You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, Dandy and definitely daring data, darlings. Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 40, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are your magnificent, my Nusha Mining Mines and Mouths. Yeah. I'm Colin. I'm Dana.

I'm Chris. So there are some things that I want to talk about in our last episode, which is about smells, that I really quickly want to share with you before today's show. And so I found out that the military have been developing and trying to research on using smells as a weapon. And we talked about in our torture episode, Chris, you mentioned about pumping in loud music as some sort of torture or punishment. And guess what?

The military has been used. using smells or developing ways to maybe use that as a weapon. The death odor. Stink bombs, basically stink bombs on a military scale. They're actually called maloderance, like maloerance, have actually been used as far back as World War II. And American scientists develop a stink weapon, and they're trying to use it against Nazi soldiers.

And the idea is that they can just spray them with the really bad poopy smell. In recent years, the American military have been looking at ways to detect enemies by smell. So they've hired a lot of scientists in this field trying to maybe find out a way to detect like submarines underwater. And so, yeah, very weird. Stinky postscript. So today's episode is number 40. And you guys know what that means. All quiz.

All quiz. Yay. All quiz Bonanza number eight. Wow, we're up to eight. And so we each prepared a quiz segment. I'm trying to quiz each other. And you guys, the listeners, hopefully you'll enjoy that. But of course, we're going to start with our general trivia segment, which is pop quiz hot shot.

Here I have a random trivial pursuit card from the box. And here we go, Blue Wedge Geography. What Scottish Castle is the British Royal Family's long-time summer retreat? Wow. Hogwarts. I wish. Is it Edinburgh Castle? It is Balmora.

Oh, that's right, Dalmoral. Okay. Pink Wedge for pop culture. What game show did Joe Rogan host? Chris Culler. Fear Factor. Correct. Actually, I changed it.

It was what gross out game show. And I was like, ah, it's too easy. Yellow Wedge, what name was given to the political economic reforms made in the 1980s by Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev? That was Parastroika? Yes, Parastroika. Which meant, I think it, does it say I know what it meant? Nope. Make something up fast.

The question ends there. Purple Wedge, in what field of design would you encounter Kearning, Tracking and Justify. Oh, Colin Felton. Typography or font design. Correct. Green wedge for science. Wow, this card is like made for us.

What home video game console introduced in 2006 has wireless motion sensitive controllers that differentiate it from other gaming systems? All together? Wee. I admire your restraint and not just buzzing in at 2006, right? Thank you. Of course, see, PlayStation 3, also released in 2006, also has wireless motion sensing controllers. So, fail, trivia pursuit.

Actually. Last question, Orange Wedge. Which deck is higher on a ship? The quarter deck or the poop deck? Poop deck. Correct. Yes. I didn't actually know that.

Always been on poop. Always been on proud. Good job, everybody. and who wants to go first all quiz banana number eight I will go first I'll go first because I have some of these words

I'm actually my case called Dana's first quiz that goes first some of these things relate to the stuff we were just oh one of my things relates to the stuff we were talking about

but anyway so go ahead and then I'll okay so my quiz is inspired by lifted partially from a BuzzFeed article an excellent BuzzFeed article

I recommend called 27 everyday things you never knew had names Stappara. Think about things. Like a walk in the park. Things.

Like a kiss in the dark. Things. Like a sailboat ride. Yeah, yeah. What about the night we cry? Things. Like a love of spa things. They'll be done till now thinking about the things.

So I'm going to tell you the name or a word and you tell me what you think it means. And most of these you can kind of figure out, but it's weird that. There's a word for that. I love this. All right. You ready? Natiform. Carrie.

I actually know this. But you're right. It's in the shape of... A nut? Of a butt. Nautiform. Natiform? Natiform.

Butt shaped. It is. It's in the dictionary. I looked it up. It was like, why did no one tell me of this word before? So peaches looks like a butt. Brain. Brain kind of looks like a weird.

It sounds like trim spa or some sort of diet pill. It does, it does, yeah, some diet supplement. Nope, it means butt. Darkle. Darkle. Darkle. Darkle. So, yeah, whatever you're thinking, say.

There's almost like a point in Baldur-Dash. I'm going to guess it's the dark end of a banana. Does it mean to make something darker? Yes. Darkle it? It's the opposite of sparkle. Darkle. Like, what?

I know. Make it dark. Darkle. Darkle. To become dark. Like, at nighttime, it's darkle. Yeah. Why can't you just say darken?

Yeah, exactly. It's darkle. It's darkle. I want there to be an opposite to sparkle. What about rhinorrhea? Rineria. I think this one you can maybe dissect. Rhinos.

Well, rhino is nose. Yeah, Rhinera. Stuffy nose. No, no. Well, like, diarrhea. Runny nose. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Rineria. Good team effort on that one. Wow. Over morrow Over morrow Is it the day after tomorrow?

Yes No Wait officially That is the day That is very old timing It is So these ones are a little harder To get

You kind of just need to know But they're awesome words Zarf I actually God I've heard this word before I actually know this Because I had a Burning Curiosity

What it was called And I found out It's called Zarf I know this as And I've always always called this a Java jacket. Yes. It's that corrugated cardboard ring that you put

around a coffee cup. I really thought it was Java Jacket. I think that's a trademark term, isn't it? I think that there's a company and it's like Java Jacket TM kind of thing. Sarf is such a nightnees word. Sarf. Yeah, yeah. It's like from Thundercats. Snarf. Snarf. Snarf and Zarf.

Two more. NERDL. A nerdle. NERD.E. N-U-R-D-E-L-E. It's when the day gets nerdier. Cousin, close cousin of Sparkle and Darkl. You know what? Nerkle. I could write a story about how that's true.

Yeah. For the, what's this definition is called it? It's actually a tiny dab of toothpaste. A nerdle. A nirdle of toothpaste? Yeah. So you put precisely the amount of toothpaste you need on your teeth. Oh, right.

Some of these to me sound like Sniglitz. You guys remember Sniglitz from the 80s? Yeah, they just sort of ad hoc made up words to be funny. Right. Yeah. What about Grawlicks? Do you know what a G-R-L-I-X? Is that with I-X?

How is that spelled? G-R-A-W-L-I-X. Grawlix. Sounds like some sort of farm implement or something. And I'll tell you synonyms for it. Jarns, Niddles, quimp. Quim. I like quim better.

I give up on all of those. Okay, when it's an E-X, it's usually like body-related. I-X. I-X. Is it body-related? No. No, it's like the ampersand percentage sign, at sign in comics. Like when they're feeling frustrated, it's to show.

Swear words. Yeah. That's the quimp. The quimp. So they're growling maybe, the growlicks. All right, that's the words, darkle and sparkle. Those are like the names of two ponies. Sparkle and darkle.

We're a really bad cop show, darkle and sparkle. All right. Anyway, that's it. Very good. Well, hey, so speaking of the we, coincidentally, Nintendo released the Wii U, its new video game console on November 18th. And video game consoles don't really come out that often because it's a really complicated business. Without going into too much detail, you've not only got to produce the hardware,

but you've also got to have this very robust business producing software, like exclusive software for your machine. So you've got to do them both together. And typically the way that the industry has been run is, you know, the company basically just gives away the hardware or sells it at cost or even way below cost and then makes that money up on the software. A loss later. And so you typically, you just don't see a lot of companies making video game consoles because even though it's a big business and a really lucrative one, it can be very, very

difficult. You need a lot of capital to get off the ground. And even if you have all the money in the world, like you can't necessarily make that ecosystem something that's profitable loops back in itself. But the thing is, nearly every major toy. company, electronics company at some point, if you're a big multinational corporation that's in either electronics or games or toys, you've tried it. You've tried it

because you want some of that fat video game loot. And so, I'm going to give a video game console quiz. Yes, exactly. Failed video game hassle. So I'm going to give you the company, and you're going to tell me the name of the failed video game console I produced. Might be a little bit difficult, but in either way

it's going to be educating. All right. It's going to start easy. It's going to get harder. All right. Oh, man. So, Mattel. What?

This is going to be a tough quiz. Yeah, I was like, I can't think of any film or not Belgium. These people are all in the video game ministry. Mattel. Was it? Colin. Was it something with Barbie? No.

No. In fact, the people who are making this console always complained that they could never get Mattel corporate to let them make a Barbie game. They made He-Man games on this system, and they used other Mattel properties, but they were never allowed to touch Barbie. It was the Intellivision. No. Because it seems like the right time frame. Don't censor

yourself. I didn't think about that one as a failed system. I thought that was like... Well, you know, again, they made the one system. They gave it a shot, but then it all collapsed, and they were never able to stay in that business. All right. Yeah, let's not censor ourselves. Yeah, okay. Okay. Panasonic. Was that the 3DO?

That was the 3DO. Okay. So the 3DO was actually, it was a company called 3DO, and they licensed, their big idea was. They would make the software and they would license out the rights, like the schematics, essentially, to make the hardware platform to big manufacturers. It didn't work because the big manufacturers had to sell it at a big price. So the 3DO costs like $600, $700,000 versus like the PlayStation, which cost $300. Right, right. I remember it being a really price.

It was super expensive because Panasonic didn't sell you any software. They didn't have that extra little model to make the money off of. So they had to make the money, and then the retailer took its cut, and they priced it like an expensive component. It was like they were like white labeling. Yeah, Gold Star was the other company that manufactured a 3DO. Phillips. Karen. CDI.

Yes. Phillips made that CDI or CD interactive. CDI was a format, you know, that was competing with the CD-ROM in the early days. You know, the trade magazines were like, oh, now there's CDI and CD-ROM, which one of them will win, as it turns out, CD-ROM. One for a bit. Magnavox. Hmm.

This is actually the first video game system. Oh. It was the name of the first home video game system. We talked about this. I know. Yeah. Something space runner, space lander, space lander, moon attack, moonland. Well, the name of the, the,

name of the home system. Yeah. It's the Magnapox Odyssey. Audit. It's the first ever video game system. Wait, Space Odyssey or just Odyssey? No, just Odyssey. Well, you were taking us down a dark road.

Well, no, Colin was getting there somewhere. Yeah, exactly. Pre-association you would have got it, eventually. That was actually the first video game console, but just not a success. It was just sort of over-engineered, very expensive, and then basically a few years later, Atari came out with Home Pong, which was cheap, just did one thing, and it was very mainstream. Got it.

Nokia. Collin. The N-Gage. The N-Gage. The taco phone. Very ill-fated attempt to build an early, you know, mid-part of the 2000s to build a gamer-centric phone, which had all kinds of problems. The first version, you actually had to open up the battery cover and remove the battery

out of your N-Gage to swap out the game, the game cartridge. That's just good design. Oh, horrible. Pioneer. Oh. Pioneer. Oh, man. It was woodpiled.

I remember the boxes. I remember the game box. Was it on their Laserdisc platform? It was, yes. Yes. Do you remember the name of this? I don't, but I remember. So, it was called the Laser Active.

Yes, okay. And it actually, it was the only, well, there was another very obscure one, but it was the major system that actually played games that were stored on laser disks. And these, you know, these games very early on would have full screen video, basically. but of course the types of games you could play with these things were not exactly great we had them at school I remember that really there was an educational game we played it was like a mystery thing oh yeah it was kind of well suited I mean if I remember it was well suited to games like dragons there right where they were really cinematic but simple choices

I mean dragons layer was just a laser disc video player and then by picking up down left right or hitting a button takes you the next scene he just took you to the next video scene exactly right Bradley. Oh. This was an early game system that had its own screen. It had a very different type of graphics than typical video game systems. Oh, is it the vector graphics set up? What was that called?

Oh, God. It was called the Vectrex. Vectrix. Yes. I remember that. I remember that system. By Milton Bradley. Well, it was invented by a company called General Computer, which was later bought by Milton Bradley.

Got it. And that was the one that... It was early 80s. And that wasn't had like its fake little, like a mini... arcade cabinet, right? Yeah, so it looked like an arcade cabinet. It actually had a vector graphics monitor, the kind of graphics have on asteroids built in. And so it was self-contained. You just plugged it in and got to play it. Vector graphics, if you look at asteroids, they were very finely detailed in a way that typical raster scan video game graphics. You couldn't make pixels

that small yet, but they were black and white. It's so funny because, of course, you have your super high-tech companies like Phillips or Pioneer, and then you have your game companies all trying to come up with a game system. all kind of intersect at this weird crossroads. Yeah, yeah. And failing. If it's a major electronics company, they probably try it at some point and failed hard. Apple.

Not the iPod touch, but that was the Pippin. It was, yes, the Apple Pippin. It was basically sort of like a Macintosh computer that was sort of, you know, made into a game system. And it was actually marketed in Japan, mostly. And it was also CD-based, right? It was, yeah. Oh, Pippin like the Apple Pippin. Yeah, exactly.

Get it. Yeah. Called Fuji. They didn't call the Granny Smith, yeah. Okay, we're getting harder now. Last two. Oh, we're getting harder now? Yes, we are.

We actually are. RCA. Oh. This is way tough. Well, the only, I mean, I'm just trying to think of systems you haven't named yet. Yeah. So, RCA, the old record company, did the RCA Studio 2. It was video game system, and it was a huge failure.

The only controls were number pads, like, like, one through zero number pads built into the console. I'm already bored with it. So you had to play Pong by pressing, like, keys on a calculator. What year was this? It was like 70s or 80s? No, this was late 70s, early 80s. Yeah, it was around the time of the Atari 2,600, was just, yeah, just steamroll it.

To them, the debate about joysticks and, like, having buttons just for movement was still an open question. Yeah, exactly. It hadn't been decided yet. They were like, I like numbers. Numbers are funny. Everything was still open the year. This was when a Pong system had just knobs on the common. console itself. It didn't have joysticks, right? And finally, again, educational, Memorex.

Oh my gosh. Memorex. Like the tape. Like the tape. The tape and the memory. Yeah. Man, I don't know. So it was called the Memorex video information system. And it was actually themed around edutainment games. But again, huge, huge failure. Any big games that came out? No. No. That was one of them where it was just like, the whole, I mean, typically a game console, like there'll be like one game at least you know even on a failed failed console just the proof of concept some of these the MREX video

information system that doesn't even sound like games at all it was it was things like a research tool Sherlock Holmes whatever game that you played when you were in school on laser active it was stuff of that nature yeah yeah wow that was hard that was hard and we're children of the 80s and our gamers well hey you know

I had the mainstream ones yeah my parents bet on the correct Yeah, so many billions of dollars poured into these boondoggles And now they are They're not even trivia questions Because they're too hard to be Right They're obscure

They're sub-trivial level Like how they were getting harder And it was just like Equal level of like Yeah, yeah right No idea Colgate Total is more than just your favorite toothpaste

It's dedicated to advancing oral health The new Colgate Total Active Prevention System features a reformulated toothpaste, innovative toothbrush and a refreshing anti-bacterial mouthwash all designed to work together to fight the root cause of common oral health issues

on the ease level here. I have one that I feel confident you guys can blow right through here. So we're going to do this one. Break us down. and throw it in to build you back up. It's called, What letter am I saying?

What color is an orange? This quiz is called As Seen on TV. Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came. You want to be where you can see.

Troubles are all the same. You want to be. and so you will be quite rewarded if you know your 80s and 90s sitcoms and TV shows Wow, okay. I was going to be on infomercials I was like, oh sweet. So the theme of this quiz is many, many, many, many sitcoms, mostly sitcoms,

but other shows too, have a central hangout or a bar or a restaurant where the characters gather. Sometimes the bar or restaurant may be part of the theme of the show. Like some of the characters run it. All right. So I'm going to name the venue. the food venue and you tell me what TV show

from the 80s or 90s it is featured in and I expect this will be sort of lightning rounds so get your buzzers ready so for example if I were to say Moe Tavern

you would say the Simpsons All right here we go Central Perk Friends Friends It is the coffee shop on Friends Monks Diner Chris

Seinfeld It is the coffee shop on Seinfeld For bonus points Do you know what real life diner they used for the exterior shots in New York. Is it called like the Brownstone something?

It is called Tom's diner. And for extra, extra, extra, extra bonus points, that is the Tom's diner in the Suzanne Vega song. Yeah. Yes. So those are you just extra bonus points? I'm sorry.

Are those extra bonus points you're just awarding to yourself? To the ether. Just for Colin. It's all I build Colin up time. I got really torn down in that video game quiz. Okay.

All right, here we go. Back to the quiz. All right. The Peach Pit. Karen. Beverly Hills 9-021-0. Correct. And it later morphed into, do you know, the name that they changed it into?

No, I didn't even know they changed it. Well, so they opened up the nightclub. The Pete Club. They turned it into Peach Pit After Dark for the nightclub next door. Okay. Sounds super cool. Edna's Edibles. Oh.

Dana. This is Facts of Life. It is Facts of Life. Yes, Edna's Edibles was Mrs. Garrett's bake shop. Edna Garrett. The Regal Beagle Dana This is Cheers

But classic 70s Into 80s sitcoms It is 3's company Yes That was the pub they would all hang out at the regal beagle beagle what the bar was from three's company i would have known it was the bigel biggle but i couldn't back link it all right well here's what i'm confident you'll get

Oh that sounds familiar This one was not a straight sitcom But it definitely had comedic elements I don't know Set in the South Chris Designing women No no not of that guest

No not designing women Dukes of Hazard? Yes. Dukes of Hazard. That's where Daisy Duke worked. Yeah, owned by Boss Hog. That's right. That's right.

Oh, that makes sense. Boss Hogg. All right. Last one. And this one is a little bit of a trick. Melville's seafood restaurant. A little tricky. And I'll give you a hint.

We did not typically see the interior of this restaurant, but it was featured on a sign inside the restaurant that we would see that made it less hard karen fraser no not fraser sounds like seattle we actually mentioned it earlier melville seafood was the restaurant above cheers oh so in the back of the set there's the staircase that would lead up to melville's and there's a sign on the wall that says melville's this way yeah tricky tricky nice quiz very good good job guys dude i was sitting here with my finger on the buzzer waiting for the max oh the max yeah for what saved by the bow oh Karen, you mentioned Frazier. Just for completeness, that was McGinty's, I believe.

Good job, guys. Wow, that was a good quiz. The wriggle-beagle, man. Was that Cheers? No, Cheers was Cheers. All right, time for my quiz. And my quiz is called Quite the Character. Let's do literature, a round of literature.

Literature, bo-witterature, but... Banana-benefiture. Me, my, miniature. Literature. Wow, we really saw that one through to completion. So what I'm going to do is I have some classic literature or iconic popular books. I'm going to read out five characters from the story, from very obscure to very, very iconic. Okay, so we buzz in as soon as we know.

Yes. And at the end, I'll read out all of the five. Okay. So I'm going to start reading out characters and tell me. what literature work these characters were featured in. Here we go, number one. Mustard seed.

Peter Quince. Lysander. A midsummer night's dream. Correct. So mustard seed is one of the fairies. Peter Quince was the drama carpenter troop leader. Lysander is one of the lovers.

Titania, the Queen. of fairies and of course most iconic would probably be puck right that's good very good job written by dan bratt that's right bill shakespeare shakas parari here we go number two atalanta castor pollux medea and the most iconic is jason Just Jason and the Argonauts? Correct. I didn't know the name of the... Jason and the Argonauts.

Adalanta is the only female crew member of the ship. And Cassar and Pollux. I remember Cassar and Pollock. The name is his brothers. Medea is Jason's wife and, of course, Jason. All right. Here we go. Number three.

Cadmus Peveral. Electo Caro. Colin Crevy It just went right over Harry Potter and the Harry Potter what I know, please be specific It is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Incorrect Is it the last one? Yes, it is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollow I thought Colin Crevy was one year in front of Oh, the other one so okay So Cadmus Peverell is one of the brothers Yeah, Electo Caro is one of that the pair that was ruling Hogwarts.

Colin Crevy made a lot of appearances throughout the whole story. My next one was Belatrix La Strange. And then, of course, Harry Potter. I'm glad we didn't have to get to that. All right. Here is number four. A little bit of a classic. Arthur Shelby.

Topsy. Oh, gosh. Uncle Tom Skyev. Yes. Very good. So Arthur Shelby, Topsie, Eliza, Simon Legree, and then Uncle Tom. By Harry Beatrice. Correct.

Topsy is less obscure than you think it is. Yeah, but it's funny because a lot of these multicast kind of stories, you either have the really, really minor, or you have the memorable. So for Uncle Tom, it was like there was nobody really in the middle. So obviously, Eliza is your main character, but Uncle Tom would be. the one that would give it away. Right, right, right, right. Well, I think Simon Lickrida would give it away. Yeah.

But, yeah. All right. Here we go. Clove. Cato. Caesar Flickerman. Hunger Games. Correct.

Hunger Games. I did not. Clove and Cato being the tributes. Caesar Flickerman is the host. Gail Hawthorne is one of the male characters. And, of course, Catnus Everdeen. main character. Actually, I would have been able to get that one. That's the only character I know.

Just because she's in the movie trailers. You went, Gail, and not Pita. Yeah, I thought Pita and Katniss were kind of of the same level. Here we go. Felix Tholomeas. Gavroche. Oh, I knew it. You'd know it. Less miserables. Yes.

Le Miserables. Gavrash. Eponine, Fantine, and Jean Valjean. That's Jean Valjean. I'm pretty sure. Also, I came out of that show way more miserable than I was going in. Oh. Now, so this is actually based on Victor Hugo book, not actually the musical.

So the first name, the most obscure name I had on my list, Felix Thalamia's, or Thalamis, is actually the love interests of Fantine. That was never mentioned in the musical, but it is in the book. All right, last one. Here we go. Let's see how this one goes. Grontos the Flatulent Frankie and Benji

God, they sound familiar I'm the film that's on every single one except for the Hunger Games Trillion This is Hitchhackers Guide to the Gallagher's Guide to the Gallic Correct Brunthos the Flatchelent Frankie and Benji were the mice

Oh, right, right Trillion, the female character and then I have Ford Prefect, of course, and then Arthur Dent. What about Zaffa and be provoked? Very, very iconic, too. Too easy, too. That was a good one. So there we go.

That was great. Good job, everybody. It's funny, as you say, like, the transition from obscure, obscure, well-known. It's that that middle ground is, yeah, that was good.

Yeah. Norville Rogers. I'll give you a hint. Another character from his cartoon was in this quiz earlier. Oh. Yes, I do know this. This is Shaggy. Yes.

Norville in Scoobort. Yeah. All right. We'll go out on a. Possibly easy one. Casper McFadden. Casper the friendly ghost. And I'd like to add, they actually did not reveal his last name

until in the 90s when they made the live action movie. Whoa. A little bit of a retcon there. Yeah, exactly. Good job, you guys. Wow, that was great. Scoobert. Scoobert.

I like how Dew is still part of his official name. Last name. Yeah, Mr. Dew. All right. Well, I've got a quiz for you guys called What's the Difference? I agree. Let's just go home. Who cares? So here's nothing more. You can't ignore.

It makes no difference to me. So here's the rub for What's the Difference? I'm going to give you guys pairs of things that are often mentioned in pairs, or are often confused for one another or have very slight nuanced differences. And you guys tell me, what's the difference? Okay. So we'll... This is a great game show.

What's the difference? We'll try and start easy here. Okay. What's the difference between stalagmites and stalactites? That's a tough one. I think Karen. Well, one grows up and one grows down. You know which is which?

Stalagmites grow down. Nope. Nope. Oh. Remember. Here's a lag on the ground, stilac from the ceiling. Oh, well, stalag tights hold tight to the ceiling, and stalag mites might grow up. The reason I put this in is I wanted to hear all of our mnemonics for this.

So there's one that I've heard is, remember the T in tights, like for top, I've heard that one. The one that, my favorite one, though, actually comes from a Dr. Octagon song, which is mites crawl up, tights fall down. All right, another one in the similar vein. You can see where I'm going here. What's the difference between a dromedary and a camel? Always have... They always get this in trivia. One hump or two.

And yes, I am going for, yeah, one hump or two. Dramadary has one hump and camels have two. That is correct. Yes. Yes. And before you write in and let us know, yes, strictly speaking, it is a dromedary camel, and there is a bactrian camel is what we think about. when we talk about the two humps is a Bactrian camel, the one hump as a dromedary.

I read a really, really simple mnemonic for this. It just is so easy. I can't believe we didn't think about this. If you rotate the first letter on the side, that's how many humps it has. So a dromedary starts with D, one hump, Bactrian camel has two humps in the B. That's great. That's great. And they are both, yeah, members of the camel family and all that.

What's the difference between Flotsam and Jetson? for you nautically minded people. Well, at first I knew them as the eels, the evil eels from Little Mermaid. I didn't know they were actually real things. They are both types of things that are left after a ship goes down and a shipwreck. Chris. Does Flotsam sit on the top of the water and Jetsam sinks to the bottom? Yeah, you're sort of in there.

Oh, really? Partly in the right way. So Flotsam are things that float up after a ship goes down. Jetsim are things that are thrown overboard. often to keep the ship from going down or you want to just get them overboard and save them for later. Right.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Flotsam and Jetsam. And you can remember Flotsam floats. Jetsam was jettisoned. Yeah. Got it. All right. What's the difference,

this is a linguistic one here. What's the difference between convince and persuade? And this one is contentious. I will acknowledge. It sounds like it came from an argument you had with your wife. I want to prove them right.

When you persuade someone, you are attempting to get them to go along with something. When you convince someone, you're proving something to someone. Yeah, that's essentially right. Yeah, there's an error of proof. You've gotten them to, like, believe what you, like, 2 plus 2 is 4 by showing why. Here's the simplest way for me to remember it is you convince someone of a fact or a belief. You persuade someone to do an action.

Okay, got it. And, I mean, yeah, and again, you can just remember you persuade 2. You convince doesn't take a 2. Now, there are a lot of people who say that the meanings have started to merge, that you can persuade someone to believe something. But if you're really being strict grammarian about it, that's the difference. In Catholic belief, what is the difference between the virgin birth and the immaculate conception? There are religious people who get this one mixed up a lot. Chris.

Okay. The virgin birth is that Mary gave birth to Jesus without being impregnated. and traditional manner. Correct. The immaculate conception is that the baby was born without original sin, that we all have original sin on our heads because of something, but by being conceived in a way so that Jesus, the baby Jesus, was free of original sin.

You are extremely close, and that's what I'll... Not being particularly religious, that's pretty good. The first half, absolutely, yeah. The virgin birth is referred to that Jesus was born without... Mary having had intercourse the immaculate conception refers to Mary having been conceived without sin oh really so when you talk about the immaculate conception you're referring to Mary not the baby not the baby right that she was born or conceived to St. Anne her mother so that later on Jesus could be brought into the world without any tanked of sin at all right

right yes yeah the immaculate reception is completely yes yes all right well close it out here, last one. What is the difference between a syringe and a hypodermic needle? Chris? The syringe is the thing that contains the liquid and the hypodermic needle is the thing that

pokes underneath your skin. Absolutely correct. That's right. Yeah, you could connect the syringe is the tube. I just want to say for the record Karen knew that too. Yeah, you could connect a syringe to a tube, you could connect a syringe to other things, and the hypodermic needle is just a little sticky part.

Yeah. The sticky part. The business end. All right, good job, guys. What's the difference? What's the difference? All right. And that was our all quiz bonanza number eight.
