You're listening to an airwave media podcast. Welcome, Riddlers, critters, and heavy hitters all a glitter. This is good job, brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. Today's show is episode 50. And, of course, I'm your humble host, Karen. and we are your platoon of cartoon buffoons who swoon when our robot croon. I'm Colin. I'm Dana.

And I'm Chris. So before we start today's show, I want to share this with all of you guys. We got an awesome listener email the other day. And back in our Animals Are Weird episode, Chris, you talked about the roaming, traveling bee colonies in America. They've got to truck those bees all over the country. Trucking down the interstate with a load of bees. America So most of the bee population

in the United States are actually trucked across the nation to help pollinate plants and orchards so listener Salina wrote in and she's not only a cool female truck driver

she actually hauled bees before and she said in her email my boyfriend and I drive as a team all over the United States in Canada in the time I've been on the road we've hauled bees twice

once from California to Florida and the second time from Florida back to California. The ones from California came from the very almond groves you spoke about in your podcast. I love it. See people were not liars. So Selena blogs about her trucking

adventures on her site and she actually posted pictures about her bee journey, I guess. Really crazy stuff and really actually dramatic. They're almost denied at the California border upon entering because the California agriculture cultural bee inspectors found ants in their hives.

And that's a big no-no to find other insects in the hives. Very fascinating. And I will link her trucker bee blog posts in the show notes. So check it out. That's great. Very dramatic. And today is episode 50, which means we have our all-quiz bananza. And this is all-quiz bonanza number 10.

Wow. Episode number 50. Not bad. And without further ado, let's jump into our usual general trivia segment. Pop quiz, hotshot. And I have a random Trivial Pursuit card here. Here we go.

What has a darts player done if he's humped his dart? I don't know, but it's only illegal and third. 37 states. Is that if you hit the back of a dart with another dart? Yes. Stuck one dart into another. So it is really like the darts are humping. Yeah, okay.

Cool. We're trying to talk around it, Karen. If it's between two consenting darts, I have no issue with that. Right, right, right. All right. All quiz number 10, who wants to go first? Well, since it's our 50th episode, I have come up with a quiz about the number 50. You did?

Yes, I did. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, go, show. So all of these questions somehow relate to the number 50. Okay, well, let's start out with a basic one, one you might assume is coming. What is the traditional wedding gift for the 50th anniversary? Sounds like Karam was first. I believe it is gold. It is gold.

50th anniversary is called the golden anniversary. 25 is silver. 25 is silver. What was the 50th state admitted to the union? Well, it's, um, man. You can't buzz and not answer. Hawaii. It is Hawaii, yes, yes.

Because it's a tomb. Yeah, because it's a tomb. No one's buried in it. Wow. President Grant and his wife are entombed in Grant's tomb. I don't want to sound sexist or anything, but I'm just going to throw this to Colin. If you're an NHL player, what does it mean to be in the 50-50 club? Hmm, NHL is hockey.

So 50-50, I would guess it's goals and assists. No. I'm guessing you spend 50% of your time in the penalty box and also playing. No. The 50-50 club in the NHL, what it means is that you have scored. 50 goals total in your team's first 50 games of the season. Only five people, including your Wayne Gretzke's and your Mario Lemieux's, have ever actually done this.

There are people who have scored 50 goals and 50 games, but because of either injuries or whatnot, it's not, there wasn't their team's first 50 guys. But the NHL officially keeps track of this. Yeah, well, only five people have ever done it. And finally, in popular culture, what are, hop on the bus, get a new plan. and drop off the key I think Colin laughed first

So you kind of sandwich it together. So for an example, from a previous show, I said, Tina Turner actress's favorite dog breed. And the answer is Angela Bassett Hound, because Tina Turner actress is Angela Bassett and Dog Breed Basset hound So here we go Some of these are tricky But they made me laugh When I was making me

Now, despite winning the Nobel Prize, many people may know him better for one of his books was the inspiration of a very popular Disney movie.

Cadet Allen wrote in and he said, y'all are great. Great. Love your show. Fact is, I did not just stumble upon your show. I'm an Air Force ROTC cadet.

A cadre member informed my class that some of the bonus questions on class assessments may come from the things he heard on your show. Oh, so he's trying to round up a whole bunch of new listeners. Thank you. Thanks, sir. Your check is in the mail, sir. Cadet Allen says, I would like to request a special shout out to my teacher. first lieutenant haines wood who by trade is a nuclear scientist so i have prepared a general science quiz this is dedicated to first lieutenant haines wood and of course cadet allen who wrote in so i hope you

guys enjoy this science all right let's start with this one all right what metal has the highest electrical conductivity of any element colin i think it's gold Correct. I'm going to go ahead and say copper. Incorrect. Oh, what is it? I have a second guess, then. Is it platinum?

No. Dang. Is it tungsten? It is simply silver. Oh, really? Highest electrical conductivity. What are the three types of rocks? Oh.

Chris. Igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic. Igneous rocks are what comes out of like a volcano, formed just from heat and hot, cooled magma. Yeah. Sedimentary is like layers of sandstone, stuff like that. So like, you know, built up over time in layers and they've gotten compressed. And metamorphic is when rocks are compressed so much and have so much heat put on them that they transform into something else.

Yep. So metamorphic is always to me kind of like the weird one out. It could be igneous or sedimentary, but through time and pressure and heat, they might actually change. Yep. All right. Under standard conditions, what is the boiling point of water? 100 degrees Celsius Correct

100 degrees Celsius or in Fahrenheit 212 12? Yes 212 All right How many beads are in one column Of a standard Asian abacus

Oh Not rows, just column Just like one stick There's two in the top portion Right And then Oh man I'm trying to visualize it I'm going to say

9 It is seven, and you're right, so there's two beads on top and five below. What exactly is a blue moon? A blue moon is when you have two full moons occurring in the span of one month, one calendar month. You're right. The blue moon is actually the second of those full moon in a single calendar. month and it happens every two to three years hence the saying once in a blue moon right a lot of people did research on why it's called blue it's not because it's the color because obviously that's

not the color one of the theories is that blue is an old middle english term that means betrayal so it's kind of like well the first moon is the official one and then you have a second moon that's kind of yeah all right we know canine relates to dogs Feetline relates to cats. What three terms are related to cow, sheep, and bear? How about you guys split it up? Okay. Each do one.

Chris? Well, bear is ursine. Bovine is cow. I'll take the hard one. Yeah. I believe sheep is ovine. Yes. Oh, nice.

That is the hard one, yeah. Just ovine. You had your chance, Dana. You had your chance. You look at you're like, I'll take the hard one. Like, okay. All right, lastly, this is a good one. Lastly, what is Buzz Aldrin's mother's maiden name?

That's very foretelling. Moon. Yes. Buzz Aldrin's mother, her full name, is Marion Moon. Very cute. It sounds like a comic character. It really does. Marion Moon, Lightyear.

It was shortened from Light Year. It's... Lightier whiskey. Yeah, Adela Sallel. Like, yeah. All right, good job, you guys. Yay. Science.

Nice. All right. I have something interesting, sort of an experiment, so we'll see how this goes over. So I have a few, I have a few, like, you know, little puzzles for us. Yeah. I have a, fuck, fuck face of puzzle pieces. That don't get together. Puzzle pieces.

That don't get together. I was thinking about, like, Karen always loves to bring up those lateral thinking puzzles, the crazy esoteric puzzles. Okay, the man goes to a restaurant, and he orders a bowl of albatross soup. Right, right, right, right. And he eats the albatross soup, and he goes home and shoots himself in the head. What happened? Then you have to, like, ask questions of the person to figure it out. So they used to give us some of these, like, in school, like, easier ones that you don't have to spend half an hour or a whole week trying to finger out.

Yeah, that have like a little trick in them. But we'll see how you guys do. Let's see if you remember the trick answers. Some of these are the old, old classics that I thought I'd just sort of bring up so we could go over them. So let's see. Okay, so how about this math problem to start off? How much dirt is there in a three foot by two foot by two foot hole? Karen?

None, because it's a hole. None, no dirt, yes, exactly. Is it legal for a man to marry his widow's sister? No, because a dead person. can't get married. Yes. Right, yes. Exactly.

This, I like this one. John's mother has three children. One is named April, and one is named May. And the third one is named, Karen. John. John. John's John's mother. Here's some of the sort of lateral thinking kind of stuff.

This is an oldie, but a goodie. A man walks into a bar and asks the barman for a glass of water. The barman pulls out a gun and points it at him. And the man says, thank you. and walks out. What happened? This is the one where the man has the hiccups. Yes.

He wanted the water to take the hiccups, and the bartender scares him with the gun instead. You guys says thank you and leave. A window cleaner is cleaning the windows on the 25th floor of a skyscraper when he slips and falls. He is not wearing a safety harness, and nothing slows his fall, yet he suffered no injuries. What happened? Dana. He didn't fall off of the cart.

He just fell down in the cart. Nope. He's cleaning the window from the inside. Yes. Now, of course, the thing with some of these puzzles is that Dana, your solution could also be correct. You know what I mean? So it's like one of those things where there's one solution in particular that you're supposed to get to. You can think of things that also satisfy it.

Okay, this is, I really like this one. This is another classic that they give to kids. There is a man who lives in the top floor of a very tall building. Every day, he takes the elevator down to the ground floor, leaves the building. and goes to work. When he comes home from work, he comes home, gets in the elevator, and travels halfway up the building to the middle floor, upon which he gets off and walks the rest of the flights of stairs up to his apartment.

The only exception to this routine is that when it is raining outside, he gets home and goes directly up to his floor and goes into his apartment. All right. Karen. The man is a little person And so he's not tall enough to press the button for his top floor When it's raining, he has an umbrella So he uses the umbrella to poke it But a smarter man would just always bring some sort of

Longish implement Or suit the landlord to put in the panel Like on both sides with the numbers another way Yeah This joke predates the Americans with Disability Act Right well of course there's also the one that's a man and his son are in a car accident. The father dies on the scene and the son is rushed to the hospital.

Upon arrival at the hospital, the surgeon says, I can't operate on this boy. He is my son. How can this be? Dana. It's the mother. Right. Now, of course, these lateral thinking puzzles, that one in the previous one,

like they were a lot harder of 20, 30, 40 years ago. Yeah. They really play on your expectations of gender roles. Right. You have certain sets of expectations that these things. play on, right? Although, I think a lot of them just had to do with your vocabulary and how well you understood the words, like, how good you are at listening.

So, like, the one with the widow, it's like, well, if you know what widow means or John's mother, like, yeah, so a man went to a party and drank some of the punch, and then he left the party early. Everyone else at the party, who was drinking the punch, subsequently died of poisoning. Why did the first man not die? Colin? The poison was in the ice, and it had melted, yeah. Oh, right.

He's a bit like, because he's really hearty and immune to this type of life. They ate something else after he left. Because he's the guy who poisoned them, duh.

to bring back our old friend Elvis. Yay. The electronic, lyrical, vocal, interface system. Yes, so Elvis is our low-resolution computer voice who will speak out the opening lines of popular hit songs, and your guy's challenge is to tell me what song is being referenced. What song he's reading is being spoken to us in an awkward computer voice. Exactly. All right. So no theme for this one tying them together.

All the eighth grade girls just broke up to their eighth grade boyfriends. It's like, oh my God, this song speaks to me personally. Here we go. Treated me kind. Sweet destiny. Carried me through desperation to the one that was waiting for me. I mean, I know the song. It's like, is it called Vision of Love?

It is. Is it like, Carrie? Yes, good team effort. It is Vision of Love by Mariah Carey. I don't even remember how the start. Treated me kind. Oh, sorry. Oh, no, no, wait, wait.

Can you sing more of it? You do not want that. That was her first hit. That was her breakthrough smash, yes. All right, we're going back to the 70s here. Big, big hit. Hey, where did we go? Days when the rains came.

Down in the hollow, play in a new game. Laughing into running, hey, hey, skipping into jumping. Oh, I think Dana was first on that one. Chris laughed first, but Dana buzzed first.
