1:53

Dot. Com. Or

1:56

right. let's

1:58

begin Here

2:00

is your first

2:03

trivia time question. True

2:08

or false? The

2:11

word nerd first

2:14

appeared in a book by

2:16

Dr. Seuss. True

2:21

or false? The

2:23

word nerd first

2:26

appeared in a book by

2:28

Dr. Seuss. The

2:32

answer is, it is

2:35

true that the

2:38

word nerd first

2:40

appeared in a book by Dr.

2:42

Seuss. It

2:44

was in his

2:47

1950 book if

2:49

I ran this through. Now,

2:53

a wording of this means

2:57

that the word I

2:59

have already existed, and

3:01

Dr. Seuss was just the first one

3:03

to imprint. Next

3:09

question. True

3:12

or false? The

3:15

quack from a duck doesn't

3:18

create an echo. True

3:23

or false? The

3:26

quack from a duck does

3:29

not create an echo. The

3:34

answer is, it is

3:38

false that the

3:40

quack from a duck doesn't create an echo.

3:45

And this was simply

3:48

disproven by

3:50

some researchers who

3:52

just stuck a duck in

3:55

a room That was

3:57

really echoey. Are

4:09

are really worried. That.

4:13

If you go up in nature. Can.

4:17

Produce an echo of a

4:19

boy. Sky.

4:25

Sky Us. Talkies:

4:34

Last. Year.

5:01

Was. The first marched to toss.

5:04

Up them with a problem. Was.

5:10

The first mark. Help

5:14

them. With. Problem.

5:18

The. Answer is. Candy.

5:22

When. It first came out. Why?

5:25

Stark. Help

5:29

them. Were

5:37

Peppermint. I've heard. That

5:39

much about. Aircraft.

5:44

They were also. Marked. Smoking.

5:53

That. Weird.

5:57

Strange name and. then

6:04

Where did the name PES for

6:07

PES Candy come

6:09

from? There

6:14

was an hint in

6:16

the prior question and

6:19

it had to do with the flavor of

6:22

the candy. The

6:25

answer is, the

6:28

name PES came

6:31

from the German word for

6:35

peppermint, which was

6:37

the flavor. The German

6:39

word for peppermint is

6:43

peppermints. That

6:47

doesn't really help in a

6:49

way, but P

6:52

in PES is the

6:54

first letter of the

6:57

peppermint. The E

7:00

is taken from the middle of that word and

7:03

the C is the

7:05

last letter of the

7:08

peppermint. Next

7:12

question, in

7:15

what country was

7:18

golf invented? The

7:27

answer is, golf

7:31

was invented in

7:33

Scotland. Next

7:36

question, which

7:39

country has the

7:41

most golf courses

7:44

per capita? Which

7:47

country has the

7:49

most golf courses

7:52

per capita? So

7:55

what that means is, which

7:58

country has the most golf courses per capita? golf

8:00

courses per person.

8:05

So a smaller country

8:07

could have an advantage in this situation.

8:12

The answer is Scotland,

8:16

of course. Because

8:19

that's where golf was invented.

8:23

And they have lots of

8:25

beautiful green areas for

8:28

golf. But

8:30

I also looked up the

8:32

top five countries. So

8:36

if you said any of these other

8:39

countries, then give

8:42

yourself a point. The

8:45

top five countries for

8:47

golf courses per capita is

8:51

number one Scotland, number

8:54

two is New Zealand,

8:58

number three is Australia,

9:02

number four is

9:05

Ireland, and

9:07

number five is

9:09

Canada. All

9:12

right, enough golf

9:14

questions. Next question.

9:20

The unicorn is

9:23

the official animal of what

9:25

country? The

9:30

unicorn is the

9:32

official animal of what country?

9:38

The answer is the

9:41

unicorn is the

9:43

official animal. Of

9:46

Scotland. Yep,

9:50

Scotland once again. Next

9:54

question. The

9:57

raincoat was invented.

10:00

In what country? The

10:04

raincoat was

10:06

invented in

10:08

what country? The

10:12

answer is, the raincoat

10:15

was invented in

10:18

Scotland. Good

10:22

for you if you saw

10:25

that coming from a mile away. But

10:29

I swear, there are

10:31

no more Scotland questions.

10:35

The name of the man

10:38

who invented the

10:40

raincoat was Charles

10:44

Mackintosh. And

10:46

he started a company called

10:49

like Mackintosh Raincoats or something like

10:52

that. And it's

10:54

still around today. I

10:57

chatted about it on my

11:00

other podcast, Calm History. Next

11:04

question. Where

11:08

is the driest

11:10

place on Earth? Where

11:15

is the driest

11:18

place on Earth? And

11:21

no, it is not Scotland.

11:27

No, no, no. And

11:30

this one is really hard. I've

11:34

never heard of this place. The

11:38

answer is, the driest

11:41

place on Earth is

11:44

Calama in the

11:46

Atacama desert in

11:48

Chile. Now,

11:51

surprisingly, this

11:53

isn't even on the equator. Chile,

11:58

in this desert. is

12:01

in the lower west

12:03

coast of South America.

12:08

It receives less

12:11

than one millimeter

12:14

of precipitation each year in

12:17

some areas of this desert. Haven't

12:21

even seen a drop of rain

12:24

in more than 500 years. You

12:29

can also give yourself

12:31

a point if

12:33

you said the South Pole or

12:35

the North Pole because

12:38

sometimes the poles can

12:41

also go a

12:43

very long time without

12:46

getting any precipitation. Next

12:50

question. True

12:53

or false? After

12:57

being picked, a

12:59

strawberry does not

13:01

continue to ripen. True

13:06

or false? After

13:09

being picked, a

13:11

strawberry does not continue

13:13

to ripen. The

13:17

answer is, it is

13:19

true. After

13:22

being picked, a

13:24

strawberry does not continue to

13:26

ripen. This

13:30

is also true for

13:33

blackberries and

13:35

raspberries. Next

13:39

question. True

13:43

or false? After

13:46

being picked, an

13:48

orange does not

13:50

continue to ripen. True

13:56

or false? After

13:58

being picked, The.

14:06

Answer is. There.

14:09

Is also. True. Orange.

14:20

Class True. For.

14:22

The others. I.

14:29

Get grapefruit. You.

14:32

Can even. The.

14:34

Pineapple. A

14:44

pineapple. After

14:48

blocking. Our

14:52

you gather a pineapple. Next

14:56

question. Do.

15:01

You have you been? Through.

15:11

Your week. right?

15:18

Right and. They.

15:27

Did after being. You.

15:35

Know if you know. Looked at with great

15:37

the route. And else.

15:39

remember. Any

15:47

questions about winning over?

15:56

Cherries. and watermelon

16:00

Also don't continue to ripen after

16:02

you pick them. All

16:04

right? No more

16:07

ripening questions. Next

16:11

question. How

16:15

long is a

16:17

galactic year? How

16:22

long is

16:24

a galactic year? Now,

16:28

if you're like me, you

16:31

may not have any idea what the

16:33

heck a galactic year

16:35

is. A

16:38

galactic year is

16:41

the time it takes for

16:43

our solar system to make

16:47

one revolution around

16:49

the Milky Way galaxy. So

16:52

that's why it's called a galactic year.

16:56

That's how long we basically take to

16:59

go around the Milky Way galaxy, which

17:03

I didn't even realize was a thing.

17:07

I don't know much about space. All

17:12

right, the answer is a

17:15

galactic year is 250

17:21

million Earth years. So

17:25

it's 250 million years. Yousra,

17:30

so now that you know that, you

17:33

can use that to

17:35

be really dramatic about something. Hey,

17:41

you told me you were going to pick me up at

17:43

2 p.m. I've been

17:45

waiting here a galactic year. Just

17:51

slip that in casually somehow into

17:53

some conversation tomorrow. Next

17:59

question. A

18:02

singer, Paula Abdul,

18:05

used to be a cheerleader for

18:08

what professional sports team? A

18:12

singer, Paula Abdul,

18:15

used to be a cheerleader for

18:17

what professional sports team?

18:22

And your first hint is

18:24

that it's either an NFL

18:26

team or an

18:29

NBA team? Your

18:32

next hint is that

18:34

it is an NBA team,

18:37

which means professional basketball. And

18:42

think Kareem

18:44

Abdul Jabbar and

18:47

Magic Johnson. Think

18:51

West Coast, California.

18:55

The answer is the

18:58

singer, Paula Abdul, used

19:00

to be a cheerleader for

19:02

the Los Angeles Lakers. Next

19:07

question. How

19:10

much does

19:12

water expand when

19:15

it freezes? How

19:18

much does water expand

19:22

when it freezes? And

19:24

I'll give you some percents to

19:26

choose from. Is

19:29

it 1%, 3%, 6% or 9%? The

19:41

answer is water

19:44

expands 9% when

19:47

it freezes. If

19:52

you picked a lower

19:54

percent, yeah, I

19:57

would have also. A

20:03

lot more than. I would have a.

20:11

In a while year. I've

20:14

been invented. And.

20:17

One year. And.

20:23

21:52

shown. obvious

22:00

question, the

22:02

first toilet ever seen on television appeared on what

22:05

TV show? And here are your hints.

22:15

The father's name was Ward,

22:17

the mother's name was June, and the weird neighbor kid, his

22:19

name was Eddie Haskell. The answer

22:21

is, the first toilet to appear on television

22:24

was on

22:34

the TV show, Leave It to Beaver. Next question, what percent

22:37

of US pumpkins are grown for decoration?

22:44

The answer is, 98% of US pumpkins are grown

22:46

for decoration. The answer is 98% of

22:48

US pumpkins are grown for

22:51

decoration. The answer is 98% of

22:53

US pumpkins are grown for decoration. So

23:04

yeah, just 2% are used for food. The answer

23:06

is, 98% of US pumpkins are

23:09

grown for decoration. Next

23:19

question, true or false? If

23:21

all the cars from the United States were taken and lined up, umber

23:31

to bumper, there would

23:33

be enough cars to go to the moon and back to

23:35

earth. True or false? If all the cars from the US were taken

23:38

and aligned, the

23:47

answer is, 98% of US pumpkins are grown for

23:49

decoration. The answer

23:51

is, 98% of US pumpkins are grown for

23:54

decoration. This

24:02

is true. Yeah,

24:05

there would be enough cars to

24:07

go bumper to bumper to the moon and back.

24:11

Next question. The

24:14

elephant is the

24:17

national animal of

24:19

what country? The

24:22

elephant is the

24:24

national animal of

24:26

what country? It

24:29

is not Scotland. Your

24:32

hint is that

24:35

it is an Asian elephant specifically.

24:38

And I think this could be a little hard,

24:41

so I'll be impressed if you get it. But

24:44

it is in Asia. The

24:47

answer is the

24:50

elephant is the

24:52

national animal of

24:54

Thailand. Next

24:58

question. What

25:01

is the national animal of

25:04

Canada? What

25:07

is the national animal of

25:10

Canada? I'll

25:12

give you four words as

25:14

an end. Here

25:16

you go. Water.

25:22

Man. Hail.

25:27

Trees. Maybe

25:30

that helped. The

25:32

answer is the

25:35

national animal of Canada

25:38

is the beaver. Next

25:42

question. What

25:45

country has the

25:47

squirrel as their

25:50

national animal? What

25:53

country has the

25:55

squirrel as their

25:58

national animal? And

26:00

no, it's not the country of Harris and

26:03

his podcast. The

26:08

answer is the

26:11

country that has the squirrel as

26:14

their national animal is

26:17

Denmark. And

26:19

it is the red squirrel specifically.

26:24

Next question. True

26:28

or false? There's

26:31

a Canadian door company that

26:34

offers a two-day

26:36

course in a igloo

26:39

building. True

26:42

or false? There's

26:44

a Canadian door company that

26:47

offers a two-day course in

26:49

a igloo building. The

26:53

answer is this

26:57

is true. Yeah, sure, why not?

27:00

There's a Canadian door company that

27:03

offers a two-day course in

27:06

a igloo building. I'd

27:08

take that. That sounds

27:10

fun. Old,

27:13

but fun. Next

27:17

question. Gary

27:20

cows produce

27:22

about 30 gallons of what reload I

27:24

put on. Gary

27:28

cows produce

27:30

about 30 gallons of what reload a

27:32

day? The

27:39

answer is Gary

27:42

cows produce about 30

27:44

gallons of

27:48

saliva. Yeah,

27:52

that's a lot of saliva. Now,

27:57

if you guessed urine. or

28:00

milk. I'm gonna

28:02

get to that next question.

28:08

How many gallons of urine a

28:10

day do dairy

28:12

cows produce? How

28:16

many gallons of

28:18

urine a day do

28:21

dairy cows produce? If

28:24

they produce 30 gallons of saliva,

28:28

what do you think about how much urine they

28:30

produce? The

28:32

answer is... dairy

28:35

cows produce about

28:38

8 gallons of urine a

28:40

day. Yeah,

28:43

I would have guessed more than that. Because

28:46

they're so big and

28:49

they make so much saliva. Next

28:54

question. How

28:57

many gallons of milk a day do dairy

29:01

cows produce? How

29:04

many gallons of milk a day

29:07

do dairy cows

29:09

produce? So

29:11

they make 30 gallons of saliva, 8

29:15

gallons of urine. The

29:19

answer is... dairy

29:21

cows produce about

29:24

7 gallons of milk a day. So

29:29

they make about equal amounts

29:31

of urine and milk a day.

29:36

Hey, these are fun facts. Next

29:42

question. Which

29:46

vegetable has the

29:48

most sugar per 100 grams? Which

29:55

vegetable has

29:57

the most sugar per 100 grams? for

30:00

100 grams. And

30:04

I have two answers here. So,

30:08

hopefully you'll guess one of them.

30:12

The answer is the

30:15

vegetable with the most

30:17

sugar for 100 grams is

30:21

the sweet potato or

30:24

the sugar beet. Next

30:29

question. True

30:32

or false? Smelling

30:35

bananas will help

30:37

a person to lose weight. True

30:43

or false? Smelling

30:46

bananas will help a

30:48

person to lose weight. The

30:53

answer is S

30:57

is true. Well, maybe.

31:01

There was a research study that did

31:03

show that people who

31:05

smelled bananas when they

31:08

were hungry lost more

31:10

weight as compared to

31:12

those who didn't smell

31:14

bananas. So,

31:16

there's at least one research study that

31:19

shows this. And

31:23

now for your

31:25

last question. True

31:29

or false? Smelling

31:32

green apples will

31:34

help a person to lose weight.

31:39

True or

31:41

false? Smelling

31:43

green apples will

31:45
