You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, flippant, Flipping, flawless, flamingos, fact-checking for fallacy and falafels. This is Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and off-be trivia podcast. Today's show is episode 2.95. And, of course, I'm your humble host, Karen. And we are your panoramic panel of post-pendemic pogoing pandas with parachute pants in a pantone palette. I'm Colin. And I'm Chris.

Oh, speaking of pantone, what's the, what's the color of the year? Oh, you know, I just was looking at this recently. I want to say it's like a brownish or like a rich kind of cinnamony, brown, goldy, something. Moka. That, okay. All right. People were mad about it because they're like, it's brown. It can't be tangerine every year.

You got to every now and then. You can't be teal every year. Yeah, you got to get the browns. Yeah. 295 road to 300. Wow, coming up fast. It's going to be here before we know it. Oh, man.

Well, this is our last episode of this spring season, 2025. Scheduling this season was kind of wacky. So thank you for all of your understanding. we all went through multiple lice outbreaks across our households. You know, I think earlier, in an earlier episode, I said we had a lice scare. So what was initially a lice scare became a confirmed case. So we did it, everyone. We got lice, everybody except for my bald husband.

I told my daughter if she wanted to shave her head. I mean, you know, we would support her in that. She just gave me the biggest bug-eyed look. before we jump into our trivia quizy fun time I do have a little bit of housekeeping it's a bit of a surprise for you guys so on the Good Job Brain Instagram

I got a DM so here's the message this is from Chloe and Chloe said my name is Chloe and my brother Zach and I have been listening to your podcast since you first began releasing episodes now as adults Zach and I are so lucky to live in the same city and we both work at our local rock climbing gym. When the gym's owners reached out to us staff members regarding suggestions for summer activities that would help us connect with our community,

Zach suggested that our gym host pub trivia, but it's like gym trivia because they're at a gym. Yeah. Pub trivia. He and I are now the hosts of a weekly trivia event and are living out our nerdy, dreams. Chloe continues, I wanted to send a huge thank you to all of you for inspiring a couple of smarty pants, siblings, and sharing your love for the pursuit of knowledge. Some of my favorite memories with my brother will always be the long road trips we spent in the back of our mom's car listening to Good Job Brain. That is truly awesome. Oh, I'm not done yet, guys.

Oh, oh, oh. Chloe says, in fact, Zach actually got the chance to meet you all at a fan meet-up in Las Vegas many years ago. Go on. The Vegas fan meetup, Zach, he must have been a young child at this point because... Oh, my God. When I read this message, I found a picture of us with Zach, and I sent it back to Chloe and go, is this him? We did the Good Job Brain trip to Las Vegas, where we recorded episodes there, and then we

did a fan meetup, and I believe New York, New York. York, right? Like the Irish bar in New York. The Irish pub. And then during the meetup, we heard like, oh, there's a family here with, like, young children and they can't come in the bar because the children are under the age of 21. So we're like, oh, no problem. So we just walked out into the casino floor and hung out there for a while talking with

that family. Remember we took the picture and everything. And that little boy grew up to be Zach, rock climbing instructor. slash hub trivia host. We missed Chloe. She wasn't there at the meet up, but we did meet Zach. Isn't that sweet? That is.

I absolutely, truly wholeheartedly love it. That's great. You still listen to this dumb show. We still do this dumb show. I recommend Zach that you go back when you have a chance to the nine fine Irishman pub in New York, New York. And walk into that summer. That's right.

That's right. I give him a piece of your mind. Well, without further ado, that was a lot of ado. A doo. A do. Plural of adieu is a do. It's a collective noun. Yeah.

Let's jump into our first general trivia segment. Pop quiz, hot shot. Here, I have a random trivial pursuit card. You guys have your barnyard buzzers. Listeners, play along. Let's answer some questions. Here we go. Blue Edge for Geography.

Which language was invented in 1886? as an international language. Chris. Esperanto. Esperanto. All right, here we go. Pink Wedge for Arts and Entertainment, which actor appeared in the TV show,

Pee Wee's Playhouse, and the films The Matrix and Apocalypse Now. Chris. Good old Cowboy Curtis, Lawrence Fishburn. Yes, Lawrence Fishburn. Oh, she's showing up a lot. Yeah. Whoa, he was an apocalypse now.

He must have been so young. Oh, he was young. He was a teenager. I mean, I believe he was literally a teenager. All right. Yellow Wedge. What brash two-term VP was born in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Colin.

That is Uncle Joe Biden. Do you remember his full name? Because he has the record for the longest full legal name. That's right. Yes. It's a Joseph Robinette Biden, Jr., I believe, right? Yes. Yeah.

Yeah. The junior really adds a couple of extra characters there. Purple Wedge. Which Museum's Geolocator app shows a path from Da Vinci's Mona Lisa to the winged victory of Samo Thrace. Colin, you were just there? I was just there two and a half weeks ago. That is the Louvre in Paris. Louvre.

Yes. Yes, and let me tell you, they pack you in there, man, there are so many people in the little gallery. I have to say, they're fairly chill. The way it works, you guys may have been there too, but like the way it works is they kind of have like, it's like a one-way flow in the room. You come in the back, you work your way up

through the stream of humanity to the front. There's a little rope. And they will basically let you hang out at the front of that rope. More or less as long as you want, as long as you're being civil and taking pictures and hanging out. And if you have like three or four people in your family, everyone can take a selfie. But when you're ready to leave,

they basically clip open the rope and you keep moving out past. So you're not going back the other direction. Oh, I see. Yeah, but I mean, most people are in and out of there in, you know.

Seconds? Minutes, let's say. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. And they say, you know,

again, this is all fresh on my mind because I was just reading up about it. As I say, they are in fact committed to finally moving the Mona Lisa to a dedicated viewing gallery. just by itself. You know, I mean, it is, it is sort of tragic. You've got these other great works of art all around in that gallery that nobody gives to whatever's about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Next question, Green Wedge for Science. House plants act as natural air filters to reduce indoor air pollution. True or false? Mm. Colin. I've heard this, so I will say true.

It's true. Okay. It is true. All right. Last question on this. card, uh, orange for sports and leisure and or wild card, uh, which American motorcycle maker was denied a trademark for its revving engine sound because it sounds just like other wrecking engine.

Chris. I would imagine Harley Davidson. I have to guess Harley Davidson, right, to do a sound trademark on the rev of the engine. We were just talking about the non-traditional trademarks, right? MGM, like they get, they get the lions roar. Yeah, that's okay, but Harley Davidson. But it's just not distinctive enough. Yeah, that's funny.

Here, let's end the season with what we've been doing all season, which is a card from the game TV buff. Oh, yeah. Pretty tricky. Here we go. Let's end our Pop Quiz Hacha with our last TV buff card. Get buffed out. First question is a quote, please identify.

the show and maybe the speaker looking at the room i can tell you're the most beautiful girl in the room colin first on the draw but that sounds like a flight of the concords that is what it sounds like yeah um man okay so i'll go which one yeah i'll go with jimaine i'll go with jane it is jane oh my gosh it's a great line yeah in the whole wide room Looking at the room I was re-watching that You showed that to me, Karen Their original like HBO special

On like a one-night stand Yes, yes, yep It's so good All right, next question Who played Dot Cotton in EastEnders This is a very British I have heard of EastEnders Okay, Chris

Dame Maggie Smith It is June Brown June Brown Next question This is a summary Please identify the show A classic sitcom

Featuring an eccentric And Maccob family Known for their love Of all things dark and spooky Well there's two Aren't they Yeah But they gotta be

They got to be going For the more famous one Are they? Oh Are they? Okay No I think the answer

is the Adams family because the Munsters is about a family who are all made up of like classic movie villains you know what I mean or movie monsters whereas the Adams family

is just regular people but they are into are into dark stuff so I think I think that's got to be our answer versus the monsters right versus yes no versus the Andy Griffiths show versus friends

it is the Adam's family all right terrific logic because the monsters are nameable monster like movie creatures whereas they're just odd yeah yeah yeah yeah all right good logic here we go next question james cordon used his best friend gavin as inspiration for what series it's in the title really cordon used his best friend Gavin as an inspiration for what series? Oh, do I know this? I mean, I don't know if I know this. Gavin and Stacy. Do not know. I've heard of that. I've heard of that. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Oh, next question. The Phineas and Ferb theme song was nominated for an Emmy in what year?

Oh, Chris. Chris. This is your family's specialty, Chris. When it is, he absolutely is. And the two, let's see, the show was, And in 2013, the show was still on. Where's My Water was happening in 2010? How about 2007? 2008. Oh, wow. I know. Always one year off.

Really well done, though, Chris. Baby dog time. The Where's My Water is a very deep cut. Where's my water? Well, so my wife got into this. because she was playing the Disney game Where's My Water? And she wanted more levels

and there was a spin-off day called Where's My Perry? And so she started playing that was a Phineas and Furb-themed theme spin-off of the mobile game, Where's My Water? And she was like, this show seems good. I think we should watch this show.

And it is really good. Last question from this TV buff card. What TV show link do Kanye West, Seneid O'Connor, and Adrian Brody have in common? Oh, Sheet O'Connor. Ooh, Colin. It's something like they were either never invited back or were kicked off of S&L, right?

They were all banned from Saturday Night Live. Yep, I see that. Good job, Brains. Woo. Hey, yeah, yeah, good job on that card. Good job on that card. On with the show. So every fifth episode of Good Job Brain, we don't adhere to a topic.

We don't have a subject. It is all quiz all the time. We've all prepared our own games and quizzes to stump each other and stump you guys, listeners. So get ready. Our season finale, it's Al Quiz Bonanza number, what was it? Oh, Al Quiz Bonanza, number 59. I will start us off on this all quiz Bonanza. I have a sequel, a return of a quiz format that I did a long, long time ago.

I'm realizing just in this very moment, I forgot to look up what episode it was. But sometime in the past, I did a quiz for you all where I gave you words and phrases that are entries in the Oxford English Dictionary. And I asked you to try and come up with what year is the earliest reference to that word or phrase. in the Oxford English Dictionary. All right, now again, to be clear, because there was a little confusion when I did this segment before. What this quiz is about is the earliest written reference

that the OED editors can find for this term. By definition, these words and phrases would have existed prior to that. So this year is not what year did this word, you know, get invented or passing in parlance, right? So again, by definition, These words would have risen to a level serious enough that they appear in writing somewhere, which is what the OED needs basically in its, you know, to substantiate its records. Okay.

So I remember the past. I think you had high five. Yes, that was the example I was going to use. That's great. A junk mail. Uh-huh. And dump truck. Yes.

Great memory, Karen. That's right. Now, I'm not trying to trick you, but I will say some of these words may be older than you think. some may be newer than you think. Some, it's really just a question of how well can you reason out the circumstances of the word and the history. The closest to the year will get one point. You can both get a point if there's a tie.

If you get the year exactly, I will give you two points. So you're going to be writing down a year. All right. So I think we have enough throat clearing out of the way. Again, I have one more throat clearing. Okay. All right. We give points and stuff.

And it doesn't really mean anything. and the one time that it meant something, I never got my prize. Oh, no. Was from Chris's quiz about international McDonald's items. And he said the winner could get a hash brown for McDonald's. And I never got my hash brown for the record. You all heard a hash brown.

Okay, all right. Come on, bro. All right. He's going to door dash one hash round. One hash brown, exactly. Right, you're going to wake up in the morning. It's going to have been delivered at like 9 o'clock the night before. If I had your address, I would just do it now, like, while we were recording, so we'd get there, like, because they're, you know they're open and they're door dashing.

All right, here we go. So, first one, I'll try and give you guys maybe a couple that are sort of in your wheelhouses to get you warmed up. I want you to tell me when the term video game. Oh, that's not fair. What is the earliest cited written reference to the, to the term video game recorded in the OED? Now you can, you know, use your knowledge of the history, the industry, technology. You can be earlier or later. You don't have to do, we're not doing it.

Right. Yeah, exactly. I'm not trying to get it. We're just looking for the smallest delta. That's right. That's something in there. Mm-hmm. All right.

Answers up. Video game. Earliest entry. Karen has written 1965. Chris has written 1972. Chris very close to the mark. 1973. Okay.

Point to Chris Kohler. So that is one year after the original release of Pong, essentially. Yes. Here is the reference. This is from Cashbox in 1973. Oh, sure. Two new Allied amusement products began shipping to distributors last Thursday, a video game called Paddle Battle and a machine gun target novelty called Rapid Fire. All right, 1973.

Point to Chris. That makes sense. The release of a game and then you have reports writing about the release of the game. Well, they've got to call it something. That's right. Right. So, like, how do you, what do you call it? If you're my grandfather, you call it a TV game, which is what he called.

Really? To the end of his life. Yes, he called them TV games. Yeah. Karen, I know you were in with the skater crowd when you were younger. When do you, and Chris, when do you guys think the term face plant, face plan? Nice. Wow.

Which they define as slang, chiefly North American, a face first fall into or onto something. Face plant. I've done a face plant. admit it on my own. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Amazingly, I didn't break my nose or anything, but yeah, it was pretty brutal. All right. Oh, wow. Oh, okay. All right. I like, oh, I love it. You guys. Okay. Chris has written 1925. Karen has written 1929. Karen, you are closer. You're both, you're both several decades away. However, you are closer, Karen. The OED cites their first entry that they can find from 1980. from the Toronto Globe and Mail has a reference to face plant in quotes.

That's that's the great thing about looking out some of these citations is, you know, very often at earlier the first reference they can find it. It'll still be in quotes because, you know, you as an audience may not have heard of these so-called face plant. Yeah. And it really, it really, that really came from skateboarding. It seems like it seems like it came from ice skating. originally, yeah.

I was thinking baseball. I was thinking like vaudeville. You know what I mean? Oh, like Pratt Falls. Oh, I love that. Yeah. I love it. I love it.

Right. And again, again, word could be circulating in various subcultures before then. All right. Wait, so someone face planted the ice? Yeah. Yeah. That's not good. How about, how about smoothie?

Smoothie in the in the in this sense of a smooth, thick drink consisting of fresh fruit, especially banana, pureed with milk, yogurt, or ice cream, chiefly U.S. and Australia. This has got to be smoothie. You cannot walk down the streets of any major city in America without being offered a smoothie. All right. Answers up. Karen has written 1989. Chris has written 1983.

I love you. You guys are in sync on a lot of these. Chris, you're the closest here, but a little late. 97, earlier than I would have guessed. But, yeah, not by much. I was thinking the early 80s health bad, exactly, jazzer size. Yep, yep. Yep.

Yeah, leggings, tab soda, right. So where did it show up? It's in an article from the Washington Post. talking about basically some fast food options available at a restaurant, you know, like onion rings, yogurt, and then, and a fruit drink called a, quote, smoothie. Again, smoothie is it, yeah, in quotes. And it's not trademarked, right? Nobody has, like, nobody has it. Sorry, it's not copyrighted, right? Correct. We went to Jamba Juice because the kids wanted something to drink at the mall. And my wife was like, go see if they have, like, you know, apple juice at Jamba Juice. And they do

not. They won't serve it to you? No, they don't have that. They have a $9, you know, blended concoction of like mango and orange, uh, which the child had two sips of and I threw out $8.50, you know, worth it. Dad life. The worst is cotton candy. Because they see it. They're like, wow, cotton candy looks so good. And you're like, okay, here's a $12 thing. of air and sugar. They eat two bites and they're like, eh. Especially galling, like, if you

have ever made cotton candy yourself. Right. Because it's like, it's the smallest amount of sugar. Right. It's a little quarter teaspoon of sugar. My kids eat the whole thing. So it's like, yeah, you want cotton candy?

Sure. It's like eating a cert. You know? It's like, I was passing by a comedy club in Paris, France, of all places when I added this entry to this quiz.

When do you think the term amateur hour? Amateur hour? Okay. What's the earliest reference? And what might the context be? Now, I encourage you to think about this one a little bit here. Yeah, amateur hour. Okay, I've...

And the definition here, I'll give you the definition if you want, originally U.S., on radio, television, etc., a time slot in which... which amateur entertainers perform, also in extended use, a period characterized by a lack of professionalism. Whoa. Inept, disorganized or chaotic.

Yes. Amateur hour. All right. I feel like it's too late now. Okay. All right. Okay. Answers up.

No, I love how you guys are thinking. Karen with the point here. Karen has written 1937. Chris wrote 1945. Actually, the earliest reference they can find is 1920. 25, Aaron, for a radio program, which was an amateur hour radio slot. Yeah, when you said radio, it's like, oh, okay, this is like early, early 20th century, yeah. All right.

I was surprised, honestly, a little bit to see that this one was in the OED, but it sure is. What do you think is their earliest citation for the word noob, no, nub. N-O-O-B. Nob means exactly what you think it does. Slang, originally, and often in online context, a person new or inexperienced in a particular sphere of activity. Now, I would hope that the OED is counting uses of this that are N-0-0. But we'll see. I have a year.

I think you guys are going to be really close on this one, I hope. All right. Chris has written 1993, Karen, nine years later, has written 2002. Chris, your closest on this one, a little bit early. 1995 is what OED has their earliest reference. I dated it to the debut of Wired Magazine. Ah. Because if I think of that appearing in, you know, who would put that in print first? Early 90s Wired.

So I don't know where it actually appeared, but... Not only is Noob in the OED, but their reference is from a Usenet News Group. So it's written and it's recorded and timestamped and, you know... Just online. That's right. It's just online. I chuckled at this. It is from a thread or a comment in the thread on the Usenet group, rec. Dot music.

Dot fish, the bandfish. Oh, wow. So it's not even a video game term. It's like this person is a fish newbie. You got it. That's right. That's right. Fish fans, man.

Dedicated. Ringtone. Ringtone. This is one of those words that had a, of course, a resurgence in the mid-2000s. Ringtone. The original, the original earliest written reference to ringtone. I mean, you can, you know, think about the technology. involved, maybe.

All right, answers up. Karen has written 1932. Chris has written 1970. Karen gets the point. 1921. Ah, okay. Yes. I figured it would be instructions on how a phone receiver works.

Yes, right. That's precisely what it is. It's an article from the Kansas City Star from 1921, basically describing and narrating how, hey, how to use a telephone. Right. All right. Last one. Closest to the year gets the point.

Last one. What is the earliest reference in the OED to the term? Social media. Oh, God. In the way we use it. Yes. So, yes, meaning websites and applications which enable users to create and share content or to participate in social networking

as they have it. Answers up. Hold on, hold on. Okay. Okay. Answers up. Karen has written 2000. Chris has written 2009.

Point to Karen, the year is 1994. What are they describing? This is from online magazine. And the citation they have. Here's the quote. What attracted librarians to the internet for some cybernots, Usenet, IRC, and the other social media of the net are the hook. Oh, IRC.

Yes. So right along with IRC and Usenet is right there. Right. So Karen, with the point there. Here we go. Nice. Bring it up for a come from behind. Still lost, but not by as much.

So you're really on the same mental track there for a lot of these, which I like. For a lot of them, yeah. Good job. But thinking about it from different ways, like clubbill versus baseball. Okay, folks, get those barnyard buzzers ready. It's got a buzz in quiz. It, too, is a sequel back in episode 200. I did a quiz called Opening Numbers.

I would open with a number from a Broadway show. that was maybe a little bit obscure, a Broadway B-side, and then start naming other songs from the same show until maybe by the end it got a little more obvious what the show is

from the names of the numbers and then you would buzz in, you would guess what Broadway show I am listing musical numbers from and earn a point somewhere. Yes. Karen was kind enough to let me win a couple points

on the last one, I think. Maybe, you know what, Colin? So maybe there's some you can take on this one. I don't know. I've tried to vary it up a little bit. So maybe Colin is going to get some of these. Maybe not, but for our- Such a beaming smug smile on my face. Well, it's for you. It's for all our, it's for all our Broadway-loving listeners out there. Opening numbers, part two, Collins got jazz hands happening. Let's do it. Get those barnyard buzzers ready. Here we go. I will start naming musical numbers.

Sorry, I don't have a buzzer. I have my accordion. Okay, so you'll play a little Broadway number to buzz in, which you may be doing a lot of, so let's see. Here we are, first show, first number, first show. Not the first number in the show, but the first one I'm going to read, which is more obscure. Let's go. I am here for you. Orlando.

Karen. That is Book of Mormon. That is Book of Mormon. I am here for you. Orlando. I am Africa. Hasadiga Iboi and spooky Mormon hell dream were the five if it took us that long to get there. Books of Mormon. Point from Karen. To fill you in, their missionaries. His dream place to be sent to was Orlando. And that didn't work out. Yeah. My wife has played the soundtrack. I've been around while it's been on. It didn't sink in, I guess. But okay. Right. All right. Right. Okay. Next show.

because there are many many parts right there's 12 brothers and so each kid can sing they can sing choir so it's supposed

to be like an all school Oh, I didn't realize that. It's necessarily like a Broadway musical, but it was done more like a schoolroom kind of activity. I like that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Interesting. Everybody gets a part because there's so many parts.

I did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Woo! I feel good now. That went about the way I thought it was going to go. But I still had to do it because I'm like this is my idea. Well, we're going to take a break so I can gloat more for a little bit. And we'll be right back.

Good job brain. This week is our season finale, but it's also our all-quiz. My turn. Before I get into my quiz, I just want to share something that I've been really into this past few weeks, months. Has it been that long? I'm going to reveal it to the camera, and then I'll talk about it. Listeners can't see, but here it is. It's coming to the camera.

Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. I love boo-boo. And I know what that is. An orange Labubu with, I put little nerdy glasses on this Labubu because it's my good job brain Labubu. Karen, I thought of you, there was, it was just, it was just this past week. There was an article, I think, of the New York Times. If it's made the New York Times, then it's like, now it's being explained to everybody's

relevance, right? So in case you don't know what Labibu is, Labu is, it is a toy that's kind of a key chain. It's like you're supposed to put it on your bag. And what it is is, it looks like a rabbit. but really it's like a forest creature that's that's very mischievous who's a girl uh adults love them kids love them they all want them super hard to get there's not a la boo boo-boos yeah yeah there's a series of laboos there's versions and generations of laboos i got into it because i went back to taiwan to visit my dad and every morning when i went to go get breakfast i actually lived by a pop mart which is a

Chinese company. They're the ones who make these toys. And I would go get breakfast at like 7 a.m. And I'm like, what are these people doing sitting on the sidewalk? Like, what are they doing? What are they lining up for? It's got to be something. Yeah. It's got to be something good. And I realized they were all waiting for a pot mart to open. And I was like, well, why? Well, they're getting a loboos. What really made them explode is Lisa from Black Pink, big K-pop group. People spotted her, having Labibu's on her bag and she really like propelled it into this global phenomenon. So every day in Taiwan when I went to go get breakfast at 7 a.m.,

I would see people starting to line up at the store. The store doesn't even open until like 9 or 9.30. They're just like camping out. And finally on the last day in Taiwan, I was like, you know what? I'm going to go line up and see what happens. And I lived up and I got a Laboo. And then I came back to America and it's starting to get popular and now it's super popular.

They come in a set of six. You get the box. You get all of the types. But they also make a secret chaser. It's only one in a 72 chance that you get it. And so this is what has been driving me crazy for the last couple of months. You just have the collector's mindset that all three of us have. It's the thrill and the curse.

of just like, I got to, I got to have that one. I got to have that one. And we've all been there. You spend as much time maintaining the hobby as enjoying the hobby. You know what I mean? I'll tell you, I did pull what they call a secret, which is a chaser. And I will never, ever forget that feeling. It was a natural organic pool, what they call them pools, when you pull them out of the box.

I pulled it out and I gasp. I just like, and I've been chasing. that high ever ever since. But this quiz is not about Labuboos. What is also interesting about Labuboos is Lafoufus. Lafoufus. Fake

Labuobo. Is that what they landed on as the term for a fake one? Not La Bootleg? Oh, Laboot Boot Boots. La bootlegs. La bootlegs. Why wasn't I consulted?

The Lafoufu culture. is hilarious because you have all of these places selling knockoffs. I saw in New York City just wandering until like a random toy search. So many fake ones. In a weird way, they're kind of loved. Like people actually kind of enjoy them because they're fake and because they're funny. Because they printed the eyes wonky or their faces upside down or their hand fell off or their ears are weird.

I used to see this with like a Star Wars figure collecting back when I was more. and that like you'll see some of these just hilarious knockoffs some of them aren't quite valuable in their own right now just because yeah anyways so here i've made a quiz inspired by lafoufus about dupes about fakes about copies about clone culture and such let's do a write-down quiz all right okay a couple of questions here about fakes, dupes, copies, copy culture, clone culture. Here we go. Doc Holliday. Country doctor. Dr. Perky. Mr. Sip.

Professor Fizz, physicist, and Dr. Gabb are all knock-offs of a specific soda, famously associated with what U.S. state. Oh. I have any cross-s. Okay. Oh, you guys were like, oh, I know. All right, all right. Just read the list again.

Country doctor. Dr. Perky. Mr. Sip. With two peas. With two peas. Yeah. Professor Fizz. I like how they kept the, it's like, oh, they got a doctorate degree, so we're going to keep Professor Fis.

Yeah, yeah. Physicist, as in F-I-Z physicist and Dr. Gap are all knockoffs of a specific soda, famously associated with what U.S. state answers up, please. Colin has put Texas, Chris has put Georgia. It is Texas. Really? Yeah. Texas.

Waco, Texas. Very loud and proud about their Dr. Pepper. The real thing and all of these are. There are so many. There are more Dr. Pepper knockoffs than there are for any other soda types. Well, it's because you have like generic cola, it's just like cola. Yeah. straight or seven up it's like lemon line but like for that flavor what do you call that yeah used to be called a waco give me a can of waco uh question number two hard to believe legos initially was a knockoff

england-based toy store and company kitty craft was the first to use injection molding technology to manufacture what's called self-locking building bricks the inventors of legos saw a sample copied it made their own version yep yeah but they actually got a sample from the injection molding supplier on their website they talk about the history of it that this was copied from kitty crap but tell me the danish name lego translates to what in english all right answers up chris you can just give me a wild guess Chris has put expensive, and Colin has put, I build. Oh, it means play good. Oh, good, good guess.

Good, good. Okay, this is a Chris leaning question. The great Gianna sisters, most notably, is a clone while being legally distinct from what beloved title? The Great Gianna Sisters Is most notably a clone While Being Legally Distinct From what beloved title The Great Gianna Sisters

Yeah Great Gianna Sisters A blatant Ripoff All right Hmm Answers up Colin Pope

Mario Brothers and Chris put Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros. Yes, of course. I should have really thought about that more. The original version looks a whole lot like Super Mario Brothers. They look like women. Yes, Gianna has a sister, Maria. So it's like that's the Luigi. She's her Luigi. Yes. They had to be legally distinct. So when they eat a mushroom, they don't grow big

because they grow spiky hair. So it's so it's, it's so wide. It's just a lot of conversations about, like, what's the smallest change we can legally get away with? Right, right. Question number four. In the classic comedy, coming to America, Prince Akeem worked at what restaurant? A blatant power buff of McDonald's. They have the Golden Arch. Yeah.

We have the Golden Arks. Their uniforms are like a reference to Scotland. with the little tartan and the hat-y, the tarty. Chris has put McDougals. Collin has put McDowels. It is McDowels. All right, question number five. Though not technically a knockoff,

there are many companies and products that strategically use similar names of other companies to capitalize off of their success, including this technology company who made car radios, who first made car radios. Can you reread? Yes, though not technically a knockoff. There are many companies and products that strategically use similar names of other companies

to capitalize off of their success, including this company who made car radios. Car radio. But with a name capitalizing off somebody else. Car radio is your big clue If you turn that into a name What would it be? I have a guess. I'm not going to change it. We'll see. Okay.

Okay. Who first made car radios. Okay, okay, okay, okay. Okay. I think I have a guess I can justify here. Okay, all right, okay. Chris has put sorenny, like Sony, soorney. I know a genuine sorny when I. Call it is correct.

It is motor rolla. Motor victrola. Oh, I see. Okay, okay. Motor victrola. Of course, the phonograph made by a Victor company. This is like a victrola for your car. A motor victrola, motorola.

It shows how far back that was, too, right? I mean, when like the general populace would know what victrola was. Yeah. Wow. All right. Next question. what 2013 game became the most cloned game

in Apple's App Store over 60 clones a day during the height of its popularity Okay Let me read again What 2013 game became the most Cloned game in Apple's App Store With over 60 clones a day

Okay I am A hundred percent I am pretty confident that I commissioned and edited an article about this phenomenal. Oh, all right, all right. They feel very good about it. I have high confidence, but not as high as Chris, I'm sure.

Colin has put Flappy Bird. Chris has put Flappy Bird. You're correct. Flappy Bird. Kind of a roller coaster ride. It was super popular. Then the developer took it away, which created this kind of vacuum. And people are like, we got to have more Flappy Bird.

And everybody and their mom made a clone of Flappy Bird. In an article from The Guardian, they documented. documented between the day, the day of February 26th to 27th, in that 24-hour span of time, there were 95 iOS releases of flappy bird clones, including floppy spongy, scrappy bird, Tweety, Hi, Fly. This is my favorite. Fly Fly Birdie Saga, which is like getting the Candy Crush Saga in too in the name. Maybe you're searching for Saga. They'll take,

yeah, they'll take your search too. Flap brids. Flap brids. We did this thing where, how quickly can you make a flappy bird clone? So Ryan Rigney, who is the author, who now, I just checked, he now works for Andreessen Horowitz.

He worked for me when he was like a, I think he was a teenager still, maybe when he, maybe it was like 20 years old. You could buy a flappy bird clone app that had the rights, you know, essentially it was rolled up with the rights that you could just, you could release it. It's like a turnkey app, basically. A turnkey thing, get the turnkey thing, pop in your own graphics, you had the right

to release that on score. So we actually, he did the whole thing and he's like, it took me half a day basically of work and release a flappy bird clone, like with my head as the, as the flappy bird. And that's, they made it very easy to do that. I found the story. How to make a number one app with $99 and three hours of work. Wow. You don't need to be a programmer to break into the app store's top charts.

All you need is $100 and a free afternoon. I was very proud of us doing this story. Yeah. Didn't Apple somewhat kind of try and clamp down on just the number of clones on successful games after that? Yeah. Yeah. They actually started to ban all apps that had the word flap or flappy in it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, next question. One of the most duped handbags in the world is this bag that experts say it's a better investment than gold. Oh, geez. Please give me the designer brand and the make or style of the bag. Oh, okay, okay, okay. Yes. One of the most duped, revered, wanted, needed, counterfeited bags in the bag.

the world has a name this is from fortune experts say could be a better investment than gold because it increases value it's a store of value all right what brand and style interesting i feel pretty good about this one i do not watch sex in the city you probably yeah okay yep yep yep it's like i don't i don't watch that show never seen that show but uh it's very hard to get It has long wait list. They don't make that many. Right, right, right. It's part of the scarcity.

And they cost a lot, a lot. I'm sure I've heard of the brand. Okay, all right. Ah, this is just like the Wagon Queen family truckster. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, exactly. Right, yeah, pretty much. Chris has put PBS tote bag.

I know if you donate. NPR tote bag. Ooh, he's got a 78 NPR. Yeah. Colin has put the Irmez-Burkin bag. You are correct. The Hermes-Berkin. Burkin.

Is that talked about on sex in the city? Because Samantha really wanted one. Oh, okay. But there's a wait list. It's very hard to get. Yeah, yeah, yeah. How many 500-word columns that she had to write to get one of those? Three.

That's Carrie, Chris. Samantha's her friend. Final question in this LaFu-Fu-inspired fake dupe quiz. Perhaps the most famous margarine brand out there is, I can't believe it's not butter. Yeah, all-time great names. The name came from a comet from like a husband of an employee at the J.H. Philbert Company, and the popularity and the ridiculousness of the name spawned a whole bunch of margarine names of incredulous statements. Right, right, right.

Including taste like butter. You'd think it's butter Unbelievable this is not butter What not butter Wow I totally thought it was butter No that was all in the label There's just sounding more and more like Anime titles the more yeah

Could it be butter Move over butter And there's a Canadian brand Which is Memories of Butter That's great I like memories of but that's that's the winner that's incredible I'm just imagining just someone looking out the window you know like ah memory it's like like like seeing a sort of a hazy image of butter

yeah over the moors yeah right right yeah honestly though my favorite is could it be butter because you're you're kind of leaving the question hanging there You're like, I don't know. Maybe, are you sure this isn't butter? I can't have dairy. Can you tell me? Is it or not?

Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's not not butter? Yeah, yeah. Does this taste like butter to you? All right. Here's the trivia question. Oh, I'm crying.

Margarine gets its name. From the Greek word for what? Based on its shimmery luster. Huh. Oh. So the full name is oleo margarine. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Ollio means oil.

Uh-huh. What does margarine mean? Oh, interesting. While you guys think about it. So, you know, margarine is a vegetable oil product. Like the raw color is white. Whereas butter is yellow because cows eat grass and there's beta-carotene and that makes butter yellow. And so when margarine was getting popular, the dairy farmers were like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, like getting kind of nervous. And they had some sort of law or restriction pass that the margarine people can't color their margarine.

Oh, okay. Yellow to have that butter appeal. And so margarine makers would then make a little packet of food dye meant for you to put the dye, you yourself. And mix it in. And mix it in so that you have yellow margarine. Yes, I have heard that. Did we talk about that in one of our previous three hundred episodes? That really feels familiar. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I vaguely remember that, yeah.

The problem with this, doing this. With this, for doing this for so long. All right, anyways, answers up, please. All right, well, I'm just going, I'm just keying into shimmery and not yellow. Yeah, I always said shimmery, lustrous. I kind of put this. Oh, Chris put sunshine. and Colin put pearls you are kind of yeah wow wow really the Greek word for pearls when you when you mentioned that it couldn't be I had already written down pearls just based on shimmery but then when you mentioned that originally it had to be not yellow or sometimes was not yellow that kind of is what made it click for me oh leo margarine oily pearls is what is what they're okay or pearl oil or pearl oil okay yeah pearl oil okay yeah pearl oil is better. Yeah, pearl oil is better.
