It's like, that's great, because there's cat out of the bag and horse out of the barn. And they, and Fable, yeah. Yeah, I love that. Well, the horse is out of the bag. Oh, yeah.

Do you guys know what that is? No. That's like if you see a lot of documentary or even in TV shows or in PowerPoint presentations, it's an image, like a static image,

but it automatically kind of moves around and zooms in and out. So it looks like it's moving, but it's really a static image. So like they can do narration over a static image. in the engine, just move it subtly, so you're still, you still know you're watching TV.

Interesting. Okay. So that is known as the Ken Burns effect. Wow. I mean, when you're making a documentary about something where there's very little moving footage, you know, it's, you know, it's, I mean, he talks about it. Yeah, it's like, you've got to make still photos work. Awesome.

Good job, Brains. All quiz. Oh, God, what is? Number 14? Number 15. Amazing. 15. Wow.

She's just knocking her lips. Yeah, yeah, far be it for me to question. All right, I'll start it out with maybe one of my favorite drinks. Which drink gets its name from a Tahitian expression meaning out of this world? Karen. My Thai. My tie. My tie was invented where?

in Colin I'm going to guess it was invented in Oakland Yes It was invented in San Francisco Really?

Yes, that Trader Vix Oh, it's interesting Big Tiki Establishment Another Perhaps tropical drink This drink shares The name of a beach

An Iron Mine near Santiago, Cuba and was Ernest Hemingway's favorite cocktail Oh, great Karen A mojito No.

Oh, wow, that was, that's A good guess. It's not a Cuba Libre. No. It is a daquiry. Oh. What? It shares his name with a beach and an iron mine.

Huh. All right. And then this drink enjoyed renewed popularity in the late 1970s and early 80s when it was part of the subject of a song by Rupert Holmes. Karen. If you like Pia Colaola. Pina colada. this escape the pinia colada song yes wait who sang this song rupert holmes rupert holmes yes one-hit

wonder that's gonna come up yeah yeah that's true yeah this drink is also originally from cuba and the name was derived from an african word meaning cast a little spell uh is that mojito that is mojito i wonder if it's like mojo and the hito yeah yeah it must be yeah a little bit of magic in a cup that's great is a shot of scotch, a half shot of dramboui and a lemon twist. There's a Canadian version, which uses Canadian rye whiskey instead of Scotch whiskey, and it's named for a Canadian

actor. Which actor? What is the name of the actor? If you ordered a rusty nail in Canada, what actor would you? All right, let's see. Who's Canadian and drinks? William Shatner. That's a good guess. That's a good guess. It is not. I wish it

were. It's not. Donald Sutherland. He's Canadian? So now we're moving into the speed round. I'll give you some hints about the cocktail and you tell me what it is, or you tell me what the ingredients are in it. Okay. Okay. What's in a greyhound?

Oh, I've never heard of this. That's vodka and grapefruit juice? Yes. Oh, okay. What's a gimlet garnished with? Lime? Yes. Yeah.

What's a Gibson garnished with? Oh. Gibson is cocktail onions. Yes. That's what makes it different from a martini. and what makes a dirty martini dirty the presence of the olive juice yes olives

I just put my thumb in it don't watch the glass don't talk you having a drink Karen I just spit in it you want dirty How about a Moscow mule What's in a Moscow mule Vodka and ginger ale

Yeah lime juice too How about a Harvey Wallbanger It has vodka OJ and what Bunker's name I used to love this Is it sleeping pills? Yeah, yeah

Like, this is like one of the drinks that you order once Just Date Quill is from the 50s Yeah, I don't remember I'm gonna pretend like you're madman It's Galiano What's that? It's a weird alcohol

Oh, okay No, it's in a really tall bottle I read this and I believe this is true I didn't research it fully But I'll just tell you what I read It was that the bottles really tall, and they called it a wallbanger because you had to really secure it to the wall. Got it.

So I think it's true. I didn't look it up again, but I was like, hmm. It's a good tale. The original cocktail, as defined in 1806, contains what ingredients? What makes a cocktail? We can just kind of list. I'm going to guess something with whiskey. I'll all start there.

We'll say spirit. Okay. Spirits. Sorry. Maybe a fruit juice of some kind. I can't give you that. Soda water. Yeah, margarita mix.

Spirits, soda water. This is 1806. Tears. Yeah. Bougars. Yeah. So I couldn't give you fruit juice. Fair enough.

What's the list? Spirit, sugar, water, and bitters. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. Last one. This drink I really love, but it's kind of gross, but it's really good to me. It's a crem dame de menth, crem de cacao, and fresh cream.

Karen. Grasshopper. Yes. Yeah. It reminds me of the grasshopper ice cream. Yeah. Well, I think, isn't that based on the, like, grasshopper pie? That's all based on the drink, I think.

You're probably right. That makes sense. And they have the little grasshopper cookies, which are the year-round fake thin mince. I've actually heard exactly what you're describing called the Dirty Girl Scout. Well, that makes sense. But, you know, it's an alcoholic. Yeah. Depends on what level of bar, what establishment.

That's true. If you're at, like, the White House inauguration bar, you may want to ask for a grasshopper. You probably shouldn't ask for a grasshopper, though. Period, yeah, if you have to. Be classy. You're out of my house. Keep your wits about you. Okay, well, I've decided to bring back a past segment that I like to imagine was popular.

I'll pretend it is popular. I think we'll be the judge of that. I think you will be the judge of that. It is time for another installment of, what's the difference? What's the difference? Come on down and play, what's the difference? Okay. I will present to you guys pairs of things that are either commonly confused for one another

or may have subtle differences that you're not aware of. Tell me, what's the difference? Okay. What's the difference between prison and jail? What? Jail is when they're just like holding you somewhere for a short period of time, and prison is when you've been sentenced to, you know, 20 years in prison and you're there for a long term. Yeah, that is generally right.

Sometimes you've been sentenced to something that's. you know, typically under a year. You may serve a few months sentence in jail. But, yeah, it's also for holding people awaiting a hearing on the way to some other legal proceeding. And prison is if you've been sentenced to something that's more serious, which generally is over a year of time. So it's really the offense or the length of time that is the difference,

or is it the actual facility? It is... Prison usually is like, you know, a whole different. They are absolutely different facilities. Okay. And then beyond just the time and the seriousness, Jails are usually operated by cities and, you know, police forces. Whereas a prison, especially the United States, at least, a prison is state level or higher level.

Yeah. I had no idea. So if you had to be in one place, you'd probably rather be in jail. Okay. What's the difference between concrete and cement? Once again. Okay. So I believe that concrete has like mix-ins, like a cold stone creamery.

So concrete has cement with like gravel added into it, basically. Yeah, right. You got it exactly right. Yeah. So cement is like the binder is the stuff that you mix up. You know, it's like Portland cement. You mix up with water. When it dries, it's firm and solid.

But in and of itself, it's not enough to build things out of. You add things that call it aggregate. I have learned in the industry. Yeah, as Chris said, it's... I like your mixin's time. I like your coldstone analogy. That's perfect. That's what it is.

So cement is the ice. cream and the aggregate are sand typically or gravel or large rocks you mix it in and that makes it stronger when it's sick. Wow. Concrete and cement. What's the difference between a hurricane and a typhoon?

And I think we've touched on this one indirectly in a previous show. Dana. So doesn't it have to do with like proximity to the ocean or something like if typhoons happen in the middle of the ocean, hurricanes don't, something like that. You're in the right family. You're in the right family.

Chris? Is typhoon a rainstorm and a hurricane is just wind? So they are the same weather phenomenon. They are identical phenomenon. There are tropical cyclones with winds over 74 miles an hour. Typhoons are in the northwestern Pacific. Oh, man. I was going to say as a joke.

Hurricanes are in the northeastern Pacific and the Atlantic. Gosh, darn it. I was going to say that as a joke. Sandy Katrina, Hurricanes because it's Atlantic. Right. In the U.S., we get hurricanes because we have the Atlantic and then we have the Eastern Pacific. And in Asia, if they make landfall in Asia, they are a typhoon. But they're the same phenomenon. They are tropical cyclones, right.

Just only difference is geographical. That's right. Just where they happen to occur over the ocean. Just a naming convention. As we know from way back in the history of good job, rain, the word typhoon comes from... Japan. Japanese. Yep.

It means great wind. What's the difference between jam and jelly? I think that was great. Why? That's all of this stuff. So jam is like whole fruit that's been preserved or fruit that's been mashed up, but jelly is the, it's like it's totally liquid or juice. Yeah, yeah, it's juice with gelatinous. Yeah, yeah, that's right.

I'm trying to think of a word that means the liquid that comes out of fruit and failing. That's right, yeah. They're both ways of preserving fruit flavor, but jam has actual fruit or fruit pulp in it. as well as, you know, sugar and pectin and things like that, whereas jelly is just made from the juice as well as the other things. And they're prepared similar ways. And it's not a totally arbitrary distinction. You know, the FDA, for example,

sets very specific guidelines on jellies as distinguished from jams and other types of fruit preserves. Well, tell me this, Colin. Well, now hold on, hold that thought, because I have a bonus point question. Oh, okay. This may be your free bonus point. For a bonus point, what's the difference between jam and marmalade?

Oh, well, you should know it. Go ahead. Karen, tell us. Marmalade, I believe, is for citrus fruits. Yep, that's right. So orange, lemon. Orange, lemon, lime, citri. I mean, anything.

Yeah, grapefruit. And usually has the rind to put in as well. So just last week, I don't know if you guys went out at night and saw the Perseid meteor shower. You know, ever comes every year. It's really cool. If you live in an area that has a clear sky, you go out, and it's a meteor shower, and it's just really entertaining. I know. So I would like you guys to tell me, what is the difference?

This is a three-way. What's the difference? Oh, hey-now. Between or among, I suppose. A meteoroid and a meteor, and a meteorite. And each of them has a very specific. God, you're like a survivor. Well, I don't know if I'm going to get this right or not.

A meteor is a big piece of rock that's hurtling through space. A meteoroid is a piece that breaks off of it, and you see it. falling and then a meteorite is when it's actually on earth then discovered you're very close okay you're very close you you flip-flop the first two and and i'll get there's an easy way to remember this too okay all right yeah so a meteoroid yeah as you say so out in space just chunks of rock or debris flying along those are the meteorids when they're out in space moving along and you can any difference between meteoroid and asteroid size size yeah asteroids are huge enormous Meteoroids, you know, generally top out around a few feet.

Oh, okay. But they can be as, you know, small as a grain of sand. Right. If it's out there, if it's out there. Yeah, so just think meteoroid asteroid. Those are the ones that are out in the case. Okay. When it's in this.

Hemorrhoids. When it hits the atmosphere and starts glowing, so it's in the phase that we call like a shooting star, falling star, that is when it is a meteor. And so, like, when we talk about the meteor showers, it's because those are the things you see, the little cool, pretty glowing trails. That's the meteor phase. And that's because it's burning up on re-entry, basically, or on entry. Yep, yep.

It's burning up. It's usually losing some material. And then, as Chris said, you correctly, if it makes it to the ground, if there's enough left, that is the meteorite. So if you're picking something up, that's a meteorite. All right, we'll close it out here with one last culinary question. What's the difference between black pepper and white pepper? Oh.

I think it's all the same thing, but the pepper corn. has a little white grain on the inside and then black coating on the outside. Yeah, that's pretty much right. That's right. They're the same thing. They're peppercorns. They come from the same plant. They're the same thing. They pick the black peppercorns a little bit earlier. When they dry, the outer skin turns black and they leave it on when they grind it up. White pepper, they let ripen a little longer. Then they take the outer layer off. And then they grind up the inside. But they come from the same seed, the same plant. The white pepper is a little stronger, right? Yeah, it is generally spicy.

They say the pepper aficionados on the internet. White pepper's a little bit spicier, but lacks the nuance and subtleties of a black pepper. Yeah. All right, good job, guys. That's the difference. Yay. All right, my turn, and I have a music round. A little bit of a twist.

So I was listening to some Chinese pop music the other day. and was just kind of reliving, you know, my childhood in teenage years. And then I was like, oh, my God, this would be a great quiz segment. So, and I didn't know this growing up, but a lot of the pop songs in Asia, there are songs in Chinese, you know, Cantonese or Mandarin, but the song itself is actually a foreign language song. And they did this a lot. So they write new words to the military?

Yeah, they would just write in the native language and then an existing song. But the thing is, I didn't know that. So it wasn't until I moved here. I'd be like, oh. And you would hear the original. I would hear the original English version and be like, I had no idea that growing up this other song was a cover version. Okay.

So my music round is, is, um, how do I describe it? It is international foreign language covers. I love it. Of English language songs. All right. But the difference is, um, it's not just, you know, someone covering some other song. This is released as, a whole different title, and it really says

a whole different single, but the melody and parts of the song is based on. So it's not released as like, oh, the localized version of such and such song, it's just, you have no idea of the connection. Yeah, unless you look at like the songwriting credits or something. So I'm going to play

clips of these foreign language songs, and before I'll tell you what language and maybe the title of the song, even though that doesn't really help. And listen, see if you can identify the English language song and identified the artist, the original artist of the song. All right. How's that?

All right. Cool. All right. Yeah, it's a little complicated, but... No, it sounds fun. Okay. And for the first one, I'm going to play the song that I was actually listening to that inspired me. Okay. To make this quiz. I don't know this song. Oh, man, what is it? Is it silent all these years? Yes, Colin, yes. Silent all these years. Who sings Silent All These Years? Big, big hit. Oh, that, who was Silent All These Year? Who was that? It was it Suzanne Vega? Was it Kate Bush?

Later, later. It was it? Was it Sarah McGlock? Tori. Tori, yes, yes, yes, yes. Of course. I was like, I know this song, but her singing is messing it. I can't hear what it is.

Well, number of times I've heard the Chinese cover of Silent All These Years, one, number of times I've heard actual Silent All These Years, zero. Oh, okay. Really? So that was Fay Wong, very, very famous Asian superstar. and the title of the song is Cold War, but based on silent all these years. That's great. All right.

Next one. This is sung in Greek by, oh, God, okay, pardon my pronunciation. Al-Qistis pot-stalti. Okay, that's pretty good. Yeah, not bad. A Greek pop star. I don't speak Greek or whatever. No way of judging now.

It's sounded good to me, yeah. And the song's title is, all that I fear. Okay. Well, translated from Greek. Oh, all That's who Fovvour I'm

Like a year Poolion The Agap Kee and Littronin The air And Mek

A greek A Gneca You know You know You've done Force To start

To start To Oh God Data Is it Microback? Yes.

Wow. Your face. What song? I could sing probably the chorus, but I don't. I bend down to the bottom of the... That's it. Yeah. Right.

Right. Mind me. Wow. That's great. Their first big hit for nickelback. Good job. That's great. This is one that is not a direct cover, but you can.

can tell by it. The song is there, but the melody is a little bit different. And this is Japanese. This is from Japan by Dragon Ash. And the title is Grateful Days. Here's a song. See if you can recognize the what's being sampled. All right. Oh, Dena. Oh, Dena. Smashing Pumpkins. Yes. Today by Smashing Pumpkins, that little loop.

Yeah, the old car intro. Great. Awesome song. I love this Japanese rap version. All right, here's an oldie, and this is by Adriano Celentano in Italian. Italian translation of the title is, I Will Pray. Colin Colin.

That is Stand by me By Ben E. King. Yes. Whoa. For the longest time I thought was Benny King, like Beny Hill. It's Ben, Ben, E.

King. Very good. All right, another Asian language one. This is by Big Bang from Korea. Also another hip-hop kind of rap thing. See if you can identify the background song. Okay. Okay.

of this love I know it like two This love even Don't know Of course This Love by Maroon 5 Correct I knew it like two

I can name that foreign song And two notes All right So this last one Is a little bit of a twist So there's a big hit In America and all in English language countries, I'd say, in 1994.

And this is an R&B song. It was really popular. And this song was actually based on a foreign language song. So it's kind of reverse. What I'm going to do is play the original foreign language song and see if you can identify the 1994 song and the artist. That was a cover. That was an English language cover.

And the original version is Japanese. Okay. So the So the song itself is called So the song itself is called Sukiyaki. What else do you want to know about it? What artists or what group sang that song,

in 1994 that made a very big hit. Oh, right. It was actually covered a couple times. It was covered in 1980s. It was from the 60s or 70s? Yeah. Yeah. What was that?

Was that like Judacy or somebody like that? It's like all for one. No. Who was it? 4 p.m. 4 p.m. sang the song and let me play a little clip of it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I didn't know that was a cover.

Oh, yeah, yeah. That song has a real thing. weird history. It became popular in the U.S. with the title Sukkiaki, which has nothing to do with the original lyrics. No, no, no way. Covered in 1981, and they just called it Sukkiaki because it's like, well, that's a Japanese term. Sounds great Japanese. Right, yeah, that's basically, yeah, yep. Very good job. Very enlightening. International music round. Very neat. All right, we're going to take

a quick break, a word from our sponsor. On August 1st. May I speak freely? I prefer English. The naked gun is the most fun you can have in theaters. Yeah, let's go! Without getting arrested. Is he serious?

Is he serious? No. The naked gun. Only in theaters. August 1st. Did archaeologists discover Noah's Ark? Is the rapture coming as soon as the Euphrates River dries up? Does the Bible condemn abortion?

And we want to invite you to the Data Over Dogma podcast, where our mission is to increase public access to the academic study of the Bible and religion and also to combat the spread of misinformation about the same. But, you know, in a fun way. Every week we tackle fascinating topics. We go back to source materials in their original languages. And we interview top scholars in the field. So whether you're a devout believer, or you're just interested in a clear-eyed, deeply informed look at one of the most influential books of all time.

We think you're going to love the data over dogma podcast. Wherever you subscribe to awesome shows. And we're back. You're listening to Good Job Brain. And this week is our all-quizzed bonanza number 15. Everybody has a quiz segment, or more than one quiz segment. And we're quizzing each other and quizzing you guys and having a good time. Having a ball.

Having a ball of a time. So maybe a lot of you guys like us are nerds. And so perhaps the launch recently of Disney's probably biggest video game ever, Disney Infinity, may not have escaped your household. Maybe you're buying it for your kids. Maybe you're buying it for yourselves. And so I decided that since Disney Infinity is out this week, it's this huge video game that lets you buy figurines of Disney figures. and they connect with the video game. And so whatever figure you buy, like Lightning McQueen from cars.

We'll show up in the game. Right, exactly. Or, you know, Mike Wozowski from Monsters Inc. The figurine magically shows up in the game. And it seems to be flying off shelves now. So I did a little Disney Infinity quiz. So every answer to this quiz is going to be the name of a character that shows up in Disney Infinity. So these are characters from very popular Disney movies.

We're not sponsored by it. Anyway, with Disney Infinity, I would just say Disney on the brain. And this is a sort of a backwards Disney quiz because the questions, most of them have very little to do with Disney. The answers may be homophones or of the Disney character names. So think not only Disney animated films, but also live action films that Disney may have been in the fact. So the answer sounds like or is the name of a Disney character. Exactly. Yes.

Yes, yes, yes. Here's one question that actually is just a straight-up Disney question. This Disney character was played by Craig T. Nelson, TV's coach. Karen? Mr. Incredible. Mr. Incredible, that's right. Coach. Oh, what's his name?

I think he had a name. Bob Parr was the name of the, yes, exactly. The middle sibling character on the TV series Home Improvement. Dana? Jonathan Taylor Thomas? That is the person who played the middle sibling character. What is his name? Randy.

Randy. Yeah. Randy Taylor. Oh, from Monsters Inc. From Monsters Inc. The Chameleon. Yes, yes, indeed. That was in my brain somewhere.

Yeah. Yeah. Right? See? Good job, right? A monkey with two ease. Karen. Davy Jones.

Davey Jones, yes. Also a character from Pirates of the Caribbean. The nickname of a U.S. Airways pilot who successfully landed a flight on the Hudson River in 2009. I was too excited Sully Yes Sully Sully Sullenberger I could see Colin so excited

I was like but I know it too I'm just gonna beat him to the buzzer We're getting harder The color at the highest end of the visible spectrum The color at the highest end of the visible spectrum Dana Violet Violet

From Incredibles again yes I call this my graduate speech opening question. Random House defines this as a group of symptoms that together are characteristic of a specific disorder, disease, or the like. Whoa. Say medical term, meaning a group of symptoms that together are characteristic of a specific disorder, disease, or the like.

Symptoms. Symptoms stick cards. Must be like plural. Diagnosis. It's not a plural. It's one word. It's a character. It's a character. Yep.

Oh, who is the bad guy? Karen. Syndrome. Yeah, syndrome. I was just going to say, there you go. Also from Incredible. We're coming out of other directions. The type of wood used in Harry Potter's wand, also a character from cars.

Which dragon? Ash. Birch. Ash in the Phoenix Corps. Yeah, it's not the Phoenix Corps. It's the, the type of. of wood in Harry Potter's wand. It's a...

What's the book? Also a type of, uh, maybe berries. Holly. Holly. Holly. Holly is a character from cars. We didn't start the fire eagle is the name of a Billy Joel song followed by the name of a bird.

Now if you were to use a different bird and a different song, you would get this Disney character's name. What? Now if you were to use a different Billy Joel song and a different name of a bird, you would get this very popular Disney character. Piano Man Flamingo. Big shot. Uptown Girl Robin.

It's from a live action film. How about that? Sparrow. Jack Sparrow. Captain Jack. Captain Jack. Sparrow. Not we didn't start the Fire Eagle.

Piano Man Flamingo. I like Piano Man. So earlier when we were asking about the birthplace of the Mai Tai, I could tell Dana had just a special flash of pride that was from Oakland. I did. Because Dana was raised in Oakland, her hometown. She is a proud Oaklander. Wait, an Oakland person is called an Oaklander. An Oakland person is called an Oaklander.

And in fact, that is an example of a demo nym. So the demo nym for someone from Oakland is Oaklander. As in demographics. Yes, that's right, and name. So I have a quiz that I've put together for you guys all about demonyms from around the world. Aren't they like dirs and E? Yeah. That's right.

Those are definitely the most popular. And of course, as I'm sure you guys know, there are always some just oddball ones around the world. So we're going to get educated today. So we're going to start easy. I think you guys will get a little bit warmed up. I smell a hard one. We're going to move into several hard ones, but I don't want to. want you guys to be disappointed because if you know these you really really have been studying

demo nims which is a sad commentary because that's what i was doing or we want to hear that i've that i've heard you know going way back when i was a kid and kind of just remember like oh i got to stick that one away for future i kind of just go with um newspapers yeah that's like a lot of newspaper they're they're called that's right that's right whatever yeah new yorker bestonia yeah so those are a couple great examples yeah someone from new york is a new yorker someone from san francisco was a San Franciscan. Dana, as we established, as an Oaklander. I'm from Los Angeles.

Do you guys know what someone from Los Angeles is called? Chris. So Los Angelino? Yeah, Angelino or Los Angeles. I personally, I prefer Angelino. So we're going to go through here very quickly. I will give you the name of the city somewhere in the U.S. or around the world, and you tell me what you call someone from that city.

Okay. What do you call someone from Paris? Parisian. Yes. What do you call someone from Boston? Bostonian. Boston. Yes. What do you call someone from Seattle?

Karen. Seattleite? It is Seattleite. It is fun to say. There are a few Ites. Yeah. Satellite, Seattleite as well. Denverite as well. Dallasite. This sounds like medical. It really does. Got a case of Denveritis. What do you call someone from Berlin? Is this a Berliner?

Yes. It is a Berliner. I'm Berliner. I'm Berliner. There is a lengthy dispute over there. Yes, of course. What do you call someone from Florence, Italy? Do you say Florentine? Correct, Florentine.

Yeah. Like, like many other things, right. And a lot of these demonyms have... And it's Florentine. Yep, yep. And sometimes they've taken turns where there may be an adjective you only use for foods or things like that. And other times they are the same as you call a person. Mm-hmm.

What do you call someone from Venice? Oh. Venetian? Yes, Venetian. Like the blinds. Oh, I was going to say, like the casino. What do you call someone from Phoenix? Phonician.

They are Phoenicians. Nice. Which I like. Greek soldiers? Yes, like the ancient Phoenicians, right. What do you call someone from Amsterdam? Yeah. Dutch?

That would be the nationality. Someone from the city would be an Amsterdamer, which is fun to say. Amsterdamer. What do you call someone from Edendon? Oh, Scottish. This one's fun to say. They are in Edinburgh. Yeah, you can go for a delicious Edenberger.

Just to really make it clear, someone from Hamburg, Germany, is a hamburger. Someone from Frankfurt is a Frankfurter. So those would probably be the two most classic examples of the food. We'll stick with the food for a minute. What do you call someone from Naples, Italy? Karen. Neapolitan Neapolitan

Yes, like the ice cream And many other things Yes, neapolitan What do you call a person from Halapa, Mexico? Oh, I know. A jalapeno. They are a jalapeno

Sydney Cider. Sydney Cider. Sydney Cider. Oh, Sydney Cider. Sydney Cider. Sydney Cider. This is one of my favorites that I learned way back

coming from a family of Beatles fans. What do you call a person from Liverpool? Oh, no. Do you guys want to all do it together? Yeah, okay. Liver Puddlyan.

Yes. Liver Pudlian. Certainly some of my favorite demonyms come from England. And I'll give you guys a couple more here very quickly. Do you guys know what someone from Manchester is called.

And a lot of the old English ones have Latin roots to them, maybe not surprisingly. So they sound very Latin in style. Someone from Manchester is Mancunian. Whoa. Yes. Like a man raccoon. Yeah. Manchere.

Just roaming, just roaming the lands. Mancester. Giant mancou. Someone from Newcastle is a novocastrian, which you can see the direct connection to Latin there. Yeah. Novocastrians from Newcastle. All right. And we will close out here with a couple.

One of these we actually had in pub quiz, and we got it wrong. So I will lead in without it. The question was, I'll go backwards. The question is, someone who's called a Porteño is a resident of what major South American city? And we didn't get it. It's Buenos Aires. So this is one where it's very little to do with the name of the city. Yeah.

So Porteño is someone from Buenos Aires. Why is it named that? It's a port city, and in fact there are a lot of port cities where sort of on a smaller scale, people from the port city would be Portenios, but in South America, if you say Portenio, people will know you mean from Buenos Aires. All right, and this

last one, what do you call someone from Rio de Janeiro? This is a good pub quiz one. Carnival. It shares, it shares the name with music and dance. You may have on this term. No, is it karaoke. Carioca is a resident of Rio.

So it's a little trip around the world, and I hope that some of those come up in pub quiz. Joe Carioka is the name of that South American duck in like three caballera. Yes! Green one? He's the green, the green parrot. The green parrot. He's the green parrot. Or the parrot, yeah.

Ah, is Joe Carioca? Joe Carioca. There you go. He's from Rio. Do the Carioca. So I had asked you guys before the show for your hometown just to verify. I knew that Dana, obviously, Oakland, and Karen Taipei, you consider your hometown. Unfortunately, a lot of cities are just residents of city name.

There is not a really cool demonym for Taipei, I apologize. Nor is there a really cool demonym for North Branford, Connecticut, Chris, I apologize. Bramfordian. Bramfordians. I did, however, find some interesting stuff about what people from Connecticut like to be called. There are some terms there's, I read Connecticuter. That's what I always heard.

I read Connecticuter, and of course, there's nutmegger. Nutmegger. Yeah, you hear a lot of nutmegger, yeah. So I have another quiz for you guys. This is, I don't want it to feel like homework, but it's a little bit like, it's a little reminiscent of high school homework. You know, if we didn't really secretly like homework, we wouldn't be doing this podcast. It's true.

It's true. Oh, yeah, it's okay. Been in front of the doubt, I'm sure we knew the answers to these questions when we were in high school. Once upon a time. There was a point in our lives where this knowledge resided and helped, but it's gone. And it's clear that it's gone because every time U.S. presidents come up in trivia, we almost invariably get it embarrassingly wrong. It makes sense that in PubTrivie in America, of course U.S. presidents is something they

really ask about and it's filled with trivia. And they'll drop it in like, you know, the ninth president, also known for farming cabbages or whatever. It doesn't matter if you know anything about farming cabbages. If you just know who the ninth president. And I used to know all the president. There's only 40s, I think of them, you know, but I don't anymore. So this is a good way of saying we're going to fail this quiz.

Well, you know what? Maybe. I try to put in some ones that we should get. I think Chris will get most of them. You know a lot of the government stuff. How I'm building it up a little bit. Okay. George Washington took the oath of office in 1789 in what U.S.

City, then the country's capital. What was the country's capital? So really you're asking, what was the country's capital? Yeah. I think that was Philadelphia. Yes. No, I think the first capital was New York City. New York City.

Whoa. And then it migrated to Washington, D.C. or what happened? They built Washington, D.C. with the express purpose of making it the capital city. It took a while, though. It was a swamp. Yeah. Well, let's, you know, make sure the politicians are not, like, corrupted by the big cities and things like that. We'll move the capital to a swamp. What president's economic and social programs were known as the New Deal?

Karen? Franklin D. Roosevelt. Yes. All right. Before he was president, Thomas Jefferson was the ambassador to France. Yes. During those early years, Jefferson also helped foster trade with another. key European country

what country besides Is it the Dutch? Is it Holland? No. All right. Italy?

No. Germany. It doesn't even exist anymore in this country. Oh. Brittany. Prussia. Prussia.

Wow. Several Americans. A lot of good that didn't. I know. Which state claims the most U.S. presidents of any state at eight.

I think it's New York. Nope. Is it Massachusetts? Nope. Virginia. Virginia. Virginia. Yeah.

They haven't had one in a while, but they did have a lot before. Which president is the only one to hold a patent? Karen. Abraham Lincoln. Yes. And I know this because my next quiz is about inventions. So that was a weird coincidence. Serendipity.

That was a weird coincidence. Who was the only president to serve two non-consecutive terms in office? I believe that was Grover Cleveland. Yes. All right. Last question. Who was the first president to be impeached? Oh, right. So, this is a trick. Is this Andrew Jackson? Close, but no. Close, but no. I mean, the name is close to right, but it's not right.

Was it Hamilton? You said Andrew Jackson. Yeah. Andrew Johnson. Andrew Johnson. Okay, yes. Wait, what happened? Why did he get impeached? It was right after the Civil War, and there was like, there was just, drama controversy I mean he did do some unconstitutional things and then that's a good though one public quiz first to be impeached yes that's a good trick question yeah Jackson Johnson

not too bad you guys no no just keep we'll keep chipping away I don't get better at history you embarrass us a lot more than no I didn't want it to be too because it's just like oh okay there's no the common ones like who used to you know someone was a peanut farmer I was like oh Jimmy Carter that's like a fact that's on snapple lids and stuff yeah I know snapolid president facts. I know. We're good at pop culture stuff. Well, Dana, you kind of stole one of my questions for my next quiz segment. My original question was going to be, there has only been one president who has received a patent. Honestly, this president was just sick of his boats getting stuck in shallow waters. Yeah, what was the patent? The patent was U.S. patent number

6469 for a device to lift boats in case if they get stuck in shallow waters. Basically, Basically, it's like an add-on floater or buoy in the boat that float it up so it won't get stuck.

So my quiz is inspired actually by a listener, Jonathan, from Fargo, North Dakota. is actually a U.S.

registered patent agent. And he sent me some cool trivia facts that I modified into a celebrity inventor quiz. Nice. All right. If anybody has a cool job and has trivia about it, send it in. Yeah. It's cool.

I like this. Do our jobs for us. I know. Yeah. This relatively awesome scientist came up with a shirt design that has two separate sets of buttons so the shirt can still fit after significant. weight loss or gain. Colin.

Is that Albert Einstein? Yes. Is it my relative? Yes. It was very cheesy. That's really cool. Yeah, so he designed kind of like a blouse vest

and has two sets of vertical buttons. Oh, you pick which buttons. Yeah, on your skinny days, you choose one set. On your more bloated days, you can move so it's adjustable. All right, this boisterous magician

and podcast host holds the patent for the idea of a hot tub with strategically placed water jets Dana

Pen Gillette yes Penn Gillette a penned teller yes illusionist and magician US utility patent 5920293

which is for the Jilljet which is a hydrotherpeutics yes there are a lot of celebrities who do actually

hold patents because it's kind of related to their job or their work. So a lot of filmmakers and directors have a lot of camera crane and, you know, very specific patents for those designs. So this list, the dimensions are kind of not related to their jobs. Okay. So kind of just far out. Okay. Here's a comedian. He thought slot machines were too outdated and uninteresting. So his idea was for an electronic slot machine that would have animated rather than static symbols on the slot reels, including, like, birds landing on a wire, and, of course, watermelon smashing to the ground. Colin.

Is that Gallagher? Yes. Gallagher holds the patent for animated slot machines. For an electronic slot machine, a new take on the traditional slot machine, so that has animations. And it's really interesting because he really, he really had the foresight, and he said this, and I'm quoting him, he said, there are generations of potential slot machine players who grew up playing video games

with much more complicated computer-generated graphics. Is he getting money from this patent or no? I don't know. I think the problem is that they've bypassed animatronic and they've just video displays slot machines. Yeah, sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

This screen queen actress, an actual baroness, invented a type of diaper that features a moisture-proof pocket on the outside that contains cleanup wipes. Oh, Dana. Is that Jamie Lee Curtis? Yes, Jamie Lee. Curtis, U.S. Utility Patent

475-3647 is for a The patent keeps saying infant garment I think they're trying to be all encompassing. Really it's a diaper with an outside kind of pocket compartment for baby wipes. That's pretty cool. Yeah, it is. However, this was back in

1987 when she filed it and she refused to allow her invention to be marketed until companies started selling biodegradable diaper. She didn't want to make a whole bunch of wasteful, disposable diapers. The patent expired in 2007, so now it's in the public domain.

So go ahead and put pockets on diapers. Do it. Baby lights on there, yeah. Do it without fear of repercussions. Inspired by an episode about human muscles from his own namesake show, this celebrity designed a new type of ballet shoe to help alleviate the massive amounts of pressure put on

dancers' toes. Phil Donahue. Dr. Oz. Bill and I, the science guy. Correct. Bill Nye, the science guy, or received a patent for a special ballet point shoe.

U.S. Utility Pen, 6895-694. I'm curious to people use it. That's what I was trying to find out. Yeah. The dancer's foot, toes, and ankle are subject to a force that is at least equal to the whole weight of the dancer. Yeah.

And that's why you see, like, from Black Swan or other, you know, dancers. It's tough. Bloody toes in the shoes. And Bill Nye is like, there must be a way to alleviate the pressure. I don't know if anybody uses it. I was trying to look forward to see if what happened,

but not a lot of follow-up with these patent stuff. All right, last one. This Canadian singer-songwriter, often parodied by Jimmy Fallon, is a co-inventor on seven U.S. patents related to model train control systems. Chris. Is that Bob Dylan?

Incorrect. Is that Neil Young? Correct. Neil Young. has multiple patents, and he's a super train nerd, model train nerd, and, yeah, invented a whole bunch of control system for model train sets. Wow. And so there you go. Lots of celebrity inventors out there.
