## Transcript

[0:01] Welcome to. Are you quizzing me?
[0:03] I'm very tired with my co-host, Aditya kashyap.
[0:06] This is a quizzing trivia podcast show, where we ask each
[0:09] other questions, and share what we know and learn with you,
[0:12] though, in a quizzing format, it's not competitive.
[0:14] The questions are simply a way of sharing, our love of trivia.
[0:17] So sit back, relax and join us as we explore the depths of
[0:20] human knowledge. Here's the format, we ask each
[0:23] other questions alternatingly as many as time permits, while
[0:26] giving as many Clues is needed to help each other get to The
[0:30] answer. Let's get quizzing.
[0:34] Come back, everyone. It's another day, another
[0:36] episode of are you quizzing? Me.
[0:40] And as usual before we start with our spacing, for this
[0:42] episode, we have to answer the question that are the Jeff, but
[0:45] to all of us last week, the type of a question this time but are
[0:51] they, they are. You do remember that you had
[0:52] asked our audience is, if the RAF boys were called the
[0:56] Brylcreem boys, what does the voice of the Indian Air Force
[1:00] called? So, I have thought about this
[1:03] long and hard And I believe they would be called the Harbour
[1:08] Hawaii is and that is simply because they are in the air a
[1:12] lot of time and they're cool. Like the song was and catchy
[1:16] like the Saudis. So it is how eyes of of the
[1:21] Indian pop culture and that is the answer that I spent a week
[1:28] contemplating and I believe that should probably get me cancel.
[1:31] So just for our listeners last insult.
[1:34] Bond. I think somebody drop a bomb on
[1:39] a house. Yeah.
[1:40] A Target is headed my way as soon as that.
[1:50] Would be a fair response. Yes.
[1:53] Ready. Okay.
[1:55] With that out of our wave and a DJ counting down the time till
[1:59] he dies from a Bomb Blast to pick from the Air Force.
[2:03] I think I did a good job. Your doctor can start of the
[2:05] proceedings this week, okay? All right, so this week, I'm
[2:10] doing some of my favorite trivia, which again might be on
[2:14] the easiest side but it's just trivia that I've always loved.
[2:18] So let's talk with something from the world of Cinema, okay?
[2:24] The California Institute of Arts has a very famous Room that has
[2:33] been referenced in multiple movies, which room is this and
[2:37] how has it been referenced. Okay, I don't remember the room
[2:43] number of, but it's Pixar, right?
[2:47] If I'm not mistaken Pixar references, that room the room
[2:50] number in their movies, but I is, it 311 or no, for some
[2:54] reason, I'm just the call. You're very, very close.
[2:56] It is a 113, so A113. So a lot of Pixar fans would
[3:02] know that that is a common Easter egg in all their movies.
[3:07] It's been the license plate number.
[3:10] In some movies or it's the code on a cereal box in?
[3:13] I believe Bug's Life. Yeah, so there are a bunch of
[3:17] interesting such Easter eggs. And what I love about this
[3:21] Easter egg is that it references to their alma mater for a lot of
[3:24] the Pixar stalwarts. And the fact that they graduated
[3:31] from California Institute of the Arts, there was a classroom used
[3:34] by the graphic design and character animation students.
[3:37] So the bunch of them from Who said that, including John
[3:42] Lasseter Brad Bird. Just wanted to put this little
[3:45] Easter Egg and I love that will get aside.
[3:49] Nice, nice. It is, it's a, it's a, it's a
[3:51] very famous piece of trivia, I believe it is a lot of Easter
[3:58] eggs. They have this habit of putting
[3:59] Easter eggs of their upcoming movies.
[4:01] Also in the current Words, which, which makes it so much
[4:04] more interesting because then you get to look back and be
[4:08] like, oh my God, they had already had This and design kind
[4:10] of cool. Yeah the I think was it that I
[4:15] don't remember but I think it was Dan Brown who was also hit
[4:18] close to his next books in the covers of I think DaVinci Code
[4:22] had a clue about the next book or something in the hidden in
[4:25] the cover artwork or something. I don't remember.
[4:28] But yeah Easter eggs I have a lot of fun.
[4:31] I will fact check that but that sounds like a pretty cool is
[4:33] right here. Yeah.
[4:35] And James Gunn also has done the same thing, but I think he is
[4:38] his Easter eggs are still not. Completely been dug up yet.
[4:42] Fans are still pursuing. He says that a lot of
[4:44] instructors. He put in Guardians of the
[4:45] Galaxy S2 not, you know, being identified interesting.
[4:50] Everything that speaking of Easter eggs, you cannot forget
[4:53] the king Quentin Tarantino the man who literally wants to tie
[4:58] in every movie to every other movie and every character to
[5:01] every other character. So yeah, well, that's a lovely
[5:05] little, common piece of trivia, but something I thought we
[5:07] should ask once, you know, definitely don't even definitely
[5:09] there. There's nothing common about it.
[5:11] It's just, you know, I was lucky enough to know it.
[5:14] So, it seems like a, is an easy, all right?
[5:19] Okay, so my question, I'm going to shift to Sports in India.
[5:24] A sports League made its debut season in 2012 with teams named
[5:30] the Potala Silverbacks, the Kolkata wipers, The Pune
[5:36] murata's the Navi Mumbai Sabers and the Bangalore warhawks which
[5:42] pot I'm going to save volleyball.
[5:46] No. Okay no idea, I need a clue.
[5:50] I was just guessing. Okay.
[5:52] So let's just say that it's not an Indian game at all like you
[5:55] wouldn't expect this game in India at all.
[5:59] Okay. Could you repeat some of the
[6:01] names? Okay, yeah, definitely.
[6:04] So the team Games included the patiala Silverbacks, the Kolkata
[6:09] wipers, the Poonam murata's the Navi Mumbai Sabers and the
[6:14] Bangalore warhawks. Frankly much better names than
[6:18] any of the IPL names that we have.
[6:20] I really love the names here. Yeah I wow I have no clue at
[6:27] all. I would need a clue then I guess
[6:28] here and this sounds like a great names but have no idea
[6:30] what the yes. Okay so I'm going to give you 12
[6:33] the name of the Spot It Itself has a country's name and it's
[6:36] that should kind of give you what it is.
[6:39] The name of the sport. Has a country's name in it.
[6:43] Yeah, American football. Yes, it is American football, ho
[6:48] ho, wow. Okay, then just another American
[6:51] Football League here that actually, you know, because you
[6:55] said all of these animals and the names, it sounded very much
[6:58] like our American football team names because they also have a
[7:01] bunch of animals in their names are but a tell me more so be.
[7:05] It is the elite elite football league of India Arie Fli and it
[7:10] was announced with much fanfare and some high profile names
[7:13] attached to it. The aibileen league enjoyed the
[7:16] backing of Super Bowl. Winning coach Mike Ditka.
[7:19] So we write data and support from Sports investor and
[7:23] Hollywood actor. Mark Wahlberg, its owners were a
[7:28] mixture of nris an American businessman, and in the summer
[7:31] of 2012, the first you fli season was played filmed and
[7:35] aired on ten sports with Emmy Award winning football.
[7:39] Is Sandy Grossman of the hell and the fight song was written
[7:42] by three time Grammy Award winner, Adonis.
[7:45] But the fact of the matter is after I think its first two
[7:48] seasons, it just kind of disappear dissipative into the
[7:52] wind, they had planned to have. I think, if I'm not mistaken
[7:57] matches also held in Sri Lanka and parts of India as well.
[8:01] But towards our second season, it just fell apart because
[8:05] American football in India is not up.
[8:08] Of course that can't have been eating the early English.
[8:11] We were ruled by the English learner, what 200 300 years and
[8:15] we still haven't picked up Runge.
[8:17] So I'd be very surprised if you manage to pick up American
[8:20] football. I don't know there are many
[8:23] examples of sports which country has literally put their stamp
[8:27] on. Like I can't imagine any other
[8:29] countries is being like, I don't know Malaysian carom.
[8:32] Like it's just so interesting. The Americans are like, you know
[8:36] what? I know what your football.
[8:38] But here's my version and let me call that the World Series.
[8:43] And and that's, that's the other thing, they always better when
[8:45] it comes to the NBA or the you know, American football or
[8:50] baseball. They always follow the World
[8:51] Series, right? Yeah.
[8:53] And it's never, it's never the World Series and silicon
[8:56] systematic and theme playing. How was it the words?
[9:00] Quite literally, nobody outside of United States of America
[9:03] cares about one very comfortable.
[9:08] Oh, well, I guess that's what it means to be a superpower.
[9:11] You just get to do what you want to put your stamp on name on
[9:14] games and say that's the one. Yeah, yeah, you can name your
[9:18] game after a football. Like you can name it football
[9:21] without actually having to, you know, play with your feet.
[9:24] And you can play it like rugby, but with a form where you
[9:28] actually wear helmets and shoulder pads in this, you do
[9:35] that. India should just take like ice
[9:37] hockey but because you don't have a lot of space where you
[9:40] could do ice hockey in. So it is going to put it inside
[9:44] a small room and with our fingers will basically I'm
[9:47] describing khadem. Then I guess so, Indian ice
[9:53] hockey's carom it's going to call it Mike.
[9:59] Shin migration? Yeah, you know what do the folds
[10:06] in a chef's talk? Represent the folds in a chef's
[10:12] talktalk. I'm not sure how that is
[10:13] pronounced with the chef's. How do you spell it?
[10:15] The shift that okey dokey? Zo Q UE.
[10:19] Okay, talk. Okay.
[10:20] Okay. What do the fours in a chef's
[10:23] hat? So it has like 100 folds.
[10:26] What does what does that represent?
[10:28] I would think so. Something to do with the
[10:31] experience or the years of service or something.
[10:36] All right, I guess. Maybe if I can always assume
[10:38] that if we need doesn't know it, then probably it isn't as
[10:41] common, a piece of trivia. So, you know, that's not the
[10:43] right answer. I assumed it was very common but
[10:46] perhaps it isn't. Okay.
[10:48] No, that's not the right answer. Now that we know my first guess
[10:51] that, you know, when you have, you know, more clear more
[10:54] pleats, or whatever, or before. So, you had some wonderful
[10:56] that's a wonderful guest, this wonderful?
[10:58] Yes, but now is not the right answer.
[10:59] Now, That now. Okay.
[11:01] Okay. So no, you have to give me some
[11:04] kind of clue so it has to do obviously, with cooking and a
[11:09] very common ingredient in the kitchen.
[11:11] How many ingredients in the kitchen?
[11:14] Now, the first thing that comes to mind, when you say ingredient
[11:16] in the kitchen and the chef's hat is you seen those a
[11:22] Teppanyaki Grill chefs, right? Who remember things about right
[11:26] in front of you, and they do kind of Thing with eggs and
[11:30] everything where they will toss up an egg in and catch it with
[11:32] your cap. Yep.
[11:34] Maybe you and same thing with the another, yeah, they do the X
[11:36] mostly. But obviously, I believe that
[11:40] due to the bunch of ingredients with the eggs.
[11:41] Definitely. Yeah, they do it with like a
[11:48] shrimp as well. I've seen that happen and seen
[11:51] that ran into the Hat. The Hat, I believe that could
[11:58] make the shrimp and usable but Because it's okay.
[12:03] So, let's see. Okay, I'm thinking of that movie
[12:07] Julia and me with the scene, where Julia Child is just
[12:10] chopping onions. No.
[12:14] I mean, like, how would I would that make sense?
[12:15] Like, it's onions and butter mixture itself?
[12:18] Common ingredient know, you'll have to give me something.
[12:20] What. Sorry?
[12:22] Okay. So you were very close with
[12:24] actually your guess earlier so I would I would just point you
[12:28] back to where you came. I'm from eggs eggs, eggs is
[12:33] where you are at. Yeah.
[12:35] Any anyway, you gonna just wrap up that answer and tied up with
[12:41] a neat little bow for me eggs, okay?
[12:44] They know how to weight the number of folds differ among
[12:49] chefs are is the same across share.
[12:51] The it's supposed to be a hundred folds in the traditional
[12:55] chefs today. Okay?
[12:58] What's a hundred ways to make eggs or something?
[13:02] Bang on nothing more that I could ask for?
[13:04] It is 100 100 supposed to. Is that you can make an egg.
[13:09] So, 100 different recipes to cook an egg is what the
[13:12] hundredfold represent. Okay?
[13:15] So we do something again pil. But as co-owner chefs took after
[13:22] you learn to prepare eggs, 100, I supposed to have mastered, the
[13:27] hundred different ways and that is what what entitles you and
[13:30] the it represents the Mastery of all these hundred different ways
[13:33] and interestingly enough, I don't know if anybody seen the
[13:35] movie, but here's a shot out. The huh?
[13:37] Hundred-Foot Journey. It's again, we based off of
[13:41] importantly, it's this Indian family which moves to some place
[13:46] in France, I believe, and the Sun, and some point in the film.
[13:52] I think he's tested for his skills in the kitchen and he's
[13:57] asked to prepare a simple egg, I believe, and he's told that if
[14:04] you can Master, this one little thing you Perhaps do have some
[14:09] skill in the kitchen, so goes to show and especially perhaps in
[14:13] the French World of cooking which is highly influential, as
[14:19] we all know, and cooking world. They do Prestige the egg a lot.
[14:24] And the number of ways that you can cook them and and there are,
[14:28] I mean, take it, it's not easy to make a good egg is, is
[14:31] deceptively difficult. You would think it's very easy.
[14:35] I just think that Nobody, who is who is struggling to hard with
[14:40] an egg is perhaps being slightly foolish because at the end of
[14:44] the day, any ruined recipe, or if egg basically becomes a
[14:48] scrambled egg. So it doesn't matter what you
[14:50] try to do you. There is no way that you're
[14:54] going to mess up a an egg. Bhurji it is just put it on,
[14:59] that's just one recipe. Try making a poached egg, you
[15:02] know, the perfect poached egg in water.
[15:05] The classical way. My God.
[15:08] If any of you are you are, you are missing missing the whole
[15:11] point. Or you don't tell people what
[15:14] recipe going to make you tells. If you're making an egg and
[15:17] whatever you try, if you mess it up, you tell a dozen scrambled
[15:20] egg. You listen and not making it
[15:21] easy. Okay?
[15:26] Okay. Okay.
[15:27] Great good. I love the pivot to food are
[15:29] also do something with food, okay?
[15:32] So this French pastry is made from puff pastry.
[15:37] You know what puff pastry is right?
[15:38] It's a laminated dough similar to the do that used to make
[15:42] cross all. But without the addition of
[15:45] yeast. Okay this pastries original
[15:48] French name translates to palm tree leaf, palm tree leaf and is
[15:55] known by many other names translations, including pig's
[15:58] ear, Palm heart or elephant ear. Okay, this phase free is very
[16:06] well known in India but I have different name.
[16:10] Okay, what's the name that you would know why?
[16:15] I know it by in India? Okay, French basis.
[16:22] There are quite a few, my first instinct, obviously was a corn
[16:25] saw but that is something to do with the Crescent shape I
[16:30] believe and not. Yeah.
[16:31] Anything to do with yours. Yes.
[16:33] It's this starting material is the same, okay?
[16:37] Now, the starting material is the same but don't mistake it to
[16:40] be, you know, very similar to what a possum would end up
[16:46] looking like even though it's made from puff pastry, Sure,
[16:51] because you would, I would point you to think more of like a
[16:54] biscuit, like, consistency rather than a flaky croissant,
[16:59] like, consistency. I see.
[17:01] And you said it, the original French name is palm leaf,
[17:06] translates to palm tree leaf. There are trillions in other
[17:12] countries which the translations of which include pigs here.
[17:17] Calm heart or elephant. Here, I'm trying to think of a
[17:23] shape with means, like a palm tree leaf.
[17:25] Elephant ear pig's ear here. Arm heart, or elephant here.
[17:33] Hmm, so I can't think of something with jumps out,
[17:36] immediately. What can I ask, perhaps?
[17:42] Which part of India is famous in or something along those lines.
[17:46] Okay, everywhere wasn't. If you've lived.
[17:49] Sighs 20, 25 years any time in India and if you had access to a
[17:53] television, you know this hmm. Interesting.
[17:57] So television. So is it got to do with the TV?
[18:01] Show will give you an additional clue.
[18:05] It is famously marketed by Britannia under a very, very
[18:10] popular brand name. That's the brand name is
[18:12] practically what I'm looking for Britannia.
[18:17] Isn't little hearts. So it is a little hard and just
[18:28] for the sake of the audience, if you just elaborate this
[18:31] particular pastry originated in French Algeria, it's called a
[18:35] balmy air which is short for fear.
[18:38] They probably are or palm tree leaves its French pastry in the
[18:43] pump leave or a butterfly-shaped.
[18:46] And it was invented in the beginning of the 20th century,
[18:48] it is known as palmeiras in Spain where there and they are
[18:52] topped with honey in the Puerto Rican version in Mexico and
[18:55] other Latin American countries, they have known as orejas or
[18:57] years in China. They are known as butterfly.
[19:00] Pastries in Greece, they are known as little glasses in
[19:04] German leader called pigs here. In Italy, they're called
[19:08] Precision which is derisively after the large years of Russian
[19:12] Invaders and in many other places.
[19:14] So in Catalonia, Valencia The eyeglasses are two layers and so
[19:19] in England, they are called little hearts and sweethearts in
[19:24] Scotland. They are called as figures in
[19:26] Pakistan. They are called French hearts in
[19:28] Japan, they are called the Genji, pie.
[19:31] And in India, they are known as elephant ears or French hearts
[19:34] and it's you know, marketed by Britannia under the brand name
[19:39] little hearts, very cool. Very cool if you go online you
[19:44] to you know, websites where You by little hearts online.
[19:48] Say something like, yummy bizarre.com.
[19:50] If the description of little hearts is given, as B, A Hard
[19:54] return, your little hearts, mini power mirrors pack of three
[19:57] cookies. Okay, we need money is so very
[20:00] cool. The ordinary Indian really hard
[20:04] is actually very fancy, French pastry.
[20:06] Wow, that is pretty cool, now, I love that.
[20:12] All right, I'm going to Pivot to Something in the Space of this
[20:18] do Sports. All right on since you did the
[20:23] challenge with a sports question as always, get very cold feet.
[20:27] Every time you say it's on the World of Sports them like a.
[20:33] I'm very very challenged when it comes to sports beat playing or
[20:38] knowing. What is the sport that you like,
[20:41] though? Let me ask you that before we go
[20:43] to some trivia, how can you really putting me on the spot
[20:45] here? I don't watch any kind of sport
[20:49] on a regular basis. But I'm one of those people who
[20:52] watches the World Cup when the world comes around whether it's
[20:55] Cricket or football, I watch it. When it comes around, when the
[20:58] Olympics comes around, I watch it but in between no nothing I
[21:02] have a lot of friends who watch the Premier League you know
[21:05] things regularly but not somebody.
[21:07] Who watches a sport though. I do appreciate certain spots
[21:11] for their technicality here like boxing for example even if I
[21:14] don't watch it quite regularly or obsessively, I can really
[21:18] appreciate a boxing match. You know, the kind of strategy
[21:23] that goes behind one. Pretty cool.
[21:27] Very cool. Not an export out of the fan in
[21:30] any way, shape, or form for a new, any sport in particular.
[21:35] Okay, well that's trivia is specifically, we need to related
[21:39] but let me ask a trivia that is more General.
[21:44] Is anybody else might also potentially?
[21:46] No. Okay.
[21:47] Okay. The Brazilian luxury publisher.
[21:52] Torrealba publica produced. A limited edition book entitled
[21:57] 1283 and produced. Exactly 1283 copies.
[22:02] Okay? Who was this book about, and why
[22:05] that number? How many pages did it have?
[22:08] One to implicate? Exactly, 1283.
[22:11] Okay. There's EV and Ray.
[22:13] So because you said it's Brazil and thinking football and
[22:19] because it's Football. Let's go through the big
[22:21] Brazilian name. So, first one would be Billy.
[22:26] Well, that's right. That is exactly why.
[22:30] Yeah, you're right. It is it is really.
[22:33] What does the number refer to? I've no clue end up.
[22:36] Just literally guessing here. This is 1280 well you clearly
[22:40] got it right on the first go so I'm assuming you'll get no
[22:42] answer. Let us out.
[22:48] Sometimes you take the Apple Maps instead of the Google Maps,
[22:51] it just gets us all lost and somehow we end up with the right
[22:54] place. Yes, but you don't know how I
[22:57] would say. That's the total number of goals
[22:59] he scored in his professional career.
[23:03] I cannot fault you at all for that answer as well.
[23:08] Perfectly on the mark, it is, it is 128 three goals in his
[23:11] legendary career that way. Let's go ahead and hence your
[23:15] book has exactly 1283 copies in print, my God, okay, to be fair
[23:23] to us Listening, I did not do this.
[23:26] I cannot take credit for this. I just want to.
[23:32] Do you manage to get a blade? You manage to get a medal is
[23:36] also, okay? I am book.
[23:42] This is a very, this is a music related question and it's a
[23:48] favorite question of mine because, you know, you'll use
[23:52] here at it's basically story so strap in for us.
[23:54] Tori. Okay?
[23:56] So there are a couple of parts for this.
[23:58] I will summarize it again, but let me just start off that.
[24:00] So, X was a Boris. Karloff horror Anthology film
[24:06] release of 1963. Okay.
[24:10] Okay. A British band originally called
[24:15] The Polka tulk Blues, okay. Which they then called Earth, if
[24:21] they call themselves Earth, they wrote a song inspired.
[24:24] Hired by the work of horror and adventure story writer Dennis
[24:27] Wheatley, they use the name X. Because it was playing in the
[24:33] theater opposite, their rehearsal room.
[24:36] Okay? So there are two three matches
[24:37] levels is movie called X, which is a bottle of Boris Karloff a
[24:40] different. There, was this band, a British
[24:43] band all originally called The Polka tulk Blues, which they
[24:45] later, they called themselves the Earth, and they wrote a
[24:48] song, and they named the song after this movie, because it was
[24:51] playing in the theater opposite, okay?
[24:54] Okay. Judas Priest frontman.
[24:57] Horeb Halford called the track. Probably the Most evil song ever
[25:02] written. Okay.
[25:03] The songs ominous sound and dark lyrics pushed the band into a
[25:07] darker Direction which is a very stark contrast to the music of
[25:11] the 1960s, which is no lot of hippie positive, kind of thing.
[25:16] This was very dark. Okay.
[25:18] Now inspired by their new sound. The change their name, the band
[25:23] changed its name to X. Ok, And in a, in an F, in an
[25:28] effort to kind of write similar material and to create what they
[25:32] called, the musical equivalent of ourselves.
[25:35] So what is this x? What is the, which was the name
[25:37] of a movie? Which is the name of the track?
[25:39] And then, finally, it became the name of the band.
[25:42] My instinct was to say zombies, but that is not I'm forgetting
[25:50] the name of the band that has composed song but it's not the
[25:53] Cranberries cranberry is the cranberry sauce.
[25:56] That was the first thing you come back to.
[26:02] This very, very scary horror movie title called cranberries
[26:06] that would cranberries, that would only be a horror film for
[26:14] the bacteria that cause UTI well.
[26:18] Okay, that's a very deep cut, very nice, very nice.
[26:22] Level, of fact, short for anybody who's suffering from
[26:26] you, T.i., cranberries help you. Yes, I thought you were gonna
[26:30] say something like, for diabetics or something, because
[26:38] that would not be as helpful as just heart.
[26:40] Lll. Not video.
[26:42] Not Apple. Boy this.
[26:46] When is this band from roughly, like, what?
[26:49] We'll do it again, 1960s. 60s is a while back.
[26:54] All right, so you said the Move to a darker tone post this song.
[27:00] Yes, am I to assume that they were in the metal grunge?
[27:06] Any that any of that space or are they more?
[27:11] They became a metal band, right? As you can identify from the
[27:16] original name which was the polka tulk blues.
[27:19] And then later, they called themselves Earth.
[27:22] It wasn't a very metal name. Yeah.
[27:25] Yes. And the fact that they named it
[27:28] after a Boris Karloff, obviously, Boris, Karloff,
[27:31] legend of the horror industry, the man who played the mummy and
[27:35] Frankenstein and whatnot. So they named it after one of
[27:38] his movies, but just because it was playing in a theater
[27:40] opposite, to where they were writing the song, from the song
[27:43] has been called one of the worst songs ever written, who's he
[27:46] will songs, ever written. So, the song named the band
[27:51] name, and the movie name are all the same, right?
[27:53] Yes, they're all the same. Oh, boy band.
[27:56] Which Which was named after their own song.
[28:00] Again. Metallica is not that old
[28:02] thinking, not Hanukkah. No, I don't think I know enough
[28:06] metal band. So I will need a hint.
[28:09] I'm assuming it's a famous band but yeah, I'm currently spent
[28:12] the front, man is very, very, very, very, very famous, please.
[28:17] I mean, like, I can give you asked, you know, gen Z's, or
[28:22] Millennials, they might know him better from a reality TV show.
[28:26] Okay. Okay.
[28:27] So family at least his family from we give me the name.
[28:30] It would become too easy. Yes.
[28:32] Because he I mean like he is he's iconic.
[28:36] Okay, so let's get to the name as the final clue, then, okay,
[28:41] let me ask something this random is it, how many words are there
[28:44] in the name do to get banned name?
[28:49] Of course, there is a famous movie called Lincoln Park.
[28:54] That there's a song called Lincoln Park.
[28:57] Is it not? I can't Bluff.
[28:58] My, we are to the 1960s. Okay, let me just put it this
[29:03] way. The, the frontman of the band or
[29:05] at The person we would most recognized with this band is
[29:09] famous for one's having bit live bat on stage.
[29:12] He bit the line ahead of her life back on stage.
[29:15] Oh, I know this, I know this, he did.
[29:17] Oh my God, this is definitely somebody really metal and
[29:23] because I have little being back to the trivia, this iconic
[29:28] musician doing this. Yes.
[29:32] I'm I'm guessing. Let's go by.
[29:35] Let's do some elimination. Okay, because I'm going to
[29:37] eliminate some musicians is definitely not Sonu Nigam start
[29:45] from no, no, I'm kidding. Oh God.
[29:49] Who is this guy? Took it?
[29:52] Before you give me the name because I think I know the name
[29:53] ever tell me anything about the. Is there any other tool which is
[29:56] not related to this singer? So the title track.
[30:00] So if you If you've watched the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the
[30:05] movie that launched the Marvel Cinematic Universe end credits
[30:11] are feature this song. The feature not this song of
[30:16] feature, a very famous song by the same band.
[30:18] Like literally, when the particular the movie Iron Man,
[30:22] he has the movie Iron Man. So where the moment where Tony
[30:26] Stark, you know, the famous press conference, where he said,
[30:28] I am I and where is his am Tony Stark?
[30:30] I am Iron Man sir here. Yeah, The credits start rolling
[30:33] with this song playing in the background if I remember
[30:35] correctly. Oh, good eye, which is also
[30:37] because man is it is it by any chance Black Sabbath?
[30:43] Is it black? It is Black Sabbath, it is
[30:45] flexible so it is flexi will get.
[30:47] Thank God. I was whispering the answer will
[30:50] be scared. Okay like seventh it is like
[30:53] that is what's his name was born Ozzy Osbourne.
[30:57] Obvious one is the guy who beat the best.
[31:00] Yes yes. Fun story.
[31:02] But that Ozzy Osbourne, he did that in the 80s.
[31:05] If I'm not mistaken at a concert where he a bit, the head off a
[31:09] line back. Surprisingly was it didn't know
[31:13] that it was a life that he thought it was a rubber prop.
[31:16] Oh wow. Okay.
[31:17] So, he was not as metal after he bit into it and heard a crunch.
[31:27] Did you throw up on stage? I don't think he died and he
[31:31] died here. Leslie did not believe throw up
[31:33] on stage, but yeah, so yeah, so he's back to being metal then
[31:37] that's quite the roller coaster. You took me on like, of all the
[31:42] people I believe you cannot Ozzy Osbourne has earned his medical
[31:46] insurance. It's kind of unfair that
[31:49] somebody does that on stage and he's immortalized.
[31:53] And another man does that in a Wuhan wet market and is somehow
[31:59] responsible for, shutting us down for two years.
[32:02] Let's not go there and legitly allegedly legit doctor gourd.
[32:08] Art podcast is the source for the start of going to be have no
[32:13] idea. Yeah, okay, so you're done this
[32:17] has to do with the tetris. I believe I was quite a few
[32:24] video game addiction in the past.
[32:25] So this has, this is one more of those Tetris had a very famous
[32:32] Vez. Okay.
[32:33] Let me face this way. A very famous person was a big
[32:36] fan of Tetris, and I had had submitted high score multiple
[32:40] times and eventually was told that they cannot submit any more
[32:45] high score. So this was actually when you
[32:47] could send your high scores to Nintendo Power Magazine, this is
[32:51] back in the 90s and this particular individual used to
[32:55] submit to their high scores and it is eventually said, okay, you
[32:59] know what enough we don't need to some publish anymore.
[33:02] Of a high schools. So they couldn't do that
[33:07] anymore. Eventually, this is how they
[33:11] were remembered. So Tetris, this is the list of
[33:16] the names that was published a couple of a while later.
[33:20] So it has a Yvette's kinds of Kim G, and D Church lindakhaas
[33:27] occur, Greg Gallup nickname, ER and Stephen fool.
[33:32] Ooh, so I just named seven people.
[33:37] Can you recognize the famous person in this list?
[33:41] And how did they disguise their name?
[33:43] Again, you give you the names again, if it's kinds of kimchi
[33:49] and be Church lindakhaas occur. Greg Gallop nickname, ER,
[33:55] Stephen Foo. Okay, my first guess would be
[33:58] that they gave an anagram of They don't name like the mix of
[34:03] the letters. That would be my guest.
[34:05] But not wouldn't be a terrible. Yes, yes, yes.
[34:08] But I'm notoriously bad, a NG. I can't decipher any of these to
[34:12] tell you, which would move. Let's say this person is very
[34:17] famous in the tech industry, the tech industry, the okay.
[34:25] So let's let's name the big names from the eighties so then
[34:28] that will be the will Gates There's Steve Wozniak to a Steve
[34:34] Jobs, this Steve Jobs. You have already gotten the
[34:39] answer in that list of three. Okay, so it's okay.
[34:43] No it wasn't Bill Gates, it wasn't, it wasn't.
[34:47] It is Steve Wozniak, it is T was now let's go.
[34:51] He didn't bother doing to fancy an anagram.
[34:54] He literally reverse the letters of his name.
[34:57] So if it's kinds o is Steve, Wozniak you spell?
[35:00] Backwards, what do we say?
[35:14] Like, let me give you some background
[35:27] on this piece of trivia. So, In 1990 1991 Apple,
[35:33] co-founder Steve was Wozniak was his nickname submitted several
[35:38] high scores to Nintendo Power Magazine for the game boy.
[35:41] Version of Tetris, he was featured three times.
[35:45] The first was via letter, which included photos and was duly
[35:48] printed ones, who the high score of 5-0 7110.
[35:53] And the third time was five. Four, six, one, four, five in
[35:57] the third occasion, he spelled his name backwards because they
[35:59] are already said no to To printing his name so many times.
[36:04] So he just submitted under image scans out and interestingly
[36:08] enough, according to a website that I was reading this on, they
[36:13] try to find if his score was beaten eventually.
[36:16] And it turns out that for almost 15 years, nobody beat his score.
[36:21] So for 15 years, Steve Wozniak was the world champion on
[36:26] Tetris, on the Gameboy, at least, So that I listen.
[36:35] Well, that's why you were not in the Nintendo Power Magazine.
[36:40] I'm supposed to tell you when you and you're also not the
[36:46] co-founder of Apple. So yeah, not to not to minimize
[36:52] your achievements in life, you've done.
[36:54] A lot of wonderful things. Let's be very clear.
[36:59] At a different level altogether. Okay.
[37:03] Monica often that c OG, H Lan. I think that's how it's
[37:08] pronounced. Sinatra, Monica Kaufman was a
[37:12] was an English woman. Most famous for, having been
[37:16] involved in a controversy surrounding X.
[37:20] This person X, who allegedly paid her 2,000 pounds for sex
[37:26] and the aftermath of this whole scandal.
[37:29] This sum of money. Let us 2,000 pounds is now
[37:32] called X in English. Slang as in English by using
[37:36] slang in England. Not in general, link to bottom
[37:40] who is eggs? Who's this personality?
[37:42] The celebrity? Okay, the so it is a sexual
[37:45] Scandal, which decade are we talking about?
[37:49] This is, how old is this Lang? This is the 80s.
[37:52] It is named. After the person who paid the
[37:55] Monica, is basically X paid. Capone 2,000 pounds for sex.
[38:01] It became a huge Scandal and then in the aftermath of that,
[38:05] what happened was the, you know, the English Cockney rhyming,
[38:08] slang and we have so amaryllis lands, this person's name.
[38:13] X is name became the term used for saying 2,000 pounds.
[38:18] Instead of seeing 2,000 pounds. It's a give me an X interesting.
[38:24] Then it's an English politician. Yes, I Put have to know.
[38:31] I don't think I'm as it a prime minister.
[38:33] Is it an English prime minister? Is it a?
[38:35] It's a politician you know very well but probably not for being
[38:39] a politician. Oh damn, okay, so then I'll have
[38:46] to ask what? We know this person has for
[38:48] famously. For he is famous for being an
[38:52] author. An English author who was also a
[38:57] politician. Yeah.
[38:59] For a very long time here, a very long practical carrier
[39:03] caught up in a sex scandal. English.
[39:06] Author of all the English authors I know.
[39:07] Are women very feminist a few. Yeah, true true, maybe, or maybe
[39:14] just the fact that I have loved reading some, I'm guessing
[39:19] Charles, Dickens is rolling over in his grave right now.
[39:24] Who's, who's that? Who's that?
[39:26] Delicious and Arthur Conan Doyle?
[39:37] Was he ever knighted sounds like if your name is Jess, Arthur
[39:41] Conan Doyle, then you don't deserve my respect, okay.
[39:46] None of these men are also, obviously, from the decade you
[39:49] mentioned. It is Sidney Sheldon.
[39:53] An English incision was American always in America, not the you
[39:58] are closed. If you are somebody who's read a
[40:00] lot of Sidney, Sheldon, chances are you've also rate because the
[40:03] Big Dipper contemporaries in the fact that their novels became
[40:06] popular around the same time. Okay.
[40:09] Yeah I was thinking a popular writer, not somebody more
[40:12] absolutely very popular very popular especially during our
[40:15] generation Gen X gen Z's and Millennials.
[40:17] Maybe not so much 6n eals the ones who are between Gen-X and
[40:22] Millennials yet, okay, for us. Yeah.
[40:28] Oh no, but that guy is American as well.
[40:30] The guy who has written a bunch of those law novels based on the
[40:35] law and the tile and Grisham Grisham is American as well.
[40:40] Yeah, he did. Okay.
[40:42] Shall I give you a clue. Oh, is it by any chance?
[40:45] Jeffrey Archer. Is it is Jeffrey.
[40:47] Archer. Can read the future was a
[40:50] politician. I had no idea.
[40:53] He was an MP for a very long time.
[40:55] He was a okay. So there's a long story and And
[40:57] this is story which is conveniently been forgotten by a
[41:00] lot of people. Okay.
[41:02] I think it deserves a little bit of because the this woman was
[41:06] treated very happily so at least it has to be told.
[41:10] So Monica fountain with an English woman, she was the
[41:13] center of a scandal that involved conservative politician
[41:15] and author Jeffrey Archer in 1987.
[41:19] So happened was in 1986 Coghlan kick, picked up a client at
[41:23] Shepherd Market, as he's kurta, a businessman, who saw him?
[41:27] Coghlan identified him, as Jeffrey Archer who was then the
[41:30] conservative party's. Deputy chairman court has the
[41:34] story of Archer. Seeing a prostitute to a tabloid
[41:37] newspaper rather than print, the unverified story, the paper
[41:41] decided to organize, the sting by getting cognate to Ask
[41:45] Archer, for money to stay silent on 24th of October 1986, the
[41:50] news of the world, filmed and audiotaped, Michael stackpole up
[41:54] representative of Jeffrey Archer, giving cognizant
[41:57] Thousand pounds in fifty-pound notes on platform.
[42:00] Three of London's, Victoria Station to leave the country to
[42:03] avoid recordings Coghlan. Also earned a 6,000-pound from
[42:07] the newspapers for taking part in The Sting operation Archer
[42:10] admitted to giving Coghlan travel funds.
[42:13] But sued the Boulder Daily Star for printing that he and coconut
[42:17] had had sex for money. So what happened was there was a
[42:19] big trial that happened and during the trial, Colin broke
[42:22] down in tears, repeatedly on cross-examination.
[42:24] But continued to assert the truth of the newspaper story
[42:28] Dramatically calling Archer liar.
[42:30] In court in late, 1999 and 2000. As Archer was running for mayor
[42:35] of London, several office Confederates who had testified
[42:38] at the trial for him began, recanting their stories and in
[42:42] 2000 September is charged with perjury his trial due to open
[42:46] next week. However, on 26, April 2001.
[42:50] Drug addict, Gary day crashed a stolen Jaguar S-Type into
[42:54] columns Ford, Fiesta outside West Yorkshire.
[42:57] And And she died in her car was catapulted through a wall.
[43:02] He lay in the wreck for about an hour and I had to be cut out of
[43:04] the wreckage through the car. Goes the following her death and
[43:08] archers conviction for perjury on July 20th, 20 2001, the
[43:12] English Collective of prostitutes wrote an open letter
[43:15] to the Guardian newspaper, supporting her Vindication and
[43:19] calling her unjustly branded by her sex race and class.
[43:22] And by the prosecution will a allows which label and
[43:24] condemned. Women Archer was jailed for his
[43:27] Audrey. Receiving a four-year sentence.
[43:31] In 2000 pounds in Cockney rhyming slang is now called an
[43:34] Archer alleged the amount that he who that's a heavy story
[43:41] unfortunate that there and a man who lied to save his reputation.
[43:46] Not very uncommon not all comment and and an author.
[43:50] I actually Jeffrey Archer is an author I have liked his books
[43:54] and goes to show. Sometimes it is many with one of
[43:57] many of those people who's as a person, You may not like them,
[44:01] but their work is a different story.
[44:06] See, ya just so happens. Yeah.
[44:09] Seem like Mel Gibson, Orson Scott Card, Sean Penn who is not
[44:14] meant for bad. Yeah, I did not know Orson Scott
[44:16] card also has skeletons in the closet but then again every
[44:19] human being does the two authors that I was thinking of the
[44:25] British authors, well, you know, Blyton and a JK Rowling and, of
[44:29] course, as human beings go. They also You need light and I
[44:31] would say was a product. Anybody could be perhaps, have a
[44:36] multitude of reasons for doing the things questionable things
[44:38] that they did in their life. And yeah, being a product of the
[44:41] times is one of those reasons, either ways their their work
[44:45] does does mean a lot to a lot of people including me.
[44:49] Yeah, so that's that. But lovely question.
[44:53] So I think we have run out of time for today.
[44:57] How did I do you have a question you want to ask?
[45:01] Of course I do. And the question this week is
[45:05] going to be if 100-meter dash was to be co-opted by a country
[45:10] and put an unrelated name on top of what would it be called and
[45:14] which contributed be able to tune in next week to find out
[45:17] the answer to that? Yes, yes, yes.
