Liza Manelli Not a bad guess It's a son Oh sorry No sorry I was just going to look Sorry oops Actually female

Wasn't paying attention Caden Smith My 1950 Son of a famous Hollywood couple I was an infant when I appeared on the cover Oh Is it Desi Arnaz, Jr.?

Yes, yes. Technically, he is Desi Arnaz the fourth. Yes, and it was a big deal. I mean, in 1953, you know, they were at the peak of their powers, and he did in fact appear on the show. Old America in their hired grip. Look upon this power baby. This legendary rock musician graced the cover of the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine

in November, 1960. Chris, I'll take a guess. Jimmy Hendricks. Not a bad guess. Jimmy Hendricks was on twice in their first 10 covers, but it was not Jimmy Hendrix. This person was also the member of a very famous rock group. Karen. Mick Jagger.

Also not a bad yes. It's also incorrect. Dana. John Lennon. Yes, John Lennon. What group was he in? All right. We're going to shift here into comic vein,

little bit here. So, uh, I want you guys to name any three, any three of the five members of the Avengers depicted on the first issue of the Avengers comic book in September 1963. You want to, so we each name one or try to be? Sure. Why don't we go in order until we, uh, can we get it wrong? If someone wants to take a guess, if someone wants to guess that they know three. Captain America. Captain America was not. Oh, the Incredible Hulk. Incredible Hulk is one. It definitely was. Thor. Thor is two.

Iron Man. Iron Man. There you go. Three. Hulk, Thor, and Iron Man. The other two were Ant Man. Ant Man, yes. And the Wasp. She always gets cheated. She is the legitimate founding member of the Avengers. She wasn't even listed. Probably the Ant Man gets just as cheated. Two and sex. Yeah.

Well, they were married. They were a couple. Oh, were they? Yeah, so it's even worse. She was always Oh, and Ant Man's wife was kind of the level of attention that she got so right yeah no fair to be the loss we'll stick with comics for a second what color was the incredible Hulk on the cover of incredible Hulk number one in may 1962 so karen is obligated to answer since she boasted in first red incorrect gray he was gray oh yeah because it's black and white incredible Hulk number one he was originally gray because stanley really wanted not to be aligned with any race or ethnicity and just picked gray is a very

neutral color. You know, his artist convinced him that gray was just, it didn't look good on the page. It was really boring and drab and Stanley ultimately agreed by the time the second issue came out, he was green and consistently green, although they have, as you say, they've had crazy offshoots over the red hulks and other gray hulks. Like purple or something? They've had all kinds of hulks, more hulks than you can shake up. I got all your hulks from here.

Yeah, I got your red hulk. I got your green. Hulk. All right, we'll close out here with this one. The Madden Football Series is... Yes. I think safe to say, Chris, would you agree? Probably the most successful video game franchise in terms of sales all time?

It is not, but it's up there. Okay. Huge, huge Madden series. And there's a big deal every year now when it comes out. Who's on the cover? Who's going to be pictured on the cover of Madden this year? They use it for a lot of publicity, of course. So before it became Madden Football, it was just called John Madden Football.

who was on the cover of the first edition of John Madden football in 1988 I believe I believe it was John Madden It was John Madden What's your question?

It was John Madden You give us all this preface of like Oh the being on the cover It's like darn it calling He was on the cover for many years Actually just John Madden It was a long time before they even started sneaking generic-looking football players in.

But the whole really the modern phenomenon of like, oh, who's the big famous athlete? Really didn't start until 2001. Eddie George was kind of the first, all right, big name, giant prominent featured by himself on the cover. Also, they're pumping them out like once every year, so there must be some sort of differentiating factor. That's true.

A bunch of games with John Madden's face on it. I was like, which one's which? That's true. And really the only change from year to year is how much balder and fatter he was going to get. I shouldn't slag. I'm sorry. So good job, guys. That's who's on first. All right, who's next? So in the English language, there are actually several phrases, several three-word phrases that follow the following

formula. The word little is the first word, then the name of a color, and then finally a word at the end. So little color item. Little color item. Some of these might not be nouns. So if I were to say Audrey Hepburn's fashion statement Everyone Little black dress Right, exactly Okay, so now it gets a little bit tougher from here

A princely sports car Karen Little Red Corvette Yes Well-intentioned falsehoods Little White Lies Little White Lies Yes

A secret Rolodex Dana Little Black Book Little Black Book, yes. Invaders. Collin. Little green men.

Little green men. Oh, wow. The smallest penguins ever. Smallest penguins. This might be tough there, native to apparently New Zealand. Karen. Little blue fairy. You know, it's little blue penguins.

Okay, but they're also called fairy penguins. Yes, there are some other names for it. One of the names for it is the little blue penguin. Are they actually blue in the world? Yeah, they're blue. Yeah. I've seen. them. Actually, they come home.

They go out in the ocean, they would eat the food, and they would come back to their nests and regurgitate. Wow. So they'd just sleep on your couch then? That sounds like in New Zealand. Go ahead. Come back. As the Rolling Stones put it, Mother's Little Helper.

Oh. Little blue pill? No. You have the color wrong. It's the little yellow. Oh, it's just the color. It's the little. It's the little.

yellow pill. A little yellow pill. The little yellow pill. A little blue pill is a whole different time. It's not rolling. A little yellow pill. As distinct from Neuprin,

which had this slogan. Little yellow, different. Exactly. Little yellow different. So that is the little color quiz. Nice. All right.

So I have a quiz for you guys. It's called, do I have all the pieces? It's a quiz. about board game sets and how many pieces. Not necessarily in board games. Lots of other games. Oh, wow. Okay.

All right. So you all have pads of paper and pens. So I will give you the item or the set in the game and you tell me how many pieces there are. Okay. All right. Okay. So, for instance, chess pieces and a complete chest set, how many chest pieces are there? 32.

You have to write it down. Oh, I thought that was an example. Okay. Well, sure. The pieces are. Two kings, two queens, four rooks, four bishops, four knights, 16 pawns. How about pieces in a checkers set? Checkers in a checker's set.

You got 24, 20? Yeah. And Colin says... 24. 24. It's 24. Oh, my math was wrong. Because it's alternating...

Alternating squares, so it's four per row, but it's... But there's an extra row. Right, yeah. Do you guys know what they call checkers in the UK? Drapes. Yeah. Petrol. And it's drafts with an A-U-G-H, which as a kid.

I just could not get my mind around. Drops. And I listened to the pronunciation. I was like, oh, I'm not going to say it like that. Cards in a standard bicycle card deck, including the Joker's. But not including the instruction cards. Including the Joker, not including the instructions? Yeah.

Okay. 54, 54, yes, 54. 52 in the standard deck, two Joker. Two jokers. You guys are good. tiles and a domino set okay chris says 32

Karen says 64 and Colin says 28 it's 28 oh somebody knows dominoes yeah because when you play with four people you have to drop down

elements on the operations board. Oh, man. I've got a man. All right. This is going to be like a closest two. Yeah. Closest two without going over. We'll be prices right. I'm sure I'm estimating high. All right.

Ready? Colin says 19. Karen says 11. Chris says 12. Chris is the closest. It's 13. No. It was 12, but they added one more in 2004. Do you know which one it was? Yes. We talked about this before. We have talked about this before. It's not

Not cheese. So you're just going to have to estimate. All right. Price is right rules. All right, Colin says 40, Karen says 72, Chris says 68. Karen's the closest. It's 108. Oh, wow.

Yeah, it's a lot. Oh, now you're right. Yeah. Draw two, wild. The special cards. Okay, draw two, wild, pass or skip. Skip. Reverse.

All right. Colin says 10. Karen says 9. Chris says 15. It's 14. Wow. Chris went over. Oh, it went over.

So I got it. I was just trying to think of the clubs in a standard set. It's really heavy. You could have one wood, two, with three wood, and then the nine irons. Then you could have a sand wedge, a pitching wedge, and a putter. But maybe you can't have two wedges. How about, last question, how about tiles in the basic Chinese set of Mahjong? Oh, snap.

Okay. One to not. One to nine. Foursuits. All right, hold on, hold on, hold on. I'm doing math. Four, two. I'm never going to get it, so.

Wins. Wins times four. Okay, you know what, I'm just going to approximate. All right. There we go. Colin says 216. Karen says 256. Chris says 200.

It's 144. Whoa. It's the basic set. We all lose. You can have different numbers. You can actually have 136, but 144 is the most common. All right. Those are like expansion packs.

Yeah. Because it's 144 for the suits, for all the tiles in the suit, in the four suits. Right, right. The basic set. What ifs. When Johann Rawl received the letter on Christmas Day 1776, he put it away to read later. Maybe he thought it was a season's greeting and wanted to save it for the fire. side. But what it actually was

was a warning, delivered to the Hessian colonel, letting him know that General George Washington was crossing the Delaware and would soon attack his forces. The next day, when Rawl lost the battle of Trenton and died from two colonial boxing day musket balls, the

letter was found, unopened in his vest pockets. As someone with 15,000 unread emails in his inbox, I feel like there's a lesson there. Oh well, this is the constant, a history of getting things wrong. I'm Mark Chrysler. Every episode, we look at the bad ideas, mistakes, and accidents that misshaped our world.

My history can beat up your politics. Find me wherever you get podcasts. All right, is this snack time yet?

Is it snack time? Can we take our snack quiz? It is taste test snack time. Yeah. All right, so just a quickly intro here. I have brought back varieties of well-known brands from Taiwan for you guys to sample without seeing the packaging, without anything. So I have some pringles, I have some Doritos, and I have some lays potato chips, all in varieties marketed in Taiwan.

Okay. Not flavors you can buy here, as far as I know. So, dear listener, I will tell you before the rest of the crew samples, so you know what the flavor is ahead of time, which I think will heighten the hilarity. Okay. So here we go. We'll start off with the first taste test. We'll savor it, and then we'll think about it. It can be a discussion.

I like the wine taste of me. It tastes like razors, calling out. So here's our first option. These are some Pringles. So why don't you guys sample? And tell me what flavor do you think these are? The Pringles flavor is chicken soup. There's just sort of a reddish-orange kind of thing going on in these.

I don't want that to necessarily get. And I'll be eating them as well, too. Oh, okay. It tastes like the seasoning from instant noodles. It just tastes like salt. It's a little onion-y. if we just lick the seasoning, not eat the chip, because that would be distracted. Dano had a pretty good guess.

Dana, you're definitely, you're in the ballpark, for sure. And you need sweet onion or something like that. So a lot of these treats, you know, are also Japanese. So, Chris, you may even be able to read some Japanese in some of these packages. Karen's got a guess here before I would reveal. French onion soup. It is gourmet consomme. Whoa.

Chicken soup flavor. Chicken soup, basically. Hold on. The picture is of a Pringle's chip taking a bath and a bath in a, a bathtub, and the showerhead is a soup ladle. Yeah, I'm not sure if that's intentional or not, but it does look like that. It's a giant pringles chip and a bowl of soup. You know what it is?

When we see the picture, it makes it taste like what we're looking at. Yeah, you're like, oh, yeah. Right. The sight and the knowledge of what it's supposed to be affect how you. I think, I think Dana's absolutely right. I think it really tastes more like instant noodle ramen powder than anything else. It tastes at ramen broth. Yeah, so chicken soup flavor pringles.

Alright, so cleanse the palettes. Take a soup of your water here, and we will move on to the second taste treat. I just want to keep eating them. Yeah, it's so salty and delicious. All right, we are now on to our second taste treat. These will be a variety of Doritos. The Doritos flavor is American Hot Wings. It smells like Doritos.

No, first of all, they're shaped like lightning balls. Yeah. Oh, these are good. It tastes like the way. scribes and sniff pizza knickers smell is what it's... They're a little spicy. Okay. A little bit a little bit... A little spicy.

Okay. Okay. Definitely tomato and onion-based. Okay, so you've got some sweet spicy tomato-y. I want to say like wings or something, but what is it? It doesn't taste like buffalo wings. Oh, man, you guys are dancing all around it. Oh, really? This is American Hot Wings flavor. Whoa.

You were right on it, Karen. Yeah. wings. Yeah. And it's got a picture of buffalo wings, yeah, with the ranch sauce and and the celery. There's no mistaking, that's what they mean. They don't taste like buffalo wings. It doesn't like more like barbecue wings. So as far as I know, this is what Taiwanese people think that we eat

late at night in America. It's hot ones. And they're not that far off the mark. All right, well, you guys are faring remarkably well here. We go pretty good. I think I saved what might be the most strange flavor, at least not one that I associate with chips for the So we'll see how we go here.

Let's do this. All right, well, here we go. This is our final taste treat. This is a variety of Laze potato chips. Okay. The Lays flavor is Kewsu's seaweed. This one is truly a beast for the sense of it. They're covered in, like, black pepper or something.

Seawweed. Oh, yeah, I mean, it's little green flakes. It definitely tastes like seaweed. Oh, it's, it's salt. healthy from the sea. It tastes fishy. It's really good. All right. Well, you guys have very quickly outed what this is. Yeah, it is not just seaweed, but Kyushu seaweed. Oh, amazing. So, yes, you guys from the site, and you can tell it was little seaweed chunks, and yes, specifically Kushoe seaweed. Yeah, in Japan, I've had

like Hokkaido melon tic-kats. They get really specific. Yeah. Well, also, the descriptions specify the flavor is that they're also like charcoal. They're, they're, they're grilled, charcoal-grilled sea leaves. There is a smokiness. It's true, and there's a little picture of a habacchi on there as well, yeah. And Qshu is one of the regions of Japan. And so it's sort of like geographically identified, oh, this is Qshu seaweed. Well, you know, it's funny.

It tastes like MSG. The little gross seaweed sheets are fast becoming a treat among kids in the States, like not Japanese kids. Oh, it's true, yeah. So good job, guys. You did, I would say, on the whole, a very good to excellent job rating. I thought they're going to be weirder. You know, there weren't that many just crazy, crazy ones. Like I saw, they had, like, a crab chip flavor.

They, I mean, honestly, there were all things that, you know, especially, like, in the last few years, even American chips. They have pizza chips. I mean, we're selling tacos wrapped in Doritos for crying out loud in America. So it was pretty tough for me to find just really wacky, goofy ones. But I thought these were three flavors that you, maybe in the Buffalo Wingless. They might sell that here. Thanks.

Oh. So I think we all agree, the Kyushu seaweed potato chips are the best. I like the chips, or the soup-flavored chips. I love MSG. It tastes so good. Yeah, it does. It really is so sweet on your lips. It really does make things taste better. It really does.

Umami. All right. Yeah, that was the tastest break we've had in a while. All right, I hope everybody enjoyed our break. We enjoyed it. Hopefully listeners, you enjoyed it too. And you're listening to Good Job Brain. And this week is our All Quiz Bananza number 13.

where we made quizzes for each other, and it is my turn. I want to start off this segment with this quick question. Get your buzzers ready. All right. What American Game Show was once hosted by comedian Louis Anderson?

All together. Family feud. Yay! We did it all together, right. Wow. Fajibro, we all are. And who hosts?

Family Feud now. Steve Harvey. Yes, Steve Harvey. That's right. It actually has been said that Steve Harvey is, quote, saving the show. Viewership went way up when he started taking hosting duties. And for a good reason, he's quite the sassy character on the show. He's a big personality.

I mean, I think I watched an episode that he did, and it was like, they're emphasizing the dirty jokes a little bit more. A lot of dirty jokes. In the show, previously they would sort of fly under the radar, you know, like you could think of a dirty answer, but now, like, the things actually have the dirty answers in them. So, yeah, right, which makes sense. So let me describe, for those of you guys who are not familiar with the game Family Feud, let me describe the basic kind of game mechanic of the show.

So two families or groups are on each side, and they're competing against each other to name the most popular answers or responses to survey questions. questions posed to 100 people. I think what I find it really fascinating is that unlike other game shows like Wheel of Fortune or Jeopardy or Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, there's no idea of the right answer. There's no wrong or right. And to advance or to progress, you have to guess what other people are guessing. What do I think a supposedly average slice of America thinks? You can have a fantastic answer, but if other people didn't guess it, it's timed and you want to beat the clock so you would just kind of say whatever's on your mind but then also keep in

mind that maybe that answer is just weird to your own personal kind of opinion or you have to kind of keep in mind what are other people answering so you get a lot of people blurting out horribly yeah exactly yeah so let's play a little bit of family feud everybody I research some of the odd or eccentric or just kind of like say what questions that have been on the show I want you guys to first give me two answers one answer is immediately what your instinct tells you okay and the second answer is what you think is the most popular answer when surveyed to a hundred people okay okay yeah let's write down so no buzzing here we go who is the celebrity you would most hate to sit next to on a long flight well i'm going to share with you guys what my initial thought

was, uh, for me it was Jay Leno. Okay. Huh. All right. Chris, initial response. Michael Moore. It's the first thing I thought of. But nobody's going to answer that. Uh, Jennifer Anderson. Because whenever somebody says, what celebrity, like, she's always the first one that comes to mine? Oh, okay. And I also, we don't want to sit next one. She's like the celebrity of celebrities. Yeah. My immediate answer was Lindsay Lowen. Okay. What do you guess, Chris, that is the most popular answer from the survey? I feel like the most popular answer would be Stebo from Jackass.

Because he would probably be stapling things to himself, and I don't think people would really want to sit next to him. I personally would. Gilbert Godfrey, because he has the voice. That's good. I put Donald Trump. I don't necessarily think he would be a bad passenger, but I think just people don't like him.

Okay. The most popular answer with 12 people, that's the majority, is Roseanne Barr. You know, I thought about it. That's funny. She ran through my head there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The next, the number two place is with seven people answered Jim Carrey. Okay, I can see that too.

All right, next one. Name a famous pig. What your initial response is, and then what you think people answered. All right. My initial response is Porky. Me too. That was my very gut response, too. I said Bade.

Miss Piggy was my first. Oh, Miss Piggy. So what do you think? people answered? Well, to have another one, I put Wilbur. Oh. I put Babe as my more considered answer, just thinking that younger people might know Babe better. But I would still say that Borgie is my considered answer.

Porky's good, though. Survey says, number one answer, babe. 44 people. I think it skews younger. I think it skews younger, too. But 44 people, 43 people put Porky. Oh, okay. All right.

We're all over this thing. Yeah, very good. No, there's Miss Piggy, which is the next one, which is three people. So really localized around Babe and Porky. The famous pig club, not a big club, yeah. They should team up on Broadway. All right, don't forget, initial response and then popular response. Here we go.

Name something women get excited about. Oh, good work. This is also like a personality test, kind of. Like, shows your character. Yeah, what do you think of? Yeah, right, yeah, exactly. It shows how unintentionally sexist. This is one of those things where I have a feeling that we're going to be both sexist and correct.

So my initial response is a sale. I said shopping. I said shopping. I said shoes. Oh, yeah. What do you think people answered? I put, if it's not shopping, I put going out as if like going out for a night out of the town. I put hunky guys because I feel like that's what would show up on a family feed board.

I put chocolate. I don't think that's that crazy. That's not. Sale, shoes, chocolate, going out. Funky guys. Well, what is it? Jewelry. Maladina.

Didn't even cross my life. This one's a bit of an oddball. If you inherited a million dollars tonight, what's the first thing you'd do to Tomorrow morning. All right. All right. My initial response is go eat breakfast. You remember the literal end.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah. My gut response was buy a car. So I thought other people would say quit my job. I wouldn't quit my job, but I felt like people would say that. Yeah, the first thing that came to my mind was quit your job as an answer. Because I think I've just been so conditioned of what's the, oh, I'm going to quit my job. Yeah.

So that was the first thing popped to my mind. And my considered answer of what I think maybe higher up is I put buy mom a car slash house. Yeah, or buy mom a car? Right. Yeah, no, I was my considered answer after buy a car was quit my job. Oh, the reverse. Survey says most popularly answer, buy a car. Makes sense.

Very American. It didn't even cross my mind. Name something that's so noisy you wish it had never been invented. so specific it's like I feel like it's never invented yeah my gut reaction is babies

because they are noisy both my gut and considered answer were car alarms oh that's good well my immediate answer was lawnmower and I wanted to make that my second answer

but having a hearing Dana's car alarm I bet that's right I bet that's right I also thought of vacuums. Because I was trying to think of something that you really wouldn't want to live without. You know what I mean?

Like we all say like, oh, those damn airplanes, but you don't want to have no airplanes. Mine was Vuvuzela. That was my initial response. Like, what is the loudest, most nor do you think? Okay, top three answers.

Number one, motorcycles. Ah, okay. Which makes sense because you're right. It's not everybody. Right, the average person doesn't write a motorcycle. The average person is annoyed

by the sound of them. Number two is very specific. Rap music. That's music. Good way. I know exactly who they were talking. Number three is Jack Hammer. You know, I thought about that, actually.

I just didn't think enough people encountered Jack Hammers. Maybe I guess working in the city. When you do, you know it. Yeah, it's true. It's true. All right, last question. This is really weird and random. Name me something.

Bill Gates cannot buy. Man, how, yeah, how metaphysical is the survey audience feeling. My initial response was Apple. Okay, yeah, true. It might be difficult. Yeah, he probably could do it if you really wanted to. All right, initial response. Okay, well, the first thing I said so that I would make sure this would be aired on family food was a woman's touch.

But then reconsidering this, he probably could, yes. I'm fairly certain that there are places in the world. But then I said love, because I was thinking of the Beatles. And I bet it shows up on the list. I said love as well. Yeah. The first thing that came to my mind was, fashion like you can't buy a sense of fashion but he could um but then my more considered answer

was happiness yeah considered answer was happiness number one answer 29 people love right number two happiness number three country are you i yeah i think it means our country by a country just not yeah our country there you go awesome job you guys A little round of family food. So we should not go on the family queue. No, we should not. No, apparently we would not go to it. No, I will do really badly.

If we go on the family food, let's not throw out our first instincts. So, over the course of these many episodes of Good Job Brain, we have done first in line, the famous first lines of movies and books and things of that nature. We've done last in line, famous last lines of written pieces of things. So now it's famous lines from somewhere in the middle. Exactly in the middle, because I'd be super impressed. You know, somewhere in the... I think we made that. Somewhere in the...

Yes. What's interesting about this is these are going to be some very famous movie quotes. And I just... I'm quoting these because it is fascinating how just a few well-placed words can bring to life an entire universe. And so you may find these a little on the easy side. But importantly, as with all good quizzes, there is a theme. Oh. So I want you thinking about the theme.

All right. And if you know what the theme is before the quiz is over, you know, definitely say, like, I know what it is, just to sort of mark your territory. That's fine. Okay. Life is like a box of chocolate. Faina. Forest gum. Yes. Hello, Clarice.

Karen. Silence of the lambs, uttered by the immortal Hannibal Lecter. We're going to need a bigger boat. Colin. Oh, that's Jaws. It is Jaws. Yes, okay. All right, I know the...

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest one of all? Karen. Snow white. Snow white and the seven dwarves. Yes. The film. Okay.

This is a little tougher. Badges? We don't need no stinking badges. Dana? Trip Beverly Hills. It appears in True Beverly Hills. It is a homage to... Often referenced.

I believe it's from Treasure of the Sierra Madre. Treasure of the Sierra Madre, yes, referenced in Blazing Saddles. reference to patches, we don't need no stinking patches. I've heard matches. We don't need no stinking matches. Badgers. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth.

Karen? A few good men. A few good men. Yes, yes. Shouted from the witness stand. Are you trying to seduce me, Mrs. Robinson? Dana? The graduate.

Yes. If you build it, they will. Holland. That's a field of dreams. It is Field of Dreams. Play it against. Sam. Karen.

Casablanca. Casablanca. Do you feel lucky punk? Oh, which one? Colin? I believe that was dirty hair. That was dirty hair, yes. So, that's our quiz.

Can anybody guess the theme? Do you guys think you know the theme? Yes. Karen said she thinks she knows it. Colin, how do you feel? Honestly, I stopped paying attention when Karen said she knew it. Okay. Oh, yeah, I think I do.

You think so? Okay. Do you guys want to write down what you think the theme is? You know, I'll take a guess. and what the theme of this famous, famous movie quotes quiz is. Do you know, listener, John Q. Public, driving in your car to work? There's a couple themes. There is one major overriding theme, yes.

There's one, there's one big one. I was thinking it was like it was tied to the theme songs of the various movies. I wrote movies based on literature. books. Uh, that is not the theme. Dana? They won some kind of Academy Award? That is not the theme.

I'll read one more, uh, very famous, often quoted line from a movie. All right. Then maybe this one will be, make a little bit more obvious. Okay, ready? Luke, I am your father. Karen? It is on the AFI's most memorable movie quote list. Um, that was from the...

Well, first of all, what movie was it from? That was from the Empire Strikes Back. Sure it was. Karen, do you... know? Are they all movies scored by John Williams? They're not all movies scored by John Williams. A lot of them are. Yes. Well, the first thing is, yeah, something with the music. But no, they all have famous score. Would you, would you like me to give it to you guys? Yeah. Okay. I tried my best.

But these are all misquoted movie lines. Okay. So, oh, all these lines ever appeared in these movies. Okay. So, no way. When you got to Casablanca, I want to just, I want to mark my territory now. I didn't want to jump in. I didn't want to jump in and ruin your quiz. I was going to save an um actually for the end because that was the only one that I knew was false. Okay. And again, like the Luke I'm your father, like again, that is also a misquote. Yes. So Forrest Gump says, my mom always said life was like a box of chocolates. Not life is. Like a box of chocolates. Wow. I don't thinker never says Hello Clarees. He does at one point say good evening Clary's. He never says hello Clary's. It's you're going to need a bigger boat,

not we're going to be a bigger boat. It's not mirror mirror on the wall. It's magic mirror on the wall. And everybody just says mirror mirror for some reason. Wow. In Treasure of Sierra Madre, they say badges, we ain't got no badges. We don't need no badges.

I don't have to show you any stinking badges. It's great. It's not you want the truth. You can't handle the truth. One character says, I want the truth. And then the whole line is, you can't handle the truth.

The line from the graduate is Mrs. Robinson. you're trying to seduce me, aren't you? In Casablanca, as Colin pointed out, it's play it once, Sam, for old time's sake. Play as time goes by. Field of Dreams, it is if you build it, he will

come. Everybody thinks of a day will car. Dirty Harry never says do you feel lucky, punk. He says, you've got to ask yourself one question. Do I feel lucky? Well, do you punk? And finally, Darth Vader never says, Luke, I am your father.

Even though people always say, Luke, I am your father. Now, what people have surmised about all of these is that, okay, so for example, no, I am your father, doesn't make any sense out of context because you don't know who's saying what to whom and what no is in reference to. It needs another line for context. So all of these misquotes are people recontextualizing the movie and reworking the quote into something that works as a little soundbite by itself.

Wow. And also, I mean, a big part of this is also that, by and large, almost all these quotes are from an era when it was not easy to check quotes. I mean, today, I'm being totally serious. Like, today it's very easy to go online and double check the accuracy. Oh, you could easily get into a bar fight with somebody over whether or not Darth Vader said, Luke, I am your father, or said, or said, no, I am your father. Right, but short of going down to the video store and renting it yourselves, yeah. Exactly. The easiest thing was to just start throwing punches. And also, I mean, something else they came across.

is although two characters say the phrase, may the Force be with you in the first Star Wars movies, Obi-Wan Kenobi is not one of them. He had no time ever says, May the Force be with you. Who does? One of the admirals, I think, does. There's one guy who says it,

and then Hans Solo does at the end of the movie. Wow, wow, did not see that coming. Why, you fooled us all? Hello, this is Matt from the Explorers podcast. I want to invite you to join me on the voyages and journeys of the most famous explorers in the history of the world. At the Explorers podcast, we plunge into jungles and deserts, across mighty oceans and frigid ice caps, over and to the top of Great Mountains, and even into outer space. These are the thrilling and captivating stories of Magellan, Shackleton, Lewis, and Clark,

and so many other famous and not so famous adventures from throughout history. So come give us a listen. We'd love to have you. Go to Exploryspodcast.com or just look us up on your podcast app. That's the Explorers Podcast. All right, we're coming close to an end. And Colin, you have a last trivia segment for us, last quiz segment. I do. So as I was traveling around a lot recently, I was trying to think.

He sounds so continental. As I was traveling around. As I was circumnavigating the globe in the spruce goose. I got to thinking about internationalization. They said to my man service. In particular, I was spending a lot of time on the internet, got to thinking about domain. We have the dot com and dot gov and those regular, what we call top-level domains. There are also country code domains.

Every country has its own two-letter domain code. So I have a quiz for you called Out of My Domain. and all of these questions are geared around your knowledge and perhaps your ability to guess country codes around the world and there's some interesting trivia caught up in some of these it's really fascinating so just very quickly for a few examples um some of the two-letter country codes are very to make a lot of sense especially if you're an english speaker because they are without a doubt sort of oriented toward english speakers but a lot of them are keyed toward the language as spoken in that country so let me give a few examples you know uh like dot pk

is the country code for Pakistan and dot MX is the two-letter country code for Mexico. Right. A lot of them make sense, especially if the name of the country is the same as it is in English in particular. Spain is dot E.S. Right, because for Espania. All right. So you guys kind of get the gist here. So some of these are a little tricky.

We'll do this lightning round style. So I'm going to read them off. And if you guys know it, just buzz and say it. I'll give you the two-letter country code. You tell me the country represented by that country code. All right. All right, here we go. Dot IT. Italy.

Correct. Dot A.L. Chris. Algeria. Not Algeria. Oh, Chris again. Albania. Albania.

Dot A.U. All right, which one is it? Which one is it? Karen. Australia. It is Australia. Anyone know what Austria is? If I had a guess, A.T. A.T. It is. Austria is A-T. Australia is A-T.

dot v a chris the vatican it is the vatican dot dj dot dj djada dada jabooty oh wow dj all right we're going to mix us up a little bit

who knows what the two letter country code for china is karen c h it is not c h dana uh c n it is c n yes for people's republic of China. Dot, C.H. comes from the country's official name, which is Confedarazio Helvetica.

Oh. Karen, I think how to get. Switzerland. It is Switzerland. Yes. Dot C.H is Switzerland. That's a really tricky one. All right, very quickly, a couple double-letter ones here.

Oh. What country is dot m-M-M? It is an Asian country. Karen. Myanmar. Yes, Myanmar is M.M. What country is dot B.B. Karen, again.

Barbados. Yes. Here's a good trivia one. The country code dot DD was proposed it was never actually implemented it's one letter away from an active domain

Karen. Germany? Yes Yes, D.D. was proposed for East Germany. Yes, from Deutsch-democratic Republic and the Germany reunified before they had a chance to actually put it into widespread practice so dot DE for Deutschland now covers all of what was formerly

East and West Germany. Wow, cool. All right. Very quickly here, we'll close out here with some examples of two-letter domain codes. For the most part, the countries that the codes are issued to, the countries control the codes. And for a lot of countries, you can't register those domains unless you are a resident or doing business in that country. There are several examples of countries that have licensed out the ability to register domains in that country. Sometimes it makes a lot of money for the country. Sometimes it's just another revenue stream. So I'll give you guys one example. If you guys post links on Twitter or on the web,

you may have used Bitley before. So, what country is the dot-l-y domain? Oh, wow. Chris. Lithuania? Nope. Liberian? No. No. It is Libyan. Dot L.Y is the country code for Libya. Got it. And through

arrangements with domain resellers and licenses, they have opened up a chunk of the domains that Bitley, an American company, uses to do link shortening. Yes. Some people actually don't like the fact that using Bitley is, in some sense, supporting the Libyan regime. It's not as big a deal

now that Gaddafi is out of power. But Bitley does, in fact, maintain other non-Libian domain servers. Wow, that's so clever. Again, let's stick with Twitter and link shortening. If you post photos on Twitter and other services, you'll notice that the link is a dot-c-c-o. T-Co is Twitter's link shortening.

There's also Overstock uses O-Co. What country is dot-C-O. Croatia? Not Croatia. Oh. Czechoslovakia? Not Czechoslovakia. It is Colombia. Colombia is .Co.

And again, they have licensed out the dotCO domain to a company that specializes in reselling. Wow. Here's my favorite example of this, though, and we'll land on a very uplifting note. Dot TV, Dana. Tuvalu. Oh, not Transylvania? Dot TV domain is one of the primary. means of revenue for the country of Tuvalu.

Oh, that's great. In the late 80s, a very forward-thinking investor negotiated the rights to DotTV to resell those to companies. As you can imagine, particular in English, TV has a lot of cash-a. My company is Dot TV. There you go. That's right. So you are contributing to the well-being of the Tuvalin people.

$50 million deal spread out over several years when they first licensed it. Now, that may not sound like a lot, but given the size of Tuvalu and compared to what their gross domestic product is. So this is a feel-good story that the government realized we don't have need for all of these domains necessarily. For our little... We need all the infinite domains that could precede dot TV. So let's license some of them out. Most of the networks, most of the pro sports teams will all have their dot TV and you're supporting Tuvalu. That's just a flavor of the fun stories hiding beneath international domains. And that's our show. Thank you guys for joining me. And thank you guys, listeners, for listening
