Oh, yeah. Good job, everybody. Good job, Brains. So it's our all-quiz bananza. Who wants to go first? I've got a quiz we can start with. My quiz is New Year's, not really New Year's themed, but it is themed around renewal and rebirth, and it is called New Beginnings. Ah. So, this is that beginning, this is that beginning of the rest of your life. So what I'm going to ask you guys, I'm going to use some questions,

and these are all themed around companies that started out making one certain product before landing on an entirely different product, you know, switching. their entire MO with changing times or just for the heck of it. Basically, it's a lot of companies that are very popular today, but you may not know about their origin stories. So, for example, if I were to go back to an old chestnut and say, a video game company that started making playing cards in the 1800s, you would say, Nintendo.

Sure. Here we go. This camera and filmmaker has announced its intentions to get out of the analog photography business in the first half of 2013. Colin? Is that Polaroid? It is not Polaroid. Polaroid's already out of that business.

Dana? Is it Kodak? It is Kodak. Kodak is going to sell. It still has the analog film business, but it is going to sell it this year. Spend it off. And we'll be completely out of it. Polaroid actually, they got out of the traditional Polaroid instant film business,

but another company brought it back. This popular brand started as a San Francisco record store that also sold Levi's on the side. Sounds like Colin again. I believe that was the gap. That was the gap. It was a record store in San Francisco, sold clothing. This video game maker can trace its origins to a Hawaii company that imported slot machines and jukeboxes onto military bases. Its name was service games.

I don't know. Let's let Karen take a stab at this one. Is it Namco? It's not Namco. Dana. Sega? It is Sega. Service games.

Sega is a contraction of service games. Yep, it was a Hawaii-based company that eventually moved into Tokyo. Really? Interesting. This communications company started as a lumber mill in southwestern Finland. Collin. Would that be Nokia? It is, yes. It began as a lumber mill.

This one-time maker of baking powder found its true calling when it began giving away with every can, a free package of chewing gum. Oh, whoa. The double, is it Wrigley? It is Wrigley. Wow. Yep, made baking powder, made soap, and started giving away free gum with the baking powder.

It became very popular. Similarly, a door-to-door book salesman came up with the idea of giving away small bottles of perfume to learn female customers, and thus began... Perfume. Colin again. Avon? It's Avon, the door-to-door perfume company. Yep.

Perfume and the chewing gum became more popular than the actual products. People like baking soda. People like free things. And finally, this passenger airline began as the sworn enemy of the bowl weevil, dusting crops at the end of the Mississippi River. Pets to southern air. Southern base The southern most part

Delta Yes The Mississippi Delta Airlines Which I was talking around Its first paid passengers Sat in a chair In the pesticide bin

Perfect Empty, empty of pesticide But yes All right Who's next All right So my quiz is called Heavy Metal Band or Disease

I'll say the name of a heavy metal band or a disease and you let me know which one you think it is. Hold up one finger if you think it's a heavy metal band or two fingers if you think it's a disease. Okay. Can we do the horns? Oh, very nice.

Very nice. We'll do the horns. So that's two fingers. Right. Heavy metal. Right. One finger. It's one finger for disease.

All right. Like you're probing something. Yeah. All right. First, docking. All right. So Colin says ban. Karen says disease.

Chris says band, it's a band. Yes. As immortalized on Wain's World when I think they said, you suck in. Dockin, you suck in. Alopecia. Everybody says disease. It's a disease. Blood rock.

Blood rock? Yeah. Blood rock. Oh. Colin says disease. Karen says band. Chris says banned. It is a band.

I thought it was a great question. It sounds like a bunch of eighth graders in their garage. It's like, what are we going to call a metal band? Blood rock. What about blue cheer? Colin says ban. Karen says disease. Chris says banned.

It's a band. Yeah. Blue cheer? Yeah. That sounds so cheery for a metal band. They were a Woodstock-era band. Cal Cooley. All right.

Colin says disease. Karen says ban. Chris says disease. It's a disease. I'm fluky. It's like 50-50. Barron Rojo. Barron Rojo.

Everybody says banned, it's a band A bad case of the barren Rojo's My Rojo is totally barren What about Otitis? It's a trick All right, Colin and Chris say disease Karen says banned, it's a disease It's a disease

Of the ear My dog has otitis right now Crocus Crocus I gotta go ban Everybody says ban It's a band. All right.

What about GERD? GERD? Yeah. How is it spelled? G-E-R-D. Are there any umlauts? No. Any lightning?

Yeah, the D is a lightning. All right. So, Colin and Chris say disease. Karen says, band. It's a disease. Oh, my good. How about Kuru? Kuru.

Can we get the spelling? Spelling, please. K-U-R-U? I'm going to say disease. Everybody says disease. It's a disease. Yay. Disease.

Hey, disease. Good job. All right. Very good. Oh, come on. And you didn't even throw in anthrax? Also, Black Death is a band and a disease. Oh.

I would like to know how many of those diseases you could actually contract at a heavy metal show. That would be a really interesting Venn diagram to put up there, yeah. Otitis for sure. Yeah, Otitis definitely right. All right. All right, my turn, and my quiz is called What's in a Name? And this is my name Oh, nah, nah, what's my name?

Oh, nah, what's my name? What's my name? What's the name? Hey, boy, I really want to see if you can go. And this is partly inspired by it recently at PubTrivia. We got the question, which is, what does TMZ, as you know, the celebrity gossip news site? What does TMZ stand for? And what does it stand for?

30-mile zone. Yeah. And we did not put that. We put three miles out. We were so close. We were so close. We were thinking three mile island. So my quiz is going to be about what things stand for.

You might see a lot of letters or abbreviations, names and companies or names of mascots. So here we go. What does the Q in Q-Tip stand for? I think I read that it's quality. Yes. Quality tip. Right, here's another one. We all know, Lord of the Rings author J.R.R. Tolkien.

What does J.R.R. stand for? I know, like, I think it's just, I think the J. is just John. Correct. It's like John, it's, oh, God, Reginal. Rivendell. Reginald. Is it Ronald, Ronald, one of them? It is.

All right, that's as far as I can get. John Ronald Ruel. That's R. E.U.E.L. John Ronald Rule. All right. And another author, C.S. Lewis, famous for the Narnia series. What does C.S. stand for? Is this Clive Staples, Lewis?

Correct. It's called Clive Staples Lewis. That's what you're making that up. I see why he abbreviates his name. That's an awesome, like, blues man name. Clive Staples. Yeah. Clive Staples and the Chronicles of Narnia.

Right. Okay. Why did the FBI? call Ted Kaczynski the Unabomber. What does the UNA stand for? I believe it was because his earlier targets were universities and airlines. Yes, that's UN&A, hence Unabomber. Huh.

So we all are familiar with the mascot from the Michelin Tire Company, right? Kind of looks like a snowman made a big fat guy made out of tires, a Michelin man. He actually has a real name. Uh-huh. Does anybody know his name? goodness. And I bet our francofile I was just going to say it's probably something, yeah, because they're French company, man.

I'm sure it's a bad pun. Treddy, Freddie, Freddie. That's good. It actually is Bibindum or Bibb or Bibelopees. Bibbendom, which is Latin. So here, it's a weird story. Bibbendum is actually one of the world's oldest trademarks. And originally, a French cartoon. Created an image of like a poster for a brewery, and it features like a large fat guy holding like a huge goblet of beer with the phrase, Latin phrase, nuke est bibidum, which means now is the time to drink. However, the brewery rejected this design and this idea.

So the French cartoonist then showed it to the Michelin people, and the Michelin people were like, this is great. Let's make that fat guy look like he's made of tires. Really? Yes. And so they pretty much kept the whole concept of... Just turned them into tires. Turned them into tires, including the phrase, now is the time to drink, which seems really odd for it. They kind of spun it in a weird way. They added the tagline.

The Michelin Tire drinks up obstacles as a way to like kind of a stretch. That is straining to do some explaining. They replaced the beer in the goblet with like a bunch of broken road hazards and stuff. It's so weird. It kind of makes sense, but it kind of doesn't make sense. It seems pathetic, actually. You should drink. Look at all the broken ribbons.

But regardless, a bivitum from the Latin phrase has become the Michelin Man's name. All right. Here's another mascot. What is the name of the Quaker Oats guy? Oh, Wilford Brimley. I have read this because they're slimming him down. They were giving him a little bit of a little bit of a. makeover um the quaker oats guy i feel terrible when i hear this because i have heard so a lot of

people are like oh it's he's commonly mistaken for benjamin frankly right yeah a lot of kids think he's benjamin franklin yeah yeah a lot of people think that because you know quaker pennsylvania maybe it's like william tell it's not he's just known as larry larry larry yep all right true or false gatorade was named after the animal gator false Well, indirectly. It was named after the University of Florida Gators. Yes, correct. It was developed for the athletes there.

Right. The last question. What symbol is sometimes called the hat, the up arrow, or the shark? Oh. It's on our keyboard. It's probably called the carrot. Oh, okay. That's weird.

The carrot. So, you know, on your number six key on your keyboard, you see the little carrots, like a little Chevron, upside down, V. It's called the carrot, C-A-R-E-T. So do you guys know what the name the carrot comes from? Oh, gosh. Is it like check or something? So what would you use the carrot for, other than noting, like, mathematical, exponential.

Inserting words. Yes. Yes, inserting words. When you're proofreading, if you want to add something, you put in carrot, and then you write on top, add whatever word or phrase. So carrot comes from the Latin term, it lacks. Ah, yeah. So, oh, you're lacking this word.

I'm going to put an arrow and then squeeze in my word in here. It lacks. So there you go. That's a good one. So I have prepared a quiz for you guys based on something that does come up in pub quiz for us, which is Celebrity Autobiographies. And, you know, the whole world of celebrity and famous people autobiographies and memoirs. And they have the cheesiest titles.

Shockful of bad puns and allusions. to things. So that's essentially the gist of this quiz. I'm going to give you guys the name of the memoir or the autobiography and a little bit of a clue about who the person is and you tell me who the person is. All right. Oh, no. So for example, if I were to say this politician released a memoir called Go and Rogue, you'd say Sarah Palin. Exactly. All right. Here we go. This American Athletes Memoir was titled Bad as I Wanna Be. I believe that was Chris. Dennis Rodman. It is Dennis Rodman, yes, featuring him nude on a motorcycle with several basketballs. It does not lack for subtlety.

I hope they wipe that thing down. What American president released a memoir titled A Time to Heal? I think, Chris, again. Is it George W. Bush? It is not George W. Bush. Karen? Is it Franklin D. Roosevelt? It is not Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Is it Carter? It is not Carter. Who is it? It is Gerald Ford. A time to heal, referring, of course, to the Nixon scandal and all that came around. I was thinking of, like, actual physical, you know, handicap or limitations. The name of this famous revolutionaries memoir takes its name from the vehicle he used to travel across South America. So can you give me both the person and the memoir?

Karen. Che Guevara? Yes. Motorcycle Diaries. Correct. Yeah. Ernesto Che Guevara. It was a movie.

That's how I did. It was, in fact, it was so a movie. You know, he was a real person. He was a real person. Gale-Garcy-up or not. This enormously successful athlete released an autobiography titled Beneath the Surface. Beneath the Surface. What?

Chris. Michael Phelps? Yes. Michael Phelps. Oh, there we go. Of water. Very good. Yes.

What world leader released a memoir titled Long Walk to Freedom, which partly covered his time being jailed as a terrorist? That was Dana. Nelson Mandela. It was Nelson Mandela. Yes. This American entertainer released his memoir titled Leading with My Chin. Chris. Jay Leno.

Jay Leno. What singer released a memoir titled Kiss and Makeup? Karen. Gene Simmons. Yeah, and I was deliberately fudging the pronunciation there. Kiss and makeup. Kiss and makeup. I thought that was pretty clever.

Yeah. I got to give it to Gene Simmons or whoever came up with that idea. Because it's not just one gag. It's multiple gags. I do like the ones that work on multiple levels. So here's a good one. All right. So the first part is probably pretty easy.

What actor and politician released a memoir entitled Total Recall? That's Dana. Arnold Schwarzenegner. It was Arnold Schwarzener. All right. Now, this is actually a three-part reference. Whoa. Can you name all three things that he's referring to with the title? It's just with total recall.

It's just a second question? Whoever wants to say? Okay. So he was, he came into office because of a recall. Yes. That's really the tricky one. It was in a movie called Total Recall. And it's he's recalling his life.

He's recalling his life. But yeah, but the fact that he became governor of our great state of California during a recall election, the first one California history. Pretty clever. I gotta give it to him. Or to whoever wrote it. What famous singer and guitarist titled his memoir,

Who I Am? Dana. Jimmy Page. No. Karen. Oh, you said guitarist, huh? Guitarist and singer. I can tell.

You're so glad. You're in the right band. Guy from Tommy. From the Who. Pete Townsend. It was Pete Townsend. Yes, that's why I had to add guitarist so that you can separate. Yes, who I am, Pete Townsend. All right, we're going to close

out here with two last ones here. Four very famous politicians and thinkers. Bill Clinton, Fidel Castro, Golda Meyer, and Leon Trotsky, all named their memoir the same thing. Don't know. Chris. My life. My life. That's right. All right. What R&B singer titled his memoir, Sola Coaster, The Diary of Me. Dana R. Kelly. Before you even started

like what R. B I was like Oh, I know. Yeah, I got it. Solo coaster. All right. Let's take a break and a word from our sponsor. Hungry now.

Now. What about now? Whenever it hits you, wherever you are. Grab an O. Henry Bar. to satisfy your hunger. With its delicious combination of big, crunchy, salty peanuts covered in creamy caramel and chewy fudge

with a chocolatey coating. Swing by a gas station and get an O'Henry today. Oh, hungry, oh Henry. This is a true story. It happened right here in my town. One night, 17 kids woke up, got out of bed, walked into the dark, and they never came back. I'm the director of Barbarian.

A lot of people die in a lot of weird ways We're not going to find it in the news Because the police covered everything all up On August days This is where the story really starts And you are listening to Good Job, Brad, and today's our special All-Quiz Bananza number nine

And who's up next with their own quiz, Dana? So this quiz is called Noodles Oh, this is the night, it's a beautiful night, and we call it the vallan northern. And I will give you the Italian translation of a name of a noodle, and you tell me what noodle it is. Oh, like literal translation. Because some of the translations are very close to the noodle, and some are theme random. We're going to have to use our noodles for this. one, get out.

Little Twines. Spaghetti? Yes, spaghetti. Spaghetti. What about little tongues? Oh, man. Linguini. Oh, of course.

Of course. Linguishol. Good God, we're thinking. Yep, yep. Little worms. I know this one. I love it. It's vermicelli.

Ravioli. No. No. Good accent. Yeah, you don't get extra points for the accent. Tortini. Close. Oh, tortellini.

Tortilini. Little pies. They are. They're like little pies. Butterflies. Oh, oh. Fusili. No.

No, it's, I know this one. It's, um. Monarch. It's cloak. Is it mus? You'd recognize them. They kind of look like little butterflies or little bows. I've heard of bowtie, but I mean, I know the Italian name for it.

Yeah. For folly. Ah. For folly. For folly. For folly. Hmm. Cooking pot.

This one was random. Cooking pot. Is this rapioli? No. Dang it. I give up. It's lasagna. Oh.

Lazzania means cooking pot. Cooking pot. Crazy. Who knew? Well, now everybody does. Cool. Those are good. Good quiz.

So, I have a quiz. So we were listening to some old episodes of Good Job Brain over the holidays with my parents. And the first in line segment came up. And I was like, oh, man, we haven't done a first in line in a while. And, of course, I thought. thought, I really thought this is going to be like a more regular thing and then we just sort of slacked off and didn't do it. We had a couple, yeah, but we've not had that many.

So first in line is these are famous first lines from books, movies. There might be a play and there might be a song in there as well. And so I'm going to give you the first line and all you have to do is tell me, give me the author and give me the work. All right. All right. You don't know about me without you have read a book by the name of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, but that ain't no matter.

Oh, would that be Huckleberry Finn? The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. It is Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. By Mark Twain. By Mark Twain. Blank. Light of my life. Fire of my loins.

That is Lolita. It sure is. By Vladimir Nabokov. There you go. My name is Lester Burnham. This is my neighborhood. This is my street. This is my life.

I am 42 years old. In less than a year, I will be dead. Of course, I don't know that yet. And in a way, I am dead already. Sounds like Dana. American Beauty. Yeah. I'm going back to Australia.

I might never see you again. Karen. Greece. Yes. Oh, wow. On the beach. Spoken, spoken by Olivia. Olivia.

Wow. Don't call it a comeback. I've been here for years. Dana? That was Colin. Oh, Colin. That is L.L. Cool Jair. Yes. Mama said knock you out. Indeed it is. You said that so matter of fact.

I am Gunnery Sergeant Hartman, your senior drill instructor. From now on, you will speak only when spoken to, and the first and last words out of your filthy sewers will be, sir. Do you maggots understand this? I'll take a guess. Go for it. A full metal jacket? Of course. All right. Directed by Kubrick. Yes, indeed. finally dog carcass in alley this morning tire tread on burst stomach this city is afraid of me I have seen its true face Karen that is the watchman yeah by Alan Moore indeed graphic novel that is the first line spoken in the graphic novel all right well good job

I was good I was gonna say Bridget Jones's diary the first cut of this was really dark before she edited it down It was dark. P.S. I'm so single. Yeah. I think in the beginning of that movie, she's like in her pajamas, like, seeing all by myself. Yeah, yeah. Drinking vodka.

It's really depressing. She worried about a dog eating her, so there wasn't a dog. Anyway, I'm like, okay. But no, it was Watchman. It's just crying out for a mashup. It's crying out for a mashup over, too. So I have a related quick. quiz. And this is also kind of tied into pub trivia. We get Shakespeare questions a lot, a lot. A lot of the superlatives. Yeah. And I think Shakespeare, the bard himself, he really deserves his own episode maybe later on because there's so, so much trivia about him, his life, his works, you know, especially his contribution to the English language. But for this segment, I'm going to ask you guys about the superlatives of his work. This always shows up on pub trivia.

things like, you know, what is the shortest play? What is the longest play? And make sure you remember these, and you can totally ace those questions at Pub Trivian. So here we go. Well, speaking of shortest and longest plays, what is the longest Shakespearean play? Who talks a lot.

I'm going to say, okay. All right, I'm going to throw out, is it King Lear? Incorrect. Is it? Lots of talking, lots of dialogue and monologna. I mean, it's got to be one of the series. Yeah, Henry the A's. through the sea is it like coriolanus or one of those is it one of the

you guys are overthinking yep it is hamlet oh really that's the longest play so you were trying to get us to see you're like who talks a lot who talks a lot who can't who can't shut up the average length of like a elizabethan england a play is about three thousand lines hamlet has four thousand and forty two lines longest shakespeare play which play is is the shortest. Is that as you like it? Incorrect. It is a comedy, though.

I'm trying. We just had this out there. Gentleman of Verona had the fewest characters in it. I think it's two gentlemen of Verona? No. Is he the 12th night? The comedy of errors. Okay.

All right. Okay. So maybe... That's the shortest. Maybe like a weird mnemonic is like, it's full of error, so it's the shortest because you take everything out. He's like, let's finish this thing, though. Yeah, yeah.

He realized how many errors were in there and it's like, you know, I'm just going to stop So since Hamlet has like about 4,000 lines, comedy eras has about 1,800 lines. Oh, wow. It's a lot shorter. All right. And Dana, you've mentioned the two gentlemen of Verona have the smallest cast. What play has the largest cast? It's one of his historic ones.

Oh, I was going to say, it's summer night's dream, so it's clearly not that. I'll guess Julius Caesar. It is Henry the 6th, part two. largest cast of all Shakespearean plays. All right. Which Shakespeare character has the most lines? Who cannot shut up? Hamlet.

It is Hamlet. Oh, okay. All right. So out of the around 4,000 lines of the whole play, about 1,600 of those are all from Hamlet. Most lines of any character in a single play. Which Shakespearean female character has the most lines? I will guess it...

So this is hard, because not only do you have to know the play, you have to know the actual character. Beloved, heroine. Right, right. Oh, beloved... I was going to guess Kate from Taming of the Shrew, but now you're making me think it might be Juliet. It is Rosalind from As You Like It.

I want you guys to tell me what are the three top-famous and most quoted Shakespeare quotes from his plays. It doesn't have to be in order, but... Okay, I'm going to go with, well, first of all, we had come up, Friends, Romans, Countryman, lend me your ears. So, I mean, maybe that's in there. To be or not to be is probably in there. That is number one. That is number one.

All right, so, to be or not to be, that is a question from Hamlet. That's one. What are the other two? Romeo, Romeo, Romeo. Oh, Romeo, Romeo, wherefore are thou Romeo from? Romeo and Julia. Yes. Was it Friends Roman Countrymen, no?

No. Correct. This is from As You Like it. Oh. I actually didn't know this was Shakespeare. Probably some common turn of phrase like All's Well that ends well or something like that. I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.

I want to... What is it? All the world's a stage. And all the men and women merely players from As You Like It. There you go. Some Shakespeare superlatives, very handy. Go bard. Go bard or go home.

That'll be the name of our Shakespeare Players Company. The Good Jobbrian Players present Go Bard or Go Home. So I love the kinds of quizzes that reward paying very close attention to things. If you know me well, that won't surprise you. So I've put together a quiz for you guys to see how will you know the details of things that we may come in contact with many times a day, year after year after year, which are corporate logos. They almost become invisible. We see them so much. So I'm going to pose to you guys questions about very famous logos and see how well.

you know them. And I hope this will be fun, and I hope it's not a catastrophe. Okay. Or both. We're all in it together. Yeah, yeah, yeah. We'll try and start easy here. So we've talked before about the mermaid in the Starbucks logo.

Excuse me. Actually, I think you mean a melusine. She is, in fact, a meliocene, right, which is the, which you can tell by her split tail, yes. For the purposes of this question, we'll call her a mermaid. In the Starbucks logo, what is on her head? Karen. I believe, I think Dana mentioned this before, it's starfish. It is not a starfish.

A crown with a star on it? It is, a crown with a star on it. Yes, and the logo has, of course, evolved over time. You know, used to be able to see her boobs, for example. But yes, it is a star on a crown. That's right. Okay. Melu boobs.

How many rings make up the logo for Audi car company? Karen. Four. It is four rings, yes. Is there a significance behind it? There is, actually. So Audi, like mini-car companies, is the result of other companies merging over time. And so at once upon a time, each of the rings represented one of the constituent companies.

And it's just gotten simplified and simplified. So speaking of numbers and logos, the NBC network here in America, famously has the NBC Peacock. How many feathers? Oh, man. How many feathers are in the NBC Peacock's tail? Chris. 13. incorrect

five incorrect Dana is correct with six it is very I think it's a great logo clean symmetrical well so that's right

so three and then the head of the peacock and then another three does anyone want to take a stab at the order that the colors are in no no one wants to they've got the basic rainbow colors

so from left to right they are yellow orange red peacock head purple blue green Okay, so it's like split in the middle. It's like a split rainbow, right, kind of out from the head, yep.

Okay. Is there a hyphen or no hyphen in the full script Coca-Cola logo? Chris. I believe there's a hyphen. There is, in fact, a hyphen. Is there a period or no period in the current Dr. Pepper logo? I think that was Chris again. I believe there is no period.

There is no period after the doctor. That's right. Dr. Dr. Dra pepper. Drup pepper. What animal. can you find hiding in the mountain logo on a bar of Toblerone chocolate?

Wow. And yes, it is the Matterhorn, but there is a hidden animal. I think it's a bear? It is a bear. Yes, there is a bear, yes. And it's related to the company's origins. They were surrounded by bears. This company's world famous logo began as a simple three-pointed star, and then when it merged

with another company, combined. the influence of a laurel wreath around the edges before it settled on its current design. What company is this? What is that three-pointed star? Mercedes-Benz. Yes, Mercedes-Benz. That's right. The original original was just the three-pointed star, which is still in the middle,

and then they kind of combined the Ben's laurels around the edges to sort of simplify it. What famous Latin phrase appears on the package of Marlboro Cigarettes? It's part of the shield logo, the Philip Morris logo. Very famous three-word phrase. Oh, e-pluribus, Uno. I was like, Carpe Diem. I was like, it was kind of dark. It is a phrase commonly attributed to somebody whose name has come up several times in this episode.

Julius Caesar. Yes. Veni-Vi-Vi-Vici. Veni-Vi-Vi-Vici, yes, is embedded in the logo of the Philip Morris Crest. The Walt Disney Company uses a style. stylized version of Uncle Walt's signature as their primary logo base. Uh-huh. True.

Two of the letters in the Disney name are lowercase. Which letters are they? That was Dana. I and Y. It is I and Y. Yes, with the huge superfluous dot over the eye. How many arrows are there as part of the subway logo, subway sandwich chain? There are arrows?

There are arrows included as part of the letters. Dana. Oh, oops. Now I think they're two, but now I'm thinking there's more. You are correct. There are two. There's one coming off the end of the S and one coming off the end of the Y and the other end. All of a sudden, I was like, there were arrows on everything.

All right. Last one here. So this one is a little bit of a myth dispelling as well. So contrary to an often told story, this car company's logo did not actually begin as a stylized version of a spinning airplane propelling. Perpillar, Karen. That is BMW. Yes, BMW. The whole urban legend is that the blue and the white, it's like what happens when

propellers, like, they keep spinning and they make solid colors. That's right, that's right. And this is an example of one of those stories where the company itself has perpetuated this story over the years because it just makes for such great copy. And, you know, they were involved in airplane production at one time. So where do the colors, blue and white? They have a very, very significant meaning. I think they're the colors from the flags of that part of Germany.

Absolutely right. I forgot what they're called. You're absolutely right. They're the colors of the Bavarian flag. That's right. And so the B and BMW is Bavarian Motor Works. Yep. So that's where they come from.

I'm so smart. Good job, guys. You are so smart, Karen. How could I be like you? The new BMO, V.I. Porter MasterCard is your ticket to more. More perks. More points. more flights more of all the things you want in a travel rewards card and then some get your

So I'll be playing five short clips of songs and you have to let me know what the artist is. Now, there is a theme. Identify the artist and at the end identify the theme. Here we go. All right.

Diana, it comes to say to me, I've been wasting for so long to hear the truth. It comes as far surprise I all can see. So got the crap and tell me that we're through. Dana. White Town It is White Town Very famous 90s song

Yeah All right Number 2 We're not bad We're at the room We can do a no wrong We can never For a girl

Yes Wow Popular. I thought this was going to be tricky. Together. Percy sledge. Way to back out there. I was saying,

Boone King, and I was like, oh, that's not what they're saying. The words I'm saying, don't match the words. Oh, busted.

It is Percy sledge. Remember that one. All right. So we have White Town Percy Slend. Okay. All right. I solved it already, by the way.

Just FYI. I just want to make sure it. everybody knows I was first. I solved it already. I just don't feel the need to boast, Christ. Oh. I never know when I come around What I'm going to find

Wow, you guys are good. I thought these were going to be tricky. Gary Puckett in the Union Gap? Incorrect. Oh, no. I believe it is a cover by Urge Overkill of the Neil Diamond song. Yes, it is.

This artist is Urge Overkill, made famous in the Pulp Fiction original soundtrack. Oh, huh. Kate's come and it's show. I should be hoping, but I can't stop thinking. All the things they should have said that I never said. All the things we should have done the window, dude.

All the things I should have given, but I did on all in a done and make it go. Make it go. Kate Bush. Yes. Kate Bush. Only one voice like that. Yeah. Covered famously by Maxwell, R&B singer.

This song was in a Kevin Bacon movie called She's Having a Baby. And the cover by Maxwell was in Love and Basketball. That is a good movie. Yeah. And the last one. Someone else is I had a woman, said, get away. American woman. Listen what I say.

Hey, hey. Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, it's... Oh, I'm absolutely blanking on this. And so frustrating. Of course, we know the cover, which is done by Lenny Kravitz. I know the original.

This is the original. It's... Is there a G in there? That's all I can come up with. That's, oh, God, it... All right. What is it? Oh, no, is it? It's not Grand Funk Railroad, is it? No. It is the

guess who. Oh, the guess who. Not the who, but the guess who. All I could get was G. I'll take one-tenth credit. Good job, and that was the music quiz, and the theme is Woman. Woman. So in my own defense, I was looking this up as we were doing this quiz. Gary Puckett in the Union Gap, the wrong answer that I gave. And the reason that this is such an easy mistake is because Gary

Puckett in the Union Gap is the band that did Woman Woman, Young Girl, Lady Willpower, and This Girl is a Woman now. All the songs would sound very similar to that and are themed around the same thing. And yet somehow Girl You'll Be a Woman Soon is not one of those songs. Wow. That isn't
