Yo, what's going on, people of the internet? Welcome back to another special episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And today we are all enemies. As you've noticed...

Just today? Yeah, wait, every episode. Well, just, you know, as you've noticed over the past couple of weeks, we've done trivia. We've been tallying up our scores. You guys might have been wondering, what are you going to do with those scores? How do we know when it ends? Like who wins? This is how we know.

This episode, all of our points are being dumped into this machine that is trivia extravaganza. We are all starting with the points that we have earned over the past few weeks. And if you've seen these episodes before, we will probably end with a very different number of points. Whoever has the most at the end will win. So that's what we've been fighting for this whole time. All of these trivia questions have been to accumulate the

20-something points each of us has. I've been in the 30s. But to run the show, I'm going to pass it over to the producer desk and they will get us kicked off. You're in your 30s? Let's do it. I couldn't have really I couldn't have said it any better than that Marques. That's what's going on, you know, normal trivia rules.

We're going to get into the specific rules of each round when we get there. Some buzzers, some whiteboards. But yeah, you know, I think we might as well just get started. That's loud. What? Oh, guys, it's time for another Waveform Trivia Extravaganza! Marquez, Andrew, David, it's time to compete for the ultimate trivia challenge! There will only be one winner! This is it!

That was incredible. That was epic. Do a Lepa interview with Tim Cook? Thanks. Where am I? That was awesome. Okay. I think that is my alarm every morning.

Yes, please. At the same volume. You got it. All right. So this first round is called That's Old News. And we're going to read you a headline. And you have to tell us if that headline came from this year or from a previous year. Wow.

This is the longest year of my life. Let's see. It's been a long year. This is also a whiteboard round. So please pick up your markers and your pens and your boards. So we're not, this isn't like time-based buzzing in. No, this is going to be normal trivia rules. And again, there's only two possible answers per question.

It is this year or not this year. Should we start real quick just with the actual scores? Did we do that yet? Oh, you know what? That's a great idea. We absolutely should. I'm going to pass it off to, actually, this is a perfect moment to introduce our scorekeeper, producer of the studio channel, Eric.

And Eric, why don't you tell the people what the starting scores of our players are? They pushed me into a really far back corner. All right. So with 24 points, we have Marquez. The crowd goes wild. With 25 points, we have David Amell. That's right. And in the lead, we have 31 points for Andrew.

Let's go. No way he blows this lead. No. No way he blows this lead. No way. Let's do this. First headline. X once again adds headlines to article links, but with tiny text.

Oh, my God. How long has it been? Is this an article from this year or from years prior? Because they took it out, so it was only the photo with no headline. Then they added it, but now it's just this little tiny on the bottom. Yeah, yeah.

Tell them about everything. I'm explaining what it was. Yeah, sure. Give them the answer, why don't you? That's not the answer. How long ago was that? I don't... Flip them and read.

What do we got? David? I put prior. I put old. I put this year. I thought that was pretty recent. Yeah, Ellis had that backwards. It was this year.

We're off to the races, folks. On the first one. Okay. So Marquez is right. Marquez has one point, and that is all that was awarded that round. Wait, so what month was that? I don't know. That was like four months ago, I thought.

No, it was way longer. It was longer than that. This year is just long. January 2nd, 2024. Close. January 2nd? january 2nd you mother you okay they're gonna play with that january december okay all right next headline tesla model y range estimate reduced by six percent becoming more realistic is that a headline from this year or previous years? Oh, damn. Are you going to play the music?

Andrew's already got an answer. Are you just straight guessing on this? I think I need to guess as fast as possible before I second guess myself because it just feels worse when you get it wrong after second guessing. That's true. You only get one guess. If you write one something down and erase it

and write the other thing. And that other one was wrong. Alright, Flipperman Reed, what do we got? I wrote prior. Prior? Nope. I wrote this year. I also wrote this year. Nice, a point awarded each to Andrew and Marquez the

six percent because it was like a new EPA cycle I forgot why it went down yeah I also thought I was this year but I wrote last year interesting strategy we'll see how it pays off. Alright, next headline. Peering through Lenovo's transparent laptop into a sci-fi future. This year or previous years? This is the same thing. Is this CES? CES, absolutely. Lenovo's transparent laptop.

Transparent? Was that this CES? No. Or last CES? I. Or last CES. I don't remember CESs anymore. It feels like a prototype that would be at CES. I mean, transparent tech is hot right now.

I don't remember a Lenovo transparent laptop. I don't remember the product at all. But I'm guessing now. Flip them and read. What do we got? I wrote prior. Oh my god! I wrote this year. Nice. I wrote this year. Nice. Was it?

I wrote this year. All right. CES? Guys. It was. Did you pick another January one? That might have been why. No, this was a February article on The Verge.

So probably not CES. When was there a transparent laptop? It was at MWC. You guys need to give me some. Oh. Oh, MWC, the insides of this laptop. MWC you guys need to give me some oh MWC the insides of this laptop MWC was February

alright guys next headline Samsung's leaked concept videos may show its vision for AR glasses oh no this could have been any time in the last 10 years the amount of probability in that

headline is astounding concept video yeah it's a concept video that may show could show their potential ideas show their CEO cooking steaks in the backyard

who's to say what do we got I put 2024 in the backyard. Who's to say? What do we got? I don't know. I put 2024. Oh my god! Help me. I put last year. You shouldn't have put last year.

You should have just put not this year. Yeah, that's what I meant to put. Oh, no. We'll give it to you. You are correct. I did write this year. I'm going to die. This is from 2021. 2021. I feel like we would have talked about it if we were talking about them doing glasses.

So that felt later. My worst track record ever. Send help. I mean, it's not that far off from when Marquez was guessing everybody's answers and Ellis just rang the buzzer seven times in a row this morning. Next headline. Which one would be good? I've got so many delicious ones here.

What's the probability of getting a 50-50 question wrong? Three times. Four times. It's one half to the fourth. 25, 12 and a half, 6.125%. Amazing, David. That's pretty impressive.

If I can use that probability to find a rare Pokemon in Pokemon DC, that would be amazing. Alright, next headline. Former SolarWinds CEO blames intern for SolarWinds123 password leak. Oh.

Was the SolarWinds hack this year? That was fun. I liked covering that. Although... Did we talk about that? I don't remember talking about that. These are not all headlines that we talked about. These are all headlines that we pulled from the waveform slack,

but they might not have all made... There was like the Microsoft. People don't know. Whatever you think it is, put the opposite. I changed my answer last second. That's not a good sign. What do we got? I put prior. That is correct. Yes.

What did you write though? I put last, but then I was like, wait, last year is not what I want to put. It was not last year, but it was a previous year. I put this year so I put prior thank God but I see I thought it was yeah I think I was starting to mix up the SolarWinds hack with the thing that happened at the airports Oh the crowd straight crowd strike yeah I remember SolarWinds that was also fun to cover. Yeah, fun. Not to be part of. From afar. Next headline.

Thank you. Want to invest in nothing? Carl Pay opens investment opportunity to community. The first time it happened? It's just a headline. Who's to say? Did that happen this year or multiple years ago? I feel like it would be more explanatory if it was it was the first time well it's just a headline want to invest in nothing then just don't do

anything haha I'm investing in nothing right now Wow flip him and read what do we we got? I put prior. Yeah. Oh, man. Now I'm going down the train. I put this year. I put prior. Was it the first time they did that?

That was the first time. I feel like the first headlines were like explaining who Carl Pei was and like who the whatever. Want to invest in nothing? Meet Carl Pei. I guess there's a guy headline the first time too. CEO of nothing is quite the whatever. Want to invest in nothing? Meet Carl Pei. I guess that is kind of a funny headline the first time too. CEO of nothing is quite the title. CEO of absolutely nothing. I'm the CEO of nothing.

Alright, next headline. Ikea releases a pair of affordable USB-C chargers. This is from The Verge. We should start guessing who put it in Slack. This is a Slack channel. Damn, did I post that? No, that's 100% an Adam post.

Yeah. I'd be like, who cares? I can't believe it's a pair. Did it say finally? No. Okay. We all put this year. And you're all...

Correct. This year by the Mountain Goats is a banger track, by the way. Just saying. Oh. You know the song? No. But I'll listen to it later. Next headline.

You won't. Tired of Twitter? Join me on Mastododon that's such a wait that's a headline 20 the headline 18 from wired who are we joining it was called twitter think about that give me the give me the oh true give me the well the name of the author actually i feel like the first time i heard marquez calling x was today when he was like i'm i'm so tired of it like once it was x is the past tense of twitter when you don't want to deal with it anymore it's your ex yeah flip him and read what do we got i wrote

prior you all wrote prior you're all correct what it. Oh my God. Yeah, that's right. I said that before too. I was like, that could be 2018. What? Wait, rewind the tape when I said that could be 2018. Tired of Twitter? Join me on Mastodon. Wait, that's a headline?

That's the headline. All right. I'm not. The last headline. Over 15,000 hacked Roku accounts sold for 50 cents each to buy hardware did that happen this year to buy hardware or in the past to buy hardware to buy s hardware i am really not sure about this one i yeah can you pull that article up and tell us what hardware they're buying i'm confused by that part hacked accounts were used to make fraudulent purchases of hardware

and streaming subscriptions oh doesn't just like stealing someone's credit card and read what do we got no idea this year this year correct This year? Correct. I said prior. This year as well? I was wrong. And you said prior? Prior. We kind of semi-evened out. I think it did even out, yeah.

Probably not fully, but... Nice. I think Marquez made out with the most points in that round. I feel like I did. Eric, you want to tell us if that's true or not? All right, so for this game, in the lead, we've got Marquez with seven points scored so far. Andrew, just behind at six points. You got seven, correct? And David at five.

That's pretty good. Really? That's close. There were seven questions? No, you got a couple wrong, I think. I got two wrong. How many questions were there? There were nine questions.

Really? Nine or ten. That's pretty good. That said, Andrew is still in the lead. There is Garland numbers. At 36 points total. 36. Andrew is still in the lead at 36.

Marquez is up by one for me. Wait, shouldn't I have 37? Yeah, mate. That's 37. Wait. Quick maths. Great job, man. All right, next round.

And this one I'm particularly excited for because you know we're here talking about tech every week right guys and I think there's a lot of things out there in the world that take the principles that we associate with tech and actually like apply them to things that are not tech and I have a quote from a New Yorker article about a fast food restaurant from the 50s that really tried to go against the trends at the time of fast food. This is a McDonald's round, isn't it? By selling tacos to compete with America's burgers.

And I'm just going to read you this quote. This is about one of the first Taco Bells selling one of its first tacos. He assumed that the idea was a lost cause when his first customer, a businessman in a pinstripe suit, dripped grease down his sleeve and onto his tie. Bell showed people how to tilt their heads up in order to eat a taco.

Quote, we changed the eating habits of an entire nation. That was from The New Yorker. His last name was Bell? Yeah. Oh my God. I'd never do that. And so I just thought, you know, we see this all the the time with tech like you come out with a new product class you have to teach your consumers how to do it so this round is called you're doing it wrong techo bell all questions about the technology powering america's favorite taco joint. Did he also start Bell Labs? No. Yes, actually.

No way. What? Yeah. Alexander Graham Bell founded Taco Bell. Are you sure Alexander Graham Bell started Bell Labs? Yes. Are you sure? Who started Bell Labs? What was their name? It's gonna be like

John Bell III. Bell Labs was founded by their name? It's going to be like John Bell III. Bell Labs was founded by Alexander Graham Bell. F*** off. That's an AI answer. Anyway, Techo Bell. This is going to be a buzzer round. Oh. Yeah, you don't need the whiteboards.

And we're going to go with the classic buzzer rules, where once you buzz, if you get it wrong, you are not allowed to buzz again until everyone has attempted to answer the question. Buzz off. Jeopardy time. Okay. So, question number one.

As of July 2024, how many states in the U.S. have AI-powered drive-thrus at Taco Bell? 38. That is incorrect. This is an extremely specific number. Marquez. Two. That is incorrect. Extremely specific number. Marquez. Two. That is also incorrect.

Wait, AI powered? AI powered drive-thrus. Andrew. Zero. That is also incorrect. David. I'm going to let you guys go around once more and then I'm going to tell you. One.

Oh. AI powered. AI powered? AI powered. Like LLM based? I don't know what that is. I don't want to talk to my Taco Bell assistant. All right.

The answer is 13. Okay. Never was going to get that. Is it in the 13 original colonies? Maryland. Sorry. Did we run out of time? Maryland.

Just kidding. My question is, are we doing Jeopardy style scoring where if you get it wrong, it's negative one point? No, fire away. So it's zeros until you get it right and then it's one. Exactly. No penalty. Got it. Did you give me the point? We only really get two chances though per question, right?

I'll let you guys go around until I get bored. The audience will be bored by that time. I'm just going to hold out and not answer so that you can't answer twice that was what my strategy was like let you get it wrong and then not answer so that you can't also guess again okay fine but you know that would be zero points play your game the refs may step in but we'll see okay question number three taco bell is famous for its innovation kitchen which rigorously tests new food items. For every 8 to 10 food items that make it to the official menu, how many are proposed

slash investigated? And this is a multiple choice. A, around 700. B, around 2,000. C, around 5,000. Or D, around 11,000. I'm going with A, 700. That is incorrect.

That's crazy. B. B, 2,000. That is also in. Crap. Correct. Sorry, wrong button. Sorry, wrong button again.

This is a lot of pressure. I have a 50-50 chance, and if I get it wrong, the next person gets it right. That is correct. D. D is incorrect. No! David. C. C is correct.

They test between 4 and 5,000 menu items for every 10 that make the list. That was the flop of the century in my category. Is it a category? This is crazy. Alright, let's continue with another Innovation Kitchen question, because I really enjoy these.

Thank you. All right. When Taco Bell debuts a new food item from their innovation kitchen, they typically do a modified version of an existing rule. But with what rule imposed? And this is another multiple choice. A, you can change taste, but not form. B, you can change form but not form b you can change form but not taste c you can change literally anything you want or d you can change taste or form but not both

d d is correct you can change the taste or the form of the item but you cannot change both so what tastes the same if you make a new in taco bell everything it is the same seven items that's that's true that's fair that's true that's fair i don't know i feel like a crunch wrap supreme tastes different in the crunch wrap than it does in a burrito because it has way too much tortilla on top of it i love that tortilla me too uh and disagree uh in that new yorker article i quoted earlier the they detail like how long the it took the 13 it took the crunch wrap supreme about 13 years of r&d um from initial pitch to in stores there's a bar that has a vegan restaurant built into it in Bushwick, and they make their own vegan Curb Shrub Supremes,

and it's one of the best things I've ever tasted. Crazy. Well, off the shoulders of giants. I wonder if the R&D process is like... Nah. Nah. It's actually... So they talk about that in the article,

and it looks a little bit like that. And the food scientists say the best thing that can happen in those sort of like tasting sessions... What's the answer? food scientists say the best thing that can happen in those sort of like tasting sessions. What's the answer? Is if someone says wow, immediately after they take a bite, what they said is the,

the best thing is if someone takes a bite and doesn't say anything before taking a next, another bite because they're professional tasters, they need one bite to be able to like adjudicate it. But if they just go in for another one, it means they really like it. Alright, Taco Bell actually owns a patent called System and Process for Applying Seasoning

to a Food Item, which details the machinery and processes necessary to apply the cheese powder to the Doritos Locos Tacos. An early prototype of the Doritos Locos Tacos involved the cheese powder being applied to the shell via a spray paint gun. However, this created what issue for Taco Bell employees?

Marquez. Yes. Overspray. That is incorrect. They were having, the employees were huffing it. Yes, that is correct. The employees were having an issue breathing in the cheese dust. Yes, that is correct.

The employees were having an issue breathing in the cheese dust. They were not huffing it recreationally. It was an unintended consequence. I was going to say sneezing. Let's do, I think I want to do one more Taco Bell question, and then I think we can go to commercial. How does that sound, guys? Sounds great. All right.

Taco Bell opened with five food items. Tacos, tostadas, burritos, frijoles, and the chili burger. Chili burger? Yes. Wow. What was the first menu item added to that list, a.k.a. the first Taco Bell innovation? Can you rename the five?

Tacos, tostadas, burritos,ritos frijoles and chili burgers david david the one where they put the hard taco inside of the soft taco andrew would you like to tell us what that is called well the hard taco inside the soft tacos the double decker taco but uh no but then the cheesy gordita crunch isn't a soft shell taco it's closer to like a flatbread you're right no you're right either way that is not the correct answer but thank you for playing all right wait what was it chalupa no that's a dessert right no what's the that's the one with Naruto. Damn. Is Anakin the bad guy? Dang it.

I just have to... I'm just... I just gotta name another menu item, basically. Marquez. Cheesy Fiesta potatoes. No. That isn't correct. This is a good time, because they're doing the, like,

through the years right now as, like, a specialty thing, but... I'll say yeah crunch up supreme no uh we're this is not sponsored they didn't give us a dime yeah but you should be pretty cool if you feel like it i we sound stumped would you like the answer i think i'm stumped yeah anyone want to give one more guess the correct answer is the encherito what's that enchilada burrito aren't they the same thing did you put not even close kind of wet i thought they were kind of the same thing it's like a cheese wrapped burrito it's got enchilada sauce we'll do one more we'll do one more all right which of the following is not a real Taco Bell innovation?

Which of the following is not a real Taco Bell innovation? Does innovation mean it had to make it to the menu? Yes. Okay. Okay. A, magic paper. A paper formulation which covers the grilled cheese burrito while it's in the heat press and prevents the cheese on top of the burrito from sticking to the paper.

Dope. B. Operation K-. The program to transition all Taco Bell locations to food prep in a central kitchen instead of in the individual kitchens. Markers. Hold on. There's four answers. C. No way it's that one.

The waffle taco. A breakfast sausage and egg taco with a waffle shell. That sounds fire. Or D. These are all real and I didn't make a single one up. Well, it's Marquez first. Yeah, Marquez technically does get to answer. I don't know, though. I sincerely hope it's B.

B is incorrect. No, hey, I was second. Do we get to do that far in advance? Yeah, well, Marquez did. Marquez was more in advance than me. Well, Marquez was first. You both will say your answer at the exact same time. One, two, Marques did. Marques was more in advance than me. Well, Marques was first. You both will say your answer at the exact same time. One, two, three.

D. D is correct for both of you. Okay. And with that, I think we should take our first commercial break of the program, but don't go anywhere because we have so much exciting trivia. I feel like that was the second category in all of trivia extravaganza that was made for me, and I did horribly on both of them. No, you're doing great.

Not to mention, later in the episode, we're going to get to a waveform. No, we're not doing G Fuel this time. I figured we had to play that one out. But we will be doing another fan favorite, which is the famous waveform audio round. I love the audio round. Every time I do real trivia, I slap in the audio round. It's true. I've seen it. David's a really good bar trivia partner.

We turned off gravity during that. I'm going to kick it over to adam to uh hit this next round so marquez always talks about how youtube used to have video replies so we gathered a bunch

of old youtube features that you might have forgotten about or did we you have to tell us which ones are real features that youtube had and which ones we made up. I hope you made a section for each of us. Yours passed already. What was that? The news one. I did horribly. I did terribly on the Taco Bell one.

That was my fault. And you had a 50-50 shot. You're the news guy. I know, but I have a short-term memory sometimes. All right, first one. Audio replies. Wait, what was the question? Is it real or is it fake?

Oh. Yeah. In what? YouTube? Oh. Okay. Yes. Are these real or fake?

Real or fake old YouTube features? I didn't even do that as a joke But you may have forgotten Alright flip them and read What do we got If I don't get 100 on this category David what did you say I put real Definitely fake

Oh sorry There were video replies though I remember that There were video replies that was the example I put real. Andrew? I put real. Marquez? Definitely fake. Oh, sorry. Correct. Thank you. You're right. There were video replies, though. I remember that. There were video replies. That was the example. My barometer is 100%.

For what? Jesus Christ. For this category. What is wrong with me? All right. Next question. We all know about YouTube subscribers, but did you know that at one point you could also have friends?

No. True or real? Did did I know I mean faker faker real YouTube front wasn't you two friends into subscribers yes gross and the official name was friends friends okay flip them and read what do Okay. Flip them and read. What do we got? Real. Real, but real. Okay, nice.

Correct. Real, real, real. Yeah. Nice. All right. Next question. I put that because I didn't think it was real. You just did the opposite?

Two for two, baby. Come on. Reviewing ads. Limited test that would prompt the user for a review with a minimum 1,000 character limit, and it had no skip button. Real or fake? No skip button. No skip button.

It was a limited test. What was it? It was so that you could review ads in between YouTube videos. See, limited test. Like you left a review for an ad? Yes. Like an ad would play play and then it would pop up a little made it to an official feature for sure i cannot be sure about a limited test that didn't make it too official unskippable unskippable

this music is awesome epidemic sound baby that's just my stomach for lunch flip them and read what do we got oh i said real you said real yeah i said real as well nope i said fake correct that idea came to us from soren iverson on threads it sounded real until I heard unskippable ads. Unskippable. I'm not counting that one against me because it never made it to being a real feature. I know what real features existed. If it was a little test that happened but didn't make it to a real feature, I don't know anything about that. Okay, so then here's one for you.

Okay. Uh-oh. A YouTube picture-in-picture feature that allowed users to have up to three videos playing at once on an Android phone. Real or fake? Already got my answer. 2024 or prior? David's still writing. David's still writing.

David, you're done? Oh, I wrote. All right. Flip them and read. What do we got? Real. Real? Nope.

Absolutely not. I can find the headline for this. It was got? Real. Real? Nope. Absolutely not. I can find the headline for this. It was fake? That was fake. Correct. No way. The dead giveaway was that it was on Android. There's a Google TV feature that lets you watch multiple streams.

Three videos? That was the giveaway, that it was three videos. But it's a Google TV feature. On YouTube TV, you can stream four different channels at once. Yeah. But this is a YouTube feature of streaming three videos at once. That did not exist. And picture-in-picture, which makes notes.

Picture-in-picture is a thing. Yeah. But that's two. It's been a thing for a while. That's actually one video and scrolling, so it's not even two videos. It's one video in picture. Pip? On YouTube.

Mm-hmm. In regular picture-in-picture on a TV, it has two channels. Yeah. One as a small one. So I could play my Wii on the corner while my dad watched the evening news too real nice all right so if you want to leave a bolded comment on youtube you need to put your comment in between asterisk but did you know that back in 2014 youtube briefly tested text formatting in comments which included underlining bolding and italy tested is like briefly tested

briefly tested briefly i bet a user saw it that counts i love how many like current social media things later like brand new innovation formatting dude no it's true love that. I'll format for days. I mean, on Twitter, if it's formatted, I ain't reading that. Wow. Well, that's true because you have it. Yeah. It's probably a whole press release. Flip them and read. What do we got?

How does it score this episode? You all said real. In different ways. You're all wrong. Yeah, briefly tested. That was made up. Briefly tested. You're all wrong. Yeah, briefly tested. That was made up. Briefly tested. They would briefly test anything.

I would have assumed that would have been real, and then it was so messy that they would have gotten rid of it. They might have tested it, but we never heard about it. All right, next. YouTube fits. In 2020, a section of the YouTube app on Roku TVs that auto-categorized home workouts from famous fitness YouTubers. Yeah, that's sick.

Wait, Roku only? Roku TVs only, yes. The YouTube app on Roku TVs. Can you do that? I have it here. Is it real or is it fake? I'm so anxious. Was it a separate app in a Roku? No, it was in the youtube app but only for only for roku

it was like a special deal flip them and read what do we got real no shot you said real and yeah the ones i started asking more questions i like, there's no chance this would work. Fake news. Yeah, whatever. All right. Subscription collections. Basically folders for your YouTube subscriptions where you can group channels by content. Real or fake? Why would you need that?

What do you mean? You can have like all of your tech YouTubers in one folder. That's a great idea yeah like a like a fee i mean a fiat it is a good idea because it's real like a starter pack like a blue sky starter pack no that would be such a good idea it is a or is a good idea well it's not anymore because it's not something that's around now right you don't know that oh i was gonna say that's how you know it's fake there's no way it's not anymore because it's not something that's around now, right? You don't know that oh I was gonna say that's how you know, it's fake No way it's fake. Yeah, we all wrote fake. We all they all got it right one point for everyone too good

Yeah, it must suck when the joke question. I'm sorry to to burst your bubble, but that was real What do you mean was that was real subscription collections was real it was real That was a real feature that YouTube used to have. Really? A feature I've never heard of. And then they got rid of it. When was that feature? I have it linked. Let me see. I found a video explaining it from...

I just found a video explaining it from nine years ago. Are you sure this isn't fake? Are you getting April Fool's right now? There's no way Roku would let you YouTube a red look. I know. I'm still thinking about it. YouTube subscription It was discontinued

on May 26th, 2015. There are now multiple extensions that you can use to recreate this feature. Did it come into existence on April 1st, 2015, by any chance? It's a great feature. I can't believe I've never heard of this. I'm really surprised I've never heard of this feature.

And it's real. It's never heard of it. I would enable that feature immediately. I'm watching this video from March 1st, 2015, and this guy has a tutorial explaining it. So that's a month before April 1st, 2015. I I live on YouTube I can't believe I've never heard of this me neither when I saw it I was like there's no way and I googled so much because I was like this is such a great idea and they got right there's no one

used it probably Wow maybe cuz no one knew about it I'm gonna go dive into seeing if I can recreate that that's amazing google's like okay fixed this huge problem but told no why is nobody using it we gotta deprecate that huh okay bravo one more yeah every video has a comment section really we know this unless you turn them off that's fair fair. But it's there. You just turned them off. But did you know there used to be a comment section for the channel? Oh, God. True or false? Everyone's just bumping into the music.

This is very, like, team deathmatch loading screen yeah yeah yeah overwatch remaster mom give me a red bull flip him and read what do you got real real real real we're all right it's real correct it was called discussions gross it was also called channel comments previously i it was literally called channel comments yeah so back in the day i used to have emails turned on for everything. Every time someone added me as a friend, every time someone messaged me, because yes, there were messages, every time someone

subscribed, and for every channel comment, and every video comment, and every time someone subscribed, I clicked on the link in the email to go to their channel, and I left a thank you message on a channel comment. And not only was that kind of a nice gesture,

but then people would see a channel comment on a channel that says thanks for subscribing, and they'd go, oh, a channel to subscribe to, and they'd check out my channel. It had a network effect. A network effect of kind marketing and thanking people all the time. You've been 10xing since before it was a thing. I was deep into channel comments.

That sounds so similar to Twitch of thanking people for donations and then people watching it realize that donations are coming in and they're getting thanked and then... This next round is called... Did they really just say that?

Tech executives... No, this is a buzzer round. So, tech executives say some is a buzz around so tech executives say some pretty interesting stuff sometimes we're gonna read you a quote we're gonna tell you what year it was said and you need to tell us who said it if the tech executive is not a household name

I will let you know ahead of time and all you have to do is tell me the company that this executive is an executive at c-suite only but unless I specifically say that, I am looking for the name of the exact human being who said the quote. The example quote I have is from IBM chairman Thomas Watson. This quote was said in 1943, and he said, I think there is a world market for maybe five computers.

That's amazing. He, he was spot on. Was that the same guy behind a Watson supercomputer? Yeah. All right, guys, let's get into it. Our first quote is from 2004. 2004. The quote is, Two years from now, spam will be solved.

Marquez. Yep. That sounds like a Bill Gates-ism. That is, in fact, Bill Gates right out the gate. He's hot, folks. Right out the gate. He's hot, folks. Right out the gates. Well played. All right, next quote.

Try to get from Pasadena to El Segundo during rush hour. You could fly to... Elon Musk. Wow. Yeah. Real Musk fan in the room right now. Let's not go there. I rescind my point.

You didn't give us the year. You didn't give us the year. You didn't give us the year. I didn't even get there. Wow. All right, if this continues to move at this pace, we will open it up to a whiteboard round

because I did not expect you guys to do this well. I mean, fast buzzers is a good pace. Slow buzzers is a bad pace. That's true. Next quote. This is from 2003 or 2004.

I found conflicting results because this is from a leaked DM, but it is confirmed to be real. I just don't know if it was from 2003 or 2004. I found conflicting results because this is from a leaked DM, but it is confirmed to be real. I just don't know if it was from 2003 or 2004. Yeah, so if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4,000 emails, pictures, social security numbers.

People just submitted it. I don't know why. Dumb f***s. Oh my god. Mark Zuckerberg. That was Mark Zuckerberg.uckerberg crazy mark zuckerberg did in fact call the entire original unibase of facebook dumb f**ks wow that was social security numbers next question oh my lord there is no chance the iphone is going to get any significant market share this is from 2007. That's a whole quote. Balmer was saying that because the price is too high.

That is Steve Balmer. That was the whole quote. Correct. That was the whole quote. I mean, maybe he said more. That was what I took out of context. He said, developers, developers. That's later. Sweats more.

This next quote is also from 2024. I think this will be the biggest product ever of any kind because I think everyone of the 8 billion people on Earth will want one, maybe two, provided we address the risk of digital superintelligence. 80% probability. Yeah, keep going.

80% probability of good. Look on the bright side. The cup is 80% full. That was also Elon a couple weeks ago. That was Elon a couple weeks ago that was elon a couple weeks ago the end is gonna be i was so close yeah can you can we do it and we have to wait till the end and you can still say the whole thing out sure so my only yes yeah it's like the competitive aspect of it is like oh then we're all right because if you get it wrong you can't okay well i knew that from the beginning here's another one that I am not looking for the exact name.

I'm just looking for what company they work at. Building things is way more fun than making things secure and safe. Until there's a regulatory or a press fire, you don't deal with it. I mean, that sounds like something Zuck would say again.

It's not Zuck, but it is a meta-executive that was former VP of Facebook, Brian Boland. Congrats on your point. Oh, he didn't... Wait. Oh. Because he just wanted the company. Here's one where I am looking for the person.

Okay. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about. That's from 2010 sergey brin uh sergey it's not how should we get more hey let them delineate well if it's a deliberate person i don't think so i'm sorry david it wasn't sergey i'm i'm guessing sundar said that yeah it was not soon this is 2010 so i don't think

sundar was the uh he was ahead of android back then is 2010, so I don't think Sundar was the... He was the head of Android back then. No, he wasn't. Never mind. I'm not going to be able to buzz, so I have no idea. He did Chrome. It was Sergey's co-founder. Who was?

Oh. I have no idea. Why am I blanking? I know this. He stands next to him wearing Google Glass. I just need to see his face. His name is Eric Schmidt. Eric Schmidt.

That's right. I said it as the guy. All right, we have a few more of these. Should we keep going? That's fair enough. Yeah. This next quote is from 2008. 2008.

It doesn't matter how good or bad the Kindle is. The fact is that people don't read anymore. The whole conception is flawed at the top that people don't read anymore. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore. David. Hold on. There's a timer for a reason. I'm going to say Steve Jobs.

That was Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs did not make people read. Hilarious. Dang. The Kindle came out. I was just going to say Bezos because we were talking about. Yeah, but he'sious. Dang. The Kindle came out? I was just going to say Bezos because we were talking about... Yeah, but he's the one that makes the Kindle. Yeah, I know, but that doesn't mean... I don't know.

He was probably on stage talking about how his iBooks are going to take over the world. Or audiobooks. Yeah. Or podcasts. All right, guys. Let's do two more of these and then I think we'll do a little surprise. Oh, guys. Let's do two more of these, and then I think we'll do a little surprise. This quote is from 2015.

2015. That is nine years ago. Jesus. Self-driving cars are going to get here much faster than people think. Three or four years, maybe. Not Elon Musk, but this quote was said to Elon Musk at a Musk but this quote was said to

Elon Musk at a Vanity Fair forum by who that's what I'm asking another CEO at a Vanity Fair another CEO

I cannot disclose that information he was an executive C-suite yeah C-sweet executive where

David that was close that almost got you. Sam Altman. That was Sam Altman. Way to go, David. Yes, Sam Altman and Elon Musk on stage. All right, let's do one more.

This is another. I'm looking for the company, not the executive. The company. The company. Not the executive. The company, not the executive. And if I'm correct, this person said this quote in 2016 after they had left this company, but they were speaking about their time at this company.

A lot of folks wanted us to shut it down. And most other companies would have done precisely that. Especially if 10% of their users threatened to boycott the product but we didn't it was actually working amidst all the chaos all the outrage we noticed something unusual even though everyone claimed they hated it engagement had doubled oh my god um jack dorsey not jack dorsey i'm sorry Dorsey. I'm sorry. Oh, yeah, but I'm looking for the company.

Oh, the company, sorry. But it's not Twitter. What year is this again? 2015. This was said in 2016, but it was referencing a product that was launched 2010, 2011-ish. Oh, that changed what I was going to say. I said YouTube.

Not YouTube. Andrew. Vine? Sorry. David. Facebook. Facebook. That was also in reference to the news feed wow wow i can't believe they just said that out loud she posted that on facebook in writing she wrote that the news feed is like the first algorithmic feed to take all the heat. And then it worked so well that all the others kind of went,

oh, us too. All right, before we go to commercial break, we wanted to make this episode kind of extra interesting. So we lined up a few surprises. The first surprise is about to join us right now. Trivia extraordinaire, Mariah Zank. I knew it. Whoa. I knew something was happening.

We're all so scared right now. I'm really terrified. I felt the energy shift in this room. Our shoulders just rolled back. Don't be scared. It's fine. Everything's fine. Okay.

Setting up straighter. Zuckerberg. Zuckerberg said that. This is a tech podcast, right? Sort of. Well, okay. So I have a couple questions for you. You might be good at tech, but how well do you know the studio?

Okay. So I have a couple questions for you. Do you want me to do? Are these buzzers? These are buzzer questions. Okay. All right. So Ellis and Adam have been tag teaming, producing the podcast for almost three years, and they're

critical to the pod going out on time and making sure that you guys look and sound good. So with that in mind. It's not about looking good. Well mind well i do all that work someone's got to do it and so what was the podcast episode number that ellis first worked on when he started here David 121 Incorrect Wait there's so many options Whoever's the closest Oh okay Andrew 164

I don't know if it was even over 100 Um I shouldn't say that out loud Marquez Well 100 but I think it's lower But I'm using that as my Price is Right guess. These are not Price is Right rules.

Yeah, it's just Delta. So I guess under David's guess. So just the closest one. I don't think it's under 100. So actually, David was the closest, I think. It was episode 116 is when he started. Epic. What did you guess? You were really close.

121. Wow, that's actually pretty good. You're pretty good. Dang. He knows me. Wow. That's right. Well done.

So that's a little taste of what's come. So our next question is, Mark has did a video saying yes to everything in his inbox, and we've had a red casket sitting in our office for almost two years exactly to when this podcast episode will air. Wow. Which is crazy. Zuri has thoughts on this as well. So my question for you is, what is the MSRP for the Titan Orion series casket?

This is also closest? $500. Andrew. Oh, $1,200. Marquez. $1,2011 it's over all of them it's like 15.99 or something i think so technically marquez is the closest uh i don't know if it went up in price over years but when i checked the other day it was 1500 to steal i thought it was it's a great price way cheaper 500 is extremely cheap. Dude, just bury me in the ground.

Why do I even need a thing to be in? They have a cardboard one you can do. Yeah. So my next question for you is probably my favorite question. The studio has a beloved five-star restaurant inside of our office building that Marques and Rich just can't get enough of. My question for you is, how much does the chicken euro bowl cost

at the bistro? $10. Andrew. Well, okay. Is it on the menu or will you get charged? If I pay with card, I believe it's $11, and I think he adds an extra dollar in for the card. Well, I get a $12.

These are the final guesses? Yeah. Andrew, you're spot on. I have a picture of the menu from God Knows When and it says $11. Yeah, but they usually just charge me a random number.

I think they close their eyes and they just pick something. Also, I'm pretty sure I paid $12 for that. By the time this episode is out, the B-Show will be no more. In memory. Which is very sad.

This is true. Salute to the B-Show. Friday the last day. This week is. Pour one out for the B-Show. And this comes out next week also. Wow. All right, guys.

Thank you, Mariah, for joining us, providing us some excellent questions. I'm sure she'll be back for future trivia. But in the meantime, we're going to take it to commercial break. After this break, we're going to be back with our audio round.

A few more questions here and there. A few more surprises. And then we'll find out who is the ultimate trivia victor. We'll be right back. Support for the show today comes from NetSuite. Anxious about where the economy is headed?

Welcome back to Trivia Extravaganza! Wow. I'm your host, Alice, and I'm here with my co-host, Adam, and our scorekeeper, Eric, and we're ready to deliver you the final round of trivia. But first, an update on our score. Yes, please. Triple points. I feel like it's probably pretty close. I've been dwindling my lead away. Yes, please. Triple points. I feel like it's probably pretty

close. I've been dwindling my lead away. I'm behind. I'm definitely behind. Gentlemen, this has been quite interesting. David started off a little weak, but he's got the sauce. Alright. David has 15 points so far

for this game. Okay. Andrew, struggling a bit. Struggling a bit. We're only on 12. 12? Okay. I'm 12. Marquez has 19 points. What? You guys gave him

the YouTube round. Yeah, the YouTube one I don't think Marquez got. He only got maybe one or two. He got one wrong. Yeah. Do like a panoramic trivia. Aspect ratio. All right. 14 by eight.

Guys, it's time to get to our fan favorite. Oh yeah. The audio round. Oh yeah, brother. I love this. Is this audio or not audio? I like... True.

Dude, I like... It's all the way for him. I ran out of time when I was building this show, but I wanted so hard to build an intro that had the... Was it Verizon? That's like, can you hear me now? Because it's the audio round. Oh, yeah.

Clever, clever, clever. All right. So, guys, as you know, this is our third or fourth audio round. I'm running out of sounds. I'm like seriously running out. So for this one, I'm not looking for devices. I'm looking for like the brand, the IP.

So don't say like this is the Nokia 710. Be like, this is Nokia. Don't say this is the BlackBerry Priv. Yeah, I just want like the most generic, broad thing that you can describe. This is audio. So, first sound. Are you ready, guys? Yep.

Goodbye. Oh. This really isn't buzzer? No. Dang. You guys saw me writing,'t you you were pretty fast really fast they saw my thing all right oh flip i didn't write i didn't see what you wrote okay all three of you put the same thing aol oh that is correct also the actor who said that just died

just passed away this year or prior year like a few days this year it was this ago. This year. It was this year. R.I.P. All of us just got that right. AOL sounds and AM sounds are just stuck in my head. I know. They were... Yeah, we could talk about this for a long time. It's a game. All right, next one. Yeah.

What do we got oh windows windows is correct that is the famed windows xp error sound windows xp error sound the xp only x uh maybe it's future ones but i know it is the xp error sound um again have not used windows since xp uh, that's not true. I did own a Windows 8 computer, which might explain why I hate it so much. Anyway, next sound. What do we got? That's more than one thing, but I'm going to go with what it's supposed to be yes all three correct iphone keyboard that is the iphone keyboard wow you guys are incredibly

close to the rivian blinker sound really that's so funny except the volume's 10 times lower on the rivian so i'm pretty sure that the way they made that sound is they dropped ping pong balls on a table and then used a really intense compressor to make it. Anyway, we're only getting harder from here, folks. We're out of the... We're in the jungle.

We've all gotten all of them right so far. Well, let's see if that changes with this one. That sounds like the beginning of a song. Can I say something? Yes, you can say something. Whoever was leaving the test thing yesterday said something out loud,

and I think I have... Oh. Who was it? Out them. Who was it? Thanks for owning it. Who said it? I don't want to out anybody.

Say it. Who said it? You guys were all talking to each other, so I'm going to choose you people it i think it was harper harper okay we can skip this one no this is my favorite one i can't believe this one got ruined i'll sit this one out and be okay with but you're the only one but he heard it i had this one i'm gonna be really mad if really yeah you're the one that i think andrew's gonna know this sound. Maybe, okay, flip it. I might be thinking of the wrong thing.

What the heck? I think that's what I'm thinking of, and I think I'll only remember it because of it. Marques, what did you put? I want you to pull this up, because this is not what you are thinking of. What does that say? But if you pull up that song by Nelly, It's the heart of a champion. If you pull up that song by nelly it's the heart of a champion

just play the first one second of heart of a champion we won't be able to put this in the episode for copyright reasons but you will get my reaction wow that is so funny oh my god okay how did you get that it's the one wait wait hold on i think we can i think we'll be able to put that in the episode i think it's oh but let's just play them back to back so here is the my sound and here is the nelly song how how many times have you listened to nelly's sweat album i know no no no it was in the the florida like 2010 national championship ultimate frisbee highlight florida that's what he's talking about yeah like carlton in minnesota yeah oh well the one harper went to yeah college

for the person who ruined this question god uh, ****. David, what did you put? I put Thriller by Michael Jackson. That is incorrect. Andrew, please guess. Was it Trivia HQ? No. Oh, that's what I heard people talking about. No, no, there are no Trivia HQ sounds.

Okay, good. Then no one ruined anything. Guys, that is the sound that plays when you land a sick trick in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. You're right. That's cool. Okay, cool. Actually, it's the sound from Nelly. Yeah.

Sampled by none other than. That is so funny. No, realistically, so that, like most keyboards have a preset called orchestral hit and they'll sound slightly different brand to brand, but those are both the orchestral hit presets. Can you play Thriller? That one I'm not gonna play.

Next sound. Ready, boys. That was a long sound. Wow. Don't know that one. I'm guessing you have to be specific with it too. Yeah, and generic. Even generically, I don't know this one. I guessed, but sounded like a certain type of sound.

Did. David looks confident. You know this one? I'm not confident. No. I'm taking a wild guess. Blackberry. I wrote Xbox.

Oh, wow. The OG one, though? The OG one. That is the OG Xbox sound. Because I wrote Atari. Well, I'm assuming it was that long because that's how long it took those guys to load. Yeah, but he said this is long, and those yeah when i was like well you know all right the ps2 is like the ps2 the ps2 is the best one yeah ps2 one is amazing i never own any i'm just i'm just gonna play it because i i just think it's so great the place gives me it gives me tingles in

the back i would have guessed guessed Sega if I heard this. We've done this one on a previous audio round. The whoosh. It's so good. Every time I booted that thing up, I was like, I'm about to have fun. I think it... Crash Bandicoot. Oh my gosh.

The PS3 one is also... And then the disc gets messed up. Error. All right. Next sound. Oh. Got that timpani in the background. That's pretty, that's crazy.

It's really cut off. Um. Eh. Eh. It's really cut off. One more. One more hit. One more hit. No, I have no idea. They really stopped that timpani too early. I have no clue.

Oh, that's interesting because I was thinking, okay. I put AIM, AIM message. I put AT&T. I started writing T-Mobile and then I crossed out and wrote Sprint. No, unfortunately, that is the MSN Messenger. Oh, I almost put Microsoft Messenger. MSN Messenger. Wait, is AIM not made by Microsoft?

No, AIM is made by AOL. AOL is the messenger. I never had AIM. Really? Yeah, yeah. All right, Messenger. I never had AIM. Really? Yeah, yeah. All right, we got three, four more sounds. You guys ready? Yeah.

Next one. We've all gotten these all wrong, except the Xbox one. Yeah. Wow. I didn't mean to make this this hard. Although this one, I can say with confidence, none of you are going to get it. Can you play music? Can you play music?

This is a sound from my childhood that is just burned into my brain. One more time. What do you consider your childhood? I'm thinking of something, but I feel like it's way newer than your childhood. I am 12. Oh. It was a... Oh. I finally remember the name.

David, what does that say? Game Gear. What is Game Gear? I guess I got it wrong. What is that? It's a handheld. Oh. Yeah.

I never had it. I wrote Club Penguin. That's just your childhood. That is my childhood. I wrote a flip camera. No, but I did own that product. That was my first tech product, actually. A lot of people said it was a really good product.

Did you guys watch the documentary about flip cams recently? Oh, no. Was it like a YouTube documentary? Yeah. I think I did, yeah. He was the guy that ended up starting... Please be a good thing. Please be a good thing.

Food chain. Melt. Oh, that's not bad. The the restaurant melt oh flip was killer those things are awesome those things were awesome okay that was the startup the sound that went along with the startup animation for virgin mobile phones running android it's not boost mobile yeah that was before it was virgin was acquired by boost mobile r.i.p virgin mobile you did everything for me and i loved you for it and you also got me teased a lot next sound that's what they call me

oh i know this why am i I not? Oh, no. Right? One more time. And I'm not even the kind of guy that should know this. I think I got it, but I don't know. I can't tell. David. David is not the kind of guy that should know this.

Thank you, Alice. Yeah, because it's a sports. Oh, no. Sports? It's the 76ers. This is really funny, because when we added this one, Adam literally said to me, yeah, Marquez is definitely going to get this. Andrew's a maybe.

David's not going to get this. Oh, then I'm definitely wrong. It's the opposite right now. Okay, I'm definitely wrong, then. Flip him and read. Sports Center. That is correct, David. Oh, my goodness. Sports Center. That is correct, David. Oh my goodness.

Terrific. That was the Sports Center jingle from 95 to 07. What did you put, Marques? Oh, I wrote ESPN. Is that it? No, that's ESPN Sports Center. But I put the exact thing. That's impressive.

And we're very proud of you. Really? I feel like you just guessed. No, come on. No, that's so good. So, david how do you know you don't watch sports i don't even know what sports center is so how did you know that i hear that sound and it's just burned into my brain that's incredible that is that's good branding yeah so if you if you wrote the sports center sound just know it is so effective someone who can someone who two

weeks ago did not know the difference between baseball and basketball knows what SportsCenter is. What are you talking about? The World Series. You thought the World Series was a basketball thing. Yeah. No, I didn't. Yes, you did.

I think he just confused it. There's a 4K camera pointed at you as you guessed that one. I was probably joking. All right, next one. Anyway, I'm a dumbass. Oh, do it again oh my god that's amazing isn't it amazing it's a great sound maybe you do I'm gonna try wait what had you written for the last one Intel I wouldn't even address that I'm sorry now what is the Intel one

it's um we've done it before yeah oh god that one is so good I'm probably wrong what do we got guys these boards no I think it's a Wii. A Wii sound.

You're close, but you're wrong. I wrote Palm Pilot. Nope. PSP. Is it a Nintendo product? Wii U. The GameCube. I got too specific. When you don't put a disc in and it opens on the cube and all the

console settings are on that cube, when you rotate from one of the sides back to the center, that sound plays. Do it again. Wow. I know. I'm more used to it. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do.

Hey! That's the boot. If you held a specific button, the kids laughed. It was kind of weird. Oh, I remember. Okay, guys, this is our last sound before we move on to our final category. And I just want to say, if you get this one right, you win the game.

You are both a complete degenerate and a winner. You're like me. Because I would be able to recognize this sound literally anywhere. Zune HD. Those beeps are being played in an exact melody. It is not random beeps. Those are very precise, exact beeps. David, do you have an answer? I see your co-hosts both have answers. Yeah. All right.

I didn't write it yet, though. I have it, though. Please do. Okay. What is it called, the thing? Sorry. I know what I'm trying to... I can see it in my head I'm sorry Dave I'm gonna give you a shorter timer

okay okay can I draw it oh I can wait I remember what it's called walkie talkie walkie talkie okay that's your answer yeah it's wrong marquez fast food checkout sound uh not i know i said it is broad but that is a little incorrect and too broad mcdonald's that is the mcdonald's french fry deep fryer yes if you eat as much mcdonald's as andrew and i you know that sound deep fryer that is the sound that the fry the deep fryers make no wonder funny is i've heard that sound in mcdon McDonald's a lot of times, and I just assumed it was something else. I did not know what it was, but that was McDonald's.

It's the deep fryer. I thought that was sound from an emergency room, and that kind of makes sense. No, it's funny. Wow. Totally fair. Everyone I played that to either goes, I've never heard this in my life,

or they go, McDonald's. Anyway, that's it for our audio round we have one more little set of questions and i'm going to pass it off to my co-host next segment this one is just all science questions science could go either way okay i can all right all right okay first question which organ is responsible for producing enzymes For digestion and insulin Please write on your whiteboards For digestion And insulin Oh enzymes

Producing enzymes Yes producing enzymes Andrew's done David is done Marques is still thinking Producing enzymes. Andrew is done. David is done. Marques is still thinking. Producing enzymes for digestion and insulin? Yes. It also produces insulin?

Yes. Quick, quick, quick. I wrote something. Flip them and read. What do you got? I wrote pancreas. Correct. I also wrote pancreas.

Correct. David? I wrote liver. Correct. I also wrote pancreas. Correct. David. I wrote liver. Wrong. So this is a little embarrassing. All right. We were so sure. We were so 100% sure that one of you guys was going to put kidneys that we actually

talked to Dr. Mike, who sent in a video of him explaining why it's not kidneys. I'm going to play that for you now. It's actually not kidneys. It is the pancreas. More specifically, if we zoom in, it's the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin. And what's interesting is if you have type 2 diabetes or develop type 2 diabetes, it happens usually through two mechanisms. Mechanism one is insulin resistance, where you have so much insulin, your body doesn't act as reactive as it usually does to it.

And the second mechanism is through beta cell burnout or beta cell dysfunction, where those beta cells aren't making enough insulin thank you that's what i would have written that's why i wrote pancreas mike that's why i wrote pancreas thank you to dr mike i actually wrote the script for that for him but i just wanted to make it seem like you guys didn't know well he'll be proud of us but yeah i guess he will be proud of us i feel so silly we were we were so sure that we anyway thank you dr mike for participating uh if you guys yeah dr mike is one of our favorite places on the internet to get evidence-based health information

and so go check out his channel i'm glad and we know you like dr mike because did you guys know that dr mike's interview episode is the fifth highest performing episode of waveform of all time slowly just been crawling crazy so again thanks doctor how many views we love you a lot next question we all know that water boils at 100 degrees celsius that's right at what temperature does it boil in fahrenheit oh yeah you got it farren low i know a whole bunch of fahrenheit numbers farren width i know a bunch of fahrenheit numbers one two Fahrenheit 451 is titled that because that's the temperature that fire burns paper I did not know that did they set fire to a bunch of books and it's flippin and read what do we got oh wait

why don't you go first? You just flipped it around and then quickly flipped it back to hide your answer. What did you put? A very specific set of skills. I didn't go to medical school. Medical school. Look. I don't have to say this out loud.

I put 174. Wrong. Oh, my4 Wrong I'm sorry Andrew, Marquez, what did you guys put? We wrote 212 I grew up in the forest All you had to do was strike rocks together David, no one's going to be mad at you for getting Fahrenheit wrong I can promise you that

I don't know Fahrenheit, no one cares about it 212, I remember Yeah, that makes sense How many moons does Jupiter have? Oh yeah Fahrenheit no one cares about 212 I remember yeah that makes sense how many moons does Jupiter have oh yeah where's my super super suit this one I'm gonna do prices right rules closest without going over just switch things up a little better because I don't think he's as confident.

When are we doing the seven points at once round? We could make this one worth seven points right now. Not this one. Flip him and read. What do we got? Oh god, I hope I'm not over. Actually, I might be in a good spot. 40? I think it's over 40. I put seven. Wrong.

I put 12. Am I over though? Wrong. I put 7. Wrong. I put 12. Am I over, though? Wrong. I put 40. Wrong, but closest. The correct answer is 95. 95? Oh, I was way off. Are you sure those aren't just rocks?

I mean, seriously. I mean, you're not wrong. These are all still technically very debated, the term of moon, but this is the most recent one that the international astronomical union has agreed on 95 moons did any of you guys get the video of like i took every galaxy and filled a swimming pool with it i i got it from you it's really it's this crazy animated video where this guy basically like to show how many galaxies there are in the universe makes each galaxy the size of like a piece of cereal then stands in a pool and lets the

cereal fall onto him to represent it i don't want to spoil anything but go watch it it's really yeah it's pretty cool i forgot what did he do with all the cereal after it's animated oh so he just probably put it in the trash can and emptied it okay or he uploaded it to YouTube. I would hope he did that first. Friend of the pod, Mark Rober, famously worked at JPL and helped work on what rover

that is currently hanging out on Mars? The Mark Rover. Wait, Mark Rober worked on the Mars Rover? One of them, yes. The JPL got the rover. Wait, Mark Rover worked on the Mars Rover? One of them, yes. The JPL got the rover. Wait, Mark Rover worked on the Mars Rover? Also, I was just going to put Mars.

So I don't know that they had names. The rovers? Yeah, they have names. Fun names. Yeah, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. And the fifth fetal. Floatman Reed Reed what do you got

curiosity god damn it I wrote Red Rover it was in fact curiosity so David and Marquez get the point who cares Google does that for me David and Marquez both said curiosity

you both get the point but did you know that there are six main elements that make up the building blocks of life they are carbon hydrogen nitrogen phosphorus sulfur and what say it again carbon hydrogen nitrogen phosphorus sulfur and what other element make up the six main building blocks of life? David is staring deeply into Ellis's eyes. Because there's two options I'm thinking about. My left eye and my right eye. I'm just going to stick with it. Flip them and read.

What do you got? I knew it. I hope that's not right. I put oxygen. Oh, my God. Andrew, what did you put? I put McDonald's. No.

I also put oxygen. All right. I just want to say I'm with Andrew on this one. Do you know, like, in Quiplash, you can get the audience, like, funny points? That's what I was going for on this one. Do you know like in Quiplash you can get the audience like funny points? That's what I was going for on that one. Nice. This one, I'll make it worth 200 points. Just cause.

Instawind? Two points. DNA is made of compounds called nucleotides which are commonly referred to by one letter. There are four different nucleotides that make up DNA on Earth. What letters do we use to represent them? Let's make this...

Hey, wait. Let's make this one four points, one per letter. Ooh, I like that. Wait, like, the string of, like, we coded DNA. Yes. Okay. Oh, God. Oh, what is the... The four letters? The four letters.

So we can just guess four letters. Yeah, but there's a... That does give you like a one in 6.2 or three chance. It's better than what I have if I have to just name them. McDonald's. Dang it. I'm mad. I don't know it.

Chris. Marquez. I wrote C-R-I-S Marquez that gives you one point C is one of the letters I wrote R-D-A-M You also get one point A is one of those letters I wrote N-H-R-A

You get one letter. That's A again. You know what the NHRA is? No. Then I won't even say it. What is it? Oh, the National Hot Rod Association. Yeah, it totally is. Yeah, totally. Cool. Yeah, in my blood.

Incredible. Okay. The other three were GT and C. Have you ever need to remember this in the future or you can remember gta 100 when they eventually get to uh like gtac grant that thought i 100 yeah may i read the next one i haven't been in school in a long time no you're taking that you're taking those online courses right now. Yeah, about light metering. Yeah. Precision light metering. That's what the next category is about. Yeah.

The correct application of a spot meter versus a more traditional light meter. I'm just kidding, David. I'm sorry. Wait, he's going to come on. 100 points. The Drake equation has to do with A, the amount of light that hits the eye when it goes through a prism

B. An equation used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy C. The number of transistors that can theoretically be put on a 1 by 1 inch wafer of silicon or d a mathematical formula capable of calculating in milliseconds exactly when that hotline bling what oh nice that's funny um i would have put d if you didn't say that Andrew, you're looking a little stressed over there. What is A again? The amount of light that hits the eye when it goes through a prism. Marques?

I put C. That is incorrect. I'm sorry. That is also incorrect. I put B that is incorrect I'm sorry I also put C that is also incorrect I put B that is correct the Drake equation is about aliens

scientific god over here that's cool you guys ready for the last question yeah how many is this worth how many do you want it to be worth 200 let's

how about you guys I think we're pretty close so I think you guys decide amongst you how much you want it to be without knowing the scores without knowing the scores much you want it to be. Without knowing the scores? Without knowing the scores. You want this to be worth 10 points.

I think three could literally swing it. Yeah, easily. I think it could. Three swing it. I'm not going to answer that. I think three is. In my favor. Negative five.

We don't know the topic. This isn't like Final Jeopardy. We know the topic. It's science. Oh, it's still science? It's still science. Oh, man. All right.

Yeah. I think three is a good line. I don't want it to be three, but we can do it. We know the topic. It's science. Oh, it's still science? It's still science. Oh, man. All right. Yeah. Three points. I think three is a good line. I don't want it to be three, but we can do it. I'll do three. Wait, can I still, can I win if I get it? I can't tell you that answer. I'm just going to pre-write for McDonald's.

Next question. Oh, man. The boiling point of oxygen is negative 183 degrees Celsius. What happens to it below that temperature? What happens to oxygen below negative 183 degrees Celsius? This is three points. Three points. I feel like it's too easy to be three points but let's see what you don't like how we run our game no i like it now

wait oh that was about i guess we should all probably change this flip it and read what do you got david what i don't know what you wrote it boils he said i know i thought about that later what did you put freezes incorrect yeah what happens solid so you think it solid boils i don't know i almost put hard guys guys marquez what's the answer Okay, let's say it's water. Let's say it's water. Underneath the boiling point of water, what is it? Liquid. Yeah, it's liquid. Correct. Three points to oxygen.

Literally get up. Oh my god. To oxygen. Three points to Marquez. If you'd give me five more seconds, I would've gotten there. Alright guys, it's time to turn it over to Eric. I want to know what temperature oxygen is. All right, guys, it's time to turn it over to Eric. I want to know what temperature oxygen is.

We're going to turn it over to Eric, and he is going to read. Hard. All right, we're going to turn it over to Eric, and he's going to let you guys know your final scores. No, come on. What? Come on, what? We need more questions.

Mark, how did this one? I think we proved, David, we are at the end of our question answering ability. I got so nervous. I don't know, I was just thinking about it being oxygen, not it being anything. I could not imagine what oxygen would be like if it wasn't hard. The fact that you called it boiling confused me in the first place. Okay. All right.

I have to say, one of you, your final score was only three points away from the winner. Three points could have decided this. That was Andrew. At 23 points for the round and 48 points total for the season, we have David Amell. Oh, no. At 20 points for the round, so less than David, but 51 points for the full season.

Crap. We have Andrew. New mark has pulled that out at the end. The last question. And at 32 end. The last question. And at 32 points, we have 54 points total for the season for Marquez. Marquez, we have something for you. For the first time in Waveform history,

we would like to present you with the first ever Podman's Cup. That's right. You are now in possession of the Podman's Cup until the next trivia extravaganza, where you will pass it off to the next winner. You may have noticed that the Podman's Cup is slightly styled after the NBA Cup

with a microphone sticking out of it with a beautiful decal that says what on it? Shut up, Ellis! It says, say, shut up, Ellis. That is correct. Contestants, thank you for playing. Marquez, Andrew, David, great game.

Congratulations to our winner, Marquez. We will be back with a normal episode on Friday. Actually, it's not normal. We will be back. That's so right. We will be back with a very not normal episode on Friday. David, would you like to tell them what it is? Back long ago, about three and a half years ago or something

at some point in time. When we were still an audio only episode before you could see how dumb we look. We did a special episode called The Rise and Fall. It was called Boosted to Busted. The Rise and Fall of Boosted Boards. Because it was all audio only, a lot of people have not heard it. One of my favorite episodes.

It's very fun. It has a lot of special guests. And we're going to be playing that on the YouTube channel with some waveforms, you know, to kind of show, you know, so you can look at stuff while you listen to stuff. And it's going to be good. But we're going to, because we're off for Thanksgiving, so eat some turkey, listen to some waveform, and figure out what happened to Boosted Board.

Figure out what happened to Boosted Board. It's a good episode. We're rerunning it for a reason. I think it's one of our best ever, and the fact that it wasn't a video episode is a shame, but you guys should still enjoy it. It's really fun. Just imagine it in your head.

Yeah. That's what listening is for. All right. Well, on that note, thank you for sticking around everybody and see you Friday goodbye peace score update 0-0-0

waveform is produced by Adam Molina, Ellis Roven and thank you to Eric for helping out with this episode we were partnered with Vox Media Podcast Network and Mariah and our interaction music was created by Vain Sill and all that other stuff was

Epidemic Sound that was yeah bingo all the sound provided by Epidemic Sound and Lighting Design by me
