Get your barnyard buzzers ready. Okay. Blue Wedge. From what Texas City can you walk across a bridge to Quidad Juarez, Mexico?
Starting point is 00:01:27 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.
Starting point is 00:01:50 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.
Starting point is 00:02:14 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.
Starting point is 00:02:30 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.
Starting point is 00:02:46 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
Starting point is 00:03:05 well-used term cauliflower no it is mustard oh bonus points for the technical I know my goodness
Starting point is 00:03:20 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
Starting point is 00:03:49 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
Starting point is 00:04:09 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
Starting point is 00:04:20 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
Starting point is 00:04:34 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
Starting point is 00:04:50 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.
Starting point is 00:05:07 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.
Starting point is 00:05:26 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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.
Starting point is 00:06:41 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.
Starting point is 00:07:05 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
Starting point is 00:07:32 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.
Starting point is 00:07:46 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...
Starting point is 00:08:01 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.
Starting point is 00:08:43 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.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Yes, that's right. Fragrim. Fresca. Fragrim. Frasca. Frasca. Yeah, it says. And I believe, also in French.
Starting point is 00:09:17 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.
Starting point is 00:09:35 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.
Starting point is 00:10:05 Karen. I'm just going with 60? No. Courtney. 40. Right in the middle, Dana. Want to give it a try? Fifty.
Starting point is 00:10:14 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?
Starting point is 00:10:33 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.
Starting point is 00:10:50 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
Starting point is 00:11:17 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?
Starting point is 00:11:55 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.
Starting point is 00:12:13 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.
Starting point is 00:12:28 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.
Starting point is 00:12:49 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.
Starting point is 00:13:11 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.
Starting point is 00:13:48 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.
Starting point is 00:14:01 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?
Starting point is 00:14:22 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,
Starting point is 00:14:41 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 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
Starting point is 00:15:32 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.
Starting point is 00:16:03 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?
Starting point is 00:16:28 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.
Starting point is 00:16:49 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?
Starting point is 00:17:18 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.
Starting point is 00:17:43 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.
Starting point is 00:18:04 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.
Starting point is 00:18:30 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.
Starting point is 00:18:52 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.
Starting point is 00:19:07 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.
Starting point is 00:19:37 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.
Starting point is 00:19:59 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.
Starting point is 00:20:19 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.
Starting point is 00:20:33 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.
Starting point is 00:20:57 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.
Starting point is 00:21:24 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
Starting point is 00:22:01 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.
Starting point is 00:22:18 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?
Starting point is 00:22:36 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.
Starting point is 00:22:52 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.
Starting point is 00:23:17 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?
Starting point is 00:23:43 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.
Starting point is 00:23:59 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.
Starting point is 00:24:09 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.
Starting point is 00:24:27 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?
Starting point is 00:24:40 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.
Starting point is 00:24:52 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?
Starting point is 00:25:12 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
Starting point is 00:25:25 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.
Starting point is 00:25:35 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.
Starting point is 00:25:44 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.
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:39 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.
Starting point is 00:27:06 You guys are so close. Keep going here. Aubrey, Oggy. Aubrey, Augie. It is not coming to me. Oh my God. Otomiah Brown. Wow.

Starting point is 00:27:32 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.
Starting point is 00:27:58 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.
Starting point is 00:28:05 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.
Starting point is 00:28:28 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.
Starting point is 00:28:41 Oh, yeah. Wait, what did you? Lifeline, top and bottom. Heart. Uh-huh. Is one. Wealth. Nope.
Starting point is 00:28:56 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
Starting point is 00:29:34 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
Starting point is 00:29:44 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

Starting point is 00:32:22 Oh, cool. official jeopardy questions. I'm going to, obviously, I'm going to choose double jeopardy. And let's play some jeopardy. Woo. Karen Trebek. It comes with a tiny little Alex Trebek in the box. Damn it, Trebek.
Starting point is 00:32:38 I'll take Swartz for 200, Alex. Do, do, do. Oh, well, we get in the copyright. That's all right. We sing so poorly. No one's going to be able to tell what we're trying to sing. I'm really fair use. Let's play some double jeopardy.
Starting point is 00:32:52 I'm going to do two categories, and the first one is movie portrayals. Movie portrayals, okay. And I'm going to go from 200 to 2000. Okay. And you must buzz, and you also need to put your answer in the form of a question. Oh, yes. All right. In 1999's Man on the Moon, this comic was great as the late Andy Kaufman.

Starting point is 00:33:38 She played author Isak Dinnison in Out of Africa. Colin? That was Meryl Streep. Correct. You did not phrase that in the form. Oh, dang it, you're right. Oh, I didn't catch it. I forfeited. I forfeited my point.
Starting point is 00:33:53 Who is Neryl Street? The money to Dana. You know that Alex Trebek goes to sleep at night just laughing at all those suckers who don't for him in their... I didn't even catch it. That's part of this game, too. It is. It's the meta game.
Starting point is 00:34:10 Question cop. This cop who blew the whistle on police corruption in New York City was played by Al Pacino in 1973. Colin. Who is Serpico. Correct. Joseph Serpico? Frank Serpico. But it denotes that we just need the last name.
Starting point is 00:34:31 So you're lucky. And now $2,000 of fake money. Movie portrayals. This boxing champ of the 40s was portrayed by Paul Newman in somebody up there likes me. I did not know this. But you know this name. Yeah. The Boxing champ of the 40s.
Starting point is 00:34:58 Yeah. Is it Paul Newman? Paul Newman? All the boxing champs of are black. I don't think. I don't think. Uh, I don't know. Oh, okay.

Starting point is 00:35:29 How fitting with our episode two. So I'm going to read and you're going to tell me which story it's from. $200. Little boy blue, come blow your horn. The sheep's in the meadow. The cow's here. Courtney? Where is the corn?
Starting point is 00:35:49 Correct. I didn't know if it was where or what. What is? Where is? What is in the corn? They cried, Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear that we have lost our mittens. Dana?

Starting point is 00:37:47 They said we. But you did mention Georgie Porgie. That was the Georgie Porgie pudding and pie. Kiss the girls and made them cry. When all the boys came out to play, Georgie Porgie ran away. He was like a sex offender. It's a charming rhyme about sexual assault. I'm glad the boys came out to play.
