You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.
Hello, Brainy and Vodacious buddies.
Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast.
This is episode five, and of course, I'm your humble host, Karen, and along with me are our
Quiz-craving compatriots of co-hosts contestants.
Yeah.
Whoa.
And we have.
I'm Colin.
Dana.
And today we also have a special guest.
Hi, I'm Courtney.
Courtney again.
Back with us.
Woo.
By popular demand.
Yeah.
And wow, it's our fifth episode.
And today's show will be a super special and super different because today we're doing the
all quiz show.
Yeah.
We have prepared a very special.
range of quiz segments today.
All quiz all the time.
So get your brains ready.
And we're going to start off with our usual pop quiz hot shot segment.
And here I have my Trivial Pursuit card.
All right.
Get your barnyard buzzers ready.
Okay.
Blue Wedge.
From what Texas City can you walk across a bridge to Quidad Juarez, Mexico?
Is that El Paso?
Correct.
And Pink Wedge.
What was Alex Owens' day job in Flash Dance?
Wilder.
Yes, she was a welder.
I was almost going to say she's a maniac.
That would have been better.
That's only on the floor.
She's dancing like she's never done.
Must supply own chair and water.
Man, I remember seeing that scene while I was a kid.
I was like, whoa, that's racy.
Yellow Wedge.
Who accused Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment?
Sorry, I know you're supposed to wait until the end.
It's okay, Dana.
I need a hell.
Correct.
Purple Wedge.
What is the title of Dan Brown's follow-up to The Da Vinci Code?
Courtney?
Angels and Demons?
Incorrect.
Really?
That's what I thought it was, too.
Movie-wise, yes.
Oh.
I think in movies.
I read this, but it was so long ago in an airport.
The right time to read Dan Brown.
It is The Lost Symbol.
Oh.
Green wedge science.
What plant family are kale, cabbage, cabbage, brussels, and broccoli part of?
Courtney
cruciferous
you are correct
but there is a
more popular
well-used term
cauliflower
no
it is mustard
oh
bonus points for the technical
I know
my goodness
all right
and we have our last
trivial pursuit question
orange wedge
and actually
this question comes up in pub trivia all the time so it's time to actually learn and learn this
by heart okay what are the four h's in four h oh god we always yeah um and and two two people
who um who are listeners who who don't know uh four h especially uh our international listeners
uh four h is like a kind of like an agricultural youth program group here in america
I'll guess I'll guess
I always get like three of them
it's hands
head heart
health
correct
so remember that
head heart
hands and health
okay
nice so physical things
and then something
and then health
yeah that's where we always trip
it's like okay what four body parts
you know start with H
well I have a good mnemonic is that they all start with H
and there are four of them
4H
get it
all right
good job everybody
and we have our
Kickstarter backer question
and this one is
from Kevin C. Hernandez
from Aruba
and this question's a little bit
unfair because it's kind of
biased towards Colin
it's for Star Trek
Here we go
Orzians.
How many troopers patrolled the Endor Bunkers' back entrance?
Oh, that's a good one.
I'll see.
Well, ladies, you can feel free to buzz in, too.
Dana, it's a trick question.
There was zero.
I was just wondering if it was a trick.
I'm going to guess four, I think,
because I think they distracted two of them away and left two.
One dollar.
One dollar.
You are correct.
Or you can keep your Star Wars expert.
Yeah.
So actually, there were three that were lured by Ewox,
leaving one for Hans Solo to make surrender.
And a simple addition says four.
Okay, okay.
So I got the distribution wrong, but the total amount right.
Got my indoor cred.
And I believe, so Kevin says that this is the first scene
that he's ever seen from a Star Wars movie, and he was four.
Is it the beginning of the movie?
No, it's like such a bad question to ask you guys.
It's so embarrassing to be like, I don't remember how that movie begins or what happened.
In the beginning, it's like, no, Dana, it's towards the end.
Oh, okay.
You're a bad nerd.
All right.
Nice.
So today's show, obviously, it is all quiz, and we've all prepared a quiz segment.
So, Colin, why don't you go first?
Okay, all right.
So, you know, our avid listeners will remember we had a food-oriented show just a couple episodes ago.
Yes, it was also called The Anal Beaver Juice Show.
For those of you searching by keyword.
Our Google search results are awesome.
We are owning that category.
But I had a lot of, honestly, I had some stuff that I came across in research there that I just thought was too good to pass up.
So I kind of fleshed this out into sort of a food and drink.
Food and drinkery is the theme of my little quiz here.
So I've got 10 questions, and I haven't necessarily put these in difficulty order.
That's okay.
Consider yourself warned.
All right, so buzzer's ready here.
Okay.
What common vegetable do we refer to by its Latin name today?
Huh, huh, common vegetable.
what sounds Latin yeah
it's definitely the right approach to take
what actually sounds Latin
I keep thinking Vasuvius
like cucumber
carrot carrot
Karen's on the right track parents on the right
track oh
EAS something EIS
Can you give us a hit
Is it green
It is green
It is green.
Green vegetable that narrows it down.
This vegetable is known for a very specific effect it has.
I had it feeling.
Asparagus?
Yes.
Asparagus.
And it's like, yeah, asparagus.
Asparagus.
I don't know what the...
Paragos is a...
The Latin pronunciation.
Yeah.
And I mean, that isn't counting, you know, things that have sort of retroactively been given names
because the Romans didn't know about that vegetable.
But yeah, they called it asparagus.
We called it asparagus.
Um, yeah, I guess over history it has also been called, you know, spear grass, um, smear grass. Yeah. Yeah. Or spar grass as well, I learned. But it's, it has come back to its Latin name, at least in English, uh, American English usage. Yeah, I thought that was pretty good one. Well, is there, is there a Latin meaning to the word asparagus. Does it come from like spear or, or? It does. They are related. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Because I mean, it really does look like little spears when it's, when it's growing. Yeah. So I thought that was interesting. I like that.
I got another Latin word root here, and we'll move on from this one.
I thought this one was good.
What fruit, what common fruit, the Latin name of which, is where we get our word for fragrance.
So, this common fruit in Latin forms the Karen.
Strawberry.
It is strawberry.
Absolutely correct.
Oh, that's genius.
Yes, that's right.
Fragrim.
Fresca.
Fragrim.
Frasca.
Frasca.
Yeah, it says.
And I believe, also in French.
Yeah, so Fragrim, and then which fragrance and perfume.
Yeah.
Jeez.
Yeah.
Okay.
Get into some drinks here.
Whoa.
So, you know, we've talked about alcohol before, and, you know, there are very, very strict guidelines regarding what can be defined as a certain type of alcohol by trade bureaus and things like that.
So in America, according to U.S. federal guidelines, bourbon, bourbon whiskey, sold in America, must be made of
of a grain mix containing a minimum of what percentage corn?
What?
One out a hundred, you guys.
Oh, I know.
Closest without going over?
One dollar.
Minimum of what percentage corn in the grain mix to be called bourbon.
Karen.
I'm just going with 60?
No.
Courtney.
40.
Right in the middle, Dana.
Want to give it a try?
Fifty.
51 percent.
51 percent.
I can almost imagine that like they had it at 50 at one point and someone's like, oh, we better just make it 51.
Just to be sure, just to be sure.
Just to confuse trivia people.
Right.
All right.
Which came first?
Oreo cookies or Hydrox cookies?
Well, what are Hydro?
I don't even know what Hydrox.
I'm going to say Hydrox.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, that's kind of a bit of a leading question there, because you're going to want to think Oreo, yeah.
No, Hydrox cookies came first, and I was one of those many people.
I mean, I always thought, like, what a silly knockoff of Oreos and what a weird name, and why would they pick that name?
But no, Hydrox debuted in 1908, and Oreo came along in 1912.
What a horrible cookie name.
I think it's certainly fair to say that Oreo has had better marketing, yes.
Hydroxide. That's what I think of.
It sounds like a chemical.
Yeah, hydroxide cookies.
cookies. It's not. It does. It sounds like something you would clean your windows with or
it sounded technical and futuristic or something. And Oreo just celebrated their
100th anniversary. That's right. That's right. That's right. Yeah. And Oreo, you know,
the Oreo history does say they were inspired by the type of cookie that Hydrox was,
which I think is a very charitable way of putting it.
Closely in spite. Yes. Yes. Exactly. Um, right. And Hydrox, I believe, is no
longer on the market after coming and going more than once.
So there you go.
If you asked a British butcher for Pandora's Cushion, what type, what would you be expecting?
What would you be ordering if you asked?
I want to say it, but I know my, I'm going to just say it.
I'm going to even make it official.
It's a cow's vagina.
Oh, wow.
Incorrect.
Courtney.
The rump.
Karen, no, incorrect.
Hold on, hold on, hold on, let's see.
Pandora's cushion.
So I'll give you a little bit.
Like Pandora's box.
I'll give you a little bit of hint.
Yeah, yeah.
So focus more on the idea of something containing something wondrous.
A lot of stuff.
All the evil of the world.
Yes, butchers can provide all the evil of the world.
I want, then I would want to say the animals.
I don't know.
It's very closely related to something popular in America,
around Thanksgiving time more recently.
I think many animals in one dish.
Oh, turduckin.
Yes, yes.
The sort of the spiritual predecessor of the turducken,
which for those of you listening who are made out familiar,
is a turkey, stuffed with a duck,
stuffed with a chicken, and then other ingredients.
It's like a poultry Russian doll.
Yes, yeah, it's like a poultry Matrushka doll, yeah.
No, so I guess one common name for the traditional British, and of course it's British, of course the British with that, yeah, is a Pandora's cushion.
And I guess one of the more traditional ways is a goose stuffed with a chicken, stuffed with a pheasant.
Oh, that doesn't sound as gross as I mean, if you tripe and stuff like that, it could be the stomach, it's full of grass.
I actually, I mean, I would have guessed the head.
But then I mean, because in Asian cultures, we eat the head and the brains a lot, but I was like, oh, I don't.
I don't know about in European and Western culture.
It's like that Pandora's cushion would be like a head and you eat the brains.
I don't know.
That was my initial guy.
Well, yeah, you guys definitely took it some places I was not expecting.
I will leave it.
Really?
Really?
Pandora's cushion.
It sounds like an adult shop maybe.
It does.
Yeah, don't visit that with a safe search turned off.
Sex toy, like site.
Okay.
So it's segueing a little bit here from Turkey.
So the bird that we call turkey, as you make.
may well know, does not really come from Turkey.
So it's a misnomer.
Where does the turkey come from?
It's interesting.
I know they have them in a lot of countries.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah, they do now.
Oh.
Karen.
I'm going to guess Malaysia or like South Asia just because, because,
because they have some crazy chicken species of types.
Incorrect.
Dana.
North America.
Yes, correct.
Yes, the Turkey is indigenous.
It is a new world.
Oh, of course.
It's a new, well, but so it's called a turkey because in England, they mistakenly thought
that it had, in fact, come from Turkey.
It was introduced to England from Spain, and the Spanish explorers and Conquistadors
had gotten it from Mexico, brought it back to Europe, where it has misnomerers and
other countries, too. And so the story goes that when the pilgrims got, you know, to the new
world, they were astounded to see this bird that they had thought had come from Turkey and was only
available in Europe and, in fact, was indigenous to the place that they were traveling to.
That's funny. Like, where'd you get this? And you don't want to say, oh, I got it from the
from Turkey. It's the original re-gifting. Will you pay me more if I say it's from Turkey?
I guess apparently in France, they were known as Indian chickens or Poulet d'and.
I'm probably butchering the pronunciation.
But I guess the modern French word is dendon, dendon, which is a derivation of that.
All right.
So this is a two-parter question here.
Oh.
We're going to talk about gram crackers.
Oh, cool.
What makes a gram cracker different from a regular cracker?
And I'll give you a shortcut.
The short answer is it's made with gram-flarkers.
So, really what I'm asking is, what makes gram flour different from regular flour?
I'm going to say Courtney.
I'm going to give her the tie on that one.
Does it have rye in it?
No.
I would say, is it just from, like, the germ?
Yeah, close enough.
Close enough.
Close enough.
It's sort of, it's a very specialized type of whole wheat.
So, you know, white flour just uses the endosperm, and, you know, the wheat kernel has three parts.
There's the brand, the germ, and the endosperm.
And white refined flour just uses the one part.
Whole wheat flour uses the whole thing crushed.
Grandflower grinds the three pieces separately and then recombines them.
Wow.
And there's a science to it, basically, keeping more of the nutritional value, having to do with, as opposed to grinding them all in one.
You grind them separately and then recombine them.
But, yes, he was adamant that this was far healthier for you than refined flour or even than traditional whole wheat flour.
What's the second part?
So the second part is graham crackers, you know.
Graham crackers were a part of a specific diet that Sylvester Graham invented.
What was the main goal of the Graham diet?
Karen, adamantly clicking her thing.
Of course I know this.
It was made so that you eat it and you.
you don't feel like having sex.
That is essentially right.
Yes, yes, yes.
Is that why they give them to little kids?
Yes, that is why they give them to kids.
Teddy bear, teddy bears.
Especially to girls.
Yes, Sylvester Graham believed that all of the ills that we as people suffer can
basically be traced to our carnal urges.
And so this diet was to mainly to suppress carnal urges and prevent self-abuse.
Oh, good, good euphemism there.
Yeah, and I guess apparently that, you know, the greatest irony of it all is that graham crackers that we have today are not made with graham flour for the buy-in-large.
Is that why that doesn't work anymore?
Is there something you want to tell us, Dana?
Yes, okay.
You can buy them at Pandora's Box.
Pantor's cushion.
Yeah, Pandora'scushion.com.
All right.
Let's, all right, so we'll wrap up here with a pair of questions here about soda.
and soft drinks.
Yeah.
We are all probably for better for worse, all the soft drinkers here.
What is widely regarded as the first mass marketed soft drink or soda?
Karen again.
Dr. Pepper.
That is correct.
Dr. Pepper.
That's right.
Going back to 1880s, Waco, Texas.
It was made almost like a medicine.
It was a tonic.
Yeah.
You know, I've read that there are some people, you know, talking about whether it was meant to be a tonic or it was meant just to be something that you would enjoy the soda shop.
But yeah, absolutely.
There were a lot of sodas that were just mixed, you know, at the counter there.
But Charles Alderton is really credited with being the first one to bottle it and sell it pre-mixed as opposed to mixed on demand at the counter.
And then incidentally, there's a lot of lore around the name of Dr. Pepper that we don't need to get into right now.
But it may or may not be named after an actual Dr. Pepper.
Mr. Pepper, right.
There's the story that he named it, Dr. Pepper, to impress essentially the father of a woman he was trying to court.
And I like that.
It's a great story, but it may or may not be true.
But it's very romantic.
And still, today, we still don't really know what the flavors of Dr. Pepper is, right?
I mean, it's still a secret.
I thought, I thought, like, the main flavor was prune.
Yeah, yeah, it was prune, right, right.
Yeah, surprisingly, they don't push that in the advertising.
It's a prune explosion.
In your mouth.
In your mouth.
And later.
Listen, guys, we think we should go with the doctor angle as opposed to prune explosion.
We'll just say 24 flavor.
Don't worry about it.
Marketing.
It's all marketing.
It's all marketing.
All right.
And then wrapping up here, another soda-related question.
Which came first?
Diet Coke or Diet Pepsi.
Oh.
Oh, I think that was Karen.
I think Karen clicked that one.
I think most people will say.
Diet Coke, but in one of our previous episodes, we did talk about how Coca-Cola had Tab,
which was the Diet soda for a long time.
So I believe my guess is Doc Diet Pepsi because it was probably made because of TAB,
and then Coke changed.
So you have most of the right elements in there.
I'm just, yes, you are correct.
You are correct.
Absolutely right.
Diet Pepsi was the first one to market by name as Diet Pepsi.
So in the 60s, Pepsi introduced patio,
Diet Cola, which was essentially the Pepsi formulation.
The next year, they changed it to just diet Pepsi properly.
And as you say, yeah, that's right.
Coke had introduced Tab as a new brand extension, basically, to be their Diet Coke,
to be their Diet Cola flavor.
It wasn't, Coke did not come out until proper Diet Coke until 1982.
Oh, really?
So Diet Pepsi had nearly 20 years had start, at least by that name.
I could see back then, you know, when they were talking.
about and obviously I'm talking on my butt I'm just like hypothesizing like back then it was probably
you know we're going to introduce a diet soda but we don't want to taint our core product so let's call
it by another name so cocat tab and Pepsi had that patio whatever mouthful and so then later
they kind of recognize that people are loyal to the core product brand and we should just add it to
you know add diet in front of the name yeah yeah I think that's right right yeah you know if it doesn't
succeed, don't take a chance that you're now associated with it.
Well, they also had Pepsi-free in the, was that in the 80s?
I feel that was the 80s, right?
Or maybe even early 90s?
Not the Pepsi-Clear, right?
No, Pepsi-free.
Okay, all right.
Yeah.
It's just free of calories.
It also had lemon flavor as far as I remember.
Oh, see, I was just stealing it.
I thought they meant it was free.
I just grabbed them.
Maybe that's why they, it's like, all right, awesome, quiz segment.
Dana, want to be next?
Sure.
Be the quiz master.
So in the last episode, I talked about the invention of the Ouija board when I was looking at that.
Ooh, board games?
No.
Sorry to disappoint.
Karen's like soda and board games.
This is awesome.
It's about psychic phenomena and fortune telling.
All right.
So first question is, in the TV show Ghost Whisperer, what former child star played Melinda Gordon, a woman who has the ability to see?
and communicate with ghosts.
I could see you.
That's Jennifer Love Hughes.
Okay.
The magic A ball contains 20 responses.
It has a 20-sided dye in it.
Which of these is not something you'd see on that diet?
Most likely, keep trying, don't count on it, or better not tell you now.
Can you repeat that?
Sure.
Most likely, keep trying, don't count.
count on it, better not tell you now.
Courtney? Most likely?
Nope.
Better not tell you now?
Nope.
Keep trying?
Yay.
Really? I kept trying.
I would think my answer, you couldn't fit it on the side of the dice.
It's a lot of words.
Oh.
Yeah.
I remember that one, though.
Oh, really?
Yeah.
They can fit it.
They're all like, they're either.
Positive, ask me later, or negative.
And so keep trying is a little different because it, like, acknowledges you're playing a game.
Yeah.
Anyway, what does ESP stand for?
Corti.
Extra sensory perception.
Yes.
In astrology, what sign falls between Taurus and cancer?
Oh, terrible.
I know it's, I don't think it's mine.
One day we're going to do an episode.
I know.
Between Taurus and cancer.
Yeah.
Gemini
Yes
So what month is that?
May?
May to June?
God, I got it.
One day I will remember all of them.
Because everybody only remembers their own.
So maybe if you have 12 people in the room,
if you're a lot of the top,
then you can kind of figure out.
Same thing with birthstones too, man.
Okay.
The Oracle of Delphi was believed to be able to deliver prophecies inspired by what Greek
God?
Zeus
New
What?
Was it Poseidon?
Nope.
I know he was C
but I thought he also had
Future.
He also had an awesome
weapon.
Yes.
I can, I'll give you
three Greek god names
and you pick which one.
No, no, that's too easy.
Was the god of something?
Oh, Karen.
Okay.
Athena.
Nope.
Oh, but she's the smart one.
Was it a male or female god?
Male.
Male god.
Okay.
Give us to hand.
Apollo.
Oh, I was thinking of that.
Really?
Huh.
Yes.
Why would I want, wouldn't I want advice from Zeus than Apollo?
Zeus is too busy to be handling those kind of request.
He's too busy screwing around with chicks from Earth.
That was his deal.
From what I read, it looked like a priestess at the temple of Apollo was good.
giving out prophecies and she said it so it's the temple of she's the delphat
got it got it got it right what animal comes after a goat in Chinese so in the Chinese
zodiac Karen Karen gave us the monkey yes one day she'll teach you the I did we it's on the
website we actually have a video of me teaching this really elaborate poem about red lobster
which is a way that you can memorize all of the Chinese zodiac animals in order.
In order.
Good job, brain.com.
Check it out.
Whippy Goldberg won an Oscar for her portrayal of a medium in the 1990 film Ghost.
What was the name of her character?
Oh, oh, God, oh, freak.
Oh.
It starts with an O.
It was a slightly unusual.
name, right? Blue, like,
Ophelia.
You guys are so close.
Keep going here.
Aubrey, Oggy.
Aubrey, Augie.
It is not coming to me.
Oh my God.
Otomiah Brown.
Wow.
Outa May Brown.
Yes.
Wow.
Good job.
Under the wire.
Fantastic.
Pull that one out.
But, you know, it's like teamwork.
Like, I hear what you guys are saying and kind of piece together.
Okay.
Oda Mae Brown.
In the minor Akana of a tarot deck, there are four suits of 14 cards each.
The traditional suits are swords, coins, batons, and what?
Is it cups?
Yes.
Wait, so cups, coins, swords, and batons.
Yes.
And what is the baton separate?
It's just a stick?
It's a stick, yeah.
Or a wand.
Like a wand.
Oh, like a wand.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
A little bit more romantic than the stick.
They were big fans of track and field.
A ton.
In palmistry, what are the names of the three lines found on almost all hands that are generally given the most weight by palmists?
What are the three lines?
Oh.
I think I can think of, whoa.
No junior high school palm readers in the room.
No, okay.
There's a lifeline.
Uh-huh.
Right.
One of them is for money, right?
Top and bottom.
You know what?
The names aren't even that technical.
Oh, yeah.
Wait, what did you?
Lifeline, top and bottom.
Heart.
Uh-huh.
Is one.
Wealth.
Nope.
I thought it was wealth.
Yeah.
Fortune.
Career?
No. No. It's the headline, the heartline, and the lifeline. Oh, it's similar to 4-H. It is. They're missing health line, I guess. There's like lifeline. It's on your hand. Okay, last year, this one is hard, but I feel like it will come up in tribute a lot. Okay, last year, a story about the possibility of a 13th astrological sign that would fall between November 29th and December 17th was getting a lot of buzz. What is the name of the 13th?
astrological sign
I didn't even hear about this
I remember this story
and this isn't helpful
because it's not the answer
but didn't have something to
it was like they had miscalculated
a calendar or something
it was like mistranslated
or so that's what
that's what it sounded like
it was about but it was really
there's the Western
astrology
yeah Western astrology
and Eastern astrology
and the Eastern one had that
okay
it wasn't
is it a
is it an object animal
or a person oh yeah yeah yeah it's it's a word either you know what you don't there's no
unicorn the unicorn what is it ophicus oh p h i you c h us what is this supposed to be yeah what's that
a reference to hmm made up to the internet to the internet just memorize this word wait say it
Again, Ophicus.
O fecal.
It's like, O, and then F, you choose.
O fee, you choose.
Yeah.
And they ended up not implementing,
passing the resolution.
I don't know what the right terminology is.
Lots of eyes were rolled.
Everyone moved on with their lives.
Hey, you guys.
Did you know you're not really, whatever?
It's like, shut on.
The Huffington Post got 11 articles out of it.
Yeah.
