You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
Aloha, audio files, astutely ascertaining accents and accessories about atlases.
This is Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.
Today shows episode 220.
and, of course, I am your humble host, Karen,
and we are your bodacious bunch of boisterous baby bringers.
I'm Colin.
I'm Dana.
And I'm Chris.
I can do a good impression of my baby.
She says,
Oh, yeah?
No, no, no, now, now, now, now, now, now.
Our daughter is just about to be two, and so she'll be like, no!
And then if she'll, and then if I'm like, really, then she'll get down on all.
fours and be like, no, okay?
How do they know?
How do they know that no is like, it has such power?
Because you stop what you're doing.
And today we have a very special guest joining us for Pop Quiz Hot Shot.
Colin, do you want to say some words about our special guest, tease it out?
I'd be delighted to say some words.
Yeah. So as you all know, regular listeners, I live in lovely Berkeley, California. And one of the things I used to love to do, especially pre-pandemic, was I like to get out and walk up and down Telegraph Avenue.
One of the things that was going on on Telegraph is there's always a lot of construction and building. And I noticed that a couple of the businesses along Telegraph, when they were undergoing remodeling or, you know, changing into a new business, they would, instead of just putting up regular old boring plywood covers on the outside.
as you might see in a big city.
They would put up the covers and there would be a really cool art piece on it, a mural.
And I was like, wow, this is really neat.
And I noticed another one a couple blocks away.
I got up close and I'm like, huh, okay, the artist has their signature here.
And I went and I looked up the artist online.
I found out it was an artist named Nigel Sussman, saw that he was local.
And then about a year or so ago, I moved into a new house, still in Berkeley.
And the house that I'm in now, when you come up off the freeway, you come along, Gilman,
right by the punk club, of course, but I'm getting sidetracked.
So as you're coming up off the freeway toward 924 Gilman, you pass another mural.
It says, welcome to West Berkeley.
And I was like, that's another Nigel Sussman.
I had gotten to the point that I could recognize the artwork just based on the visuals.
Purely by happenstance, I was clicking through Twitter at one point, you know, a few months ago.
And I noticed that Nigel Sussman followed Good Job Brain on Twitter.
And I said, you guys, I was like kind of fan.
boying out here a minute. I was like, you guys, do you know who Nigel Sussman is? And then I shared
a link. And I was in there. And of course, everybody's like, oh, yes, I've seen those. Yeah.
I mean, we all live in the Bay Area. I said, I wonder if we could approach this cool artist and
ask if maybe he'd like to collaborate with us in some way, shape, or form. And I said, he's too
cool for us. We're not cool enough. But yes, we have the one and only Nigel Sussman here in our,
in the studio, in the virtual studio today. Welcome, Nigel. Hello.
Yay. Hi. Hi, everybody. Thanks for having me. This is exciting. Stoke to be contacted by you,
because I've fanboying a little bit too. I've been listening to Good Job and Praying for
years. Wow. And so I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when you contacted me. I love
being associated with stuff that I like. Thanks for the great intro column.
he has done something very special for us
he has made an original
good job brain illustration for us
for you the listeners and it is a real
ode to some of the things that we love
on good job brain primarily food
Nigel made a super cool illustration
of almost like all of the interesting food bits
that we've talked about for the last 10 years
it's so cool you guys I'm so glad you like it
Food is a big part of my work.
You're got to be crazy if you're not into some kind of food.
So it's a way that we all connect.
So to make something that references all of the food stuff that good job,
Brain has been obsessed with over the years.
And it's like weird and quirky things, which kind of tells a story.
Nigel, how would you describe this piece that you've made?
It's a big brain made out of food that has all of these references.
to the food, and I've labeled them, so that makes it sort of scientific and instructional.
The blend of irreverent and educational.
Irreverent is the...
100% on brand. Yeah. I like it because it's so dense.
Yeah, it has a great, what I like is a Where's Waldo effect.
The 20-year-old stick of gum is now immortalized forever.
It makes my taste buds fire. You know what I mean?
like the power of suggestion.
Yeah.
A little pavons.
And Nigel's fantastic illustration is available in our new merch store.
We now have a shop on Red Bubble where you can get some good job brain stuff.
You can get Nigel's brain food illustration printed on a shirt, on a poster, and on my favorite, on an apron.
We also have our classic logo available on shirts, too, of any color of your choosing.
We have mustache face masks for all ages.
and a poster commemorating our favorite noted normal person, Thomas Edison, that lists out all 146 of his insane job application trivia questions, which was hilariously featured in a past segment.
So head on over to redbubble.com slash people slash good job brain slash explore or it's just going to be hotlinked from our website, good jobbrain.com.
Well, Nigel, you're going to join us for our first general trivia segment, Pop Quiz, Hot Shot.
How this is going to work, because Nigel doesn't have a buzzer.
He's going to meow.
Cats show up in my work for one reason or another, so I feel like that's fitting.
Here we go, everybody.
I have a random trivial pursuit card.
You guys have your barnyard buzzers.
Nigel has his meow mouth
and let's answer some questions
First question, Blue Edge for geography
In 1814
Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled to what island
in the Mediterranean?
Multiple choice
Oh, come on, all right
Okay
No, no, please, please, give us the choice
Three choices, Corsica, Elba or Malta

Pink Wedge for pop culture
We're going to go around the room for this one
Okay
The question is

Of the five spice girls
All right
I'm going to call on you
And tell me
Bonus Point if you know their real name as well
All right
Nigel, guest of honor
You can go first
This is not my forte right here

I don't know the real
I definitely don't know real names
I'm not even going to try

Beckham. Correct.
You said sporty spice. That's
Mel B? No, Mel C.
C. M. C.
Scary is Mel B. Correct.
Then there's Baby Spice.
Who's Emma Bunsen.
Bunton. Bunton.
Wow. Yes. And then Ginger
is Jerry Hallowell.
Correct. Wow. Oh, ginger spice is one.
I knew more of those than I thought I might.
I forgot the baby one.
All you forgot was baby. You put baby spice in the corner.
next question yellow edge true or false give me thumbs up for true thumbs down for false the first apple pie was made by american colonists in boston true or false the first apple pie was made by american colonists in boston i refuse to believe nobody ever thought of this before them yeah yeah definitely i know it is you are correct it is false it says the first the first
first recorded recipe is from 14th century England.
Yeah, I mean, duh.
Yeah, come on.
Purple Wedge.
This is, what a weird card today.
All right.
Purple Wedge.
With what color is the boys named Rufus commonly associated?
What?
Okay.
All right.
Does it, does it mean something perhaps?
Uh, Chris.
Red.
Just like, yes.
It looks like it's going that direction.
You are correct.
The card says specifically brownish-red or redish-brown.
The color of a roof.
Yeah, maybe it's just etymology.
A whole spectrum.
Yeah, it runs the spectrum from reddish-brown to brownish-rored.
I feel like I should have known that.
I guess that was a question for an artist.
Yeah, I've dropped the ball big time on that one.
There's no roofish crayon, I don't think.
Yet.
All right.
Greenwich for science, what is the name of the rare second full moon in a single month?
Oh.
So, in context, every month has a full moon, and every month's full moon has a name, right, based on, like, the farmer's almanac.
It was just this Friday.
Yes, it was the beaver moon.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was, it seems appropriate.
It does.
Chris, you must it.
Is this a blue moon?
Yes, it is a blue moon.
Once in a blue moon.
Didn't want to overthink it.
All right.
Last question.
Orange Wedge.
Okay, for the sports people, person, people.
Nigel, how good are you at sports?
Very small sports knowledge.
But if it's not baseball, I don't got anything.
That's good, because, yeah, I'm not super strong in the baseball.
Yeah.
Well, this is not baseball.
Chuck Foreman lost his chance to win the NFC rushing title in 1975 when a Buffalo fan.
when a Buffalo fan, not a Buffalo, a fan from the city of Buffalo.
Yes, yes, not a Buffalo who was a fan.
Hit him in the eye with what?
Once again, once again.
Chuck Foreman lost his chance to win the NFC rushing title in 1975
when a Buffalo fan hit him in the eye with what?
Meow?
No, I got a joke answer.
Is it a chicken wing?
No.
Yeah. I wish.
Oh, my gosh.
That's a good answer.
No, it makes too much sense.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah.
Knowing, knowing Buffalo and Buffalo fans, perhaps, and I'm hoping that it wouldn't be something really gruesome or it wouldn't make it on its way to a card.
I'm going to guess a snowball.
Oh, my God.
You're correct.
Wow.
Nice.
Wow.
Holy cow.
Impressive.
I thought it was a hot dog or something like that.
And there have, you know, there have been, like, instances of, like, fans, you know, doing, again, I don't endorse this.
anyway, throwing coins and things on the field.
But I don't think they would put that on a card.
Like, whereas a snowball seems kind of just on that line where...
But if someone did throw coins or something, like, they would kick you out.
Oh, yeah.
If they can identify you.
Absolutely.
Yeah, if they can identify you, they will kick you out for sure.
Oh.
Cool.
Well, good job, Brains.
That was our pop quiz.
Nigel, did you used to play pub trivia at all?
I've done a couple times.
It's a lifestyle.
Oh, yeah.
That is the best way to describe it.
I mean, I didn't do well with...
the Spice Girls, but I have a lot of music knowledge and some science stuff.
Music is always valuable on a pub quiz.
Music and sports.
I think between the four of us, like, we span a pretty good decade by decade of music
trivia that we kind of cover each other's gaps and holes.
You know different pieces.
Yeah.
Nigel, thank you so much for joining us.
Anything you would like to share, anything you want to plug.
Oh, we have a plug theme song.
I'll play it here.
Who's got something a plug?
Holidays coming up again, and I got a, I still have these alphabet books that I'm trying to
sell.
You can order them most easily through my site.
You can follow me on mostly Instagram or at Nigel Sussman.
Nigel, you're working some of the commissions for some of the big names in the big area,
and we're so appreciative and thankful.
that you were able to carve out time
to do something for us.
We appreciate it.
It's so awesome.
Yeah, thank you for having me.
This was fun.
And I have one Patreon listener fan fact.
This one is from Claire Norris.
And her fun fact to share is that as the pyramids of Giza were being built,
woolly mammoths still lived.
They happen at the same time.
That's crazy to me.
She is a science teacher, and so this is one of the facts that she tells her science class.
So as the pyramids are being built, a woolly mammoth still roamed the earth.
That's great.
My window and perception of time comes very cloudy when we talk about prehistoric stuff.
That seems to me, you know, really, really shocking.
Didn't we get, I think somebody posted on the Good Job Brain Facebook group that there was
a window of time when a samurai could have sent a fax to Abraham Lincoln.
Yeah, that's a great example.
I was just thinking about that.
That's right.
Yeah, because I guess for a certain definition of a facsimile machine.
I looked more into woolly mammoths, and this is something I found.
According to the OED Oxford English Dictionary, Thomas Jefferson, American President
Thomas Jefferson, was partially responsible for using the word mammoth to describe
big things like he was one of the people who started using the term mammoth to talk about something
that is very very very big and what he was describing that was mammoth was a cheese wheel
Cheshire which is a city in Massachusetts they once combined the milk from every cow
of the town of Cheshire. Cheshire created this massive cheese wheel
and gifted it to Thomas Jefferson.
Oh, sure.
We're going to give him the biggest cheese he's ever seen in his life.
He'll never forget us.
He's going to need to coin a new usage to capture.
He's never going to poop again.
Okay.
On with the show.
Today is episode 220 in every fifth episode.
We don't have a topic or a theme, and it's just us making our own random quizzes to stump each other and stump you guys, listeners.
So today, it's All Quiz Bonanza, number 44.
So I have decided that I'm going to bring back an old segment.
I did a couple of variations on this.
this segment is titled first in line first in line the second coming this is the sequel to first in line
and what this is is i will give you the first line spoken in a movie and you will tell me what the
movie is now something that i learn in researching this quiz is that you really have to be
careful and double and triple check this stuff because there are so many um lists online of the
best first lines in movies that say things like they're like the best first line in a movie is
as far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a gangster good fellas and it's like
that's funny because that is in no way the first line of that movie that is the last line of
the first scene of the movie that like people remember it's an incredibly memorable line
because it smashes after that right to the title of the movie.
But it's not, the first line of Goodfellis is actually,
what the F is that?
That's the first line of Goodfellas.
So there are so many of these lists where they,
they, oh, it's like, here's the first line of this movie,
and it's a memorable line from the first scene,
but it is not the first thing that is, I don't know it.
In this case, I believe, um, actually means,
if you have to, listeners, I'm pretty positive that these are the first lines that you hear
spoken in the film. So here we go. And I want you all to write this down just because I just enjoy
write down. I'll just keep score for everybody and we'll see how you all do. Are you ready?
Yes. Here we go. Question one. I was 12 going on 13 the first time I saw a dead human being.
I was 12 going on 13, the first time I saw a dead human being.
I believe I just watched this movie if I'm correct.
And I'm going to feel very silly if I'm wrong.
All right.
Answers up.
Everybody says stand by me and everyone is correct.
Yay.
That's by Stephen King, right?
It was based on the novella called The Body by
Oh, okay
Am I insane or was there a scene in that movie
Where like someone puked and then someone saw that person puke
And then everybody ended up puking
It's the story within the story, yeah, that's right
It's at the pie eating contest
Which is one of the stories, yeah, that one of the boys
Tells the other boys.
Okay, okay, I'm not crazy.
That traumatized me more than the dead body.
All right, here we go. Question number two.
If I live to be a hundred, I'll never be able to forget that big snowstorm a couple of years ago.
The weather closed in and, well, you might not believe it, but the world almost missed Christmas.
Give it to you again.
If I live to be a hundred, I'll never be able to forget that big snowstorm a couple of years ago.
The weather closed in and, well, you might not believe it, but the world only...
almost missed Christmas.
Oh.
It is a movie.
Answers up.
Karen says,
Ice Storm.
Colin says,
It's a wonderful life.
And Dana,
Dana says 2012,
2012 with Dana's answer.
I have stumped you all.
the answer is
Rudolph the red nose
Rangia.
Wow.
The claymation one?
The clay that's the one.
Well, I think it was puppets, but yes, yes.
You're thinking of the same one.
So dramatic.
Yeah, right?
It's like an apocalyptic.
I gave it a real dramatic reading for you.
It's coming off of stand by me about a dead body.
So I think I put it in your head that it's, yeah,
it's going to be drama.
That I was like, but it's a children's thing.
But I just couldn't get there.
Yeah.
All right. Question number three.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold.
Oh, man.
Collin looks confident. Karen and Dana are making faces.
I'm like, I feel like I know, I have an idea of what movie it is.
I can see the poster.
I can't read the poster, my mom.
I'm trying to like, see if I can read the title of the movie.
Yeah.
We're going to have to ask for answers in a few seconds here.
So write down something that you think might get you half a point, the mercy point.
Oh, okay.
Are we doing that?
No, we're not.
We're not.
Oh, it's hard.
You know, just for pure entertainment.
I did so well on.
Partial credit in school.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, my goodness.
Oh, no.
Oh, Dana.
Oh, no.
You poor thing.
You poor thing.
Colin, so Dana has written leaving Las Vegas, which is a movie.
I knew that was wrong.
Whereas Colin and Karen have written fear and loathing in Las Vegas, which is the name
of the film.
And the Hunter S. Thompson short story on which is based, which began the same iconic line.
I actually found, I've been thinking about this because I was at the flea market,
maybe a couple of months back and found the issue of Rolling Stone, that short story actually
initially appeared in. Yeah, I found that issue of Rolling Stone. They bought it and they sold it for a
bunch of money. Are we sure we're not doing partial credit? Because that, I knew that was what I was trying
to get to. But I can't, I can't give it. You know what? Yes, you know, hold on. I was like,
it's Johnny Depp. The poster's kind of trippy. I was like, what? I can't see the title. What's it say?
Okay. I'm going to give you.
you like a little tiebreaker asterisk such that if there is a tie at the end of this I will
give me the nudge based on it. Right now Karen and Colin have two points you have one point
with a little star. All right. Karen you and I have to start lobbying for additional asterisks
here too. Question number four. It all began on New Year's Day in my 32nd year of being single.
once again, I found myself on my own
and going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet.
This movie inspired me to make turkey curry
just because they talked about it and ate it.
Oh, it was great.
You know what?
It turned out to be the perfect way for me
to use all like the Thanksgiving leftovers and all the bits.
I just made a giant pot of essentially like turkey ticamasa, basically.
And ate it for like a week.
Yes, it all began on New Year's Day.
My 32nd year of being single.
Once again, I found myself on my own and going for my mother's annual turkey curry buffet.
Answers go up.
And.
Oh.
Yes.
So Karen and Dana have said Bridget Jones Diary, which is the right answer.
And column has put love actual.
Now, Chris, I'm going to have to lobby here for a partial point because these movies both take place in England, I believe.
So I think that it's fairly obvious that I was in some way thinking of Bridget Jones' diary.
I would just like to request some consideration.
The first scene of love actually is not at a buffet.
At an airport.
Q. Grant is in both of them.
Well, we'll just take it under advisement, Chris.
This is all I'm saying.
How about half an asterisk?
I'm giving you a half an asterisk.
One half of an asterisk.
So, Colin, if you can earn another half an asterisk, you will tie Dana's asterisk.
Oh, oh, okay.
All right.
They have to move to something else.
That's what we're doing now.
Yeah, okay.
All right, question number five, there was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy.
There was a boy, a very strange enchanted boy.
Karen wrote something down confidently
and has a big, big old grin on her face right now.
Okay.
All right.
Well, that helps me.
Well, how is that?
The chances of it being something Disney means is now,
the chances have just gone up.
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
Yep.
It's probably about a dog.
It could be the title.
It's not, I'm going to spoil it.
It's not the first line of airbud.
But it could be.
But it could be.
Yeah.
Okay.
All right.
come on let's have some answers in a couple of seconds here or something write down something um Colin writes down
you know a pretty good guess that but I was actually thinking that um somebody might guess that
Colin says pinocchio um uh Dana has written down Harry Potter in the chamber of secrets but the only
person who is correct is indeed Karen who has correctly uh nailed it as the first the opening lines of the
for song in Moulon Rouge.
I haven't seen that either.
What?
Nice.
It's great.
Nice.
Can I lobby for extra asterisk or parts of an asterisk?
No, no.
Now, hang on here.
Moulon Rouge exclamation point.
Exclamation point.
That's the official title of the movie.
I'm going to, yeah.
So I'm going to put an exclamation point next to your points.
Yeah.
We may reveal later on.
what that means.
Yeah.
All right.
Good luck
cashing that one in, Karen.
Yep.
Never know.
You never know.
It might come into play.
It might come into play.
Question six.
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.
Okay.
Whenever Karen's laughing.
She might know it.
She might know.
Who knows?
Whenever I get gloomy with the state of the world,
I think about the arrivals gate at Heathrow Airport.
okay uh karen everybody has everyone has loved actual you totally did this time it is
actually love actually yes great job okay call it if i didn't say it happened at airport would
you have gotten it no Karen no 100% i still would have put love actually just he throw was enough
for me to yeah i was like oh there we all right all right uh three questions left Karen has five
points and an exclamation point, Colin has three points and half an asterisk, and Dana has three
points with an asterisk.
Oh.
Okay.
Here we go.
You might come into play.
We'll see.
It might come into play.
I believe in America.
America has made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in the American fashion.
Hmm.
I believe in America.
America has made my fortune, and I raised my daughter in the American fashion.
fashion we have some answers maybe write down something all right okay you've asked this one before
oh this is right so dana says american beauty uh karen says the godfather and colin has written
the godfather 100 percent so the way you read it deprived of all context you're like
right that's what i'm trying to do exactly exactly it's not a scene reading yeah yeah
I really like that. I really love that intro.
I mean, for me, that's like, that's really just one of the best introductions.
Yeah.
And the best openers in movies.
The character's name is Amerigo Bonacera, which means good night in America.
Oh.
That's, that's him basically saying, like, I tried to, you know, follow all the rules in America.
But, like, it didn't work out for me.
So, and it sort of gets at the, the central sort of conflict of the film.
All right.
Just two more, two more.
Everybody gets a point on that one.
Oh, no, excuse me.
Karen and Colin get points on that one.
Yeah.
And, um, okay, two more.
People do not give it credence that a young girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood, but it did happen.
People do not give it credence that a young girl could leave home and go off in the wintertime to avenge her father's blood, but it did happen.
This is from a, it's from a movie, these are all from movies, but this is a, it's a little bit of a rewrite of,
the first line
of the book
that's a hint this movie is based on a book
has so many of them are
so it's really narrow it down that much
oh have I stumped everybody
write down something
alright so let's okay write something
it's fine oh maybe
that's right I don't know
All right. Anna has written Hannah
Karen has written Girl with the Dragon tattoo
Colin has written True Grit
and Colin is correct
specifically the
I believe the Cohen Brothers
recent remake of it, which uses
that first line out of the book
whereas I think the original
filmed version did not.
We have one final question.
Karen has six, Colin has five.
Dana has three. One final
movie. There we go.
All right, everyone.
This is a stick up. Don't
anybody move. Now empty
that safe.
All right,
everyone. This is a stick up.
Don't anybody move.
Now empty that safe.
I feel like now it's just thinking like what movie starts with a stick up.
With a stic up.
With a bank robbery.
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm, I, I'm, I'm, I, I'm, I feel better about my memory of the movie than I do about
the title, man.
Me too, me too.
Okay.
I bet we're on the same wavelength.
All right.
Okay.
Well, I'll tell you.
I mean, this, this, this movie was huge, huge movie.
Yeah.
All right.
Massive.
All right.
I think it's going to come down to this, Karen.
All right.
Let's see some answers.
Let's find out.
Did anybody get it?
Colin says the dark night.
Karen says the dark night.
And Dana says Batman.
We're all of them.
I get another estrus.
And the answer is toy story.
that is the first line of toy story
spoken by Andy
through Mr. Potato Head.
That's right.
Okay. That's great.
All right.
So Karen did not even,
Karen did not even need to use
her exclamation point that she had.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah. You're going to want to bank that for later.
She's got six points and is the big winner.
guessing a lot of lines from a lot of
very different movies. So some
good performance there for sure. Oh my gosh.
Once Colin was like, I'm not sure
about the title. I was like, oh, I mean
either. Which one is it?
Which Batman movie could it be? And you're

Good job Brain.
So I wanted to talk about a crayon color that came out in 2017 with, I think my favorite punny
color name. And that is
bludiful. Beautiful, but blue.
I think it's a solid pun. I saw
on the internet, other people are less impressed, but I like
pun. So I was like, yes, crayola, you nailed it.
Anyway, it's based on a new blue color. It was discovered in 2009.
Yeah, it's the first new blue pigment that was found in 200 years
called Yinman, which is Etrium. I think I pronounce it. I don't know if I'm
not do that currently. Itrium, Indian, and manganese oxides mixed together and made this blue.
I love it.
Nobody had known before, and then Crayola made the blue color called Blutiful based on that.
Crayola has kind of a history, though, of having like a ton of crayons and some of the names
are not punny at all.
In fact, you maybe have no idea what color it is based on the name.
For instance, like the classic one that I was like, what is cornflower?
Blue.
It's blue.
Right.
But when you're a kid, you're like, corn is yellow.
Why is this crayon blue?
I definitely as a kid was confused by cornflower for sure.
But yeah.
So this quiz, though, is called What Color is this?
So I'll tell you a Crayola color.
It's not punny.
You just kind of have to guess or know already what colors is going to be.
All right.
So Buzz in.
I'll keep score.
And you tell me what color.
This is.
First one.
Wisteria.
What color is wisteria?
Oh, man.
Karen.
Purple.
Yeah.
It's like a kind of a lighter, mid-light purple.
I'm already sweating.
I know.
If we just knew our flowers litter, maybe.
How about this one?
Timberwolf.
What color is Timberwolf?
I think Chris maybe buzz first.
Is that gray?
it is gray
it's lightish gray
right yeah
could have been brown
could have been brown
well see I
I took a sports angle on that one
yeah that's right
the Minnesota Timberwolves
the NBA team
their wolf indeed
in their in their logos and such
is a grayish
is a gray wolf yeah
how about a bittersweet
Bittersweet
Brown
it's no
like chocolate
oh
yeah like chocolate
which makes him
Oh, how about this?
Chris.
Is it green?
No.
Why did you think it was green?
Because I thought maybe it was like the name of a minty type of plant.
You know what I mean?
Oh, oh, like stear mint?
Oh, good guess.
It's red.
It's like an orangey red.
It's not weird.
Weird.
Yeah.
How about orchid?
What color is orchid?
Hmm, I mean.
Is it like a little?
Is it like a white-ish color?
No.
No.
Pink.
Yeah.
White family.
No, not quite pink.
Pink purple.
Okay.
So its original name was medium red violet.
So it's like a reddish purple.
It's not really pink.
Okay.
Okay.
Yeah.
How about inchworm?
What color is inchworm?
Get out of it.
Yeah.
Colin.
I'll guess green.
Yes.
It's green.
Yeah.
A little green inchworm.
Oh, sure, like a little like a...
I just in my, yeah, children's book, universe vision.
Yeah, right.
Yes.
How about Fuzzy Wuzzy?
Fuzzy, what?
Chris.
Brown.
It's brown.
It used to be called Fuzzy Wuzzy Wuzzy Brown.
Right.
But like Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear.
Yeah.
Oh.
How about thistle?
Oh.
What color could be two.
I think Karen?
It could be the flower, which is pink or the green.
or the plant, which is green.
I'm a flower purple.
Yes.
It used to be light magenta,
but it's like a,
it's like the lightest purple, yeah.
What?
I wonder,
I don't really recall any of these colors
in my childhood Crayola super pack.
Some of these are new
and some of these are from like the deluxe one.
Okay.
And this one is actually a scented color,
but I thought it was so random.
I really,
okay.
What about shampoo?
What color is,
crayon, shampoo.
Wow, that's weird.
Colin.
Blue.
No.
Chris.
Yellow.
No.
Karen.
Orange.
No.
What is it?
It is carnation pink.
What?
And then I was like,
maybe I feel like I've seen pink shampoo bottles.
Like Mr. Bubbles, maybe?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's kind of a good shorthand, I guess.
I mean, it's better than anti-acid.
Oh, like Peptobismol.
That's the Peptobosol.
Crayon.
Yeah.
Anyway, that's it.
That's the quiz.
I just thought it was fun to, like, think about why we name things.
I'm so intrigued by Blue Diffle.
I want to go get one and look at one in person.
The idea of a new color seems so strange because I feel like at our disposal, we can, like,
mix and match whatever color nowadays, but, like, having a new color is kind of weird.
I feel like, Dana is our.
new color beat. I mean, Vanta Black, I learned from that. Blue to full, the new blue, like, new blue dropped. Yeah, okay, all right. Yeah. All right, everybody. It is all quiz number 44, and it's my turn. Big celebration in my household this week because it's the 15 year anniversary or adopt anniversary of my beloved dog, Cisco.
Cisco yeah
15 years
adoptversary
he's almost 16
because I got him as a puppy
he went from a puppy to now
a very extremely extremely
extremely old man dog
who still likes to get himself
into trouble once in a while
probably more so because like he's so old
that he just like doesn't care anymore
he's like you don't you know
I don't have to listen to you also
I can't listen to you because I'm deaf
This happens with people, too.
Yeah.
I want to celebrate his adoptversary and with my quiz, and my quiz is called Lala Puploosa.
It is a two-part quiz celebrating dogs and dog breeds.
I am the designated dog breed person at our pub trivia team.
Oh, hands down.
We're going to do part one first.
So I have a list of very famous dog characters, and I need you to buzzer.
with your barn or buzzer with their correct dog breed.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
All right.
What the character's dog breed supposedly is.
Okay.
They're in universe.
Yes.
Sometimes the dog doesn't look like the breed.
For example, if I said Snoopy, you'd buzz in with a beagle, even though he doesn't
really look like a beagle, but he's supposed to be a beagle.
Good example.
That was the only one that I was going to get right.
No, no, there are a lot. There are a lot. Okay. Well, we'll start with, we'll start up easy. All right. So, buzz in with your answer. Lassie.
Dana. A collie. Correct. Collie. Doug from Pixar's Up.
Oh, my goodness.
That was Dana again? A golden retriever?
Correct. Also, your bud. Earbud really is a golden retriever.
Pongo and Perdita.
Chris.
Dalmatians.
Dalmatians.
They're the parents in 101 Dalmatians.
They didn't have 1001 Dalmatian babies.
Yes.
Have we talked about this on the show before?
I was so for about your lawsuit against the Disney Corporation.
Oh, yeah, I spent a lot on legal fees and it went over.
No, so you know how like there's.
so many movies that just sort of
they're there in the sort of the cultural zeitgeist
but you haven't really seen the movie
like I don't think it's like I knew all about
it's like 101 Dalmatians and the dogs
and then the Cruella DeVille
and she wants the dogs but I had never seen
the movie for a really long
time until I saw the movie as an adult
I thought that
the mom Dalmatian
dog had given
Burke to
101 Dalmatians
I thought that she was to
and suddenly there's
101 little Dalmatian puppies that they had
and Kurella decided to steal all of them.
That's really what I...
And as it turns out, no, it's not about this
like the most pregnant dog in the world.
Right, right, right.
It's about, yeah, they end up with
101 because they get theirs back
plus all the other ones.
That's been captured.
They have 1001.
Dalmatians, but I for a long time was under
the assumption that it was just
just a bit, she was just full of...
Baby.
Oh, I guess, well, I guess if, technically it's not that much because if Pongo would pretty to count as two.
Exactly.
It's just 99.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, exactly.
Chris, we're in the same boat because I was like, all right.
There must have been 101 dogs, surely, for this title to make.
Right.
Like, I thought that that's, I did.
Yeah.
I still haven't seen that movie either.
Yep.
Exactly.
All right.
Moving on.

All right.
Scooby-Doo.
Scooby-Doo.
He has a breed?
Yeah.
Colin.
Isn't he a great dame?
He is a great dame.
So is Marmaduke, Astro from the Jetsons also.
Yeah, I don't know.
Maybe why in that era there are a lot of great dames.
I don't know.
Maybe because like they're the same kind of almost the same height as people.

Last one here for part one
We've gotten this at Pub trivia
either it was red to us
or it was like a picture round
where they show a picture of this dog.
Oh no.
The Odalay mop dog from Beck's album,
O'Dalay.
That was Colin.
I know this one.
It is a commondor.
Yes.
I know it only has the mop looking dog
from the O'Dale album cover.
Good job, everybody.
See, that wasn't that that wasn't that bad.
Okay, you're right.
You guys know your dog breeds.
All right.
So here I'm moving on.
on to part two. So my dog, Cisco, he is a Rottweiler mix. And I was like, kind of curious. I was like,
oh, what does Rottweiler mean? Because obviously, it's German for something. Turns out the breed is
named after the geographical region of Rottweil. So not very, not very exciting. Yes. Probably 95% of
the dog breeds are named after a region or a city or a person or mostly an area or a country. And then some
dog breeds are named they have very straightforward names like straight to the point descriptions of
what they do so for example Portuguese water dog it was like a Obama's dogs Portuguese water dog
German shepherd right they're shepherding sheep and they're German so pretty pretty self-explanatory
so here I have a quiz about famous dog breeds whose names are descriptions of the breed but in a
foreign language.
Okay.
Oh, okay.
All right.
So I will give you the direct translation of, of these dog breed names and some clues.
And you buzz in with the correct name of the dog breed I'm looking for.
All right?
All right.
So, for example, if I said, the giant miniature and standard breed of this dog literally
means snout in German named for its famous mustache snout, you would say,
Is that schnauzer?
It's schnauzer.
Schnauzer is snout in German.
All right, here we go.
Thanks to the internet, this dog breed exploded in popularity back in 2008, thanks to a Bay Area puppy cam.
Its breed name literally means firewood dog, mostly due to their fur color looking like fallen leaves and twigs.
That is Chris.
Is that Shibait, you know?
Yes, it is Shiba Inu.
Inu is dog.
Shiba means like firewood wood twigs.
Funny story, my friend was visiting the Bay Area and I was taking him around.
In the Bay Area, there are a lot of Shiba Inus.
And I've noticed that almost all of them have like Asian food names as their dog name.
Like there's a boba or a kimchi or a mochi or a sushi.
They all have like Asian food names.
And so I was like making this joke to my friend who's visiting.
And I was like, man, all these Shiba Innu's all have like Asian food names.
And so we're in line to get coffee.
And there's a lady behind us with her Shiba Inu.
And my friend decided to like test this theory out.
Oh, cute dog.
You know, to the lady, what's your dog's name?
And the lady's like, oh, my dog's name is Taco.
Oh, no.
Before we could say anything, she then followed up with Taco is octopus and jack.
Japanese.
So close.
Oh my God.
Every Shiba, you know, I know, and I know a lot, are all named after Japanese food.
Yeah.
There's no, like, Western, you know, there's no, like, tuna casserole or, like, stroganoff.
Borsh.
Yeah.
Borsh.
My Shiba E.
Oh, my God.
That's really cute.
Oh, if it's like a reddish.
Like a reddish dog.
Oh, that's cute.
Just forched.
I like that word.
Borsh.
Okay.
Sorry.
Go back to my quiz.
Okay.
This dog green name literally means rather low.
And these dogs are excellent ground scent trackers.
Rather low.
Rather low.
It's in French.
They're great at ground tracking, ground slipping tracking.
What dog is low to the?
ground. I'm just trying to think of any
dog with a French name.
That is
Chris, Chris, Chris.
Basset hound. Correct.
It is Basset hound.
Yes. Oh, like, Bob.
Yes.
All right. Next
one. This Asian dog breed's name
literally means sand skin,
known for its very short
hair and extremely
wrinkly skin.
Oh, Colin.
Is it, uh, Charpe?
Sharpay.
Yeah.
It is.
Choppy.
Sharpie go.
Sharpay.
Stan, Sanskin.
Next dog.
This toy dog, it's toy dog, literally means butterfly due to their face having like a butterfly-like look because of their big, upright ears and, like, trailing ear fur or ear hair.
Uh, Dana.
A papillon?
Papillon.
Correct.
Butterfly in French.
Yep.
This floofy dog is actually named for the German word for splash or puddle.
Pena.
Poodle?
Poodle.
Which is funny because we think of it as like, it's always portrayed as like a French-accented cartoon dog, you know?
Yeah.
It's actually German, German for Splash or Puddle because they're water dogs.
Oh, is it because of French.
Poodle is a is a is a breed yeah yeah yeah and that's the one all right good job everybody for la la laopoosa looser la laopoosa

August 1st.
And we got one last
quiz segment for this all-quiz.
Bonanza, Colin.
I have a quiz for you all
titled, What's That Number?
And it is a little bit of a grab bag.
And all of the questions and or answers
revolve around numbers, numerals in some way or another.
So I'll give you an example here.
I was, as you know, out camping a couple weekends ago.
and this was a big trip for me
for the first time my camping friend and I
we rented a four by four
and we got to just talking about abbreviations and stuff like that
so you all of course know what four by four stands for
right in colloquial usage no no anyone
wanted to give an out burger with four patty
like an off road vehicle
yeah it's four wheel drive vehicle right
got four wheels and four of them are powered
sort of the simplest way of looking at it.
Kind of just a shorthand for describing how many wheels or, you know,
really, really precisely how many axle ends does the vehicle have
and then how many of them are powered.
Right.
Other examples where the numbers kind of become a shorthand for the thing itself is really
what interested me.
So, you know, like a four, you know, we talk about a 45 record, right,
which, you know, as we all know, is short for the RPM, a 45 RPM record.
Oh, I see.
I like that.
Forty-fives, things like that.
Yeah, okay.
So let's get warmed up here.
So get your brains ready.
Get your buzzers ready.
We'll start off with one I know we have talked about before,
who's quickest on the draw.
The large American conglomerate corporation known as the 3M Corporation.
What do the 3Ms stand for in the 3M Corporation?
Karen.
Minnesota, mining manufacturer.
I'll give that to you.
That is absolutely right.
Minnesota mining and manufacturing company.
That's right.
And they did, in fact, start off way back in the early 1900s as a mining concern and manufacturing
concern.
Yes, in Minnesota.
So the 3M makers of by one count.
Yeah, tape among many other things, more than 60,000 products.
Wow.
What else do they make?
Post-its.
Oh, I mean, they make health care, you know, industrial.
worker safety they make, yeah, post-its among many other things, right.
Yeah, household goods, scotch tape.
All right, this is another one here.
This will be a one point for each kind of scenario here.
So you might want to get a pen or pencil ready.
Yeah, yeah, let's write these down, please.
These Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, also known as Six Flags, theme parks,
operates properties all over Canada, Mexico, the United States,
The name six flags is a reference to the flags of these six nations that historically had dominion over Texas.
For one point each, please name those six nations, nation states, entities.
I'm confident that you guys can get at least three or four here, if not all six.
How well do you know your U.S. history might come into play?
Whenever you're ready, hoist them up, hoist them up.
Okay.
Okay.
Airbud.
Chris has written Airbud, the micro-nation of air bud.
All right.
I will, great.
Answers up, I trust you.
I will let you score yourselves here.
I will read out the answers.
The answers are Spain.
Okay.
Got it.
France.
Got it.
Mexico.

Yeah.
The Confederate States of America.
Oh, you know, oh, man, I thought this was okay.
And the United States.
All right.
How many points you all got here?
Let's sell for four.
Five.
Five.
Okay.
All right.
Karen and Dana five.
Get your buzzers ready.
And I apologize.
There may be a little bit of bias on this one.
But I think you will all know this one.
About cats?
In 1996, the Nintendo 64.
was released, a legendary home console.
What does these 64 in Nintendo 64 stand for?
Chris?
The number of bits that the processor can handle at any given time.
Yeah, that's right.
64 bit processing.
Basically, bigger numbers, bigger data.
You can do more stuff with it.
You can do more cool 3D-ish stuff with it.
Even if many of the games were not necessarily taking 100% full advantage of it.
Yeah, it could do more.
You could just handle more information.
Do more math.
More math.
That's right.
More math, more fun.
Yeah.
That's right.
Were there any other 64 systems?
No, I don't think so.
Not at the time.
Or at least none that boasted about it in their name.
The great, great, great American product.
I have some.
In fact, I have many cans of this in my house, at least three in various places.
WD 40.
WD.40.
I knew it.
I'll tell you the first part.
The WD stands for water.
displacement. Now, I'll give you guys a multiple choice here on this one if you want to.
I'll give you more. Everyone gets a chance at a point here. Does the, does the 40 and WD. 40,
does it stand for the 40th formula that the original inventors came up with? Does it stand for
1940 the year it was brought to market? Or does it stand for the 40 year Rust Guarantee?
they had.
What I thought was none of these things.
What I...
WD.40.
Was none of these things?
Okay, so what was it?
It's the year it debuted.
Mm-hmm.
Was it the year it debuted, 1940?
Was it a 40-year rust guarantee?
Or was it the 40th formula
that the scientists experimented with?
Okay.
All right, answers up.
Answers up.
What do you all think here?
Chris says 1940.
Karen says 40th formula they came up with and Dana says 40 year guarantee.
Wow.
This is really the multiple choice question writer's dream here, the split ticket.
It is in fact, if you believe the company story, it is in fact the 40th formula that they came up with for a water displacing substance.
What do you guarantee sounds along?
Who's going to dispute?
it like four years later and be like dear company my I mean is it longer than a lifetime guarantee
that's true that's true it reminds me of um Heinz 57 like it's a braggy kind of number name
you know that's what I thought it was I mean I thought I thought I thought a WD 40 was ketchup I thought
it was 40 uses like 40 different uses oh yeah yeah okay right right right like these are all the
ways you can use it around the house 40 different places on the human body you can use it
I shouldn't leave you hanging on the year.
It was introduced in 1953 actually by a company called the Rocket Chemical Company.
They were creating like solvents and, you know, degrisers for aerospace manufacturers.
And it really was, the goal was water displacement.
Keep the water out.
Get the water out of there so things don't rust.
And yeah, so they can stay lubricated.
Another American success story, Motel 6, Motel 6.
You see them all over if you're doing road trips.
What does the 6 in Motel 6 stand for?
Get your buzzers out.
Karen.
$6 a night initially.
That is right.
Yeah, the Motel 6 chain, they were started in 1962.
Their original goal, it wasn't just like, oh, wow, things were cheap back then.
I mean, which in some sense they were.
The two founders, William Becker and Paul Green, Motel 6, was that they wanted to specifically start a budget, no frills, low-cost, you know, hotel, essentially, motel.
And so $6 in 1962 is a little bit over the equivalent of around $50 today.
So that's still, that's dirt cheap.
Like if you get like a $50, you know, hotel room, that's pretty good.
Yeah. And they really were super budget. Like, I mean, coin operated black and white TVs instead of, you know, free color TV like you might find at other chains. Yeah. There was no restaurant, which was kind of a big difference for sort of a chain, you know, hotel, motel in those days, like compared to like a holiday inn or something, like to not have a restaurant on site. Yeah, any way they could save money, Motel 6.
The entertainment company A24, originally A24 films, before they branched out into TV and other things like that, has become one of the most noteworthy players on the scene in the last 10, 12 years.
The premiere, at least prestige name in indie films in America right now, I mean, moonlight, hereditary, ladybird, uncut gems, the room on and on and on.
a lot of big hits.
This is a multiple choice here.
What does the A24?
An A24 stand for.
And I'll give you a choice here.
I'll give you multiple guests, multiple guests.
I won't make this too hard on you.
Does the A24 refer to a historic German cinema house?
Does it refer to an Italian motorway?
Or does it refer to a French postal code?
A24.
They are an American company.
Can you say the choices again, Roveman?
Yes, I'll give you the choices again.
824.
Is it stand for a historic German cinema house?
Does it stand for an Italian motorway?
Or is it a reference to a French postal code?
Wow, you're really good at writing fake answers.
Yeah.
They're all so believable.
I have a tough crowd.
I have a tough crowd.
I know it's got to pass your guy's bar.
Yeah.
I originally assumed that it was a reference to, you know, perhaps 24 frames per second film.
No, okay.
All right.
Chris says German cinema house.
Karen says French postal code.
And Dana says German theater house.
Oh, unfortunately, none of you got it.
It is, in fact, named after the A24 motorway in Italy.
Yeah.
This is kind of a very personal.
So A24 was founded in 2012 by some veterans of the film industry.
Daniel Katz, David Fenkel, and John Hodges.
The story goes that Katz was on a trip.
He was traveling with some friends.
And as he tells it, I always had dreams of starting my own company.
I was with a bunch of friends driving into Rome and I had this moment of clarity.
It was on the A24 motorway.
And in that moment, I was like, now it's time to go do this.
All right.
In 1995, an up-and-coming American band had just released their debut album.
In addition to attention from the local music scene,
they also caught the eye of an Irish band with the same name.
And indeed, that Irish band had been recording and performing for a few years,
sent this American band a request, essentially, to please knock it off.
You cannot use our name.
Now, the band really, really, it seemed, could not care any less.
They ultimately chose a random number to append to their name.
What was that number and or what is this band?
1995.
They added it to it.
Yeah, they added it to their name.
Dana.
Blink 186 or blink 185.
Oh, I'm sorry, Dana.
I cannot give that to you.
I'm sorry.
Blink 187.
No, what is their name?
Everyone's still incorrect.
Oh my God.
182?
Blink 182.
Not 185, not 186, not 187.
Yeah.
I'm becoming my dad.
He does.
Yeah.
I had always assumed there was some, I mean, even if it was stupid or dumb or local or all three of those, some meaning to the 182.
and blink 182 but no they say like it really was they were called blink originally and they got a letter
from an irish pop rock band name also named blink the band kept putting off the decision kept putting it off
their record label ultimately said to them guys if you do not choose a new name we're going to rename you
and so they just chose a random number and became blink 182 at that point okay last question for you guys
here.
All right.
Beginning in 1982 and continuing for decades, this phone number is widely accepted as the most
prank called phone number in American history.
What is this phone number?
Oh, everybody, at least in my hearing, go for it.
867-3-0-9.
It is 8609.
This is the name of the song, 867-5309 slash Jenny by Tommy Two Tone.
At its height in 1982s, if you were unfortunate enough to have this number, you might be receiving, you might be receiving as many as 5,000 phone calls a day.
God.
Yeah, yeah.
Oh, no.
And that's, in many, many, many areas, people were calling to have their phone number disconnected because it was just, it was virtually unusable if you have this, you know, thousands, 5,000 calls a day.
As late into the 2000s, even, people who had this number were trying to sell it, you know, places on eBay, things like that.
Yeah.
It's really interesting.
I learned eBay would shut these auctions down because you are not technically allowed to sell.
a phone number per se like you cannot just sell a phone number it's considered sort of a quasi public
resource now if the phone number is part of a business you know you could sell the business right
I mean like if you're you know 1 800 you know whatever 1 800 laptops you know you could sell
that number as part of your business but you as an individual you cannot just post your numbers so
some people have kind of indeed some businesses who have owned this number in various area
codes. The 800 and the 888 version of this number have changed hands several times over the years
for thousands of dollars. Wow. It's still to this day, I read a story by somebody who bought this
in the early 2000s plugged in the, you know, the phone. The minute you plug this line in,
it just starts ringing. It's just that it just starts ringing. Yeah. It's just,
Yeah, as late as 2013, there is a woman in Florida with this number.
I will not give out her area code, but she still says that she would get 50 calls a day as late as 2013 to 867-3-0-9.
Yeah, Jenny.
Yeah, many, many, many people named Jenny over the years hate this song.
Anybody with this phone number hates this song.
That was, what's that number?
And I think you guys did great as usual
And hopefully you learned a little something along the way
I always appreciate your your quiz title
It's always something like
Hey, who's poop is that
My favorite was
I think for our underwater episode
Colin had a quiz called the C word
Oh yes
S EA
I don't remember that
That's good
That's good I don't remember that
Well, folks, not to bring the energy down here or anything like that, but I have to remind you all of these tragic events of last week's podcast in which our on-again, off-again nemesis, Carmen San Mateo, international, now quite frankly interstellar thief of trivia-related items, absconded with what was to be our final prize for winning the trivia-based escape.
scape room. Yeah.
Yeah. And we found nothing in there
but an eight-track tape again
explaining to us.
She had handed off the prize
to one of her associates
in crime, Didi Convict.
Who took the prize and then left us
clues, which we solved
on the show to find out that
where she had taken the prize was outer space.
Fortunately, we
did remember from the
last escapade in which we had to go chasing after Carmen San Mateo, we were still in possession
of the fancy and ridiculous time interloper system, aka the Fartis. Yeah, our Fartis.
How can I forget the Fartis? It's our orange phone booth. Smellier on the inside than it seems
like it would be on the outside. Now, fortunately, we have been able to upgrade the Fartis
with the space blast off device,
the space blast off device,
which we're going to attach the,
or the SBD.
We'll attach the SBD to the Fartis
and finally be able to get into outer space.
So let's just press a few,
let's just press a few buttons here.
Magically, we are now in the vastness.
The majesty.
It's just big.
There's just a lot of outer space.
And I really wish that we had,
something telling us like where we should look in the universe we might we should look we look
around the Fartis and we find a you know a nice control panel that has two things on it
essentially right now there's a there's a button that says go to space we had already
pressed that to go to space okay and then there is a a knob for our interstellar sort of
communication radio system so we turn that
and kind of flip through the channels a little bit to see if there's any, you know,
communications coming in from outer space.
We do actually end up picking something up, and that is this.
11, 12, 5, 15, 18, 9, 15, 14, 14, 14, 19, 21, 21, 2, 21, 3.
It's a puzzle
One of those crazy stations
That just has somebody speaking out a bunch of numbers
Yeah it does seem like a puzzle
So here's the thing we
We listened to it and it turns out that
It loops from there
Like after that last number
It just keeps looping that series of numbers
And in fact it keeps looping to the extent
That we're not actually sure
Where it begins and when we're
Because we just sort of came in
We were able to tune it in
So listeners, everybody out there
Lobetrotters
can you use that loop of numbers to figure out where we're supposed to go in the vastness of space?
You should go to good jobbrain.com.
You should look for the farthest and maybe you should type in, I don't know, some sort of a destination for us.
And see if you can get it right.
We'll just chill out here in outer space until you guys have an answer, I guess, for us.
It's fine. We have tang. We have tang. We got the, we got the... Getting everywhere, unfortunately.
They say tang is for outer space. You can't just bring a canister of tang and just open it right up. It's not like it's, it's not like it's anti-gravity or anything. I feel like they should put that as a warning on the box.
It's an orange cloud. We can't see. Please help us. It's in my ears. We're going to, looks like it's going to take us about a week to clean up the tang. That's our show. Thank you guys for joining me and thank you guys listeners for listening in. Hope you learn.
