So this week, it's hot diggedy dog. I will start. us off with a grab bag trivia quiz. I have called Dog and Dog Adjacent Trivia. These were questions either directly or loosely involving dogs. I think we will have a good time here. Let's do this one as a write-down quiz.

We'll start us off here with a softball, hopefully, just to get you guys juices flow in here. Okay. in Greek mythology What is the name Of the three-headed dog Who guarded the entrance To the underworld Did I spell?

Oh, I will be flexible with the spelling Yeah, if I just tell what you're going for That's all right. Okay, answers up, here we go Hopefully a softball You have both answered You have both answered correctly Which is Cerberus, yes

Oh, I spelled it wrong Oh, it's Cerberus, not Cerberus, not cerebus. That is a unrelated comic book. Yes, there's an unrelated comic book. Cerebral. I'm thinking of Ceres.

Chris, how do you spell it? Cerberus. Cerberus. Yeah. Yes. Or curberus. I'll accept it. Okay.

What is rapper slash actor slash pitch man Snoop Dog's real name? No, I knew it before. What is his? given name we get these at trivia a lot the stage name match up to real name got to file this one away if it's not in there already i don't know one part of the name okay write down what you know

maybe i will award partial points here okay okay okay oh what is his last name okay okay answers up chris has it correct with calvin brodus you got it and karen i'll give you the half point for Calvin. That's right. Karen wrote Calvin. Yes, Calvin Brodus Jr. In fact, Calvin Brodice Jr. In that point, you come in handy later. You don't know. All right. What Hollywood A-lister plays bass in the band Dog Star? Oh. Dog Star. Nineties. Very 90s. Although I heard that they, you know, occasionally will reform and play

some gigs here. Okay. I don't know. Chris has written Bruce Willis, sorry, good guess. The current lineup, or the most recent lineup of Band Dogstar, Brett Domrose, Robert Mailhouse, and on-base, Keanu Reeves. Karen has it correctly, yes, Keanu Reeves. Though Bruce Willis is a good guess, Chris. I know he's a musician, so, yeah, yeah, Alaska's famous Iditarod, Sled Dog Race. Karen, are you aware that right? now, today, the Iditarod is ongoing. We are in the middle of the 2024 Iditarod. I was looking up

the standings. I was reading up a little bit about the various mushers, mushing away. They're all like part of a dynasty. You know, they're like multiple families that just like breed and have this like dynasty of mushers and dogs. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I was I was perusing the list of all-time winners of the Iditarod and almost. Almost all the winners are from Alaska. All right. The famous Iditarod sled dog race, if you're not familiar, you are a musher. You've got a team of dogs, 12 to 14 dogs somewhere in there, and you are covering ground.

You are going from Anchorage to Nome. How long? Oh. We'll do closest to how long is the Iditarod sled dog race in Miles? How... I have no concept. How much ground do they cover? I okay okay okay okay okay maybe I'll think of like marathons like how many marathons is it

they're on they're currently on day six it is a multi-day event oh yeah no you're camping along the way it is it is a multi multi-day event closest to the mark here gets it in miles Karen has written 175 a little bit low Chris is much closer Chris has written 8707 six. It is in fact a thousand miles. Wow. They round it. So I learned, I did not know this until this year researching it, there are two routes that they take. So the trail starts the same, ends the same, and then kind of in the middle of the trail, there's a northern route and a southern route. And they alternate on years. So even the number of years that you won. Not like choose your own. Yeah, no, not like, exactly. I was trying to math it out like, okay, they're probably going

like 20 miles an hour, you know what I mean? Not car speed, but not human speed. All day, if they're moving, they're racing for like eight hours a day. So it's like, you know, 100 miles a day over a week. Yeah, the northern route is 975 miles. The southern route is 998. So they just generally round it to a thousand, the 1,000 mile race. Well, good luck to all the dogs.

I hope they have fun. Hope they make fun along the way. Exactly. The Doxund, the Wiener Dog, the Doxie, many names for this dog, lovable dogs. They're very cute. They're very popular pets. It is no surprise a German name, Doxund. It sounds very German.

What does Doxund mean in German? Oh, what's the doc? What is the docks? What is the doc? Yes. You can probably guess. the hoon. You can probably guess the thing part. Yes. What is Doxund

in German? And maybe you think about, you know, what were they bred to do originally? Okay. I like my answer. So like... What is Doc? Okay. Answers up.

Karen has written Dig Dog, not to be confused with the popular video game from the 1980s. Chris has written Hunting Dog. Yeah, you guys are, you're sort of close, but no, Dachs in German is badger. They were bred. Oh, I knew that.

And I was like, ah. I should just trusted you get there. Yep, yeah. Badger hound. And they were, in fact, bred to scent and flush out and chase badgers. Yeah. Badgers. Badgers.

And then more broadly, other kind of burrowing animals. But, yeah, that's the origin of the name, Doxon. I learned that today in Germany, they don't call them dachshunds. They're mostly called either dockle or teckle. That's kind of just the name that they've settled on there. Yeah, dachshund. I feel like we say it because we've disassociated it from the meaning of it. For them, it's weird to just call a badger dog.

True. True. All right, we'll stick with recognizable dog breeds here. The Dalmatian. Maybe the most immediately recognizable dog breed, especially for children. The Dalmatian, famous from Disney movies and other places, the Dalmatians were first bred in Dalmatia, which is a historical region of what European country.

Oh, I knew this before. Yes, yes. Like many dog breeds named after the region where they were first bred or most famously bred. Dalmatian. It's like modern day, like country. Yes, I'm looking for a modern day, well, you know, I'm looking for the name of the country. This country is fairly popular with tourists. Travelers.

Okay. Okay. Answers up. Dalmatia, the historical region of what country? Chris has written Austria. Karen has nailed it. It is Croatia. Oh, wow.

Yes. You got it. Yeah. I have a question here about U.S. presidents. Maybe some presid dog trivia might help you out here If you remember your presid dog trivia from Chris's past quizzes This U.S. president was a noted lover of beagles In fact, his most famous beagles were him and her

He caused no small amount of controversy Those were the names? Yes, his most famous beagles were named him and her Yeah, very imaginative names There's a very famous photo of this president hoisting one of the dogs by their ears, which apparently he did every now and then. A lot of people got mad at him for it. Rightly so.

Please don't lift up your dog by their ears. All right. Karen, very confident in her answer. Chris still writing. Okay, answers up. Chris has written, Theodore Roosevelt. Good guess. The man had a lot of pets.

Great guess. Yes. Fantastic. Tell me he didn't have Beagle. Yeah. Karen, however, has written the correct answer, which is Lyndon B. Johnson. Yeah, LB.J.

I will say this. So, U.S. President is not my strong suit, but I have to attribute to a lot of my guessing president trivia correctly, thanks to the movie Lee Daniels, the butler. Oh. It goes through the span of a couple presidents. So at least now I know those presidents are in order and that there's a famous scene. Leaves Schreiber was the one who played LBJ in that movie where he's taking a poo and his beagles are all around him. That's a scene that kind of now etched in my memory. So, yes, if you want to bone up on your U.S. President trivia, watch the Buller. I haven't seen it, but it's funny that that is depicted in there. Because I have read more than once over the years that LBJ would have sort of impromptu meetings, like, just on the can.

Like, he would go to the bathroom. Yes. He would expect his advisors while he's doing his business. And that was the scene. It was like, he had those people handing him. him paper he's like pantsless like taking a poo on a toilet okay last question here possibility of two points the saint bernard big old lovable saint bernard maybe one of the maybe second most recognizable dogs um especially as we see them in cartoons often with the

little barrel of brandy uh around their nag is very cute right uh the saint bernard was in fact bred for rescue work for snowbound travelers and they took their name from a hospice named after St. Bernard of Menthon. And so the dogs that dwelt there and would help rescue snowbound travelers took on the name St. Bernard dogs. Oh. And so this this hospice was located on a mountain pass, the great St. Bernard Pass. For two points, what two countries is the great St. Bernard pass between. It is right on the border of these two countries. You can probably guess at least one,

if you know your St. Bernard iconography, at least. Two, okay, I know one country. What's the other one? St. Bernard's have been associated with the pass and the hospice for more. than 300 years. All right. Answers up. Chris has written Switzerland in France. Karen has written

Switzerland and France. You see one point. It is Switzerland and Italy. Switzerland and Italy. It is, yeah. St. Bernardo. Right. Okay. One point each. According to the monks who

run the hospice, the dogs did not, in fact, carry little barrels of brandy around their neck. Yeah, it's... Fake news. Well, you know, there's a very famous painting that basically, you know, we see this a lot in the show and like, you know, the imagery from a painting just kind of sticks and kind of becomes the story. Yeah.

There may have been at least one dog over the years that did have a little barrel of brandy, but it was not like that was part of their standard kit. All right. Well done. You guys know your dogs. You know your dog adjacent trivia. I think Karen ended up taking that quiz. Perhaps no surprise. Well done.

So you remember a couple of episodes ago, just last season, it was like a quick segment. It was kind of like, oh, hey, we should know this just in case if it pub trivia asks questions about airbud. We joke about airbud a lot, which is the Disney film where a real life dog, golden retriever, plays basketball very well in this town that has very loosey-goosey intramural sports, sports association rules. Just a quick review again, since this is episode about dogs, we have AirBud, which is a basketball film, airbud, colon, golden receiver, American football. Yeah, sure. Airbud, colon, world pup. Soccer. And then AirBud, seventh inning, fetch.

Fetch. Fetch. Uh, baseball. And then the fifth in this original sports series is AirBud, colon spikes back. about ball. And Colin, you made a joke or like, oh, I can't believe there's no hockey. There's no hockey airbud. Obviously, it'd be very hard to get ice skates on dog, or dog paws, you know, and have them flail. Well, I remember we were discussing, like, would he have four ice skates or two ice skates? You know, it's like, because he has to hold a stick. Yeah, right, right, right.

Unless he's like, you know, he's goalie, just kind of, it's like standing sideways maybe in the goal, yeah, using his body. Well, what if they did make a hockey movie, like an airbut hockey movie what would the punny title be and it's really hard because hockey terms are not very very obvious to people who don't know hockey right there's hockey there's there's puck maybe ice uh people aren't going to know what a deke is people aren't going to know what this is and it's like yeah yeah yeah exactly so I was like oh what can we name so I came up with two possible airbud hockey movie titles listeners please submit your own strikes or fancy so Okay, so number one, Airbud, colon, power play.

Oh, but it's spelled with a paw. Power play. Power play. Okay. Power play. So here's my other nomination is Airbud, colon, the legend of Gordy Howl. That's good. That's good.

That's good. It also, like, it kind of follows. It's a prequel. Yeah. No, it follows a really good pattern of the air, the legend of, yeah. Mm-hmm. And that would be like Buds, maybe like his grandfather or somebody, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Who he finds out was a hockey legend. It's like back to the future three. It takes place in the past. Anyways, thank you for humoring me. Oh, well, so speaking of movies, I just want to share one little note here from that last quiz I had here. I chotted this down. So you guys, speaking of St. Bernard's probably familiar with the 1992 comedy movie

Beethoven, which featured St. Bernard. Was that the first one? That was the first. Well, you mean the first, the first Beethoven movie? Yeah, yeah, yeah, 92, yeah. Whoa. 1992. Also had Beethoven's second, remember, right?

Very clever. That was the sequel. So, I mean, to state the obvious, you know, St. Bernard's are huge. They're giant, they're big dogs. I didn't realize they grow, they grow so fast. I read that, so in Beethoven's second, they had, like, four little St. Bernard puppies, okay? and they had to use over 100 St. Bernard puppies over the course of filming the movie.

Oh, of course of filming. It goes so fast. It's not like filming a movie with a human infant, you know, where like, ah, you know, two, three months of shooting, you know, whatever. No one's going to know. Yeah, there's four, so there were four puppies in the movie, four character puppies. Yeah, more than 100 St. Bernard's to keep them at the same size while they were shooting.

Right. Oh, my gosh. Like, switch them out almost like, yeah. Twice a week. Yeah, it's like you just, yeah, right, you're coming on this on Monday, you get your new batch of St. Bernard puppies. Anyway, yes, while I was listening to that, I realized the Airbud hockey title. Here we go. Airbud, Stanley Pup.

Oh, that's it. That's it. Thanks. Let's take a quick break, and we'll be right back. Why just survive back to school when you can thrive by creating a space that, does it all for you, no matter the size. Whether you're taking over your parents' basement or moving to campus, IKEA has hundreds of design ideas and affordable options to complement any budget.

After all, you're in your small space era. It's time to own it. Shop now at IKEA.ca. This is a true story. It happened right here in my town. One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and they never. came back

I'm the director of barbarian A lot of people die in a lot of weird ways We're not going to find it in the news Because the police covered everything all up On August days This is where the story really starts Weapons You're listening to

Good Job Brain Smooth puzzles, smart trivia. Good job, brain. All right, everybody, my turn, and we'll plot twist. My quiz that I've prepared is not about actual dogs. It's about hot dogs. Chris has graced us last. season with beef in USA regional beef sandwiches in America.

And we love like regional differences and like histories and and a miss and legends about how these dishes came to be. Here I have a cross-country jaunt of some of our countries, a very unusual regional hot dogs. There are a lot. So here's a quiz. Get out your Barnard Buzzers. Let's buzz in.

First question, here we go. How is the New Jersey dog, also known as the Ripper, cooked? Colin. It's fried. Yes, you're correct. It is deep fried called the Ripper, because when you fry it, it rips. I'm sure it's so delicious. But it doesn't look very appealing, and I think that's kind of

problem with foods that are deep fried without batter it just kind of looks sinewy and a big rip down the middle um yes the new jersey dog okay next question what kind of bread is the puka dog served in hmm how do you spell puka yeah yes the spelling is p u k a what kind of bread is the puka dog served in. Oh, interesting. Oh, sure. Chris? Is it served in a Hawaiian sweet role, like a King's Hawaiian sweet role?

It is good, cluing in Hawaiian specialty, the Pooka dog. Okay, here's a curveball for all you hot dog versus sandwiches or is a hot dog sandwich a theorist. Pooka dog, it's in a Hawaiian suite, like a King's Hawaiian, but it's like a long roll, right? You know, like a normal roll, no openings. Then they impale it with a hot rod. And so then that hollows the bread roll and toasts the whole. Then they push the dog inside of it.

So there's no sleeve opening. You know, like when you get a hot dog bun, you kind of open it up like a book. Yeah. There's no hinge. There's no, yeah, there's no hinge. It is literally a tube bread. Wow. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So it's all, oh, let me, let me read the description. So Pooka Dog, Hawaiian Sweet Bread, okay, and then they put a garlic lemon sauce. They also top it off with like a tropical relish, ends with a lily coy mustard, which is passion fruit mustard. So it's like a fruity, salty, billowy, hot toasted bread tube, the Pooka dog. All right, next question. What city's own style of hot dog? popularized the phrase dragged it through the garden

Chris Chicago Chicago Can you tell me Can you name me some of the toppings in a Chicago dog Sport peppers Like a pickle

The neon Rellish I think it's Chopped onions Like an entire hamburger A Bloody Mary a bean burrito and a slice of pizza well Chris you forgot tomato oh tomato it's a big meal it's a commitment yeah a lot of stuff all right next question in what state can you get a hot dog partially

made of caribou meat served alongside with Coca-Cola onions wow Chris again I mean I if it's not Alaska I'm shocked yeah it It is Alaska. Alaska. Yes, caribou's, same species as the reindeer. It is known as the reindeer dog. The meat, not completely reindeer meat, but there's some reindeer meat in it and served alongside of onions, but it's cooked and reduced cola.

That sounds interesting. I haven't heard of that. That sounds great, yeah. Yeah, that actually sounds awesome. All right. Next question. The New York system is the name, is a type. of hot dog, but it's actually not from New York.

In what state can you munch on a New York system and follow it up with a big gulp of coffee milk? Oh. Colin. That's got to be Rhode Island, right? Rhode Island, home of the New York system and home of the coffee milk. So the name is a bit of a marketing ploy. It's like they have this hot dog.

Oh, let's name it after New York because it's kind of New York is. known for hot dogs. All right. So on the hot dog, there's meat sauce, just meat sauce, mustard, chopped onions, and celery salt. And what makes the, the New York system kind of, you know, has the flare is when the person's making it, they line up multiple buns of what they call on the arm. So they line up buns along one arm. So they would dress the hot dogs with like eight hot dogs balanced on their arm and then they would put all the toppings on it. So it's called on the arm and that that's what makes an experience right in that little bit of hair yeah yeah and i know what you're thinking wow a meat sauce hot dog followed by coffee milk

ew actually according to the the onlyville new york system a hot dog place in providence rhode island and landmark the owner stated that coffee milk outsells other beverages eight to one People love drinking coffee milk after they had their hot dogs. It's like a match main heaven. All right. Next question. Also, let's keep it in New England. If you're in Maine and you're taking a look around,

you'll find that their regional hot dogs all have what color? Hmm. Chris. I mean, red? It is red, bright red, not like meat red, bright, bright, bright, almost neon. I've had hot dogs. I've had hot dogs in New England and certainly in Maine.

And I mean, you know, every time and again, you do get a red hot dog. I didn't know that was like the main thing. Their thing. Yeah. I mean, I know it's not blue. It's not green. You know. Is it a byproduct or is it just kind of food coloring?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It ate krill. Yeah. Yeah. No. It's not, it's farm-raised hot dog.

Also known. as red snappers because they're red and they have a very satisfying snap. Why are they red? Why are they still bright red? Just marketing. Okay. Just more. We got to look different. Okay. I mean, once you've been doing it for 50 years,

you can't just one day stop making them red. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Bright red. And people all like swear like, oh, this tastes better. Last question here in our regional hot dog quiz. My new home city, Seattle, has their own regional hot dog. The Seattle Dog is served with what breakfast condiment? Oh.

You heard of the Seattle Dog? I thought I had, but apparently I haven't. Okay, breakfast condiment. Okay. I mean, is it like grape jelly? No. Okay. I was struggling to even think of a single breakfast condiment.

Marmalade, honey? I don't know. No, yeah. Think of a spread. Type of spread. Oh, gosh. Oh, I know it. It's cream cheese.

Yes, it is cream. Now that you said that, I'm like, yes, hot dog with cream cheese. Yes, yes, yes. They slather cream cheese in the bun, and you have all the other stuff, your hot dog. I can see that. I can see that. Okay, yeah. Well, the story goes, many places claim that they started cream cheese and hot dogs, but there's one account where someone

worked at a at a bagel place during the day and also ran like a food cart at night he's like you know what everybody else is selling hot dogs what if i just also sold bagels and so he sold a bagel like using that bagel dough he had rules it kind of just became a thing he's like i don't want to be a hot dog person i'm gonna i'm gonna sell bagels but i'm gonna put a hot dog in it and people are like well so really it's a it's started out as a bagel dog in a bagel yeah yeah right Yes, yes. In a bagel, but not the normal bagel we think of. It's like using a Biali dough that's the bagel dough to make these rolls, like these sticks. And he's like, then they stuck the hot dog in there. But now people will just take a regular hot dog bun and put cream cheese on it in the hot dog. If you're going to experiment with like stuff like that, a late night drunk crowd is the perfect, is the perfect little sandbox to play in there. Yeah, because, yeah.

This sounds like something you'd get at a, like a Japanese bakery. or Paris baguette or something like that. Yeah. A dog inside of a bagel with cream cheese. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

And with ketchup on top just to... Yeah. Bring it all the other Seattle dog. Interesting. Regional thing. All right. Good job, everybody. Okay.

Hot diggedy dog. So I have written a quiz for you guys. It's a word play type quiz. And it is titled Dog Words and Cat Words. We're going to be talking about dogs and cats, and what I'm going to give you guys, I'm going to give you two definitions of words, okay? I'm going to give you one definition and then another definition. And the first definition, the word for that definition will contain the letters DOG in that order

consecutively. The second definition, the word will contain letters C-A-T in that order consecutively. I have tried to combine them so that the words are at least somewhat related. So, theoretically, hopefully there should be some interesting pairings of dog words and cat words. Let's try it. Here we go. So I'm going to give you two definitions. Okay.

One word has DOG in consecutive order. The next one has CAT in consecutive order. I would say this will be a buzz in. And then if you guys do have, you know, trouble coming up with them, maybe talk it out amongst yourselves. Okay. But, um, but, but let's start it out and let's try to keep it. Let's try to keep it nice and competitive.

It'll be a, a buzz in quiz. Okay, okay. Here we go. All right. Two word phrase. Uh, no, not a two word phrase. It's, it's two words that are probably somewhat at least related. I tried to get them to be related.

Two separate words. Yeah, okay. So here's, okay, so here's, here's the first one. Best is just jump in and try to do it. All right, all right. So two definitions. Show off by performing an Austin, ostentatious stunt or trick and a table condiment with a tangy flavor.

Oh, I know the second. Okay. Holland. Is that hot dog and cats up? Yes. That is hot dog to hot dog, one word, is to show off by performing an ostentatious stunt. And, of course, a table condiment of the tangy flavor is cats up.

Typically we say ketchup, but some people still say cats up. Very good, very good. Now you get it. Oh, I get it. Yeah, because it's ketchup and hot dog. Okay, yeah, yeah. Moving right along. Badly written poetry and improvised wordless singing.

Colin. Is that doggerel and scat or scatting? Doggerill and scat. Wow. Doggerl and scat. Very good. Now you're starting to get it. Okay.

Next one. Someone who has to do menial, boring text. tasks for another person and someone hired to do distasteful or unlawful tasks for another person. Ooh. Unlawful. Huh. This was the second word, if that's the one you're having trouble with. The second word comes up in the first Song of Ice and Fire book, the person who was hired to go.

kill Bran Stark is referred to as a blank of somebody else I remember that's the word of the head Oh okay okay well I know the second one Okay okay okay Karen knows the first one Okay all right

Underdog It's not underdog Underdog is like somebody in a sports You know matchup that's uh yeah Okay maybe you guys don't this one Okay so I'll tell you So the first word Is dog's body

Their dog's body Yes A dog's body is a person who is like Who has to do a bunch of menial drudge work For another person Oh I didn't know that one That's a good one I believe it's cat's paw

Cats paw yes Dogs body and cats paw A cat's paw specifically is somebody Who you have doing something that is either distasteful or possibly illegal Okay So poetic Yeah Dogs body and Cats paw

That sounds like a very expensive boutique shop, Chris. Like, oh, where did you get that? Oh, I got it at Dog's Body and Catspaw, yeah. All of these do sound a little interesting. I think when you pair them up like this. But, yes, that's good. That's good.

Okay. A large, wasteful, ultimately useless undertaking and a massive disaster. Anybody? A large, wasteful, ultimately useless undertaking and a massive undertaking and a massive disaster. Massive Disaster. Again, it's the first one that's alarming. Oh, okay. Holland.

Okay. Well, I'm going to go on the reverse order. Is the massive disaster catastrophe? Catastrophe. It is, yeah. Okay. And then the first one, I've heard this phrase before. I'm not sure this what you're looking for.

Is it dogs, dogs breakfast? No, it's not. It's just one word. One word, right. Something where you maybe sink a ton of money into something. you know, often the government might do something like this where a ton of money gets sunk into something to no effect. Okay.

A boondoggle. Yes. Boondoggle and a catastrophe. Boondoggle and catastrophe. Boondogle and catastrophe. This must be really hard to find these, the pairing of the words. There are way more words with C-A-T and them than DOG in them. A lot of it was find the DOG word and then find a good C-A-T word that pairs.

Got it, got it. That was kind of the process, yeah. Okay. a tree with pink blossoms and an ancient type of violin string. Aaron. Dogwood. Uh-huh. Cat guts.

And to chain things. This is one of those $1.1.1. words that you, you, it sounds very, uh, sounds very fancy and that it just means to chain things together. Yes. Uh, the first one is dog leg, I'm assuming. And then the second word is concatenate. Yes, correct.

Dogleg and concatenate. Concatenate simply means to link things together in a chain. Yes. Concatinate. Concatinate does show up in, in coding and programming a lot. Oh, I see. You'll concatenate variables into a string or something like that. Yeah.

All right. A type of organization that monitors for illegal activity and to find something. A type of organization that monitors for illegal activity and find something. Okay. I know the first. I know the first one, I think. And to find something. Okay.

That's right. Mud scots. Oh, okay. All right. Here we go. Get out your barnyard buzzers. First question. The first Olympics official mascot was the 1972 summer games in Munich.

And it was a dog. What kind of dog was it? Colin? I believe it was a doxon. Yes, it was a weiner dog. Weiner dog. First official mascot of Olympics is a cute weater dog. That's so late, 72. Wow.

They had like unofficial mascots, but they're not like printed marketing collateral. Sure, sure. Waldie, the weiner dog was the first mascot. It looks like a like a, what you think, a. 70s, very graphic, bold screen print dog looks like. It's like a poster you can buy from Etsy. You know what I mean? When you look at it, it's not like an Olympic mascot, what we think of,

of an Olympic mascot. It's like a cute, designing dog. And then fun fact about Waldy, they actually charted the marathon in the 1972 Summer Games so that it's a shape of a word of. No, really? They ran a shape. a shape of the wiener dog like the shape of the wiener dog

was more important than a good course you know what I mean they try to really make it happen waldi's not the only Olympic mascot dog there was another one in 1992 Colby the Catalan sheep dog kind of a cool abstract stylish

representation what city was this Olympics held in Colin That would be Barcelona But those are the only two dogs so far Do you guys know what the upcoming mascots are For the Paris Olympics? Oh man

I saw it because they just unveiled them And I've totally forgot And they're all due like these days It's always like multiple mascots now right Yeah, the past several Olympics Yeah I forget what was it They're hats They're like the French Revolution

Not Napoleon hats But like you know The French Revolution like little wool hats But they're cute. They're very cute. I know it sounds kind of like Mario Odyssey. Yeah. Okay.

All right. Next question. Who was described by their creators? And I quote, he was tired. He had seen the world. And he had epitomized all the detectives we had seen from Raymond Chandler to Dashel Hammett and even Colombo. Chris?

McGruff the crime dog The crime dog Listeners if you did not grow up in the United States Around the 1980s You missed McGruff the crime dog Who is a A serious cartoon dog

Yeah It's like a human body with a with a hound dog And like a bloodhound dog Yeah Like one dog in a trench coat Yeah It was kind of polarizing People are like

You want a cartoon dog to talk about crime and it turns out it was a big hit you know people really related to it people didn't think it was overly cutesy i feel like also i associate you know again being an 80s kid i remember like there was the golden aid there was mcgruff the crime dog you had smoky smoker the bear you know it was like sort of a who's who's woodsy the owl you know i i guess woodsie didn't make it into the uh 2020s um it was like it was you know like nature safety and for his safety and respect for nature and that kind of, yeah. And you guys, of course, remember McGruff's slogan, right?

Yes. Give it to us. Take a bite out of crime. Oh, such good copy. Oh, it's so good. Take a bite out of crime. There was actually a nationwide contest to name McGruff, to name the dog character. They unveiled the character and people could write in.

And so McGruff was chosen. Great name. The runner up is not. good. It's sure locked homes. Like locked homes. Like the homes are locked up.

Sure. Locked homes. Sure locked homes. Wow. Hey, listen. From one bad pun writer to another. You tried. Good some good work. You tried.

Sure locked homes. Yeah. The sign of a good pun is when you have to explain it a couple times. Yeah. That's how you know. You've really... So that's the name of the dog? But like, but he's like a modern detective. He's not like a deer stalker cap, you know, British detective.

Like it's it. McGruff is so good. No, it's perfect. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, next question. The title, his master's voice is the title of the painting of Nipper the Dog. staring into what? Chris, what's your guess?

It's the speaker horn on a victrola. Yes. That's my answer as well. Okay. Well, there's two answers. Oh. If you guys don't know, Nipper the dog, it's the RCA dog. It's what we colloquially call the RCA Victor Dog.

It's like a very, very cute dog staring into like a speaker horn. an old-style speaker horn. Uh-huh. The machine, in the original painting, it was an Edison cylinder phonograph. Oh, okay. Okay. It got repainted into a gramophone. That is really interesting.

That is a good picture, yeah. All right. Next question. Officially, there are six dogs who take turns and put on red, non-toxic natural paint on their faces to fulfill promotional duties for what company? Oh, Colin. Is it Target? It's Target. For a bullseye.

Bullseye, the, the bull terrier, there are six dogs. And this is for commercials, for their posters, sometimes they go to events, they go to award shows. And, you know, listeners, you might know that I always talk about how I bookmarked the, the, the Wikipedia page. where it lists all the different types of sandwiches in the world, the Bullseye Wikipedia page is also a very frequently, it's not even a long page. It's not like there's that much information,

but I go to it pretty frequently because I love the picture. It's a bullseye, the real version of Bullseye, at the Idita Rod. He's not running. He's like, therefore, he's wearing a little Target sweater. He's a celebrity, yes. And just his, and just, it's actually her,

her face is just kind of staring into like space and it's one of my favorite pictures um so bull's eye all girls all girl they're all female dogs to portray you know what people believe is a boy dog same thing with spuds mackenzie as well which is also the same breed um they're all female dogs kind of playing a maybe a male character dog and at first i was like oh i wonder why yeah oh are they easier to train are they more mild manner yeah like they don't mind cameras or something right yeah yeah yeah And then then looked at all the pictures of bullseye and spuds. And I realized when you have a spokes dog, most of the time the dog is sitting down and getting their pictures taken. And I was like, oh, if it's a boy dog, then his nether regions would just be out.

And it'd just be photographed from different angles. Do you know what I mean? It's like, I'm not an expert. If someone is an expert, please educate me. I think they want to avoid having a dog penis like in pictures. That is super reasonable. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he can't wear pants, you know.

Bullseye, six dogs and two additional dogs in training. The alternate. Oh, they're the up-and-comers. It's also good for, you know, foiling would-be assassins if you've got the doubles, the doubles around. You know, you never know which one's the, yeah. Which is the Queen Amadala or Harry Potter tactic. Yeah, yeah. The double gear.

All right. Last question. Brad Pitt or lasers? Which came first? Goofy or Pluto? Ooh. Oh. Chris?

Goofy. What's your guest, Colin? I was going to say Pluto. Pluto came first. Oh, wow. First appearance, 1930 in the short, the chain gang. Goofy was not always called goofy. When he first debuted, Dippy Dog.

Dippy Dog. And I'm counting the Dippy Dog. His. Sure. Oh, I was. Dippy Dog in 1932 in Mickey's review. Ah. Yeah.

My reasoning on the answer there was just that they would give Mickey a dog before they gave him another friend. That was my reasoning. Oh, yeah, that's true. All right. Good job, everybody. And that's our dog episode. Doggonna.
