You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, witty, winsome, wise cracks wishing for wicked wisdom. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and op-beep trivia podcast. This is episode 250. And of course, I'm your humble, host Karen, and we are your naturally knavish narrators of knowledge about narwhals. I'm Colin. And I'm Chris.

And we have a special guest today. Friend of the show, Mr. Tyler Hinman. Hello there. How's everybody here? Hello out there in Radio Land. Good to see you again. Likewise. It's been a hot second. Tyler, just quickly, we want to celebrate you. Oh. Recently, you

won, well, you and your peers won, the MIT Mystery Hunt. Congratulations. Thank you so very much. I'm holding up our nice coin that we got. Wow. And what do you get for winning the Mystery Hunt? The prize, and I use that word in extremely heavy quotation marks, is to prepare the next year's mystery hunt. Oh. So I and my team are very hard at work on that and will be for the next 10 months, I guess. Be careful what you win. Yeah, it's the congratulences is the term frequently bandied about. There are many, very many, there are many smart teams, very gifted teams who are capable of winning the whole thing and take great pains to ensure that they do not.

So that they can play again. And plus, after you run one, you don't want to run one again for a few years at least. Yeah, I'm guessing the first time you win. It's like, wow, I get to run next year's LAT mystery. It's like a different type of collaboration, right? Solving a hunt together is a different dynamic and different skills than producing and executing a hunt. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of organizational skills because you need to pick like a cool theme and like kind of arrange a story around it because there's a lot of, there's a lot of kind of theatrical elements to hunts, particularly in recent years. In addition to, oh, yeah, all those puzzles that are various ridiculous stripes and varieties. So much pressure. I get stressed out enough just writing one quiz just for these guys on the show. Wait, I should actually say, I mean, Tyler, by the time this episode air, she'll probably have gone to the American Crossword Puzzle Tournament as well. Yes. Yep, that's correct. It hasn't

happened yet. Yes. At the time of this recording, I am the reigning champion, but by the time it hits your ears that may no longer be the case. Hopefully it is, but we'll have to see. Well, good luck. Thank you. Thank you very much. Uh, to you, Tyler. And without further ado, let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot. All right. Tyler has a special button, so let's familiarize everybody with it.

Okay. That was easy. That's, the staple's easy button. Here I have Trivial Pursuit 20th anniversary edition. All right. Here we go. Oh, man. What a downer question.

Oh, here we go. We picked it. What African nation's 1999 prison population of 143,000 included 135,000 held on suspicion of participating in genocide? Wow. Welcome to the show, everybody. Welcome to the show, Colin. Wow. Rwanda?

Correct. It is Rwanda. Good job. Let's just move on. Quickly, moving along, let's move past Jen side. Pink Wedge, what strip joint? Okay. Yeah.

Oh, man. What strip joint is portrayed on HBO by the Satin Dolls Nightclub in Lodi, New Jersey. Chris. Let me have it. It's the Bada Bing. The Bada Bing. Gentleman's establishment. Yellow Wedge, who asked about.

his qualifications to be governor noted, quote, all this says in the rule book is be over 25 and live in the state for one year. Chris. All right. I'm going to, I'm going to do a curveball here. I'm going to say Jesse the body Ventura. Yes.

Oh, all right. I was, I was thinking Arnold. I was thinking Arnold also, but I felt like he wouldn't treat it as, he didn't treat it as a joke. Yeah.

Yeah. Okay, Brown Wedge. What NPR star turned a Yuletide gig as a Macy's elf into a story titled The Santa Land Diaries? That was easy. Tyler. I think I got it. Is that David Sedaris? Yes. Yeah, yeah. All right, I got one. On the board.

Green Wedge. How many calories are stored in one pound of body fat? Multiple choice. I'm not going to give it to you. Too many. I can tell you that much. Oh, you're not going to give us the multiple traits. You're not going to give you us? Oh, boy. How many calories are stored in one pound of body fat? Yeah, that's, man.

I'm going to be like over or under by, like, a factor of 10. Yeah. This is like burned in my brain. Oh, really? Yeah. Go for it, Colin. 100. 3,500.

So 3,500. That is your unit. Wow. Okay. Okay. Okay. Hey, Orange Wedge. Last question on this card.

What was Carlos... Oh, man. What was Carlos Berga? Bayerga. Baerga. The first major league baseballer to do from both sides of the plate in the same inning.

That was easy. Tyler, our baseball fan here. I'm going to say hit a home run. Yes. Hit home runs. For me, the most untouchable record in sports is I believe for Fernando Tatis who hit two grand slams in one inning.

Oh, that's right. Right. Which I'm pretty sure that will never be equaled. Pretty much impossible. Wow. Today show episode 250, every fifth episode on Good Job Brain. We don't have a topic. We don't have a theme. All of us have prepared quizzes to stump each other and stump you guys listeners. So today, drum roll please, is our all quiz bonanza number 50. That's crazy. It's crazy. It's awesome. Two, 250 episodes. All right, Tyler, as our special guest, we sometimes know what vaguely, what the other person is doing, but you're a special guest, and we have zero idea what you have prepared for us.

So why don't you start? Why, thank you. I believe I shall. All right, brace yourselves for a truly incredible, shocking development. I prepared a sort of crosswordy wordplay related quiz. I know, I know. I'll wait for your jaws to be picked up off the floor.

Knowing that this was episode 250, I prepared a little quiz called CCL. And what I'm going to do is I'm just going to give you kind of a crossword style clue. And each one will lead to usually a two-word phrase, but for a couple of them, a compound word, in which the first word or part starts with C. And the second word or part starts with CL.

Wow. All right, one more time. So much more effort than we put into ours. Sure. So episode number 250, C-C-L, for those of you versed in the Roman numeral arts. So I'm going to give you kind of a crossword style clue. The answer to each will be two-word phrase, usually, occasionally a compound word. First word, we'll begin with C, and the second word will begin with C-L.

All right. C-L-blank. I'm getting out the template here to, I love it. I love a quiz that I have to make notes on before I even get started. As for a format, I found 18 of these that I think are pretty good, pretty, you know, common phrases. So I figured maybe we could just kind of go around the horn, take turns, and if someone has trouble, the others can jump in. We'll kind of do it that way. Sure.

Yeah, all right. All right. So I'll just go clockwise around my screen, and Chris, you're in the upper left, so why don't we start with you? I try to arrange these roughly in order of difficulty, I guess, but, you know, your mileage may vary on that front, obviously. Okay. Um, so we'll start out with, uh, with this one in the CCL quiz. All right. A little birdie told me what time it was.

Cuckoo clock. Oh my God, you're so fast. All right. Let's move on to Karen. Scratching post scratcher. Cat claw? Cat claw. That's what I have.

Nice. Yeah, write in if you have alternate answers at home. Colin Unburdened one's conscience Come clean Come clean You guys are so good All right back to Chris

Place with a golf course often Country Club Country Club indeed Karen Very easily understood Crystal clear You do you have so much anxiety There's so much pressure.

Just going around the horn. Your friends will be there to help you out. Doing great so far. Let's see where am I? All right, Colin. Ali, formerly. Cassius Clay. Cool.

Cache's clay. Chris, a puffy sight in the sky. Cumulus cloud. Cumulus cloud is correct. Karen, 1990s White House occupant. Chelsea Clinton. Elsey, Clinton, his name that fits the pattern there. All right, Colin, we'll test your kind of old school vocabulary here.

Wittershins. Wittershins. Man, you've heard that word. I have heard that. I have heard it. Wittershins. Wittershins. Give me a, give me a venue or a area of life.

Is it a food product or like a... It's sort of, it sort of harkens back to one of the previous. answers. And this is also one of the compound word ones. It's something about like the juxtaposition of things. It has to do with the way something might move. Oh, uh, uh, counterclockwise. Counterclockwise is for. Oh, there we go. Yeah. What, then what's clockwise?

Without her shins. One old word for that, but I can't remember what it is. Hold on. Let me look it up. Oh, I found it. The opposite of Witter Shins is Sunwise. Oh, okay. Or Diole. Diole.

Oh, I think I've heard that, dimly. That's sounding dimly familiar. Winter Shins is way more fun to say. All right, Chris, next one is cleric, paladin, wizard, et cetera. Oh. Oh, character class. Character classes, indeed. Okay.

All right. Karen, storage area accessed more in the winter than in the summer. Ah, something closet. Yes. What you wear in the winter more than the summer?

Oh, coat closet? Coat closet? Indeed. Coat closet. Colin, we got saving money with scissors. Oh, coupon clipping. Coupon clipping, indeed.

So, all right, Chris, Go into the kitchen for this one Kitchen strainer that's not edible Kitchen strainer That's not edible Despite what the name Mike can be Kitchen strainer

Oh how about cheese cloth Cheesecloth is good The CH words Yeah the CH like the Chelsea Clinton The cheesecloth Yeah yeah Karen, what undercover cops wear? Not clean clothes now, I think.

Casual clothes? I have a different word for the C. Clothing is the second word. Like someone who's not a cop would be called a... Civilian. Civilian clothing, yes. Oh, civilian clothing. All right. Colin, someone granting a marriage license, perhaps.

Someone granting a county clerk. Yes, indeed. Good one. All right, Chris. Film with a small but dedicated following. Cult classic. All right. And this is, I think, I think this is the toughest of the bunch. We'll see how it goes. Karen, halves of a sentence connected by and, but, or. Con something clauses Causes is correct

Con not conjugate No Does not start with con It does start with CO but not con Compound clauses This is also The first word is something you might also see In a math class

Someone jump in and save me Co-operative clauses No Coordinate clauses Coordinate clauses Coordinate clauses Coordinate clauses Coal you can jump in on this last one

Which probably isn't the toughest one but I had to put it last, of course. And the clue is, well, that settles that. Case closed. Yay! And so closes this quiz. Well done all. That's fun.

Your quizzes are great because they're very, like, the NPR Sunday puzzle. Exactly. This kind of style I was going for it. Totally. Totally. Love it. Yeah. Now, how do you, I think there's people are going to have this question, which is what is wrong with you?

No, I'm sorry. The question is, if you figure it out, let me know. how do you you come you can go up with this idea for these phrases but then how do you generate those those phrases oh like just finding the answers yeah are you just literally sitting there just like thinking about okay that's one okay that's another one i mean i could but i probably would not have come up with all of these on my own yeah i'm certain i wouldn't have up with nearly all these on my own there's a great site called uh one look dot com i just type C asterisk space C L asterisk.

And that gives you basically, it searches all the dictionaries that are out there, Wikipedia. You can order by commonness, which is good because this site changes everything. So there's a lot of just total crap that's not really a thing that I would never have put in this quiz.

But if you sort by commonness and get some, you can get some decent stuff there. So 1.0.0.com? One look.com. Yes, indeed. It's a great tool for this word finding. So the asterisk stands for, of course, any number of letters, but you can also put question marks to stand for single letters.

So if I wanted, if I wanted the C, the C.L word to have six letters, I could have entered CL plus the four question marks, and that would have served that up. Wow. Onelook.com. All right. That's a good one. It's a good little site. Nice. Nice. Useful for quizzes, such as this.

Colin, And I decided to structure it, traveling back in time. So I have put together 10 questions covering 50 years. We're going to go five years back in time with each question. We're going to start with 2018, five years ago. And we're going to end in 1973 before any of us on the show. You're kidding me. That doesn't even sound that far back ago.

50 years is 1973? Yeah, and speaking as the person whose birthday is probably closest to that, yeah, I'm feeling the same way, Karen. So, yeah, let's buckle up here. I'm sitting here thinking,

oh, that's when World War II ended, you know, like this? Yeah. Oh, my God. All right, let's do this buzzer style. Get out your buzzers. Jump on in here. I will give you a hint,

and the year, of course. We're going to cover all aspects of life, little pop culture, little politics, little literature, little history. So we're going to try and stretch all our brains out here. Here we go. Five years ago at the 2018 Grammys. Oh, no. The big winner of that night, the album of the year and song of the year went to this Hawaii native.

Karen, I heard first. Bruno Mars. That is correct. Mr. Bruno Mars absolutely cleaned up that night at the Grammys, not just album of the year, not just song of the year, but also the record of the year, best R&B album. I mean, just, yeah, he loaded up that night. Traveling back in time, five more years,

starting to get a little fuzzy. We're already 10 years out now. All right. In 2013, Yahoo! Was on a bit of a bounce back in 2013. A new CEO, Marissa Mayer, and a lot of us. other, you know, Irons in the Fire, paid $1.1 billion to acquire what company? Karen again.

Is this Tumblr? It was Tumblr. That is right. Yahoo. Wow. One, one point one billion dollars. Guys, I had two Red Bulls at 9 p.m. Karen is destroying us.

There's no stopping her. Yeah. Mother's little helper. 2008 going way back way back this 2008 might have been the year we started playing pub quiz together Karen I think so I think so maybe oh yeah that's when we started working together yeah that's right 2008 Merriam webster put out their word of the year as they've done for several years now I'm going to give you the definition and you tell me what the word was all right I can't get this

Word of the Year is a definition is noun, a rescue from financial distress. That was easy. Bailout? I also had bailout. Bail out. That's right. These Merriam-Webster words are defined by their peaks and lookups for most of the years in the history.

There were a couple years where they experimented with different techniques. But as you may remember, the financial meltdown, the banks having to come and be bailed out. It was earlier today, Colin. What do you do? No. It's like, that happened today. Good times. Yes, good times for some.

Five years further back. We're now 20 years back in the past already. We're still in the 2000s. 2003. Karen is just stressing out over here over the time shot. 2003 marked the final. trip of what notable passenger vehicle? That was easy.

Was this the Concord? It was. It was the Concord. That's right. The Supersonic Jet, very famously sort of co-operated by the French and the British governments through their respective airlines. Why did they stop it? There was a crash, right? October of 2003 was the last British Airways flight. Air France had stopped in May.

of 2003. But yeah, there was a very horrific crash in 2000. An Air France Concord crashed, killing more than 100 people. And they were out of service for a while. They did come back for a while the Concord flying. But it had gotten so expensive and just so much bad PR. People just weren't flying it as much, honestly. It didn't make financial sense for the airlines to keep operating it.

The final flight was, you know, celebrity. packed. And there was a couple of Ohio who apparently paid $60,000 on eBay for a pair of tickets on the last flight from New York's JFK to Heathrow in London. Christy Brinkley was on the flight, I guess. And then I guess after the flights, it was just an all-out free-for-all on selling Concord goods. Like blankets were going for $2,000, you know, that people would either maybe sneak off the flight or that the company himself would sell. They sold off parts of the plane for just thousands and thousands

of dollars. Yeah, trying to get that money back, I guess. Speaking of money, let's go back another five years to 1998. In 1998, the film Titanic became the highest grossing film of all time.

In March of 98, it surpassed the one billion box office mark. It was released in 1997 and just kind of kept on rolling, steamrolling everything in its path. So, as I say, it became the highest grossing film of all time worldwide in

1998. What film did Titanic pass? What was previously the highest grossing film of all time? Chris? I'm going to say Jurassic Park. You got it. Excellent. Wow. That's right. Jurassic Park from

1993, Stephen Spielberg, of course, directed, and it surpassed Spielberg's previous effort of E.T., which had been the highest grossing up to that point. So Spielberg passed himself, and then James Cameron passed him, and Cameron has, of course, since topped himself again with Avatar. Five years further back, five years further back, we're in 1993 now. Oh, it's a good year. Yeah, yeah. A peak Lollapalooza year still just in the prime Lollapalooza money making operation at a Lollapalooza

concert in Philadelphia in July 1993 members of what rock band stripped naked put duct tape over their mouths and had the letters PMRC on their chests

in a statement of protest against the parents' music resource center trying to basically censor lyrics. 1993, Lollapalooza, American rock band, I will even give you. Chris, who do you got?

I was going to say the red hot chili peppers. It is not... I mean, a lot of performing in their underwear anyway, so it's true. I've been known to get naked, it's true, or at least the down to the socks in strategic places. It was not the red hot chili peppers. Karen?

I got a guess. Okay, what did you guess? I believe they're called the Chicks now, but they were called the Dixie Chicks. Not the Dixie Chicks. I remember them doing something like that. This is a band known for their political views. Oh. That was easy.

You said political views, would it be Rage Against the Machine? It was indeed, rage against the machine. I need a chance. Yeah. You know, their debut album had only come out in 1992. So, I mean, this wasn't them kind of coasting on years of success, like, oh, we can do whatever the heck we want up there. No, I mean, they went out and they stood just silent for 15 minutes. That was their act with just naked duct tape PMRC.

1988 was an Olympics year, of course. That year at the Summer Olympics, after a 64-year absence tennis returned to the Olympics. Wow. At that Olympics, the term Golden Slam entered. the common parlance. Now, the Golden Slam, referring to a tennis player who won all four of tennis's slams plus a gold medal. Oh, wow.

Who in that Olympics became the first singles player, legendary player. You know this player's name. She became the first player to win the Golden Slam. Tyler, what do you got? All right. I think there's a number of good guesses here. I'm going to go with, I'm going to go with my gut, to say, Martina Navratilova.

Oh, I'm sorry. Excellent guess, but it is not, it is not Martina Navratilova. Karen, what's your guess? Steffie Graff. You got it, Steffie Graff. That's right. Yeah, obviously one of the best players of all time.

Yeah, so she got the Golden Slam. Now, since that time... Yeah, how many other people have golden slams? Well, I don't have all of the exact numbers here because it gets into singles and doubles. I see. And then you also get into the distinction of the calendar year slam or the trailing slam. So, yeah, there's a whole Wikipedia page here.

You can slice and dice it. Serena, Serena has gotten the career golden slam in both singles and doubles. So, yeah, a notable issue. It's like the sports egotts. It is like the sports egotts. Yeah, that's right. That's right. 1983

on February 28th more than 125 million Americans tuned their TVs to watch what television event

which would become the most few TV broadcast of all time for many decades Tyler and Chris tied again I think Tyler you got the last tie Chris what do you got? um the reveal of who shot jr oh that is an excellent guess but that is not correct tyler tyler second bite here what do you got um i think it was the uh series finale of mash

you got it that is absolutely correct that's right that is right it is the last episode the 251st last episode of mash that's right on cbs uh yeah so from 1983 uh it would remain the most viewed TV broadcast in American history until the Super Bowl of 2010. So it, yeah, I mean, maybe not surprising that a Super Bowl beat it, but definitely pretty impressive that it took that long for a Super Bowl to surpass it. Guys, we're like the kids in the photo from back to the future as we jump back in time. We're like starting to not exist and disappear. I'm already past that point.

So you're gone. I'm gone. We're out of my lifetime. You're the one by the well. Ninety-eight. We have crossed over into another decade here. 1978, question number nine. The Nobel Peace Prize, 1978, was jointly awarded to the leaders of what two countries?

Oh, I think I know. I want to-one. If you want to give me their names, I'll take it. If you want to give me the countries, I'll take it. That was easy. Tyler. Egypt and Syria? You're half right.

You got one of the countries. This was awarded to the leaders of Egypt and Israel for essentially negotiating a piece between the two countries. Oh, I see. The two countries' relationship together. That's right. That's right, too. Monachan Began and Mohamed Anwar al-Saddha.

Brokered in no small part by Jimmy Carter. Jim Carre is badass, man. All right, last question, 1973, 50 years in the past, outstripping all of our lifetimes here. The number one best-selling book in the United States for 1973 was this allegorical tale of an introspective avian. Karen. Jonathan Living. You got it. Yes. Jonathan Livingston Seagull. That's right. By Richard Bach, a novella, an absolute phenomenon. All right. Well done. You guys did really good here for 50 years of history spanning all domains. Back when I said Egypt and Syria, I went all over there out to the U.A.R. in like the late 50s.

Well, if we can all feel just a little bit old. than I've done my job. So, well done. Mission accomplished. All right, everybody. We're going to play a quick game. We've never done this before on air. I don't know if it's going to work.

It's going to take a little bit of audio magic. But we're just as a little palette cleanser, we're going to play a game of password. Password. Probably seen it parodied on Saturday Night Live. Also, I think Jimmy Fallon plays it on Tonight Show. What we're going to do is we're going to split into teams of two, One person is going to be a guesser

And one person is going to be a clue giver The guesser has to guess the secret word It's one word The clue giver can only give a clue In the form of another one word The whole deal is to mind meld Pick the right word That makes the other person guess the secret word

And don't worry listeners We're going to tell you what it is With a little bit of editing This is all secretive So we can use various one-word clue, pretty much. Yes, one at a time. One at a time. So you give a word, then they guess.

They get it wrong. If it's wrong. We can pick a different word. And all of these words are kind of good job, brain-related. So here we go. Chris and Tyler, you guys are on the same team. Chris, you're going to give the clue. Tyler, you're going to guess.

All right. Boy, answering short clues. I don't know if I'm up to this. Maintain eye contact. The past. word is Belgium. Right. Not. You can spell it. Yeah. Oh, N-O-T. Belgium. Yes. Oh, my God. Ah, I knew it. I knew you were going to come through. Long time listener. Yep, yep. Incredible.

incredible incredible oh i knew it i oh that redeems all my missed questions previously mine mailed all right saying your secret word the password is curry hmm i give him to chris yep okay stephen i'm gonna jump out of my skin i'm gonna jump out of my skin Oh, no. Wrath. You know, Stefan Graff. You know, Steffi's brother, right? On the Golden Slam, men's sentence.

This is one of those, if I were on the real password, I would definitely pass. Oh, my gosh. Indian. Oh, curry. There is. Yay. I know you're not a sports guy But like being in the Bay Area

I don't know it was a little bit Colin It's you and me Okay Because these are surprised words I actually asked Colin's wife To write words for him So I don't know

Okay Just pick one The password is molasses Okay Flood Oh molasses

Yes Yes Good Excellent Good job Excellent Nice While I'm thinking about

I just want to point out That I got the word curry I was cluing for Chris And at no point In that entire process, did I think of Japanese curry? Only natal. I mean, but even if you said Japanese... That's true.

That could be in any number... Yeah, still. I would have said Katsu, maybe. Yeah, I would have said Katsu. If I thought of it, I would have said, Ganoia, and that would have been... But I like Stefan. Somehow, he goes to sports. All right. Well, thank you, everybody. That was a last. That was fun. That was good. That's good. Let's take a quick break. And we'll be right back.

Are you dreaming about becoming a nurse or maybe you're already in nursing school? Nurse Moe, creator of the straight A nursing podcast, and I want you to know that I'm here for you. I know nursing school can be challenging. I've been there, but it doesn't have to be impossible. Sometimes the key to succeeding in nursing school is to hear the concepts explained clearly and simply, which is exactly what you get with weekly episodes of the straight A nursing podcast. Each Thursday, I teach a nursing concept or share tips and advice to help.

you succeed in school and at the bedside. My goal is to help you improve how you study, get more done in less time, pass your exams, and feel more confident and clinical. And if you're already a practicing nurse, these episodes are for you too, because as nurses, there's always something for us to learn. So subscribe to the Stray Day Nursing podcast and I'll see you on Thursday. Appeline. Did you know the pandas, people a hundred times today? You're listening. Good job, reading. Bye.

And we're back. Today, you are listening to All Quiz Number 50. So the other day, I wanted to say, I asked my three-year-old what she wanted for dinner, and her response was I want chicken and ketchup

and iPad and water. Takeaway here is, yeah, I guess our kids are turning into iPad zombies, but at least they, you know, at least they're drinking water. You know what I mean? They're hydrated. Yes. Yeah.

Actually, very good point. Yeah. Didn't ask for like a snar-in-off or something. She asked for water. Yeah, exactly. So that's good. So she's been eating through all our chicken nuggets at a tremendous rate. Excellent.

And we ran out. And so I had to order McDonald's because I can order McDonald's and it's here in like 10 minutes. You know what I mean? Like the DoorDash person just goes immediately through the drive-through, gets to McDonald's, gets to our house. Right. So if the kids are like, I want chicken nuggets and I will murder you, you know,

it's like I can do that and have it in very quickly. Trying to take inspiration from things around me when I write quizzes. I thought that I would do something that I'd been kind of thinking about for a while, which I wanted to do a quiz about McDonald's around the world. Woo! I love it. Ten questions, all about regional McDonald's items. So they had McDonald's practically everywhere in the world with the same basic menus.

right but that the special items on the menus are very rarely the same you know the always different special items on the menus uh for the different countries that macdonalds is in this is why i like going to macdonalds in new countries because there's always some weird thing you can try um so this is a 10 question write down quiz with a total of 17 possible points so you can do very well for yourself here potentially add to my lifetime total yes that's right well there's There's the guy who's keeping track of that. I don't know if you know about that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was on the board. You're on the board. And I'm honored.

So if you are all ready, I'll go in with question number one. You'll write down your answer and show it to me. We got three competitors this time. So, you know, it's going to be. We win McDonald's if we win the quiz. You do. Yep. You do win McDonald's your quiz.

That's a gift certificate. Pre-value $7.95. You win a free, hashbrown. I'll get you a hashbrown. So question one, if you were. to order a moon viewing burger, what country would you be in? If you were to go to order, if you were to go to McDonald's and order the moon viewing burger, what country would you be in? Is there a possibility that multiple places could have this? I don't believe so.

I try to double check that, but I believe this is one country's McDonald's has the moon viewing Burger. In the spirit of your daughter, I'm writing my answers with crayon. Good. I'm writing mine in ketchup. I'm writing mine in pink slime. Wonderful. All right. Answers up. Let's see Tyler's hold that up there. Tyler says turkey. Karen says Japan in parentheses egg. And Colin says Tyler and Karen gets to the point. It is Japan. The schemie burger, ski means moon, and me means looking at the, the Skeemie burger goes along with the moon viewing festival, which is a big festival held in Japan in autumn.

When you go out and look at the big harvest moon, so McDonald's has the Schemey or moon viewing burger. It has become a sensation over there. It basically has a fried egg on it to represent the moon. You can get the melty zucchini now with cheese, sauce on the egg. You can get the Schemey muffin for breakfast. While all this is going on, they have the Scheme, the sweet potato shake, all fall. Oh my goodness. Sweet potato shake, chestnut McFlurry, and a pie with mochi in it. Because in Japan, they don't see the man on the moon,

what they see in the moon is a rabbit pounding mochi. That's, that's right? So big thing, schemey time in Japan. It's very good. It's like their pumpkin spice. It's their pumpkin spice. For McDonald's, yes. Oh, it actually, but like McDonald's, I believe, started it, but now everybody copies it. So it is their pumpkin spice. It is. It really is. And egg. Their pumpkin spice is an egg. Chestnut McFlurry is a great, like, Southern Murder Mystery character name. You know what I mean?

I was thinking like a Scottish landowner. It's like, yeah. Yeah. So question number two, Karen is on there with one point. I guess I should keep track of your school. Yeah, I want the hashbrows. One to nothing, it's nothing. All right. What is the main ingredient in India's Mikaloo Tiki Burger? Oh.

What is the main ingredient in India's Mikaloo Tiki burger? How well do you know your Indian food menus? What is the main ingredient in India's Mikaloo Tiki burger? five seconds four three two one answers up

everybody says potato everybody is correct it is Indian for potato the McLaloo Tiki burger is quote a golden fried vegetarian patty prepared

with peas potato and infused with aromatic spices served with sliced tomatoes shredded red onion and tangy tomato Manette. Oh, delicious.

Don't you want to go to Indian McDonald's now? I do. Oh, my gosh. But we're not going to Indian McDonald's. We're going to question three. Question three. So if you were to walk into a McDonald's in the United States of America

and get a McTerry deluxe, what state would you be in? Oh. If you were to walk into a U.S. McDonald's and get a McTerry deluxe, what state would you be in. Can we get a spelling of Terry, please? I suppose I will give you the spelling of

Terry. It's like, it's like SNL actress Terry Gar. Oh, then what I'm thinking is not correct. Well, I already wrote my answer down. That's a deep SNL cut, Chris. Yeah. That's in crosswords all the time, so I got them. Don't worry about it. All right. Answers, answers, answers, answers. Colin says Pennsylvania. Karen says Hawaii. Tyler says Hawaii. The answer is Hawaii. It is a burger with terriaki sauce. Also a mainstay in Japan, but they have it in Hawaii. Colin, are you thinking of Terry Bradshaw? I was. Yep, that's where I was going to. Yep. Yeah. I was not going to be a jerk and not give the spelling. I mean, I guess I gave it in a way. No, it was a, yeah. It's a, yeah. Good, good question to ask more.

Hilarian move. So, but, so continuing on with question number four, if you were still hungry after your McTerry deluxe and you ordered an apple pie in that Hawaiian McDonald's, what would be unique about it? Oh. If you were to order a McDonald's apple pie here in California versus ordering one in Hawaii, the Hawaii one, there would be a difference. What is that difference?

That difference can be expressed in a single word. You don't have to write a sentence here. If you were to order an apple pie with your McTerry Deluxe in Hawaii, what would be unique about that apple pie? Okay. All right, answers up. Colin says it's frozen. Tyler says it would have tarot root in it, tarot,

and Karen says deep fried. Karen is running this game because in Hawaii they still fry their McDonald's apple pies. Now kids, as intended. If you did not grow up eating fried pie. Oh, Colin, did you not know? What do they do to them now? Oh my God, you don't know? I'm so sorry to tell you that they bake them now and they're bad. They used to take these apple pies and deep fry them in the chicken nugget fryer basically. And they'd come out with just bubbles all over them. They were like 250 degrees. Too many times to count.

I burned like the entire inside of my mouth on one of those things as a kid. Yeah. It's worth it. And you don't even care. She's like, it's so good. It hurts so much. It's,

oh, they were so delicious. Then McDonald's is like, oh, we have to like make these healthier by baking them. Yeah, that'll do it, McDonald's.

That should, that'll solve the problem. And if you go to Hawaii, though, you can still get in some places around the world still have them. Hawaii still has them. I think, but like some franchise.

In franchises in the U.S. might still do it that way, but it's mostly just baked here, and it's just like, so. Wow, that's... Uh, yeah, let us not bury ourselves in nostalgia. Let us move on to question five. Let's say you hop from Hawaii and catch a plane to the United Kingdom for dessert after your pie. We're in a UK McDonald's for one point each. Name two of the debailles. British candy brands that you can get mixed into a McFlurry. Okay. Okay.

This is based on me looking at the McDonald's UK website the other day. Brands or like items? Specifically a specific type, a candy item in the UK that you can get mixed into a McFlurry. All right. McFlurry being a cheap, low-rent blizzard. Also, not that. Not that anybody has ever had a McFlurie because the machine's always broken, but theoretically, a McFlurie is like a Dairy Queen Blizzard ice cream with stuff all mixed into it. You could name two. Karen says Flake and Galaxy. Tyler says Malteseers and Flake. Holland has written down Smarties and Malteseers. The answers are, for one point each, Malteseers and Smalteseers and Smalteseers and Smalteseers. Marty's.

Yes. Colin gets a big two points. Oh, Lord. Karen's no longer running this. I had all three and I just, the smarties here and over there are very different. Yes, yes, yes. The difference is chocolate.

Yes, we should say Smarties in the UK are like M&Ms. So something you would like to have in your ice cream and not something is in your ice cream. Actually, I'm at McDonald's. com slash gb for great britain oh yeah slash menu slash desserts dot html and for limited time only you can get a galaxy chocolate mcflurry oh for real yes all right well let us help me i'm i'm gonna have to multisers and smarties yeah and galaxy is a limited time thing they're offering right now well i did say you get a limited time point Karen it'll disappear after a while last to the end of this

quiz. Yeah. Wow. Okay. Question number six. So usually McDonald's breakfast protein, if you go to McDonald's generally in most places,

if you get a breakfast sandwich, it's going to be pork sausage patties, right? If you go to the U.S., get your pork sausage on your breakfast sandwich. But in Australia, you can order the big Brecki burger,

which includes two beef patties, cheese, bacon, a fried egg, barbecue sauce, and what? So imagine, the big Brecky burger. It's got two beef patties, cheese, bacon, a fried egg, barbecue sauce, and then what? Meaning not pork. And there's a bun.

Oh, no, not pork. It's not pork. All right. I'm not talking about it. It's not a sauce or anything like that. It's a substantial ingredient that would really. change the character of what you're eating.

Well, I'm sticking to my answer anyway. Yeah, I'm sticking with my answer too. It's not a sauce. It's not a sprinkling of something. Okay, people are going all over the place. Wow. Tyler says Vegeamite. Karen says beetroot

and Colin says ostrich. You guys are all thinking zebras when I was going for horses. The final ingredient of the big Brecky burger in Australia is a hash brown. Oh, hash brown. I tried to inception it into you guys.

Okay, and doesn't that sound incredible? Doesn't that sound like it would just murder you? I really want to eat this. Question seven. Now, you may already know that in France, if you want a quarter pounder with cheese, it is actually called Le Royale cheese. But did you know that although it was discontinued in the U.S. in 2011, you can still go to France and order this competitor to Le Wopper.

So you may already know that in France, if you want a quarter pounder of a cheese, it's called the Royal Cheese. But did you know that although this burger was discontinued in the U.S. in 2011, you can also order in France this competitor to Le Wopper. That's French for the Wopper. This is a convoluted way of saying what competitor to the Wopper did McDonald's used to make. That was discontinued in the U.S. in 2011. Oh, so we can't get it anymore.

We can't get it anymore. You used to be able to get it in the U.S. What? Tyler, I think, is writing something down. It may actually have this. No, I mean, it can't be the Arch Deluxe. Like, his ranch on it. Hmm.

Oh, I don't know. I forgot about the Arch Deluxe. Oh, and thinking of television commercials with Jason Alexander has up and down the DLT, the hot stays hot and the cool stays cool. I don't think it was as late as 2011, though. that wasn't it and tyler thinking of the uh sandwich for grownups that mcdonald's famously introduced with a massive marketing campaign that was a huge flop put down the arch deluxe and you're all wrong oh wow completely wrong you've all put down certainly macdonald's burgers but you've all

forgotten about le big tasty the big and tasty which in france is called le big tasty and is still available and it was their it was the wopper it had a big paddy and it was basically like McDonald's trying to do a wopper with a with a you know sort of outsized patty that was not thicker it was like um the paddy had a larger diameter and radius the wopper is has a as a larger radius it's not a thicker paddy it's a big wide of it and that's what the big and tasty was yeah i like how i wrote down an answer that i felt good about and then immediately it was like, oh, it can't be Arch Deluxe. What's the idiotic answer is that?

Arch Deluxe was great. When that came out, I wanted an Arch Deluxe and I got it. I thought it tasted delicious. But it just wasn't, it's like McDonald's just desperately trying to like come up with like a fancy burgers. People would go out for like a fancy date night

at the McDonald's. You know, it just doesn't, yeah, they kept trying that. Never worked. Yeah. Did you get reservations? Oh, we're sad, baby. Don't worry. Yeah. I'm not able to cashier. They got our table for us right by the, right by the bathroom. So we're still in a quiz here, folks.

Question eight, you can only get the spicy buffalo chicken version of this menu item in the province of Quebec. Spicy buffalo. You can only get the spicy buffalo chicken version or variation of this. menu item in the province of Quebec. I don't know why. This is just sort of, you know, this is a thing. I went to the McDonald's website and they said this and I'm like, huh, that's, I don't know why that would be the case, but you can only get the spicy buffalo chicken version of this

menu item in the province of Quebec. Let's have some answers. Show me some answers. Tyler says McNuggan. Collins says chicken McNuggets Aaron says Mick Poutine

Karen is Mick correct That is Mick, it is Poutine You can get Poutine and McDonald's across the great nation

of Canada Spicy Buffalo Chicken Poutine Okay Only available in Quebec All right folks It's question nine

And you know what that means I mean You don't know what this means, but question nine means this is the one where there are seven possible points. Oh my gosh. On the line. Question nine, seven possible points. Here is the question. I may give you approximately 15 seconds as measured in crisp brain seconds to write down as many as you can here.

In Spain, you can order a sandwich called the signature huevo bedouettes. Benedictine. Okay, the signature Cuavo Benedictine. It has seven. It has seven major components. You have 15 seconds to write down as many as you can for one point each. Starting now. Sharpies. Oh, God.

Flying furiously. Are we counting? If you feel like, if you feel like, you should write that down. You should write that down. Okay. I just, I just wrote down the, yeah, the first seven things that I could think might be in the kitchen there. All right. And the signature

of Puevo Benedict. Three, two, one. So Tyler says, egg, yes, Hollandees, yes. Muffin, no. Ham. No, I'm not going to do ham. Paprika, no.

Spinach, no. And Fried bowl. Only in Pampona. I'm extremely bad at this quiz. So let's see how Colin did at this. Collin says, eggs, yes. Hash browns, no. We didn't bring back the hash browns.

Sausage, no. Bacon, yes. Gravy, no. Onions, I will give you. It says crispy onions, but yeah, I'll give that to you. And then bell pepper, no. no. And now let's go to Karen. She has

written down, egg, yes. A beef patty. Yes. Cheese. Actually, it's Gouda. Yes, I'll give that to you. Iberico ham. No, it's actually bacon is referenced as the pork. Oh, I thought it was clever. A bun, yes. And Hollandees, yes. I will tell you. Wow. Here are the ingredients. A, yes, because it is an

Eggs Benedict Burger. So we've got bun, beef patty, bacon, eggs, guda, cheese, crispy onions, and Hollandease sauce are the ingredients. Again, I'm getting really hungry. Is it a breakfast item or is it like a burger burger? No, it's a, it's a lunch dinner. Whoa. I think so.

I mean, maybe it's an all-day thing, actually. That's a good question. It sounds delicious is what it sounds like. So going into question 10, Karen has a level. points. Tyler has five. Colin has six. So Karen is, Karen is killing it. She's killing it. Uh, so question 10, a little palate cleanser here for everybody. Where are you in the world? If you order a one piece chicken McDew with mixed spaghetti. What country are you in?

McDew? Where, what country would you be in if you went to McDonald's and were able to order a, I mean, you guys you're able to order a, I mean, you guys you're able to order. in any McDonald's not have to look at you like you are crazy they will give you a one piece chicken mcdoo with mixed spaghetti well can i ask for a spelling of micdew it is mcd oh i guess it might be mcdo it's an abbreviation of mcdonald all right time to have to mcdoo or mcdon't where are you if you are a one piece chicken mcdew with mixed spaghetti. Oh, the chicken is weird. What country are you in?

You don't think the mixed spaghetti is weirder than the chicken? No, the spaghetti gives me a good clue. Okay, okay. Let's do it. Okay, Colin says China. Tyler says Italy. Karen says the Philippines.

Karen, the international McDonald's champion of the world has got it again. That is the Philippines. And that is something that you would probably come that conclusion, if you've heard of the restaurant Jollybee, which we have a lot of, that's a Filipino fast food place that serves a lot of fried chicken and spaghetti. Oh, it's like the competitor.

Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. Yes, so this is like the Jollybee competition in McDonald's in the Philippines, which is just fried chicken. I finished McDFL. Well, Karen ran away with it with 12 points. Congratulations, International McDonald's Superstar. Karen, you win some free McDonald's, so we'll get that over to you as we can. I'll come right out of the good job, brain, budget.

How much is a hash? He's going to expense you for one hash brown. Yeah. I feel like putting hash browns on burgers is like they need to do more of that here. Yeah. I put potato chips in my sandwich. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Pro move.

Dill pickle flavor. favorite potato chips. Ooh, that's smart. Changes the game. All right. So for this one, we were going to that ubiquitous presence in all of our lives, Google.

And on the flagship Google search engine, there's a number of kind of Easter eggs. And I've zoomed in on one particular category, the did you mean functionality? You type in something that's slightly misspell. It'll say, did you mean this in a lot of time? Yeah, that's right. But there's also a few kind of Easter.

extra egg things that are kind of whimsical and perhaps not actually helpful for your search but are funny nonetheless. So I got a number kind of questions of various kind of structures about this. And the first one, and this is, you know, near dear to my heart. We just kind of answer these collectively, I think. Okay.

What word did you type into the search box if you see, did you mean nag a ram? Oh, anagram. Antigram. Right. Oh, cute. It's not a very well-mixed anagram. I'm just taking the first A and moving it into the middle,

so I think they could have done a little bit there. No big deal. All right. What name did you type in if you see, did you mean who is, then the name of the person? How about Alex Trebek? If you type in Alex Trebek,

we'll say, did you mean who is Alex Trebek? Whoa, hold on. That's cool. That's good. And diving even further into the pop culture references. What two-word phrase did you type in? if you get, did you mean steamed clams? Was it steamed hams? Hams.

Hams. Google will say, did you meet steamed clams? The classic. That's like the only Simpsons reference I know. It's been meaned to death over the last several years. People have done a lot of things with it. So kind of going in the other direction, what comes up if you search for Bruno Madrigal? Oh.

Oh, does it say? We don't talk about... Does I say, we don't talk about Bruno? We'll say, did you mean we don't talk about Bruno? Oh, wow. Another kind of pop culture reference here. What does it suggest if you type in assistant regional manager? Oh, did they say, did you mean assistant to the regional manager?

Yeah, Dwight Shrewd clarification. Did you mean assistant to the regional manager? Got it, got it. That's great. I don't get it. It's a Dwight Shrewt from the office reference. He would constantly call himself the assistant regional manager. to be corrected.

Oh, you're the assistant to the regional manager. What suggestion comes up if you type in the one ring? Did you mean the precious? It says, my precious, with four S's. And another good one here. What does this suggest if you type in recursion? Did you mean recursion? It says, did you mean recursion?

It says, did you mean recursion? And a similar thing happens when you type in, like you type in X and it says, did you mean X? When you type in the name of what movie? Oh, oh, like, you type in the name of the movie and it says, You type in the name of the movie and it says, Did You Mean? Oh, it's Groundhog Day. Groundhog Day, yes.

Yeah. Of course. Last one, you can Google either one of these three word phrases. The last two words are the same. Only the first name is different. And it will suggest the other one. So in those two names, one is six letters. beginning with g and the other is three letters beginning with h and then the two words after that

are the same and it'll suggest the other one if that makes sense how many letters in each uh the one one I'll tell you their character names one character name is six letters starting with g and the other is three letters starting with h oh yeah yes so it's a grito shot first did you mean han shot first If you type in one, we'll say, did you mean the other? That's great. So, yeah, that's my dumb little did you mean quiz. That's interesting to know that. Yeah.

Throughout history, royals across the world were notorious for incest. They married their own relatives in order to consolidate power and keep their blood blue. But they were oblivious to the havoc all this inbreeding was having on the health of their offspring, from Egyptian pharaohs marrying their own sisters to the Habsburg's notoriously oversized lower jaws. I explore the most shocking incestuous relationships and tragically inbred individuals in royal history. And that's just episode one. On the History Tea Time podcast, I profile remarkable queens and LGBTQ plus royals explore royal family trees and delve into women's medical history and other fascinating topics. I'm Lindsay Holiday and I'm spilling the tea on

history. Join me every Tuesday for new episodes of the History Tea Time podcast, wherever fine podcasts are enjoyed. All right. I also have food on the brain. And this is a recurring thing we've talked about in previous segments and episodes, which is food trends. We like to talk about Chris, you had a whole section on pumpkin spice latte. We've talked about salted caramel, like the origins of these food fads and flavors and ingredients rising in popularity. So there's this interesting data company called Data Essential, and they have basically mapped out something called the menu adoption cycle. And it's four steps. And this is basically how foods or ingredients kind of rise in popularity.

I love this. I know. I talk about this all the time. Oh, I love it. Just really quickly. The four stages, we start with Inception. So this happens in like fine dining, very localized establishments, maybe like ethnic or foreign foods. Then we have adoption where this is where like food trucks, you're kind of specialized supermarkets, whole foods, casual dining, you know, starts kind of appearing in the menu. Then you have proliferation, which is stage three.

Your casual chains, quick service restaurants, your traditional grocery store. Safeway, Costco club stores. Then we hit ubiquity. That is like you go to a gas station and you'll see it, right? Or a drugstore, dollar store. So like you, Colin, I have a quiz where we count backwards. Starting from this year, 2023 to 2015, quiz questions about the hot food trends of that year. Oh, I'm very excited to see if you talk about a trend that I've noticed.

but I won't say anything. There's so many. Okay. There's so many. And they're at different stages of adoption and proliferation. It's funny because as we go back in time, some of these things that were, that seems so new is kind of like, oh, I see that at Trader Joe's. I see that at CFOA. I see that at Costco.

This is a buzz and quiz. So let's start with our current year and count back. 2023. Things like dry January and sober October has a, along with the rise of wellness culture, a lot of people are into mock tales or zero-proof alcohol. Yes. And so let's go back to some OG mocktails. Tell me, what is the difference between a Shirley Temple and a Roy Rogers?

That was easy. Tyler. I'm not sure, but my first instinct is that the grenadine? The grenadine is in common. That's what they have in common. What's different. What's different? Chris.

I want to say Shirley Temple has like cola and the Roy Rogers has ginger ale. Flipped. You're flipped. Shirley Temple. Oh, right. Yes, of course. Yep. Shirley Temple is grenadine with a sometimes club soda, but historically ginger ale.

Roy Rogers is grenadine with Coca-Cola. Yeah. Or Coke or cola. Yeah. So now 2022, what fruit in its native country, people not only eat it, but they also bathe with it. 20. Fruit.

20, 22, as in this is like that's when it hit. Rise enough. All right. Chris. Is it the asi berry? No, it is not. Take a lot of assy berries to bathe in them.

Is this a clue? It's a citrus fruit. Colin. Yuzoo. It is Yuzu. It's in Japanese cuisine, usually in a sauce form. It's not like you just eat it by itself, but you also bathe in the juice. You put it in your back.

I didn't know that. I like that. But for sure, man, there's been, yeah, you're right. There has been a lot of Yuzdu. Yeah, Yuzoo everywhere. We're seeing it. We're seeing it. All right, 2021, nut milks.

We like nuts. We like milk. But the oat milk brand, Oatley, made a huge splash, even getting loose. listed on NASDAQ. The company was founded by brothers Rickard and Bjorn Oste in what country? That was easy. Tyler. Given those names, I'll just take a shot at Sweden.

It is Sweden. Oatley is from Sweden. Thank you, Sweden. Oatley is delicious. All right, 2020, pandemic year. A lot of people had time at home. People also had lots of fun mispronouncing the meat and cheese display board by this animalistic name.

That was easy. Tyler, please. That is the great shark coochie. Shark coochie board. Sharkouterie. I use it to this day. I can't resist. It's endlessly amusing to me.

2019. The toppings of this dish includes lime juice, chili powder, cheese, and cheese and mayonnaise. Oh. Chris. Mexican street corn? Is that what you're looking for? Yes. Elote. Elote on vaso, which means corn in a cup.

Yeah. That's not big. It really did. Really did. All right. Going back, 2018. In Korean, this ingredient translates directly to red chili paste. Chris. Gochoo-Jang? Gochoo-Jang!

Go-J-J-J-G-G-J-G-G-G-G-G-G-G-G. 2017, it's the main ingredient in golden lattes, and also it's what makes mustard yellow. Oh, okay. Paulin. Is that, is that a turmeric? It is turmeric, turmeric. Yeah.

Make everything yellow if you spill it in your kitchen. Watch out with it. Yes. The turmeric, Old Spice, used. in a lot of different cuisine, but yeah, I think that the health benefits really kind of exploded into a trendy food item. Totally. Make golden lattes.

Those little $4, $2 ounce health shots. Oh, yeah, shots. It's like, hey, it's been in your French's mustard like this entire time to make it, you know. You know, that's the funny thing. All right. Last two, going back to 2016, copper drinkwear saw a huge boom. boom this year, thanks to the popularity of what cocktail? That was easy.

Tyler. The Moscow mule. The Moscow mule. Yeah, and now all the hipsters are like giving themselves copper poisoning. They're drinking so many mosca. People who like drink a lot of them are like the copper is like getting into their systems. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Final question, 2015. It's a drink. In the 1600s, Dutch, trading ships they might have invented this beverage as a way to transport and make this drink that did not require fire because they're on ships it's dangerous to make this beverage usually with fire okay sure but they made this drink they they so they made a different version of it that did not require fire gotcha 1600s uh but and this became this became popular again in what year?

2015. 2015, this started gaining popularity again. If you work for a tech company office, you probably will see these in your place. Tyler. Oh. Is it kombucha? No, no, no.

But yes, that's also when tech companies do. Oh, okay. So, oh, oh, okay, yeah, sure. Okay, okay, yes. It is a cold brew coffee. Oh, yes. Cold brew coffee. I knew it was coffee, but I'm just thinking like, what is, I knew, I knew you were talking about coffee, but I'm like, how do you have coffee on a ship without setting your ship on fire?

Yep, you just put it in water and you wait. That's what copper coffee is. Beans and water, it's like, all right. And now it's like, ooh, it's fancy. It's cold brew coffee. All right. Well, that was my funny food quiz. All right.

So here's what I think is, is having. having a on this is on this cycle right now i love i love watching these things my my hatch chili everything is hatch chili right now it's like hatch chili chips hatch chili dust flavor hatch chili this and that yeah ube ube was like maybe two one year ago oh i mean bay we yeah we usually get some of these trends pretty right pretty quickly nashville hot oh yeah yeah like Like Nashville, everything, every wing's place has to have Nashville hot. Every, you know, fast food, it's exploding and just becoming ubiquitous. The next time, you know, you have to go get your gas and step into a gas station.

Like, that's really interesting to see, like, what's available. You know, that is kind of what they say is the ubiquity marker is, is dollar stores and gas stations. Oh, interesting. Yeah, true. Because that's, that's everywhere. And so if you see the salted caramel Starbucks Frappuccino in a bottle of the gas stations, like, you've made it. Yeah.

You've made it salt of caramel. Yeah. The, the wasabi soy sauce almonds from Blue Diamond, like, Wasabi, you did it. Yeah. We're rooting for you. We got all the way. All the way to that Circle K.
