You're listening to an airwave media podcast.
Hello, Shining, Sharpshooting Sherlock's.
This is Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.
Today's show is episode 215, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your master,
of mascots
marinating in miscellaneous
mental material.
Woo! I'm Colin.
I'm Dana. And I'm Chris.
It's a new season, guys.
Yay! We made it.
So welcome back, everybody. Here we are.
Season three.
And I've got two big pieces of news.
News number one, I've finally graduated
from college.
Yay!
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-ha.
I'm officially the proud class of 2021.
So context, turns out I've never actually officially graduated, as I thought, 17 years ago, this entire time, due to paperwork and communication errors, not because I did anything bad.
Wow.
That's great.
It's never too late, folks.
Never too late to go back and get that degree.
A lot of people have told me that.
This is like their nightmare.
And it's true.
I have had that specific, we call it a nightmare,
but like that specific like recurring dream of like you're back in school
and you don't know what your schedule is,
you know where your classes are attending and sort of thing.
But also, but also the like I'm back in school as an adult because I need,
because I never graduated high school, you know,
even though I thought I did and then you to go take another class to like right yet.
So I'm like Billy Madison.
All right.
And news number two, we, good job brain, are in a podcast network.
We have joined the Airwave Media podcast family, and in this family, we will be playing the role of the weird, funny uncle who likes puns and beavers.
So essentially, Uncle Joey in full house.
We are not cool enough to be Uncle Jesse.
That is a different podcast.
The shows and Airwaves Network celebrate the pursuit of learning, and I guess in a way, we are educational as well.
So happy to be included.
Some things that are going to change is we're bringing back ads.
Ads are back, everybody.
So instead of costing us money to make every episode so far, some ad revenue will alleviate our spend.
And it's a return.
We used to do ads.
We took a break.
It's kind of nice to flex that muscle again, you know?
So with those two big news out of the way, let's get back to business.
Without further ado, let's jump into our first general.
trivia segment pop quiz hot shot so here i have a random trivial pursuit card and you guys have your
barnyard buzzers and let's answer some questions here we go blue wedge for geography in which
u.s. state would you find the weather condition called bog v o g
Vod.
Oh.
Chris.
Just smacked myself in the headphones with my father.
I'm excited.
I'm all right.
Thankfully, the headphones cushion the blow.
Hawaii is correct.
Bucano fog.
Volcano smog, yes.
Pink wedge for pop culture.
If you are a believer, you belong to which pop artist's loyal fan
following.
Dana, please.
Justin Bieber.
Correct.
It is the Bebes.
All right, Yellow Wedge.
On May 6th, 1945, the day after the order ceased combat, a Nazi U-Boat was sunk off
the coast of which U.S. state.
Oh, man.
U.S.
U.S.
State.
Okay.
In honor of our own, Chris Kohler, I will say Connecticut.
I feel like somewhere, somewhere in the East Coast, maybe, I'll say Connecticut.
I don't know.
No, it is.
Rhode Island.
Rhode Island.
Home of the coffee milk.
Yes, Rhode Island.
So the crew did not receive that the war was over because they're in a submarine and they're underwater.
Right, right.
All right.
Next question, Purple Wedge.
Leo Tolstoy wrote which masterpiece of Russian literature that was more than 550,000 words in length?
War and peace
Correct
Okay
Yeah
famously known for
For being super long
I feel like that's one
Where like if you read it on the Kindle
You're kind of like cheating yourself out of being able to boast about it
You know what I mean?
Like part of the phone is carrying around this dictionary size book
I knew somebody who used to tear big books in half
And take them around with them
I mean
It made me lightheaded when I saw it
I was like what did you do?
What are you doing?
Now, what did they do?
They only read the top of the pages?
Yeah.
They're like, you get the point that way.
All right.
Greenwich for Science and Nature, Tang, the orange drink, Tang, was invented as a beverage for astronauts.
True or false?
Oh.
Oh, interesting.
I believe that this one is true.
I don't think this is a tricky history, right?
I think you're right.
I think you're right.
I think that it actually was, in fact, invented to give astronauts an orange juice like, you know, substance that they could.
Dana, what do you think?
That's interesting.
It's funny to be like, hey, astronauts, do you want some Kool-Aid in space?
Like, do you want like this really aggressively orange flavored drink?
Yeah.
But it is aggressively orange.
I mean, but if astronaut ice cream is real, then maybe they're like, hey, we should make you some whimsical food because you get really bored in space.
So we're going to make you a bunch of treats.
Is that what's happening?
The answer is false.
Teng.
Just marketed as.
Tang already existed pre-astronauts going to space.
So Teng was already in stores before John Glenn orbited the Earth.
Did they really take it to space?
I don't know.
Let's check.
Or is that a story?
I was going to say, if anything, they was not in space because you don't want like
powders and stuff floating around up there.
But like that it was.
Oh, that's true.
I thought the answer was, it was devoid.
developed for space, but they realized it wouldn't be practical.
So they just marketed it that way.
Oh, okay.
How tricky.
Well, we were all wrong.
Actually, freeze-dried ice cream.
So freeze-dried ice cream, we always associate with astronauts.
No records exist of freeze-dried ice cream making it on board because you're right.
It's crumbly.
This makes more sense to me, actually.
Like, why would they feed the astronauts just like a bunch of sugar and garbage?
Like, they need to be on the peak performance.
That to be fair.
in like the 60, sugar was considered like
an essential energy food.
Yeah, right, yeah.
So Seattle Times does say
yes, the early astronauts did
drink Tang, including on the
Apollo 11 mission
50 years ago. So Tang
was there. However,
people didn't like it. Buzz Aldrin
famously said that it sucks.
Tens sucks.
Oh, that backfired on Teng.
And it's not clear whether if it's
a little bit premixed, like it's an
a tube like already kind of in a drink but astronaut ice cream never made that one they totally
got me man that's it at the space center they said yes at the museums they would sell it and be like
it's got a picture of the astronaut right on the yeah what such a guy oh my god all right well
back to trivia pursuit card last question orange wedge the massively popular video game world
of tanks was invented in which country wow what a current card so I think it's I'm pretty
sure it's Russia, but I might be mixing up my Eastern European countries here.
It is Belarus.
It's Belarus.
All right.
Good job, Brains.
So today is episode number 215, and every fifth episode here at Good Job Brain.
We actually don't have a theme or a topic.
We all made our own quizzes to stump each other and stump you guys' listeners.
So this week, it's all quiz number 43.
So one of the main criticisms or, I guess, constructive feedback that we got about last season,
was that people wanted the return of some of our classic segments.
So today, your wish is our command.
Today's All Quiz Bonanza features some good job, Brain Staples, classics.
So let's kick it off.
Dana, you're going first.
So when you told me that today's show was going to be classic segments, I thought about it for a while.
I'd just done a Belgium or no Belgium.
And I was like, oh, yeah, Lifetime Movie or Not is another one that I really enjoyed doing.
To recap, I love the titles of Lifetime movies.
And they kind of come in two flavors.
Like they're either amazing puns, amazing puns, or they're like super detailed explanations of the whole, like, weird plot.
And that's the title of the movie.
So like, and sometimes it's like a swirl of both.
And those are amazing.
So in the past when I made these quizzes, I kind of focused on the puny names.
And I would give you the Lifetime pun name.
And I would also make up pun names.
And you had to tell me if it was real or fake.
And like, I think the best ones I came up with, ghosted by a ghost.
Very good.
I was very proud of that one.
Yes.
I think that it should be a movie.
And one day at a time, which is about a woman.
dating multiple dames.
It was like...
It's so plausible.
Yeah.
One day at a time.
This time, instead of focusing on puns,
I decided to pit actual lifetime movie names
against AI designed to create lifetime movie names.
There's a bunch of generators.
Oh, no.
Because these names are so good.
They're so inspiring.
This quiz is, can you tell which ones are real
and which ones were cobbled together by AI?
And I, like, sat there a long time,
I'm pushing the generate new title button to, like, get good ones.
And then I checked to make sure it was, like, actually not a movie.
Fantastic.
Here we go.
Number one.
An accidental Christmas wedding.
Real or fake.
Oh, wow, wow.
I'm going to say fake.
But it's such good.
It's such good.
I think that's what this generator is doing, though.
It's like, like, what words pop up the most, you know?
Yeah.
So I'll say, I'll say fake.
Fake.
It's fake.
But I had to Google it.
I was like, am I sure, sure this is fake?
How about how I married my high school crush?
I'll say true.
But this doesn't seem like a interesting movie premise, though.
I say fake.
It's real.
2007, starring Katie Sackoff.
Oh, Starbuboff.
From Battlestar Club.
How I married my high school crush.
Okay, how about Psycho Party Planner?
Oh, man.
There's a lot of movies about planners and consultants on life time.
I'll say AI fake psychoparty planner.
I'll say true.
I'll say true.
There's Bridezillas, but it's rarely the planner that is crazy.
So I say it's bought fake.
It is real.
This is a real movie you can watch about a psycho party planner.
How about a high school hidden baby?
fake fake this is like that one show where it's like I didn't know I was pregnant yeah right
yeah I'll say say fake but man just by a hair it's fake it's fake okay that one made me laugh for so
long it's really good I feel like even lifetime we treat a subject like you know a hidden high school
pregnancy but slightly more gravitas than high school hidden baby you know what I mean they don't though
Chris they don't they don't okay how about this one psycho yoga instructor wow
Okay. Well, from the people who brought you.
The criterion.
Is this bot just now that was fed psycho party planner and is spitting this back out?
Or is this, in fact, taking place in the, you know.
The psycho universe.
I think it's fake.
I think you're right.
I think the bot took in psycho party planner, which is real.
And they're like, okay, psycho occupation is now.
All right.
I'll go with you, Karen.
I'll go with you.
I'll say fake.
And I'll say real.
I'm going to,
I'm going to zig while you zag.
It's real.
It's real.
Oh, man.
It is the sequel to Psycho Party planner.
They have a whole line.
What are some of the other ones?
Oh, man.
Let me see if I have it on my list.
I was like, I can't do all of them because you'll catch the pattern.
Okay.
So it looks like they also have Psycho Nurse and Psycho Stormchaser.
Oh.
Psycho Storm Chaser.
All right.
How about this one?
Her secret family killer.
It's got the her.
in there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You're a secret family killer.
Does that mean she has a secret family or?
Is this, she has someone is trying to kill her secret family or within her secret family
there is a killer.
I mean, who knows?
I know the answer, but there's a, there's a colon you're missing.
Her secret colon.
Family killer.
There's no colon.
There's no colon.
Real.
Bot, fake.
I'll say real.
It is real.
And it's about genetic testing.
It is about a secret family killer.
How about this one?
Sexting in the dark.
I'll say, I'll say real.
Yeah, why in the dark?
It should be real.
Real is fake.
Oh.
All right.
Last one.
Her deadly sugar daddy.
Real.
Man, this is like.
I'll say real.
I'll say real.
I want it to be real.
It's real.
It's from 2020.
I think, you know, honestly, the people who make these movies, like, get the joke,
like, they know the spirit of the thing that they're trying to create.
So, yeah.
Good job.
I honestly would not be surprised if they do not create lists of titles and, like, focus group them
and say, check off the boxes of the ones that you would be most likely to watch.
Because they're so high concept that it's just like you look at it and you're like,
oh, I know what this movie is going to be about.
And that's what you want.
Yeah.
Because the titles are so straightforward that they're.
like, oh, okay, people really are into sex.
You know what people are like.
They're not like sending them, you know, they're not like receiving completed scripts from
like script writers that are just like, I've got one for you, you know, and somebody is just
there like, this is really a psycho construction worker, psycho attorney, and then they finally
get down to the bottom, and they're just like, you know, psycho, IP lawyer, incredible.
Yeah.
Colin, you got our next segment, please.
All right.
I had a lot of fun putting this one together.
I hope you guys like it.
I hope it goes well.
So I have a quiz that combines food with a little bit of foreign language,
a little bit of country trivia.
This quiz is called the country namesake food quiz.
And I'll give you an example here.
So we have a lot of foods and dishes that we eat here in America.
And also the English-speaking world generally,
but I'm talking about just in America where a country name is part of the food.
Now, don't start naming them because you might name something on the quiz,
but you can certainly think to yourself if you like.
So I'm going to give you an example here.
The way I'm going to structure this quiz is I will describe to you the best I can,
this food, and you will give me the name of this food.
In the name of the food will be a country name or a nationality.
Okay.
Let me give you a funny example here.
Like in the course of doing this quiz,
I was looking up like Russian dressing.
All right.
Now, you guys, you may or may not be surprised.
Russian dressing, it's not really Russian.
It's not really a Russian thing.
Most sources seem to indicate that it was, it's called Russian dressing because early,
early iterations of it tended to have caviar in it.
So it was sort of an allusion to an illusion.
Oh, okay.
Russian style.
Yeah.
In fact, I learned that what we call Russian dressing, apparently in Germany, you can get this.
It's called American dressing.
So, yeah.
I will be using some foreign phrases, some foreign terms in these questions.
I'm going to give you, in fact, what these dishes are called in these namesake countries,
whether or not they come from there.
They might exist there.
I'm going to do my best on these languages.
I am going to do my best on pronunciation.
Please bear with me if one of these languages is your home language.
I'm doing my best.
All right.
So with all of that out of the way, let me give you this hopefully simple example.
In its namesake country, if you wanted this salty, starchy treat, you would ask for pomfrit.
And the answer would be, I think you all know.
French fries.
French fries.
Yeah.
Belgium, of course, as Dana, I'm sure knows, lays claim to being the home of French fries, despite the fact that we call them French fries.
So get your barnyard buzzers ready.
And here we go.
Into the quiz.
In its namesake country, this is.
bread is known as
Tiger Brod, which
means tiger bread. What
food is this? Karen,
quickly. Sorry, I
buzzed way too early. This is one
of my favorite foods of all time.
I would even say it's part of
my, if I
had a last meal. I think we talked about
this last season. It is
Dutch crunch bread.
I want you to know, Karen, that actually
it was you talking about this
in that segment that inspired me to put this quiz
together. We call it Dutch Crunch and they call it
Tiger Bread. It's moving right along.
In its namesake country, this
popular breakfast dish
is typically called
Pampardou, which translates
to lost bread.
I think you all boast, but Chris
might have been first there, Chris. What do we got?
It's French toast. That is
indeed French toast, French toast.
In its namesake
country, this
simple confection is known as
locum. It derives from the Arabic
al-Lukum, which ultimately means
throat comfort.
Karen, I believe, was first there.
Sorry, it's funny.
Turkish delight. That's right. I am
indeed looking for a Turkish delight, basically
a gel of starch, sugar,
often with some fruit. The origin of this is
not exactly, exactly known.
And there are, you know, I want to say several countries and regions that will lay claim to being the home of it, all over many regions.
But Turkish delight, what we call it here, yes.
In its namesake country, these savory items are known as Chotbular, which literally means meat buns.
And you'll often see them served with a creamy gravy and lingonberry jam.
Oh, Swedish meatballs.
Swedish meatballs. Yes, I'm looking for Swedish meatballs, what we call them. Yeah. We have a pretty, I think, I would say a pretty authentic representation of Swedish meatballs in the U.S. It maybe is a little homogenized. But yeah, they tend to be a little bit on the smaller side.
Yeah. Kind of a cream-based gravy. It's a little hard to find Lingenberry jam, I think, maybe in some parts of the U.S.
IKEA.
Exactly what I was going to say. One place reliably has them, which is your neighborhood IKEA.
In its namesake country, this dairy product is known as Strangisto Yaorti, and it's been a staple item for generations, but has exploded in popularity in the U.S. in the last 15 years.
What are we looking for?
Chris and Karen together, I'll give it to Chris.
Why not?
Greek yogurt.
Greek yogurt.
Yes, that's right.
Strained yogurt is really the category.
Oh, strained.
Really, just in the last 15 years here in the U.S., in no small part, to the Chobani company, also the Faié company, really just very successfully marketing this product to Americans.
Moving right along.
In its namesake country, if you wanted a side order of this meat, you'd ask for back bacon.
Oh.
Chris, Chris.
Canadian bacon.
Yes, Canadian bacon.
In its namesake country, this smoky meat treat is called hibasa.
Dana, what do you got for is Dana?
Polish sausage?
That is correct, yeah, Polish sausage.
That's right.
Okay, last one, last one.
In its namesake country, if you asked for some emmentaler on your sandwich, what would you be getting?
Karen, I believe, decisively.
One of my favorite
ingredients in a sandwich, it is
Swiss cheese. Yes, that's right.
That's right. Broadly,
one of a type of Swiss cheese, but
no doubt that Emmental
Emmenthaler is the
prototypical Swiss cheese, yeah.
And that is, again, one of those sort of
internationally trade-protected terms.
Like if you're buying what advertises
itself as Emmenthaler, it better be
Swiss actual origin cheese, yeah.
So anybody
can use the term Swiss cheese.
They can't, they can't
call it Eminem. My understanding is that's
generally correct, right. You know, most places
say Swiss style or Swiss type,
you know, or yeah, Alpine
cheese. I've also seen as in
Oh, that's such a good cheater way to
do it. I learned that
originally, even though the holes are, you know,
it's a natural, it's a byproduct
of a natural process in the cheese making.
Originally, the cheesemakers
would try to avoid the big holes. It was
something that you would kind of try and downplay and avoid, you know,
whereas these days, like, that's, that's what makes it the Swiss cheese, right?
You get Swiss cheese is not the holes.
You feel kind of cheated.
Have you ever gotten the slice in the hole is like, you know, more than a quarter of the
slice is a whole?
Yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
I know what you mean.
So, yeah, by weight, not by, not by slice, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
And let's take a break and we'll be right back.

Hey, yo, you're listening to Good Job Brain.
And this week, it's our all-quiz bonanza number 43.
So who's up next?
We're talking about bringing back some of our classic segments and things like that for this season premiere.
I've never done any classic segments.
I've never done anything that's actually become popular.
But I decided to, I don't think so.
I'm pretty sure I have that.
I guess Presidogs. Pressidogs was not. I don't know if that was popular. Certainly, others here have done things that have become extremely popular. And I wanted to just go ahead and just steal one of those. And Karen was nice enough to let me take over a very popular segment. Everybody loves it. Took us a while to come up with a name for this. Originally, Karen wanted to call it William Shakespeare goes to a house party.
Yay! Then swap that out for William shakes his rear.
then the even less catchy, Who Wants to Barty?
And then finally, I think by the end of the first segment,
we had all settled on, William Fakespeare.
Which really was staring us in the face the whole time.
The whole entire time.
And the idea behind this being the bard of Stratford-upon-Avon himself,
William Shakespeare, is reincarnated in the modern,
in the contemporary era as a DJ,
taking a popular dance music and rewriting it in Ersat's Elizabethan English as you would hear in a Shakespeare play
and then trying to figure out what the original song was.
Well, actually, I did a couple of things a little bit differently now that I'm doing this.
One, I went a little bit outside of strictly dance music and party music.
There's definitely some party music in there, and then there's some that are not.
And then two, I decided to try to actually write all of this in iambic pentameter.
Because I was really trying to match the poetic meter, they ended up a lot more serious.
Sometimes the point of being even depressing.
Cairns were very funny and wacky sometimes.
It's just like Shakespeare. Comedy and Tragedy.
Exactly.
You can go both ways.
So this is tragedy.
So you guys can all kind of just work together, try to figure it out from the phrases, work it back to the originals.
These are all very popular songs, very popular songs.
You've heard all of them.
Okay, here we go.
All right, here we go.
And I will be playing the part of William Fakespeer.
Trained actor.
We parted with mere phrases on the tongue, whilst I did perish 90 times and 10.
Thine heart anon lies with another wench, whilst I return to darkness once again.
We parted with mere phrases on.
the tongue, whilst I did perish 90 times and 10.
Thine heart anon lies with another wench, whilst I return to darkness once again.
Okay.
Okay.
Let me say goodbye.
I died a hundred times.
90 plus 10.
Yeah, 90 plus 10, 100.
We left, something like we left with no words to say.
we left with that we left that a word i died a hundred times somebody at home got it already i know it
i know it i will i will read it again as you're all thinking we parted with mere phrases on the tongue
whilst i did perish 90 times and 10 thine heart anon lies with another wench whilst i return to
darkness once again oh you made it rhyme it's a fleet with mac song it is not a fleet with mac song
Colin, you got the line, the second line being, I died a hundred times.
I died a hundred.
I can, man, I can just, it's itching somewhere in my brain.
Oh, I know.
Oh, you got it?
It is Amy Winehouse.
That's black.
Yes.
We only said goodbye with words.
I died a hundred times.
You go back to her and I go back to black.
Okay, all right, okay.
You got it, you got it.
Good, good, good, good, good.
All right.
Okay.
Number two.
see more recent song. I'm going to give you a little bit of a hint. This is more recent. This is within
the last couple of years, okay? Rare for me. Rare for our music round by me, but yes. Here we go.
Oh, these brilliant lamps obscure mine's sight. Whilst we are potted sleep shall ne'er or take me.
Oh, the night envelops me, I drown. Whilst I am in this state, do not forsake me.
these brilliant lamps obscure mine's sight
whilst we are potted sleep shall ne'er or take me
oh the night envelops me I drown
whilst I am in this state
do not forsake me
oh I thought I knew
oh these brilliant lamps obscure my
I'm blinded by the light
and long to feel your touch
but it's not in this phrase
But is it a different, yeah, is it a different verse, maybe?
All right, so Karen, you're correct.
This is blinding lights by the weekend.
The original lyrics being, I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights.
No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch.
I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night.
Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust.
Oh, good job.
All right, well, good.
You got, okay, two for two, everybody.
Doing great, doing great.
Okay, here we go.
Number three, three of five.
Here it is.
Of late, aflamed off kindle in mine breast.
Its burning shows me pathways once concealed.
At last I can perceive thee with mine eyes.
Cross me, and I shall all thine tricks reveal.
Of late, aflamed off kindle in mine breast,
its burning shows me pathways once concealed.
At last I can perceive.
receive thee with mine eyes cross me and i shall all thine tricks reveal
wow the rhyming is such a good touch oh thanks all right of late of flame doth kindle in my
heart's on fire my my my my heart is burning it's not eternal flame i'll cut off that right now
yeah okay yeah late of late a flame doth kindle of is it adele is it set fire to the rain no
Adele something?
No.
Oh, so we know it's Adele.
Rolling in the deep.
There's a fire burning in my heart.
Reaching a fever piston.
So yes, this is Adele rolling in the deep.
Very good, Dana.
Yeah, I'll read the original lyrics.
There's a fire starting in my heart.
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark.
Finally, I can see you crystal clear.
Go ahead and sell me out and I'll lay your bear.
Yeah.
Yes. That's good.
All right, guys, you're doing pretty good.
Doing pretty good.
Let's hit number of question four of five.
This is another song.
A church nearby I entered for a spell,
and on my knees a prayer did I fain.
But while the priest was fond of winter's chill,
I dreamt of Queen Caliphia's domain.
A church nearby, I entered,
for a spell, and on my knees a prayer did I fain. But while the priest was fond of winter's chill,
I dreamt of Queen Caliphia's domain. Oh, okay. California dreaming. Yeah, I passed, stopped into a church
I passed along the way. Well, I got down on my knees and I pretend to pray. You know the preacher
likes the cold. He knows I'm going to stay California dreaming on such a winter's day. Now, I
did, I got caught on this. I'm like, wait a minute. Did the word California exist in Shakespeare's time, 1500s? In fact, it actually did predate Shakespeare. The word originated as a concept of a fictional island that was written about in an old work of fiction. California being an island off the coast of Asia that was ruled by Queen Caliphia. So I'm like, okay, all right. Technically, technically, technically counts. That's great. That's great. So these are, apparently I think these has just been getting
easier as the round has been going on. This final one, I think by the time that I am done with
this, there's not going to be any question as to what this is. And that's okay. This one, I almost
got to sonnet length with it. And I probably could have gone sonnet length if I really wanted to,
because a sonnet is three stanzas of four lines each and then two lines that rhyme at the end.
This is 10 lines instead of 14 lines. So I almost got all the way to sign.
at length. I went a little crazy with this. Enjoy this ridiculousness. And then he can tell me
at the end what song this is. As though thou meant to board a mighty ship, didst thou attend this
evening's affair? A scarf of red and pink adorned thine neck, a calf positioned oddly on
thine hair, with furtive glance into the looking glass, didst thou regard thine frolicing
with glee, and every maiden present at that fair did dream herself as thine own bride to be.
So full thou art of wretched vanity that thou beliefst this sonnet concerns thee.
Yeah.
Oh.
Well done.
That's really good.
That's great.
Oh, goodness.
There's a lot of rich imagery in that one.
Oh, yeah.
Anybody want to say what it is?
You're so vain
Carly Simon
Yes
Yes it was
You're So Vain by Carly Simon
If anybody doesn't know the song
The lyrics were
You walked into the party
Like you were walking onto a yacht
Your hat strategically dipped below one eye
Your scarf, it was apricot
You had one eye in the mirror
As you watched yourself gavat
And all the girls dreamed that
They'd be your partner
They'd be your partner
You're so vain
You probably think this song is a
who was like washing the dishes you know in that part like popped into my head and i'm like oh damn
and i like stopped washing the dishes and went and wrote it down i love it i had too much fun with
this thank you the moment you described the scarf i was like i know what song describes this
scarf like nice oh yes yep i hadn't only heard a once ever song that said anything about
anybody wearing no scarf yeah thank you william fakespeare for gracing us with your with your presence
again.
So, I love making
games that we can play on air.
And though this isn't a classic
Karen Signature Quiz segment,
I think it does reek
of me and my
trivia style.
Reeking of Karen.
Smells like Karen Spirit.
So I'm calling this segment
Drop a deuce.
Ew.
Oh, my.
Drop a deuce is a modified
version of Scatigories.
And I will
ask a trivia question where there will be
many, many possible answers, yeah.
Did you say, did you say, scatigory?
It sounded like said scatigories.
So it sounds like it said scatigories,
which would be like another joke.
Yeah, exactly.
A poop joke on a poop joke.
Scatter.
Scatter.
It sounded like, yeah, scattergories.
Get the hard R and scatter gore.
When you said it, I was like,
is it really called scatters?
I never know this that before.
That was not on purpose.
Happy coincidence.
So I will ask
a trivia question where there
will be multiple possible
answers, and your mission is
to list me just two of them.
Points for unique answers.
So if another person also lists out
the same answers that you put down,
then you and that person don't get the point
for duplicate answers.
So there's some strategy involved.
You have to think about, like,
what other people might write, but also stick with what you know the trivia question is.
For example, so if I say, please name me two shades of the fourth color of the rainbow.
The fourth color.
First, you have to deduce what the fourth color of the rainbow is.
Okay, right, green.
Which is green.
And then name me two shades of green.
Like lime and olive.
Kelly, yeah, forest.
Okay.
And so if anybody has duplicates of that, then they don't get the point.
Oh, wow.
Okay.
Here we go. First question. As a kid, this film director attended Disneyland on the second day it opened, obviously not knowing that he would later inspire a ride there. Please name me two movies that were directed by this person.
Let me read it again. As a kid, this film director attended Disneyland on the second day it opened. Obviously, not.
not knowing that he would later inspire a ride attraction decades later.
Please name me two movies that were directed by him.
Wow.
This is hard.
Well, I mean, if I even have the right director.
I don't even know the right, exactly, exactly.
This is starting out hard.
We're starting out hard.
Let's just go for it.
Okay.
All right.
I've got two guesses.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
So answers up.
Colin, what'd you put?
I wrote down Batman and Nightmare Before Christmas.
Oh, I see.
So you think it's Tim Burton.
That's who I thought it was.
That's my guess.
I guess I couldn't really get my brain out of like Star Wars mode.
So I wrote down Star Wars and the Empire Strikes Back.
Now, I don't know if Empire Strikes Back was directed by George Lucas.
I think Star Wars was.
I'm just sort of blanking on who else it could be.
I put down E.T. and Jurassic Park.
I think that's Steven Spielberg
And I was like he did Indiana
Jones which is at Disneyland
All of the director
guesses are very good
You have Burton, you have Lucas
You have Spielberg
All of them actually did have some sort of
attraction of their work
made
And the answer is George Lucas
George Lucas
He went
He loves Disneyland, went to Disneyland
The second date opened as a kid
and Chris, he did not direct Empire Strike Back, so you get one point.
Okay.
All right.
As you might know, there are 50 states in these United States.
Some of them are designated as Commonwealths.
Oh, geez.
Please drop a deuce and name me two of these states that have Commonwealth in their full official state names.
There's a good one.
Okay.
Yeah, you got to think, yeah.
What are the other people going to put?
Yeah.
Again, out of the 50 states, some of them are designated as commonwealths.
So please name me two of these states that have commonwealth in their full official state names.
Okay.
All right.
Dana's writing.
I'm just going to list all of them and cross them out one by one.
Okay, got it.
Colin, you put.
We got Virginia and Pennsylvania.
Dana Virginia and Oregon
Chris
I put Massachusetts in Pennsylvania
Oh
So out of all
Massachusetts
The four states
Commonwealths are
Kentucky
Pennsylvania
Virginia and Massachusetts
So that means
Chris gets the point
Yeah
Good job
Both of yours got named
by somebody else
Oh I see
I see because there was two
Pennsylvania's two Virginia's
and you said Oregon for the okay gotcha I was like wait that doesn't add up okay gotcha next question
veering into what we used to do or what we still do which is video games this bestselling novelist
was the part owner of the Baltimore Orioles fun fact his work has inspired several video game
franchises please drop a deuce and name two of these video game franchises once again this bestselling
novelist was the part owner
of the Baltimore Orioles.
His work has inspired several
video game franchises.
Please name me two of them.
Percy got to figure out who this
best-selling novelist is.
Then you have to name.
So you said he says not Daniel
Steele.
No, but maybe she did.
She might have. I have a guess
but I if, oh, this is a good one.
For seven to choose from.
Seven franchises to choose two from.
Huh, okay.
And they all have this guy's name.
I'm second guessing myself more on the names of the franchises now than whether the person.
I think now we all probably know who this novelist is.
Ready?
Answer's up.
I'm guessing Tom Clancy.
Yeah.
You put Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon.
Dana?
I knew it was Tom Clancy, but I was like,
I don't put any points into knowing anything about Tom Clancy.
So like, Jason Bourne, supremacy, Jason Bourne legacy.
I know it's Tom Clancy, but I wanted to avoid the common one.
So I put End War and X Defiant, which is the new one.
Oh, that wasn't on my list.
Let me double check.
Double check.
Chris knows too much knowledge.
That was good.
Chris, you and I just did a little,
a prisoner's dilemma there. Chris, good job. That was released, or the news of that was released
only a month ago. That was not on my list. I was just talking about it with somebody the other day.
So I was like, oh, I'm going to put that because there's no way anybody's going to put that.
And then end war. So Colin gets two also. Yep, Chris gets too. So just in case you're wondering,
Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, Hawks, End War, the Division, and then, of course, now X to
All right, these are hard.
Next one, this we've gotten this
Pub trivia before. Based on the
work of French chef August
Escoffier, most of French cuisine
is defined by the uses of the
base sauces. Oh, yeah.
Commonly known as the
mother sauces. Please drop a
deuce and name me two of these
mother sauces.
Okay.
A little bit of a dendom.
So Auguste Escofier in his
book about French cookery. He actually lists five, but these days there are six. So any two of
these six are acceptable. Okay. Huh, man. Sources. Sources. Sosses. Sosses. Helps if you think
about colors, the different colors of sauces, if you want, you know. Okay. How come there are six?
Maybe there's like a red one and a brown one and a white one and a yellow one. Okay.
All right.
Answers up.
Colin?
I hope I'm even in the right family.
I put Bernays and Hollandez.
Gena?
Rue and Bernays.
And I put Bechamel and Hollandees.
The six sauces are Besheamel, Espanol, which is a brown sauce, velute,
hollandaise, sauce tommat, or tomato sauce, and mayonnaise.
I didn't put mayonnaise because, like, that's going to be the common maybe.
Right, right, right.
Yeah, like, you know, like, what a kid, Dijanese, sour,
a jalapeno ranch.
A barbecue.
Yeah, honey barbecue.
Next question.
In 2018, a sequel to a popular movie franchise was released
featuring an all-female ensemble cast.
drop a deuce and name two of these actresses from the ensemble cast in 2018 a sequel to a popular movie franchise was released featuring an all-female ensemble cast please name two of these actresses
i i may actually have a chance to get a point here all right chris ready everybody's ready i'm ready answers up
Colin has put down Aquafina and Helena Bonham Carter.
What movie do you think this was?
I think we're looking for Oceans 8.
Okay, Dana, what'd you put?
Rihanna and Sandra Bullock.
Okay, also Oceans.
Oceans 8, it sounds like.
Oh, you know, I actually, I forgot about Oceans 8,
and I thought maybe you were talking about the Ghostbusters reboot,
and I put Kristen Wigg and Kate McKinnon.
Nice.
Yeah.
That's probably what it is.
Yes.
It is Ocean's eight.
Oh, okay.
Ghostbusters came before both Colin.
Dana, you guys got it right.
No repeats.
Sandra Bullock is in it.
Yeah, Sandra Bullock is in it.
She is Debbie Ocean.
She is the ocean.
It was like it was somebody.
Another fun fact.
I just realized I saw that movie.
But it was, and it's pretty good.
I just totally forgot it.
I have not seen it.
So we've got Kate Blanchette and Hathaway, right?
Who else am I missing?
in there.
Mindy Kaling.
That's right.
Mary Paulson.
That's right.
Yeah.
Good movie.
We got two more questions.
Here we go.
Based on WWF, the World Wildlife Fund, not the World Wrestling Federation.
Please name me two animals that are currently on the critically endangered list.
So the conservation status is, quote, critically endangered.
So that is the name of the status.
I don't need species names.
I just need regular animal names.
Okay.
I'm not looking for the South American red-tailed lizard.
You can just say lizard.
That is an animal I made up.
That's cool.
You make up animals a lot?
I do.
Thank you for asking.
Okay.
There's probably something very, very obvious.
Just go with your gut.
Okay.
All right.
I'm trusting you, Karen.
All right.
Answers up.
Colin, you put rhino.
Rhino and gray wolf.
All right, Dana.
I put rhino and panda.
Okay, Chris.
I put whale and bird.
That was really smart.
That was good.
Because you said, all you need is a generic animal name, so I said bird.
Out of all of these, I think the ones that you guys hit on is rhino, but you guys canceled out each other.
So zero points for everybody.
There is no bird that is currently critically endangered.
Just really quickly, elephant, orangutan, rhino.
Leopard, gorilla, turtle, tiger.
There's other ones like Seola and Vakita.
And most interestingly, the Yangti finless porpoise.
To me, the name indicate that this porpoise dolphin-like creature has no fins.
That is not true.
It just doesn't have the top dorsal fin.
It has the two swimmer fins.
So I was imagining why I read this, I was like, is this just a blob with a tail?
It's just the tube.
Yeah.
No wonder he's critically endangered.
It's slim.
Sware faster, little tubey.
All right, last question.
Speaking of WWF, the WWE World Wrestling Entertainment,
formerly WWF,
based on the website,
Celebrity Net Worth,
please drop a deuce and name me two of the 10
current or former wrestlers who have the highest net worth.
So name me basically two of the ten richest wrestlers.
So a little bit of explanation.
We are including endorsements, movie deals, movie income, etc.
If they have ventured out into doing other things.
These are people who have actually worked as a wrestler in the ring.
So some strategy I will pick the most obvious possible because I only know three wrestlers.
Exactly.
Now my strategy is I'm trying to stop other people from getting points.
But it makes you not get points too.
My weakness is I don't go very deep past the top tier.
I put Hulk Hogan and Rick Flair.
I almost put Hulk Hogan.
It turns out maybe I know four.
No, no, I only know three.
That's one of the three.
What is your deuce?
Dwayne the Rock Johnson, John Sina.
Yep, yeah, okay.
So I did put Dwayne the Rock Johnson.
And I also, I really went back and forth here, but I landed on Dave Batista.
Oh, good one.
Because he is in the Guardians of the Galaxy.
And he's about to be in Dune.
I was thinking.
And you get a lot of money from that, more so than wrestling.
Dave Patista, not on the list.
Not on the list.
Not on the list.
I feel like they should go back and check.
This is, as of today, top 50.
Who's on the list?
Number one.
No surprise.
Vince McMahon.
Oh, see, I was going to put, yeah, because he's been in the ring for sure.
Sure, sure.
And another person I was going to guess was Triple H because he is an executive at WW.
Yes, he's number four.
So it seems like the business people are up on top.
So just really quickly, let me just do top five.
Vince McMahon, number two is The Rock.
Number three is Stephanie.
McMahon. I was thinking that. Yeah. Yep. Yep. She's a corporate executive and has been a
wrestler before. And then number four, Triple H also works for a WWE. Number five is John Cena.
Dang. Okay. So after that's a very dramatic round. And after that, we have tied, Colin and
Chris. Congratulations. You guys are our master deuce droppers. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Well, Karen,
I think we all want to thank you for this.
for putting on this game of
Scatigories. We all really enjoyed it.
It just reeks of Karen.
Yes.
The rich aroma.
Steve Cubine and Man McNamara's podcast
from Beneath the Hollywood Sign.
Mary Astor has been keeping a diary.
Mary writes everything down.
And so this torrid affair with George S. Kaufman
is chronicled on a daily basis.
In great detail.
And I pulls out a box.
and gives McAllister a ring, saying,
here's something to remember me by.
This article caused Daryl Zanick to hit the roof.
Actress Ruth Roman followed that up
with playing a foil to Betty Davis in Beyond the Forest.
I mean, if you can stand toe to toe with her, boy.
And she does because she plays the daughter
of the man that Betty Davis kills out in the hunting trip.
And it's directed by King Vidor, so he's no slouch.
How do you go wrong with that?
Speaking of the Oscars, talking about what I
call Beginners Luck. It's all about the actors and actresses who won an Oscar on their very
first film. Get your fix of old Hollywood from Stephen Nann on the podcast from Beneath the
Hollywood Sign.
good job brain
all right so yeah
I said that I didn't have any popular segments
but I was lying because we all know
that I did in fact come up with
the number one most popular segment
that has ever been on any good job brain
I don't have data or numbers for this
these are my feelings and you can't argue that
This is the best segment ever.
You all loved it.
Everybody loved it.
And we're finally, we're bringing it back.
And it's called Carol or Stephen.
Yeah.
Dant-da-da-da-d-da-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-.
Which King is which.
And so the, this game is all about kings, Carol King and Stephen King.
I'm going to give you all the title of a creative work.
And you are going to tell me,
if that title is the title of a song by incredibly prolific songwriter Carol King
or the title of a short story by incredibly prolific horror writer Stephen King.
They both wrote a whole lot of stuff.
And so I'm going to get, I'll tell you the title and then you just tell you are going to write down.
Everybody get out your pens and your paper because y'all are going to write down either Stephen or Carole.
to decide whether I am telling you of the title of a song by Carol King,
author of, you know, I Feel the Earth Move and stuff like that.
And or Stephen King, author of Kujo.
So I feel like even they might be stumped by this quiz.
You know, they're like, you know, I've written so many things.
I went to Carol King.com and it is like, I think it's Carol King.com,
but I went to Carol King's official website.
And wow, she wrote a lot of songs.
They're like, you have to, like, click on each letter to get an alphabetized by letter.
And then there's, like, multiple pages in each letter, which maybe it's not the best website design.
I never said Carol King was good at website design.
She doesn't claim to be.
Heck of good at songwriting, though.
So here we go.
Carol or Stephen, question one.
You're writing it down.
Question one.
Suffer the little children.
Suffer the little children.
Is it a plaintiff song about the tragic plight of little children,
or is it a short story about little children suffering or making other people suffer?
Write down those answers, answers up when you got them.
I got Karen says Carol, Colin says Carol, and Dana says Stephen King.
Now, Dana, you don't have to write down the last name.
It is implied, but I appreciate.
I'm showing respect.
I love it.
love it. And in fact, Dana gets a point because it is in fact a story by Stephen King in which
little children are like little monsters or they've convinced their teacher that they are and the
reader is sort of left guessing whether the teacher is crazy or the kids are actually demons or
I thought you're going to trick us off the bat. You did. You know what? I did trick you off the bat
because you, you would have put the poison in front of you, but you would have realized that I would
the poison in front of me. I switched them. It was one of those things. So Dana gets a big point and we move
on to question number two. The Knight of the Tiger. The Night of the Tiger. Is it a allegorical
song? Is it like I of the Tiger, like Survivor? Or is it like an actual tiger, literally killing people?
Who knows? The Knight of the Tiger. Carol or Stephen, let's see some answers. Colin says,
Stephen, Karen says Stephen King, Dana says Carol King. It is in fact a story about a murderous
tiger by Stephen King. So everybody is now tied. Good humor man. Good humor man. I mean,
I guess the name of the ice cream. Yeah, exactly. So I mean, again, like, is it an ice cream
man that comes and gives ice cream to all of the children or is it an ice cream man that comes and
kills all of the children? Which one is it? Carol or Stephen? Carol or.
It could be either.
They're both good humor man.
Colin says Carol.
Karen says Carol.
Dana says Carol.
You are all correct.
It is a lovely song about ice cream.
Okay, here we go.
Getting tougher now.
Spaces.
Spaceship races.
That's interesting.
I'll tell you this.
I don't know what it's about.
But you know what?
Part of the fun of the segment is you posing.
what it could be.
Oh, yeah, right, okay, sure, sure, sure.
I don't even know how to set this one up.
Everyone says Carol King.
Everyone is right.
Everyone is right.
That is actually a song by Carol King.
Figured somebody would guess it was a Stephen King story about like, I don't know,
a spaceship that kills you.
A spaceship that kills you.
He's had the trucks that kill you.
He's had the cars that kill you.
Probably the spaceship would kill you too.
Yeah, why not a spaceship?
Here we go.
Here's another.
one in the snack category cookie jar cookie jar oh oh cookie jar is again is it about a magical cookie jar at grandma's house that
you know just is always full of delicious cookie right exactly like it's either always full of delicious
cookies or you open it and it kills you maybe it's always full of delicious cookies and the cookies
kill you um everyone says stephen everyone has gotten this one correct
Yes.
It is about a cookie jar that is always full, but for a very sinister reason.
Ooh.
So, yeah.
It ends up being a portal to another dimension where you get killed.
So yes.
So yes.
Yes, just not the way you thought.
So yes.
How about this one?
Here's one for you, folks.
Old smoky locomotion.
Old smoky locomotion.
Again.
Is it like, do the locomotion?
motion like a dance song or is about a train that kills you he's got again he's got the car
that kills you he's got the he's got the crossover SUV that kills you um finally we get some
we get a little bit of uh of differentiation here uh Colin and Dana both say Stephen Karen says Carol
King it is a Carol King song and in fact this would help if you knew that Carol King wrote the song
the locomotion.
Awesome.
This is a, this is a, this was the follow-up song, which is a mashup of on top of old
Smoky and the locomotion.
I would not have guessed if she, if I knew she did locomotion.
I'd be like, she's covered that.
She's already gone down that track, so to speak.
Oh, okay.
When she was a songwriter, she wrote it for another artist also.
Little Eva.
Yeah.
Little Iba.
That's right.
That's right.
And they also had a lot of song sequels back in the day.
If a song was a hit, they came up with a sequel to the song, you know, let's, let's twist
again. Twist again.
You're right. Right. Right. American Pie Band Camp.
Your next song, Creepin Midnight. Creepin' midnight. How do you
spell Creepin? Is it? It is. So, yes, I will give you this information if this will
help you. C-R-E-E-P-I-N-A-P-N-A-P-N-N-N-N-Night. C-R-E-N-N-N-N-E. Karen says,
Carol. Dana says Carol. Colin says Carol. It is a Carol King song. Wow. Everybody is doing
pretty good. It was too on the nose about being creepy. Creeping midnight. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Sure. Yep.
Okay. There's just three more here. Karen is currently ahead with six points. Dana and Colony
CHEF5. It is anybody's game of Carol or Stephen. Batman and Robin have an altercation.
That's the name of the
Batman and Robin
have an altercation
Whoever it is
I want to know more
about what it is
Yeah
Again
Yeah much like
Much like spaceship races
It's hard to
It's hard to imagine
Either of them
Quite writing this
So you say this is
The title of any work
It is either a
No it's either a song
Or a short story
Okay
Okay
So it's not
I don't believe
There's any novellas in here
It's not a tweet
No
It is not a tweet from either of them
It is not yes
They just tweet that
I can see this one really could be either
Really could go either
Everybody again you guys are rocking this
Because everybody gets Stephen
And everybody is correct
It is a short story titled
Batman and Robin have an altercation
It sounds like fan fiction
And I want to read it
Everybody gets a point
Everybody gets a point
Which is the same thing
As nobody getting a point
Word processor of the gods
Word processor of the god
Word processor of the god
Don't just jump immediately to Stephen King for this one
You don't know
Maybe Carol King wrote a song about the word processor of the gods
Maybe she was running out of juice
Maybe this is from like the 90s
It's funny because who still calls it word processor
I feel like it's somebody
The same age as those two
Like yeah
It's very maybe Carol King would have said Hyperator
Everybody says Stephen King.
Everybody is right.
I really just wanted that one in there.
This word processor of the gods is about, get this one, an aging, disaffected writer who gets tired of his family and writes them out of existence using a magical word processing.
I like to imagine, like, his family picking up the draft and reading it, you know.
What you're working on, Steve?
It's not about us, right?
Um, and then finally, here we go.
This is really scratch your heads over this one.
The image collector.
Ooh.
The image collector.
These all sound like good Twilight Zone episodes too.
Don't they all just don't?
I think that's, I think that really gets to what's interesting about this is that
divorced from all content, uh, or all context, rather.
We have these, these sort of either song title or a story title sort of floating around in
the ether and you could, you could pin them on on anything or they could be a, a
Twilight Zone episode as well. They all sound very
mysterious. Let's have some
answers. No, I was trying
to be weird and break free.
Oh, no. I can
totally see this being a Stephen King short story
about somebody who goes around collecting photographs
of people and then killing them, but
it is a Carol King song.
So everybody did real good on that.
Real, real, yeah, wow, great round for
everybody on this. Well, anyway, Dana
and Colin both did great with seven points, but
Karen, with eight big ones,
is the winner
of the second and last installment of, you know what,
I'm going out on top, baby.
But yes, thank you for one more round of Carol or Stephen.
Nice.
All right.
It's time for our last segment here.
Now, I have a listener submitted quick quiz submitted a while ago by Carolyn Jersowski,
who works as an international school school.
librarian. She has worked in international Guangzhou, China, Abuja, Nigeria, Kobe, Japan, and she's
currently in Hanoi. She wanted to give a quick shout out to Christine Sue, who introduced her to this show.
And Carolyn runs trivia nights for other international school teachers, which is pretty cool.
And one of her favorite Good Job Brain segments is Colin, your classic, your signature segment,
Brad Pitt or Lasers. All right. And what I'm going to do is provide.
I do with two completely random people or things or concepts. And all you have to do is tell me
which one came first. I think by far our often most quoted shocking one colony had was Betty White
or penicillin. Turns out it's Betty White. Turns out it is. And bless her heart. She's still
going as of today recording right now. Bless her heart. Here we go. Brad Pitter-Lazers written by
Carolyn. First question. Kim Kardashian or Ms. Pac-Man. Okay. Okay. Can we work these as a team or you want
individual answers? We can work as a team. All right. All right. Because I feel confident Chris could
give us a year for Ms. Pac-Man. It was 81 or 82. Okay. And I feel pretty confident that Dana could
give us a year for Kim Kardashian.
I feel like we have the toolkit to do this.
She's 80. She's 80 or 81, I believe.
Yeah, I think she, I feel like she's, I feel like she's like, so I've been, she's not
the oldest. She's not the oldest. She's the second oldest. I would have to imagine that Kim
Kardashian before Ms. Pac-Man, but not, not by much. Yeah, yeah. You are correct.
Kim Kardashian. Data on the nose, 1980. Okay. Ms. Pacman 82.
82.
Excellent.
However, Pac-Man is 80.
Oh.
Well, you know, he had to save up and then bring the family over later.
It happens a lot.
From the old country.
Yeah.
That works.
Yeah.
Next question.
K-pop super group, BTS, their debut album, which is Too Cool for School, or the Game
of Thrones premiere on HBO.
Okay.
Importantly, in Too Cool for School, are,
Are the numerals used?
They are used.
They are used.
The number two, cool.
Okay.
Number four school.
I think BTS debuted about 10 years ago.
I think Game of Thrones came before BTS.
Okay.
Man, the irony, of course, is that Karen would know this just immediately, but she will
not tell us.
I see her smirking here on our video.
I'm a baby BTS follower now.
I was like, oh, it was just Junkook's birthday.
Some clues.
maybe it's helpful or not.
So, you know, the oldest member of BTS has been in the news because they're approaching
the South Korean mandated military service.
And the age cap is 28.
I think it's Game of Thrones.
Yeah, I'll say Game of Thrones.
You are correct.
Game of Thrones.
2011.
BTS's big debut was 2013.
They just celebrated their eighth year anniversary this year.
Last Brad Pitt or lasers, here we go.
Which one came first?
Coca-Cola or Pablo Picasso?
Oh, nice.
Well, okay, so Coca-Cola 18-80s?
Yeah, 1880s?
I think it's Coca-Cola.
Yeah, I think so, too.
Picasso came first.
Okay.
1881 is his birthday, birth year.
Coca-Cola 1886.
Okay.
Just five years later.
And, you know, I mean, I feel like I know a fair amount about Picasso as well, too.
But you know what threw me off with them is that I feel like, you know,
and no disrespect if you were born in 1881 and you're a fan of our show.
But I feel like there's a certain generation of people where you just looked older when you were a lot younger.
You know what I mean?
Like you could show me a photo of Picasso.
Yeah, yeah.
He's like, oh, he looks like he's 60.
He's like, oh, no, he's 34 in this photo.
Yeah.
All right.
Good job, everybody.
Thank you, Carolyn, for this awesome round.
