You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, hello, hello, heliocentric, helms people in helmets, hellbent on helping hellcats and hellhounds. This is Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. Today's show is episode 235, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your fearless for some finally finagling factoids for fall. I am Colin. I'm Dana. And I'm Chris.

Welcome to a new season, everybody. It's fall, and we, the world, have experienced quite the summer. It was indeed the summer of the summer of. finding rare colored lobsters. Last season, I had a segment about how the restaurant chain Red Lobster kept on finding rare blue colored lobsters in their live lobster shipments. Blue lobsters happened one in two million. A lot of you listeners actually went to visit the now trivia famous Red Lobster in

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where they found the blue lobster. Some of you actually went to go visit the blue lobster at the Akron Zoo. Well, guess what? This past summer, we saw two separate red lobsters find something even more rare. Oh, jeez. The orange lobster. Two bright orange lobsters, you know, live lobsters, they're like brown. They're like muddy color.

Yeah, right, right. That's incredible. This year, orange lobster summer. It's one in 30 million. So blue is one in two million. This is one in 30 million. Do you guys know what senescence is? Senescence.

I've heard that word before. Lobsters do not show typical signs of senescence, which is biological aging. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. For humans, we know we stop growing when we reach adulthood. Then we kind of just deteriorate. Yeah, it's all downhill. So unlike people as they age, lobsters, they don't weaken.

They continue to grow. They can regenerate limbs. Are they immortal? Not at red lobster or not. They did find a way to kind of approximate age. They measure, you know, like the eye stalks of the lobster. Yeah, sure. There's like fat deposit.

They think the older a lobster it is, the more fat depositor behind the eyes. Yeah. Oh, same. Same. Yeah. Lobster piebags. So you can be eating, so you could be eating lobster and you can be eating like something that's like older than you. Yes.

Yeah. You can be eating something that's older than your grandfather. The age of the earth. And you can be dipping it, dipping it in delicious melted butter. And you can just feel its wisdom coming into your body when you eat it. Wow. What's the oldest lobster? I know.

Some they found that are like 70 years old. Wow. This is a wild. That's wild. In non-lobster world, we have other news. I'm going to kick it to you, Dana. Yes, so my news is that this is my last Good Job Brain episode. It's not.

I know, I know. This is not a surprise. We've talked about this before. We didn't really just find out just now. Yeah. I decided it was time to kind of branch out into new things. You know, we stopped doing our pub trivia, and trivia just started sinking out of my list of hobbies. And I filled it up with other hobbies, including woodworking and learning Korean

and learning how to fold socks into interesting geometric shapes. Yeah, oh man, I'm into it now. I like doing laundry because I like clothes origami. I got really into acquiring skills and I stopped working on acquiring random bits of knowledge. And so even though I'll miss you guys a lot and I've really loved working on the show, missed the fans, all this, our weekly check-ins of weird information, just felt like it was time to stop. Yeah. It's like a band, you know, like you're sometimes, yeah. But, you know, you're always welcome in the family.

It's, yeah, it's just, it's just you got to go your own direction right now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I still love you guys very much. And I'll listen to the show. It will be really interesting to listen to the show, not working on the show anymore. Yeah, I bet. I'll enjoy it more. I'll be less like, you idiot, you said the wrong way I am right now, about hearing myself. For the final time with Dana, let's jump into our general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot.

Get out your barnyard buzzers. And here I have a random trivial pursuit card from the box, and let's answer some questions. All right. All right. Here we go, Blue Wedge for geography. The word vodka is derived from the Russian word Voda, or Vada, Voda, which means what? Ooh, that was a rooster. Chris. Water.

Correct. It is water. Pink Wedge. To add a sense of awe-inspiring scale, Ridley Scott's two sons, Luke and Jake, were used in an atmospheric scene in which breakout 1979 hit Colin 100% got to be alien

correct I have no idea what this question so what were his two sons doing I'm gonna guess guess it's got to be some scene with like the xenomorph with the alien in there maybe or like maybe they he cast them be like adults or I don't know I'm just oh they're kids

because they're small and the set is big yes and the set is This big alien, big and scary. Okay, Yellow Wedge, who spearheaded a lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric that resulted in a 33 million settlement for residents of Hinkley, California. Colin? Was that the real-life Aaron Brockovich? Yes, it is. Aaron Brockovich.

I'm like, how are we supposed to know that? Because it was a movie starring Julia Roberts. All right, next question, Purple Wedge. Which character in the Melville novel movie Dick is the basis for the name of a successful coffee franchise? Oh. Chris. Starbucks. Starbuck.

Is this Starbucks coffee or Starbucks coffee? But it's not like Starbuck apostrophe, yes. It's multiple Starbucks. Oh, multiple, okay. Do you know what's, sorry, a bit of an aside. I was, for some reason, I was reading the Wikipedia entry for ding-dongs, you know, the snack cake, ding-dongs. Yes. Yeah, that was the one you were reading?

Okay. Okay. So, in, in Canada, they're not called ding-dongs. They're called king dons. Whoa. It's like, someone's like, you know, we can't name them ding-dongs because it sounds we have to name them something a little less suggesting so everyone okay with king dons then right right right they got just got a whiteboard

and it's like big johnson big circle around king dons all right anyways wow all right i that i i did not know that i love i do i do love i really honestly 100 percent i love regional variants and snack food names it does it always tickles me for for exactly this it's like because you know it's like somebody was like that's not going to fly in this country yeah we're not that we're not that far from canada i'm shocked we're learning it today uh king don't okay moving on uh green wedge which holiday plant from the viscassi from the viscassi family grows in trees by attaching itself to branches Dana

Last question an orange wedge what is the highest ranking in the boy scouts oh uh Dana eagle scout eagle fly like eagle yeah you have you known eagle scouts yes it comes up they bring it up in conversation yeah exactly it's like yeah how do you know if you know an eagle scout oh they'll tell you and we mean that in a nice way I bet there are a lot of you guys absolutely yeah yes yes Yes, yeah. Well, now we have to carefully wrap up Dana's buzzer and place it in the Good Job Brain Hall of Fame display case until it maybe needed to be retrieved. We can build a little, like, cute cow pen, right? Because her buzzer is the cow, like a little barn. Sure. Yeah, the farmyard. All the farmyard buzzers one by one go in the farm.

This is the second gen. These are like the kids. We had our original four buzzers. Some of the, them started sounding real bad towards the end. Yeah. They're showing senescence. So today's episode is episode 2.35. And every fifth episode on Good Job Brain, we usually don't have a topic or a theme. Instead, all of us have written a quiz on random topics so that we can surprise each other, stump each other, and also stump you guys' listeners.

So today is our all quiz number 47. Okay, well, in honor of this being Dana's last episode, I have put together a quiz called It's Kind of Sweet. Now, as we all, we all, maybe, you know, if you're a big, good job Brain fan, and you follow Dana on Twitter, that's her Twitter handle, it's kind of sweet. And also, that's the name of Dana, your, your honor. ongoing projects, right? It's still done or the kind of sweet studios banner, right?

People can find you if they want on Instagram. Yeah. Been thinking about Dana and things that she's done for us on the show, things that she's done to us on this show and making us potentially some weird candies that she found to say quiz about some weird candies and weird candy facts and candy things. Maybe it's kind of sweet but kind of not as sweet. And so let's let's have a blast with some candy trivia.

Okay. This is a, I'm going to make this a, this is going to be a write down quid. He says as he gets out his notebook, I don't need to write down anything. Oh, I guess they need to write down the scores. Okay. Yes. Okay. Here we go.

Question number one. In 2017, Hershey released a barbecue flavor version of what peanut and caramel candy bar. Peanut and caramel. Oh. Ew. Barbecue flavor. Huh. barbecue flavor

I wonder if that was good I don't know I wonder that also I think that we cannot try it anymore because it was only a 27 It's not good You know it may not have been good Locked in

Answers are coming up Karen and Dana have written payday Colin has written Butterfinger It is payday Yes Payday famously made of just like caramel with like or you know the inside

better. Yeah, okay, yeah. Case then we wants an update on the standings. Dana and Karen have one point. Colin has zero points. As we move into question number two. Question number two, what popular candy was created accidentally when waves from the ocean flooded a small boardwalk shop in Atlantic City in the early 1880s? I heard this was a, this is a rumor.

What popular candy, according to a fake rumor that Karen had. was created accidentally when waves from the ocean flooded a small boardwalk shop in Atlantic City in the early 1880s. Karen says taffy, parentheses, saltwater. Colin and Dana both say saltwater taffy. I will give you all the point, this saltwater taffy. Now, what Karen is saying here is that, yes, the poor guy's shop got flooded, and as he was cleaning up, a girl came in and said, do you have any candy? And amongst the wreckage of his store, he's like, well, I've got some saltwater taffy because the tapy was currently sitting in a bucket of salt water.

And the girl was like, cool, I like candy. I don't care. And he gave it to her and she ate it. And then it became a marketing thing where they started calling it the saltwater taffy. Hey, you want some candy from my dirty mop bucket? Yeah, exactly. Filled with a fish poop. Lots of debris from the shop.

It is made with salt and it is made with water. So technically it is true. People have a sense. The thing is, it's typically sold at beach towns and people think that they go out and they take the salt water from the ocean and like that's how they make it. No, they do not make it that way. You should not try to make it that way. They're happy to let you think they make it that way. Exactly. Okay. Question number three. If I went to Japan and I bought a Kit Kat and that Kit Kat had on the front of the package a photograph of a plant rhizome sitting on a piece of shark skin, what? flavor of candy am I about to eat? Ooh. I'll say this again. If I were to go to Japan and buy a Kit Kat with a photo of a plant rhizome sitting on top of a piece of shark skin, what flavor of candy am I about to eat? Oh, man.

Hmm. Okay. All right. Oh, that's what it is. Dina says green tea, whereas Colin and Karen both. say wasabi. It is Colin and Karen who have the right of it. Yes. So wasabi is a plant rhizome, the sort of the part of the root system of that plant, right? And it traditionally, and this is shown on the package of the wasabi Kit Katz, it is graded using a piece of shark skin.

Yeah. Yeah. Shark skin is famously made up of tiny, tiny little teeth, fine like sandpaper. Yes, exactly. So instead of using, traditionally, instead of using sandpaper, they use shark skin. Oh, we have to remind everybody that Karen wrote a book about shark trivia. What's that, what's that called? Jawsome shark quizzes. Yeah. Available. I love that you can't even get through your own pun.

Yeah, that's really, it's the ultimate sign of a good pun. Moving on. Question number five. What flavor are circus peanuts? Oh, my God. They have a few. I mean, I mean, the standard regular circus peanuts. Of course they have like circus peanuts in like many different flavors.

but if you just buy a bag and it's just like circus peanuts, like the standard ones. What flavor are they? And yes, they specifically have a specific flavor. All right. Dana says orange. Colin, trying to be more specific, says orange cream. Karen says honey.

I have stumped everybody. Okay, let me. Now you're going to learn this. Yes, circus peanuts are colored, sort of a weird, dull pastel orange. They do look a little quick. cream sickly, although they really look a little bit sickly. The, um, the actual flavor of a circus peanut is banana. What?

Yes. I think you meant clown vomit is the flavor. Yeah. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. That's question nine, okay? Don't, don't jump ahead too quickly. Wow.

Yeah. Question number six. This is going to be, this is this, this is the essay question. question. Okay. How do you eat sour flush candy? Now, I'm going to say right down, I want you to imagine a candy called sour flush candy, and I want you to write down how you think you eat it. Now, closest, closest to is going to get the point here. So at least somebody is going I get the point in my judgment. Unless somebody knows exactly how you eat sour flush candy.

S-O-U-R-S-O-R-Sour-F-L-H-H-Kandy. Okay. All right. Whether I'm wrong or right, I'm happy with my guess here, Chris. Okay. Yeah, same. All right. Karen says toy toilet.

She's written on toy toilet. Colin says stick a toy plunger into a toilet containing sour bits or powder. And Dana says, slurp candy slime from a little plastic toilet. These are all, so these are all excellent guesses, but I'm going to tell you this is how you eat sour flush candy. Yes, sour flush candy is a toilet with a with a with a, candy plunger, which you lick the candy plunger, open the plastic toilet lid, stick the plunger inside of the candy toilet, which contains powder, swirl the plunger around in the contents of the toilet, remove it, and then eat it again.

So Colin absolutely does get the point on this. Now, Colin, did you know this or did you simply infer this? I was just trying to mash together everything I knew about like 80s candy. And I was Remember, like, fun dip? Yeah, and I figured it was, like, a gross take on fun dip. That was kind of where my mind went. That is precisely what it is. Yeah, well, fun, I mean, Fun dip fundamentally already gross. This just takes it to the finish line.

Yeah, exactly. Question number seven. We, my family and I, recently visited Pizmo Beach, California. And we visited the flagship store of a company called Hot Licks. This company says on its website that they want to, quote, bring fun to Entomolophagi. What sort of candy would you thus expect to buy there? I'll say this again. We recently visited Pizmo Beach, California, the flagship store of a company called Hot Lix, H-O-T-L-I-X.

This is a company that says they want to, quote, bring fun to entomulphagi. That's E-N-T-O-M-O-P-H-A-G-Y. What sort of candy would you thus expect to purchase at Hot Lix? I've seen so many of these at, like, yeah. gas stations. These guys are the originators. Road trip gas stations. Yep.

Oh, yeah. So Dana says spicy candy, whereas Colin and Karen say insect candy, yes. You can buy the classic cricket licket or the tequila worm lollipops. It's a scorpion. Yeah, I think, yeah, I feel like the scorpion lollipop really stands out of my I should have written it down when you spelled intomaphagy, because I would have gotten it if I had looked at the word, because entomology is bugs, but yeah, right, right? It's a lollipop, the format of ingesting a lollipop is usually by licking. Yeah.

But once you get to the bug, you can't. Are you supposed to, like, crunch it? I think the idea, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, I think the idea here is you're like building up, you know, to the bug, right? Like, you're not, I mean, the first lick of it, you're just eating candy. Yeah. And then you're just eating candy for a while. And then it's sort of making the decision, like, do I, am I going to, am I going to eat this bug?

Or am I just going to get, what if I get to the point where there's just like a little bit of the bug is showing, you know, is exposed? Do I, do I lick the bug then? Do I cross the Rubicon? You know? The special Thanksgiving dinner themed candy corn made by the Brock's company has six different flavors inside. Try to name as many as you can. You can write down a total of six items. Okay.

Say this again as they're writing, the special Thanksgiving dinner-themed candy corn made by the Brock's company has six different flavors inside, the big bag of stuff. Try to name as many as you can. You can write down six items. I would say, as a hint for everybody, try to think of the entirety of a sit-down meal. Oh, the peptobismal flavor. Six, you say, yeah, Pepto-Bismol all six. I'm not expecting, yeah, exactly.

I'm not expecting everybody to get all six. There's no, like, regular candy corn in here. It is six different flavors. Got it. Okay. All right. Yeah, I want you guys to check these off, and then you can read. Oh, okay, okay, okay.

Yeah, I'll read them. Okay. Here are the six flavors. Number one, roasted turkey. Okay. Turkey. Yeah. Two, cranberry sauce.

sauce. Yeah. Got it. Yep. Yep. Yep. Yep. Four, green beans.

Oh, got it. I thought about it. Got it. Five, apple pie. Oh. I put the other pie. I did, too. Okay.

And six, coffee. What? What? No pumpkin. No mashed potatoes. No mashed potatoes. Okay. Okay.

So, Colin, you got for you got turkey, green beans, stuffing, crammy sauce, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pumpkin pie. Aaron, cranberry turkey stuffing green beans, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie. So the exact same ones, Dana had cranberry pumpkin, oh, just pumpkin, yeah, yeah, turkey, stuffing, sweet potato marshmallow. Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah, that would have been a good one. Yeah, yeah. Question number nine, back on, back on weird flavored small candies.

Which of these is an actual flavor found in jelly bellies, birdie bots, every flavor meat? Oh, vomit. Vomit, spiders, or poop? Which is real? Which is real? Which of those three is real? Which is an actual flavor of Jelly Bellies, Birdie Bots, every flavor beans. Only one of them is real. Vomit, spiders, or poop. All right. That should be the name of this show. Everybody says, vomit, everybody is correct, yes. You did not get fooled by either spiders. There is an earthworm flavor, but there was no spider flavor. And poop is right out. Yeah. Fomit tastes like vomit.

Did you see that Nathan for you episode where he tried to make soft serve that tastes like poop? He was trying to help a soft serve company get customers. So he researched how to make one of them tastes like poop. Okay. All right. Question number 10. I'm not sure where to go after that.

Sorry. This is for two points. This is a two-point question, if you can get this. The selling point of the Canadian chewing gum known as Thrill's, as stated on its box, is that it tastes like soap. What is the actual flavor of Thrill's brand chewing gum? Oh. I can think of so many things that taste like soap. Right, right.

The world is full of things that taste. But it literally says in the box that it tastes like soap. Hmm, they're leaning into it. Well, now, exactly. Three, two, one. Okay, Karen and Colin have written Violet, and Dana has written, sorry, what did you write? I put Rosewater. Rose water.

Rose water. Well, you'll be interested to know the answer is Rosewater. Yes. Trills is Rosewater flavored. Rose water, apparently if you look back at desserts and things like that in the 50s and things that before, basically like before vanilla became widely available. Rose water was very often used in desserts like where, we use vanilla now, like, you know, oh, put a, put a, put a, put a tablespoon of rose water.

Oh, interesting. Yeah. Yeah. It's very Persian. Yeah. Well, and you should buy some thrills gum apparently. So when people are sending us, the King Dongs, they can send, they can, come on Canada. Um, all right. Well, um, gee, Dana, you got the two points there. Wow. That's a double. Nine points. Uh, Colin and Karen actually tied, um, with 10 points each. Um, thank you, Dana for the inspiration. Thank you for everything you've brought, you know, to good job, brain. Hard to imagine it without you.

All right. So for my final quiz, we're going to go wiki diving together through Wikipedia. So the game is, I'm reading the Wikipedia page until I find a link that I can't exist anymore and I'll click. But there's no going back. Any link that happened earlier in the paragraphs is now dead to me. It's off limits. I'm like, it didn't catch my interest.

And if I make it to the bottom of the page without finding a link, the game ends. So this is like, this is what I do every night. I realized that I was doing it. And then I was like so tempted to look at other pages or like go back. And I was like, no, no, no. I like it. It's like a one way choose your own adventure kind of thing. You know, you don't allow yourself to go back to the previous jump.

Yeah. So I found questions during the process of this and some, like, trivia tidbits. So let's, I'll make it clear when a question's emerging, but I'll, like, take you on the journey. All right. Okay. All right. So here we go. I decided to start with snarge, which is one of my favorite words that I learned while we were working on. Good job. Brain. Does anyone remember what snort is? Karen. it is the leftover matter of when a bird hits a plane yes is it alive is it dead it's snarge the bird shake that that you now have so when i type that into wikipedia it auto redirected me to bird strike and i was like oh off to the where like a link happened that i didn't even pick on purpose so i don't think i looked at the wikipedia or i didn't find this when we talked about snarge before

because there was a really good acronym for what a bird strike is. B-A-S-H. Do you know what bash? Well, it's got to be bird. Yeah. Aerial or airplane. Aircraft. Yes.

Yes. Bird aircraft. Strike. And the last word. Happening. Happening. Oh, you got so close. Hazard.

Ah, of course. Bird aircraft. strike hazard. Yes, yes. I saw this on the page, and it was, in terms of wildlife, bultures, and Canada geese are ranked as wildlife hazards number two and three for planes. So what's number one? Yeah, what kind of animal is the number one wildlife hazard for planes, where it's the most dangerous animal for a plane to hit that happens regularly? Like, you can't be like an elephant. It's probably not an elephant. I'm going to say a seagull, just because a lot of airports near the coast. I don't know. It's not actually a bird.

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Is it hornets? No. Wow. Because of nests. It has four legs. Four legs? Aircrafts?

It's a four-legged animal. Oh. Like, it's sorry, but it's not, so it's not a, it's not a flying animal. No. Interesting. Colin? A moose. You're close.

It's a deer. It's a deer. Oh, okay. Yeah, okay. They're deer everywhere. They get on to the things. And they cause the most. damage. Even though like 90-something percent of the hazards are birds, the deer are the most

dangerous animals. Wow. Pound for pound. Yeah. With finding that information out, like the little bit of information I had to look at a footnote. And I was like, ooh, I feel like I'm starting to cheat. So I was like, a better hurry and find a link to get off this page. I was like, yeah, you're going to find a link. And then I kept reading the page. And then I saw a link to U.S. Airways Flight 1549. and that sounded familiar because U.S. Airways Flight 1549 is also known as the miracle on the Hudson.

Oh. That happened because of a bash, a bird, aircraft. Ah. Aircraft strike hazard. So on January 15th, 2009, a flight from New York City to North Carolina struck a flock of birds shortly after their takeoff and then they lost all engine power. They had to do an emergency landing on the Hudson River

And there was a major motion picture made about this incident called Everybody. Sully. Yes. Starring Tom. Tom Hanks. And I clicked on Tom Hanks because I was like, let's go to the Link Palace. Let's go.

And so I clicked over and it was overwhelming because it was very full of interesting links. I was like, oh, am I going to click on Splash or League of Their Own or Toy. story and then I'm reading the links and I'm like you know what these are no longer clickable because I've read them now like I'm scanning through and oh which is okay I was like well that's fine so I kept reading past the first paragraph of his life and I see he went to my high school Skyline high school in Oakland California yeah local I don't click it because I already know that and I keep reading and I got to this part and he goes hanks then suffered a run of box office underperformers, the Burbs, 1989, Joe versus the volcano, 1990, and the bonfire,

the vanities also 1990. 1989's Turner and Hooch was Hank's only financially successful film of the period. And then I was like, isn't Turner and Hootch about him and an animal, or is Hooch a person? And I was like, I'm not sure. I'm going to, okay, I'm going to peek and I clicked it. And so now I'm on Turner and Hooch. You've been Hooched. I've been Hooched.

Who is Hooch in the financially successful Tom Hemp? Hank's movie, Turner and Hooch. Karen's going to know exactly what breed of dog. Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Huge is a dog. Yes. Turner is Tom Hanks. I get it confused with Tango and Cash.

Yes. It's also a vastly different movie. Turner and Hooch is a 1989 American buddy cop comedy starring Tom Hakes and Beasley the Dog. And I would have definitely clicked on Beasley if Beasley had a Wikipedia page.

But he did not have a Wikipedia page. And then I saw this thing. It was Touchstone's pictures acquired the screenplay for Turner & Hooch for a million dollars, which was the highest amount ever paid by Touchtone for any script at that time. I was like, they bought that script for a million dollars. And I read the plots, and I'm going to spoil the movie now. Okay. Did you know that in the end of this movie, Hooch dies?

He gets shot. Oh, does he? Oh, no. dies at the end of this movie. I saw this movie, and this is still news to me. He had puppies, and one of the puppies looked like him, but I'm like, that's not Hooch, though. So I kept reading, and I found a really interesting bit of trivia about Turner and Hooch, and that was, there was a Happy Days alum who is going to direct Turner and Hooch, but he got fired

for not getting along with Tom Hanks. Cool. What Happy Days alum. Yeah, there's a few to go with here. I can all think of one. I know. Okay, Chris. I'm going to guess Ron Howard.

Yeah. It is not Ron Howard. Okay. That was a good guess. I was going to say Henry Winkler. It's Henry Winkler. Ron Howard did stir the pot. He did gossip a little bit about it, but it wasn't him.

Wow. But it was Henry Winkler who said, let's just say I got along better with Hooch than I did with Turner. Oh. All right. So I was going to go to Henry Winkler. but then that felt like a backwards click so I kept going on the Turner and Hooch page

I was like uh oh is this game going to end soon I found NBC did a television pilot based on the film in 1990 it aired in the summer along with another dog pilot Poochinski under the banner Two Dog Night and I was like Poochinski we're doing I can see a little black and white TV guide

you know what I mean the ad for it right now. It was the same person who came up with, yeah, you know, like must-see TV. They're like, they're riding high. They're like, no, no, two-dog night. Two-dog night. All right.

Oh, no. Poochinsky, a 1990 unsold television pilot. The story follows Chicago police detective, Stanley Poochinski, played by Peter Boyle, whose spirit transferred. Oh, Pucinski's a guy. Yeah, whose spirit is transferred into a flatulent English bulldog.

The K-9 detective. Then Returns to Solving Crimes. And in that paragraph, I have links to Peter Boyle, Flatchelins, and English Bulldogs is linked. But I didn't feel them, so I kept going. Then I saw on July 10th, 2018, the last podcast on the left aired the pilot in its entirety on their live stream on the Adult Swim website. So I clicked on the last podcast on the left because I've heard of it, but I hadn't heard it. And they also covered Poochinski. So I was like, this sounds like my kind of thing.

And so it turns out last podcast on the left is a very successful podcast about horror and other creepy stuff. It looks cool. I see that they want a People's Voice Webby in 2017. And I click on Webby's because I'm old and I remember the birth of the Internet. And I remember I was definitely alive and aware of the Internet when the Webby Awards first happened. But I don't know what year that happened. According to Wikipedia, which is the source that counts here, I want to specify what year was the first. first Webby Awards.

Wow. Chris, I feel like Chris would know. I heard a horse. I'm going to guess 2006. No. Because why are, I got,

well, I got nominated for a Webby. Yeah. I'm going to say like 1993. Oh, close. Karen. Yeah. You have a guess. 1994.

I'm trying to prices. It's 1996. Ninety-six. The 26. years ago. Wow. They're known as the Oscars of the Internet. So Chris was practically up for an Oscar of the Internet. Virtually. Yeah. Exactly. Yes. So it's excellence for the Internet. I felt like this trivia question would come up in a pub quiz round. All Webby Award speeches are exactly the same length. How long are they? I believe it's five seconds. No. Oh, really? It's very

short. Yeah. Oh, is it? No, I'm sorry. It's five words. It's five words long. Five words. Every Webby Award speech is five words long. I remember this because they honored Stephen Colbert the night that I was there. And he was still in the very in the middle of the, you know, the Colbert rapport sort of persona. And so his acceptance speech was me, me, me, me, me, me. Yes.

I'm glad you said that, Chris, because at this point, I've, I did some off-roading and I felt, I feel a little bad. But there was a footnote leading to the best five-word Webby acceptance speeches. And I clicked it because I wanted to see what the five best were. It was ad-blocked. And then I did a shameful thing. And I googled it. And then, like, I'm way outside of Wikipedia now. And I'm like, oh, I feel really, I feel so bad, but I really want to know what the five best were.

So last year, 2021, they did a bracket with them. And the four finalists were afraid, okay. do it afraid. That was Jesse Williams. A lot of them have that vibe. It's like, stay lit in dark times. Miley Cyrus said that. Stay turt. Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. And the last one, I only get five words, David Bowie. I was like, that's cute. And then I was like, okay, well, who won? This happened last year. Their website only had the page for the semifinalist, not the finalist. I'm like fully down a different hole now. I watched a video of the CEO of the Webby's talking about it. I found out some troubling information against Wikipedia, and the CEO of the Webbees said repeatedly

that they started the awards in 1997, not 1996, as Wikipedia said. I was like, who can you trust? And I was like, okay, back to Wikipedia. I'm done with this real world nonsense. I couldn't find the actual winner. That was a long story. I just wanted to tell you guys about the bad thing I did because I felt very guilty, leaving Wikipedia to do outside research.

back to wiki. I kept looking at the Webby's and then I found a great trivia question on there and that was 2013 Steve Woolhite broke the internet and started a huge controversy and it was an um-actually

that we still think about today. I remember this. I'm just going on a minute. Is this a GIF-Jiff moment? Yes. Right. Creator of the graphics interchange format Steve Wilhite accepted his Webby

and delivered his is now famous five-word speech. It's pronounced GIF, not GIF. Yeah, it's too bad that he's wrong. I know. It's a shame. I know. It's really unfortunate.

So I clicked on him. I was like, well, let's see more. Let's find out more about this guy. What's his deal? And so he was the engineering lead on the team at CompuServe, and they created the GIF slash GIF image file format in 1987. And so ever the provocateur, he said this about Good Job Brain's beloved reference, the OED, the Oxford English Dictionary, oh, Colin, you're going to, this is going to tap your hide.

He said, the Oxford English dictionary accepts both pronunciations. They are wrong. It is a soft G pronounced g in the story. And I was like, and then I kept reading a bit more. And I saw that he passed earlier this year from complications of COVID-19, which is very sad. And I was less mad at him personally. And I realized it's not that big of a deal. The last two links on his page were COVID-19.

or Columbus, Ohio, and I chose neither. So that was the end of the wiki dive. Bravo. Bravo. Wow. Bravo. All right. Thank you, Dana.

Colin, you got something for us? I do. I do. I cannot promise that there are any flatulent English bulldogs appearing in my quiz. The bar has been raised, but I hope you guys will like this one. I've got a quiz called the D's. Have it, a.k.a. Da-de-d-D-D. Now, you know I have fun giving these quizzes, names. This is a quiz. This is a quiz about famous people, famous names. I will be asking questions in the manner of if I were that person.

All of these people's names have either a D-E, D-I, D-A, or D-U in them, possibly as a separate word, possibly right before a capital letter. You know, the way of many people of Italian descent, for example. Got it. This quiz will not include Matt Damon, even though his name begins DA. Let me give you a sample question here, all right, to get you used to the format. This will be buzz in. You don't need to buzz in for the sample.

You can if you want to. I created the most famous artwork in the Louvre. Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo I thought it was right I was like Why did you end? Yeah,

I got halfway through there Three words Leonardo da Vinci Keep in mind the format Every answer This person's name Will have a D-A

D-E D-E D-I or D-U I have a question Does Yeah That means like Of something

It does Almost always Almost always It means of Yeah A place Or a region Or a lineage

Or yeah Almost always I like this That's right That's right. All right. Here we go. I tried to arrange these in increasing difficulty,

so we'll warm up your brains as we go. Get your buzzers ready. One of the most respected actors of my generation, I've portrayed Al Capone and Vito Corleone. I heard a dog first. Karen. Robert De Niro. That is correct.

Robert De Niro. Three words. Big D. You know, putting this quiz together, I realized one thing. which is if you asked me to correctly punctuate and capitalize all these, I would really be at a loss because some of them are, some of them are Big D, some of them are small D,

some of them are run together, some of them are standalone. Yeah, yep, exactly, exactly. All right, that's right, Robert De Niro, Bobby D. Number two, before starring in some of the biggest films of the 90s and 2000s, I was a child actor. One of my first big breaks was a recurring role on the sitcom Growing Pains. I think Chris was first there on the buzzer, but you all clicked. Chris, what do you got?

Leonardo DiCaprio. That is right. Small D.I. Right into the big C. No break. Leonardo DiCaprio. I don't know if this is true or not, but I read in a couple places online that he was, in fact, named after Leonardo da Vinci. Apparently, his pregnant mother felt him kick for the first time while they were looking at a Leonardo painting.

when they were visiting Italy. So take that for what it's worth. Number three, as a young stand-up comic, I snagged a coveted appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson before later hosting one of the most successful talk shows of all time. What? Chris with the guests. Oh, with the, I got it, I got it.

Ellen DeGeneres. Correct. Chris has it. Ellen DeGeneres. Yeah, a little tricky there. My mind kept being David Letterman. David DeLetterman, yeah. Number four, my first major film appearance was in

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest from 1975. Oh, Chris, all right, no more hints. What do you need, Chris? What do you got? Danny DeVito. Yes, that is right. Danny DeVito. Yeah, yeah, that's right. He was actually appeared in the play version, the theatrical version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest before he appeared in the movie as well.

Yeah. Anyone want to guess how tall Danny DeVito is? Oh, geez. 411. Something like that. 5.2. The Wikipedia says 4 foot 10. Yeah.

Yeah. I just saw that somewhere. I actually just read it. That's why I did the answer. Number five. I was born Amanda Lee Rogers but I'm known professionally

by this name. Dana's on it. What do we got? Portia de Rossi. That's right. Portia de Rossi. She is not Italian. It is a stage name. Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi. They're together.

All right, next one, next one, here we go. in my playing days my nickname was the Yankee clipper

Joe DiMaggio That's right Joe DiMaggio famously name checked in a Simon and Garfunkel song and was also married to Marilyn Monroe among the clues I did not need to use there but yeah there you go I had to look up why he was called the Yankee

Clipper I didn't quite get the reference according to the National Baseball Hall of Fame it was because he patrolled center field in Yankee stadium so gracefully that he earned the nickname the Yankee Clipper a reference to the great sailing ship very very poetic

wow wow yeah I thought he was just going to up and down the dugout giving everybody impromptu haircuts but watch out here it comes he got the left side last time all right number eight I started my acting career in my native Cuba and in recent years I've landed roles in big

budget films portraying a bond girl, Ryan Gosling's hologram girlfriend, and the very real Marilyn Monroe. Karen, what do we have? Anna de Armaz. I'm not sure if that's how you pronounce it. Knives out. Yeah, and of course, great role in Knives Out. Yeah, I believe that the Maryland movie comes out next month on Netflix, I think.

Number nine, as an actor, comedian, writer, voiceover artist, and even chef, I was seemingly everywhere in the 1970s and 80s, but to a generation of movie fans, I may be best known as Bert Reynolds' Funny Buddy. Chef. Chris Kohler. Because it's Dom Deloese.

That is right. Dom Deloese. He was, yeah. Faces or something, too, right? He was a cook. He wrote several cookbooks. Yeah, several movies, of course, alongside Bert Reynolds. His real life friend. They really were buddies, and Bert Reynolds

would kind of, you know, pull him along, I think, in a lot of his movies. They also, of course, voiced characters together in All Dogs Go to Heaven, where Bert Reynolds was Charlie B. Barkin, in All Dogs Go to Heaven. Pitchinsky. Deloese was Itchy, Itchaford in that film. Number 10. I have directed numerous Hollywood hits, including Carrie, Scarface, and The Untouchables.

I wrestled under the stage name, the million-dollar man. I had faith Chris would get this one, Chris. Ted DiBiase. Ted DiBiase, the million-dollar man. Apparently his son's Mike, Brett, Ted Jr. also went on to Russell professional in their careers. All right.

Number 12. My breakthrough role was as Lana the call girl in the 1980s smash risky business. Many people don't know that my father was radio and TV host Wally George. A number of sultry and or dangerous blonde femme fatale type rules. When she had in the hand that rocks the crazy. cradle. She was in the hand that rocks the cradle. It's in the punch bowl. You want me to give you a letter? Let me give you an R. I know it's the R, but I. R. D. Time running out. I am looking for Rebecca de Mornay.

Yeah, yeah. Many, many people say that. I said it

the first time, of course. Yeah. W.E.B. Du Bois. That's right. William, Edward Burckhardt, Du Bois. Oh, Berkhart. And he very pointedly pronounced it Du Bois as a way of sort of claiming his Americanness and his American blackness and not alluding to maybe the European aristocratic feel

that it might do. Yeah. All right. I was one of the most successful directors and producers in early Hollywood, but perhaps my lasting legacy is the visual stereotype of the director with writing crop, megaphone, and Jodpers.

Oh, Karen. What's his first name? Cecil? Well, last name is DeMille. Yeah. Cissel B. DeMille, director of many hits, including the Ten Commandments, Cleopatra. And he really, really did wear

Presentation graphics for overhead projection. Now, children, or children and some adults currently. Before a time in classrooms, before everybody had a laptop or before even the classroom had a computer of any sort, I don't even know how to describe this. Like, you know, if your science teacher is trying to like kind of diagram, let's say, the water cycle, what do you do? Well, we had these overhead projectors, which is a big light table and a lens. And the professor would or the teacher would have a transparent sheet and then you either print like Xerox. copy on it or you draw on it with marker and it you put on the erase marker yeah and then you like put it on this light table and then it gets reflected through this giant lens and onto the wall
