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
with a bachelor's degree Was Michael
20:37
Kearney of Honolulu Hawaii who was 10?

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

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

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
medal did not say gold medalist medal
27:28
in the team parallel bars
27:30
in the 1896 summer
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.
37:36
This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens.
37:39
If you are a perpetual and obsessive
37:41

a hydroponic garden or going to pub
37:48
trivia or watching leather work videos
37:50
or reading Patrick Swayze's full filmography.
37:53
Too many interesting things to get into, too
37:56
little time. But being healthy is one of my hobbies
37:58
too, so there are two healthy habit
38:00
stacking life hacks that I do to save time. First,
38:03
I add cooked spinach to all of my meals,

water intake of the day. And it makes me
38:15
feel like I'm covering my nutritional bases.

Just one scoop of powder in water takes
38:19
me 10 seconds, 75 vitamins,
38:22
minerals, and then I don't have to spend extra
38:24
brain cells and energy worrying about supplements.
38:27
And I also struggle to drink enough water too.

["Good Job Brain"] You're
39:08
listening to Good Job
39:10
Brain. Smooth
39:13
puzzles, smart trivia.
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.

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
57:52
wild. Do you
57:53
know what I mean? They're not that random. They
57:56
come from somewhere. They come from somewhere short
57:58
for something. You know, it is.
57:59
figure it out a bull. For
58:02
old men, Chris and I are
