz about the topic of the year that I've been really into. So I'm going to do scams. A quiz where you buzz in. I tried to not, I tried not to be too inside scam baseball for y'all. For you for you scam heads out there. Yeah. If you're if you're really into scams, this is easy. And if you know a bit about scams, this will be a probably a good level of difficulty. Here we go. All right. We've all heard the phrase con man or con job. before. What is con short for? I think I heard the dog bark first. Yeah, Karen. I saw everything. Confidence. Yes. Confidence. Yes. Confidence. It was coined by a New York Herald reporter in

1849 describing the rest of this guy who he got his victims to express confidence in him by giving them their money or their watch. You know, he's like, don't you trust me? I always, thought it was because the person is so confident, not that they, people confide in him. You need to be confident. You need to be a good. Is that an egg corn? I don't know. Well, it's all the scam is always, you know, you and me, we are going to scam this other guy,

you know, and I'm taking you into my confidence and we're going to scam this other guy, but really it's you, right? Yeah. Okay. So which famous New York landmark completed in 1850? is part of a common idiom about scamming people. Chris. The Brooklyn Bridge.

Oh, that's right. Somebody would go around with fake deeds to the Brooklyn Bridge saying, hey, I'll sell you the Brooklyn Bridge. I have the deed for it right here. And people believe that? Yeah. So there was a con man named George C. Parker, who's really known for selling the Brooklyn Bridge.

Other people tried it too. But his grift was, hey, I know how to build bridges, but I don't run bridges. And so you get to have a toll booth on the bridge and you can charge people going, you know, across both ways. And then you just make money. And so like for years after it was up, the police had to come get people off of the bridge

who were trying to set up toll booths. Set up a kiosk on the bridge. Yeah. Give me some money. I own this bridge. Imagine the poor sucker who keeps paying these tolls, you know. Well, they can't get across. Yeah, just victims down the line, basically.

Who did Forbes name the youngest and wealthiest self-made female billionaire in America in 2015? And then once her scam was exposed, reassessed her net worth at $0 the following year. Oh, it's, um, uh, um, what's her name? Yeah, is it, uh, from, from, uh, Theranos, it's, uh, Elizabeth Holmes. Is that right? Elizabeth Holmes. Did I get that? Wow.

Good job, Brin. Yes. Yes, Elizabeth Holmes. Okay, so I read the book about this scandal. It's fabulous. It's so twisty, nothing but shocking twist and turns left and right. But yes, she had a blood testing company, and they basically lied to investors about that it worked. It didn't work at all. Later this year, she's going to go to trial. Fascinating. Okay, next question. In January 2021, so, earlier this year, HBO released a four-part documentary series called The Lady and the Dale, D-A-L-E, which is about a woman who was convicted of fraud for selling something. What was it? Chris. An automobile. Yes.

A three-wheeled car. Yes. I was just going to say. Three-wheeled fuel-efficient car called the Dale. So it did exist as a prototype, but it wasn't safe for anybody to drive, and she was kind of selling it. and taking free orders as if it were like ready to go and she ran away with investor money and then, yeah, it was a mess. All right, how about this one?

Rapper Jod Ruhl posted, it was not a scam, and this is not my fault about what scammy 2017 event. Everybody. A fire fest. Yes. Are there still people like going to trial and stuff for that or has that been, is it? No, the main guy is in jail. I'm pretty sure that's it.

Billy McFarlane was sentenced to six years in prison for wire fraud. So the fire festival was billed as this like Uber, luxurious, very Instagram-friendly music festival in the Bahamas. The original plan was that it would be on Pablo Escobar's island. I forgot that part of it. But Billy McFarland didn't get actual permission to do it there. And then finally, they agreed that he could do the festival. but it would be like a parking lot of a sandals and not on an island by itself.

It was very sad. It was everything that could have possibly gone wrong, right? Yeah, they were stranded on an island. The iconic image was the photo of the meal. Their quote, luxury meal, which was like a slice of wheat bread, a piece of American cheese and like two pieces of lettuce. Yeah, it was like.

Oh my gosh. How about this one? The Boston Swindler is the nickname of what schemer? This is an old-timey one. The Boston. Chris. Chris. Is it Frank Abagnall Jr.?

No. Oh, that's a good guess. That's who catch me. Wrong, but a good guess on. Yeah, that's, right, yeah. It is Charles Ponzi. Oh. Oh.

That's good. I get Ponzi. confused in my brain with Ponsu, which is the Japanese citrus soy sauce. I love a dead Ponsi's sauce. Karen has run a Ponsu scheme before. But the less said

about that, the better, her parole officer. It's funny. I confuse Ponsu and Yuzu. Yeah, Ponsu and Yuzu. I was confused about the difference between a Ponzi scheme and a pyramid scheme. They're kind of similar except with a Ponzi scheme, you're like, oh, I'm going to invest your

money, give me your money, and I'll and I'll get you a good return, and then they get money from somebody else, and then they give that to the original investors. It's like what Bernie Madoff was up to. That was a Ponzi scheme that he was running. Yeah. All right, next question. Before he painted the Sistine Chapel,

which now world famous artist was employed as an art forger. Oh, Michelangelo. Can't believe Splinter let him do that. Yeah, it's Michelangelo. So Michelangelo was commissioned to make fake Roman. in Greek sculptures. Like, people figured out they were fake after a while, but they liked them anyway.

And so I think King Charles bought one. Okay, last question. This is another recent scandal that I was into. Which prolific showrunner is developing a show about a fake German heiress and socialite named Anna Delvey? Oh, yeah. I know that. I don't know what.

Chris. Shonda Ryan. Yeah. Yeah, that's a good guess for any show on that question, I think. So she's making a Netflix show called Inventing Anna. Anna Delvey was sentenced to prison and had to make financial restitution, like some amount of financial restitution for stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from various rich people by pretending to be a German heiress.

Yeah. Okay, good job. All right. Well, folks, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, But as you all have no doubt heard, the Biden White House is, of course, embroiled in the biggest scandal of our times involving a member of the president's family just, oh, yeah, Colin, you know what I'm talking about. Major Biden, the German Shepherd, was involved in an incident where he may have caused a little minor injury to an unknown person to him. he and he and champ abiding both the german shepherds have been temporarily kicked out of the white house and so it's the perfect time to bring back one of my whole segments i i was thinking about this

previous good job brain quiz and i was like oh yeah i should do the sequel to this bringing it back presid dogs part two present dogs present dogs plus cats um and in fact everything else because for this sequel to my older quiz about the dogs who have lived in the White House of the United States, dogs owned by the president, all presidential animals are now on the table, all right? Or under the table begging for scraps, as the case may be. So here we go. All types of animals on the table. Get your barn yard buzzers ready. Get ready to buzz in with some animal noises for some animal questions as we bring you Presidogs. cats. Here we go. First question. This little guy was the first cat of the state of Arkansas from 1991 to 1992. I heard Karen first. I think this is the Clinton cat and I think the name is like socks. Correct. Sox is a cat. First cat of the state of Arkansas from 1991 to 1919. 92 first cat of the

United States No not the first Not the first cat Ever in the White House The first cat The first lady First cat Yeah exactly

With the Clinton administration Yeah socks the cat Had a video game made about him Very famous No way What do you do? What do you do? It's a mascot

You're a cat You walk It was the bloodiest First person shooter Karen It was yeah I know Almost Almost caused the The whole industry to come down, the entire cat industry.

Question number two, it's getting a little trickier now. The remains of Rex, a cavalier King Charles Spaniel, belonging to this president, are currently interred at Rancho del Cello, California. Colin? Richard Nixon. Incorrect. But I like the way you're thinking about this. Okay.

Dana? Is it Ronald Reagan? It is Ronald Reagan. Yes. Question three. The popularity of the discovery of Tuton Commons intact tomb in 1922 is likely the reason that this president brought a dog to the White House seven years later named King Tut. Colin? Uh, Herbert Hoover.

Herbert Hoover is correct. Brought a dog named King Tut to the White House in 1929, very shortly after the discovery of King Tutan Commons tomb in Egypt, which of course, you know, caused King Tutton mania around the world. Yeah. What's a good one? Abraham Lincoln's dog became so popular that his name became essentially a generic or a quintessential dog name in popular. What was that name? Dana. Is it Fido?

It is Fido. Sort of a tweak on the Latin word for Faithful. Did not live in the White House, but actually stayed in Springfield, Illinois. Sad fact, Fido actually attended Lincoln's funeral. Oh. Yeah. Sadder fact, I kind of hate to bring this question. quiz down emotionally, but like, I have to bring this up because it is so wild and like

it was, it was in the news. A Fido was also murdered. Now, it wasn't like a political assassination or anything like that. But he, no, he was stabbed by a drunk man. What the? He was stabbed by a drunk person, yeah, who thought he, who, who thought that he was being aggressive towards him, but he wasn't, but he stabbed. grabbed Fido and killed Abraham Lincoln's dog.

And this was like, this was in the paper. I know, I know. I didn't say I wanted to say this. But like as a piece of trivia, I felt like you needed to know. Yeah, yeah, that is trivia worthy for sure. It was in the papers. You can look it up. It's wild.

Here we go. Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, had for a brief time pets named Billy and Debbie. On their second night living at the White House, they escaped. JFK found them under his bed. What were Billy and Debbie? Colin? Hamsters. Yes, they were hamsters.

Now, did you know that? Or were you just guessing based on the tail? I was just guessing based on the era and what would be appropriate for two young kids. Who names their pets? Debbie. It's short for Deborah. For, in my mind, somehow, I thought was underneath the mattress. And then I was like, oh, so.

That's something like a spider or something small. I get it, like under the bed. Okay. Yeah. No, under the, under the bed, under the bed. Frightened, frightened of the White House, they hit under JFK's bed. Yeah. A Siamese cat with the unique name of Misty Malarky Yingyang lived in the White House

circa 1978. Which presidential daughter owned him? 1878 Dana That is Miss Carter the first daughter Well yeah

I didn't say you should know the first name Okay Colin I don't remember her name That's why I didn't buzz in I know the rules Chris Are we shaving people now Colin I couldn't ask you what was the name for cat?

Because nobody's going to call up with Misty Malarky Ying Yang. But I figured I would ask what was the name of Jimmy Carter's daughter essentially. And it was Okay, it was Amy Carter. Amy Carter. Owned a cat by the name of Misty Malarkey, Ying Yang

often photographed with Siamis. All right, and finally, finally, finally, finally. Okay, here we go. Here's the big one. This U.S. president owned a one-legged rooster, which is ironic, considering that this president's name

is an anagram of he loved rooster toe. Oh. Colin. Theodore Roosevelt? Yes. Yes. Just for the record,

that was going to be my guess before you even threw out the handagram. It worked out very well. Yes. If you just said which president seems like he would own a one-legged rooster. Right, exactly, exactly. But I can, I'm telling you right now, it's an incredible discovery that I made while writing this quiz that Theodore Roosevelt is an anagram of he loved rooster toe. I need to know, how did the rooster lose the leg?

Yeah. Exactly. Anyway, that is Presidog's part two. Pricy dogs and cats and hamsters and one-legged roosters. All right. Great. And that's our show. Thank you guys for joining me.
