0:40

fact about Karen, she loves to do

0:43

the silent count in, which is like in three

0:45

and then holds up the fingers and then

0:48

points, but she's doing herself.

0:51

So we're looking at her blinking, we're like,

0:53

1:26

Why not for

1:27

1:29

1:34

was there's a big trivia contest,

1:37

8:24

The bald eagle has feathers

8:27

on his head. The bald eagle is not

8:30

actually bald. Why

8:32

is it called bald eagle? Is it because it's like very

8:35

smooth? No, because it looks like

8:37

it's bald. It's got the color contrast.

8:40

Part of why it's a look like Google. Why

8:42

is it a bald? Oh,

8:44

the word bald refers to an old English

8:47

use of the word meaning white

8:49

because bald eagles have white

8:51

heads. Now we know. Last

8:53

question here. Sports and leisure.

9:19

the San Francisco Giants.

9:21

Okay. All right. Good job,

9:23

Brains.

9:25

Today's episode 255. Usually

9:30

in a Good Job Brains episode, we have

9:33

a topic or a theme, but every

9:35

fifth episode, that's out

9:37

the door. We don't have a topic.

9:39

We don't have a theme. All of us have prepared

9:42

quizzes to stump each other and stump

9:44

you guys listeners. So today,

9:47

episode 255, it's our

9:49

all quiz bonanza

9:51

number 51. So

10:01

while we were at SparkleCon, I like I

10:03

had video game trivia on the brain

10:05

because we all we kept making jokes like whenever

10:07

a video game trivia question would

10:09

come up, everybody would just look at me and be like, Yeah,

10:11

yeah, no worries. I got this.

10:13

So I was like, Oh, I should do like a video game quiz

10:15

that kind of works in some interesting trivia

10:17

here. So this is a quiz that

10:19

is sort of built around the best

10:22

selling individual pieces

10:24

of game software for

10:26

various video game consoles.

10:29

Okay, okay. So

10:32

I've got some questions like that. And then there's some

10:34

sort of bonus questions about some

10:36

of those

10:37

biggest selling games sprinkled

10:39

throughout as well, just to try to keep

10:41

the difficulty level somewhere moderate.

10:44

You know, in normal pub trivia, the video game

10:46

questions we get is like, Who

10:47

is Mario's brother, you know, just

10:50

really, really casual

10:53

knowledge, but you know, with SparkleCon, everybody

10:55

there is some sort of jeopardy champ or

10:57

genius. And so even the video

10:59

game questions we got were were harder

11:01

were harder than your average question.

11:04

So exactly. Yeah, for our

11:06

live audience that are live podcast

11:08

recording that we did, you'll probably hear this

11:11

when you actually listen to live episode. At one point,

11:13

I was like,

11:14

All right, how many of you people in this room have

11:16

like either been on jeopardy or

11:18

the chase or who wants to be a millionaire

11:21

11:23

raised their hand.

11:26

All right, the best selling video games

11:29

19:32

that

19:32

was my guess. Black and white.

19:35

Pong?

19:37

It is not Pong. Pong was 72.

19:40

Asteroids had a vector

19:42

monitor. It was a little bit later than this. It was

19:44

in the early 80s. This

19:47

is 1978. This is

19:49

the game. It sold 750,000 machines and a lot of machines.

19:56

For reference, if you think about Street

19:58

Fighter II machines. but if you if you

20:00

take Street Fighter 2 and Street Fighter 2

20:03

turbo and Super Street Fighter 2

20:05

Street Fighter champion edition and all and you add

20:08

all of those up. It's about 200,000 machines

20:13

All of those up this game sold 750,000 this

20:17

is what happens when like I don't

20:19

know a Japanese coffee shop replaces

20:22

all of their tables in the Sit-down

20:26

versions of this machine Space

20:31

invaders

20:35

In my mind it was in color,

20:37

but I'm sure it's like a remade version, you

20:39

know, you know what there is

20:42

They if for some of the machines they'd

20:44

put layers of acetate Over

20:48

the black and white screen because

20:50

you think about space invaders. Everything is in

20:53

horizontal bands Your

20:54

ship horizontal line I

20:58

Word they'd layer acetate so

21:00

it would look like everything was colored But it wasn't

21:03

and just nothing is ever even come close to our

21:06

as like machines Manufacture.

21:08

Yeah. Yeah

21:10

All right, my turn

21:12

this is called angle of attack.

21:14

Here's the format I will be asking

21:16

you a set of questions individually.

21:19

So Chris you'll get a set of five questions Colin

21:22

You'll get a set of five questions

21:24

your questions will be on a subject

21:27

That you don't know

21:29

a lot about okay, but the other

21:31

person does

21:34

We're not about embarrassing

21:35

each other on the show, but we are

21:38

about torturing each other.

21:39

Yes. Yes. Yes torture Yes embarrassing.

21:41

No trivia is all about angles

21:44

angles and clues and even if

21:46

the questions are

21:48

About a subject that you

21:51

know a lot about I've retooled these

21:53

questions so that they're coming from an angle

21:55

that you are Wow Wow,

21:58

so we're gonna dive in

21:59

wants to go first? I'll go first. Okay,

22:02

Colin,

22:03

the subject of your

22:05

quiz is Broadway

22:08

musical.

22:13

You're not the best at which is okay, because

22:15

Chris is phenomenally good

22:18

at Broadway musical knowledge. However,

22:20

here's my little angle.

22:23

Each one of these is based

22:25

on historical events. So that's

22:27

your angle into it. Okay. And you know,

22:29

she'll be able to go about framing. So here we

22:32

go. Five questions. Colin

22:34

about

22:34

Broadway musicals. Lay it

22:36

on me.

22:38

What is the name of this musical

22:40

about a youth led strike against

22:43

Joseph Pulitzer and William

22:45

Randolph Hearst?

22:47

Oh, okay. newspaper

22:50

men. I'm gonna say that

22:53

newsies. Correct.

22:56

It is newsies.

23:00

A sensational musical about the

23:02

newsboys strike of 1899.

23:04

I have not seen 10 seconds

23:07

of it. But I'm aware that

23:09

it is a thing that it exists. You

23:11

know, back then, that's how people got their

23:13

information is from the morning

23:16

and then the evening newspaper. And how

23:18

do you get these papers? You get from newsies

23:20

from newsboys. Alright, next question, Colin

23:23

Broadway musicals with the angle of

23:25

history. Part of this musical

23:28

explored the historical rainbow

23:30

tour of 1947, a non political goodwill tour throughout

23:35

Europe

23:38

led by whom?

23:39

The titular character.

23:40

So

23:42

I'll say

23:44

again, okay, all right.

23:46

This musical explored the historical

23:49

rainbow tour of 1947,

23:52

a non political goodwill

23:55

tour throughout Europe, led by

23:57

whom? The titular character.

24:00

Chris knows. I know, it's just

24:02

like whatever you're trying to do, Harry, it's

24:04

working. It's working great. My brain isn't on

24:06

fire. That was the inspiration. I'm trying to create that

24:08

feeling. It's like, oh my God. We

24:11

were at like a different trivia panel.

24:13

They're asking questions. In college, you

24:16

knew the answer and it was killing

24:19

you. Like you are dying to yell

24:22

out the answer. But yeah, you can't because you're not playing

24:24

on stage. Chris is about to jump out

24:26

of the skin. I'm 1947.

24:28

It's too late for

24:30

Hello Dolly based on the

24:32

historical rainbow tour, which is a real

24:34

thing. Oh, a real thing. Okay. It

24:37

is the Argentine rainbow herself

24:39

is the... Oh, wow. You

24:44

were trying to give me a lot. You were giving me a lot with

24:46

that one. I didn't. Yep. Well

24:49

aware of Evita. Oh, yes. Yes.

24:52

It played for years and years and years at a theater near my house growing

24:54

up. But yep, never thought. So

24:56

it didn't help me. Good one. Good

24:58

question. Good question. Next

25:01

one. Six, the musical, it features an all

25:03

female six person cast

25:06

who all had the pleasure and pain

25:08

of being associated with what

25:11

royal historical figure? Oh, okay.

25:13

Can you read it again?

25:15

Six, the musical features an

25:17

all female six person cast who

25:20

all had the pleasure and pain of being associated

25:23

with what royal

25:24

historical figure? I haven't

25:26

heard of this one. It sounds good.

25:27

Is that King Henry VIII? Yes,

25:30

you are correct. These are

25:32

his six wives. And

25:35

they're reimagined as modern day

25:37

pop stars.

25:38

That's a good concept. I like it.

25:40

You have like a Beyonce of like Ariana

25:42

Grande and they sing

25:43

about kind of their stories. Very good.

25:46

I saw it. I really like it. Next

25:48

question. The modern musical, Come From Away

25:50

takes place in Newfoundland when 7000 people

25:53

unexpectedly landed

25:56

in the small town of Gander during

25:58

what? historic

26:00

event. I this is another

26:02

one I'm sure we talked about on the show. I didn't know this was

26:04

a musical. But

26:07

I believe these were the people who were midair

26:10

when all flights were grounded

26:12

after the September 11 attacks, and they

26:15

landed in this tiny little

26:17

town and were welcomed in with open

26:19

arms, right? Yes. Okay.

26:22

Yep. Yep. And it's a heartwarming story

26:24

about, you know, kindness in the midst

26:26

of the 911 attacks. All right.

26:28

Doing good Colin. Last question for you. What

26:31

is the name of the Stephen

26:33

Sondheim musical whose cast

26:35

includes the characters

26:37

Sarah Jane Moore,

26:39

Giuseppe Zangara and

26:41

John Hinckley Jr.

26:45

Yeah,

26:47

I mean, we were just in the Washington Hilton.

26:50

Yes. There were John Hinckley Jr. impressed

26:52

Jodie Foster. Yeah. Which was

26:55

hilarious. I mean, because every every

26:57

DC resident that I mentioned, oh,

27:00

staying at the Washington Hilton, the absolute

27:02

first thing I know, oh, that's where Hinkley shot

27:04

Reagan, you know, and like, yeah, I

27:07

know you guys are awfully proud

27:09

of this as DC residents. But

27:12

I'm stalling now because

27:15

I do not know the answer to this

27:17

one. Who are these people? Who

27:20

are these people? Sarah Jane Moore. They're

27:23

assassins or would be assassins. The Niggam

27:25

is assassins. Hey, all

27:27

right. A collage of

27:30

stories from famous presidential

27:33

assassins or attempted. Not

27:35

bad, Colin. Good, well constructed

27:37

quiz. I yeah, I didn't

27:39

embarrass myself. This was which is as

27:41

you say, was the goal. Chris's turn. Your

27:44

subject

27:45

is sports. No,

27:47

really? Yes. But your angle

27:51

is entertainment. Okay. All right.

27:53

Angle of attack is entertainment. Okay,

27:56

we go. All right.

27:57

What team performed and released?

27:59

the 1985 hit

28:02

the Super Bowl shuffle two

28:04

months before they dominated and won Super

28:07

Bowl 20 against the New

28:09

England

28:10

Patriots. My gosh. The

28:12

Super

28:12

Bowl shuffle was performed by the

28:15

Green Bay Packers?

28:17

Incorrect. That

28:20

is the Chicago Bears. But

28:23

you never let me answer my question. I

28:26

didn't even do that. That's true.

28:31

Phil Jackson, Steve

28:33

Kerr, and Barack Obama

28:35

are just some of the interviewees featured

28:38

in the 2020 documentary The

28:40

Last Dance centered around what

28:42

athlete?

28:44

Michael Jordan. Correct. I

28:47

knew you could do it.

28:48

Next question. What

28:51

1990s mainstream music artist

28:54

most likely has the distinction of having

28:56

the most pro athlete cameos in

28:58

a music video? Including

29:01

athletes from his local teams like

29:03

Jose Conseco,

29:05

Jerry Rice,

29:06

Ricky Henderson,

29:08

Dion Sanders, and Chris Mullen.

29:10

Can you

29:10

give me that question again? Yes.

29:12

What 1990s mainstream

29:15

music artist most likely has the

29:17

distinction of having the most pro athlete

29:19

cameos in a music video?

29:22

Including athletes from his local

29:24

teams. Jose Conseco,

29:27

Ricky Henderson, Jerry Rice,

29:29

Dion Sanders, and Chris Mullen.

29:32

Colin over there. I don't know

29:34

the teams. I don't know. Prince? It's

29:39

not

29:40

really 90s though. You're

29:42

saying 90s so it's like somebody

29:44

who specifically was really big in the

29:46

90s.

29:47

Vanilla Ice.

29:48

Vanilla Ice. There

29:51

is only one team that comes to mind when you say

29:53

Ricky Henderson and that is the Oakland Athletics

29:55

baseball team. Oakland Athletics.

29:59

Is it MC

29:59

Hammer? hammer bay area

30:01

resident. This was for the

30:03

video too legit to

30:06

quit. And let me tell you I had

30:08

to rewatch this. This is in the golden

30:10

era of music videos in the 90s. There's

30:13

the music video and then there's like

30:15

the 10 minute movie in front

30:17

of it. Right, right. It

30:20

is

30:20

unhinged. This video, it

30:22

there's the

30:23

whole the whole video starts with Jim Belishi

30:26

at a news desk, pretending Oh my

30:28

god, hammer is quitting the music

30:30

industry. What do we do? If all these

30:33

celebrities freaking out about like MC

30:35

Hammer quitting music and then James

30:38

Brown comes in on a throne,

30:40

Greek columns, big sets, fire.

30:44

It's crazy. Okay,

30:46

here we go. Here we go. Chris, you

30:49

can get this. Okay. What team

30:53

did legendary hockey center Stan

30:55

Makita play? Stan Makita,

30:58

which makes sense considering he

31:00

had a famous fake donut

31:03

shop in the film Wayne's

31:05

World.

31:06

What team did he what sorry, what team did

31:08

he play on? And the clue was Wayne's

31:10

World. Makita?

31:11

Makita. Stan Makita. Where

31:14

did Wayne's

31:14

World Milwaukee? They went

31:16

to Milwaukee. They went to Milwaukee. They went to

31:18

Milwaukee. Chicago?

31:20

Yes, Chicago

31:22

Blackhawks. All right, last

31:24

question. Jason Lee, star

31:27

of My Name is Earl, and loads of Kevin

31:29

Smith movies like

31:30

Mall Rats chasing Amy

31:33

was a professional what captured

31:36

in loads of video and magazines

31:38

in the

31:39

90s before he pursued

31:41

acting. Jason

31:44

Lee,

31:46

star of My Name is Earl, and loads

31:48

of Kevin Smith movies like Mall Rats and

31:50

chasing Amy was a professional what

31:53

captured in loads of videos and

31:55

magazines in the 1990s.

31:59

Close, close, not Jim

32:02

this, it is Skateboarder. He was a

32:04

professional skateboarding

32:07

athlete before he became

32:09

an actor.

32:10

That's right, that's right. Woo!

32:15

That was a good quiz. That was a good

32:17

quiz. That was challenging,

32:20

but I really like that format. As

32:22

long as we retain some of the nuggets, then

32:25

I'm good. I'm happy. As long

32:27

as we grow.

32:28

It's the friends we made along the way.

32:30

Let's take a quick break and

32:33

we'll be right back.

32:36

We are trivia people, so we love questions

32:39

and we love answering questions. But

32:41

do you know what questions are the hardest

32:44

to answer? It's what's for dinner? What's

32:46

for dinner? What do you want to eat? What do

32:48

you want to eat? What food should we get? What food

32:50

should we get? Vein of my existence. For

32:53

me, I love eating good food, but I can't

32:55

stand spending my precious brain energy

32:58

deciding on what to eat. I want to

33:00

tear my hair out. I just

33:03

had my second baby like five weeks

33:05

ago, and she's very cute, but

33:07

very demanding of my time. In

33:09

that first week home, I was so thankful

33:12

to have factor meals delivered to my

33:14

door and ready in just two

33:16

minutes. Fresh and never frozen, the

33:19

meals actually passed the green

33:21

bean test. You know when like

33:23

frozen meals have the green beans, but

33:25

they're like actually yellow and mushy. That's

33:28

the worst. So try America's

33:30

number one ready to eat meal kit

33:32

scoring very, very high on the tasty

33:35

meter. Head to factor meals dot

33:37

com slash good job 50 and

33:39

use the code good job 5050 to get 50% off

33:44

the code is good job 50 at factor

33:46

meals dot com slash good job 50

33:49

to get 50% off.

33:51

At Kroger, we know the minute a tomato

33:53

is picked off the vine, the fresh timer starts.

33:56

The sooner we get our produce to you, the fresher it is.

33:59

That's why we've completely overhauled our process

34:01

to shorten the time from harvest to

34:03

home for our tomatoes, strawberries,

34:05

and salads. Because we know how much you

34:07

love fresh produce, we give you more time

34:10

to enjoy your tasty fruits and veggies

34:12

at home. So whether you're shopping in-store, picking

34:14

up, or prefer delivery, we're committed

34:16

to bringing you the freshest produce possible.

34:19

Kroger, fresh for everyone.

34:26

For listening to Good

34:28

Job Brain. Smooth

34:31

puzzle. Smart trivia.

34:35

Good job brain.

34:43

And we're back.

34:45

Today is our all quiz bonanza,

34:48

which means it's a whole episode full

34:50

of weird surprise quizzes that we prepare

34:52

for each other. But before we

34:54

jump into Colin's quiz, I just

34:56

want to share something.

34:58

Our friend and former co-host,

35:00

Dana, used to love weird

35:03

words. I had to share this one word,

35:06

and

35:06

I'm wondering if you guys ever heard

35:08

of this. Frass.

35:10

F-R-A-S-S. Frass. That

35:14

sounds really familiar, but it also might sound

35:16

like a lot of other words. Right, like

35:19

sassafras. Like the free grass? Yeah. Yeah,

35:21

lettuce. Okay,

35:24

it can be two things, but they're kind of very similar.

35:27

Frass can be

35:29

bug poop.

35:30

Frass is also used to describe when

35:33

termites bore into wood and

35:35

they have

35:36

all this powder, particles

35:38

that insects are trying to

35:40

get rid of. They're leavings. There

35:42

you go. That's a good, fun word.

35:46

F-R-A-S-S. All right, Colin,

35:48

it is your turn for all quiz. What do you got?

35:51

Yeah, this was a quiz that actually

35:53

had its genesis at the Sporkelcon

35:56

convention. Not to tie everything back to the convention.

35:59

I thought it was a quiz. forget we were sitting there at one point

36:01

and someone said something

36:04

we were talking about disambiguation pages

36:06

on Wikipedia. And someone's like,

36:08

Oh, hot, I'll make a good quiz, you know, disambiguation.

36:11

And we all kind of looked at each other. Meet me I

36:13

said that. It was it was Chris. Karen,

36:16

I looked at you Chris, we're like, that would make a good

36:18

quiz. Now, what is a Wikipedia

36:21

disambiguation page, you might ask if

36:23

you are not a colossal Wikipedia

36:25

nerd like myself, or Karen or Chris,

36:28

a Wikipedia disambiguation

36:31

page. I will use their own

36:33

words.

36:34

Oh, is there a page of Wikipedia

36:36

page

36:37

for their disambiguation page? Karen,

36:39

there is a sweet, there is a suite

36:42

of pages. I learned a lot just

36:44

about the meta workings

36:47

of Wikipedia. Suffice it to say that on

36:49

Wikipedia, in their own words, disambiguation

36:52

in Wikipedia is the process of resolving

36:55

conflicts that arise when a potential

36:58

article title is ambiguous. They

37:00

are disambiguating it, they're

37:02

making it less ambiguous. The

37:05

simplest concept wrap your head

37:07

around is famous people with the same name,

37:09

you know, so there's there's a lot of famous

37:11

John Smith, you know, and so you can write John

37:14

Smith disambiguation page, for instance, and

37:16

you're the right John Smith that

37:18

you're looking for different things with the same name,

37:21

different things with the same name, or very, very

37:23

similar names. That page is essentially

37:25

a big old list of did

37:28

you mean kind of thinking? All right.

37:31

I will give you two entries from

37:33

a given disambiguation page.

37:36

And you tell me what is

37:37

the term? What is the term that's the title

37:39

of this page? So for example,

37:41

if I were to give you these two entries

37:44

on this page,

37:46

a fictional character in children's

37:48

literature, and

37:50

a major railway station in London.

37:53

Oh, Karen, you might

37:55

guess this is what disambiguation page?

37:58

Paddington. You got it. That's

37:59

That's right. This is Paddington. And

38:02

there's a, not huge, but a list

38:04

of other things that you might be looking for, including

38:06

the famous bear, including

38:09

the railway station. In this particular

38:11

case, the main natural

38:14

page is for the area

38:17

of Westminster in London. Okay. Yes.

38:19

That's right. Not the bear. That's where all the

38:21

naming sort of comes from, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

38:23

yeah. So we're going to do this lightning

38:26

round style, I guess. Oh, okay. So

38:29

let's have some fun. Open your minds. Let it wash

38:31

over you. We'll start off easy. I'm going to give you

38:33

three terms, okay, from

38:35

the given disambiguation page. Okay.

38:38

Three. And then we're going to move into two here as the quiz gets a little

38:41

more challenging. All right. Get your buzzers ready.

38:43

Number one,

38:44

a robot superhero character,

38:46

a 1992 novel

38:48

by

38:50

Toni Morrison

38:52

and an NBA basketball

38:55

team. Wow. Wow.

38:57

Well, it's not beloved. Chris.

39:01

Jazz? Jazz. You got it. Okay.

39:04

All right. Okay. You got it. If

39:06

you guys are really struggling, I'll give you sort of the

39:08

more natural term, which in this case you didn't need,

39:11

and it would be a

39:12

style of music and its sub

39:14

genres. These are Wikipedia's terms.

39:16

These are Wikipedia's terms. What

39:18

were the three things again that you said?

39:19

A robot superhero character.

39:22

So in this case, they're referring to, of course, jazz

39:24

from the Transformers universe.

39:27

One of my personal favorite Transformers,

39:30

the very cool Porsche, voiced by

39:32

statman cruthers, of course, all time

39:34

great character. The 1992

39:37

novel by Toni Morrison, jazz, and

39:39

then the NBA basketball team. Utah jazz. That's

39:42

right. All right. So I think you got the concept. Here we go.

39:44

On to the next one. Number two,

39:47

an American alcoholic beverage

39:50

producer, a

39:52

hammerhead shark character

39:54

in the movie Finding

39:56

Nemo,

39:58

and a device.

39:59

Used to secure a screw

40:02

in a brittle material. Oh

40:04

Chris

40:06

and then eventually Karen. What do you got? I'm gonna go

40:08

with anchor. Yeah anchor you

40:10

40:13

American alcoholic beverage producer anchor

40:15

40:24

40:29

all right two for two here as a team, here we go a

40:32

Jonathan Richmond song

geocoxics

40:48

Road

40:51

runner it is Roadrunner.

40:53

Yes roadrunner. Good job. Good

40:55

job. And again This is a good example

40:58

of where on some of the entries on the Roadrunner

41:00

disambiguation page their road

41:03

runner two words Some of them are single

41:05

word but they're all kind of just lumped in together

41:07

because they know what you're looking for we're

41:09

gonna move to just two clues here two

41:11

clues only a

41:12

1927 film

41:15

by Fritz long Oh

41:17

and a fictional American

41:20

City in DC Comics Oh

41:24

41:47

girl East coaster a resident East

41:49

coaster Chris may have been exposed to this

41:52

Sugar company products more than

41:54

us West coasters. I'll give you a

41:56

third clue if you need it an international

41:59

pizza restaurant chain.

42:01

Oh, Domino.

42:04

Domino. You got it. Domino.

42:08

What about the game Domino? Well, I'm

42:10

sure that's on there too. There are many

42:12

entries on this page that would have been too easy

42:15

if I gave you that one. There's the comic book

42:17

character. You can go look

42:20

at Domino space. Yeah,

42:23

I almost put the Keira Knightley movie on I almost

42:25

did. I felt the quiz honestly, Karen's getting a

42:27

little movie heavy to be to be very frank with you.

42:29

But yep, the point of this quiz

42:32

is there are many, many, many options I could

42:34

have chosen. So it's how tricky do I want

42:36

to get? All right, here we go. Next

42:38

one. Hmm.

42:40

A private university in

42:42

Houston, Texas.

42:45

A mnemonic acronym relating

42:48

to treatment for soft tissue

42:50

injuries. Karen,

42:52

right away. This is rice.

42:55

You can say it it is rice.

42:58

Now, so for some bonus imaginary

43:01

points here, what is the acronym

43:03

rice? R I C

43:06

E. What does that stand for?

43:09

Red ice.

43:13

Yeah. Citrus on

43:15

there. Compress.

43:16

Elevation. Right. That's

43:19

right. Rest. I compression

43:21

elevation. That's right. Very,

43:24

very important to note. They do not

43:26

recommend this strategy anymore. They

43:29

do. Oh, yes. The

43:31

mnemonic was introduced by I'm quoting

43:34

here liberally from Wikipedia. Natch.

43:37

The mnemonic was introduced by Dr. Gabe

43:39

Merkin in 1978. He took back his

43:43

support of this regimen

43:46

in 2014 after learning of the role of inflammation

43:49

in the healing process. In

43:51

fact, the last three like rest is good.

43:53

Everyone agrees. Rest is good. Get off that get off that

43:55

ankle. But ice compression and

43:57

elevation all decrease swelling

43:59

and

43:59

pain, but they are not reliably

44:02

shown to heal the injury and they interfere

44:04

with inflammation, which you know, physicians

44:07

now understand has much more of a natural role in

44:10

your body's healing process. But this is

44:12

what rice stands for. And you may still hear

44:14

it or variations on it. That's right. Moving

44:17

right along. Next one. A 1997

44:19

film by Wolfgang Peterson, an athletic

44:25

shoe

44:27

made by Nike.

44:28

Okay, well, there's Air Max.

44:31

I like the way you're thinking though. It's not Jordan.

44:35

Monarch.

44:37

I can bail you out with the third one here. The call sign

44:39

for any US Air

44:44

Force aircraft carrying the President

44:47

of the United States. Oh, okay.

44:49

Air Force one. Air

44:51

Force one. Air Force

44:54

one.

44:55

Last one. Two clues here. Tell

44:57

me what is the disambiguation page I'm looking

44:59

for. The curling

45:01

venue at the 2014

45:04

Winter Olympics in Sochi,

45:07

Russia, an

45:09

American

45:09

rapper, actor,

45:12

and filmmaker. Karen.

45:15

Ice Cube? It is. The

45:19

curling venue was

45:22

the Ice Cube, rapper, actor,

45:24

and filmmaker. O'Shea Jackson. Ice

45:26

Cube himself. Good job. All right. Very

45:28

good. Very good. I could have chosen some easier ones.

45:31

But I think we all learned something. And

45:33

we all grew a little bit as a team. Well

45:35

done.

50:12

The National Trust of Wales would

50:46

really like you to stop

50:49

leaving socks on the beach

50:51

in Pembrokeshire, Wales, where

50:54

the movie version of this fictional

50:56

character died.

50:59

Once again, the National

51:01

Trust of Wales would really appreciate

51:04

it if you stop leaving socks

51:07

on the beach in Pembrokeshire,

51:10

Wales, where the movie version of this

51:12

fictional character died. Ooh,

51:16

Colin, this is a Chris question. This

51:19

is not a Colin's question. Okay, man.

51:22

All right, answers up please.

51:25

Okay. Okay,

51:27

let's go with Colin for his Colin put. Mr.

51:30

Toad, that's a good guess,

51:33

but Chris is correct with Dobby.

51:36

Dobby is a free elf when

51:38

you give him a piece of clothing.

51:42

And in Harry Potter's universe case,

51:45

Dobby was given a sock, therefore

51:47

he was freed. The Harry Potter

51:50

fans are leaving socks at this

51:52

one beach where they filmed

51:54

the scene where, you know, Dobby, even

51:57

though he CGI died. You

51:59

know.

51:59

You know, there's somebody there like with binoculars just

52:02

waiting. They see someone with a sock. They're like, oh, you

52:04

got to be kidding me. You get out of here. Or

52:07

the person who has to clean the beach is like, well, here's

52:09

two trash bags of socks. Like,

52:11

what do I, you know, what do I do with it?

52:14

We got one last question here. One last question.

52:16

We'll end it with an easy one. What word

52:18

means a small amount perhaps

52:21

originated from the word for baby

52:23

frogs? What

52:26

word means small amount

52:28

perhaps originated from

52:29

the word for baby frogs? If

52:32

you know the name for baby frogs,

52:35

well, you're in luck. All

52:37

right, Chris put

52:39

tad. Colin has tad question

52:41

mark. It is tad. A tad.

52:43

Just a tad. It doesn't make sense.

52:45

No, no, no definitive

52:48

origin.

52:49

Just people are guessing it's because we

52:51

call tadpoles like a tad,

52:54

a little, a little thin.

52:55

All right. Now. Yeah.

52:59

You've answered my quiz. Yes.

53:02

The answer is in front of you. Is there a

53:04

theme? Can you kind of suss out a

53:06

theme?

53:07

OK, so all right. So Chris,

53:09

I'm looking at these answers and a lot of them sure

53:12

seem to me like they could be names

53:15

as well as things. We got breathe dot

53:18

kit. Robin, Ted,

53:20

Daisy, Ginger.

53:23

It was like women's names for a while.

53:25

And then we got to Dobby. And

53:27

we had sort of took a hot left

53:30

turn there. Agreed.

53:37

I mean, like are these cartoon characters

53:39

from the same universe or like a related,

53:42

I don't know, comic book series or something

53:45

close? They

53:47

are

53:47

names. Yeah, right. OK.

53:50

Specifically,

53:51

all of these answers, they're

53:54

diminutive nickname versions

53:56

of proper names.

53:59

Oh, okay.

54:02

You might not know that some of these names,

54:04

you know, you've heard of them as names, but

54:06

they're

54:06

actually a nickname or a shortened

54:08

nickname for a longer proper.

54:11

All right, run us through it here. All right. Top to bottom.

54:13

Yeah, okay. Wow. Okay.

54:15

Daisy's the most interesting one.

54:17

So I had no idea Daisy was a

54:19

nickname for Margaret.

54:23

I swear Margaret has the most

54:25

obscure nicknames attached to it.

54:28

Like you get from

54:29

Margaret to Peggy, like somehow. I'm

54:31

like, what? Come on. There is an explanation.

54:33

It is beautiful.

54:34

It is because Margaret in

54:37

French

54:38

is Daisy.

54:42

Wow. Okay. And then we got

54:44

Dot.

54:45

And

54:47

then Kit.

54:48

Catherine.

54:49

Christopher. Catherine.

54:51

Yeah. Then

54:54

Bri. Wow.

54:55

Like Brianna? Or like... Brianna,

54:58

but Bridget. Bridget. Bridget.

55:02

Then Ginger. Virginia.

55:06

Oh, okay.

55:08

Sure. Robin.

55:10

Like Robert.

55:11

Robert is the source of Robin

55:14

and Dobby. Dobby is

55:16

a nickname for Robert.

55:18

Wow. Interesting. Real

55:21

old-timey, I'm guessing. Rob.

55:24

Robby. Bob. Bobby.

55:27

Dobby, apparently. Burt. Ernie.

55:32

It's because there were only four names, like in the

55:34

community. They all had to have, you know, find

55:36

ways. Yeah. And then Tad. What

55:39

was that? Theodore,

55:41

I think.

55:42

Yep. Theodore. Oh, I like that.

55:45

So what inspired this quiz was

55:49

listeners. We have a listener group on

55:51

Facebook that the fans and

55:53

listeners started. It's called Good Job Brain

55:55

Lobe

55:56

Trotters. A lot of listeners are in this

55:58

Facebook group. We share stories.

55:59

share quizzes, share facts. Someone

56:03

shared this fact, a sport fact.

56:04

The Major League Baseball MLB Home Run

56:07

record for brothers for brothers

56:09

is held by Henry

56:11

Aaron and Tommy

56:13

Aaron. Henry Aaron with 755

56:16

home runs.

56:17

Tommy Aaron with 13.

56:21

And I was like, Oh, wow, 755. That's a

56:23

lot of home

56:25

runs. How come I've never heard of

56:27

Henry Aaron?

56:29

And I turned around, I asked my

56:31

husband the baseball nut. I was like,

56:34

did you know that the MLB Home Run

56:36

record for brothers is held by and before

56:38

I could finish the sentence, he's like, Oh,

56:40

yeah, Hank Aaron and

56:41

Tommy Aaron.

56:44

In that split second, my

56:47

mind imploded.

56:48

As you

56:51

realize, for the first time, I'm 41

56:54

years old. And I did not know

Hank is a nickname

56:59

for Henry. Yeah. Oh, man. Anyways,

57:04

good job, everybody. And

57:07

that's Hold on, hold on. Before

57:09

we before we end the show, I just want to plug

57:12

my day job a little bit here. We released

57:14

not one, but two video games, one of which

57:16

I was the editorial director on and

57:19

wrote the whole thing and like directed all the videos

57:21

and everything. And it's called the making of

57:23

karateka. And it is an interactive

57:26

documentary video game all

57:28

about the landmark game karateka,

57:31

which is released in 1984. And basically,

57:33

even if you've never heard of the game, the whole idea

57:36

is that it's playing a documentary, we

57:37

tell you about the story of the game, you

57:39

like use audio and video and playable

57:42

game snippets and stuff like that to like

57:44

tell this

57:45

very, very cool behind the scenes story of

57:47

this game. I feel like if you like good job brain

57:49

and you play video games, you should really check

57:52

this out. Because it's very much

57:54

like did you know this and did you know that and rave

57:56

reviews from everybody who

57:59

is looking at it and playing it. If you

58:01

were watching like a documentary film about

58:03

a video game, you'd be thinking like, oh, I wish I could like

58:05

try the game a little bit to like experience

58:07

what these people are talking about. Best way to tell

58:10

the story is to do it in an interactive game. It's

58:13

on PCs, it's on Nintendo Switch, Xbox,

58:15

PlayStation. Yeah, check that out. And then also,

58:17

if you want something that's more of a straightforward thing,

58:20

we just released a Wizardry, Proving Grounds

58:22

of the Mad Overlord. It's a total 3D

58:24

remake of the game, the early

58:27

role-playing game, Wizardry, which was originally

58:29

for the Apple II. And

58:31

it's-

58:31

It's like lines. It was just

58:33

lines before. It was just

58:35

lines before, and now it's full-on pictures.

58:38

So check them out if that sounds like your thing.
