Hello! Dreads

0:17

of centipedes in tweed and in

0:20

need of mead and a good read.

0:22

Welcome to Good Job Brain, your weekly quiz show and

0:24

offbeat trivia podcast. This

0:27

is episode 252 and of course

0:29

I'm your humble host, Karen, and we are

0:31

your old style, old

0:34

squaws and oldsters listening to

0:36

oldish oldies.

0:37

I'm Colin. And I'm

0:39

Chris. I have a surprise

0:41

quiz. We're still going to do Pop Quiz Hot

0:44

Shot. Here's

0:46

how it's going to work. You guys don't have to answer. I'm

0:48

going to ask the question.

0:50

Think about it and answer it in your head. Listeners,

0:53

feel free to do the same. If

0:55

you're in the privacy of your own home, you can shout

0:58

out what you think the answer is. Maybe

1:00

write it down. Maybe if you're at work, you can

1:02

type it out in the notes app. For

1:05

Chris and Colin, just think about it.

1:07

This is what I'm going to call

1:09

the foreign foodie quiz. I

1:12

just have a couple questions. Here we go. Just

1:14

think about the answer.

1:16

What do you call a big buffet

1:19

in Sweden? A

1:21

big display of food. Big buffet in

1:23

Sweden. All right. All right. Think

1:26

about it. Okay. Next

1:28

question. What kind of small, bright

1:31

orange pepper is hotter than a jalapeno?

1:34

So it's not a jalapeno. It's

1:37

a small, bright orange pepper. It's hotter than

1:39

a jalapeno.

1:41

Okay. Next question. How

1:44

do you spell latte as

1:46

in the coffee? How do you spell

1:48

latte? More specifically, do

1:51

you put an accent in latte?

1:55

Next question. What kind of cheese

1:57

is usually grated over pasta?

2:02

What kind of cheese is usually

2:04

grated over pasta? Last

2:07

question. What do you call

2:09

the Latin American half-circle

2:12

pastry that's kind of like a

2:14

turnover and it's usually

2:16

savory? Mm-hmm.

2:19

Had some for dinner tonight in fact. Really?

2:21

Oh. I did. Put some chimichurri

2:24

sauce on it. Okay. Okay. All

2:26

right. All right. Someone in our

2:29

fan group pointed out in a recent episode,

2:31

my bad, I mispronounced Dachshund,

2:35

the wiener dog, the sausage

2:36

dog. I said Dashhound. That's

2:39

just kind of a Karenism. That's just kind of how

2:41

you say it. That's how I learned it, right? I

2:43

overly Americanized it. I

2:45

looked at it. I was like, wow, okay, how would

2:48

an

2:48

American person pronounce this? Dashhound.

2:51

We probably still get people mad

2:53

listening to old episodes where I said Edinburgh

2:55

instead of Edinburgh. Oh, yeah. So,

2:58

you know, that's how it goes. We Americanized things

3:00

here maybe a little too much.

3:01

Yeah. It's like, I know it's Melbourne.

3:05

We say Melbourne. But

3:08

this led to a fascinating

3:11

discovery. I found out

3:13

on the other end of the spectrum, there

3:16

is a phenomenon called hyper-foreignism.

3:19

Oh, sure. Which is when we

3:22

as English speakers, overly

3:25

foreign fi or overly

3:27

embellish foreign loanwords

3:31

in English. Sometimes we

3:33

know we're doing it, but most of the time we actually

3:35

probably might not know that we're doing it.

3:37

So for example, we love

3:40

the superstore target. And

3:42

it's a joke now for a long time that

3:45

we mispronounce it on purpose.

3:47

Tarjay.

3:48

Right, right. It's just a normal

3:50

store, but you're like, ooh, I'm going to Tarjay

3:53

to make it sound fancy because it's not a fancy

3:55

place.

3:56

So we know we're doing that for a commuted

3:58

purpose. But there's so

3:59

foreign loan words that we

4:02

just in our minds overly

4:04

foreign vibe because that's what we think what

4:06

we should do. So let's go back

4:08

to that quiz, the list of questions I asked

4:11

earlier. It just so happens like you

4:13

got like food examples, most people

4:15

know the food examples. So what

4:17

do you call a big food buffet

4:19

in Sweden? All right.

4:22

We're not going to self-correct here Chris. We're going

4:24

to go with the- Oh sure. I mean, I would have

4:26

said- Even knowing that we're setting ourselves

4:28

up to be-

4:28

Yeah, I'm not trying to make fun of anybody

4:31

either. You would say smorgasbord. Smorgasbord,

4:33

yeah. Yeah. So smorgasbord

4:36

versus smorgasbord. Oh,

4:39

I see. I see. So pronouncing the SM

4:41

smorgasbord, but adding a

4:43

SCH or like adding an SH,

4:45

smorgasbord. Small, bright

4:48

orange pepper is hotter than a jalapeno. Habanero.

4:52

Now jalapeno has

4:54

a tilde on the N. It's the N-Yay. Yeah.

4:56

Jalapeno. Habanero

4:59

does not. Because

5:02

we're very familiar with jalapeno.

5:05

So we're like, oh, habanero, it probably

5:07

also has the

5:08

A as well. I'm

5:10

guilty of that. I would have said

5:12

habanero. Yeah. Oh, okay. All

5:14

right.

5:15

Latte. L-A-T-T-E.

5:17

No accent.

5:20

No accent. There's

5:23

an accent in the E if you say latte

5:26

in Italian. Starbucks is frappe

5:29

has an accent on the E,

5:32

but latte itself does not.

5:34

Oh, interesting. This reminds

5:36

me, by the way, of the, I think it was either a TikTok

5:38

or some sort of video of some guy, tourist

5:41

in Italy and goes around to all the coffee shops

5:44

asking for a latte. Can I have a latte? Can

5:46

I have a latte? Can I get a latte?

5:48

Not realizing. And for like three, after

5:50

three days, you realize he's just been drinking

5:52

milk the whole time. He's been drinking

5:54

hot, frothy milk the whole entire time.

5:56

Because that's what he's telling him. He's like, give me milk.

5:59

Oh, no. Not a cafe latte,

6:01

coffee with milk. Yeah, I'm feeling great.

6:04

Real sleepy, but feeling great, though. Otherwise,

6:06

yeah, a little gassy. But aside

6:09

from that. Oh,

6:09

speaking of gas, what kind of cheese is usually

6:12

grated over pasta? Parmesan

6:15

part. Yeah, I mean, you're saying it right. Parmesan.

6:18

Ooh, I said parmesan. It's not

6:20

parmesan. It's not parmesan. Yes.

6:23

You know, sometimes I even misspell it like S

6:26

E A N parmesan.

6:29

But I said parmesan, like

6:31

the person Sean Sean

6:33

Dean. And then,

6:35

OK, the last one last example, the Latin

6:37

American half circle pastry empanada

6:40

empanada.

6:41

The ghost, the ghost

6:43

tilde, basically. The ghost tilde, the

6:46

ghost tilde, the phantom tilde. That's

6:49

right. Empanada. It's not

6:51

empanada. Hyper foreignism.

6:53

Yeah, that's a great that's a great term

6:55

for that. It's like we want to we

6:57

want to honor the origin

7:00

of the word, but like honor maybe a little bit

7:02

too far, a little bit too much. All

7:05

right. Well, more quiz. Without

7:07

further ado, let's jump into our first. Well,

7:10

second, I guess, whatever. Just

7:12

the general quiz segment. Pop

7:14

quiz. Hacha. You

7:17

guys have your barnyard buzzer. Chris is actually

7:20

coming to us live from a hotel

7:22

room, but he brought

7:23

his buzzer with him. Good man. Yeah, forget

7:25

that. I my random trivial

7:27

pursuit card. This is just normal trivial

7:30

pursuit. You guys have your barnyard buzzers.

7:32

Here we go. Blue wedge

7:33

for geography. What was

7:35

the first global radio navigation

7:38

system that also shares its name

7:40

with the luxury

7:41

Swiss watchmaker? Wow.

7:46

Global radio navigation system.

7:49

Chris Rolex. No,

7:52

but you're on the right track. Yeah,

7:55

right. Some

7:55

brands. It is Omega

7:57

Omega. Oh, interesting.

8:00

Okay. Oh, Pink

8:02

Wedge, who was the only cast

8:04

member in the Lord of the Rings to

8:06

have actually met J.R.R. Tolkien?

8:09

Oh, wow. Colin. I'm

8:12

gonna guess that's

8:15

Christopher Lee.

8:16

Yes! Oh, I thought I would

8:18

have guessed Sir Ian McKellen. Yeah.

8:21

All right, Yellow Wedge. What title

8:23

did Camilla Parker Bowles receive

8:26

following her marriage to...

8:28

King, now King

8:30

Charles. Outdated card. In 2005.

8:36

Colin. Okay, so what did she get

8:39

in 2005, right? Well, she

8:41

was the queen consort,

8:43

right? But I think that's outdated.

8:45

So I gotta pass. Chris

8:49

knows. Chris.

8:50

Duchess of Cornwall. Yes! Yeah,

8:52

Chris knows. Wall of corn, Duchess

8:55

of Cornwall. My favorite

8:57

thing on this show, when we both buzz

8:59

in and I'm like, I know this. And then it's like, Colin.

9:02

Well, let's see. I think

9:05

that's not... Chris just laying in

9:07

wait. I'm like...

9:08

Chris is like,

9:11

out of my way. It's

9:15

not the Duke of Earl.

9:18

It's not the Earl of Sandwich. That's

9:21

not a hereditary title. That one's... Okay,

9:27

purple wedge. Which classic

9:29

kids book took shape when its author

9:32

was inspired by watching tiny spiders

9:34

in his New York City apartment

9:36

spin web after web?

9:40

Chris. Charlotte's

9:43

web. Now let's see.

9:46

Okay, who wrote Charlotte's

9:48

web? How about that? E.B. White. Yes,

9:51

it is E.B. White. Green wedge for

9:53

science. Which product first sold

9:56

in 1990 as the power drencher?

11:59

plays really well isn't good at free throws.

12:02

And I was like, oh, this is my time.

12:05

And I wrote in the Zoom chat go, oh,

12:07

like Shaq.

12:08

I'm

12:12

so proud. That's so proud of you. That's

12:14

great.

12:17

You sure made an impression. Yeah,

12:20

they're like, yes, good, Karen. That's right, like

12:22

Shaq. Yes, yeah. I

12:25

wish all the rest of you could be as

12:27

on the ball as Karen is here. Yeah,

12:30

Karen, you're promoted.

12:35

Today's episode, I saw an article

12:38

about in our minds

12:40

we have what age we think

12:42

we are.

12:43

Oh, sure. For some

12:45

reason, I feel like I'm 27 all the time. That's

12:49

so funny that you say that. You know what, Karen? At

12:52

one point, I remember talking with my mom before

12:54

she passed away. And she told me that

12:57

in her mind, she felt 27.

13:01

That was like she was probably 70. And

13:05

she said that in her mind, she kind of

13:07

just felt 27 for the

13:09

rest of her life. So it's funny that you say that.

13:11

Do you guys feel like there's an age in your head

13:13

younger than you are or older? Yeah,

13:15

right, or older. I know what you

13:17

mean. I would say for me, it's probably, yeah, like

13:20

early 30s. I don't know. I

13:22

don't know, 32 maybe, something like

13:24

that. The way you sort of perceive yourself.

13:26

I'm still a kid. I'm not really grown up. And

13:28

it's like, what? I have kids

13:31

now? Like, when did this happen?

13:33

I still love Pearl Jam.

13:35

Maybe I think that until I

13:38

begin interacting with someone who is

13:40

actually like 27. And

13:44

then I realized, my gosh, I'm

13:46

so, so much older than you.

13:48

In honor of facing our mortality,

13:52

I was inspired to have

13:55

a topic on age and youth and

13:57

youthfulness and being young.

13:59

and being 27 in your head all the time.

14:02

So this week, when we

14:04

were young.

14:09

["The Killers"]

14:23

I mean, that's marking you as being

14:25

old. What? When we were

14:27

young and thinking about the killers. That's

14:31

what an old person would think. When did that song

14:33

come out? People would think of Adele now with

14:35

a song called, you know, When We Were Young.

14:37

Oh my God. When we were young

14:40

and killers doesn't even show up. It

14:42

is, you're right. It's all Adele. That's what I'm

14:44

telling you. You're old now. To

14:48

me, that's not that long ago. It's

14:50

a really long time. It's an incredibly long time

14:52

ago. Oh my gosh. Kids were born

14:54

when that album came out.

14:57

Now they're teenagers. No,

14:59

I don't know. They're like, they're

15:01

daughters. Dookie Howser. They're

15:04

operating on you. Yeah. Yeah. Oh,

15:07

man. So again, I don't want, we're

15:09

already sort of trending towards like, I don't

15:11

want this show to turn into us bashing the young

15:13

people. You know what I mean? No,

15:15

no, no. I believe the children

15:18

are a future of careers. Oh my gosh.

15:20

Wow. I mean, I agree. I think that

15:22

people are getting younger and younger these days.

15:25

You know, I think that's great. So I think

15:27

we should celebrate the

15:30

achievements of the youth with a quiz

15:32

that I would like

15:33

to call, How Young Were They?

15:36

This is a write down, closest

15:39

to the pin quiz. OK. So

15:41

I am going to ask you how young

15:44

the youngest person ever to

15:47

do something impressive was.

15:50

And you're going to take a stab at just guessing the age

15:53

at the age of the person. OK. OK. The person

15:55

was or anything like that. I'm going to say,

15:57

how young was the youngest person ever to blank?

15:59

have to guess how how young they

16:02

were. I'm talking about how old they were, how young they were

16:04

when they when they accomplished this. So I'll

16:07

start it right off with

16:09

the joke that I made earlier

16:11

in the show, which is how

16:14

young was the youngest person

16:16

to pass the U.S. medical boards

16:19

and become a doctor? Oh

16:23

how young was the youngest person to pass the U.S.

16:25

medical boards and become a doctor? So

16:27

just go ahead write down an age that

16:29

you think

16:29

is the appropriate answer to

16:32

this question and we'll see who

16:34

is the closest. How

16:36

young was the youngest person ever to

16:39

pass the boards and become officially

16:41

in the United States of America a doctor? Do they

16:43

do they have to practice? It's I

16:46

mean this person went into prep to

16:48

practice of medicine. Okay all right. All

16:51

right okay

16:52

uh Collins is 14, Karen's is 16. You guys

16:54

are both thinking a little too Dewey Hauser-ish but

16:56

not not quite. It was 17.

16:58

Bala

17:01

Ambati was 17. He graduated

17:03

from Mount Sinai School of Medicine in 1995, passed

17:07

the U.S. medical boards and became a doctor.

17:09

Wow!

17:09

Yeah yeah

17:12

amazing. A lot of child prodigies.

17:14

All right here's here's one for the athletes

17:16

out there you know maybe you're not gonna become a doctor

17:19

at age 17 but you know how young

17:21

was the youngest person

17:23

to climb Mount Everest?

17:28

I wonder if they have rules for that

17:30

now. Like what if

17:32

it was a baby in a backpack? What

17:35

if it was a baby in a backpack? Do you think somebody would

17:37

do that? I say no that

17:39

baby doesn't get credit. You're not burning. You

17:42

have to get that's that's this quiz you have to figure

17:45

out like well what is the story you know?

17:47

Yeah yeah yeah. For the doctor one I was

17:48

like

17:50

man if it's if it's U.S. like I feel

17:53

like they won't let anybody practice

17:55

maybe until they're 18 but

17:57

they can get credited before.

17:58

Yeah, I went

18:00

through the same process. All right. Karen

18:03

says nine. Colin says 11. Again,

18:06

you're very confident that these

18:08

children, I will tell you that it is 13, the

18:11

answer is 13, which is

18:13

still very young. Jordan

18:16

Romero of California,

18:19

USA, was just 13 years

18:21

old when he summited Mount Everest in 2010.

18:25

Yep. Accompanied by his

18:27

parents, accompanied by several serpas. Yeah,

18:30

it is extreme. Everybody, yeah. No

18:32

joke. Well,

18:33

it's not, no it is not. No, it is not

18:35

a joke. You know what also

18:38

isn't a joke? How young

18:40

was the youngest person ever to travel

18:42

to space?

18:46

Space also not a

18:48

joke. How young was the youngest

18:50

person ever to travel to space?

18:53

I bet they're not American. I,

18:57

that's kind of where my mind went to.

18:59

Youngest person ever to

19:01

travel to space. Wow, both Colin and Karen

19:03

guess 19. You are both the

19:06

same distance away from the correct answer.

19:09

Thanks. The

19:12

correct answer is actually 18. So

19:14

you're both very close on this one. Oliver

19:17

Damon, a Dutch student

19:19

was 18 years old when he traveled

19:21

aboard the Blue Origin

19:23

space tourism.

19:25

That's right, that's for so recent.

19:27

In 2021, this

19:29

technically was a, he did go to

19:31

space. He left the Earth's

19:34

atmosphere and was in outer space, but it was

19:36

a suborbital mission. trivia,

19:39

the youngest person ever to actually fly

19:41

in Earth's orbit was Soviet cosmonaut,

19:44

Germann Titov. He was 25 years

19:47

old when he went up in 1961. Okay,

19:50

I was kind of thinking maybe somebody. Yeah,

19:52

Soviet cosmonaut. Basically it

19:54

was until the new age of space tourism where

19:57

you can go to space if you are very rich.

20:00

How young was the youngest

20:02

person to graduate

20:05

from college with a bachelor's

20:07

degree? This

20:10

is a person who graduated from an accredited

20:12

university in the United States of America

20:14

with a with a Bachelor's do

20:16

you have the school? Sure.

20:19

The school is the University of South,

20:21

Alabama I'm

20:24

sure that

20:25

did not help you in any Oh Karen

20:28

says 13 Colin says 13 the

20:32

youngest person ever to graduate from college

20:34

20:37

Kearney of Honolulu Hawaii who was 10?

20:40

years Got

20:43

his bachelor's degree in anthropology

20:46

from the University of South, Alabama in 1994 good

20:51

job

20:52

brain he was a Like

20:55

the most child he's still alive.

20:57

He's the most child prodigies of child

21:04

Michael Michael Kearney apparently was talking

21:06

at four months when he was six months old He

21:08

went to the doctor

21:10

and he told the doctor. He's like I have a left

21:12

ear infection When

21:14

he was six months old And

21:17

yeah, I mean he just sort of took off like a ride.

21:19

He's gotten several degrees since then I mean

21:21

he I mean I think at 14. He got

21:24

his master's

21:24

my goodness

21:28

How young was the youngest person

21:30

ever to win a competitive

21:33

Oscar? Oh Competitive

21:36

Oscar Competitive Oscar

21:38

not not not talking about

21:41

Shirley Temple with the special

21:43

juvenile award that they that they just Gaved

21:46

her I didn't consider any other

21:48

children who might have been you know

21:50

Nominated the hidden near the kids battle it

21:53

out. You're talking about age at which award

21:55

was handed to the person Yes, right age

21:58

at which Oscar was put in this person

21:59

person's hand. Yes, that's right. That's right. All

22:02

right. Yeah. How old

22:05

Karen says 11. Colin says 10. Colin

22:08

nails it right on the

22:10

beanbag with 10 years old. And Colin,

22:12

I bet you know who it is. It's not Anna Paquin. I

22:15

believe it is Tatum O'Neill. It's

22:17

Tatum O'Neill. Oh, paper

22:19

moon. Paper moon in 1974 still

22:22

has not been toppled. Anna Paquin

22:25

was, I believe, 9 years old when

22:27

she filmed

22:29

the piano, but she was 11 years

22:31

old when she accepted the Best

22:33

Supporting Actress Award. But

22:35

let's stick with award shows.

22:38

How young was the youngest person

22:40

ever to win a Grammy?

22:42

Again, still a

22:45

competitive award. I feel

22:48

like, oh man, I feel like this, we had this somewhat

22:51

recently. I feel like,

22:53

oh yeah. Well, I know who it was. I don't know

22:55

how old she is. Okay. All right.

22:58

Okay. Well, maybe together we can.

23:00

Then you gotta take a stab at it and see. Karen

23:02

says 9. Colin says 9. Again,

23:04

you're both 1 year off. It was 8 years old. Does

23:07

anybody wanna say who it was? Blue

23:09

Ivy Carter? Not Blue Ivy. Not Blue

23:11

Ivy Carter. She did win a Grammy.

23:14

It was wasn't that one of the, one

23:16

of the, like the sisters who

23:18

won like the soundtrack for like,

23:21

oh brother, where art thou, right? There you go.

23:23

That's, that's as close

23:25

as anybody's gonna get. Yes. Excellent work.

23:28

Leah Pizol of the Pizol sisters was

23:32

8 years old when she won

23:35

a, when she became a Grammy winner for

23:37

her work on the soundtrack album to Oh Brother,

23:40

Where Art Thou? That's right. Alongside her two

23:42

older sisters. So like she won as a performer?

23:44

She, she did. Yeah. Yeah.

23:46

Yeah. She, I mean, they, they essentially, the Grammy

23:48

was awarded to their group. So

23:50

I mean, she as a member of that group is considered

23:53

a Grammy winner. Yep.

23:55

Let's see. How many more do we have here? Just

23:58

a couple of interesting, couple of interesting.

23:59

Okay, here we go. So how young was the youngest

24:02

person ever to win

24:04

the Nobel Peace Prize? Oh, well, I think

24:07

again, I know who it is. I

24:10

don't know how old she was though. Oh, all right.

24:15

Holland

24:17

says 14, Karen says 16. The

24:20

answer is that Malala Yousafzai

24:23

was 17. Debbess teen.

24:26

Okay. When she was awarded the Nobel

24:28

Peace Prize in 2014 for her work in human

24:30

rights advocacy. Yes, so she was 17

24:33

years old. That is the youngest person. I believe

24:35

that is the youngest Nobel Laureate

24:37

period also. No 17

24:40

year olds have won in physics yet, you know? But

24:42

you know, could happen.

24:44

How young was

24:47

the youngest person ever to become

24:49

president of the United States of America?

24:53

It's not 17 and it's not 10. So

24:57

now there's a rule. I feel like maybe before

24:59

then there wasn't a rule. There wasn't

25:02

an age requirement in the old

25:04

days

25:05

when people were practicing dentistry

25:07

and being a lawyer at the same time.

25:09

Right, right, right, yeah. And just being the president

25:11

and I'm like, yeah, this is a side hustle, yeah.

25:14

You know, I was here, it's JFK, but like, I

25:16

think maybe, I don't know, I think maybe there's a nation. There's

25:18

a little rub here in how Chris worded this question,

25:21

I believe, yeah. Oh.

25:23

Okay, all right, okay, okay. Karen

25:26

says 30. Colin says 40

25:28

and has written down TR question

25:31

mark. So yes, Colin has kind of gotten

25:33

what I'm getting at. John F.

25:36

Kennedy was the youngest person ever elected

25:38

president of the United States. He was 43 years

25:41

old when he was elected president of the United States, but

25:44

Theodore Roosevelt was just a wee little

25:46

baby of just 42 years of age

25:48

when he became president

25:51

following the assassination of

25:53

William McKinley. So

25:55

Theodore Roosevelt

25:57

at 42 is the youngest person to ever be.

25:59

Become president of the oh, so that's

26:02

how you word it is become of America President

26:05

of the United States of America not be elected president.

26:08

That was closer than I thought I I thought I

26:10

thought he was a couple Years younger than Kennedy. That

26:12

was those really close though. It is very

26:14

close, isn't it? Yeah. Yep So just

26:16

one more question for you. Okay, here we go

26:19

How young was the youngest

26:22

Olympic medalist? now

26:26

Now I have to I'm gonna qualify and

26:29

say we're talking about the modern Olympic games

26:31

I am NOT going to say that some kid

26:34

in the year

26:35

It's

26:39

not it's not Hercules It's

26:42

how young was the youngest Olympic medalist

26:44

in the modern Olympic games,

26:47

right? Yep. There's so many disciplines

26:50

I know I know where like you can just

26:52

totally imagine that age is not necessarily

26:54

a Blocker. Oh

26:57

You went young I did

27:00

Karen says 13 and Colin

27:02

says 10 Colin

27:05

is right. What it is 10.

27:07

Oh So,

27:10

are you ready for this one? Dimitrios

27:13

Lundress was 10 years and 218

27:16

days old when he represented

27:19

Greece in the team parallel

27:21

bars earning a bronze

27:24

27:28

27:30

27:33

Olympics First

27:36

modern Olympic games Dimitrios

27:40

Lundress died in 1970 as

27:42

the last surviving participant

27:45

of the first

27:46

Got

27:50

the bronze medal, yeah, that's a good

27:52

one Isn't that great Wow?

27:55

All right. I know Congratulations.

27:59

Yes Congratulations to

28:01

Dimitrios and everybody else.

28:03

You did it. Malala, yeah. Yeah,

28:06

yeah, yeah. Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy

28:09

Roosevelt's in there at 42. Yeah.

28:12

42, yeah. Yeah, this young go-getter.

28:15

Yeah.

28:17

All right.

28:19

I also have a quiz.

28:22

I here have a quiz

28:24

about the fictional world of delaying

28:27

aging. These are questions

28:29

about books, TVs, movies.

28:31

This is a buzz and quiz. So get

28:33

your barnyard buzzers.

28:36

Delayed aging in fiction.

28:39

Here we go. So this first section

28:41

are about characters who are

28:43

immortal. Okay,

28:45

here we go. First question. In

28:48

the Pirates of Caribbean series, Davy

28:50

Jones was cursed with

28:52

immortality and looking like an octopus.

28:55

His whole crew was cursed too. What

28:58

was the name of their ship? Oh,

29:02

Lord.

29:09

Colin. The Dreadnought. No,

29:12

it is the Flying Dutchman. Oh.

29:15

The Flying Dutchman. The

29:18

mythical, which actually recently I just

29:20

saw a possible explanation about

29:23

out at sea. There's

29:25

this optical illusion phenomenon

29:27

with the reflection of water that makes ships

29:29

look like they're

29:30

floating. Sure, yeah. Yeah.

29:33

And so maybe that's kind of these

29:35

legends kind of was born out of that.

29:37

Yeah, yeah. All right, next question.

29:40

This character served as a captain

29:42

in the American Civil War, then

29:45

was transported to Mars and

29:47

became an immortal

29:49

warrior. Whoa. This

29:52

character served as captain

29:54

American Civil War on

29:55

the Confederate side, then was

29:58

transported to Mars. Colin.

30:01

It's from the Burroughs,

30:03

right? From the Barsoom. It's what it is.

30:06

Like John, help me out here, Chris. Like

30:08

they made it. Nope. Just John.

30:11

No idea. John something. I know

30:13

you know this. They tried

30:15

to make a big blockbuster out of this and

30:17

it flopped. Chris. John

30:20

Carter?

30:20

Yes. Okay. Thank

30:23

you. Of Mars. Edgar Rice Burroughs, also

30:26

the author of Tarzan. Yes. Vampires

30:30

are famously immortal.

30:33

One of the most famous vampires in modern

30:35

literature is Anne Rice's Lestat.

30:39

From Interview with Vampire, Movies and Books and

30:41

also like the Vampire

30:42

Chronicles. Lestat, Lestat,

30:45

Lestat. What is Lestat's last name?

30:48

Oh geez. He has a last name.

30:51

Oh man. Tom Cruise.

30:54

Chris. Dracula. Lestat,

30:57

Delion Court. Ah

31:00

yes. Yes. Delion

31:02

Court. Yes. Never,

31:04

literally never heard that in my life. Should I read that book?

31:07

It's like the first, because she's

31:09

written one million of these books, but like it's the first book

31:11

to Interview with the Vampire. Like is that, is it

31:13

good? Should I read it? Yeah, I think it was

31:15

fun. I mean, I remember

31:18

it was a long time ago, like in college. I

31:20

just, I had a bunch of friends who had read it. It was fun. I

31:23

mean, you could read it very quickly.

31:23

The other

31:25

kind of vampire literature is from

31:27

so long ago. And Rice gave

31:31

more flavor to the vampire mythology

31:33

than just like Dracula. Right.

31:37

All right. Next chapter, next segment. This

31:39

is all about finding an object that

31:41

grants immortality.

31:43

So here we go. This

31:45

Ron Howard film stars

31:48

Don Amici, Wolfram Brimley

31:51

as seniors who stumble across a swimming

31:53

pool that makes their bodies younger.

31:57

Colin. That is, of course.

32:00

cocoon. It's been a while since I watched that

32:02

movie, but I watched that movie as a kid and I thought it was awesome.

32:04

Oh, yeah. And I mean, speaking of course, of the

32:06

aging episode, right? You are of course

32:09

aware of the internet, the Wilford Brimley

32:10

line, right? The famous Twitter account

32:13

congratulating other celebrities

32:15

when they hit certain age, which was the

32:18

same age as Wilford Brimley when he

32:20

started cocoon.

32:22

Right, which and which is which is young.

32:24

He was 50. Like, I

32:26

mean, like, you know, old man, Wilford Brimley,

32:29

like that

32:29

your citizen,

32:31

citizen, you know, yeah, he was 50 years,

32:34

nine months and six days. And

32:36

so, yeah, that's when you cross the

32:38

can of refill. All right.

32:41

Next question, immortality object

32:44

who exclaimed that he would sell

32:46

his soul for his painting

32:48

to age in his place.

32:49

Chris

32:53

Dorian Gray, Dorian

32:55

Gray, and the portrait

32:58

of Dorian Gray. In

33:00

Chinese mythology, the

33:02

Monkey King steals this type

33:04

of fruit from a tree that grants immortality.

33:07

This fruit has long been a symbol

33:09

of long life.

33:14

Here's a hint. You might see

33:17

it in a bun

33:19

or a bow form if you go eat

33:21

dim sum. It's kind of a dessert shaped

33:24

like this fruit. I know in Japanese

33:26

mythology, there's a kid that gets born out

33:28

of it.

33:29

Oh, it's okay. Chris,

33:31

the peach, the peach, the peach,

33:34

long life longevity. Yes. Interesting.

33:37

Steals the peach from the

33:39

garden in the heavens represents but

33:42

the long life and but

33:45

this 1975 children's novel

33:47

by Natalie Babbitt is about a family

33:50

who inadvertently drank from the fountain

33:52

of youth.

33:55

Chris. Tuck Everlasting.

33:57

Yes. have

34:00

not read that. It's one of those.

34:02

I hate school reading. Usually

34:05

required school reading is like big

34:07

downers like where the red fern

34:09

grows. Right, right,

34:11

right. I shot my dog.

34:13

Or another.

34:15

Oh, it was a book about like the Iditarod

34:18

or some sort of like race. Oh,

34:20

yeah. Yeah. My

34:23

teacher was reading out loud and he was

34:25

crying. And I was like, why are we reading

34:28

these books about

34:29

dead dogs. Finally,

34:33

a book about a family that drink

34:35

from the found of you. All right. This

34:38

last section is on suspended animation,

34:41

your cryo freeze, your cryo

34:43

sleep, your preservation, very

34:45

handy plot tool for

34:47

sure. My all time favorite show, as you know,

34:50

is Futurama slash Futurama

34:53

features the main character, Philip J. Fry, who

34:55

gets accidentally frozen, wakes up in

34:57

the year 3000. The show's creator is

35:00

of course, Simpsons creator Matt

35:02

Groening.

35:03

How many TV animated shows

35:06

did Matt Groening create? Oh, geez.

35:08

Okay. I feel like it's

35:12

not going to be two animated

35:14

TV series,

35:17

Colin for it is

35:19

three magic number three guys. Oh,

35:21

yes. Magic number sign.

35:23

Oh, name three. And then I was

35:25

thinking there must be one I was forgetting. And so I was trying

35:27

to like add a third one is a

35:30

disenchanted on Netflix. All

35:33

right. Next question. Sleeping

35:35

Beauty and her kingdom got to

35:38

delay aging as they fell

35:40

into deep sleep because of a curse in

35:42

the 1959 Disney film.

35:45

What was Sleeping Beauty's name? Wow.

35:49

Chris. Aurora. Yes.

35:52

Aurora. Okay. Last question here. In 1997, who

35:54

peed for three

36:00

hours after being thawed

36:02

from cryo-freeze. Colin.

36:07

Yeah, is that Austin

36:10

Powers? Yes, it is Austin

36:12

Powers.

36:14

Some works of fiction address

36:16

maybe the physical problems

36:18

of cryo-sleep or cryo-freeze,

36:21

you know, being disoriented and of

36:23

course Austin Powers pee for three

36:26

hours.

36:29

Which makes sense. Doesn't make sense.

36:31

It's not like you just build up water the

36:33

whole time. That's true. That's what flatter

36:35

will like first. Yeah,

36:38

it's not proportional to how long you're sleeping. Yeah.

36:40

I don't want to wake up and poop.

36:43

All right, and we're just gonna need to fit on your cryo-dipers

36:45

here. I'm sorry, my what now?

36:47

So related

36:50

to this big news, the remains

36:53

of a 30,000 year old Arctic

36:56

ground squirrel was

36:58

just discovered preserved

37:01

in ice. You know, when dogs do the cinnamon

37:04

roll sleeping, the squirrel is

37:06

like cinnamon roll sleeping position. You

37:08

can see the fur it's brown

37:11

red fur. You see the little

37:13

claws. Now that

37:14

you say it, that's how old I

37:16

feel when you're like how old do you feel

37:18

on the inside of the top of the show? I feel

37:20

like a 30,000 year old ground

37:23

squirrel

37:24

curled up in a little ball.

37:31

All right, let's take a quick break and

37:33

we'll be right back.

37:53

37:56

little time. But being healthy is one of my hobbies

38:22

minerals, and then I don't have to spend extra

38:24

brain cells and energy worrying about supplements.

38:27

39:16

Good job brain.

39:24

Colin, you're looking for something. The

39:27

topic of the episode got me thinking about

39:29

the many, many things

39:32

we learned in school growing up that

39:34

have since turned out to be somewhere

39:37

on the misleading to

39:39

outright baloney scale. Some

39:41

where some things fall in there. I

39:43

mean, I'm not just talking about like stuff like

39:46

Pluto used to be a planet, right?

39:48

I mean, it was legitimately a planet when I was a

39:50

kid. It's no longer a planet. I'm talking about

39:52

false sort of lazy histories of

39:55

parts of our very own country.

39:56

I remember learning

39:58

as a kid, the sort of

39:59

the thumbnail version of the history

40:02

of Florida, the great great state of Florida,

40:05

which was that I'll do some fill in the blanks

40:07

here, guys. You helped me out. All right. Florida was

40:09

discovered, quote

40:12

by Ponce de Leon. Yes. And

40:14

further, I was told that at least

40:16

in part, Ponce de Leon was searching

40:18

for the fountain of youth.

40:21

So yeah, I mean, people believed a lot

40:23

of kind of out there things in 1513. I

40:26

mean, they didn't really have like the germ

40:28

theory of disease then,

40:29

you know? I mean, it's like, okay, I can plausibly

40:32

see that maybe some people believe there was

40:34

a fountain of youth. Juan

40:37

Ponce de Leon was indeed

40:40

a notable Spanish explorer,

40:43

conquistador, colonizer.

40:46

As I say, his expedition did

40:48

in fact make the first verified

40:52

official

40:53

landing of a European

40:56

crew in Florida.

40:59

But okay, was he really,

41:03

really, really, really looking for the fountain

41:05

of youth? Even if it wasn't like number one

41:07

on his list, I'm like, was it

41:09

like someone on the list? Top five. Yeah. Yeah.

41:11

Top five, you know? I would say gold would

41:13

be up there. It is not going to surprise you

41:15

to hear that in the 1500s, the Spanish Empire

41:18

was quite keen to get

41:22

its hands on as much gold and

41:25

or territory as it could. I mean,

41:27

in the, you know, in the so called New World.

41:29

All right, where did the fountain of youth?

41:32

How did it work its way into the

41:34

Ponce de Leon sort of origin story,

41:37

if you will, I will tell you, and

41:39

I hope I'm not disappointed you there. There is

41:41

no real fountain of youth. They didn't

41:43

find it. At age 19. Speaking of

41:47

high achievers here at age 19, Ponce de Leon in 1493, he

41:50

was one of more than 1000 people,

41:55

sailors, colonists, soldiers

41:58

who were on. Columbus's second

42:01

visit to the New World. Oh!

42:05

1493, right? I mean, Columbus was there.

42:07

Hey, found everything, went back.

42:10

As you probably remember, again, we learned

42:12

in school that Columbus was largely

42:15

bankrolled by the Spanish

42:17

crown. So this was the second visit. Ponce

42:20

de Leon, many other people joined on

42:22

board, went back. He did eventually

42:25

land, after a few stops, on what

42:27

is today Puerto Rico. He

42:29

kind of set to work, you know, making his name

42:31

and making his life. By the early 1500s,

42:34

he was serving as governor of

42:36

Puerto Rico, you know, installed by the Spanish

42:39

crown. So he really got to work.

42:41

And I mean, let me be clear, let me be very

42:43

clear here. I, he was not a sweetheart

42:46

or a soft touch kind of guy.

42:49

In fact, part of the reason that he climbed sort

42:51

of the ranks

42:52

quickly was that he was

42:55

very good at conquering and colonizing.

42:57

He was involved in some very kind of brutal treatment

42:59

of the Taino people there. As

43:01

kids certainly, sometimes you see these

43:03

little cartoon smiling pictures of the conquistadors

43:06

in the margins of the books. I think we know

43:08

enough these days to know that that's certainly not the

43:10

rosy picture that was going on.

43:12

By 1513, he was tasked

43:14

with sailing out to explore

43:17

a little bit. All right, now, so

43:19

let's just pause there. All right,

43:20

there are a lot of legends around the

43:23

world of healing waters

43:25

and magical spring. This

43:28

is not necessarily a unique folk motif,

43:30

but in that region, that according

43:33

to the legends and the tales, some

43:35

of the native peoples in Cuba,

43:37

in Puerto Rico, various places, there were

43:40

stories of a mythical

43:42

land, a magical land that

43:45

may gotten mixed in perhaps

43:47

with some of these magical water motifs.

43:50

And this

43:50

mythical land was called Baymini

43:54

or Benini, which

43:56

we believe was the source of the

43:58

name, Baymini.

44:00

It sort of became a stand-in

44:02

for some of these magical stories about mythical

44:05

places and magical lands.

44:06

There is no evidence whatsoever

44:09

that Ponce de Leon was interested

44:12

in a fountain of youth, cared about

44:14

a fountain of youth, heard about a fountain

44:17

of youth. However, he

44:19

did have a royal charter to

44:21

go discover this land

44:24

called Benigni, or Benigni, which

44:26

eventually became modern-day Bimini.

44:29

But what happened over the years is

44:31

writers, successive writers, writing

44:34

about Ponce de Leon, sort

44:36

of fell

44:36

into this common pattern. There were

44:38

several writers who all sort of said, here's

44:41

Ponce de Leon, here's what he did. Some

44:44

people think he was looking for the fountain

44:46

of youth, but I certainly, for one,

44:48

don't think that. And this

44:50

sort of got repeated and repeated and

44:52

repeated, almost like just comically,

44:55

writer after writer, like, I don't really think this

44:57

is happening. But some people say. And

44:59

by the time, you know, I was a kid learning about it in

45:02

school, it had sort of just gotten enshrined along

45:04

with the legend. He was doing this. Yeah, yeah. He was there searching

45:06

for

45:06

the fountain of youth and, oh, hey, just happened to

45:08

discover Florida. It's a much better

45:11

reason than saying he was out

45:13

looking to conquer territories and

45:15

killing people. Yes. He's

45:17

looking for the magical water. That's

45:20

right. Totally. What a fantasy. Yeah.

45:22

Yep. It's a much, just very

45:24

sanitized, much cleaned up version of the story.

45:27

You're totally right. There's no direct evidence

45:29

that he had this anywhere on his list. It

45:31

was not three. It was not five. It was not top 10.

45:33

It was nowhere on his list now. So

45:36

it kind of answered a little bit of a question there.

45:38

Like, yeah, I got a little bit of baloney as a kid.

45:40

If you go to Florida today,

45:43

if you go to, I don't know, Karen, maybe

45:45

you've run a marathon. Have you ever been to St. Augustine,

45:47

Florida? No, but I've heard of it. All right.

45:49

So, yeah, if you go to St. Augustine, Florida,

45:51

there is a place called the Fountain

45:55

of Youth Archaeological Park.

45:57

Now, for many years,

45:59

this park build itself

46:02

as the real location

46:06

of the well that was discovered

46:09

by the Spanish conquistadors, nay,

46:11

by Ponce de Leon himself in 1513.

46:15

And this is what he believed

46:18

to be the Fountain of Youth. This

46:20

is a real park. It's a real place. If

46:22

you grew up in Florida, you may have, you

46:24

know, gone there and- But he's dead,

46:26

so obviously he didn't find it. Well,

46:29

you know, it's interesting that you say that there are varying descriptions

46:32

of what exactly the Fountain of Youth

46:34

was. You know, like on its most

46:36

extreme description, it was, you

46:38

know, an old man could take a bath

46:41

in the Fountain of Youth and emerge, you

46:43

know, rejuvenated, able to father

46:45

more children and father more children.

46:48

Other accounts are it just cured your illnesses

46:51

and just, you know, or just maybe just made you feel good. So

46:53

it's like, you get down there like, wait,

46:55

do I

46:56

drink it? Because that old

46:58

man just got in here.

47:01

And he fathered a lot of children. I don't

47:04

want to go in there. Back to

47:06

St. Augustine, Florida. So I like to

47:08

tell you guys about Luella

47:10

De McConnell, or

47:12

Diamond

47:13

Lille. Luella

47:15

De McConnell, Diamond Lille, she was a

47:18

physician.

47:19

And in the late 1890s, she

47:22

moved from mainland America

47:25

up to the Klondike, in fact. Oh,

47:28

she made her fortune there. By

47:31

the early 1900s, she had returned

47:33

from the Yukon. She and her husband, they had arrived

47:35

in St. Augustine, Florida from the

47:37

Yukon, wearing fur

47:40

coats, jewels, and

47:43

a diamond studded tooth,

47:45

front tooth, hence the name Diamond

47:48

Lille. They

47:49

bought a big parcel of land

47:52

in St. Augustine on which they

47:54

had this fountain.

47:56

Luella was a hustler. There is

47:58

no question Luella. Simon Lowe was a hustler.

48:01

She started selling, quote, youth

48:04

water from this little fountain on

48:06

the property. All right. And eventually

48:09

started charging admission, turned it into

48:11

a park. She

48:13

at one point uncovered

48:15

a stone cross in the

48:18

ground that apparently

48:20

she claimed was tied to the Ponce de Leon

48:22

landing party. This is all

48:24

bunk. I mean, none of this is real, but

48:26

I mean, just grade A, early 1900s,

48:29

just American kind of hucksterism.

48:31

And so this place became like

48:34

a landmark. I mean, like in pretty

48:37

short period of time. And

48:39

Diamond Lille just was a fixture

48:41

in St. Augustine. Things were going great. She

48:43

was building up her empire.

48:44

She died in 1927.

48:47

Apparently she drove her car into a ditch. It's

48:50

a little sad. And

48:52

that was the end of the Diamond Lille. I

48:54

mean, it's just it's one of these

48:57

things like these people just these huge big

48:59

lives. I mean, she's a physician and

49:01

you know, she moves to the Klondike

49:03

and makes her fortune. And she goes so well.

49:05

So the park, you know,

49:10

has

49:13

changed hands,

49:13

obviously. There. Carrot,

49:16

it's not only still there. It is a

49:18

local landmark fountain of

49:20

youth, archaeological park in St. Augustine.

49:22

Like I guarantee you, we have some

49:25

listeners listening like I've been there. I

49:27

went there with my class or my family or whatever.

49:30

As it turns out, real

49:32

bona fide archaeological expeditions

49:35

have in fact uncovered

49:38

artifacts and evidence that the site

49:40

of this park

49:42

is

49:44

on top of one of

49:46

if not the first sort of modern

49:48

settlements in St. Augustine, Florida. So

49:51

in its own way, did sort

49:53

of come to have a legitimate

49:56

historical claim to Florida

49:59

history.

49:59

How convenient. How convenient,

50:02

yes. Despite Diamond Lill's

50:04

overbilling maybe. Wow, she

50:07

was right. She was certainly right in her vision

50:09

of a successful park in Florida.

50:13

Yeah, so you can go there, you can visit

50:15

it today. It's on like lists of things to

50:18

do if you're in St. Augustine.

50:19

Now they can actually call

50:21

it an archaeological park. Yes,

50:23

that's right. I mean, it wasn't until like

50:25

the 1970s that they really started

50:28

in earnest like these real expeditions. Yeah,

50:30

so it had, you know, many

50:33

years of pseudo

50:36

history and then definitely has come into real

50:38

history. Yeah, it's a long way to

50:40

go from California, but if I am out there,

50:42

I do promise I will

50:45

take a detour and check this place out.

50:48

Welcome to Rainbow Puppy Science

50:51

Lab. Hi,

50:53

I'm Attis. And I'm Kyle. I'm

50:56

a National Board Certified Teacher, so I

50:58

love things that are educational. And

51:00

I'm a kid, so I love things that are fun.

51:03

On Rainbow Puppy Science Lab, each

51:06

episode is dedicated to the careful

51:08

study of

51:09

something cool like ice cream

51:11

or video games. We'll go back

51:13

in time to discover some fun facts

51:15

from the history of our subject. And

51:18

imagine the future, like what if they

51:20

combined ice cream

51:22

and video games? Oh, that'd be sweet.

51:25

The show is packed with fun facts, trivia

51:27

games, and even experiments you can try at

51:29

home.

51:30

It's so much fun. You won't even

51:32

believe it's educational. So follow

51:34

Rainbow Puppy Science Lab starting Tuesday,

51:36

April 25th.

51:38

And become an expert at all things

51:41

awesome. Jinx.

51:45

Okay, guys, last segment. It's

51:47

time to rip the band-aid. Here

51:50

we are facing our own

51:52

age with my quiz.

51:56

Current teen slang. Current

51:59

teen.

51:59

Slang. No, come on.

52:02

It'll be fun. I've even recruited real teens

52:04

to help me verify this quiz

52:11

because it was kind of sad and desperate

52:14

that I was googling some of this stuff.

52:16

Right? We're in a weird age

52:18

because we have we have kids, but our kids

52:20

are very young. I feel like if our

52:23

kids are teenagers, we probably more be

52:25

more connected to like the

52:27

language of the youth, but our

52:29

kids are younger. But we

52:31

do work in

52:32

youngish skewing tech

52:35

industries where we do encounter

52:38

not only younger people as co workers, but

52:40

like communities and such. It's a

52:42

write down quiz. Please have your

52:44

paper and pen ready. I'm

52:47

going to give you a term. You're going

52:49

to tell me what you think it means. It's

52:52

important to give where credit is

52:54

due because a lot of the

52:56

youth slang, these terms, they're

52:58

borrowed from other cultures, like

53:00

minority communities, black vernacular,

53:02

fringe and specialty

53:05

groups like gaming, fan

53:08

slash stand culture. Here

53:10

we go.

53:12

First word. Bussin.

53:15

That is B U S S I

53:17

N. Bussin. What

53:20

do you think Bussin means?

53:24

All right, answers

53:27

up. Chris, what do you think it means? Good,

53:29

delicious, high quality. Colin

53:32

says good, good energy. Both

53:34

correct. Chris is closer. Bussin

53:37

does have a food kind of

53:39

related.

53:40

Yeah. Yeah. This steak

53:42

is Bussin. Next word.

53:44

Cap. C A P cap.

53:48

You can say cap or you can say

53:50

no cap. What

53:52

does cap mean? All

53:55

right. What do you think it is? I said like,

53:57

why kidding joke holding

53:59

back. like restricting. Well, I'm gonna give it

54:01

to Chris. It is lying. Cap is

54:04

lying. And when you say no cap,

54:07

it is for real.

54:08

The theory I read is teeth capping.

54:11

Oh, it's not false teeth. Okay.

54:14

So no cap means like, oh, my teeth are bare.

54:16

It's real. Yeah. Yeah.

54:19

I'm giving it to you straight. Heather.

54:22

Heather. H-E-A-T-H-E-R. Heather.

54:25

Hmm. It's funny because I think when

54:27

we were younger, we also

54:29

had Heather as a slang as well. Hmm. Yeah,

54:33

we did. All right. Chris says,

54:35

street drugs. Yeah. Work

54:38

my scores in heaven. That sounds really good.

54:41

Colin says, white or uncool? Ooh.

54:44

It's the complete opposite. Heather

54:47

is a beautiful, admirable

54:49

person.

54:50

Mmm. You

54:52

aspire to. Okay. Our

54:55

80s Heather is popular. Yeah.

54:58

Like Mean Girls. Yeah. Heather,

55:00

this stems from a Conan Gray

55:03

song. Team

55:03

Heartthrob and Musician

55:06

has a song called Heather and that's where it came from. All

55:09

right. What does it mean when

55:11

someone says bet? B-E-T.

55:14

Bet. And I'm going to say this

55:16

is not an acronym or abbreviation.

55:19

This is like,

55:20

are they gambling?

55:22

All right, Chris, you said, let's do it. It's

55:29

on.

55:30

Uh, Colin says, believe it. Watch.

55:33

It is. Yes. It

55:35

is confirming. It's on. I

55:38

heard you. I'm confirming what

55:40

you just said. It's kind of

55:42

the equivalent of if you're working in the kitchen,

55:45

people say heard to give a call in

55:47

response. Be like, yes,

55:48

I heard you. Roger. Roger.

55:51

Exactly. Choogee. Choogee.

55:54

Can I have the spelling of that word? It is C-H-E-U-G-Y.

55:59

I

56:02

had to look up the syllable

56:06

emphasis. Choo! Okay.

56:09

Not Choo-gee. Choo-gee. Yeah, yeah.

56:11

Chris says, cringe.

56:16

Colin says, funky. Chris is

56:18

actually doing pretty well. It's

56:20

try hard. So there is cringe.

56:23

Someone who's trying to

56:25

hard. Okay. All right.

56:28

All right. One next term,

56:30

mid. Mid,

56:32

M-I-D. Am I mid? Am

56:35

I a mid? Do I wear a mid?

56:38

Do I eat a mid?

56:41

Chris says, mediocre middling. Colin,

56:43

average.

56:45

Yes, you're correct. Unremarkable.

56:48

Undesireably average.

56:49

All right. Two more. Two

56:51

more. Take several seats. Take

56:56

several seats. Wow. What

56:58

happens when you take several seats? What

57:03

happens when you tell someone take several

57:06

seats? All right. Answer

57:08

is up. Oh, okay. Well,

57:10

that's, Chris says, listen.

57:13

And then, Colin, please stop

57:15

talking. You are very wrong. Yes,

57:19

that's exact. Take several seats.

57:22

Calm down. Chill

57:24

out. Shut up. Because

57:27

you are out of line.

57:28

And it's like, it's more than

57:30

just take a seat. It's like, no, please

57:32

take several seats. Yes, because

57:34

you're so out of line. All right.

57:37

Last one. You guys are doing so

57:39

good. Don't you feel

57:41

good? I'm glad we're

57:43

not just outright embarrassing ourselves

57:45

here. At least one of us is getting closer

57:48

to it on each one. I'll take it. And also,

57:50

I mean, these terms are not that
