If you're cool, if you're in... Oh, I thought you meant like if you're in the know. Yeah, if you're kind of plugged in and then the know it's the max fund drive. Every year we come to you and say, Hey, can you help us make these shows because we

literally can't do it without your help? Yes. And we're at what the way it works is you go to maximumfund.org for its last join. And then you say, I can I can pledge five bucks a month for these shows. This is worth it to me. I can pledge $10 a month, maybe $20 a month. You like this stuff?

He says, if you you would tip a bartender for a drink, maybe tip a podcast that you enjoy, buck a podcast, buck a drink, you know, that kind of idea. It's like a tip. Here's a tip. Thanks for, thanks for a podcast. Hey, I'll take it. Yeah, I like it.

No matter what the metaphor, the address remains the same. Maximum fund or first-last joint. We'll talk more about it in the middle of the show, but right now, we have something so special. You know me, I am so thrilled about this. I think it might have been my idea. This was your idea. I don't remember, this is a second.

Do you want my light? Sure, this is the second time we've done this, actually. And I can't remember if it was your idea or my idea the first time around but either way you were the one who suggested we repeat this for Max Fundrave. So welcome to the I don't have a catchy name. I literally named this. I'm sure you'll come up with one in the moment. I named it Sobones quiz 2021. You can do better than that. Come on. Sobones quiz 2021 you can do better than that. Come on.

The sobones trivia extra. Sobones super sobones super secret sobones don't look at my face too much. You don't want to read into it. Just just go with your gut. Super secret sobones. just go with your gut. Super secret solbons. Quizz of interesting information to inform and we've gone off the light and the text is to be there's too much and impress your friends. It's a great acronym, folks. If you put all those letters together, it's how I always do it. Yeah, this is Saban's quiz. We're sitting is going to ask a series of questions. And if you've been paying attention over the past 12 count of months. It's about a year.

Yeah, it's, it's, it's, it's, they're mainly episodes that we did actually throughout 2020. I think I maybe got a couple at the end from the beginning of this year, but they're pretty much all from 2020. I know that you have all been aching to relive 2020. Yes, and here it is, your big shot to do just that. Well, Sid, I'm thrilled. I can't wait. Let's get now.

Now, if you, here's a great part about this. You, yes, you, can play along at home. That's right. And these are, again, based on all of our episodes from the past year. So if you've listened, you may know some answers. It's okay if you don't though. Yeah. That's fine. This doesn't go on your permanent record. So question number one. William Cunningham. The most I want to close along. I need to close my browser tab because I don't even want

to be I don't even want the appearance of error pride. The most William Cunningham, the most famous of the grave robbing goals of Cincinnati. Allegedly did all of these heinous acts except one. Was this one of the, this is like our last live show, right? I believe so. Which one? So he gave a smallpox victim to a group of medical students who tried to cheat him. He weakened at Bernies a corpse when the cops happened by. He attempted grave robbing even during the daytime or he mailed a corpse via American Express.

Okay. Um, I'm, I, I feel one did he not do. This is hard because you did this one when I was actually in the throes of like that live energy, you know, that, that, the energy from the audience that loop, the love, I guess you'd say from like me, them, them, them to me, you to them, them to us, you between me, you know, so it's really hard to remember. I should call a moment you're having here. Um, I would say, okay, I, I, I feel like I remember the American Express one. Um, you know what?

I am going to say. B, the, we can burn these at corpse. I am so sorry, but you are wrong. Hey, good start. He actually did do this. Oh my God. Uh, when the cops came by and he had a corpse in his carriage, he set him up next to him and pretended he was just a really

drunk guy. That's right. No, the correct answer was see attempted grave robbing even during the daytime. Seems the least audacious of these choices, but he actually didn't do that. He did stick to nighttime and did all the other things. So least audacious of these choices, but he actually didn't do that. He did stick to nighttime and did all the other things.

So if you got that one right, get one point. Question two. Will all of these be worth one point? Do you have a sliding point scale? I really have a sliding. No, because I have harder ones and easier ones so that I wanted everybody to feel good. Okay.

All right. I'm ready. All of these were acceptable items to apply to a wound in order to form laudable pus except one, which, so if you remember, we used to think that when your wound got all smelly and covered in pus, it was a good thing. Mm-hmm.

So we wanted that. Yes, we wanted that. That's why it was laudable. It was part of the healing process. So you could apply all of these things to form laudable plus except one, which one? Animal Dung, Honey, Pigeon Blood, Hot Irons, or Soap and Water. Animal Blood, Pigeon. Animal Dung, Honey, Pigeon Blood. Animal blood. Pigeon. Animal Dung.

Animal Dung. Honey. Honey. Pigeon blood. Hot irons. Hot irons. Soap and water. I'm gonna say soap and water.

Justin, you are correct. Mimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimimim Right, we did not recommend soap and water. What good was that if you wanted to get all covered in pus? Yes. Was that one of the easy ones to make people feel good? Uh, I don't know. What do you think? I mean, I got it right. So I probably, yes. It's so hard.

I mean, I did the episodes. I put them together and I was looking through my show notes to put together this. So it's, you live this. I mean, like it all seems, you know, it doesn't seem as hard to me. Yes. Question number three, what was the radical suggestion

made by Ignat's Simmelvice to decrease the incidence of child bed or perperal fever? What was his radical suggestion? I have choices, but you look like you, you look like you don't need it. Don't even need it. Okay, you don't need it. I know you need it. Okay, you don't need it. I know you know the answer.

I can see it in your face. You want me to give the choices though for those playing along at home? Of course, yes. Your choices are A, a mustard and vinegar poultice. B, laxatives to balance the humors. C, wash your hands. Or D, only deliver babies at night.

I remember this because we talked about it with, who did we talk about this with? Recently, do you remember? We talked about simple mice. And about the idea that washing your hands was, who do we talk about this? We were guessing on a show, were we? Was that?

Oh, I think it was on GoFactorSelf. Yes, is that where we mentioned it? I, maybe, I don't know. We're going to be on GoFactorSelf. Yes, is that where we mentioned it? I've maybe, I don't know, we're gonna be on GoFactorSelf, which is another MaxFund podcast in a couple of days as you're hearing this. It's, you have to listen to it. If you like either one of us listen to that episode of GoFactorSelf.

I know the answer is washing your hands. That's right. Which seemed very revolutionary at the time. Yes, that's right. He was ostracized by all of the medical community. It's been the end of his life sort of being mocked and ridiculed. And then years later we went, hey, that was actually a good idea. Yes.

Number four. That's how I'm going to be with Oak Island when people, I'll die and people will be like, I was done, I found it. And then a few years later they'll be like, hey, we did find the Tertrono Kyle and Justin has been right. This entire time, boy, there is egg on our proverbial faces. You actually medically can never die, so. Oh. Yeah. Cool. I just decided that. Oh, excellent.

I've long suspected, but imagine my relief. Question number four, no choices for this one. I'd say this is maybe a harder one. So I have a clue. So no choices, okay. What infectious organism is named in honor of the two researchers who contracted it and died of it while studying it?

And you said you had a clue. Mm-hmm. We're on offer. I have a clue. Do I have to do a physical challenge? The clue is, Riketsia Proudcheke. Riketsia Proudcheke.

There's so many science people who are like, well, now I know, just give me the answer. Riketsia Proudcheke. That's a scientific name. Oh, of the organism. Of the organism that causes tape curse

You mean giving answer? Yeah, give me a syllable. Well, you started with Thai. Typhoid fever. Close to Typhus Typhus Typhus Typhoid fever. Typhus. Typhus. Typhus. Typhus. Named for Howard Ricketts and Stanislaus Proudcheck, who both tragically perished of typhus while studying typhus. That is a bad beat, but a legacy. Yes. Question number five, which of the following factors helped create the atmosphere that led to the cholera riots?

Was it A, there were no good treatments for cholera, so those taken to the hospital often died. B, doctors had recently been arguing publicly that grave robbing was pretty okay. C, no one understood that it was spread by water and not measma. D, one doctor misdiagnosed a woman in labor as having cholera. Or E, all of the above. Okay, one more time. Give me a minute, one more time. All of them again?

Yes, quickly. This should be more right as a contestant. A, there were no good treatments for cholera. What's the question? What's the question? Now you just have to guess. All they're above? Yes.

Here's a quiz taking, for me, you kids. If somebody gives you an all the above and there hasn't been an all the above, oh, it's all the above? Yes. Here's a quiz taking for me, you kids. If somebody gives you an all the above and there hasn't been an all the above, oh, it's all the above. Well, I just wanted to get in all the factors that led to the color riots because I thought that was really interesting. Yeah.

If you remember, nobody trusted the government. Your hubris led to a free point for the J-man. I haven't been keeping score. What are we at? How many have I gotten right? I know, I do. It's almost too many.

That was question number five, but I don't know. You missed one. Well, I missed the last one and I've missed the first one. I think I got three out of five. Question number six, where was the first anti-mask league formally founded and in response to what illness? The first anti-mask league was in. Oh, man, was it San Francisco? The first anti-mass league was in...

Oh man, was it San Francisco? Yes. Yes. And what was it in response to? The... The... The... The... The...

The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... The... 1919 1918 you got it. Yes, the influenza pandemic of 1918 Sometimes I'm a cuddle of this bitch flu and that's why I was struggling because I didn't want to call this

sometimes miss nomad Yes, very good in our episode the proof we have Apparently hated masks since masks existed. Yeah, we just you know Some things never change. Question number seven, where was the site of arguably history's deadliest parade? That one. I have choices. Okay, let me hear the choices I'm pretty sure I know,

but Philadelphia, Boston, St. Louis, or Huntington West Virginia. The spider parade of Huntington West Virginia of 2016 did claim a lot of innocent lives. But there was also the parade that I stopped. So it could have been the answer. Yes, when Sydney stopped the parade for COVID. Huntington's biggest buzzkill. Sydney Macri.

Philadelphia. Sidney McRoy. Philodelphia. That's right. Liberty Lone Parade in Philadelphia, which did lead to a giant outbreak of the 1918 influenza pandemic there in Philadelphia. Boston did have a parade, not as deadly. St. Louis canceled their parade, so they didn't end up like Philadelphia. Boston was a trick, right? Because Boston was a trick because Boston did have a parade but it did not lead to the massive number of cases that that Philadelphia paraded.

According to Dr. Duncan McDougall of Haver Hill, Massachusetts, what is the weight of the human soul? 21 grams. I don't know if I should give this to you. 20 grams? 21. 21. Point. Three. Great.

I mean, you're going to give that to me. You can't help me. Absolutely. You're giving that to me. They call the movie 21 grams, so you can't really fall for that. If you remember, this is from the episode where we talked about Dr. Duncan McDougall, who did indeed try to find the physical weight, the actual tangible weight of the human soul by weighing people before and after they died. Bonus follow up.

How much, according to Dr. McDougall, does a dog soul weigh? Well, dog ears, probably divided by seven, so let's say three grams. I am so sorry. According to Dr. McDougal and his experiments, dogs have no souls. Oh, that's right.

Gosh, what a delightful episode. I'm thrilled to revisit. It couldn't find anyway. It's absolutely bad. I'm not even that bummed out about because it was a bonus point, so it's not even that big video. Question number nine, can you describe the second trauma theory for memory loss associated with head injury?

What is the second trauma theory? Oh, the second trauma theory is that if you get bonked on the head once and it causes you to lose your memory, you can as depicted in many Tom and Jerry skits, get bonked again and regain your memory. That is exactly the second trauma theory that many people did believe for a long time, even though, uh, Francois B. Schott, who came up with it, really had no evidence or cases or anything to back it up. This seems good. came up with it, really had no evidence or cases or anything to back it up. This is very persisted for a long time before everyone finally agreed. No, no, head injuries are bad.

It's just like the freaking jukebox and happy days, right? If Fonzie just hits it the right way again, it'll start, start plan a new, whether an even number or odd number of head dramas, do not, do not intentionally sustain head drama. Just in question number 10, before we go to a quick break, which surgeon general does Sydney have a painting of hanging in her office? Oh, this is a free one. Do you want to give people a, no, you've said it before on the show.

Well, I did a whole episode about this surgeon general. So I feel like there's a chance they'll know. It is Joy-Slan Elders. That'll know. It is Joy-Slan elders. That's right, Dr. Joy-Slan elders. A hero. Mine hero. Yes, initially this question was, who was the best surgeon general? That's wild.

Right, I felt like that was so subjective and not fair for a quiz. That's just my opinion. Who has the time to debate it right? Because you can go by seven different metrics and it's like also, everybody can weigh in on that would love to. So I went with something concrete and factual that I thought many people might get. So that was question 10. There was 11 points available because you had one bonus. Yes. So out of 11 available points, I'm sitting pretty at eight. I'm feeling really, really, especially since you're a co-host of the show that this is based on. Yeah, but I'm looking at, but when you're

talking, I'm usually looking at like meters and stuff like that and trying to think of great jokes to say. So I think like if you listeners at home, like get on my level, I guess is what I'm saying. But right now, before we get into any more quizzing, which I'm very much enjoying. It is the time of the maximum fun drive. And we are once again asking you to join with all the other max fund listeners in helping us support this great network. How does it work? So if you say, I want to give five bucks a month,

it doesn't just go off into space somewhere. It gets distributed to the shows that you say you listen to. Small portion goes to max fund to help run the network. And then the rest of it just goes straight to the shows that you say you listen to. Small portion goes to Max Fun to help run the network and then the rest of it just goes straight to the hosts because what makes Max Fun cool, as compared to a lot of like other, the terrifying monolithic podcast networks. It's all artists own, audience supported, right?

It's just people working together because it makes the most sense. It's a podcasting collective. It's not maybe so. And we just like each other. We just we have a good energy. I would say most. I have a long time viewed with Mark Gaggley already. Everybody knows this. Well, this is well publicized. And that's why when you when you go to the link, when you go to donate, you can choose which shows you listen to. And we hope that if you're listening, you choose sawbones among them. There's other gifts, like we mentioned five bucks a month,

it's you 200 hours of bonus content, 200 plus hours of bonus content. There's so much good stuff in there. If you, but if you can do $10 a month, first of all, thank you. Second of all, you're going to get a beautiful maximum fund pin, which this is our last year for some time doing like these enamel pins. Every show has their own, I think ours has a horseshoe crab on it. It's very cool. It's a very cute pin.

They're all designed by Megan Lynn Cot. They're beautiful. You can pick anyone you want. It's so worth it. And these gifts are available for new donors, but also upgrading. If you're sitting at five bucks a month, and you can do 10, then you're gonna get a pin.

As a way of saying thank you. If you're at, if you can do 20 yards a month, whole wow, you're gonna get a take a minute T-Kit, which was you drink delicious tea created just for you by the Anwish's tea company, a special blend of interstellar orange tea, which is good hot, it's good iced, you'll get a rocket strainer and a tray free to use. Or you know what, if you want to get a hat with the max fun logo on it, you can absolutely

do that too. That is an option also at $20 a month. There's other gifts, like a $35, there's an insulated cup plus all the other stuff before it, but you're not in it for the gifts. I know you listener, you love the stuff that you love and you wanted to keep happening. We've had such a lot of fortune from y'all who have supported us over the years.

You made it possible for this show used to be really, really tough. Especially once we had kids, you used to be really, really tough to spend. Just reason for the few hours when I wasn't at work or raising children. Yeah, it used to be like the 90 minutes or whatever, sometimes that we'd have or an hour, some nights, that we'd have together, sitting at night before we went to Phelous Leap, city we had to spend every night trying to research the show. And I think being able to scale back on hospital work

as a result of this has let you improve the show, do deeper topics, more in-depth topics. It really has. It's enabled us to do a lot more with sovans than I knew we initially could do. And I think it's made the show better. It's made it more interesting for you, more informative, hopefully more entertaining because Justin's like more awake when we're doing it. Yeah. It allows us to pay our wonderful editor, Rachel Jacobs, who makes this show sound great

weekend and week out. And it's just- And pay the tax payers for our theme song. Yeah, that's right. And pay the tax man when he comes and dips his hand in our pocket every March 15th. Thank you very much Joe Biden Taxes are our patriotic duty Yeah, I love taxes everybody is this we're we're we're well established on the subject tax we are pro tax pro taxes pile them up anyway, that's a weird note in the middle of a medical history podcast and a pledge drive. But maximum fun to offer.

So as joy is our, they built the dam. The Hoover Dam was built by your tax. Look at the bridge. Look outside the bridge, outside your door. You too can be part of something great right now, much like the Hoover Dam. By joining our community, actually are a terrible, actually a terrible, it claimed a lot of lives at actually a pretty brutal

undertaking anyway. We are so off the beaten path, maximum funder or first-last join, just go there please. We really need you. If you don't go, we won't hit our goal. And if you can't right now, if you could share our show, if you could, you know, on social media, wherever, tell a friend something about what we do.

We're about working network, we can see you, whatever. That helps to all of that really helps. And we so appreciate it if you are someone who donate, if you are a member of the Max Fun Community, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. All right, let's get back. I'm ready, Sid. I'm ready for more. Question number 11, which of the following grounding products, humor grounding or earthing? Yeah. Which of the following grounding products isn't real?

The grounding mat, the grounding pillowcase, the grounding shoes, or the grounded zero gravity, heat and pulsating massage relaxation chair. I'm gonna go with grounding shoes because I thought that was the whole thing with grounding as you wanted that connection to the earth. That is correct. Yes.

Very good. I wondered if you would catch that. That was the trick. You feel like they would try to make you wear grounding shoes anyway. Even though the whole thing with earthy and or grounding is that you just walk around barefoot and you get special electrical charges from the earth

and it cures all that ails you. Yeah. That's not true. But there are a lot of products you can purchase. Yeah, for sure. Question number 12. Ben Carson and the My Pillow guy think that which of the following extremely toxic poisons is a secret cure for COVID-19. Is it A, arsenic, B, oleander, C, cyanide, or D, stric-9?

Come on, Justin, Ben Carson, and the My Pillow guy agree. Is it oleander? That is correct. Yes. They are. I was waiting for you to talk about, I was went for you to say, what's the other thing? The thing that everybody was a hydro, you know, the thing everybody was like. Hydroxychloroquine?

Yeah, there you go. No, well that's not an extremely toxic poison. That's just a medication. No, there's a war that came into my head. Ah, okay. No, I was trying to just throw you off with other poisons. They were not telling you to take arsenic cyanide or strychnine. They were telling you to take oleandra in which or strict nine. They were telling you to take only

Andrin, which is a derivative only and or Which is an extremely toxic poison cardiac glycoside which If you take too much can kill you. I'm I'm worried that the my pillow guy may now even have my best interest in heart You know what I mean? I don't think I don't think you can apply malicious intent I just think it's that we shouldn't take medical advice from the my pillow guy. Fair. There's a lot of advice you shouldn't take from me.

There are many, you know what I don't know a lot about? Pillows. Can I say something? I got one of his pillows before he was, the heel turn that he made. Yeah. Everybody knew he was a bad person. And it's not even that pillow, also. So maybe you shouldn't take pillow with the pillow.

Even the pillow isn't that good. I'm just saying you shouldn't also take pillow advice for me. I don't know anything about that, but I sleep on whatever pillow Justin puts under my head. Yeah. Or not, or my daughter takes for me, so I just sleep on the mattress. Yeah.

That's a very sad moment. This is why you need to go and eat, so I just sleep on the mattress. Yeah. That's a very, that's why you said it. This is why you need to go to me. So I can get another pillow. Well, you said about me putting whatever pillow under your head was very strange and I'm not going to editorialize on of it at all. I know, can I? Yeah, sure.

Because I didn't need to sound strange. Because you are always into finding a better sleep experience and so you tend to get new pillows more frequently than me. And I'll try the one you didn't like, I always try to see if maybe it'd be better than this other pillow because I'm not picky. I can sleep anywhere on anything. I sleep in a bad way that I've done a good amount of research on it. Everyone agrees it's bad for you to sleep on your stomach.

It's not good to do. So it's hard to find a pillow designed in my terrible, dangerous way of sleeping. So yeah, I have struggled, but this is not about that. No, I just take your hand me down pillows, so I know a lot about sleeping out. Question number 13. Yes. While all of the following were attempted, which was considered the gold standard of care for a patient suffering from nostalgia, which if you remember were clogged animal spirits in the memory center of your brain back in the 1700s. So all of these were attempted, but which was the gold standard, the

one that worked best. Was it A, wine and mercury, B, dairy products, C, putting the patient up high in a tower, D, returningurning them home. Or E. Bloodletting. Those are returning them home, right? That is correct. Only cure for nostalgia. Yeah, go back. Send them back home. Go back. Does the only thing you can do. They got garbage pillages. It's cards now. Just go back. I'm again. See if it fixes it. Well, we used to think that nostalgia was an illness. Yeah, mostly suffered by Soldiers away from home other people too, but but really focused on soldiers and you they really did attempt all these things Including putting people up in a high tower and having them drink a lot of milk to see if it fixed it It was a association with the Alps. Yeah

Uh question number 14 Which other animal-based tests for vaccine and drug contamination did the LAL or limulus amoeba site lysate test derive from the blue blood of horseshoe crabs replace? So we now use this horseshoe crab test, but what other animal-based tests did we use before that? Before we got this. Was it A, the Elephant Inflammation Test? B, the Prairie Dog Fever Test?

C, the Rabbit Pyrogen Test? D, the Sloth Settimentation Rate Gambit. You wish it was D, but it is C. It is C, the Rabbit Pyrogen Test. You curve. And by the way, folks, I wish you could have seen how proud it was of herself when she read the one about sloths. Because it, bearing, like she just got extra child graduate from Princeton.

I love it. I even, just take her view when I came up. I was trying to make up different. All of these are fake except the rabbit pyrogen test. But I thought sloths, sedimentation rate, um, gambit. I wish that was a real thing, but it's not. No, we used to, before we figured out that the blood of horseshoe crabs will coagulate in the presence of certain bacterial toxins, endotoxins, showing us that there's bacteria there and that something is contaminated. Before we figured all that out, we used to just inject stuff into rabbits

and see if they got fevers, which was bad for rabbits. So this test that we have now with horseshoe crabs, typically does not kill the horseshoe crab, although unfortunately sometimes it can. Typically it does not, so. That's all right. More humane.

Thank you horseshoe crabs, you are wonderful. We love you. Yes. You're on our pin. Thankseshoe crabs. You are wonderful. We love you. Yes. You're on our pin. Thanks Horseshoe crabs. In a shirt. We've got merchandise I gonna say like in woods? Cleveland or Orlando? In wounds? Okay. It can live in wounds but that's not where that is not where it's trying to be. The bacteria, yes, the angels glow as because it was in wounds, but where, where does it reside? In the ground. No. In the gut of nematodes. Oh, remember from the hetero-rabbitist family. Yes, wow, that was a tough one. Yeah, sorry. So it lives inside a parasitic worm. The bacteria that glows, that made the wounds glow during

the Civil War, that was called the Angel's Glow, and they thought it was, you know, spiritual. Ah, it was really just this bioluminescent bacteria that lives inside the gut of an nematode, and then it pukes it up, you know, and then it glows. As a bonus, do you remember where the parasitic nematodes would be? Because they weren't just in the wound. That's not good enough. In the... Typically, where are they?

In the... In the feet. They live inside a hollowed-out insect larva. How do you know? That's why, of course, I remember this. Yeah, because you're nasty. I know. It was the nastiest thing.

That's two points I met that long. I'm really sorry. I'm spiraling. I'm really sorry. The bacteria live inside the parasitic worm which lives inside the insect larva. Ugh, that's the grody. Right. That's the grody.

I know, it's all inside the wounds and then made them glow. Question number 16. How does plenty of the Elder recommend treating dropsy? I think this is hard because all of these things are something Pliny the Elder has recommended and you have to remember which one was for dropsy. That's not happening, but I will try. Okay. A. Drink Bores urine.

B. Drink Bat blood. C. Eat a deep-fried canary. D. See, eat a deep fried canary. D, put some weasel ashes on it. Or C, no, E, went backwards. Onion's a possibility. There's literally no way. No, you're just getting, I know this is a hard one.

Deep fried canary. I'm so sorry, that is secure for a hangover. Mm, Of course. Not gonna not remember any of Plenty's wild cures. We wouldn't want to try an onion suppository unless you had hemorrhoids. Putting weasel ashes on it is only good for your eye when you have a cataract in there. Drinking bat blood is the cure for snake bites. So you do indeed want to drink boars urine

when you have dropsy. I'm so sorry. You really seem bummed. You're not really trying to win this, are you? I am trying to win it. I'm coming back. I got a smell of comeback. I got harder in the second half.

Here, you're gonna get this. Which of the following does muing supposedly fix? Muing? Yes. Crooked teeth. A. Crooked teeth. B. Sleep apnea. C. C. O. P. D.

D. Unattractive Face Shape. Or E. All of the above. Hey folks, listen. Hey. What did I tell you? It's E. That's right. If you just position your mouth with your tongue in the roof of your mouth at all times,

you can fix all of these things, including your unattractive face shape. As a bonus, which of these has it actually been scientifically proven to fix? Is the answer none of them? That's correct, now. Okay, Bob. Got it. That was Sydney's little soapbox moment. Alright, question number 18. We're almost at the end. Which of the following was not the focus of a blue light experiment by AJ Pleasanton?

If you remember, AJ Pleasanton believed that blue light could cure things, or make things grow better, or whatever. And so he put blue glass up in places places and then had the light exposed to the things. Which of these things? Cow's, pigs, sheep, grapes, or humans, which was not one of his experiments. Cow's pig, sheep, grapes, or humans. Sheep?

That is correct! Yes! He started with grapes, he went to pigs, then to cows, and then sheep, grapes, or humans. Sheep? That is correct. Yes. He started with grapes. He went to pigs, then to cows, and then finally to humans. And he declared that it all worked. Sadly. He only had tried sheep. He would have found out that it was not. Sadly, it did not work.

Blue light does not make you grow bigger or better, juicier, if you're a grape. You're a grape. Or a me,, just want a little more juice back there. Question number 19, which of the following did Plenty the Elder not claim as an effect of St. John's work? These Plenty ones are so nice. I know, I know they're hard. Which one of these things does Plenty say St. John's work can't do?

It can do all these things, but one. A, stop bleeding. B, act as a diuretic. Make it P, get fluid off. C, stop diurea. D, fix a sore throat. Or E, sciatica. Which one does it not work for? I feel like the diurea diuretic

is actually a trick that I, a trick that you're trying to play on me because those two seem to be country... countryry. I'm going to go with a sore throat. Hey, you're right. I thought you were going to be wrong there. That's right. Plenty said, if you take St. John's order, it will stop your bleeding. It'll make you pee, but it'll stop your diarrhea, and it'll fix your sciatica. But it cannot help your sore throat. Huge. He had lots of other treatments for that. I am certain, and they were probably nasty. Last question. Last question. Number 20, you're going to get this right. I feel like everybody's going to get this one. If you've had a rough quiz, don't worry. A line is grounded around it out.

Which of the following will happen when you get a COVID-19 vaccine? A, you will be microchipped and Bill Gates will follow you. B, you will be susceptible to the influences of 5G. C, you will gain superhuman strength in abilities that defy physics and the constraints of 5G. See, you will gain superhuman strength and abilities that defy physics and the constraints of mortality alike. Or D, you will develop an immune response

to the novel coronavirus, protecting you from infection, hospitalization, and death, as well as bringing humanity one step closer to achieving a level of group immunity that will protect the medically vulnerable, those who do not have access to the vaccine, and those who are too young or unable to receive it due to an allergy

thereby making it possible that we can all hug each other again as soon as possible. It seems like you've written E here all of the above. You've written E all the above. I did not put that. All of the above. I did not put that on there. Oh no, it's dangerous. That's right. So go get your vaccine and you know what? As somebody you know that one person, you know who it is in your life that maybe didn't get it yet. You know what? Ask somebody, you know that one person. You know who it is in your life that maybe didn't get it yet. You know who. And a lot of people, the majority of people, just maybe need a little push. Just a little notch.

Just a little notch. That's what we learned about. You're actually in hesitancy. Like there's a die in the wool group thing, go and get it no matter what, but there's somebody you can reach. So maybe go give a nudge. That is gonna do it for us. I for those competing with Justin, I got 17 out of a

possible 24 points. I believe there's one bonus point in the first round and then three in the second round. So 17 out of 24 was my final score. That's pretty good, Justin. Not bad, not bad. I mean, you are a co-host of the show. Yeah, but again, I'm coming up with jokes. I'm looking at meters. It's all very maximumfund.org for its last joint. This is our last chance to talk to you about this before the pledge drive ends.

So please don't hesitate, because you will forget about it. You'll think about other things to do. Right now, take the opportunity to go to maximumfund.org for its last joint and only take a second. And you can help support the stuff that you love and make sure there's more of it. And then it gets better.

And it honestly doesn't mean so much to us that you have supported us so much over the past 10 years and made this possible. Yeah, I mean, really, I don't think without your support, without your help, I don't know that we would have been able to keep the show going at all for this long. And I certainly don't think that I would feel like we could produce the kind of content we can now.

So thank you. And every year after the pledge drive, people start, there are people that fall off. There are people that can't keep up with it. There are people that cancel. There are people that, whatever. I mean can't keep up with it there people that cancel there people that whatever I mean the numbers to window each year so we need fresh fresh bodies in the fight or if you've had to uh uh you know drop off earlier maybe there's a chance to hop back on if it's financially a little easier for you we know the past year has been

and obviously this goes without saying but it past year has been an absolute nightmare if you've been financially hurt by it in a way that makes it impossible for you to give, there's no, absolutely no. We still love having you as a linear internet stranger. It's a part in you, but consider yourself part in it. We appreciate everybody who listens to the show, of course, whether you donate or not. And again, if you aren't in a position to sharing our show, tweeting about it, talking about what it means to you, it really, it helps us because it motivates other people

who maybe are in that position like, you know what, actually, you're right. I do love this thing, and I would like to support it. Thank you for inspiring me. And if you do, feel free to tweet at us with the Max Fun Drive hashtag so we can say thanks. And let us know how you do on the quiz. If you don't have to. Yes, well, that's do on the quiz. If you want to, you don't have to.

Yes, well that's a great. But if you want to tweet out your score, if you want to brag. And if you want to throw in the max from fun.com forward slash join link in there. That's great too. If you want, if you did better than Justin especially. Yeah. And you want to let him know. Thanks so much for listening.

Oh, thanks to taxpayers for the use of their song medicines as the intro now. To a programming. Thanks for you for listening. We'll be back taxpayers for the use of their song Medicines is the Incher and Outcher program. Thanks for you for listening. We'll be back with you next week until then. My name is Justin McRoy. I'm Sydney McRoy. And as always, don't drill a hole in your head. Alright!
