Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and Offbeat Trivia podcast. This is episode 290, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your twiddling, twinkle-toes, twisting twizzlers while twirling in the twilight. I'm Colin. And I'm Chris. Chris, you just came back from a bunch of trips.

A bunch of stuff. I went to London for the BAFTA awards. Yeah. But who cares about that. I want to hear about your Disney Cruise. The Disney Cruise. I'll tell you to Disney Cruise. And there's a lot of things you can do on the Disney Cruise, and we did a lot of trivia, because you can do a lot of trivia.

on Disney crews and game shows and stuff like that. There was, I participated in a game show themed entirely around the Emperor's New Groove. Actually, I have to tell you this story. So it was an Emperor's New Groove themed game show. All the kids obviously always want to go up on stage to do stuff. And the adults, maybe not so much, except for me, who's a big, dumb idiot who will do anything. And of course, I'm always raising my hand to go up on stuff, even if it's say the Emperor's New Groove, which is a movie. that I have seen, and I like, but I'm not like a super expert in it or anything.

So they're like, who wants to come up and play the first game? And I'm like, yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like, you, sir, come on up. And game is identify cronks, the orders that he makes in the diner, identify what it really is. Like diner lingo. It's diner lingo. This is your slumdog millionaire moment, Chris. So I get up there and I just completely crush it.

I'm like, yeah, Adam and even on a raft, no problem. Drag it through the garden. I got this. Just so everybody knows. Good job bringing the book. Our book is cited on Wikipedia in the Diner Lingo article page. Yes. It is a reference.

Noted authority, Chris Coleman. Yeah. I love Diner Lingo. I love all that stuff. So we did a lot of trivia. And the first trivia game, my son and I went down. and we were just there by ourselves. They made the announcement like, hey, so you can be a group of four,

and we have four potential medals, these cool little Disney medals for the winners, right? They're like, so if you're a group of two and there's another group of two, you should just get together because, you know, there's four medals total, right? I turn around and there's like two like girls sitting behind us. I'm like, oh, you want a team after? Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay. They turned out to be a pair of Disney-loving eighth-grade girls who were on their school's Knowledge Bowl team.

You're like, you found the right nerds, yeah. Oh, they carried us to victory. Really? It was fantastic. Oh, we crushed it. Yes. So that was a lot of fun. Yeah, and then after that, went to London there for the BAFTA Awards.

She did not win, but I kind of feel like a winner. I got to actually, you know, get dressed up in a tug. and go to the Bafco boards and get there and clap politely and it was it was great you know I'm on the I'm on Getty images on the red carpet if you care to go look that Oh my God no

There was a reaction shot actually It was a joke about the Nintendo Switch 2 Then they cut to my laughter My reaction and we're like Get this guy lined up They had you in their sights ready to know They had me pegged This looks like the sort of person

That would laugh at a Nintendo joke You're on getting images. Did you find it? You're on the red carpet, yes. On the red carpet. Looking sharp. Thank you. Wow.

Whirlwind. Anyway, I'm back. Yay. Speaking of trivia, without further ado, let's jump into our first general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot. All right, here I have a random trivial pursuit card and a surprise card. And you guys have your barnyard buzzer. So let's answer some question. Let's do our vanilla trivia first.

Here we go. Random card from the box. Blue Wedge for Geography. In which country would you find the monuments, the big fiddle, the world's largest axe, and the world's largest lobster? In which country? In which country? Ooh, Colin. I'm going to say Australia, because you told us they have all the big things.

That's what I thought to. It is not. Let's see. Chris. Fiddle, largest axe, and lobster. Chris. United States of America. Oh, no. Our neighbor, Canada. Oh, that makes a lot more sense. All right. Here we go. Pink Wedge for pop culture.

Which law and order, special victims unit actor, first gained attention as a successful, though controversial rapper. What? Oh, okay. Chris. It's iced tea. Yes. Did you know? Did you know he was a rapper? Yeah.

Wow. Times have changed. I like somehow that they feel like the little bit of extra clue, but controversial. He's like, oh, controversial rapper who was then on Law and Order SVU. That helped me. You have a lot of guest spots, yeah. All right. Yellow Wedge, which three nations comprised what President George W.

W. Bush called the Axis of Evil in January 2002. Oh, right. Okay. Maybe we can tag team on this one, Chris. All right. North Korea was on there, right? North Korea. Iraq? Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. And was it Syria? Iran. Iran. Okay, Iran. Chris got it. Yeah. Iraq, Iran, and

Am I wrong here? I'm going to search the entire. text. I don't know if you're going to find anything about Lord of the Rings on the Internet, Chris. Nobody on the Internet cares about Lord of the Rings. You know what? The summary says Frodo Baggins does not appear in The Hobbit, but is in the movie The Hobbit. Yeah. Is he mentioned even in passing? He's searching through the book. I see a lot of people angry at the movie because Frodo was in. He's not supposed to. No, he's not supposed to be in it. Oh, Tribal

Pursuit, you're done. You're on notice. Ooh, good catch. Surely we will receive no comments about this one. There's nothing on the internet by Lord of the Rings. Whereas, like, I follow, like, 50 Lord of the Rings meme accounts on Instagram. It's a rich ecosystem. All right.

It is Emilio Estavis. Okay. Good job. Brains. All right, today's show. Episode 29. Every episode of Good Job Brain, we usually have a topic and then we make segments and quizzes around that topic. But every fifth episode, that's all out the door because it's our All Quiz Bonanza where we've each created random quizzes. We don't know. They're mystery. And we're going to play some quizzes and some games.

So this week, it is All Quiz Bonanza number 58. I will start us off tonight in the all-quiz pananza. I have brought back a quiz I called One is Easy, Three is hard. This was a lot of fun to put together, the first one. We're not really mad at you over Ponyo. No one says Ponyo, right? So the premise of this quiz was almost the inverse of some of the quizzes where we've played before, where we try to list things to the exclusion of other people.

and you get a point if you name something that no one else names. But I flip that around. So the goal of this game is how well can we get inside each other's heads? I will give you an example here. So I'm going to give you a category. The goal is to list three things. And you want to try and match with the other two people as many as you can. You get points for each match.

But our goal is to have the trifecta. We're all three of us. We want to match. That's right. We want to match as best as we can. So some of this is not so much about are you correct or not. It's how well can you predict what the other person knows? It's a pup trivia strategy where we often talk about the Joe blog answer, right?

We get a trivia question. We're not really sure we go with what's obvious in what most people know or should we go too deep? And it's like that kind of balance. Yeah, yeah. And that there are a lot of categories of facts in the world where getting the number one answer is easy. If I asked you a name, like we talked about on the last show, a jazz musician, a lot of people are going to say, you know, Miles Davis, you know, no problem. Louis Armstrong. But if you ask them to name three jazz musicians, it's going to, you're going to get a lot of diversions. So, all right, here we go.

We'll do this as a write-down. Get out your writing implements. All right, here we go. Here we go. Give me three romance languages. Okay. All right, guys, hive mind. what would my good friends

Whose line is it anyways? my turn here I have more of a traditional trivia question and answer quiz, a little bit of background. We're some overstimulated, frazzled adults here, and we probably have very different and perhaps unusual ways to relax and unwind these days. For me, after a long day at the office and a long commute back home, after making dinner for everybody and everybody eats different things, and then after kids bath time and kids bedtime and after cleaning up uh after all that i just want to sit on the couch pop open a can of diet coke and do one of two things i like to watch these days i like to watch highlight clips of rainbolt who is chris knows a professional geogessor player oh i love watching those he'll look at like a piece of concrete and be like oh this is this town in bolivia

Love it. Patterns of the telephone wires. Oh, we're in Indonesia. And the other thing I like to do to relax, which doesn't actually sound relaxing, but it is in my own ways. I like to plan like imaginary vacations. I'm not actually going to take a vacation. But if I were to, I'd research the hotel and the city. And I like to challenge myself to see if I can plan a trip there.

So here, I have a quiz about hotels, about hotels. It's summertime. We're going to travel. So maybe, yeah, file these interesting tidbits away in your brain. This is a let's do a write-down quiz where you have to show me the answer. How's that? All right. All right. Here we go. My quiz about hotels first question. The world's largest hotel by room count is called the first world hotel with 7,351 rooms. It also has a, just in the hotel itself, has a massive shopping plaza, a casino, an indoor theme park, a snow park, a bowling alley, a video game park, and more. This is just in the hotel. This hotel is one of seven hotels in the resorts world, Ghenting complex in what Asian country? This hotel is one of the seven hotels in the resorts world.

World Ghenting complex in what Asian country? Please write down your answer. Okay. I'm not going to, I'm not going to overthink it. Resorts World Genting is kind of like a Disney World-like complex. All right, here we go. Chris put, UAE, and Colin says he didn't overthink of China. It is Malaysia.

Malaysia. Wow. Resorts World might sound familiar because they also opened a hotel complex in Las Vegas, and that's owned by a Malaysian company. I was just reading something about Las Vegas recently, the last boom in Las Vegas. And they were talking about when the MGM Grand opened, that was the largest hotel in the world. Fun fact, the MGM Grand is the largest single building hotel. So many hotels now, you see, have like, oh, Tower One, Tower Two.

But they all count as the same hotel entity. but MGM Grand is the biggest hotel by room in a single one building. Okay, so they still got some claim to some fame there. Okay. All right. Question number two about hotels, the world's oldest hotel, is the Nishiyama Keun Khan, located in Japan, and offers what naturally occurring feature and activity to customers. Nishiyama Keun Khan.

All right, here we go. Chris, Hot Springs. Column put Hot Springs. You're correct. The word I didn't say in the hotel name is Onsen. Onsen is Hot Springs. This place was founded in the year, 705. That's incredible.

Three digits. How long ago was that? 1,320 years ago in Hayakawa, Japan. I have a little add-on, bonus question. Speaking of Onsen, what? what classic Japanese manga and anime features characters who fell into cursed hot springs and then could change forms when in contact with hot or cold water. Are we writing this down?

Yeah. Oh man. Colin, you should know this. Oh man. Okay. Oh, come on, Colin, you can do it. All right, answers up. Chris has got a right.

Ronma one half. Ronma. Ronma, the character can turn into switch genders based on on the temperature of the water and his dad can turn into a panda. Handy. Handy. All right. Question number four.

We often say, oh, this hotel is a four star or a five star hotel. How high does the star rating for hotels actually go? Ha! I feel like there's been some star inflation over the years. All right. How high does it really go? I'm not going to overthink it. Okay.

All right. Answers up. Colin put six. Chris put four. The correct answer is five. Five star hotel. Oh, really? I've never heard of a six star hotel. I don't know. I've heard of five and I was like, is that, are they exaggerating? So good, it's a five star. So interesting enough, that really is a thing. There have been some hotels claiming that they're a seven star hotel. That's exactly what you're describing, Chris, where a journalist said this hotel is like a seven star to be exaggerating. So, Every country has their own rating requirements. They've all settled on five stars. Whether or not your five star in Australia is the same as a five star in Brazil. They all kind of level. Yeah, it's sort of normalized.

Yeah, yeah. It's funny to read the requirements for each star. Here's one star. Here's what one star hotel has to have in the EU or any country within Europe. All right. Okay. So it has to have reception, like a reception service desk. Okay, to get a star.

It has to offer cashless payment, so you can pay with card. It has to offer daily room cleaning. Okay. A hundred percent of the rooms have to have color TV with remote control. Wow. One star hotel in Europe has to have a table and chair, and it has to have bath towels and soap and body wash. Honestly, I got to say, that's actually a pretty high bar for one star. It is.

It actually is. I mean, like, if that's, you're only going up from there, you're just. and pretty okay. Yeah, I've stayed in places that don't have these things. Okay. Speaking of places that might not have these things, question number five, Airbnb is one of the biggest disruptors to the hotel and tourism industry of our lifetime. Indeed. Now, we all might know what the letters B&B stand for in Airbnb, which is bed and breakfast, right? But do you know what the air specifically refers to? I believe. I believe, I do.

And this is part of their origin story. So, yeah, Airbnb, we say it all the time. B&B stands for bed and breakfast. But what's the air part referring to? Answers up. Chris says, your room evaporates one day before your trip. Oh, that's ghost B&B. And then Colin put air bed.

Yeah, Colin is correct. Air mattress. It actually stands for air mattress. So the founders, they were roommates. And they're like, hey, we have this extra living room. Let's make a little bit of money renting our living room. We'll put an air mattress. Someone can just stay in our living room for a really cheap price.

Stay on the air mattress. And that's what started Airbnb. Question number six, what is the room number of the haunted room at the Overlook Hotel from Stephen King's The Shining? Oh, man. Do we know the room number? Yes, because it's in the name of the. documentary that they made. I'm going to write down something. And I'm going to tell you. I'm going to bring this back,

actually, because when we were on that Disney cruise, at one point, there was a Disney music round and they were like, write down the show or movie that this music is from, and then write down the title of the song, okay? So they played the Rescue Rangers theme song, and I wrote down Chippendale's Rescue Rangers. Okay. But I don't know what the title of the song is. So I didn't put anything down. It turns out that the answer they were looking for was theme from the rescue rangers.

And it's like, oh, I'm like, oh, right. Always write something. Yeah. Don't leave a life. Yep. Rescue, yes, rescue rangers theme, the best that you can do.

Answers up, what room number is it? Chris put 176, Colin puts 217. It is 217. Oh, man. Good job, Brain. That's a good job, brain moment right there. I had two of the three numbers. Next question. No matter which double tree hotel you're staying in the world, you always get what item at check-in?

Huh. Double-tree hotel now owned by Hilton. Hmm. I wasn't owned by Hilton before, but anyways, they have a tradition, any location of double tree in the world. When you check in, they get. give you something. What do they give you? Chris knows. I know. I know. Oh, I'm just taking a guess here. I guess. Maybe I do. Maybe I don't know.

All right. Uh, Colin put chocolate on pillow. Chris put cookie. It is the famous double tree chocolate chip cookie. I guess I've been missing out. I don't stay enough double trees. They know when you're coming in. And so they keep the right number of cookies in a warming tray. Wow. I know. In 2019, big news, double tree cookie became the first ever food baked in space. They were testing ovens in space, like space ovens essentially. Ovens for space. Yes. And also testing what is baking like in space. And so they tested and baked five cookie dough discs and it's really

interesting because a normal cookie would take like 12 to 15 minutes at like a 350 degree oven but what's it like in space? There's no gravity. Yeah how do you like you can't guarantee the contact of the sheet right. The air doesn't move so how long did it actually take to bake

a successful double tree chocolate chip cookie first cookie went in for like 25 minutes it was underbaked it was still doughy. The best time was about a hundred twenty minutes waiting for a cookie for a cookie what did it look like i mean did it look anything like an earth cookie a so-called i think people were theorizing there's no gravity so would the cookie just be a ball a sphere right exactly in order to put food in the space oven you have to put it in this thick suvied bag okay okay they're all kind of flattish foods you can go bake

your own double tree cookies at home. They publish the recipe. All right. What is the loyalty program called associated with Marriott Hotels? What is Marriott Hotel's loyalty program called? Oh, man. And it's actually a very, very good name. Is that, oh, wait, is that one of their subchains? Oh, man, I don't know. I have a friend who is all about the Marriott chain. Oh, man, I don't know. answer is up. All right. Colin put Bonvoy and Chris put. Bonvoy. You're correct. It is Bonvoy.

So glad I pulled that out. I know. Nice, nice work. Wow. That's, that's hilarious because, like, the branding has clearly sunk in there, but I don't even think I knew if that was, like, one of their subject. Right, right, right. Loyalty program, but picked out of 600 names short for Bon Voyage. It is, it is clever. But rhymes with Envoy, which is, like, an ambassador or, like, a someone who is represented. So very good name, Bonvoy.

Next question. Number nine, based on a survey of hotel workers, what is set to be the most commonly stolen hotel room item? So it's not toiletries. You're kind of meant to take them home or they're meant to be thrown away. Something you're not supposed to take. What is the most commonly stolen hotel room item? All right. All right.

Answers up. Chris put robe, Colin put. towels. You're both correct. It is rope slash towels. Oh, really? Okay. All right. I was going back and forth. I was thinking, like, am I going to find out through this quiz that I'm not supposed to be taking this stuff? It's like, it is the pen. It is illegal to take the pen out of a hotel room. Like, oh, no. I've taken the pen. Take the pen all the time. Yeah. You can take the pen. You can take the toiletries. Those plastic laundry bags. I mean, that's kind of almost designed for you to bring home. Towels, no, bedding, no. But now we have smarter systems where they know where you stayed and when you stayed and then they can just charge you. Last question here. The way we get into our hotel rooms drastically changed in 1978.

The Peach Tree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta was the first hotel to implement what system in order to decrease the amount of room burglaries. I'll say it again. the way we get into our hotel rooms drastically changed in 1978. When Peach Tree Plaza Hotel in Atlanta was the first hotel to implement what system in order to decrease the amount of room burglaries? All right. Answers up. Colin put key card.

Chris put key card. You're correct. It is key cards. Of course back then, people had physical metal keys and you can just copy those keys and get into hotel rooms in the 1970s. invented by Norwegian engineer Tor Sornis. And get this, he had heard about the news that his favorite singer, Connie Francis, was attacked in her hotel room.

And that's what made him, that's what inspired him to be like, there's got to be a better way. I've got to invent something that would have saved Connie Francis. Yeah. Oh, my goodness. The key card system that was introduced was hole punched. Oh, right now we're like RFID. whatever. Yeah, yeah.

This was like holes. Like optical style. Yes, you put in your plastic key card in, and then after that, then we have the generation of mag strips, right? Magnetic strip. Like a credit card or, yeah. Where you still have to swipe in, swipe out. And then you put it near your credit cards or wallet or you walk all day and it's not

working. You have to go downstairs, be like, give me a new card. Now it's RFID. And then we're also seeing the generation where you use your phone, Bluetooth to also unlock your. I remember on a trip. with my family when I was a I was young I mean I was five or six maybe we were staying in Vancouver and we had a metal key of the room and it was like giant metal key and it was just a

metal key stamped on the key it says like if if found drop in any mailbox postage guaranteed and it had the address of the hotel printed right on it stamped on the key I mean it was giant head of this key. And I was asking my dad, I'm like, what? Like, for real, you could actually do this? You know, we joked about it. He's like, oh, yeah, you know, it's like they want that key back. It's that big of a deal that they lose the key. Yes, true. It's changed the lock. They don't know who has it. It's a security issue. In a truly hilarious turn of events, my dad actually forgot and did in fact take the key with him when we left the hotel. And we were like in Seattle. And my dad found it. And he let me like actually drop it in the mailbox.

And, you know, crossed our fingers and hope it got there. Yeah. Good job, everybody. Nice. Ho-ho-ho hotels. We're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Did you know the pandas people a hundred times today? You're listening. Good job, bring. Bye. And we're back. And today is our all quiz number 58. Chris, you're up next. What's your mystery quiz?

I've got a music round for everybody. I have 10 snippets of popular music. And it is your job to identify the artist, identify the musical artist. There is a... Of course, a theme. There is a theme to all of this. I will set you up for this. The theme is not some kind of word play.

It is not a puzzle. It is not, God forbid, the rabbit hole into an escape room. It is a legit, it is a theme connected to an intrinsic quality of the sound recordings that you are going to hear. Okay. So it is a. The second letter of every video. Right, yeah. Nothing like that. You don't need to write, you don't need to write down the names of the songs or anything like that. Just answer the questions. What is the artist of the song? So it's 10 musical clips. Get out your pad and paper because we're going to be writing these down. All right. So let's listen in. Let's listen in to clip number one. my list because your kiss

your kiss is on my list because your kiss is on my list with the best things in life All right let's see those answers certified banger Colin says

Hall and Oates Karen says Hall and Oates Sorry no it's Darrell Hall and John Oath is the official name of the group popularly known as Hall and Oates Yes kiss on my list

Certified Bang or incredible song. Let's move right along to clip number two. No lyrics for you on that one. Oh, all right. Well, I can't leave a blank. all right uh colin is written sugar ray karen has written foster the people it is foster the people okay with pumped up kicks moving right along let's try clip number three As some day comes back

Put your makeup on Fix your hair And make me the night In Atlanta City Remember you're just looking Just looking for the artist here Just looking for the artist on this point All right

All right Colin says Bruce Karen says Bruce Springsteen Both correct That is Bruce Springsteen With Atlantic City Didn't know the song, didn't recognize the song You know what?

Does not matter. His voice and the harmonica, yeah. It's ruled out one of my maybe theories so far. Oh, interesting. Interesting. All right, yes, of course, as Colin has reminded us, there is a theme so you can be thinking about the theme or what the theme might be as this is going along

as we roll into clip number four. Name the nickname, if you wish, of this artist. Oh, man, okay. I need some spelling help here. Nickname is perfectly acceptable. Oh, I don't know what their nickname is. It doesn't help me either way. All right.

All right. Colin says Jack Johnson. Karen says Israel. Kami. S.P. Yes. Karen is correct. I'm going to give it to Karen. His name is Israel nickname is I-Z, which you could have easily written down. Kamakawi-wo-ole is his last name. I may have pronounced that incorrectly. Kamakawi-wole. He goes by many names. He does not go by the name Jack Johnson. So we're going to give that one to Karen. So this is interesting, Colin, because when I hear that song, I think of one thing. Okay.

more clips to listen to starting with clip number five i will admit i will admit i would not have been able to tell you the name of artist had I not put together this quiz. All right. Now I know. I'll give you guys a hint. It's something and the somethings. Somebody in the somethings. Somebody in the somethings.

Karen says Joan Jet. It's not it's not Joan Jet. Jerry and, sorry Colin, what did you write? Jerry and the Van Dell's. Jerry and the Van Dell's. Wow. Colin is close S to the pin, but I don't think that's the point. name of the group so the song is called crimson and clover yes yeah yeah yeah which also recorded

the songs moni moni uh and the original version of i think we're alone now um the group is the group is tommy james and the chandel's and the chandel's and the chandel's so mad around there mommy james and the shandels crimsoning clover someone listening got that yeah Tommy james is listening right now mommy james and the shandals so mad right now Big hit, not as big of a hit, though, as track number six. A hit, is it a band or an artist? Oh, sorry, yes, sure. Number six is a band.

They typically do that at pub trivia. They say name the artist or the singer or the band or something like that. I have a convoluted answer. I love convoluted answers. Okay. Karen says monkeys and Colin did get it corrected. He put the Beatles. It is the fabulous four singing Beatles with real love.

If you have any stories about it, you might want to sit on those stories and give them later. Now we move on to track number seven. Oh, the very first time that I saw your brown eyes, your lips said hello and I said hi. I knew right then you were the world. Okay. Colin has written Boys Two Men. Karen has also written Boys Two Men. both too wrong.

If I ever fall in love, that 90s group was called Shai. Oh, H-A-I, Shia. Huge a cappella hit. Yeah, yep, yep, yep. Well, here is another song that actually performed pretty okay, maybe not as a big of a hit as If I Ever Fall in Love by Shai, but it's track number eight. Although it doesn't really matter much to me

Maybe you've never heard it before you've never heard it before Remember we're just trying to identify that artist, that singer. Not a band in this case. individual sounds familiar Colin has written Connie Francis and Karen has written Connie Francis

going for that that kismet that maybe it was already mentioned earlier in the show wouldn't that be a funny coincidence both incorrect you guys are in mental sync here on the wrong answer that is the great Carol King

Oh wow Now sounds very early. Her voice is there, for sure. Let's crank it back even more with track number nine. Yummy, yummy, yummy, yummy, I got love in my tummy, and I feel like I'm loving you. Have you such a sweet thing, good enough to eat thing, and it's just a what I'm going to do. Very well-known song, I think, overplay. if anything.

What was the artist? What was the artist behind this? Wow. I mean, exercising their twin powers. Karen and Collin have both written the monkeys. Karen and Colin are both incorrect. The name of the group is Ohio Express. Ohio Express was the group behind the song.

I was not even close. Yummy, yummy, yummy. But we've got. one more song that fits into this theme. All of these songs share something in common making a, it is an interesting piece of trivia, but let's close it out with track 10. Because you know it's you, babe, whenever I get weary and I've had in love, feel like giving up, you know it's you. okay feel pretty good about this one not positive but feel pretty good oh my gosh wow incredible absolutely amazing Colin and Karen wonder twins have both once again they have both written

air supply and they are both wrong again Chicago it's not Chicago it's not Chicago it is not Oh, my God. It is sticks. Oh. Colin has three points. Karen has four points. The theme is worth two points. So it's anybody's game.

I just made that. Okay. Write down the theme. You can express this theme in one. You can express this theme in a sentence, but really you could also express it the theme in a single word if you really need to do. And it is an interesting. piece of trivia about all of these that they all share.

Colin has written down charted after being in a commercial and Karen has written down TV, which is similar. Similar answers. Again, both both unfortunately wrong. I mean, here's some information about some of these songs. So Kiss on my list was supposed to be performed by the song's co-writer, whose name was Jana Allen. The members of Shy, met at Howard University and recorded if I ever fall in love to try to get interest from a record label. Carol King was originally a

songwriter who wrote songs for other people. Every single one of these recordings that you just heard were demos. They are demos that were not supposed to be heard by the public. Daryl Hall

cut a demo of Kiss on my list as a guide to help the person was supposed to do it know how to do the song, but the record label heard the demo and they're like, this is so good. They put it out. That's interesting. Pumped up kicks. The version of pumped up kicks, that was written and recorded and produced and finished and done in five hours by Mark Foster working alone, just like, I think I'm going to try, just try putting a demo together. And that version is what released. The entire Bruce Springsteen album, Nebraska, was all demos. he did in his bedroom and he was going to record them with the with the east street man but they

didn't like it and they just they just put the demos and release them the uh the summer of the rainbow that was just the demo they did a fully orchestrated ridiculous version of that like an ump tempo dance version but then later on they were just listening to the one take that he cut of the demo and like oh we should put this out too that's really good and on and of course real love was a demo by John Lennon that he recorded as a demo and the Beatles went back to it and add in all of the overdubs and orchestration. Wow. Yep. So for like Babe by six, no, they were not re-recorded. They may have had an instrument overdubbed on to them. So Babe, he wrote it as a birthday present from his wife. They were like, oh, this is really good. Let's just put this out. Well, let's just

put a guitar solo in there. And so they just overdub, they just dropped one more. track just to guitar solo. Wow. They would, and sometimes they would try to polish it up and then sometimes they did not. But either way, there are, the main part of that song was just a demo recording. It was not actually intended to be released. That's great. That's great.

All right. Great round. Woohoo. Have you guys heard of Colin Oates? You know what that is? Yes. The number, the phone number? I almost made that into my segment for the last episode.

about 5-5-5 numbers. He was one of my coworkers, the guy who started Colin Oats and made it. Yeah, and like on the same team, like I sat across from the desk, like lunch with them, one of my co-workers was like, oh, yeah, like, you know, he still runs Colin Oats, like he just pays for it himself, you know? And I was like, wait, Michael made call it oats.

He's like, yeah, yeah, he did it. He was, it was like one of the real early kind of like, I don't know, like viral art kind of things like that. Yeah, but anyway, yeah, he still maintains it. It doesn't cost, he says it costs him like peanuts. Yeah, but he's worth it to him just to be hilarious for like the same way that like, I don't know, I've got loosemeats.com just because it makes me laugh.

All right, I got our last quiz here. Just so everybody knows, 1998 was a very formative year for me. I was in high school. I was going out with my first boyfriend. I was doing good in school. I had a PlayStation 1. It was awesome. of the most memorable things in the year

in 1998 for some reason. I remember going into a theater to watch the sci-fi disaster blockbuster film about an imminent asteroid earth collision, deep impact. Then months

later, I remember going to the theater to watch the sci-fi disaster blockbuster film about an imminent asteroid earth collision, Armageddon. Yes. Later in that year, still 1998, I went to the theaters to watch ants, the computer animated movie about worker ants. And then one week after that, I went into the theater to see Pixar's A Bug's Life,

the computer animated movie about worker ants. And back then I was like, well, that's weird. Computer anime movies were pretty novel at that point. And it's like both were about ants. And this phenomenon is what is known as twin movies when two or more films with similar plots or subject matter are produced and released by separate film companies with separate crews around the same time within the same year. And there are a lot of reasons why it could be there's multiple scripts about the kind of the same subject matter floating around. Maybe there's some espionage.

Maybe it's by chance. Maybe one script got rejected, but then someone's like, oh, we should still make a movie about X, Y, Z. And so here I have a quiz about these twin movie occurrences. I will be giving you a plot summary or a plot point, the release year. And you can buzz in and tell me one of the movies. Okay. But the other person then has to correctly identify its twin film. All right.

Got it? The twin film phenomenon has been going on for a hundred. hundred years now. So for this quiz, I'm only going to focus on movies after, released after the year 2000. Okay. I want to say they're recent, but then I realize 2000 was like 25 years ago. So buzzin, the fastest person gets the answer, but then the other person has to identify the other twin movie. Here we go.

2006. This is a dark and moody mystery film about magicians and their tricks in 19th century Europe. Colin The Prestige Ooh yes correct Chris can you think of it's 2006 Dark and moody mystery film

One was released in 2006.

Hunk's

Jacob Allorty and Austin Butler both play an American rock and roll icon. Colin? Elvis? Correct. Elvis. What's the other twin movie directed by Sophia Coppola

This next one, 2004, both movies released in 2004, teen rom-com film about falling in love with the rebellious daughter of the U.S. president. So one daughter was played by Katie Holmes and one daughter was played by Mandy Moore. I remember these movies. I do not remember the names. All right, Colin? The first daughter. It is the first daughter. That is Katie Holmes.

And the other one is chasing Liberty. And is her name Liberty? I hope so. All right. We have our last twin here, 2014. Super action film about a highly trained. protagonist trying to live a civilian life, gets wronged by the mafia, then seeks revenge by killing.
