You're listening to an airwave media podcast. Hello, frenetic, fresh and frequently frenzied friends. Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 260. And of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are. perky pack of pals pros and pack durns i'm colin and i'm chris well i got some bummer news i learned that i was getting laid off a couple days ago but there's a huge silver lining someone at work i didn't know this person listened to good job brain and this person didn't know i was karen of good job

And she reached out to me. She goes, oh my God, I listened to the show. I had no idea we worked together. And our company was pretty small. She said, well, before you leave this week, I just want to say, I think all of you bring something different to your show. And I always thought you bring the heart. I think that both Chris and Colin are really good examples of how I would love my son to be one day. They embrace their smarts and keep their goofiness and humbleness. Isn't that nice? That's very nice. Thank you so much.

That's very touching. I was pretty calm about the layoffs. I was like, ah, this happens. And it wasn't until I read this message that I started, I started crying. I was bawling. I was like, oh, my gosh. That's really nice. Well, without further ado, let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot.

I have good news. I've resurrected. Oh, you did. The barnyard buzzer. Hail and hearty. Had to totally de-corrosionify the battery terminal. Did you use, like, baking soda? I used vinegar on a Q-tip because ordinarily I would,

this is like a Game Boy or something, I'd fully open it up and remove the battery connectors because they usually just pull right out. And these do pull out, and I spent a little bit of time trying to yank them out with, like, not tweezers, but like, you know, electronic pheasers kind of things. Wow. It wasn't coming out, and I was like, I could really break this thing.

I'm just going to go in with a Q-tip and some vinegar and try to dissolve it. And then really, they'd dry it, like blew it out with compressed air, you know, try to dry it. Incredible. Pop the batteries in, and we're good to go. It's oddly therapeutic. I always say, like, I love when I find, like, a Game Boy at a flea market, and they're like, oh, it doesn't work. It doesn't work. It's a dollar because it doesn't work.

And then it's like, you look at it and you open up the battery terminals and they're all corroded. It's like, it's probably that. All right. here I have a random, oh, I have a random stack of trivia, trivial pursuit cards. You guys have your barnyard buzzers. Chris has his rooster back so we don't have to listen to the rubber chicken shriek. What did somebody say they almost drove off the road? No, no, no, no, they were driving and they swallowed their gum. How are the cards looking today, Karen? one of these cards starts with what 1939 movie yeah get this gone with the wind well what's the what's the question what's the question

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Movies from 100 years ago, let's go. There could be no back to the future questions in here, yeah. Oh, my God, it could be 100 years ago.

Yeah. Oh. Maybe not quite that old, but it could easily be 80 years old. Yeah, yeah. Oh, my goodness. All right, well, so this 1939 question. All right. What 1939 movie had grouch?

Man I feel like We've had this in the quiz Before I feel like we did Like a longest And shortest I mean, we've been doing the show a long time. It's true.

We've had everything in a quiz before. But I should remember in Alaska. Yeah, you always got to listen for contiguous and continental in these U.S. St. Oh, oh, it is New Hampshire. New Hampshire, shortest coastline at roughly 18 miles. That is cool. Okay.

Usually in a good job Brain episode We have a theme or a topic last episode it was all about currency but every fifth episode we have no theme no topic and we've all made quizzes but today's a little bit different a couple weeks ago we all went in person to sparkle con which is a trivia convention we did a live recording of our podcast there we played pub trivia we played in the tournament it was it was great we met we met so many fans i mean it was really fun. Somebody gave us a friendship bracelet. It was, it was great. However, our sound files from our

live recording got corrupted. It's something weird happened to it. These things happen. And so we're sad to report that we only have bits of our live recording, which we will play throughout this episode. So if you hear something that sounds like a, like a studio audience, that's our Sparka Khan segment. They were there voluntarily. To be clear, they were not being. held captive. One of the, so one of the segments that did get corrupted was the 15 minutes standing ovation that followed the panel. So you do have to imagine that in your, in your mind. We will have segments from our, what we could save, our SporkelCon live panel, along with our usual Al Quiz Bonanza. This week, it's Al Quiz Bonanza number 52.

So I actually did something interesting last week. There was a video game conference, and they had a panel with the creator of Tetris, Alex E. Pachitinoff, as well as the former CEO of the Tetris company, Hank Rogers, who if you watch the Tetris movie, he was the character played by Terran Egerton in the Tetris movie, as well as Maya Rogers, the current CEO of Tetris. and they asked me to moderate the panel. Oh, awesome. Wow. And, yeah, so I went on stage with the Tetris Titans talking about the, you know, past, present, future of Tetris. Tetris is just this very unique video game because it's re-contextualized how we even think about our lives. When I was coming back from the Portland Retro Video Game Expo a couple of weeks ago, the Uber driver, as he's putting the bags into the trunk, he's saying to himself, like, all right, let me try to Tetris this in here. Yes.

I say it all the time. I do that, too, in that exact context of cramming stuff in my car. And it's like, nobody, when somebody puts food in front of you, you're not like, I'm going to Pac-Man this food right now. You know what I mean? Or like, let me go, let me go Mario over that fence. Like, nobody says that, but Tetris and universally, and importantly, like cross-language, cross-culture, yeah. That concept, like, to Tetris, right? And so, and then, of course, I kind of brought this up, like, as you're prepping for the panel,

Maya as the CEO of Tetris is like, please don't use my trademark as a verb, right? Right, right. Because that is how you lose a trademark. If something becomes a genericized verb, so the Tetris company would never do that. They would never use Tetris as a verb in that way. And so it is an interesting kind of push and pull.

You know, that got me thinking of we love on the show talking about trademarks, talking about how do things become a trademark or how do people lose their trademarks when they become genericized. Words that you didn't know used to be a trademark because they are so common. Words that you didn't know still are a trademark. You know they are so common. I'm going to get in trouble for using them. I've put together the trademark quiz.

I'm excited. It's in two parts. The first part is a quiz about former trademarks that have become genericized terms. In the true, like, legal sense, right? In the legal sense, yeah. And then the second part is generic sounding terms that we use generically that are, in fact, still active trademarks. All right. So here we go.

You'll just buzz in with the old barnyard buzzers, and we'll go ahead into the first part right now. Ooh, okay. First question. This name for acetyl salicylic acid is a generic term in the U.S., but it is still trademarked in Canada. Pollen. I believe that's aspirin. That is aspirin.

Acetylacillacic acid. You will still get in trouble in Canada if you try to use it generically. Is Bayer right invented that? They also used to have the trademark on heroin because they inventing heroin too as a wonder drug. Wow. If I lived by the border, I'd like cross the border and be like, aspirin.

You go to Canada jail. They're like, I'm so, sorry, and they put you in jail. Question number two, if you need to move diagonally, you would need to use one of these, which was a trademark until 1950. Oh. If you need to move diagonally. It's like the, is it the elevators at Luxor? Oh, oh, is it escalator? Yes, it's escalator. Escalator was a trademark of the Otis Elevator Company until 1950. No. I know. Well, here's, Well, here's one, here's one, too. This term for a hinged communication device was a trademark of Motorola until 2005.

Karen. Flip phone. Flip phone. Wow. Really? Flip phone is almost like heroin. Like, nobody's going to be trying to use that trademark anymore. Yeah, I was going to say, like, there's no question on flip phone, right?

That genie is out of the bottle, yeah. Yes, yeah, yeah, for sure. Another surprising one. This term was originally a trademark for solid carbon dioxide. What? Colin, I got that one first. Dry ice? Dry ice.

Oh, really? Trademark. If you think about it, it's very clever. That is good branding. That is really good, actually. Dry ice. Yeah, yeah, I got to say. And it is branding.

It absolutely is because it's like, why do I need solid carbon dioxide? It's like, no. It's ice that doesn't get wet. I'm like, okay, sure. Unwet ice. Yep, yep. Next question, the Ampex Corporation used to have the trademark on this term, which is often heard immediately following the words, sex and lies. Karen.

Videotape? Video tape? Video tape. The famous late 80s film, Sex Lies and Videotape. I catch myself. I still say tape. Oh, I need to tape this. Oh, sure.

I mean record. Yeah, every now and then I still just kind of just slips right out. Yeah, and I was like, wait a minute. Okay, grandma, let's get you to bed. This fuel, this fuel, otherwise known as paraffin, was trademarked in 1854. Hmm. Oh, well, it's wax. Right.

Like liquid. The way you said fuel was so interesting. Yeah. This fuel. Well, I'm trying to get it out So you understand what word I'm saying Sometimes those words with a lot of vowels and things like that That you kind of get lost

Yeah, this fuel This is not rigging a bell I'm saying it with two syllables, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Fuel. I don't know either. It's a kerosene. Oh.

Cerosene. That sounds like a chemical term. Acetone. No, yeah. I'm sorry. Yeah. trademarked in 1854. Finally, the B.F. Goodrich Company once had a trademark on this revolutionary hookless

fastener that it used on its rubber boots. Karen. Velcro. No, not Velcro. Belcro, I believe, is still trademarked. Different kind of hookless fastener. The fastener itself, the device that maybe fastens or closes up a piece of. of footwear or possibly clothing had already been invented,

but they came up with the name for it, a trademark name for it. Colin? This is the zipper. It's the zipper. The zipper. Used to be a trademark of the BF Goodrich Company, which you think about as tires, but they did rubber boots. That's right. It was when they put one of these on their boots, they called it the zipper, which again, it's like,

does sound like a trademark name when you think about it, but it's become so common that we don't think about it as we're saying somebody's brand name. Yeah. Yeah. It originally was. It zips. Yeah. That's what it does.

It's fast. And it's an onomatopoeia a little bit, like a zip. But it's like you don't have to sit there, buckle all the little hook in the eye of all up your rubber boots, you know, anymore. You just zip it, like zip, you know. Okay, well, that does it for the first part of the quiz. I think we've had some surprising entries in there. and now it is time for part two.

Oh, I think you're going to blow our minds for this part. So generic sounding terms that are, in fact, still trademarked. So here we go. Sony holds the trademark for this device, often seen in sports stadiums, although it hasn't actually made any of them since 2001. Karen. Jumbotron. Jumbotron.

Jumbotron. I find it less interesting that it's that it's trademarked and more interested that it's trademarked by Sony and that they have not actually made an actual jumbo time in over 20 years. All right. Next question. Technically, you should call the generic version of this a stand-up personal watercraft. Oh. What? Colin?

That must be jet ski. Jet ski. No. Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wonder what the, how would you describe that in generic terms? Stand up personal watercraft, Gary. You're not using a trademark jet ski brand.

You have to say, I'm going to go out and do some stand-up personal watercrafting. Dude, did you see those guys out on the lake on those stand-up personal watercraft? They were just zipping around like, yeah. They're sick. Okay. Next, next one, Australians call this an icy pole. oh oh karen popsicle popsicle popsicle popsicle is not a generic term for in any ice pop that is a

the next time you're putting together ikea furniture make sure to ask your significant other where the hell the hex key is lest you accidentally genericize this trademark uh uh oh i okay is it's i mean it Is it Allen wrench? Because it's a name? It's Alan wrench. Allen wrench, yes. Created by the Allen Company, which is now owned by the Apex Tool Group.

They created the Allen wrench, genericized Turr Media, Hex. Which is crazy when you think about it. Because before they invented that wrench, nobody could put those screws in. So it's a good thing that they came up with that. They just can't call it Allen. They don't have a patent on it anymore. They don't have a patent on, because patents expire. You can make one, but you can't call it an Allen record.

Weird. Okay. X-K. Yes. All right. This term, going over to British English and also, I guess, Australian, this term for a ballpoint pen is used as a generic term in British English, even though it remains a registered trademark of Bick. Oh. Oh, no.

Colin? Is it Stillo? It's not stilo. This is the, if you had a ballpoint pen and you're like, give me a, you know, you don't say give me a ballpoint pen if you're in England and you don't say give me a B-C either. This is a good one to know. It is a bureau. Oh. B-R-O.

Hand me that B-I-R-O. It's the last name of the inventor of the ballpoint pen. Oh. Arthur Sully, Biro. No, Lazzlo Biro. Um, another question. All right, real trivia. Properly, this is a footbag.

Oh, footbag. Okay. Colin. Hackysack. Hacky sack. Oh, my gosh. A hacky sack. I was like, sock.

I was going to go away. I've been saying my whole life. I kind of wrote it that way with no hints because. You had to think about what a footbag with no context. Yeah, it's like a footbag. Yeah, sorry. Very good. No, a hacky sack.

Haggysack. All right. This is one from a previous Good Job Brain's entire segment, but don't genericize the name of this packing material unless you want to incur the legal wrath of the sealed air corporation. Karen. Bubble wrap. Bubble wrap. I like the way people get around it. bubble pack or packing bubbles yeah you can do all of that but you can't say bubble wrap um okay

infant body suit oh oh oh oh I just learned this one Karen one Z yes really oh any S Ie a one Z which everybody calls yeah yeah single piece baby clothing right trademarked brand name of Gerber I just call it a baby bag So, you know Well, the good Then good Then you're in Then we're in the legal clear here

Good job, Brian Gerber's not going to come after us Like for some of this stuff like hacky sack I'm like okay yeah sure Sounds like what see? Like oh my gosh That's a trademark and they go after people So yeah

That's part of your only defense against You're losing these right Is you have to demonstrate that you are going after people using it Like if you don't go after them then they can just go and say, hey, you know, they haven't been defending it. They haven't been, right. Baby bag's not bad. Baby bag is good.

Yep, yep. Finally, it's the last question in this rollicking trademark quiz. Finally, my doctor was a real stickler for not genericizing trademark. So I was forced to explain to him that I had stuck my hand to my face with cyano acrylic adhesive. That's super glue. super glue but but don't people call it crazy glue which crazy glue is also

that's another brand right what are you supposed to call I think they I don't know I think I think everybody there is no generic name for it so everybody has to come up with their own name super super and crazy are like definitely the best ones

like super crazy glue then it's like ah what else is yeah irreverent glue My daughter, she had been asking for a new hula hoop because she had an old one that had gotten totally munched. We went to the shop and I was telling my wife, I was like, oh, you know, I hope to have hula hoop brand, you know. And she's like, what do you mean? It was like, oh, well, it's like only, only WAMO can sell hula hoop waist circling hoops or whatever, you know, the name would be. Yeah, even though everybody on this planet calls it a hula hoop.

Just yesterday we were at like a party supply shop getting some stuff for Halloween. And they had a bunch of stuff like toys and things on the wall. I was like, oh, look, look, look. I went over and it's a hip hoop because it was not WAMO brand waste and circling toy. It was the hip hoop brand. All right. So it's my turn. Let's take a trip back.

I will be here playing my quiz segment. that was from our live Sporkel con panel in front of a live studio audience. How do I describe it? It truly is a celebration of life. Let's have a listen. So something happened just a few weeks ago to me. I gave birth to a baby. Pretty recently, now I am a mom of two,

and I'm reliving those newborn days, which, yay, fun. So we hear a good job, Brain. Obviously, we love learning and talking about animal secretions. Animals, maybe I do. Animal secretions, yes, yes. Well, of course, we have our classic beaver cisterium. We have the bombardier beetle with exploding butt, the parrotfish that covers itself and its snot.

It's weird, it's gross, it's interesting. So taking inspiration from those two things. Here I have a quiz about unusual lactation in the animal kingdom. Yay, a quiz you didn't think you needed. Before you get into it, I was at the California Academy of Sciences last weekend. And I had to take a picture of this because it cracked me up. It was the California sea cucumber. Sea cucumbers are gutless in the face of danger.

They self-evicerate when attacked. this is my favorite part, ejecting their internal organs as a distraction. Well, they're like a tube. I would be distracted. Yeah, gross, I don't want to do that. Well, okay, so yes, my quiz, I'm titling it. I just had a baby, so I'm going to milk it for all its worth. So I prepared some fascinating questions about,

Lactation, milk, feeding. So Colin and Chris, dads of the year, you guys are dads. You guys might know you need to buzz in with your buzzer's classic style. So I'll cut to the chase here. I know what you're all wondering. Karen, what animal has the most nipples? Cut to the chase. I'll tell, and how many?

How many could there be? Centipede. It's a mammal. MAML, mammal, mammal. So, clocking in at 36 nipples. Ooh. It is the T-E-N-R-E-C, T-E-N-R-E-C, T-R-E-C. Yes, good job, Ten-R-R-R-E-C for having so many nipples.

What is it? So it kind of looks like a less chubby hedgehog. Oh. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So here's my question. Ten-Ricks are primarily found in what island nation? that's more famous for their lemurs. Go for it.

Is that Madagascar? Yes! Oh, my God. Well, because of the movie, Madagascar, King Julian. But yes, they actually, they're really famous for their lemurs. I had another clue, which is the fourth largest island in the world by Landmass. It is Madagascar. So now let's go on the other end of the spectrum. We got Tenrix with sporting 36 nipples.

We have an animal group that actually has not. milk but has zero nipples. So what egg laying animal group has no nipples? Egg laying. They still produce milk and like the milk just kind of comes out of their skin. They're mammals. They're mammals.

Eggling animal. Oh. Mammals. What is that group called? Oh, the group. Ooh. We got. We're going to ask the audience. Cole, you have been like raising your hand that I think from the beginning. Just yell it out so we can get on mic. Monotreams, monotreams, echidna, platyps.

I was going to guess platypus as an animal, but I would, I did not remember. Animal group, mono trees. I know that because of Phineas and fur, but I... Yeah, so milk just, like, comes out. Huh. And, like, the baby's just, like, lick it off? Yeah, yeah, yeah. No nipples, no nipples at all.

Okay, speaking of nipples, which actor was the first to wear the infamous Batman suit with the external rubber nipples? Which actor was it? Colin. Is that George Clooney? Incorrect. Is it Val Kilmer? It's Val Kilmer.

Val Iceman himself. I like that you specified they were external nipples as opposed to internal nipples. Visible. People made a big deal. Jill Schumacher, the director of Batman Forever, which was the third of the Batman series, really wanted the nipples, thought it was cool. And then he actually was like, yeah, maybe I was wrong. After everybody complained about it.

I picture him George Lucas-style going through the sketches, nipples, nipples, drawing on all the concept art needs more nipples. Okay, so even though technically only mammals produce milk, there are non-mammals out there that secrete milk-like substances to feed their babies. Pigeons, pigeons make pigeon milk. Isn't that gross, isn't that wonderful? So some birds, they have something called, it's called crop milk. crop milk so birds have this this pouch on their throat called the crop sometimes they like store food

in there it's like a snack pocket but but when when they're when they're feeding their babies it will secrete a nutritious substance so that the mom bird can feed the baby birds crop milk pigeon milk i want to taste the pigeon you can buy it you can buy that pet stores it's like it's like so if you have baby birds you can feed it to them um but uh flamingos also secrete crop milk tell me what is unusual about about flamingo crop I mean Chris it's a strawberry flake no it's pink it's bright pink bright red bright pink for the same reason is that because it's all because the pinkness in the flamingos right is because there's shramps yeah yeah they're diet not because they're not like colored that way yeah yeah yeah come out in the milk too you might see it in the wild and you think the flamingo's bleeding it's like

bright red so let's get mistaken for blood and they're like oh my god why are these flamingos bleeding, it's actually crop milk. All right. Another animal that also produces milk, a non-mammal that produces milk-like substances, is the jumping spider. The jumping spider also feed their baby with some nutritious substance. Can you imagine drinking

spider milk? So on the topic of spiders, what legendary wrestler started out with the character called the spider? Oh, man. Legendary wrestler. Well, it's a bit.

It is, but it's like so many of these guys before they found that gimmick that worked. It's like they probably did like a million other crazy things and whatever. First character. I mean, how about Hulk Hogan? Incorrect. No, no, no, no, no. Leaping Lanny Potho. No, it is.

Macho man, Randy Savage. Wow. You had the right family. The spider. Yeah, all right. Okay. Yeah. So, the most expensive milk, actual milk.

actual milk, the expensive milk that you can commercially buy, is produced by what mammal? Like for human consumption, you can buy this? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's produced by what mammal? I have a hint. Okay. It's also one of Gordon Ramsey's favorite insults. Oh, the donkey?

Yes. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Donkey milk is the most expensive milk that you can buy. It is $130 per liter, which is $60. $22 per pint. Wow. What's so good about it? It's nutritious, very nutritious, and it's rare.

Donkey milk cheese is the most expensive cheese you can buy as well. Well, sure. Yeah, well, naturally. Yeah, it would follow. All the finest restaurants have donkey milk cheese. No, they see, they don't. Now if you see it, you know, it's rare. All right.

So another animal question. What animal's mammary gland is five feet long? Oh, Chris. The killer whale, the orca. No, bigger, go bigger. Blue whale. Blue whale. Blue whale.

The gland itself weighs as much as a baby elephant. And then how much milk can a blue whale make in a day, 200 liters? That is a bathtub. A bathtub of whale milk. And the milk is like cheese, curdley and beautiful. loopy and buttery. So, yeah, imagine taking a bath and die. All right, all right.

I'll close it out. I got one last question to haunt everybody's minds. We've explored the animal kingdom, but let's end with us, humans, the most dangerous animal of all. The most dangerous game. Besides the chest, what other part of the human body is capable of expressing milk? Your ducts. Incorrect, not a bad guess. Hmm.

Oh, uh, the navel. That's not a bad guess either. It is the armpits. The arm. Oh, I guess that is. It is closer. The milk ducks run like a, like a V. Yeah.

So, so some people, I'm not saying all moms if they're, if they're nursing or breastfeeding, their milk glands in their armpits. It will swell up and sometimes milk will come out. How do I know this? We'll leave it at that. The end. The end. Thank you, everybody.

We hear a good job, brain love film series shows up in trivia a lot in pub trivia. The Pirates of the Caribbean series, which movie is what, who's in which one, the Lord of the Rings saga, plus the Hobbit. Which one has more movies if you add them all up. Yeah. Which one has had more Orlando Bloom appearances. So here I have another film series that I think we. should, we should always be prepared and know. And it is the Airbud series. Important. Yes. Very important. Oh, my goodness. Let's go through the Airbud series with

the first movie Air Bud, where Air Bud, the dog, the Golden Retriever, plays basketball. Apparently, this dog has uncanny ability and affinity for multiple sports. So Airbud 1. Now I'm going down the series. Airbud, colon, golden, receiver. It's a good, it's a good title. It's a good title. You want to turn this into an impromptu quiz? Is that football?

Yes, that is American football. Yes, impromptu. It's a pretty easy quiz. Right. Third in this, in this legendary series, Airbud, world pup. Soccer, of course, yes. Association football. Fourth in the series, Airbud, seventh inning, fetch.

he's even good at baseball he's even good at baseball you know like once they hit the third one they're like oh this is great we just it's just each one's a new sport just start start working on the pun we'll write the script and the official airbud series ends with this last film airbud spikes back is spikes back is that volleyball or what is he volleyball oh my gosh i thought they might go for hockey maybe or yeah. They actually can't do an Airbud hockey movie because there is a rule that says that dogs can't play hockey. NHL had the foresight. They thought that one through. I've only watched the first movie and I read the plot summaries for all of these other movies.

Turns out this town has very loosey-goosey sports association rules. Really, this dog could play all of these sports. So that's the Air Bud series. Then, of course, Air Bud, buddy, the dog, had a bunch of puppies. And so then there's the Buddies series where it's the puppies. And the puppies go to space. They do, you know. I have never heard of this expansion.

Space Buddies. The Air Bud universe. I saw that and I was like, oh, we should know this. No, that's good. Because like, like, if you had to list out for me, I mean, as I just said, I would have guessed hockey for that last one, right? I mean, if I didn't have the pun title. Now, does he get into fights?

Does he Airbud, like, stand up and just start punching the other guys in his face with his four paws? Does he have four skates or does he have two skates? Like, how does that he's got to, he's got to hold the stick. Right. Maybe just that's why they didn't do hockey. It's just like they never got to pass. Ice skates on him. Like, no, forget it.

Forget it. What else could we do? All right. Back to all quiz. Colin, you got a quiz for us? I do. I do. I'm excited.

to announce the return to the show of Brad Pitt or Lasers. Thank you for the sound effects, as always, Karen. Brad Pitt or Lasers quiz, quiz. I love to create for you guys. The format of this quiz, if you do not remember any of the previous, I don't know, three, four installments, something like that over the last 10 plus years. I will give you a pair of things. It might be people, might be an invention, might be a food,

might be a company. And your job is just to tell me which of these two came first, which is older. And so in the case of a person, this would be the date they were born. If this was the case of an invention, it would be when it was invented or announced to the public. In the case of a piece of media, it would be when it was released. So for a movie would be release date or a video game release date, that kind of thing. So, all right, this will be a write-down quiz. which came first.

We've got two juggernauts here of entertainment. The television series, Grey's Anatomy. Oh, gosh. Or the video game, World of Warcraft, both extremely popular, extremely long-running, the TV show, Grey's Anatomy by mega-producer, Shonda Rhimes, and Karen, I know you have devoted many, many, many hours of your life to World of Warcraft. All right, I'm ready.

All right, answers up. Karen says, wow. Chris says, wow. You are both correct. You are both correct. We're talking a matter of months. Whoa. Really?

Yes. Yes. So World of Warcraft, November 2004 release. And Grey's Anatomy, debut. March 2005. This show, it's absolutely just incredible, the longevity of that show.

I remember World of Warcraft was pre-Yutube. Oh, yeah. For me to watch clips of the game, I had to go to, like, e-bombs world, or, you know, like, moving right along. Certainly a good candidate for Internet's favorite boyfriend,

and actor Ryan Gosling, which came first, actor Ryan Gosling or chicken McNuggets. Wow. Ryan Gosling. All right, okay. Or chicken McNuggets. How old is Ryan Gosling? He's like my age. And we've all had chicken McNuggets.

You know, honestly, I don't know if I am older or younger than chicken McNuggets. Like, it's always been something that we've had, but it's like, what if they invented chicken McNuggets in 1981? you know what I mean or in late 19 I don't know or is it like one franchise did chicken nuggets and then right right yeah I'm gonna go yeah I'm gonna go with yeah same thing I'm gonna go with Ryan you have both put Ryan Gosling Ryan Gosling was born November 12th 1980 oh older than me chicken McNuggets younger than me chicken McNuggets were introduced first in select markets but were introduced Chris

You actually nailed it, 1981. Oh, I'm older than Ryan Gosling and chicken McNuggets. Now I'm going to crumble into dust. Bye. Yeah, they came up with the concept in the late 70s, it sounds like. Select markets in McDonald's, of course, if the Mick did not tip you off. Yeah, select markets in 1981. It was such a hit.

It was a smash hit. huge hit. They could not keep up with the supply. And so the McDonald's like corporation, they basically had to kind of hold on the wide rollout until they could get their supply chain sort of, uh, sorted out. And they did. Yeah. So, uh, released available worldwide, uh, by 1983 is what I read. So. Oh, okay. Yeah. By any measure, Ryan Gosling, older than chicken McNuggets. Tied up here, two points each, moving right along. Chris, I had to laugh when this appeared on your quiz. But I think this question is still valid. Which came first, the zipper or the teddy bear to legendary American innovations inventions? The zipper and the teddy bear. Chris may have had a little

bit of an advantage on this one on the zipper. I know. Now I wish I paid more attention when he said the year. I don't think he did say the year at least. All right. Answers up. I did not say the year. Answers up. All right. You have both written. Teddy Bear. If you know your presidential history, you can kind of pin it down somewhat. Right. It is in fact, of course, as you've probably heard many places, named after a story involving President Theodore Roosevelt, Teddy Roosevelt. That term of the teddy bear as a bear for sale, stuffed animal dates to 1902. Now I'm reconsidering. It was a bear hunting trip that he took in November 1902 and the media

covered it and toy sellers quickly, quickly capitalized. The zipper. So the bear is supposed to represent the bear that he hunted? So the story which is true, there's no reason not to believe it's true. The story is that he was on a bear hunting trip and they

were with dogs and they had basically chased a bear down and had it captive and it was like, okay, Mr. President, here's this bear for you to kill. And he basically said, this is not sporting in any way. I'm not going to shoot this tied-up

little young bear. So he didn't. And so the story then became the coverage of Roosevelt's humanity, even being a hunter. Right. Well, I mean, the bear did actually end up being put out of his misery. But Teddy Roosevelt did not shoot this bear when given the

opportunity. So there was a very famous political cartoon after this. And then a toy seller by the name of Morris Mickham saw this. And it was already selling animals. It was inspired to create a little stuffed bear, put it in his candy shop window in Brooklyn with a sign Teddy's Bear. And so that's generally accepted to be the origin of the term teddy bear. Teddy's bear.

Yeah, 1902. But what's our answer here? So the zipper invented by Whitcomb Judson in 1892. So close. So the zipper outdates the teddy bear by 10 years. And I was going to, I started looking this up because I was going to really fact-check this because, as we know, zipper was a trademark term. Yes.

The term did not actually get introduced until 1923. Exactly. So then my question was, were there stuffed generic bears prior to the invention? the invention of that type of hookless fastener. And the answer is no. The answer is, for all intents' purposes, no. The teddy bear and the idea of the stuffed toy bear were simultaneous invention in 1902. So you are right, but I fact-checked it.

Yes, thank you. I appreciate the real-time fact-checking. And I should note that the zipper, Whitcomb Judson's invention. His is the thing that is most close to a modern recognizable Zippler. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in either case.

What did he call it? That's a good question. Oh, what did he call it? Yeah. He called it already. He called it because I have the thing open. He called it a shoe fastening. Ah, right.

I really limits you, too. I mean, what if I want to close my jacket? Put it on my jacket. Yeah. Which came first? Which came first? Drake, by which I mean, Aubrey, Drake, Graham, rapper, actor, multimedia personality, Drake, OVO, or Robocop.

Drake or the Paul Verhoeven movie Robocop. It's so hard to tell how people, how old people are these days. What's your, which is older, Drake, Drake or Robocop? Answers up, you have both, you guys are in sync today. You guys have both written Robocop, unfortunately. Oh, gosh. Aubrey, Drake, Graham, is older than Robocop. I was a little surprised.

He's a little bit older than I thought. Drake was born October 1986, and Robocop was released in July 1987. Oh, man, I thought Robocop was earlier. Same thing. That is later than I thought it was. Okay, cool. All right. The 16th highest grossing film that year at the U.S. box office, just behind

La Bamba You guys might have to just go with your guts on this one Which came first Scotch tape Or the NFL You just said scotch tape In a Christopher walking kind of flavor Scotch tape

Just tell me Which one is older The Foo Fighters Scotch tape or sorry what's the second thing The NFL The National Football League We are right in the thick of NFL season. All right, Chris.

Chris is the answer. NFL. Oh, here we go. We got a separation. Karen says Scotch tape. Chris says NFL. Scotch tape was invented in 1930 by an employee of the 3M Corporation. The NFL, depending on how you want to count it, dates to either 1920 or 1922.

Yes, yes. The original organization, which was the American Professional Football Conference, dates to 1920. They renamed themselves in 1920. Only two of the very original teams are still extant, or, you know, descendants of the two original teams, yeah. Which are what? I guess this is good trivia in itself, right. So of the original teams, which included, these are kind of fun, always the old-timey team names, the original teams, 1920, were the Hammond pros.

The Muncie Flyers, both from Indiana, the Rochester Jeffersons from New York, the Rock Island Independence, the Decatur Staley's, and the Racine Cardinals from Illinois. Today, only remaining are the Decatur Stalys, which morphed over time into the Chicago Bears. And the Arizona Cardinals, which were the Chicago Cardinals, Racine, Chicago Cardinals. Yeah. All right. We'll transition from there with the NFL question to a comparison with the most electrifying personality in and around the NFL these days. I'm talking, of course, about Taylor Swift, which came first?

That's good. Taylor Swift. Uh-huh. Or Dippin' dots. Diffin' dots candy. Oh, man. Oh, man. I did a segment on Dippin' dots, too.

Oh, my gosh. Dippin dots, ice cream. Dippin dots. Sorry. Yes, Diff and Dots, ice cream snack. If you know even a little bit about Taylor Swift, you probably know what year she was born. I don't know that. Her album.

And I believe Karen, at one point on a previous episode, you told us a little bit about the history of how Diff and Dots were invented. And then the technology of refrigeration or freezing went on to helping with a COVID vaccine storage. It did. That's right. It's extremely cold. It's so cold. Oh, I see, I see. Now, if you're going to, if you tell me that Taylor Swift invented Dippin' Dots when she was a baby.

I believe it. Put it past her. Answers up. All right. Again, we're getting some divergent. Chris says Dippendots. Karen says Taylor. Taylor Swift was born December 13th, of course.

1989. 1989. You got it. Dippend dots were introduced in 1988. Oh, my gosh. Are just. just a little bit older than Taylor Swift. Not that long after the introduction of chicken McNuggets.

Yeah, I mean, the 80s was, man. How far we came in terms of like individually separated out round, you know, unorthodox food items in just seven years. Yeah. And Karen, I will give you credit for this. I think you shared with us before that the dip and dots technology, the person who invented it, Kurt Jones, he was actually trying to invent and improve. And Kurt Dots, yeah, Kurt Sully Dots, he was looking for an improved way to deliver animal feed. So it was like, yeah, I mean, which I guess in a way he did. We're animals.

Yeah, we need to eat. Which is older? DVDs or Simone Biles, the greatest gymnast. I know, okay, I'd do some math. know how old she is. I don't even feel like there's a question, but okay. All right. Chris feels very confident to answer.

Karen has written down DVD. Chris has written down DVD. We had DVDs in the late 90s. I don't think we had Simone Biles in the 90s. Well, Simone Biles, I think, is 26. So that makes her born around 1997. Yeah. Karen, wow.

So I really like this one. So you guys are both technically correct, which is the best kind of correct. You're both technically correct. DVDs were commercially released in Japan in November 1996. Simone Biles was born March 14th, 1997. And then the first U.S. DVD release, notably was Twister in March 24th, 1997. DVDs, yes, older than Simone Biles. Okay. Last question. Which came first? The Apple iPad, the iPad, Gen 1, or South Sudan, the country.

Wow. I know. I don't know. Apple iPad. Okay. Okay. I know South Sudan is very new. It is the newest, in fact, the most recent sovereign state. Colin and I actually worked on an iPad one launch title. we did. Yes. So when did we work together? When was that a lifetime ago? As did Dana. I think iPad was 2010. So iPad was a few years after. I believe it was 2010. Answer's up. I'm going to say iPad because that's funnier. All right. Because I know the year for South Sudan. You have both written down iPad. You are correct. 2010. You're right, Chris. January 2010 for the first iPad.

South Sudan gained independence from Sudan in 2011. Yes. So the iPad. is older than South Sudan. Someone somewhere in South Sudan, I have faith, has a Gen 1 iPad, and they can say this iPad is older than my country, yes. Wow. Victory to Chris there, but you both did very well,

and we're right in lockstep there for a while. So, yeah, I have to say, guys, I have a lot of fun putting these quizzes together. I'm tempted to rename this format, Ryan Goslinger Chicken McNuggets. Gosling or Nugs? Gosling or Nugs. Yeah, but no, I think we'll keep it as Brad Pitt or lasers.

All right, well done. Small goose versus small chicken. Yeah. History never says goodbye. It just says, see you later. Edward Galliano was right when he said that. Events keep happening over and over again in some form. And that's the reason I produced the podcast.

My History can beat up your policy. politics. What is it? We take stories of history and apply them to the events of today to help you perhaps understand them better. We are also part of Airwave Media Network. I've been doing the program since 2006. That's a long time and the show has a long name. My history can beat up your politics. Find me wherever you get podcasts. So our trip to, you know, SporkelCon was not without its snags. We definitely had an issue pop up during our panel. And so we will just, you know what?

We'll just play that for you now so you can see what went wrong and how the audience helped us solve it. So has anybody gotten the chance to do like sightseeing while you're here? Because we're here in Washington, D.C. Karen and I went out when we saw the Lincoln Memorial. and we saw the Washington Monument. And by saw, I mean, from the window of the car as we were, you know, driving up here. And that's the sightseeing that I did. And, no, so I was just thinking like, oh, my God, I'm coming.

I haven't been to D.C. in a while, you know, but it's like, I'm just spending the whole thing in this hotel. And I'm thinking, oh, maybe, you know, maybe some of you guys, maybe some of our audience members are sort of feeling the same kind of way. Like, you know, we want to get out and see some stuff. So what I did was we asked a SporkelCon to, just as a special treat for everybody here, we went ahead and set up a live satellite feed of the Lincoln Memorial. So we can do a little bit of sightseeing like while we're here. We got the feed up, the feet's up now. Oh, majestic.

We've been just, we've been going for like a half an hour. So I thought we'd all just sit in silence for like, you know, five-ish minutes or so. Beautiful. Oh, yeah. Inspiring. We'll just, we'll just watch this for a little while. And I assume that, um, nothing's going to happen. I hope you're all, yeah, I hope you're all enjoying it.

Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. What is that? Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, you guys. Was that a helicopter? Carmen San Mateo has written in an orange helicopter.

How could you applaud this evil person, stole the Lincoln? I had no idea. It just came right off the seat. like that. It's like a big Lego. It's just a big Lego. They just pop them right on there. It's not secure. Well, oh my gosh, you guys. It seems like international thief Carmen San Mateo has made off with the Lincoln from the Lincoln Memorial. And I think that we are all going to need you guys here in the audience to help us get it back and save Washington, D.C. Can you do it? Sporkelton.

Probably. So there used to be a show on TV that had somebody with a sort of a similar name to Carmen San Mateo. Carmen San Mateo is the Northern California version of that, if that gropes you out a little bit. So we don't want to get in any kind of legal trouble. So we want to be very clear this is a distinct villain that we have to go after right now. And so what we're going to do is very similar to what you may have seen on some other the Southern California version show that played in the 1990s and had a rockapella. But I have some questions that I'm going to ask everybody. You've got your AB paddles still. And I'm actually going to ask these questions to Karen and Colin. They're going to each, I'm going to each ask them for their answers, which we have not prepped ahead of time.

Wink. And then you guys are going to decide if you think that A, Colin is correct or B, Karen is correct. And then as we get the questions right, we will hopefully, A, find the loot, the loose Lincoln statue piece. Oh, it is loose. It's loose. Yo, you got me loose Lincoln's? Get the search warrant, which is important, so the police can legally acquire the warrant

and go search through Carmen's Florida Golf Club and find the America's stolen treasure. And then we can catch Carmen San Mateo herself and get her back into jail. You may remember that she slipped through our grasp the last time we encountered her on the podcast. In space. In space.

And so, yeah, let's go. Let's do this. So here we go. Where in the world? Where in the heck? Who in the heck is? Carmen Sam Mateo, question number one audience. Carmen was seen fleeing.

In my earpiece, Carmen was seen fleeing to a city in Brazil that happens to be Washington, D.C.'s sister city. All right. Colin, what do you think? It's Sao Paulo. Okay. Karen, what do you think? Brasilia. Hmm, is it, did Carmen go to A, Sao Paulo, or did she go to B, Brasilia?

Brasilia. I see some A's. I see some B's, but I see mostly B's. You guys are correct. It is B. Brasilia. Brasilia is the capital of Brazil. Washington C is the capital of the United States of America last time I checked, and they only, Washington, D.C. generally only partners up with other world capitals for the sister city stuff.

So we got Lincoln back. We got the loop, but now we've got to get Carmen into jail. So let's keep going. Carmen has eluded our grasp once more. Our source on the ground says that she is headed to the South American country with the largest population of alpacas. Did Carmen head to Bolivia or Peru? Peru.

Bolivia. Okay. Colin says Peru, A. Karen says Bolivia. B, looks like in the room the A's have it. And you are right. Yes, it is Peru. Great job.

Approximately 88% of the world's alpacas live in Peru. So knowing this, we've all made it to, we're now all in Peru. We walked up to a random alpaca, and we asked them if they had seen Carmen San Mateo. And they said that they had indeed seen Carmen San Mateo in a local restaurant eating Lomo Saltado. Now, what sort of a dish is this? Colin? It's a stir fry. Karen?

It's a soup. Do you agree with Colin or with Karen? A for it's a stir fry or B for it's a soup. I'm seeing slightly more B's than A's. You all trust Karen and you're all wrong. No. Lobo Salato is a stir-fried dish of like slices of steak and French fries and other stuff. Yes.

The saltado comes from the same like fruit as the French sauteed. Saltato, sautate. Not salt. Salt. All right, folks, I'm sorry. So we had the warrant, but we still have not caught Carmen Cemetery. We're still after her. Carmen ran out the back door of the restaurant before we could apprehend her.

And it looks like she has stashed the Lincoln statue in the South American country with the longest coastline. That's Brazil. Chile. Okay. Karen B. says that Chile has the longest coastline. You guys really trust me. A says that Brazil has the longest coastline.

The South American country with the longest coastline is Brazil. And we had a lot of bees. So unfortunately, Harmon is still on loose. So, yeah, Brazil's, so of course, everybody thinks of the Chile coastline, and it's six, four hundred thirty-five kilometers. Brazil's coastline is really big and goes around in 7,941. So that is actually has a longer.

coastline, then Chile. All right, well, we have only one more question left. We can apprehend Carmen. It looks like Carmen is trying to hide President Lincoln in plain sight, right next to the tallest statue of Jesus in South America. What city is she headed to? The tallest statue of Jesus in South America. Colin? I feel like I read once that that is in Rio Grande de Soule. Rio Grande do Sul, interesting. Karen? Rio de Janeiro. Okay. So Karen says that the tallest statue of Jesus is in Rio de Janeiro. Colin says that the tallest statue of Jesus is in Rio Grande del Seul. Things seem pretty evenly split here.

I don't feel like counting, so I'm just going to say that the people who put up A, Rio Grande do Sul, are in fact correct. And I think there's most of you there. So everybody knows about Christ the Redeemer. Yeah, T-posing. right out there in Rio de Janeiro, but there is actually a taller statue of Jesus called Christ the Protector, which is five meters taller than the other.

They're in a Jesus off out there. Then Christ the Redeaster. Christ the Protector is actually taller. But that's great because enough people either knew that or figured I was doing a trick question, and we got Carmen Samantirman. We got her. astounding we did it
