Good Job, Brain! - 234: SPECIAL - Lost Episode From the Vault

Episode Date: May 10, 2022

Can't think of a better way to spend our season finale than time travel back to 2018 when we recorded an All Quiz episode that we forgot about and never aired. So put get those fidget spinners out and get magically whisked away to a time where people tuned into HQ Trivia everyday, including Dana, who crafted a tricky multiple choice inspired by it. A time when NBA teams first debuted the jersey sponsor logo that inspired Colin to craft his hometown sponsor quiz. Karen goes international with a foreign language music round and a hard quiz about global pies. And Chris serves us a very refreshing music quiz. Be prepared for some amazing outdated references. Four years have never felt so long ago. But whether if it's 2022 or 2018, we're just happy you're here with us. Good Job, Brain is part of the Airwave Media podcast network.

You're listening to an airwave media podcast. Hello, cheerful cherry-cheeked cherubs checking for chestnuts to chew on. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 234. of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your original organisms orchestrating and organizing ornaments to orate unorthodoxly. I'm Colin. I'm Dana.

And I'm Chris. It's our season finale. We made it. We did it again. We did it again. Thanks to all of you who have participated in my wordal logic challenge this season. I made three wordal logic puzzles. or logic puzzles inspired by Wordle.

And it was in a couple of the past episodes. And if you want to play along or revisit or, you know, check them out. You can go to Good Jobbrain.com and you'll see like a scrolling wordel thing and you can click on it. Congratulations to all who have completed the challenge. Feel free to tweet at us or post on our Facebook fan group about how you went about solving those puzzles. I've been kind of contacting the people who have been tweeting about.

it be like oh how did you solve it just out of curiosity so check that out on our site and we are going to do something very different for today's episode uh so throughout the history of good job brain we've only had three un aired episodes i'm gonna test you guys i remember one was the uh was the Quentin Tarantino episode, which was a, it was a Kickstarter backer request, right? Yes. Yeah. It was a little hyper-focused, yeah. Yeah.

And I think the format and our quizzes, it was just, it just didn't really work that well. So we actually reconfigured that episode. That was very early on. One episode was completely lost. There was one where your laptop got stolen, right? Yeah. Looking at the titles of our episodes, there's one that's missing from the numbers. because we might find it again

and we might be able to put it back. Yeah, it'll surface on the dark web somewhere. And there is one episode. We simply forgot that we had recorded. I was going through my external hard drive and I was like, what is this? Oh, we were already recorded one episode back in 2018. And this is for all quiz, I believe, two,

2005, we just forgot that we did it. Yeah. Which is weird. Very special. Today, we're going to air that episode from the vault. As you listen through today's episode. Before you start composing your unactually emails, tweets, Facebook posts, listen all the way to the end. We'll play the original unaired episode and then we'll reconvene after that episode to review

and to reminisce and to talk about maybe some corrections. I think there are many of them. As you listen through the episode, see if you can find all the outdated references. So it's like a scavenger hunt. I like it. I like it. Well, before we dive into the vault, like Scrooge McDuck style here, before we dive into the vault for the back episode, I have been called to the carpet once again for an installment of our errors, corrections, omissions segment that we affectionately call.

Um, actually? So on our circles episode, going in circles, I was talking very excitedly about Rulow polygons. And this was in the context of the manhole dad trivia discussion. Uh, so I was mentioning that the concept of a curve of constant width, a shape that no matter how you rotate it, uh, is always have the same width across. And in addition to a circle, there are the family of Rulow polygons. And I talked about two.

in particular, and I got these right, of course. These are the prototypical, the Rulo triangle, which is a triangle, equilateral triangle. They're like inflated. Yeah, balloon-style triangle, yeah. Balloon, yeah, balloon triangle. And the 11-gon, the Rulo 11-Gon, Hendecagon shape used on the Canadian $1 coin. So those two, in addition to being good examples of Rulow polygons, are importantly, those are odd-sided polygons. And in my excitement, by definition, a rule of polygon must have an odd number of sides. Which makes sense, actually. It does make sense. It really does. You know, it does make sense. As Chris noted, as you rotate it, one side is kind of curved. It's opposite the

point. So, so any talk of a roulo hexagon, just abject foolishness on my part. So please ignore that. You're too hard on yourself. I think we're all too excited. Thanks to David on our good job brain lobetrotters fan group who pointed this out absolutely and a bunch of other people who piled on this brings us to our episode which we're going to play from the vault and so let's travel back in time to 2018 yeah when we actually recorded this episode at colin's house in person all together let's travel back in time do do do do do do do do do meritorious merrymakers and mer people. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.

This is episode 205 and of course I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your medley of meddlesome medalists who meditate about medusoids. Oh, I'm Colin. I'm Dana. I'm Chris. Let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz. Hot shot. And here I have a random tribut.

Trivial Pursuit card, not that random because it was the leftover card from last episode. Yes. But both cards were randomly chosen from the box. This is from Trivial Pursuit, Genus 4. Ah, yes. I took a quick glance. I think some things might have changed since then. Oh, okay.

Well, we'll see. Okay, all right. All right. All right. You guys have your buzzers ready. Listeners have your mental buzzers ready. Here we go. Blue Wedge for People and Places. What's the only country in South East?

East Asia to never be ruled by a European nation. I've talked about this before in a segment. Yeah, we should know that the only country to never be ruled by... Segment was about a food. Southeast Asia. I'm not going to venture...

It's probably not Vietnam. France and I believe it's not... I don't think it's Thailand. It's not Singapore because they had British. Yeah, that's right. Right. We're all overthinking it. You actually said it.

The answer is Thailand. This is where Pat Thai came from. I mean, Pat Thai was a big part of invention to kind of strengthen the nationalistic. Right. I remember you were saying it was like an ad hoc national dish, right? Because it was like, hey, we stood, you know, we've never been, you know, settled or colonized by European nation. That's definitely. We made some delicious noodles.

Yeah, yeah. This is like, let's have our own, like, our own identity. Uh, Pink Wedge for Arts and Entertainment. Here we go. what spineless cartoon superhero fights evil with the help of snot and Peter Puppy Chris

Is it plastic man? No Spineless cartoon superhero Fights evil with the help of Snott And Peter Puppie Oh no Oh

Is it Earthworm Jim? Correct Oh my goodness Oh wow Earthworm Jim And it's like this spineless Yeah, I was like jellyfish. It's like Spongebob, but he's not a superhero.

Yeah, right. It was a video game character originally, so I wouldn't think of him as anything must have had a cartoon. We might know more of a game character. Wow. All right. Yellow Edge for history. What 1992 event has been called the costliest natural disaster in U.S. history? 92.

Oh, Colin. No, no, I was going to say the Exxon Valdez, but that's, It's not natural. So Hurricane Andrew. Correct. Hurricane Andrew. It's probably different now. I think it's different.

Yeah. Katrina has got to have exceeded. Katrina has exceeded. Hart of you was probably pretty bad. You're right, right, right. Brown Wedge for Science and Nature. How many nostrils? I like this question already.

I like it already. I'm sorry. Grace in elephant's trunk. How many nostrils? Grace and elephant. trunk Dana Two?

It is two Okay yeah I was like wait They don't usually Do trick questions I think most people think it's one tube Oh

I see Okay that's the trick In my head I have Dumbo Got it And so he has two little It's like It's not a hose

I was like Is there a secret third But I was Right Greenwich The ground Yeah The ground

Nostril Yeah Yeah Oh you see this In your newer Elephants Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Some of these elephants are pre-code.

They're not going to have that third nostril. Be careful what you plug in there. Green Wedge for Sports and Leisure. What did Chris Sabo shower the field with when his bat broke in a July 31st, 1996 game? Chris. I'm going to say sawdust. Incorrect. Well, this was one of the loaded bat explosions.

I believe his was the little super. balls, right? It was like little rubber balls. It wasn't corked, or was it a cork bat? It says cork. It was cork. Okay. I don't understand this question at all. Can someone explain it? Well, Colin can explain it better than me. So there are, first of all, I would say this is a hotly debated issue whether this is good science or bad science. But either way. There is a longstanding tradition among some ball players who believe that if you hollow out your baseball bat, which again, in major leagues, by regulation, it must be solid wood. Those are the rules. Solid wood bat. So they believe that if you hollow out the bat and replace it with a less dense or springier substance that

you will improve your chances of hitting big shots because depending on your reasoning it's lighter to swing it's either or both that it's a lighter faster swing so you can increase your velocity but of course the scientist will point out while you're dropping mass which means you're not imparting as much energy or you're replacing it with something that's springier like cork or rubber balls so you're increasing the coefficient of restitution which again some of the science is not so clear on that

Sammy Soso was famously caught for this as well like he had a shattered bat and then the ump is like wait let me take a look at that because you can see bits of cork in the middle of the bat well do the shattered bats incidents happen more because they're hollow bats? Yes they do

that's kind of dumb yeah it is it's super dumb because you're going to get in so much trouble if you get caught Okay. All right. Last question. Wildcard. Orange Wedge. What did Willie Sutton claim he never said when asked, quote, why do you rob banks? Oh. Why do you rob banks? What is the answer? I believe that the quote is some variation of because that's where they keep the money. Because that's where the money is. Okay. All right. Yeah. Yeah. He didn't say.

denied saying it. All right, good job brains. Guess what, everyone? It's episode 205. Every fifth episode, we don't have an overarching topic or a theme. It's an all quiz. So all of us have created quizzes and puzzles to challenge each other and also trying to stump you guys, listeners. So today is our all quiz number 41. All right, well, I'll start us off. I think I have a first for our show, certainly a first for me, which is I think I may have put together the first combination sports and non-sports quiz. You can approach it from both angles and hopefully still have a good time.

All right. We'll see how this plays out. So please have a good attitude, bear with me. I think this will be fun. I think this will be fun. I don't know what's going to have this. All right, but let's start. I'm going to give you guys a little bit of backstory here.

So as you guys know, I am a big basketball fan. I watch a lot of NBA. This is the fourth year in a row. It is the Golden State Warriors playing against the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is the first time that's ever happened in the North American pro sports of the same two teams meeting four years in a row for the championship. So have that, you know, on your... trivia radar, because that could easily pop up. This year in the NBA, there was a innovation, if you will, a debut, a marketing innovation

on the jerseys. This year, for the first time, again, in any of the four major North American pro sports leagues, there are ads or logos, at least, on the jerseys. On the player's jerseys, there are corporate logos. And I'm not just talking about, you know, the Nike logo, because they've been. make the jersey. I'm talking about international style. If you watch like English Premier League, we'll have a giant airline logo. Emeritus. Exactly. Emerits is a very famous one. The NBA, they started floating this idea a few years ago, I think just to kind of gauge people's reaction.

And what's a little bit of a different wrinkle on it is that the teams themselves are allowed to negotiate these sponsorships, which, you know, which makes sense. It's not the league. Not the league, exactly, which is a little bit of an interesting twist on it. So the league said, yes, we will allow this. There are limitations. It's like a two and a half by two and a half inch bounding area. It's in the same spot on the Jersey. But within those limitations, the team can go out and get their own deals.

Like a lot of sports stuff, most of these sponsors are hometown sponsors, right? It makes sense. It's like it's your local team. You get it in front of the people there. Over half of the teams in the NBA have decided to go ahead and do this and sign big deals, a lot of money for the team. So I put together a quiz for you guys. I'm going to tell you

who the corporate sponsor is. And I want you guys to tell me all I'm really looking for is the city here. So this is, pretend it's a non-sports quiz, like we've had these at pub quiz, it's match the corporation to their headquarters hometown.

All of these companies, well, virtually all of them are household names. We'll start off with an easy one here. So I'm going to read you the question. You write down city and a team name. Disney is the uniform. logo sponsor for this sunny city and their team

NBA? NBA? Oh, sorry. That's all right. That's all right. Let's take a minute here. Let's just, yeah, these are NBA, basketball, ball goes in the hoop. That's the one. Disney, who would Disney sponsor? All right, answers up. Dana says Orlando Magic. Chris says Orlando Magic. Oh, I see where you're going. Karen says Los Angeles Lakers.

It is, in fact, the Orlando Magic. Yeah, that makes more sense. But I was like, oh, Los Angeles Angels. And I was like, wait, that's the wrong sport. Calling the team of the magic was, in part, a deliberate nod to Magic Kingdom. Yeah. They almost called it the heat. There were actually four names.

They narrowed it down. It was the heat, the magic, the tropics, or the juice? The juice. And then, of course, they ended up using heat for Miami. That's right, for the other Florida team. The Harley Davidson motorcycle company logo adorns the jerseys of this Midwestern city's team. Harley Davidson, where are they based? Where is Harley Davidson?

The city gets a little cold in the winters. They have a proud, uh, okay, no hints. What? It doesn't matter if the teams are like high performing or not, you know, where it's mostly local. It really doesn't. There's one basketball team, you know, in town. In terms of, you know, major corporation marketing dollars, it's actually rather affordable for the contracts that they're signing. Okay.

All right, answers up. Let's pick some guess here. All right. Karen says Chicago Bulls. Good guess. It's not correct. Oh. Chris says the Aspen Extreme.

I like it. I like it. That's a good wrong answer. Dana said the Cleveland Cavaliers. A good answer, not correct. No, it is Milwaukee is the proud home of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle company. The Milwaukee, the Bucks. All right.

The Goodyear Tire Corporation. I have no idea where they are. Their iconic wing foot logo can be found on the NBA jerseys of this team or city, depending on how you want to answer. Goodyear, the Good Year rubber and tire company. Tires are very strongly associated with this city and this region. If you know anything about rubber or the tire industries. I don't know.

Teams name may have come up already. Good Year tires. All right, answers up. They are headquartered in and they sponsor. Dana Smartly has written, again, Cleveland Cavaliers, correct? Yes. Chris has written the Detroit Devils. And Karen has it gone again with Chicago Bulls.

I like the doubling of the answers. Oh, you said it was wrong. No, it is the calves. General Electric is the uniform sponsor for this Eastern City's team, where they only just recently moved their headquarters. Eastern City, General Electric. I would venture to say well-known even by non-basketball people. All right, answers up.

Chris says the Philadelphia basketballers. well-known. They're a good team. They're good. They're going to surprise a lot of people this year. Karen Dana have both written New York. Knicks, up until a few years ago, that would be the right city at least. They have moved their headquarters to Boston. They sponsor the Boston Celtics now. Yeah, although they still maintain major offices in New York. Right. It's from 30 Rock. Yes. Yep. Yep. Just in the last couple years have they moved to Boston. Close it out here with a couple food-related ones. Zataran's Foods is no doubt proud to see their logo on the jerseys of this team in a city renowned for its great food. Zatarans Foods. What city,

what city's team do they sponsor? And if you'd like to take a guess at the name of the team that plays there. Or if you'd like to make something up. Okay, answers up. Karen has both parts correct is the she wrote Nola which cool people call New Orleans. The New Orleans Pelicans, yes. Chris has written New Orleans, the New Orleans Popeyes, which I like the

food theme there. Yeah, bring it in. And Dana, oh, that's the best answer. The New Orleans funeral parades. That's good. Yeah, so Zataran's foods, I mean, it is very well known in New Orleans. Sir ad is Zatran.

Yeah. They are a legitimate New Orleans company. Yeah, no, they were founded New Orleans in 1886 by Emil Zadaran. The family no longer earns the business. It's owned by McCormick, the Spice Company. So it's, you know, it's in good hands. Yeah.

All right. Last one. Last one. Closing it out here. Blue Diamond Almond. Blue Diamond Almond's entered a jersey sponsorship agreement with this Western team. what do you know about almonds what do you guys i mean what do you know about almonds blue diamond california okay oh i know okay uh answers up both dana and karen have

correctly written the sacramento kings yes yes blue diamond growers uh they are founded and based out in sacramento agriculture agriculture the california heartland there chris what was your answer oh uh the la l lakers yeah lakers yeah Yeah, yeah. Not all teams got a sponsor, right? It's up to the team if they want to chase a sponsorship. Virtually, if you're in a major market team, you went out and got that money. So the Warriors being the reigning NBA champions and being in a huge media market area,

they had the biggest contract. So they signed a $20 million a year contract with an international company. They're one of the teams that did not, maybe surprisingly, you'd think, oh, my God, there's so much. But you know what? There's so much money in the Bay Area. Like, does Apple or Google or Facebook need to sponsor a team? You know, probably not. Yeah.

It is Rakuten, actually, the Japanese e-commerce company. There are some out-of-city sponsors, like Fitbit sponsors, the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Knicks are sponsored by Squarespace, of all things. Oh, well, they're in New York. Our web host, yeah. Stubhub sponsors the Philadelphia 76ers. Oh, weird, okay, because they're based here. Yeah, yeah.

Exactly. I think it's just who's available and on TV a lot. And the right price. So with the final tallies, I'm scoring in, again, whose line is Zenoa style. I'm going to give a thousand points to everybody. You guys all win. Yeah. Dana has best fake answer, though, with the New Orleans funeral parades.

That's very good. Yeah. That would be a good team. That would be a good team. I would go see them. The New Orleans funeral parades. They'd open up the audience to like more emo people. Oh, the funies.

You go to the funies game? The funies. Yeah. That's so good. All right. My turn, you guys. And I was originally going to do another round of international covers where I play a cover, a famous song that's sung in English and then it's being covered by another artist in a different language. I've exhausted a lot of the good ones in my last two quiz.

I am amazed at the ones that you find. They're good. Yeah, I have to say. So here's a little twist. I'm doing it the other way. I have found English-speaking pop stars and singers singing in a different language. All right. So your challenge is to identify who is singing and what language are they singing?

This is very rare. So when I first took a trip to France and Spain when I was in high school and I bought, I was just getting into Fleetwood Mac at that point and bought some Fleetwood Mac cities and brought them home. And I'm like, oh, mom, I, you know, when we were in Spain in this music store, like, you got some, some Fleetwood Mac CDs. My mom's like, they're singing in Spanish? I was like, no. I was like, how would that? She really thought it would be literally translated them for the market.

All singing in languages that they do not actually speak. I was like, that's not what they do. And sometimes that does happen. That actually, but it's very rare. Yeah. Back in the day, I'm saying like Motown. Motown era, they would record the songs in, well, English being the big hit, and then like a localized, like a German version or Italian version.

The Beatles, right? Yeah. Yeah. In German. And of course, you know, they get a lot of heat for, you know, their pronunciation or whatever. They realize that like the fans in other places want to see them perform in English and they all sing to the English songs anyway. So this kind of localized market is more of days of yours.

Yeah, not necessary anymore. All right. Let's start easy and we'll go hard. Here we go. Who is singing and what language is this being sung in? All right. All right. All right.

Colin, you said, Aba, German. Dana, Abba, German. And then Chris says, Aba, Swedish. It is German. Okay. It's actually German. They actually recorded Waterloo in a lot of languages. Really?

And they were, Abba, you know, to their credit, actually performed all of them pretty well. Here we go. The next one. Name the artist. Name the language. You probably know the song. Wow, Wow, I had no idea, I had no idea.

Okay, language is actually really hard to, like I, the pronunciation is kind of weird. It was weird. All right, Colin, you said Diana Ross in French French The Supremes in Spanish Diana Ross

in Spanish It is the Supremes in Italian It's a bit like Chinese We all circled around The Romance language Tutti

All right Here we go More recent hit But this must be love All right I put myly sireis in Japanese I put Gwynstaffani in Japanese I put a bunch of question marks in Japanese

Well, it is in Japanese That was Charlie Xxia. That's right I was like, who is that? Charlie X, X, X, X. She had a lot of kids. She had a lot of kids. X, X, X, C, X.

How do you spell that? The letter X. The letter C, the letter X. You're a great straight man. Yeah, you're too good of a straight man. We thought you were doing a bit. No, no, no, no. Oh, I got dead jokes.

He got me. Yeah, no, I thought he was doing a bit. Yeah. Okay. So, here we go. Now we're moving into singers, not singing their own songs. Okay. Okay.

Ramping it up. And, uh, Hopefully you can tell by their voice. Here we go. I'll read the mele of mele di Moly Hwa Funfine me a mon churiyan

You shiam Yom by Rungonguehung Hopefully the end with, you know, the runs. You can imagine her kicking her leg. Runs. All right, answers up. I've got Chinese, and I've got the greatest singer in the world, Celine Dion.

Selim Dion Chinese. Oh, I put Mariah Carey in Chinese. It is Celine Dion singing Mandarin Chinese at the New Year's Eve celebration in China. I bet that was so popular. A spectacle. A lot of super nice dancers, ribbons. I believe it. And she is singing a very, very traditional old timey Chinese, kind of not really a lullaby, like a standard.

Yeah, she is a professional. You know, like opera singers have to sing in all sorts of languages all the time. That's true. Yeah. All right. And one more bonus. This is not a singer, but this person does sing. Okay.

You can name this celebrity. Not a singer, but they do sing Mostly known for acting Bruce Willis Singing in Chinese Also Mandarin Chinese Fun Here we go

Okay, all right Okay, all right Oh, I'm a good one guy, I started to write David Hasselhoff, but then I'm like, oh, that's I'm like, oh, that's someone who can actually sing. Well, I mean, oh, that's true. he has released albums before. I have a guess. No, sorry, I have a guess.

I have a guess. Chris is going to go first. I said Hugh Jackman. That's what I said. That's what I put too. Yes, it is. Mr. Wolverine himself. He's the good singer.

It's funny because he's seeing in Chinese and I can hear the accent, but I also hear like an Australian accent oddly enough too. It's very strange. But good job, you guys. I am continually impressed when you put these together. It's hard to find them. I believe it. No, that's good. That's good. All right, let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back.

So I'm going to try a multiple choice quiz with you guys because I got super into HQ trivia for a little bit. The answers are interesting or funny. They write really good, bad answers. Yeah.

Wrong answers. They're great at writing questions. They're really, really good questions. You ready? Question number one. What's Kim Kardashian-West's emoji set called? Are they Kardashis, Kimmikons, or Kamojis? Ooh.

Which of these is a true statement about the Venus de Milo? A, she has no arms. B, she's standing on a seashell or C, she's wearing a C-shell bra. The Venus de Milo is she on? She doesn't have arms. She's on a C-shell or she has. She has a seashell bra. Nice.

It's funny because bra in French is arm. Oh. So she has a seashell arm. So it's quite, D. Stop. Yep, everybody said, A, no arms. No arms is correct. That's the statue at the Louvre.

Yes. And if you were thought, oh, she's standing on the seashell, you might be thinking about a chelis. Birth of Venus. Versa Venus. If you thought it was a C-shell bra, you're thinking of Airy.

That is correct. All right. Number four. Which of these Sesame Street characters was played by a real bird? Is it A, Linda, B, Bernice, or C. Dorothy? What?

Which of these was a bird, a real bird on Sesame Street? Not a Muppet. Not a person in a bird outfit. An actual bird. Linda, Bernice, or Dorothy? All right. People with little kids, maybe know.

I have a child. Do you know for sure? I think I believe I do, yes. All right. What did you say? I said Bernice just because I was going for the alliteration. Me too. Also said Bernice.

It is Bernice. Bernice the bird. Well, that was process of elimination for me because I know Linda is a human and Dorothy is the goldfish. Yes. Dorothy is almost goldfish. Oh, right. Like she's played by actual fish. But Bernice is Bert's pigeon

The Catherine wheel, the Iron Maiden, or the guillotine? I don't even know what a Catherine wheel is.

it's a guillotine oh the guy who invented the guillotine was like dr gilthan like he didn't want it named after him no the family was horrified right there were a lot of names for the guillotine

Okay. June 1st, July 1st, or August 1st. So now we're in the HQ trivia territory where you have to know a couple pieces of information and synthesize them. Collins says July, Karen says June. Chris says July.

It's July. Because the solstice is at June 21st or the days get longer leading up to it and then they get shorter on the other side, but it's symmetrical. So July 1st is closer to June 21st than June 1st

would be. Yeah. Which Mario character would be of the most interest to a mycologist? Is it Luigi, Yoshi, or Toad? Everybody said, C, Toad, that's correct. A mycologist studies mushrooms. Toad is a mushroom person. Luigi's... I'm sure that mycologists would be very interesting.

How does your brain function? I took your hat off. Yeah. Well, I have the right people at the table. Didn't I just read that didn't they settle in canon recently once and for all that his head is a mushroom? It's not a mushroom hat. Right. Okay.

But like that they wear hats. Okay. Yeah. So if he took off his hat, I'm imagining he has like a mushroom print hat takes it off and it's a mushroom underneath. Oh, yeah. That's like a shower cap. Yeah, exactly. Wait, what do you mean that was finally settled?

Like, people were really confused. Somebody from Nintendo finally said. No, no, no, that's his head. He can't take that off. I didn't include Princess Peach, because she's the princess of the mushroom kingdom. Right. It wasn't 100% that she's not a mushroom. She might be a part mushroom.

I think she is actually, because her dad kind of looks like a mushroom, right? Yeah. Is that right? Well, her dad is, let's really get into it. She's mushroom on her father's side. Her dad is that like, you know, there's no real canon definition of whatever. Yeah, it's a whole thing. That's interesting.

The John Liguizamo movie, the dad was like an actual like fungus growth. Right. Right. Right. That is as far from Mario. Yeah. Yes.

It's a canon. Yeah. Yeah. Last question. In the NATO alphabet, which letter is associated with an American dance? Oh. A dance that originated in America. Is it W.T or F?

Everybody said F for fox trot. Tea is a dance. It's a tango, but it's Argentinian. And W is whiskey, which not an official dance. That's good. I like the distractor with the tango in that. That's good. Good job, you guys. All right. That's good. I, too, have prepared a music quiz for this wonderful all-quiz episode. There is a theme to these songs. You have to guess the theme after the first one, because once you hear the second one, the theme will be so obvious that it doesn't even

really qualify as a question anymore. What, really? Okay. So you have one shot. Oh, man. All right. To guess the theme. Your one shot. I like it. You've got to get it in one or you don't get it at all. I like it. Okay. All right. So here,

assuming it's going to play. There's no pattern established at all. Nope. Nope. No. You get it in one or you get it in none. That's it. Okay. Okay. Here is. Clip number one. Kill me the artist and tell me the theme of this round. Don't need a reason why

Everything's all right I'm sure you At this point At this point I'm going to Why does that sound familiar? Who knows? Gee, I don't know, Karen.

Why does it sound so familiar? You, at this point I'm going to give you another five seconds or so to lock in those answers. I'm looking for the name of the artist singing that song and also the theme of this music round. This is your one shot to get the theme.

Everybody has now had time to lock in your answers. Let's see what we got. Karen says, Brittany, as in Britney Spears, and you've written down commercial for the theme. Colin, what is you write? I wrote Britney and commercial celebrity endorsements. Uh-huh. And, yes, and Dana wrote down Britney Spears commercial songs.

Yes, yes, indeed. I can even tell you what that song is. Well, actually, you know, this. This is going to be even more specific than simply commercial songs. So if anybody wants to try the more specific theme, more specific than simply commercials. Extra point, if you can absolutely nail it, even more specific than simply add jingles or add songs. Karen says soft drinks. Colin says Pepsi Cola.

Dana says Coke jingles. so yes these are four soft drinks soft beer singing a song and then including the ba-ba-ba-ba-pap-a-pa-p Pepsi The Joy of Cola Yes yes indeed so these are all TV commercials For most of its Pepsi or Coke

Most of its Pepsi or Coke diet Pepsi Diet Coke They may all be Pepsi and Coke actually Only because like only because like those are just such big brands But this is all One Fanta ad snuck in there this is, well, there was Britney, but a lot of this is like just during that 1980s, rock and roll, uh, cola wars. We didn't start the fire.

Okay. Here is question number two. There is going to be a chance for a bonus point because you can tell me, A, the musical talent that is singing this, this song, the performing artists. And also B, uh, the name of the then child actor who danced along with said musical talent. in the commercial. Okay. Like this child became an actor or is a child actor? No, he was at that point he was a child actor.

He's an adult now. But at the time he was definitely a child actor, dancer a dancer well known as a dancer at that point and danced alongside oh right oh yeah who was this oh who is it who is it no i mean i oh god no this was a big deal who was this it was yep known for dancing at the time now known for acting but was on dancing with the stars yeah so oh man yeah more recently all right so anyway um um about michael jackson and Corey Feldman. I originally wrote, I originally wrote Emmanuel Lewis.

He was 80s, the sexy generation, and the child actors at the time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So everybody has gotten it right with Michael Jackson. Who is the kid? Who is it? Who was joined by a young dancer starting to make his name at that time. It was in this commercial with him. Alfonso Ribeiro, Jr.

Yes. Carlton. Kivis Carlton. Yes. was in this. Yeah. It's so funny that he's known for being a bad dancer. Yeah.

But doing the crawly. That's true. That's true. That's very true, Karen. It's very true. All right. We're going to, you know, change it up again a little bit. I'm going to play you this next one.

This has two individual musical artists in it, but known for their solo careers, but performing a duet here in this, in this commercial. Tell me who the two singers is a male singer is a female singer. Okay. And you got one point for each. To be the way It puts a smile on your face

Not the other way Went to the picture It's not for the way it won't show on you Just one reason Just one reason To be If this is not the only time

They have ever performed together It should be. It's, I think it is It should be the last It should never do it again But like just Yeah, it's really It's really something.

consider how distinct moves are. They just don't. They're like, we need to merge this demographic with this demographic. Yeah, that was, you are precisely right. So, Karen says Paula Abdul and Tom Jones.

And Elton John and Paula Abdul is what Colin and Dana both say, yes, Colin and Dana, you get two points easy. Elton John, Sir Elton John, and Dame Paula Abdul. So, this next this next you know

Coca-Cola commercial it is a group it is a performance group you give me the name of the group that is singing this song it is not an individual it is a group

okay okay here we go I like to teach the world to sing with me perfect harmony I like to buy the world the folk and keep it company

that's the real I like to Okay. So I'm going to tell you guys this. This group was formed explicitly to sing this song in this commercial. So this is a you know it or you don't, but you can see. This is a trivia question. Yeah. This is very much a do you know this piece of obscure knowledge. So Karen says the world choir, Colin says. I just put up with people to have an answer. But I know that's not it. Yeah. I know that's not it. And what did you put? The band? Oh, the band. There's like a... There's so that, no. There is a band called The Band.

Yeah. So this song, so this song, by the way, it started as this Coke commercial, like the most famous commercial ever, right? Of a group of teens, young people standing on a hill singing this song about Coke. It became such a hit that they actually turned it into a non-coke-related song. Yeah. And then, and, and, but this original one, it was performing. the group that they formed was called the hillside singers

yes I know it was like the something singers it's what they are it's yeah they are they are people standing on the hill literally standing on a hill singing this song that's what it is the hillside singers okay just two more for you guys um here is another one please name the recording

artist I didn't know there's some, I didn't even know there were Diet Coke songs. Oh, yeah, just for the taste of it. Yeah. Aerobics commercial. And then you had to fit their format. It was always the just for the, yeah. Everybody says Whitney, the Whitney Houston, everybody is correct.

Okay, this is it. It's the last one. Here we go. This could really change, well, at this point, basically, Colin, you've got eight, Dana, you've got eight and Karen, you have got seven. All right. All right. so somebody could pull ahead Karen could tie it up

I don't know I don't know what's going to happen for this one you're going to tell me the name of the group is a performing group again and then tell me the specific Coca-Cola product

that they are selling group and product group and product so a potential two points oh okay okay here we go yeah no is it come on check it out now

it's got a new taste it's a definite wow A great event It's hip It's here I'll play it again for you guys I'll play it again for you guys Locked it in

Yeah, Dana's got a lock down It's a group Yes I'm going to say group I'm going to play it again Yeah Go is it Come check it out now

It's got a new taste It's a definite Wow A great event It's hip It's here A big smack Okay I get it

Colin gets it. Or Colin thinks he got it. Colin's been embarrassed before. Colin thinks that he does. Colin thinks that he understands something about this. Yeah. Yeah. So.

I see what you're getting at. I don't know. What is Dana have to say? You know what? I could tell you, or I could just let the group tell you themselves. Hi, we're new addition. And we're here to introduce the great new taste of Coca-Cola to taste of today.

Oh. So yes, indeed. The product was new cope. New Coke, the reformulated Coca-Cola of the mid-80s, it was a huge failure. Everybody hated. And the product was, or the band, rather, was New Edition. New Edition, that early 80s group, which included Bobby Brown and Belle, Biv, and DeVoe. Yeah.

Yes. I don't remember that one. New Coke. So, yeah, Colin put it together. Dana put it together. And that means that Colin and Dana are actually both tied with 10 points each. So congratulations. And Whitney in one quiz.

Yeah. That's right. Yes. So good job overall, everybody. Fun, fun round. That's good. Yeah. I had forgotten that Michael Jackson actually rewrote the lyrics to his own song.

Yeah. That to Billy Jean. Like, that's like the second level of endorsement is we're not just writing you a check to sing as we're taking your. You know, what's funny. Yeah. So there's a lot of different, like, co-courism. commercials that I went through, and it's like, there's clearly tears. There's like, rewrite your own song and make Billy Jean into a Pepsi song. I mean, that's got to be a bunch of money. Then the

tier down is like, sing our dumb jingle about Diet Coke. And then a tier down from that is, you're not singing about the product at all. Like, there's a George Michael, I think, commercial that's either Coke or Pepsi, and there's another Whitney Houston one where they're in the commercials and they're just singing their own song while Coke or Pepsi related activities. book club on Monday Jim on Tuesday Date night on Wednesday Out on the town on Thursday

I exams provided by independent optometrists. All right, I got a quiz for you.

I have an international pie quiz. Oh. Some questions about pies from around the world. Whoa. Interesting facts. Use your buzzers. We're going to buzz in our answers. Here we go.

Invented in the Philippines and inspired by American apple pie, the Bucco pie swaps what ingredient instead of apples because they're not native to the Philippines. Oh, I'm finally. It's a writing. We've been writing so much, yeah. Colin. Pineapple?

Incorrect. Purple yams? Incorrect. Jackfruit? Incorrect. It is young coconut. Oh, okay. Young coconut with the flesh.

It sounds and looks delicious. Have you tried it? Those are all very good. No, but you can buy them, you know, at many Philippines. Filipino or Asian supermarkets or grocery stores. Fun fact. So the inventor, the creator of this pie, she used to work as a maid in America and then decided to go back home to Philippines and want to open her bake shop.

And she learned at her time in America to make apple pies. And she's like, well, apples aren't native to where we are. So her sister suggested using the flesh of a young coconut that kind of has a similar practices to see. That's really cool. Yeah, and Bucco pie. Bucco pie. I have not heard of that.

How do you spell that? B-U-K-O. All right. All right. Maine's official state dessert is blueberry pie. They're famous for their wild blueberries. But what kind of pie is Maine's official state treat? What kind of pie?

They have a treat that is not blueberry pie. Colin. Cream pie? It is Whoopi pie Not really a pie A state treat Whoopi pie

And that's marshmallow fluff Or what is it? That is The most basic and generic description Is two Pieces of Chocolate cakes Sandwiched with a

White frosting So it could be a cream frosting It could be marshmallow fluff Okay I'm at soul food places a lot Yeah This is hard Flipper pie from Eastern Canada, like in Nova Scotia and New Finland, New Finland, is literally made of flippers of what animal?

Chris. Seals? It is seals, the harp seals. What? Really? Yes, yes. I mean, a lot of cultures up there. Yeah, it's sealing.

That used to be a byproduct or, you know, they are the flippers and they would eat it. Yeah, I guess you're right, the seal skins, yeah. I read somewhere that they actually have, like, fake versions of it. of it in the grocery store, like the frozen mock turtle, mock flipper pie. Fo per. Mok seal. Well, like, you know, mock shark fin soup and things like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, that's true. It's true. The tart tatan is a French equivalent of an apple pie. But unlike most tarts and pies, it is baked in what unusual way? Huh. Colin. By the sun. No.

Chris. Upside down. Upside down. You cook the apples first, then you put the pastry, and then you flip it over when it's done. Oh, okay, right. It's part of the upside down take family. Yes, the upside down foods. Yes, it's a rich taxonomy.

Derby pie is a chocolate and nut pie commonly made with what other ingredient that's referenced in its name. Derby pie. Dana. Horses. You're so shocked At the seal Incorrect Horses

Oh god It could be anything If we've gone to seal flippers Yeah, really Chris Hats It's like you make it in a hat Yeah, it's a surrealist pie

Not horses, not hats not hats The answer is The ingredient is Kentucky bourbon Oh Okay Okay

Fun Wow not fun It's more like Like whoa These people are pretty aggressive fact So the derby pie We don't really know the exact

recipe because it's made secret But either they're kind of copycats Or not copycuts But like references to it Derby pie was created in a restaurant in Kentucky in the 1950s And that family

Not only trademark the pie's name and recipe but has been aggressively going after cookbooks and whatnot trying to defend the trademark you know from the 1950s well into now they'll go after internet sites and you know any any people who like a derby pie yeah yeah so don't call it a derby pie yeah so yeah other people try to get around it yeah yeah like kentucky pie with chocolate and nuts But, Pegasus Pie, because that's their derby animal. It makes a fly. Last question.

Originated from Dutch settlers, the milk tart. I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right, but it sounds like milk tart. Sure. Is a pie crust filled with creamy milk custard with a bit of cinnamon and became a traditional and national favorite of what country. Originated from Dutch settlers. Dutch settlers. They settled a lot of places. They sure did.

Sure did. It came. Oh, Dana. Indonesia? No. South Africa. South Africa. Traditional dessert now in South Africa.

The milk tart. That sounds good. It actually looks, looks good. She got real serious there. I want to end my quiz with this. There is a pie I found from Cornwall in the UK. It is a pie full of fish, potatoes, and eggs, and a pastry. but they have to have the whole fish head multiple fish heads poking out of the pie looking up oh i've seen that i've seen that on the internet it looks it looks like something somebody just came up with as like a joke for a far side cartoon these beautiful pies with just fish heads poking out looking at the sky it's called the stargazy pie

because the fish are looking up oh the stars well you know it's like the saying goes uh keep your feet be planted in the pie, keep reaching for the stars. And we're back into present day. We all sounded so young and hopeful. A different type of energy I hear in my voice. Pre-COVID, pre-baby. Colin, I'm going to put you on the spot here. Oh, sure, sure.

Yes. Yeah, yeah. Well, so this may be broadly and I'm actually, but these questions were true at the time that I asked them. So I have some updates, let's say, not corrections as much as updates to my quiz on the NBA hometown logo sponsors. This was a new feature then going way back in 2018 of NBA team's basketball, professional basketball here, wearing corporate logo sponsors on their jerseys. And the quiz was, of course, if you could match the hometown sponsor. of a variety of NBA teams. Out of the six, four are no longer accurate answers. So let's update you here. Two of them are the same. The Orlando Magic still proudly sponsored by Disney. Walt Disney World, of course, right there in Orlando,

Disney logo on their jerseys. The Cleveland Cavaliers still continually since then have been sponsored by Goodyear. The ones that have changed, the Sacramento Kings no longer sponsored on their jersey by Blue Diamond Alamins. now sponsored by Dialpad, which is a corporate kind of business digital communications messaging. They are, they're at least California based. They're based in San Ramon, but the New Orleans

Pelicans, sadly, no longer sponsored by Zatarans. Oh, that was so perfect. That was really my favorite one. It just seems like just such a natural fit. The New Orleans Pelicans, their current Jersey logo sponsor is Ibata. You guys know that site? I-B-O-T-A. No. It's like deal. or cashback? The Boston Celtics no longer sponsored by GE, General Electric. They are currently sponsored by Vista Print, a service in the past. Yeah, you know, the Print on Demand Service. And then the Milwaukee Bucks, no longer sponsored by hometown Harley-Davidson, motorcycles,

sponsored by the Motorola Corporation, which has, you know, one of the all-time great, great logos, of course, that Batwing M. M, the Motorola M. So here's what's funny to me anyway. Motorola not only sponsors the Milwaukee Bucks, they also sponsor the Indiana Pacers. So they've got their logo on two teams. And prior to this season,

they also sponsored the Brooklyn Nets. Like somebody in the Motorola marketing department is like, we're just getting great return on this investment. We're going for basically 10% of the teams in the league here. And they are based in Chicago. so neither Milwaukee nor Indianapolis is their hometown. So yeah, kind of the underpinning

of that quiz has really fallen apart in the four years since we recorded it. Yeah, yeah. Well, my quiz is rock solid. Nothing changed about vintage soda commercials. The Elton John Paula Abdul thing is still just like... Yeah, and then mine, HQ trivia. Wow.

Oh, yeah. We outlasted H.Q. We were there before. No, we lasted longer. Now it's wordal. Yeah. And what's next? In five years we'll be like, wordal.

You remember that? Everybody was to wake up in the morning and do the wordle. Oh, my God. What did we do it? And then for my quiz, now listening back for the pie quiz, like, man, that was really, really hard. And I think because maybe I wasn't, I didn't write the questions well enough. I just had, like, my pie blinders on. I was like, I know so much about pies, but, like, regular people are not that, yeah, that pie fluent.

You're so deep in the pie. We don't actually know what other people know about pies. It's possible. There's, like, thousands of people in their car like, oh, my God, the pie quiz. I've been waiting my whole life for the pie quiz. It was perfect. You're really doing a lot for the pie community, Karen. Yeah.

Yes, always, always a supporter. always an ally, Timpies. I think, I would have to say that I think where we really had egg on our faces that episode was when we predicted that there would never be a massive global pandemic. Yeah, I mean, in retrospect, big oaf there.

Wait, did we say that? No, no. Oh, no. Can I tell you so many of the questions I got on the quiz, I was like, I knew that, what? Like, I don't, I don't. We're there, oh, there was Casey Rosserad Doris Day. Like, I re-listened to it. I'm like,

Doris Day. Say it myself. Doris Day. I didn't know it. So, I mean, it must have stuck with me. Yeah. I cannot believe I do Hurricane Andrew from 1992, the most cost. I'm like, what? Where did that come from? Like, I wouldn't bet even a penny of my own money today that I would know that. Yeah. All right. Well, thank you everybody here and everybody listening for this lovely time travel from the vault. special episode. It is our season finale, so we'll be back later this year for another season.
