And all of us have prepared quizzes to quiz each other. you guys, the listeners, and to kick off this all-quiz Bananza number 14, let's jump into our usual general trivia segment, pop quiz, hot shot. And here I have random trivial pursuit cards.

Ah, these are so, mm, okay. These are bottom of the barrel. They're very like, you know it or you don't, so they're not really fun trivia questions, but let me shuffle some of these around. You got to take what they give you sometimes. A trivia works that way sometimes. Yeah, I guess so. Well, here's a good example. Man. Blue Wedge for Geography.

What two states share the Cumbrus and Toltec Scenic Railroad? Okay. Dana. So Toltec, I'm going to guess it's maybe New Mexico or somewhere. Whoa. All right. What's the other state? Arizona?

Incorrect, Colin. It is Colorado. Colorado, New Mexico. Okay. All right, Pink Wedge for Pop Culture. What is rapper Eminem? M's real name. Oh, that was Colin.

No, it was. We can do it at the same time. I think they know it's Marshall Mathers. Yes, M and M. Yellow Wedge. What Lawrence is Lawrence of Arabia about? I feel like we got a lot of Lawrence Arabia Pursuit. That's T.H. Lawrence, right?

Incorrect, Chris, you got to guess? I don't know. It is T.E. Lawrence. Oh. British officer who became involved in the Arab revolt during World War I. Yep. Okay, Purple Wedge.

What Cormac McCarthy book did the Cohen brothers adapt into a best picture Oscar winner? Chris. No country for old men. Yes, correct. Greenwich for science. What insect builds a mound that can be 30 feet high? Colin. I think those are termites.

Philly Gilmore All right all quiz Bonanza number 14 Who wants to start? I'll start. I have a quiz. I can quiz you guys on. This is the point of the episode. I'll quiz you good.

Quiz you so good. You wish I'm no quizzing so good. So let me ask you guys this. Do you know the name Robert Galbraith? Does anyone know? Dana, Dana, you know? This is J.K. Lawrence's pin name. J.K. Rowlings.

J.K. Rowlings. So in April of this year, a new book, a a murder mystery called The Cuckoo's Calling was released by a debut author named Robert Galbraith. And just a couple of weeks ago, it was revealed that, and she did not want this reveal. It was revealed that it was in fact a new book by J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter books. And she, and of course, J.K. Rowling had published a non-Hary Potter book since the next series. Yeah, yeah. But she wanted to release a book, you know, without any hype or any build-up or expectations. And unfortunately, the law firm that represented her, one of the people who

worked there told a friend of his, and then she apparently put it on Twitter. And J.K. Rowling was ticked off. The lawyer told his wife's best friend. His wife's best friend. Who just ran to Twitter and spilled it all. Yeah. She is not happy. It's certainly not happy with the law firm. Despite the fact that it increased sales, that wasn't what she was after. No. Right. Exactly. Well, yes, sales of the people was calling. How ironic that it was a law firm. I know. Yeah, sales of the book jumped 500,000 percent, as you might imagine, from nothing to everybody wanted to get their hands on it. And, of course, you read the reviews that came out in April, and it's like, this is a new writer really worth watching, a stellar debut. And, in fact, got a lot better reviews than the post-Hary Potter book that J.K. Rowling put out with her own name on it, interestingly enough.

So raising some questions. Now, this was not a unique move on the part of J.K. Rowling, because many authors have used so. pseudonyms over the years. So I, this is the quiz, about nom de plume, and I will give you the real name of the person. I'm giving you the real name. Okay. And you tell me what pseudonym they wrote under. Okay. Okay. So there might be a chance that the pseudonym is more famous than the real name. Yes. Okay. In fact, the pseudonyms are almost always more famous in the real name, because you know the pseudonym. Got it. But sometimes it's not the case. Okay. We'll start with an easy one. Samuel Clemens

Sounds like Colin Mark Twain Yes Samuel Clemens took the name Mark Twain Charles Luttwich Dodson Oh Also Colin Louis Carroll

Indeed Louis Carroll Stephen King Karen Richard Bachman Richard Bachmann Yeah that's the only one All right Great

Eric Arthur Blair Eric Arthur Blair What was the fictitious pen name that he wrote under Is it E.B. White? It's not E.B. White. Eric Arthur Blair wrote under the name, George Orwell.

Oh. I think I... Yeah. Let's see. Snapy. George Orwell is snappy. Um, Theodore Gaisal. Oh, yeah. Colin.

It is Dr. Seuss. Yes. Do you know the other pen name that he wrote under sometimes? I know he wrote under the name Rosetta Stone at least once. Is that true? I was like, it was like, it was a full name. It was like Dr. Theophilus. Or something like that. He also, he wrote some books under the name Theo Laseig, which his Geisel spelled backwards.

That's right. That's right. That's very doctors. How about Joseph Teodor Conrad Korsenioski? Yeah. Colin? That's Joseph Conrad. That is Joseph Conrad.

Yes. Buried in his actual name is the pen name that he took. Okay. Let's get a little more difficult here. Pauline Phillips and Esther Pauline Letterer. Oh. This is a dear Abby. Anne Landers and Abby.

Yes, yes. Yes. Pauline Phillips wrote under the name. Do you know what her, the pen name was? The column, the advice column she wrote was Dear Abby. It was Abigail Van Buren. Abigail Van Buren. Oh, so presidential. And Anne Landers.

It wasn't like they were good friends, those two sisters, like, and, oh, we'll each read an advice column. It'll be so fun. No. They were bitter competitors. Really? Yeah, there were, years would go by without them to speak to each other. They're sisters. They're twins.

They're twin sisters. What a weird thing. That's a lot of busybodies and one family. One of them started, took over an advice column, and the other one did the exact same thing. They're like, stop copying me. Basically, yeah. Daniel Handler. Dana.

Lemony Snicket. Lemony Snicket. Yes, series of unfortunate events. Mary Ann Evans. Who is Mary Ann Evans? Well, it's a lady. It is the lady. As a hint, she took a man's name famously, yes.

Oh, really? Yes. Is it like George Eliot? It is George Eliot. Yes. Marion Evans took the men's name George Lillian. Charles Dickens knew. He wrote a letter to her famously and was like, it's a man,

but I kind of think you're a woman because of the way you write these characters. I've never seen a man write characters from this point of people. And finally, Ramona Lofton. What pen name does Ramona Lofton write, Hunter? Karen. Stephanie Myers? No. That was pretty funny.

Stephanie Myers, I think that is her real name. She is not ashamed. Colin. Is that Danielle Steele? It's not Daniel Steele. Oh, that's a good guess. Because that sounds like a fake name, doesn't it? Ramona Lofton is the real name of the author, Sapphire, as in Precious based on that we're pushed by Sapphire.

Yes. I did not know that. Yeah. All right. Well, now you've learned some things. Man, a lot of things. We got schooled. Yeah, totally. Totally got schooled. All right, I have a quiz for you guys. Yeah.

So you definitely know the answers to all these questions, but it's, can you figure them out in time? No. Who can figure them out first? One of you will not be leaving today. Three people enter. Three people leave. Wait a minute. Okay.

Okay. So I have a list of anagrams. I have a list of words with their letters mixed up, and they spell out country names when you rearrange them. Okay. So these are all... And we can't write them down. You could, I think you could do it in your mind, maybe. You're competing against each other to see you can do it first. Okay. Visual thinker. All right. First one. We'll start out easy and we'll get a little bit trickier. Okay. All right. Chain. Karen. China. Yes. We send. We send. We send. Sweden. Yes. Tango. Colin. Nope.

Tango? It's an island nation. Tonga. I think at the same time, yeah. How about also? Louse. Rain, R-A-I-N. Chris.

All right. Rabies. R-A-B-I-E-S. Siberia? No. No. That's not a region. Serbia.

I'm writing with my finger. You can write. Everybody can write with their finger unless you're driving. Unless you're driving. S-E-R-I-A-L. Israel. Yes. Oh, wow.

Tough for when you're not writing it down. I just feel so, like the longer it takes, the dumber I feel, when we get it. How about this? Lizard noots. Lizard noots. Switzerland. Yes. Oh, that's good.

Lizard noots. Yes. Angerism. Whoa. Yeah. A-N-E-U-R-I-S-M. Not Malaysia. I'm going by something like something I-A, you know, like, can't end with I.

Right. No. Oh, it's Surin-on? Yes. Oh, wow. Is there a Y in there? No. No, and yours is it's I-S-M, right?

Yeah. Oh. Tricky. Acrimonies. A-C-R-I-M-O-N-I-E-S. Oh, Micronesia. Yes. Good job.

A good one. Bag handles. Bag handles. Bag handles. Oh, uh, Bangladesh. Yes. Moon race. Uh, Cameroon.

Yes. Wow. And the last one. A chaos fruit. Whoa. A chaos fruit. I mean, that's a long country name too with a F and a. Mm.

There's a lot of letters. It's a frustrating. Oh, chaos fruit. Mm. I give up. I give up. It is South Africa. Oh, two words.

That's right. Good job, you guys. Man, that was hard. Some of those are tough. That's good. All right, well, I've got a quiz for you guys called Cut to the Chase. Oh. And the theme of this quiz is I'm going to play you the chase scene music.

Oh, my God. From several hit movies. Okay. Okay, all right. After I put the quiz together, I realize these... Seems hard. Sounds hard. Okay, so I tried to pick really classic movies.

I am sure that you guys have seen all of the movies here. Okay. After I put them together, just purely coincidentally, or unintentionally, I should say, I noticed they're all 80s movies. So that's just another little hit right off the bat. Was it really unintentional? It really was. It really was unintentional.

I will tell you right off the bat, there are no Star Wars movies in here. Oh, I was going to say. I know. I know. So as these chunks of the score start to play, you may not notice them right away, But I think as it gets a little more familiar, you'll have that just burst of, oh, I know this. So here we go. First one. Wow.

It's, yeah. It's, uh, Dena, it is E.T. Yeah, it is ET, extraterrestrial. So in the beginning of the clip, I was, A, I recognized it was John Williams. And I was for sure, like, I was like, oh, it's Indiana Jones. I was like, it's Indiana Jones. It's Indiana Jones, but I was like, oh, what part of it? Yeah, it was very Indiana Jones, and then got whimsical. Yeah.

And then it was like, wait a minute. And then inspiration. Yeah. And you're like, oh, okay. All right, here we go. Next track up. Oh, and that was from, of course, the BMX chase scene toward the end of the movie. All right, here we go.

Next one. I think I think I was Karen. Oh, man, which one? Okay, that's also John Williams. It is not John Williams. It is not, what? It is not John Williams. I was going to guess.

But we're only holding you to the movie here. It's in the style of John Williams, I think. And if it happens to be from a franchise, I'll only hold you to the franchise. Oh, really? Is he a bad answer? Oh, oh, sorry, sorry. Indiana Jones. No, incorrect.

I don't know. Chris. Is it Jurassic Park? It is not Jurassic Park. That was 90s. Jeez, what movie was that? I don't know. It is from Back to the Future.

Oh, oh, man. Oh, sorry. Back to the future. Okay, all right. Yep. All right, here we go. I know. This is a rough show.

Here we go. This is another one of my favorites that's appeared in many other places aside from this movie. But it is really tied to this chasing in this movie. I thought you knew. So I have a, it is not this, I'm sure, but it sounds like Weekend at Burnies. It sounds Caribbean-y. Yeah. It's a comedy.

It is a comedy. It's more of a race, I suppose, than a chase if you want to be really literal. It involves the title character, Racing Home. It is from Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Oh! Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

You're getting our butts kick. It's really difficult to place that music when it's totally out of context. Yeah. Yeah. But it's amazing how all of you guys are like, oh, oh, oh, as soon as you get through the fences. That's right, that's right, when he's trying to get home before. Yeah, yeah. All right.

All right. All right, here we go. Another classic, and I'm confident. I'm confident, Karen, that you're going to get this one. Okay. It's about dogs. This must be Indiana Jones. Yeah.

What is the actual movie's name? Hold on. The Ark. They've actually renamed it from the... Oh, really? Yeah. Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yeah, it was Raiders of the Lost Ark that they've since renamed as Indiana Jones

and Raiders of the Lost Ark. That's Bologna, but okay. Yes, it's from the Desert Chase and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Yeah. All right, and I'll close it out here with one of my personal favorite chase themes. And it's not a Star Wars movie. Wow. All right.

Here we go. Any takers, Dana? I have two guesses. Okay. I have none. Cannonball run? No. The other one is Pee We's Big Adventure.

No, no. It's a by movie from directors we've mentioned earlier. It's from a Cohen Brothers family. Oh. Oh. Karen? Raising Arizona. Yes.

It was from the chase scene after he steals the diapers and raising it. You've never seen it. When you go home, watch that, if nothing else, just watch that chase scene. There's some dogs in it, if that is an enticement to you. I think it was a great chase scene, hilarious and exciting all in one. I have to watch that again. I think I was like nine years old or something when I watched that. All right.

All right. We're going to win one of these. We're going to do a good thing. Okay. Well, we'll take a quick little sweet break. I have a quiz. So I love pies. And, you know, when you go to the store or you, what was that mean?

Nothing. Pies are delicious and delightful. Okay. Is that we getting fat? No. Obviously. Meal. Meal.

So when you buy pies, or when I buy pies at a store, it's what you're buying is pretty clear in the name, right? You have like apple pie, key lime pie, berry pie, whatever, coconut cream pie. The flavor is in the name. However, there are some sweets and desserts where its name has nothing to do with the flavor. And so I have a quiz about pastry cake pie flavors that are named a name, but not necessarily. necessarily what, you know, after fruits or after the action flavor. All right. All right.

Sounds good. Sounds delicious. All right. First up, this is a classic Pennsylvaniaan Dutch pie made of molasses. Oh. Is this, uh, shoe fly pie? Yes, shoe fly pie. Never heard of that.

Really? Shoe fly pie. You got to drive up and down the East Coast as a child. Yeah, it is a East Coast thing. The name probably comes from because it's so sweet and sticky that flies attract and you have to shoe them. away. Oh, got it.

So shoe the fly away, pot. It's not made out of little shoes that are her fly. That's the first thing about. Or made of flies. Yeah, right. No, is it shoe, right. Yeah, from the same literary tradition as like hush puppies. Yeah.

Shoe flash. No, it's very like functional. Yeah, yeah. Hush the puppies. The shoe the fly. All right. This cake's ingredients include banana, pineapple, pecans, and cinnamon. And it's a staple in Southern American cooking.

Oh. It's named after an animal. Banana, pineapple, cinnamon, and pecans are the main ingredients. And it's named after an animal. Mm-hmm. Dog pie. I know. Donkey cake.

I don't know. It's a hummingbird cake. Really? Never heard of it. Sweet and delightful. What is the actual technical flavor of red velvet? Dana. Chocolate.

Just red food coloring chocolate? I'm looking for a specific term. Oh, I was going to say beets. It is cocoa. Oh, okay. Chocolate, yes, but specifically said cocoa is made. Okay. Dana doesn't look convinced.

I would contest that. So why is it red? You are actually totally correct, Chris. So when foods were rationed during World War II, a lot of bakers used beet juice to make. their cakes prettier and brighter, and that kind of just stuck around. Obviously, nowadays, they put red food coloring. Red dye number two. Yeah, there's some places out there who are still using beet juice to color their red velvet cakes.

But it makes it extra sweet. What is the difference between Black Forest Cake and German chocolate cake? They're not the same thing. I think that Black Forest Cake has like a topping on top of it of like chocolate crumbs or something of that nature. Yeah, I was going to get something like a fudge coating or something. And then German chocolate cake, that's the one with the kind of coconuty icing, like it's the brown icing. Yes, Dana's right. So, German chocolate cake is a chocolate cake with a coconut topping.

Okay. That's sticky, like caramel-y, like it's supposed to be coconut and pecan. And Black Forest Cake is chocolate cake with Kirsch or with cherries, with white and cherries. Oh, okay. So here's the thing. Black Forest Cake is from Germany. is a German cake. But German chocolate cake

is not German. It's named after Mr. German. Oh, I love stuff like that. So that's two very distinct. Was he from Germany? He's not from Germany. He's American. Well, what is this?

So, of course, one of my favorite cakes is the Tresleche's cake. It's a Mexican cake. And it's like the name, it's three milk. Three milk cake. What are the three milks in Tresletche's cake? Oh, man. It's delicious. Dana

So is one of Dulce? Is it like caramel-y milk? Nope No. Cows milk?

They're all cow's milk Oh, they are Oh, okay So, okay So like milk Like regular You know

Whatever milk Condensed milk And butter milk? No? Condensed milk I think it's like It's like a It is

Cream I don't know So cream Okay So heavy cream Yeah Condensed milk And

evaporated milk, of course. Okay. So this type of cake, its popularity took off in the 1920s and 30s, as it used many commercial shortcuts and pre-made ingredients and required no baking. Huh. No baking. And it's a cake or a pie? It's called a cake. What kind of cake? It's not pound cake, is it? Nope.

Oh. Is it an icebox? Yes, an icebox cake. This blew my mind. I didn't know this exist. It, so it's layers of gram crackers or wafers with cream. Oh, okay. Yeah. And what happens is when you put it in the icebox or the refrigerator, the wafers soak up the moisture from the cream. Yeah.

And then it becomes like a cake-like texture. So then you just slice it and eat it. Yep. Yep. That sounds tasty. This dessert is literally translated to Pick Me Up, and it may be related to one of the key ingredients in this dessert. Tiramisu Yes

Tiramisu Has coffee in it And it means Pick Me Up Metaphorically make me happy Yes I was like lady fingers Doesn't mean

Pick Me up Last one So this is also known as A Norwegian Omelet Totally doesn't sound like dessert But you might know It's more common name to commemorate the acquisition of an

American territory. What goes into an omelet? Norwegian omelet. The acquisition of a North American territory? Of an American territory. Hawaii? Like Hawaiian? Oh, I know this.

It is baked Alaska. Yes! With a meringue, right? Yeah, baked Alaska is basically an ice cream in the center covered in moraine and with cake and baked the moraine actually acts as an insulation

so the meringue gets cooked the egg whites get cooked but the ice cream stays frozen in the middle so it's like hot and cold and did the dish exist before the acquisition or was it just there are a lot of permutations of that type of idea of like let's fry or bake or heat up

something that's covered an ice cream or something icy well there you go something sweet just so you guys know I had to look at Oh, so much work. Look at a list and lists of pastries and cakes on Wikipedia. It was so great. They all had pictures, too.

Long time listeners to Good Job Brain might remember a segment that we did a few episodes back called Did Chris Get It Right in which I asked my fiance to ask me some questions that things that girls would immediately know but that boys may not know. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to ask Colin questions that Regina and some of her friends asked me. We'll see if you can figure it out. But then you guys all have to guess as to whether or not I was able to get it when the question was posed to me. And these are girly questions. These are girly. These are girly questions. Cover the spectrum from makeup to clothing to television shows to books to things, to middle school things, actually.

Okay. And so, yeah, we went, it went all over the place this time. We'll get this one started off. So what was the name, Colin, of Sabrina the Teenage Witch's Cat? Oh, man. Oh, gosh. No, yes, it's supposed to be easy for you, Ken. It was something like Dexter or Felix or...

Texer or... Oh, you're big of close. I don't remember. Karen? Salem. It was Salem. Oh, of course. Something witchy related.

Okay. That's a good question. That's a really good question. And just the most terrible cat puppet, right? It was just awful. So the movie Mean Girls, which figures into the lives of so many American women of this generation, was based on a book. What was the name of that book? Oh, okay.

I think I, yeah, it was something in Queen Bees, right? Wasn't it? I can't put it all again. It's not going to get you through Final Jeopardy. All right, no. Karen? It is Queen Bees and. And wannabies.

Yes. Queenies and wannabes. Now, did I know that? I'm going to say yes, you did. I say no. Say you knew part of it, but not all of it. That was Colin. No, I blew the whole bag.

What did you say? You're just like, no. I remember watching the movie, and it's like, oh, it's something and something, but I don't know what it. See, you got part of it. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Like, I knew that you'd heard of it, but not retained it. What is Raggedy Ann's boyfriend's name? Or, you know, Paramount. more or whatever. I see, I didn't know if they were related or not. Oh, or brother. I thought they were brother-in-s. It's Raggedy Andy, right?

Yes, yes, it is. I always thought Raggedy and Raggedy Andy were brother-in-so. That's what I thought. I thought they were like, you know. Oh, together. An adulterous couple living in sin. I don't know. Because it's not like their last names are the same.

Just their first name, Raggedy. I know. Well, they are the last two of their kind. Oh, yeah. Just to ensure the survival of the species. Maybe they're all of the above. We don't know. Let's not judge.

But did I know that? Yes. Yeah, I did know that. Yeah, it's pretty good. What are culots, Colin? Coolots. They're like, they're not quite a skirt. They're not quite pants.

They're not quite shorts. That's the first answer. That is true. Yeah, that's what they are. I thought they're like cut pants with wide legs that looks like. That is how it was explained to me was that they're shorts, but they're very wide in the leg so they look like sort of yeah they sort of look like a skirt now did I know that

I know this, but, yeah. I feel like our two co-hos know what this is. So what is a cootie catcher? It's like an origami little piece of paper that's folded up and you can bend it different ways. It's that Fortune Teller or origami. The fortune teller one, back and forth, back and forth. That is what it had been one of its many names. Now, did I know that?

I would think so. I'll say, you went to elementary school in America. I'll say no. You're right. Right, Colin. I did not know what that was. No, I mean, I knew that, you know, the origami fortune tellery thing that the girls played with. I didn't know that they had a name for. Yeah, exactly. Also, back in middle school, one of Regina's friends asked me, do you know what the pencil test is. Yeah. We'll see if Carla knows what the pencil test is. What is the pencil? I do know what the pencil test is. What? Oh, this is about bras, right? It is. Yeah. So the pencil test is, am I actually going to say what this is on the air? The pencil test is you lift up your boob and you put a pencil under it

Because I figured it wasn't one of the other, the big guns of boy bands. I'd never get to write the worst. You were right for the right reason. Yeah. Very good. So I did okay, I guess. I don't know. Open my eyes in some of those things.

I think you were pointed guys pretty well. Yeah. I was doing the pencil test for months. before I realize it's not going to happen yeah you're just not going to need that bra anytime soon so do people want to ace what what's acing the pencil test is that when I don't think it's it's not like a pencil exam it's more it's more like a like a litmus test yes yes yes that's good all right so I have a wordy kind of quiz it's in two parts and the second bar is going to be really dumb but we're going to do the first part first so

There are a lot of sayings in English, a lot of expressions that is word and word. So blank and blank. Peas and carrots, you know, over and over. Sure. What I'm going to do for the first part is I'm going to describe what it is and buzz in and let me know what blank and blank is. They're really short clues. So here we go. Get your buzzers ready.

A lot to flush it out But I'm going to share some of the The ones I do have So on TV or in movies There are a lot of cop shows Or law enforcement shows And it's always Something and something

Tango and And Cash, Turner and Hooch, Razzoli and Isles. So here I have normal blank and blank sayings, but what I'm going to give you is a tagline to a fake TV show. So it's not going to be Starsky and Hedge, nothing like that. So they're not going to be names. They're actually going to be English sayings, as if they're TV cop shows. Okay. The format of this is I'm going to read a tagline.

One is describing a character of the first part of the. and saying, and one character is the second part of the and saying, and then there's a a little clue tagline. So it's like, he's a blah, blah, blah, blah, and he's a blah, blah, blah. Together, they must blah, blah, blah, and they all clue in to the same. Okay. Okay, got it. All right.

And what you have to do, and this is required, when you answer, you have to say this before the answer, together they are. All right, all right, all right. He's a detective all about flare and style.

ten questions in this format. Break it up. All right, last one. He's a high-tech detective from Silicon Valley, and he's a sheriff from a dairy town. Can they find the mysterious diner killer in time? Serial and milk. That's not bad.

Mac was loose. So bad. But the idea is good. It was hard to come up with these dead ones. Funny. That was funny, but tough. Sorry. Throughout history, Royals across,

the world were notorious for incest. They married their own relatives in order to consolidate power and keep their blood blue. But they were oblivious to the havoc all this inbreeding was having on the health of their offspring. From Egyptian pharaohs marrying their own sisters to the Habsburg's notoriously oversized lower jaws. I explore the most shocking incestuous relationship. and tragically inbred individuals in royal history. And that's just episode one.

I use that in Monag actually a lot. I have to run through the whole thing. Yeah, all at once. You don't do the Knuckles thing? You taught me the Knuckles thing. It blew my mind when you taught me that, yeah. So to know which months have 31 days? days or 30 days, you take your left hand and you count from your most right knuckle,

and you go January, and then in the divot, February, March, April, and then when you get to the end of your knuckle, you count it again back. And then that's how you know 30 versus 31. Yeah. Or, and then February is different. I just memorized that poem. 30 days have September, April, June, and November. All the rest have 31, except for February, which is 28, leap year, I had one.

Our quiz show is coming to an end. Colin, you got one last quiz for us. I do. I have a quiz for you guys. called Call the Doctor. Is that the name of the quiz or are you having a heart attack? Colin's not moving, you guys. But who's about the quiz?

Don't die on me. You promise me a quiz. So all of the answers to this quiz will start with Doctor. So these are about famous people. These are all real people. Dr. Pepper. No. No fictional.

No Dr. Piffon. No Dr. Brown. from back to the future. So I'm going to give you a little bit of some clues about this person's life and I'm going to read them from a first person perspective. So they're all going to end with Who Am I? And the answer will be

Dr. Somebody. And there may be some docs thrown in there just for good measure. All right. Here we go. I was born Julius Irving but picked up a number of nicknames on the basketball court including Houdini and Black Moses. Who am I?

I think that was Dana. Whoa. Uh, Dr. Jay? Dr. Jay, yes, yes. I got excited. They're real people. They are real people. Yes.

I was like, wow, that's doctor's very athletic. I was a doctor in the German army. I injured my ankle on a ski trip in 1945, and when I discovered my standard issue army boots weren't comfortable on my injured foot, I decided to invent something better. Who am I? Dr. Charles. Martin, oh. Karen is correct.

Dr. Martins. No. Dr. Klaus Martins. Those are a Nazi boots? He was in the German Army. He's not British. He is not British. At the end of the war, it's really interesting.

At the end of the war, in fact, they used a lot of leftover rubber from German airfields and things like that to create the boots. Because it's so related to the UK. Oh, yeah. No, by far and away, they became really well known in the UK. Right, right. Well, I mean, they were utilitarian at first. like a lot of postal workers and factory workers and cops would wear them, and then it kind of

spread from there to subculture. I am scandalized that it's not Dr. Scholes, and now we're leaving open the mystery of who is Dr. Schultz. The boots, the original boots look almost the same as the ones that we buy today. When the boots first came out, the overwhelming demographic was women over 40 made up 80% of the people who bought Doc Marks when they first came out, right, very good. They're therapeutic. After being busted for drinking in my dorm room, I was kicked off the staff with my college

Dr. Seuss? Dr. Seuss? Yes, yes. Theodore Seuss-Gaisal. Yes. And this was his way of continuing to write for publication sort of clandestinely.

Way. Yeah. Yes. It is a sniper. Crazy. She was trained. She was a lookout. and a sniper.

She's tiny. They said that was one of the reasons, actually. They wanted her to be, like, a scout and a lookout. She's 4'7. She is so small. And, yeah, they said, like, in the course of her training, they discovered she's a crack shot. Just an amazing shot with a sniper rifle.

She never killed anybody. And now she's a sex thing. Yeah, I was that you're going to say in the courses of her training, they found out she's great at sex advice. I get, like, like, God. Wow. Yes, yes, from sniper to sex therapist. A lot of crossover there

I was trained as a dentist in Philadelphia and had my own practice in Atlanta In the 1870s I contracted tuberculosis And moved to Arizona in the hopes The drier climate would alleviate my symptoms It's safe to say I fell in with a bad crowd Who am I? Chris

In the 1860s, I created a digestion aid and tonic for children, made primarily of celery seed and sugar.

Yes, the cell ray. This was the first in the line of famous. Dr. Brown's soda. For a long time, it was the only kosher soda available. Interesting. Yes, which is one reason that it became so popular in New York and Brooklyn and then spread out. There is some dispute whether or not Dr. Brown was in fact a real druggist in New York.

Yes. So there's a little bit of lack of clarity there, whether he actually existed. But I decided to throw it in just because I like Dr. Brown's soda. Nice. Cool. All right. Good job, guys. Well done.
