You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast. Hello, compellingly, compassionate community comprised of compadres, comma, commuters, comma, and competitors. Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show, and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 80 and I am your humble host Karen and we are your assembly of assorted assertive asses like associates. Hey. I'm Colin.

I'm Dana. And I'm Chris. Oh, what was that word for something that looks like a butt? Natiform. Yeah. Natiform. Well, it's been a little while since we've had a funky news headline, weird animals in the news, and this kind of covers them both. Did you guys happen to see the blobfish

has been named the world's ugliest animal? Oh, my God. By This is actually, it was the results of an online poll conducted by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society. Really? Okay. The mission of this organization is to promote awareness of endangered and not aesthetically pleasing animals. Oh, absolutely. I can most charitably describe the blobfish as it looks like the head of a grumpy old man made out of snot. Yes.

Wow, that's really good. I totally agree with that, and I think snot is a really important detail. Okay. Because it's slimy. It is slimy. Everything looks a little bit like it was sculpted out of snot, maybe. But I love the fact that there's an ugly animal preservation society. Some of the other animals in the top list are animals we've talked about, like the axolotl was in there.

What? The axelotto is the cutest animal. That's my favorite animal. That's my spirit animal. How is that ugly? Karen, your spirit. It looks like a Pokemon. I just report the news, Karen.

I'm sorry. I did not know until a recent trivia round with you guys that the the gooey duck, or spelled geoduck, is not a Pokemon. Like, I really thought it was Pokemon. Yeah, apparently it's a real thing. It's a clam. It's a clam.

A big clam with a little shell, right? There you go. That's it. A huge clam that wedges itself into a shell that's too small for its body. You know what they say about big, yeah. No, clams. They live underwater. It's weird.

It makes me feel. weird. It is, but yes. You look at a gooey duck. It gives you weird, not entirely good feeling. It's just looking at a picture of it.

I wonder if I can be, like I want to be part of the ugly animal preservation society. I'm sure they would be happy to accept your efforts. Yeah. You know what? I'm going to do that. Yeah,

there you go. Cool. All right. And a quick shout out to a special guy, Lack. He donated some money through PayPal for a good job right. Now I just want to give him a special shout out. And he talked about how much he,

likes podcast in general so I looked up some facts about podcast themselves what does podcast mean where does the word come from well it's a playoff of broadcast and iPod originally right correct there is another explanation most people know it as a portmanteau of pod as an iPod and broadcast yeah the other acceptable answer is personal on demand broadcast okay that sounds like a It is. It is. I think it's to dissociate with iPod. To make it clear that it's, yeah, something else. And do you guys know what is the most downloaded podcast in history? Oh, like one single episode or? All episodes of a show.

Oh. This American Life? Yeah. Correct. Global in history. Worldwide, most downloaded. It's by a comedian. Okay. Ricky Jervais? Yes. The Ricky Jervais show. Because he was on it early.

It has a world record for most downloaded podcast in history. So there you go. Thanks, Slack. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. Yeah, don't anybody, it's okay. You don't have to randomly give us money. No, right, no, no.

No, no. Yeah. But we do appreciate it when people do. Yeah. Keeps the doors open. Yeah. And this week's episode is number 80, which means it's an all-quiz panacea. Woo!

Yeah. What is 80 divided by five? I don't know. 16. 16? Everybody's looking like, is it? It's 16. Sounds about right.

Yes, all quiz bonanza number 16. Whoa. So every fifth episode, we have an all quiz episode where we don't really have a topic. We just all make quizzes ourselves and we quiz each other and you guys, listeners. So hopefully you. You guys enjoy all of these random quizzes. I have no idea what everybody else is doing. So this will be quite the surprise.

Yeah. Before we start our all quiz, man, Colin, you got a lot of heat for your football rivalry segment. I think it was good-natured heat. Yeah, very good-nature. It is time for another installment. Actually. So we were discussing college football rivalries, and I had thrown out that Michigan and Notre Dame played the oldest continuing rivalry of football. schools. And I really should have clarified. I, so I'll make this as simple as possible.

There are two divisions in college football. There's sort of the upper level division and there's the lower level division. And I was talking about the upper level division in which they play for the bowl championship games at the end of the year. And indeed, Michigan, Notre Dame is the oldest game in the upper level division. However, you may have heard of two tiny little schools called Harvard and Yale. They in fact have been playing rivalry games longer than anyone else, even though they are not in the top-level division of NCAA football. So Harvard and Yale have been playing since 1875. All the luck to them in their continued rivalry as we move forward.

So if you get that question. All the luck to both of them. I hope they both tie every year into perpetuity. So if you get that question in pub quiz, yeah, listen for how it's qualified. If there's no qualifications at all, they may mean Harvard, Yale. If they say in the highest level division, it's Michigan, Notre Dame. All right. Oh, thank you.

So thank you to the listeners who wrote in. Finally, we're getting in some quizzing. Time for our usual first general trivia segment. Pop Quiz Hot Shot. And when I say general, it is not general today because we have these special snack food trivia cards that I'm going to try out with some of you guys. From the game. Eat it. Eat it.

Eat it. All right. These categories are themed. let's start with snack attack. Introduced in the early 1990s, this snack is literally a giant fruit roll-up on paper. A giant fruit roll-up on... Oh, is this fruit by the foot?

Correct. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember they used to have video game cheat codes on the paper. And I would just, like, throw away all the candy and just get the paper. Yeah, two cheat codes. Next category, cookies. What? Oh, the Brits will get this one.

What high society Cars cookie is perfect if you are looking to fit in with the rich and famous. Is it Brits? No. Oh, it's cookies. Yeah. Cars? I know the brand cars. I don't know.

What is it? Hob knobs. Oh, okay. I do not know those. All right, next category, ice cream and desserts. During World War II, there was a shortage of flour for making ice cream cones. So instead, cones were made out of which of the following? Esbestos.

Lead. All right, here's the list. Processed cardboard, crushed soy meal, or crushed popcorn. Oh. Chris again. I'll go with crushed popcorn. Correct. Yeah, I'll go with that too, yeah.

Process cardboard would be. Yeah. That sounds good. It's like a corn cake. All right, next category is. Candy. Spangler's Candy's Lollipop does not have an intelligent name, but it has managed to be a favorite

lollipop for decades. Data. Dumb-Dum. Dumb. All right, last question is in the chocolate category. In the movie Caddyshack, what type of candy bar was thrown into

the pool of wandering caddy day? A college. I believe that was a baby Ruth. Correct. Good job, Braves. Doty! It's funny that they don't use that in their promotions, you know, as much. It's like,

maybe Ruth. Looks like a turd. You know what? I've read that in a lot of movie or TV special effects or pop department, they would use a melted candy bar for poop. Oh, sure, yeah. Baby showers. Have you played that game where you melt the mini chocolate bars in a diaper and you open it up?

And then people have to smell the it looks like poop in the diaper and you try to figure out what candy bar. Yeah. No, but now I want to have a baby just just so we can play that candy. Well, it's Russian Roulette. Because one round, it is true.

To you. My goodness. Sorry. All right. All quiz. Who wants to go first? I will go first. All right.

Decisive. It's rock and roll. All right. Let's get our brains limbered up here with a quiz inspired directly by a quiz that Dana did many months ago. Quiz is called Japan or not Japan? Oh. That is the question. All right.

So I will read you a fact about a country. And you have to take. tell me if this fact is a fact about Japan or not about Japan. You can put your barnyard buzzers down because Colin and Dana and Karen are all going to be giving me a thumbs up if they think it's Japan and a thumbs

down if they don't think it's Japan. You riding in your car right now, John Q listener can do whatever you want. If it's Japan swerve into the car to the left of it. If it's not Japan, swirving to the car to the right of you. No. An officer.

I play that game. People on the fake radio told me to do this. All right, here we go. Question one, or statement one. What is generally thought of as the world's first novel was written here? Colin says yes. Dana says yes. Karen says no.

Yes, the tale of Genji's generally thought of as being the first novel ever. I was guessing India. It's pretty big. Really? Yeah, it's like phone book thick. Yeah, Jonathan Livingston Seagull, it's not. I'm going to take that joke out, I guess. Because it's a small book.

These are the jokes, people. These are the good ones. Factoid, the world's most expensive watermelon was purchased here. Was purchased here. I feel like this might be a Chris Coler. Oh, it might be a Chris Colerick question. Dana, yes, Colin, yes, Karen, no. Yes, it is Japan.

Purchased for $6,800. So what makes it worth that much money? Well, they only grow a few of them. than they only grow about 10,000 of these Densiquet melanzir, and it's just, you know, it's perfectly round, it's a perfect example, it was sold early in a season, yeah. Okay, how about this? The world's most

expensive fish was purchased here. Everybody thinking. Colin says yes, Karen Adana saying, no, yes it was. In fact, it was just in January 2013, a bluefin tuna sold at the Tzkiji fish

market, the big sushi market in Japan. for a record $1.8 million. Oh, holy, yep. This country has an urban myth of fan death, which says that sleeping

in a closed room with a fan blowing on your face will kill you. Whoa. Japan? Or not Japan? Mm. Dana says yes.

Colin says yes. That sounds weird. Not Japan. No, it is weird. It is not Japan. the country of South Korea in which all, and most fans, most little

table fans are actually sold with timers on them so they will turn themselves off after a certain period of time to deal with the death occur. It doesn't. How is it alleged to a mix? Yes. All right. The dish

known as ramen was invented here. Karen says no. Dana says no. Colin says no. Colin says no, ramen was invented in Japan by Chinese cooked in Japan. Now the noodles came from China but the dish which is why I very specifically said the noodles in the broth with the stuff in it was actually a Japanese invention. Darned. Crazy right? Got fooled.

Fireworks were invented here. Everybody says no, everybody is right. Fireworks were invented in China. Yeah, when in doubt it was invented in China. This country has the longest overall life expectancy in the whole world. Karen says yes. Dana says yes. I think this was true at one time. I think, yeah, I'm going to say yes. It is still true.

Japan has the longest overall life expectancy, according to the World Health Organization. For overall, with everybody, it is tied with a couple other countries. For women, it is number one. This country is located on a peninsula. This country is located on a peninsula. It's like a trick question. I'm going to...

Dana says yes. Colin says no Karen says no It is not A peninsula is not an island It is a stretch of land That stretches away from a continent I know what a peninsula is

And I know Japan is an island But I was like This is such a weird question Maybe it's a trick question So Korea for example Is on a peninsula Japan is actually You know what Japan is?

Archipalago Yes An archipelago Archipelago Archipelago I think it's an archipelago Archipalago. Archipalaga.

It's a collection of islands. Grouping of islands. Yes, indeed. And that is Japan or not Japan. I just want to say, I know what a peninsula is. But, Dana, do you see, like when you're doing Belgium or not Belgium, you make a second-guess things we think we know. The president of Belgium.

Oh, no. Tritch. Not Belgium. Like, are Brussels sprouts from Belgium? And you're like, no. It's like Brussels. Well, what, yeah, but what if they were invented by like, you know, Bill Brussels? The Chinese.

Yeah. From like, from upstate New York. I don't know what a peninsula is. Just for the record. You don't want people write in comments. You don't want people write in comments. I think she should leave the podcast. All right, my turn.

And I have a name for my segment. It's called Taxerific. A lot of people know I love Amundian. And I think the naming of animals or living organisms is really cool. Oh, yeah. Like taxonomy. So usually in your taxonomy living organism name, you have the genus name and the species. So a homo sapien.

Homo is the genus and sapien is the species. Do you guys know that there are so many living organisms in the world? Also, a lot of the names, the species names, are made dedicated to famous people. Oh, yeah, sure, sure. Sure, sure. But a lot of these are, there's like a weird, funny reason why they're naming these things. So I have a quiz. This is about organisms named after famous people.

Oh, great. And basically what I'm asking for is the famous person. All right. So let's start with this one. The name of this particular caribid beetle is a reference to a certain actor's physique because the males of this species look like they have big bulging biceps. Colin. Is it Arnold Schwarzenegger? Yes, it is the Agra Schwarzenegger ride.

And it's a little, little bit of Bice's little. It's very cute. All right, well, lots of caribet beetles are actually named after famous people. Another species of the caribid beetle was named after this actress because, quote, the existence of this species of elegant beetle is dependent upon the rainforest not undergoing an Armageddon. I wish I can tell you what actress is in. Is it Dana? Liv Tyler?

It is Liv Tyler. It's the Agra Liv. Wow. This one species of Woolly Lemur, native to Western Madagascar, is named after what British funny man because of his fondness for lemurs, as shown in documentaries narrated by him and his movie Fierce Creatures. Oh, is that John Cleese? Yes, Monty Python John Cleese. He's done a lot of effort in protecting and preserving these lemurs. And it's called Avahi Kleezi, or also known as a Cleese-Wolly lemur, which sounds weird.

In 2011, a species of horsefly was named after what singer-slash-actress because of its striking golden behind? J-Lo. Incorrect. 2011. I was going to guess J-Lash-Lash-Lash-Las. Shaloh, yeah. 2011. Golden behind?

Oh, Beyonce? Yes, Beyonce. A horsefly with a striking golden behind is a scapsia Beyonce. A German collector, Oscar Shybel, was sold a specimen of a then undocumented species of weird blind cave beetles in 1933. And he dedicated the name of this beetle to which chancellor of Germany? Angela Merkel That's the only Chancellor of Germany

I think of she The Chancellor of Germany What is this? What year was this? 1933 Oh, three It was Hitler The enulfelmus

Hitler eye We were all thinking Like in honoring somebody It was It was too old Yeah And you know The fear

He actually He heard and learned About the dedication And wrote a thank you No And be like oh thank you for naming this blind cave beetle after me of showing his gratitude.

And even though it might not be appropriate, it's taxonomic tradition not to change the name after it's set. So now it's always going to be called the Anatholmus Hitleri. And it is poached by collectors who want Nazi memorabilia or Hitler Beetle. Yeah, the Hitler Beetle. Wow. This extinct species of a giant, iguanian lizards from

Myanmar is named appropriately after this rock star Giant Lizard Chris Is it Gene Simmons? No Is it Jim Morrison?

It is Jim Morrison The Lizard King All right A small soil-dwelling invertebrate has fang-like pinchers to grasp prey and crunch it into pieces

before sucking out the juices appropriately is named after this famous author. Oh, my. Oh, oh. Kafka. Incorrect. Wild, I'm always right for the wrong for the right reasons. Bram Stoker?

Yes, Bram Stoker. The Draculoidus Bram Stokerai. Nice. Nice. It's a troglabite. And, yep, has pinchers and crunches. It's bright and sucks out the juices. That's delicious.

Great and gruesome. Yeah. All right, last one. The species of this dinosaur. is called Tanchisaurus, Nedegoepaferima. It's actually a giant portmanteau of the last names, including Neal, Dern, Goldblum, Aguara, Heck, Ferreiro, Richards, and Mazzello, who are all actors of what movie? Everybody!

Jurassic Park! Yeah, somehow they squeezed in the names of the actors into... dedicating the movie and also naming this dinosaur. That is a mouthful. Yeah. Netagoepaphaerima. Very good job, guys. Get to Toronto's main venues like Budweiser Stage and the new Roger Stadium with Go Transit.

In trivia, sometimes I'm bringing this up. I'm like, oh, these questions are for dudes. Like, I don't know. So I wrote a quiz. It's about things that maybe ladies would know more about. Some dudes would know as well, but this is for the ladies, this quiz. All right. For the ladies.

It's about hair removal products. Oh, man. What brand of Razor says it's a choice for every goddess? Colin. I don't know this. Yes, the Venus Razors. This hair removal product consists of honey, molasses, sugar, and lemon juice, and it was named...

Karen, let me finish it. It was named for the Minter's daughter, Karen. I know this. Nads! Why don't I get to guess this? Nads! She beat you. Nads.

Wait, what? It was named for... Nadee. Her name was not Nets. Yeah. I was like, what? But isn't it so funny that hair removal is called Neds? It was named. The infomercial, they'd be like, oh, it's non-toxic,

because it's made out of basically sugars. Like, sometimes in the infomercial, they'd lick it. Yeah, they would eat it. They would eat it and be like, oh, it's safe. But it's not the one, it's not the stuff with hair in it, though, I think. It's the fresh. Pulling it off someone's body and then just eating it. Like a noosey, testing a quarter.

The sweat gives it sort of salted caramel. Oh, it does. It would. What is the name of the electrical device that's used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hair simultaneously and pulling them out? Colin. Is that the epa lady? What's the generic name for that? Oh.

That's a brand. Oh, I don't know either. It's no-no. The little coil thing, right? It's epis-something. Yeah. What is it? It's an appellator.

Ah. Appellator. Appellator. A pillator. That sounds like an evil power rangers. It is. It hurts. It's like an evil, evil device.

It mechanically grasps multiple hairs simultaneously and pulls them out. If you say it slowly and space all the words out, so people don't think of all those words going together. Mechanically grasps several hairs. Okay, well, that's not that bad. Yeah, that's better than one at a time. And pulls them out. Pulls what out.

I forgot what was happening. I forgot about the time I get to the end of the sentence. The song's short shorts was used by this hair removal company to advertise its product in the 70s. Colin. That is Nair. Yes. Who wear a short shorts?

Colin where you? Do you know who sang the song originally? Oh, gosh. Oh, Banana Ramas the Venus one. They are called the Royal Teens. The Royal Teens. Yeah. That's a good one to file away.

Yeah, I feel like that's going to come up sometimes. The Royal Teen. In the 40-year-old Virgin, Steve Carole's character, gets his chest wax. While he's getting it wax, he yells out a series of profanity and, like, gibberish. He also screams out the name of a popular singer. Whose name does he scream out while his chest is getting waxed? Does it start with the F?

No. Oh, man. He does say a lot of F words. This one's on TV all the time, too. I've seen this scene. I can't remember. Like, oh, Debbie Gibson. Nope.

Pat Benatar. No. Oh, whoopie go. What was it? Kelly Clarkson. Of course The scene was real, I believe They were going to fake it

No, we'll just do it for real They did it for real And the blood is real Apparently they did not a very good job of it Apparently because they actually like They hurt him And Paul Red told him to say Kelly Clarkson

Is that we did Good job you guys Things ladies think about a lot And apparently all you guys do too much smoother Yeah Silky smooth. I've got a quiz for you guys called Angels and Demons, and this is a 100% Dan Brown free quiz.

It is a grab bag of general trivia questions, but every question somehow will be tied into the theme of angels or demons or devils or heavenly things. Okay. So, here we go. I got my buzzer ready. In distilling and winemaking industries, what is The Angels Share? Dana. So there is a commercial on Hulu that plays all the time that talks about this.

There's a part of the alcohol that evaporates and is lost forever. That's right. And the part that remains in the oak. That is the devil's cut. That's actually a trademark term. But the Angel's share is a real long-known phenomenon in distilling and winemaking. And, yeah, it's, as Dana says, it's the portion of alcohol and debt that you lose to the atmosphere. It's right.

The angels take it. That's very beautiful. It's very poetic. It's a ceiling pink. Yeah. Yeah. There is a common name is the angels share fungus. And this fungus grows in alcohol-rich environments in the air.

And so you'll commonly find this fungus growing on buildings near distilleries or wine-making facilities or bakeries or anything. And it's feeding on the evaporated. Yep. Yeah. That's cool. It is really cool. Pound for pound. This animal has the strongest bite of any living creature.

Now, adjusted pound for pound. Oh, I see. Okay, all right, okay. Karen. Alligator. Not the alligator. Keep in mind the theme of the quiz. Angelfish.

No, not the angel fish. Chris. Devil dog. You're close. It is the Tasmanian devil. pound for pound this blew me away pound for pound

they use a measure called the bite force quotient it's the strength of the bite divided by the body mass so Tasmanian devil tops the list with a BFQ of 181 so he can put some holes in you basically

yeah now for comparison like a lion is 112 and so again this is not this isn't the most strength total yeah they're only like you know 20 30 pounds right but they can crush bones because they are scavengers So they need this to bite through...

Bite force quotient. Bite forced quotient. Oh, we should get... Our own BFQ's done. So we can tell people what our bite force quotient is. Just in case they're wondering. Put it on your business card. Yeah.

And don't mess with Tasmania devils. They're bad news. Yeah. This world record holding natural landmark was unknown to the outside world until it was spotted by American aviator Jimmy Angel in... 1933.

Karen. Airs Rock in Australia? No, not Ares Rock. So record holding? Record holding natural landmark. Only known to the outside world since the 30s. Natural. I'll give you a little bit of a hint.

It's named after the person who discovered it. Oh. Angel Island. It's not Angel Island. It is Angel Falls, which is the highest waterfall in the world. This is my favorite fact of learning something. And the guy's name was Jimmy Falls. Yeah, he was an aviator doing, like, a reconnaissance mission looking for ore in Venezuela, where Angel Falls was and still is, and he spotted it from the air and came back and basically like, Jimmy Angel.

And I had always thought it was like, oh, you know, it's beautiful. Yeah, or like it's a, you know, a religious honorific. But no, it was discovered by Jimmy Angel. Like Sam German and German chocolate cake. Yes. Right. In the Catholic Church, what is the more common name for the person who holds the title? promoter of the faith

and this person has a very specific job in certain Catholic church proceedings Karen Archangel No That is actually an angel That's an angel

This is a real person Oh oh Dana Evangelist No no I'll give you the Latin term for it is the Advocatus diaboli Oh

The devil's advocate Yes this is the devil's advocate, which is a very real, very specific job within the Catholic Church. Which is to... Be a jerk. So, during things like canonization proceedings, they will have two lawyers, essentially. One lawyer is God's advocate. Whoa.

One lawyer is the devil's advocate. To basically say, like, why somebody shouldn't be canonized. The job of the devil's advocate of the promoter of the faith is to play skeptic. Wow. And sort of, you know, make it that doesn't seem like just a rubber stamp for things like canonization. Yes, isn't that really great? That's cool.

And that is directly where we get the metaphorical meaning of devil's advocate. And that still exists. Yeah. There is a dude who is the devil's advocate. That is right. What major American city was originally named El Pueblo de Nuestra, La Reina de Los Angeles, del Rio de Porciuncula?

Dana. What? L.A. Los Angeles. It's right there in the middle. Yeah. I say it again. I dare you.

The Pueblo de Nuisrella la rena de los Angeles del Rio de Porcuncula, which translates in English to the town of our lady, the queen of angels of the Porciuncula River. So, yes, many American cities, of course, were named in Spanish and named after angels or saints or things like that. For example, as you guys probably know, San Francisco, it means Wales vagina. I love you guys. St. Francis. Yes, St. Francis. San Diego, that's right. That's right. Three of the ten largest cities in the United States are also named after saints.

San something. Can you guys name them? And I don't need you to give me three of the largest cities. Three of the ten largest cities by population. San Jose is one. Yes. San Diego. San Diego is another one. It's not San Francisco. It is not San Antonio. It is San Antonio. Well done. All right. We'll close it out here with what I feel is a very appropriate good job brain question. Uh-oh, with poop. The name of this common bread can be translated into English as devil's farts.

What? Do farts. Chris. Pumpernickle? Pumpernickle! Yes, Pumpernickle in German comes from roots Pumpern, which was a word meaning fart, essentially.

And nickel is a form of Nicholas, a name which in German was often associated with goblins or demons or the devil It's like Old Nick, meaning the devil. So, pumper nickel is devil's farts, goblin's farts. Nice. And they say, you know, they do say that part of the illusion is... Sure doesn't taste like it.

To the gastric distress that eating too much pumper nipater. Lots of pleasure. Yeah. Wow. All right. Good job, guys. 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 she serious? No. The Naked Gun.

Only in theaters. August 1st. Here is a quiz about famous airplanes. Maybe the names of specific airplanes. Boy, topic. Yeah, well, we already had the famous ways to get hair off your body topic. Yes, but maybe the names of specific airplanes or the names of types of airplanes or historical facts about airplanes. Just basically airplane quiz.

All right. Yes. All right. Here is a question. And the following is a patented Chris Kohler. trick question. This is a trick question. Fleetwood Mac. Yes. That in itself could be a trick you got.

I know now you're freaking out. Okay. Deception. What is, the answer by the way is not a movie. What is Air Force One? Who is that? Colin? Colin. What is Air Force One? That's the airplane of the

President of the United States. That is not specifically what I need. Oh, it is whatever the airplane, the U.S. President is on is called Air Force One. Yes. Whatever U.S. Air Force plane the president is on has the call

sign. It's the call sign for the air traffic controllers. It is called Air Force One. It travels with the president. Yes, there is no plane called Air Force One. That's the important thing. All right, smarty pants. What's Air Force 2? What is Air Force 2, Colin? Is that

the same set of call signs that travels with the vice president? I need you to be a little bit more specific about this. Oh, how specific. There's one very important thing about Air Force, about Air Force 2. It is, it is any U.S. Air Force plane on which the Vice President is traveling, just as long as... Oh, as the President is not also there. Yes, because that would make an Air Force 1.

Got it. Got it. Okay. One of the most famous and valuable stamps, U.S. stamps, and stamp collecting, features a printing error with a plane that is upside down. It was printed upside down on the stamp. What is the name of this plane? Colin. I believe that's a Jenny? It is a Jenny. Yes.

It's called the stamp is called an inverted Jenny and the plane is called a Jenny. Is the stamp itself super rare? The stamp is the rarest stamp. How much do they go for? They've gotten up to the million dollar area. Wow. Like a block of them like I think two or four connected stamps that are still on a plate have sold

for like multiple millions of dollars. Wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very rare. Okay. Here's a fun one that everybody can play together. When it is said that the Wright brothers built the first airplane. What exactly do we mean by that? What are the necessary components of an airplane as like what is what was the Wright brothers innovation? Like what did they do first? There's there's four basically components that it has to have.

It has to take off. It has to sustain. flight. Good, good, good.

And then it has to, something else in there. I think the last one is land. They had to cover a certain distance, right? So, yeah, so land is important, but it's rolled into one other thing. So, yes, it has to take off in the sense of it has to be powered. It has to get off the ground by itself. Right, not thrown off a cliff. Number two, it has to be sustained.
