[1:59] questions for today. I did.
[2:01] Yeah. Could you start us off?
[2:03] I shall. Okay, I'm going to do something
[2:06] different that I haven't done for the last two episodes.
[2:08] I'm going to start reading off things from a list.
[2:12] Tell me when you have made the connection between all of these
[2:16] things on them. Okay let's go one common element
[2:19] between these between these things on them.
[2:21] Okay. Okay.
[2:23] Pepe jeans, Bermuda. Denims dungarees.
[2:30] Okay, I got it. I got it.
[2:32] Okay, these are all items of clothing named after places.
[2:37] Oh, that's such a brilliant. Brilliant answer.
[2:40] Yes, it is exactly, right. These are all other one that
[2:45] kind of gave it away was when you said dungarees because you
[2:50] don't agree and darker eating. It's like it's way.
[2:53] It's one of those things that stuck in my head for a long
[2:55] time. It is is absolutely Jesus
[2:57] Christ. I had no idea till I read this
[3:00] fact somewhere that dungarees are named after donkey.
[3:03] Do agree, though, he is and denim is somehow somewhere in
[3:07] France, right? They mean, I think, you know
[3:11] what? I think both of us, might not
[3:13] get the pronunciation right? But Niam.
[3:15] Yes, in France. Yes.
[3:16] So now I think it means I'm not sure I shall fact.
[3:21] Check it for later. Jean jeans is after Genoa.
[3:26] How'd you know, okay, you know, and Italy and Burwood after we
[3:31] obviously the country Bermuda, hey, I was gonna go on.
[3:35] So let me name a few more Jersey, which is from the island
[3:38] of Jersey muslin. Muslin is Indian and origin,
[3:43] right? Leslie, Kean origin.
[3:45] Actually from mosul muscle motion.
[3:49] I think that's how it's pronounced.
[3:55] Sweet. From severe case.
[3:57] All I didn't know that suede is from Sweden.
[4:00] Okay. Yeah.
[4:02] And Kashmir is from Kashmir. Yeah, Calico from Calicut.
[4:09] Yes, yeah, yeah. Yeah.
[4:11] If I didn't get any of those, the last one would have kind of
[4:13] like specifically to the end because at that point you would
[4:18] definitely get it. It's not a great question.
[4:22] Great question, it's a slightly long-winded question.
[4:26] But the answer is fairly, you know, recognizable.
[4:31] Okay. X was a Portuguese, General
[4:35] Admiral and Statesman he was the 1st Duke of Goa and Viceroy of
[4:41] Portuguese. India from 1509 to 15, 15,
[4:44] during which he expanded Portuguese, influence across the
[4:47] Indian Ocean, he conquered Goa and was the first European of
[4:51] the Renaissance to raid the Persian Gulf and let the first
[4:56] boy. Age by European Fleet into the
[4:57] Red Sea. He oversaw Expeditions.
[5:00] That result in the establishment of diplomatic contacts with
[5:03] Thailand Myanmar and with Timor and the malakas key.
[5:08] Lay the path for European trade. With Ming China, he aided in
[5:12] establishing diplomatic relations with Ethiopia and
[5:16] established diplomatic ties with Persia during the safavid
[5:20] dynasty throughout his career. He received epithets such as the
[5:25] Terrible. The great, the line of the Seas,
[5:29] the Portuguese, Mars and the Caesar of the East simply put
[5:34] see was an Empire Builder in every sense of the word.
[5:39] How is he immortalized in India, who, okay?
[5:43] So Portuguese fella. Yes.
[5:46] We basically did a lot of expansionist work.
[5:50] Yeah. The way you said, somewhere all
[5:52] the way to the Red Sea and the gulf Indian Ocean Yeah, it is
[5:57] monikers, include the terrible. Yeah, and you mentioned two
[6:01] more. What are those?
[6:03] The great, the lion of the Seas, the Caesar of the East and the
[6:09] Portuguese, Mars Mars in the God of War, Mars, God of War, okay?
[6:15] And he is immortalized in India and some for yes, he was the 1st
[6:20] Duke of Goa and Viceroy of the Portuguese portion of colonized
[6:25] India. From 1509 to 15 15.
[6:29] Does it have anything to do with the name panaji?
[6:33] No, no that's not whether it's a little weak because when I, when
[6:40] I say that, how is he immortalized in India?
[6:42] There are a lot of ways. You could have been
[6:44] immortalized. It's a little weak.
[6:47] I shall give you what I'm gonna ask.
[6:49] Yeah, I'm gonna let me ask for a specific load.
[6:52] Is he named in some way shape or form.
[6:56] In geography, a street City, a town, you know, the thing I'm
[7:02] looking for is not related to geography and even if it works
[7:06] this is the the immortalization I'm looking for is something
[7:09] that known to practically everyone in India.
[7:12] It's not a geographical place, I'm looking for the way he was
[7:17] immortalized in food or let's say something edible
[7:22] interesting, this Portuguese fellas.
[7:26] Immortalized in food. Is he mr.
[7:30] Sampson after whom Samosa is named Rover.
[7:33] That is so bad. God, no, you should put that for
[7:38] the end of the episode hangover the next day.
[7:45] Let's see. Food item that is known across
[7:49] the country. No, I'll need a bit more of a
[7:52] hint. Think the gore region and saw
[7:56] Parts of Maharashtra, something that's from here, and it's
[8:02] exported quite, you know, throughout the world.
[8:07] It's also regarded by many do disputed by some as the Pinnacle
[8:14] of its type. I'm being very vague.
[8:16] I know, but I don't like this place.
[8:18] Is it is? It does it have anything to do
[8:21] with alcohol? No.
[8:22] Okay. Do you could probably make
[8:25] alcohol from It. Oh boy.
[8:28] Well, we human beings have been known to make alcohol from
[8:30] literally everything so that doesn't help narrow down either.
[8:35] Okay, let's see what can be. Is it some sort of green?
[8:42] Not a green. I will give you a little.
[8:44] I'll I narrow the field a little more.
[8:46] It's a Frugal after weather. Wow, I can only think of the
[8:53] coconut trees in Goa. No, let's save.
[8:58] Let's forget. Go.
[8:59] I think of Southern Maharashtra and my know I might give you
[9:05] anything mangoes. Okay.
[9:09] Yes, I was on the right Alfonso death.
[9:17] Oh my God. Yeah the guy we're talking about
[9:20] is afonso De Albuquerque. Oh my God.
[9:24] All right. It's after him.
[9:26] That the Alphonso mango was named Jesuit Minister
[9:30] missionaries introduced grafting on mango trees and Portuguese.
[9:33] Go up to produce varieties like the Alfonso.
[9:38] So what we know now, as the various, the Alphonso mango is
[9:42] named after this fellow, this Portuguese, Empire Builder by
[9:48] the name of afonso De Albuquerque.
[9:52] So, is it just as a mark of respect?
[9:57] No, see when they did this, he was still a big deal.
[10:00] Okay, so you know, people name things after so that it wouldn't
[10:05] happen. Now, press speed, wouldn't
[10:06] happen. Now he know if you come to this
[10:10] part of the country, there is a lot of debate as to, which is
[10:13] the better man go. Oh, yeah.
[10:17] And Paul, this is not the settled kill.
[10:19] They say if you ask anybody who's from God, there is a,
[10:22] there is a mango from Goa, which I can attest.
[10:26] Test is at many times. I felt is superior to the
[10:28] Alfonso is called mancora. Notice of that.
[10:32] We're going to come, you have to go, and it's not something that
[10:35] you can just buy outside or something.
[10:37] You have to come to go and get it.
[10:39] Beautiful very honey. Sweet mango.
[10:42] I will have to make a trip. Yeah.
[10:45] And you did mention that there is possibly alcohol made from
[10:48] mangoes and I have no clue if there is any.
[10:51] Yeah. So you in parts of go and a few
[10:53] pops or not. I have seen mango beer.
[10:56] And they've used Alphonso, mango Essence in the beer or
[10:59] something. Okay?
[11:00] Okay. And in I do know that certain
[11:02] types of mangoes have been used to make Spirits by, you know,
[11:06] but those are like high up in the hills you know when people
[11:09] that people have their own skills and whatnot, right?
[11:12] And it's a fruit with sugar. You can distill alcohol from
[11:15] practically needs to really do that.
[11:17] Yeah. Okay, so that was your question
[11:22] and that means it's my turn. Yes.
[11:26] Let's go back to 1830. Whoa, Sarah hill was a teacher
[11:33] who was inspired by an incident that happened in the classroom.
[11:38] But also students brought her pet in the student brought her
[11:43] own pet into the classroom and everybody was very distracted by
[11:48] this pet, this incident made Sarah, he'll go on to pain.
[11:54] One of the most famous Forms over that literally everybody
[12:00] has heard of and possibly nose in its entirety.
[12:05] What am I talkin? Is it Mary had a little lamb,
[12:08] Mary had a little lamb, Mary was a student in the classroom and
[12:13] she brought a lamb to class. It's right.
[12:16] It is right. It is, the answer is very a
[12:20] little love. That's an actual incident.
[12:22] It is not an allegory for something.
[12:24] Oh, no, no, it's It's nothing like Humpty Dumpty or any of
[12:28] those nursery rhymes. It's almost you already know
[12:30] about Humpty Dumpty. I can't ask you that question.
[12:32] I was planning to ask that a yes or no.
[12:38] Actual incident that happened to Sarah Hill and she wrote the
[12:43] poem inspired by that. Do you also know the other
[12:45] trivia attached to this with regards to Edison Edison wait
[12:52] his what was the thing the his phonograph.
[12:56] I think the heated made a recording of Marietta the
[12:58] Glamorous pawnography. It is the first audio recorded
[13:02] by Edison on his newly invented. Phonograph in the ATM 1877.
[13:07] Yeah. Nice, nice, nice.
[13:10] I did not know that I sometimes go on these kind of rabbit hole
[13:14] things where I try to figure out, you know.
[13:16] So I the other day I was planning to, you know, go
[13:19] through a lot more of these nursery rhymes because many of
[13:21] them are allegories for you know something that's happened.
[13:24] Historically You know, the Pied Piper and Humpty Dumpty and all
[13:29] those. Okay.
[13:31] But I this is literally somebody brought a lamb to school.
[13:35] That's exactly what happened there.
[13:37] The lyrics have changed obviously, but the original one
[13:40] was Mary, had a little lamb. Mary had a little lamb.
[13:44] Nice, let's move to cinema, right?
[13:49] So this film was initially going to be called high jump because
[13:55] there Was a subplot about the protagonists inability to
[14:01] achieve the high jump later. This was cut from the movie and
[14:05] because of that the name was also changed the original
[14:08] inspiration for this movie was a specific instance in the life of
[14:15] legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa which is mentioned in
[14:19] his autobiography. Identify the movie we are going
[14:23] to be called high jump because The character cannot jump very
[14:28] high and it's inspired by Akira kurosawa's life incidents of
[14:31] incident in a person's life. Yeah.
[14:34] So the original script of the original storyline for the
[14:38] movie, had the subplot about Burke, this the protagonist
[14:42] wanting to achieve the high jump at not being able to and because
[14:45] of that, the movie was also named in the initial name was
[14:48] high jump. But when they cut that
[14:50] particular soft cloth from the script, they had to change the
[14:54] name as well. And so they changed.
[14:56] The name that we now know it by okay, the entire movie was
[15:00] inspired by an incident from Akira kurosawa's life, which he
[15:05] is mentioned in his autobiography further.
[15:08] Yeah, okay. Give me some maybe some sense of
[15:13] when was this movie released two thousand, seven, seven seven.
[15:19] It is it an English film know? Is it an Indian film?
[15:27] Then it is an Indian film. It is an Indian film.
[15:29] I'll go step further, it is a Bollywood film for Luke.
[15:31] Spencer, different 2007 for point.
[15:35] Now, I'm, I would need more dog. This was directed.
[15:43] There is a little bit of controversy, but let's just say
[15:45] that when you watch the movie, the credits for director is also
[15:48] that of the main actor. I got a regarded as soon as you
[15:52] set up the controversy in bagging, okay, is it Allison?
[15:55] Okay. Yes, it is.
[15:57] That is of equal. Okay.
[16:00] So initially the film was called to called was basically to
[16:04] retain the short story is based on a short story and the short
[16:07] stories title was high jump which reference stations
[16:11] inability to achieve the high jump in the gym class.
[16:15] This was filmed but later cut in the plant ending, the original
[16:19] planned ending, there'll be a ghost image which separates our
[16:22] mission after the art competition and this Goes will
[16:26] run to the sports field and there'd be a freeze frame of a
[16:29] Sean's ghost image successfully, making the leap Aamir Khan
[16:34] dislike the proposed ending and convinced amole gupte to rewrite
[16:38] it without now that the working title no longer relevant.
[16:42] They change the title to Paris. I mean, per the original
[16:45] inspiration for the start story and the movie was the childhood
[16:48] of Japanese filmmaker Akira. Kurosawa who did poorly in
[16:52] school, the goal was to explore the Of a child who did not fit
[16:57] into the school stream and there is a specific moment.
[17:01] In carosa was biography where he began to excel after meeting an
[17:05] attentive art teacher, okay? And this scene became the
[17:09] inspiration for the entire movie as to how a movie and the short
[17:11] story as to how a teacher could transform the life of a student,
[17:17] right? Fascinating.
[17:19] And the teacher was inspired by an actual teacher, like the vla.
[17:23] Yeah. Attentive our teacher, but I
[17:27] thought was an Indian art teacher.
[17:29] Wasn't you, then? Maybe I miss you already know.
[17:31] The, it is the inspiration behind.
[17:33] This is the inspiration. The incident that kind of the
[17:35] inciting incident, which sparked the story and then the movie was
[17:41] an incident from kurosawa's biography.
[17:44] Okay, wait, I love that. Look, I purposely did not was
[17:50] want to ask this during the India episode because in all
[17:55] that you do obviously, For our that's news for our.
[17:58] Oh, yes. My little buddy in India
[18:02] episode, which should be a fourth episode.
[18:05] Yes, should come out on Republic Day.
[18:07] Please keep a listen for that. Yeah, and that's the question
[18:12] we've. All right, so that brings my
[18:15] question up. Okay, so let's go back to World
[18:18] War Two, right? Okay.
[18:21] And in June of 1940 to in the Libyan Desert desert.
[18:25] Desert there was a battle of gazala and the British suffered
[18:30] a devastating defeat in it and which brought the morale down of
[18:35] the entire Army. And everybody was was almost
[18:38] about to give up. There was one small thing that
[18:41] they did, which helped boost the morale up again, the British
[18:47] army decided to implement. This was a new change that they
[18:50] brought to the tanks. So what?
[18:56] Change. Was this at the brought inside
[18:59] the tanks? Okay, I think I know the answer,
[19:02] and if I do, I'm going to flex, this is when the British started
[19:08] putting kettles inside the tank so that the officers could Brew
[19:14] tea inside the tanks without having to come out.
[19:18] I have no words. I have no words.
[19:21] You have you have blown me away very much.
[19:25] Reflects was He well-deserved. Yes.
[19:26] That is the exact right answer. There's a World War, Two
[19:30] historian, James Holland. And I love this quote.
[19:33] He said, I heard it said that in that moment had it not been for
[19:39] the tea ration coming through. We could have easily gone and
[19:43] thrown in the towel, just need to give up.
[19:47] We will soon be more lies. They were they were completely
[19:50] down in the dumps and that's when and since then Every single
[19:57] Centurian tank, I believe has come equipped with a burner and
[20:03] the cattle in there just for people to booty.
[20:06] Leave it to the British to be motivated by T of all things.
[20:10] Yeah, I mean, the British, who conquered half the half the
[20:16] planet, just and inspired ready? Yes.
[20:19] Auntie gin and tonic. Yeah, let's let you know if
[20:24] motivation for them. So not so funny that it was a
[20:29] very, very quick solve for you. If I remember correctly.
[20:32] There was some they were ambushed at one point during the
[20:37] the engagement when the tanks had stopped and the officers got
[20:41] out to make tea. So when the enemy tanks came in,
[20:45] they were caught literally with their pants down because they
[20:47] were having tea at the time and how they got there.
[20:50] But before they could get back into the tanks, they were just,
[20:52] you know, routed completely. I think I think you're talking
[20:56] about the Battle of Normandy in 1944, where a German German
[21:01] commanded knocked out 14 and in 15 minutes because the British
[21:07] crews are outside the tanks or a tea break.
[21:10] So they suffered losses for Bella for my God, 14 tanks of
[21:17] that's gotta hurt. So there is called boiling
[21:20] vessel will install in all about vehicle since then.
[21:24] Yeah, we will. Are they still there?
[21:27] I mean, like, do modern-day tanks.
[21:28] Also still have the, I believe. So, I believe since that all
[21:33] British armored vehicles have had tanks and armored vehicles
[21:36] have had that facility installed inside.
[21:39] Yeah, I don't do you I'm going to name two things and I need
[21:47] you to tell me the third in the sequence, got it.
[21:50] Yeah. Okay.
[21:51] So the first thing is Phoenix settlement And now and the year
[21:58] associated with that is 19 not for okay?
[22:01] The second is tall Story Farm and the are associated with in
[22:08] 1910. The third the year is 1915.
[22:15] I need to tell me what's the next one in the sequence.
[22:18] So I know you're talking about Gandhi, okay?
[22:25] That much I gathered, but nonbonding 1915.
[22:30] Why was he already back in India casaba booty.
[22:32] Ashram is later but I'm just going to guess.
[22:36] That's our only assume is that the answer if they discover the
[22:38] Astro, okay? It is a favor.
[22:42] Graham was later in 1936. Cyber Monday was in 1915.
[22:47] Interesting. Interesting, can you tell me
[22:49] because I know the names, where are these places?
[22:52] Where are they? So for the The sake of the
[22:56] audience, the math, they are the sequence that we were talking
[22:59] about were mothma, Gandhi's ashrams.
[23:02] Phoenix settlement was in nineteen, not for in Natal South
[23:07] Africa. Tolstoy Farm was a 90/10 outside
[23:10] Johannesburg to Burma, the Ostrom was in 1915 outside of M
[23:14] de Burgh in present-day, Gujarat and save a grommash room was in
[23:19] 1936 in Martha. And probably, the reason I do
[23:22] this is because I have been to several theater.
[23:25] A few times and they have that installation inside which which
[23:30] okay Chronicles is his life Journey.
[23:32] So, I've seen these names of cute and that's right.
[23:35] I was hoping to trip you up with Phoenix settlement and Tolstoy
[23:39] Bob. I have lived in at the bus, so
[23:44] yes, okay, okay, so yeah, you don't connect these two things,
[23:52] okay? Oxy phenylbutazone Okay, 1782,
[23:59] the year 1782. And if I'm playing dirty, I'm
[24:03] playing really dirty, it's whatever.
[24:06] It's 1782. When I say 72, it makes it sound
[24:09] like the year. It's not.
[24:10] The thing is this one? Okay.
[24:12] Okay, 1782. And oxybutynin oxy,
[24:17] phenylbutazone oxy phenylbutazone.
[24:20] See if and buter Zone and the numbers 1782 are those in a
[24:25] group. Or should I be looking at one
[24:28] separately seven? Separately 8, and then 2178
[24:32] recommend combined. Okay, oxy and pewter zone.
[24:39] Is it at something over the painkiller?
[24:42] No, no, no. Okay.
[24:46] Beef and pewter Zoom, 1782, you'll have to give you a clue
[24:52] here, hmm? Okay.
[24:55] So So this should be the ultimate in its category, this
[25:01] will be the highest in its category, highest in its
[25:04] category. Number is the highest possible,
[25:08] tougher 1782, highest in its category.
[25:16] Hmm. Okay.
[25:17] So my mind suddenly went to ramanujan, but that's 17 to
[25:23] nitrate plus 0. Yeah.
[25:25] No. No.
[25:27] It's all right. The American architect named in
[25:32] 1938 in the year, 1958 director, architect, Alfred Butz.
[25:38] Okay. Created something which today
[25:43] everybody has at some point in the life experience.
[25:47] And a lot of us have at home and that's where you would fight
[25:53] this particular connectors. It always order painkiller,
[25:56] right? Because I'm going to do that
[25:58] now. No, no, it's not well, I believe
[26:02] the combined immigrants. Yeah.
[26:06] You would know that better than me, but no, that's not.
[26:08] Yeah, it's not clicking an American architect.
[26:15] Yeah. And we've all experienced.
[26:17] This is what you have all experienced this and a lot of us
[26:20] might have it in our homes. He created this by doing the
[26:24] frequency analysis. From various sources including
[26:28] the New York Times, he did a frequency analysis from various
[26:31] sources including the new york-varanasi analysis, that
[26:35] will be. We're not talking about blood
[26:39] temperature. No, that was not watch over
[26:41] years now. Now that said he was in the late
[26:43] 1800 area of your bit colder, little bit cold right now, okay?
[26:46] Okay, okay, so then I think entertainment think it's it's
[26:52] not something, yeah. It's not science because I know
[26:55] you're going In veering towards the science side.
[26:57] Yeah, obviously, when you say octave and Beautiful on this
[27:06] question, it's given me nothing so far, okay.
[27:11] Um, I'll see if I can build his own 1782.
[27:15] I'm fairly sure by now that it's going to make me want to kill
[27:20] myself when I get there, okay? And it does not make sense.
[27:27] I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna go open forces, I have Brute
[27:32] Force this, okay, so American architect frequency analysis,
[27:37] whoo-hoo. I didn't tell you what he was
[27:39] doing the frequency Labyrinth that scrubber just Gravely a
[27:43] cranberry. The highest frequency analysis
[27:46] of New York Times, letters the frequency of the letters.
[27:49] Yes. This is carbon oxygen.
[27:50] You to that guy. I have to give it to.
[27:52] That is a brilliant cracked. Scrabble is the answer is Is
[27:57] okay. No, I'll be very honest if you
[27:59] if that frequency analysis thing is what kind of got me there.
[28:03] Because when you said the New York Times and stinking your
[28:06] pens New York Times frequency analysis, 1782.
[28:10] And then suddenly Red X Y, all of those together in this.
[28:13] Okay, scrubbers forever. Yes.
[28:16] And I do have Scrabble it ho. Well, then you're one of those
[28:19] people who has wrestled and the rest of us who don't ever have
[28:22] comb have at least experienced it once they're like, School
[28:27] game, Spirits endurance, clue here is the weather is not
[28:33] permitting of going outside for ball.
[28:34] You play have a little. What's the guy's name again?
[28:38] The American architect. So the American architect was
[28:42] for Alfred Moshe butts, okay? And then invented the game, the
[28:47] game. Well, he created the earliest
[28:49] version of this game. He called it.
[28:52] Lexical lexical. As in lexicon, and the The and
[28:56] scoring the tiles, and would put the value should be style.
[29:00] Have, he did that basil frequency analysis of letters
[29:03] from various sources mainly from The New York Times, okay?
[29:07] And oxygen via Tucson is the highest possible scoring word
[29:11] you can get, I believe. So yeah, that is that it was and
[29:15] 17 equals the score. That will, that is a school that
[29:18] will net you. Whoa. 1782.
[29:23] This is with all the bonuses and Yeah, it's a little bit so I'm
[29:28] guessing it'll be a corner to triple word scores.
[29:31] Yeah. Baby a double word score in
[29:33] between or something there because you have your X and your
[29:36] Y and you see ya when they do some.
[29:39] Oh yeah, that's need to invoke pretty high.
[29:41] Yeah, brilliant question. Brilliant question.
[29:43] That was I so far my favorite or credit.
[29:48] It's an obsolete in anti-inflammatory medication.
[29:51] Apparently Josh, I have no context to that.
[29:54] You would know what. Better than that.
[29:57] It sounds very familiar from my maybe pharmacology classes,
[30:01] maybe a decade or so ago. So I knew it was something.
[30:06] It's a pain killer of some fodder of, Man film.
[30:08] Integral inflammatory of some sort.
[30:10] Yeah. Okay.
[30:12] That was a brilliant question. Let me see if I have something
[30:15] that can should match the actual the day.
[30:18] So, yeah. Okay.
[30:20] So she was named an honorary Ambassador for the Torment of
[30:26] women and girls on 21st, October, 2016 in support of
[30:31] sustainable development. Goal number five, which is to
[30:35] achieve gender, equality, and Empower all women and girls, the
[30:40] designation ceremony coincided with her 75th birthday.
[30:45] However, many un staffers protested stating that she is
[30:49] not culturally encompassing or sensitive and raised objections
[30:53] about her image. Each clothing and a lot of other
[30:57] things on October 21st, the UN related relented and stripped
[31:05] her of her role. As honorary Ambassador leading,
[31:08] the Guardian newspaper to sport the headline one less woman in
[31:14] politics. Who am I talking about?
[31:17] 2016, it coincided with her 75th 75th birthday.
[31:23] This is somebody who's alive and Witnesses.
[31:27] My on what this person not alive and well, no, I'm not.
[31:35] I was trying to lead your Expedition fine.
[31:38] Okay. All right, we need, that's how
[31:39] you want to play this. Let me delete that little bit of
[31:42] work. Prince Charming.
[31:43] Okay, 2016 75th, birthday, one less person in politics.
[31:51] Is that what you said? That's, that's what the Guardian
[31:54] newspaper said. Well, one less person in
[31:56] politics. Yes.
[31:58] One less woman in politics. One Last Woman in purple.
[32:02] That was the headline. One less woman in politics.
[32:04] We want me to go through the question once again to kind of
[32:07] aggressively got it. I got it.
[32:08] I got it, the Ambassador for, for female equator, equality,
[32:14] and empowerment of women and girls in gender equality, and
[32:18] empowerment of the little girls, not only more hints a lemur
[32:22] Health's, I got the question but I'm neighborhood.
[32:25] Okay, this is going to kind of give it away, but one of the
[32:29] biggest complaints was regarding her clothing.
[32:34] So, when you said truly, I was thinking, where is it Barbie
[32:38] from chance? No, it's not Bobby.
[32:41] Okay. But yeah, that doesn't make
[32:43] sense. All right, Bobby is ever held
[32:45] this position because, you know, some people have some other
[32:50] people have, but no, not Bobby. Next woman and quality.
[32:58] Is it got to do with them? Because the only reason I'm
[33:05] thinking of not an actual person is because you'd refuse to
[33:09] answer to this person is alive or dead.
[33:12] I'm guessing this person is around technically.
[33:16] This person that I well in the lower I guess this person is
[33:19] gonna like let me think 75 years 2016. 19 suspending 1600 1960s,
[33:30] is it is it Wonder Woman? It is Wonder Woman.
[33:35] Okay, whatever it is, I believe it. 1950s 1960s, when Wonder
[33:39] Woman was first game and so okay, so let me just tell you
[33:44] the story, right? Cool.
[33:46] She was named as the honorary Ambassador for empowerment of
[33:49] women and girls and what happened was forty-four
[33:52] thousand. People signed a petition Ian
[33:56] that claimed to have been started by concerned.
[33:58] United Nations staff members calling on un, Secretary General
[34:02] ban, ki-moon to appoint a non-fictional woman to the road,
[34:06] okay? And I quote, it is alarming that
[34:09] the United Nations would consider using a character with
[34:13] an overtly sexualized image at a time when the headline news in
[34:17] the United States and the world is the objectification of women
[34:21] and girls who were scanty clothing a shimmery.
[34:25] Bearing body suit with an American flag, Motif and
[34:29] knee-high boots meant that deploying her as a role model
[34:33] for the UN was culturally insensitive.
[34:35] In many parts of the world. The collaboration between the UN
[34:39] and Wonder Woman lasted longer than previous un rolls given to
[34:43] fictional characters. Do you know any other fictional
[34:46] characters? Can you guess any other
[34:47] fictional characters which have been made ambassadors in the
[34:49] past? This bonus know.
[34:51] I would have, I would have no clue but let me Venture few
[34:54] guesses. I would say, two characters has
[35:01] the Sherlock Holmes. Been made a UL.
[35:04] No, there'll be too much of a stretch, but exactly a positive
[35:09] role model. No.
[35:11] So I will give you the ones that I have subdued, able to take out
[35:16] the previous un roles, were that were given to fictional
[35:18] characters include a character from Angry Birds.
[35:22] So that's a climate change ambassadors, okay?
[35:25] But a single day we need the Pooh was honorary Ambassador for
[35:31] friendship in 1997. You and Tinker Bell was an
[35:34] honorary Ambassador for green to promote environmental awareness
[35:38] in 2009. Tinker Bell for environmental
[35:42] awareness. Okay, yes, I would have thought
[35:45] for children. Cool.
[35:47] Yeah, so yeah. So there I've been fictional,
[35:52] you know, characters who held the post but But yeah, for
[35:56] Wonder Woman, there was a huge human cry.
[35:59] I can. And so that the last question
[36:03] for today I have I have to congratulate at the jail.
[36:07] There was some really brilliant questions in there.
[36:10] I'm not going to forget that 1782 anytime soon.

[38:20] ashram did opened in 1915 and it was called satyagraha.
[38:24] Sure. However, when he wanted to
[38:26] expand to include various activities such as farming and
[38:29] animal husbandry, he needed additional land.
[38:32] And so on 17th, June 1917, the ashram was relocated to the
[38:38] banks of the rivers. Cyber Monday and it came to be
[38:40] known as Obama. The ashram, the highest scoring
[38:43] word in Scrabble oxy phenylbutazone has from various
