[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 as needed to help each other get to The
[0:30] answer. Let's get quizzing.
[0:36] And we're back, ladies and gentlemen, with another episode.
[0:40] And as per tradition, we have to answer the question that at
[0:44] their poses to us at the end of every episode.
[0:47] So at the end of the last episode he had posed the quite
[0:53] thought-provoking question, what is the only upside to the
[0:57] mushroom management system? Keep in mind, it's called the
[1:02] mushroom management system because the idea is to keep your
[1:05] employees. In the dark and feed them
[1:07] bullshit. Okay, so I did what is the
[1:10] upside to this fascinating system?
[1:13] The upside to being part of mushroom management?
[1:17] Is that, if your boss is a mushroom manager, he'll at least
[1:21] be a fun guy. Oh sweet.
[1:24] Jesus my God man, you have no shame.
[1:30] You have no shame. Seriously, fungi fungi jokes.
[1:42] To be fair as far as your jokes. So that was one of the best so
[1:45] far there was there was not as bad as painful as, yes?
[1:49] Yes, yes compliment. I remember the carpet.
[1:58] Okay, so I think it's your turn to start of the episode this
[2:02] week, so hit me. Let me start. with a little bit
[2:07] of Quirk of the English language.
[2:12] Well, not so much a quirk but feature are the facet.
[2:16] Can you tell me? What do these words have in
[2:20] common destruction devilish. Masculine observe Lee jurist,
[2:31] rambunctious supervisor. Hmm.
[2:35] It's not one of those things where the vowels are in order or
[2:37] something, right? No, it's not.
[2:40] And this is not an exhaustive list, okay?
[2:43] I'll be a lot more. I have no clue.
[2:46] Frankly Speaking, rambunctious, supervisor.
[2:51] Nope, you'll have to give me something.
[2:53] So these, These are type of words. they all have something
[2:57] in common Blossom, chicken, honorable I have something in
[3:04] common. What does chicken have in common
[3:06] with rambunctious? With Blossom.
[3:11] Nah, dude, nope. Nothing zip zilch NADA.
[3:17] Okay. No, that's fair because this is
[3:19] a very big e design question, so far, let me see if I can help
[3:24] you a little bit more, these type of words.
[3:26] So the name I'm looking for for these type of words is named
[3:29] after an animal and that animal itself would both literally and
[3:35] metaphorically be an example of this.
[3:39] Feature of the world. I would have to figure out the
[3:42] pickle. Yeah no, no it's not.
[3:45] I'm just trying to think animal. I can't figure out what's the
[3:51] what's the common between the words to kind of figure out what
[3:53] animal that would, you know, be representative of it.
[3:58] So thinks Eminem's Blossom where are these words without any
[4:03] synonyms know they do have some nerve?
[4:06] They don't have them to. Yeah obviously they do have
[4:09] Synonyms. In fact fact that they have
[4:13] synonyms is very important to this feature.
[4:19] I feel like I'm digging into a hole and it's just going deeper
[4:22] and deeper with no gold inside. I mean, what are you thinking?
[4:26] I'll try to guide you along the way.
[4:28] No, that's the problem. It's just a dark tunnel.
[4:30] I don't see anything deeper and deeper.
[4:32] I'm just waiting for the glint of gold at the end of this mind
[4:36] that I'm digging. Okay, let me try to.
[4:40] I'm frankly, I have no clue where to go with this.
[4:44] Okay, so like I said, it is named after an animal and the
[4:48] animal itself is both literally and metaphorically symbolic of
[4:53] this type of word. So the name of the animal would
[4:55] also be the type of the word and animal represents this fear,
[5:02] this fear. This animal is a, is most famous
[5:08] Oh boy, that would be giving it away.
[5:09] Easily will get I'll still find, you know what?
[5:11] Even if I give you the name used to help figure out.
[5:13] What, what is the feature in it? The most famous marsupial the
[5:17] kangaroo. So these are called kangaroo
[5:20] words but what exactly do? Kangaroo words mean, they have
[5:26] pouches know that we're getting close.
[5:30] You're getting closer, getting loose.
[5:31] Wait, what? They have both literally and
[5:36] metaphorically use it right? Right.
[5:39] Yes, legal Duty. As in the word, kangaroo itself
[5:41] is a kangaroo world and the animal kangaroo symbolizes.
[5:47] What a kangaroo word is rambunctious supervisor, Blossom
[5:54] pouch, Joey, kangaroos jump around, Australian kangaroo
[6:00] fingers, jump out, ouch, you're getting there.
[6:03] You're getting there. What are the pouch is meant for
[6:06] what are the pouch is meant for for in?
[6:08] The rules. He has a congress a marsupial.
[6:10] So once the, the young one of the marsupial is born and grows
[6:15] inside a pouch, it grows inside. Its paw.
[6:17] So they carry the young one. And I, what did I mention?
[6:20] What is the one feature that you want to focus on?
[6:23] And think about the word, the pouch another word itself.
[6:29] When you're talking about having a synonym, having a synonym,
[6:34] okay, a pouch, whoo. Umm, no, I just it's a very very
[6:43] obscure that's not very well known, but I just like, don't
[6:45] know. But I really want to know what
[6:47] this soak angry words are words which have a synonym of itself
[6:52] within the word. It contains a synonym of itself
[6:56] in the word exam. Oh, kangaroo would be roo roo.
[6:59] Yeah, that's right. Some would be what bloom bloom
[7:04] bloom, okay? You can kind of, take out a few
[7:07] letter. So, if they have to be in order,
[7:10] but they can have other letters MD, okay?
[7:13] Okay, so destruction would be ruined, devilish would be evil.
[7:18] Masculine would be male. Observe would be C.
[7:21] Plagiarist would be liar. Rambunctious would be Ruckus.
[7:25] Supervisor would be superior than chicken would be hen.
[7:30] Honorable would be Noble, nice Circle, kangaroo words, and some
[7:36] of them actually, We have multiple Joey's, so routine
[7:40] would be wrote and rat. Loneliness has both loss and
[7:44] Oneness Chariot has both car. And cart Foundation has both
[7:49] fund and a font. So yeah, a bunch of them have
[7:53] cankerworm Joey's, a kangaroo words are the words which and
[7:56] Dana synonym within itself, just like a marsupial carries.
[8:00] They everyone, On its own body. Yeah, nice.
[8:04] Nice nice. Okay.
[8:06] No, I don't feel so bad because I would there's no way I could
[8:09] have worked this out. Yeah.
[8:10] You either either have heard of it or you don't know it yet?
[8:14] Yeah, it's one of those things but it's I don't think I'll ever
[8:16] forget this. Now kangaroo words, I should use
[8:19] it somewhere. Nice.
[8:21] Okay let me pivot to something else.
[8:25] I'm going to give you a list of people okay?
[8:28] It's obviously a non-exhaustive list and And I'm going to leave
[8:33] one name out of it. That name will be the clue for
[8:37] you going on. So I'll tell you the list right
[8:40] now. Okay ready?
[8:41] So you have Anne Boleyn who was one of the queens of England,
[8:47] Henry, the eighth Hannibal Lecter, the famous serial killer
[8:52] nayanthara Hooser actress from the south of India.
[8:57] Garfield sobers West Indian cricketer.
[9:02] Gemma Arterton English actress one time Bond girl.
[9:09] What do these people have in common?
[9:13] Again, this is one of those obscure pieces of trivia.
[9:18] Hannibal. I'm thinking do they all have a
[9:22] moniker? Which describes them like a
[9:24] Hannibal the cannibal. Like some rhyming?
[9:27] No no I don't I don't I don't think Thomas Harris has ever
[9:31] written Hannibal the cannibal inside the novel.
[9:33] I think it's one of those things that's come up with the
[9:35] internet. We will have to check that but
[9:37] yeah Hannibal Lecter you know one of the most terrifying
[9:42] characters ever written Fantastic portrayed by.
[9:50] Let me give you the list once again.
[9:54] Okay. No, no.
[9:55] Go ahead. Go ahead, go ahead.
[9:56] I was gonna say based on the historical figures the English
[10:00] monarchs. I was going to guess, have they
[10:03] been portrayed by oscar-winning performances but jamaat in
[10:07] probably hasn't been portrayed in the biofilm?
[10:09] No, neither has nine para who's an actress from the south of
[10:13] India. Also known as the lady Superstar
[10:17] of the South no I'll need a helper.
[10:21] Okay so then I'm going to add one person's name to the list
[10:26] it's probably a giveaway but cello Hrithik, Roshan.
[10:31] Again, huge actor of Bollywood. It will have a sixth finger.
[10:40] Yes. So, these are all people who
[10:41] have Polydactyly as in also known as Hypertech Terry, which
[10:47] is an anomaly resulting in an extra number of fingers and our
[10:51] toes. Yeah, so ambulance, former Queen
[10:56] of England was rumored to have six fingers on one hand.
[11:01] Now, but the fact is he this is a little bit anecdotal.
[11:05] Because the first time we hear of it as from a Catholic
[11:09] dissenter. So it's possible that it was you
[11:13] know, or put up out later because in those days people
[11:15] with extra feet and extra toes were considered witches or
[11:18] warlocks, okay? So it's possible.
[11:21] It might have been just something to debase for name in
[11:26] The Silence of the Lambs. Hannibal.
[11:28] Hannibal Lecter is described as having a midday duplication
[11:31] Polytech, tidy. That's a duplicated middle
[11:35] finger. On his left hand, which he later
[11:38] removes in a later novel, as part of his cosmetic surgery to
[11:41] disguise himself, mine para. Indian actress has a very small
[11:47] rudimentary finger on her left hand.
[11:49] The actors Gemma Arterton was born with six fingers on each
[11:53] hand but she had those removed Garfield sauber's West Indian
[11:58] cricketer had an extra finger on each hand which he removed
[12:02] himself. With the aid of catgut and a
[12:05] sharp knife. Yeah, yeah.
[12:09] Ouch. All right.
[12:11] And as you know, hritik Roshan, Greek god in an Indian body is
[12:17] an actor born with a extra thumb on his right hand.
[12:21] You know I have always wondered why Indian casting directors,
[12:25] don't go the extra mile when they're casting somebody as a
[12:28] young Hrithik Roshan and the try to find an actor with the young.
[12:33] It was like the sixth finger because watching Kabhi Khushi
[12:36] Kabhi Gham the other day and not do when he's young, he doesn't
[12:39] have six. Now he doesn't, that's not a
[12:42] very common thing. The you would actually need to
[12:45] find somebody who not only has Polydactyly wood fire would have
[12:49] to have the specific type of Polydactyly where they have an
[12:52] extra thumb on the right hand or I would have if I would
[12:55] appreciate, even the department just putting in that pathetic
[13:00] there. Yeah.
[13:01] This is a little bit, I would appreciate a bit of detail.
[13:07] Okay, so that was my question yours.
[13:09] Wonderful. Alright my next question so Miss
[13:12] Lisa was from the early 1500s many centuries.
[13:17] Later Napoleon was supposed to be infatuated with her and the
[13:22] historical infatuation led to him falling in love with the
[13:25] descendant of hers as well and she has a very famous mailbox
[13:31] too. Today.
[13:32] Who is this person? I speak of.
[13:34] Can you repeat the question? Of course I can.
[13:37] That is We thinking that that is too much of a giveaway have
[13:43] kept, very few facts in the question.
[13:46] So, let me repeat it. Miss Lisa, Lisa.
[13:51] I'll is a was in the early 1500s woman of stature and she had
[14:01] some level of affection, from Napoleon Bonaparte a many
[14:05] centuries later and he was Was so much in love with her.
[14:09] That he actually fell in love with some descendant of hers as
[14:13] well Teresa. And she has a very famous
[14:17] mailbox. She is a very famous mailbox,
[14:21] yeah. Okay.
[14:22] This is the Mona Lisa that he was in love with and he's, you
[14:27] know, I really regretted space that question so badly because
[14:31] it was like, I was supposed to Miss Lisa is supposed to be a
[14:33] whiskey mrs. Girardi me, which is the name of
[14:37] that. To be that are like, David.
[14:40] I give too much of it but you're right, you're absolutely right.
[14:43] You still cracked it and kudos to you.
[14:46] It is Mona, Lisa & Mona, Lisa has name actually is not Mona
[14:51] Lisa. It's Lisa gherardini.
[14:55] It is supposed. It's thought to be this
[14:57] particular woman. She was a merchant by for
[15:00] something, right? Yes, whose husband commissioned
[15:02] the work in Florence. Back in 1503 abilities and
[15:07] Napoleon Missy. Opposed to have had a massive
[15:10] Crush Allah on the painting and he then fell in love with Teresa
[15:16] gwad be happy. That's all said, who is supposed
[15:21] to have been a descendant of fisa and the famous mailbox is
[15:25] actually mailbox. She has a Louvre question
[15:28] assumes that many number of fan mail every year that she
[15:33] requires around postal box. Yeah, there's a dedicated post
[15:37] box just for Mona Lisa. I believe.
[15:41] And it's funny because you told me that some friend of yours
[15:45] told us that we should include more painting related trivia,
[15:49] yes, arts and culture art and culture, which brings me to my
[15:52] next question. Oh, what if I had this one plan?
[15:55] Anyways, and yours? I guess.
[15:58] Yeah. So this is more of a music
[16:00] rather than anything else. I'm fairly sure you'll get this
[16:03] very quickly, but, you know, this is one of my favorite
[16:08] anecdotes in the music industry. So the legend has it that this
[16:13] famous musician. Could play 27 instruments, way
[16:18] back in 2004, Rolling Stone magazine, left him out of there,
[16:24] 100 greatest guitarists of all time later during another
[16:28] artists introduction to the Rock and Roll Hall Of Same many of
[16:33] these many other artists, including this famous musician,
[16:37] came together to play a very famous song as a kind of big.
[16:41] F you to Rolling Stone during the middle of the song.
[16:45] This musician, stepped out from the background to deliver one of
[16:49] the most jaw-dropping guitar solos ever, seven years later in
[16:54] 2011, when Rolling Stone revised their list, they included this
[16:59] musician, citing his For performance during the induction
[17:04] ceremony, as one of his best. Can you name the musician and
[17:10] bonus points with bragging points?
[17:12] If you can tell me, who's induction, it was, and what song
[17:15] was being played, formal, was alive in proposal for?
[17:19] Is this person still alive? I actually have not heard of
[17:21] this. Okay, this person is
[17:24] unfortunately no longer with us, very famous, very famous artist.
[17:30] He was a Musical genius though. Not many people know that side
[17:35] of him as in his ability to play so many instruments and to play
[17:40] them extremely well. In fact, he is so known for his
[17:45] songs and other things that people don't technically usually
[17:49] think of him as this extremely talented guitarist, but he was
[17:53] amazing. Lord is going to expose my lack
[17:57] of knowledge about music in general.
[18:00] But I'm thinking mystica is Jimi Hendrix but not know.
[18:06] Not 2088, okay. For the time period and why I
[18:10] thought Freddie Mercury, but again, no, no, no, sorry Muffy,
[18:14] not much of a guitarist. He had an amazing vocal trainer.
[18:17] I think it was a two octave or four octave range.
[18:20] He had this amazing vocal range and he was, he was a Pianist.
[18:27] Is he a solo artist or is he part of a?
[18:29] But yes, so low. So, Solo artist.
[18:32] So, gonna make a wild guess here, he signed his first record
[18:38] deal when he was just 19. Oh, Jackson.
[18:45] But I know that. Now, Michael Jackson wasn't a
[18:50] guitarist, he was a dancer singer, but now is assuming that
[18:54] that's a feature. I didn't know that, you would
[18:55] also get eyes. But okay, then if it's not
[18:59] Michael Jackson, And it's just random people.
[19:03] I don't know. This is probably I'm going to
[19:06] say five fine, I'll look stupid. It's alright.
[19:08] Just for the entertainment sake. Nobody by any chance.
[19:12] Is it by any chance? Prince?
[19:14] It is Prince. Oh my God.
[19:17] That is such a wild guess the only reason is because they are
[19:20] very famous guitar. I remember the purple colored
[19:24] one. I believe he has no, I don't
[19:26] know about that particular piece of trivia but yes, this is good.
[19:29] He was an Amazing guitarist. And in 2004, when Rolling Stone
[19:34] released, this article with 100 greatest guitarists, they left
[19:38] him out. It was considered this kind of
[19:40] huge snubbed by Rolling Stone magazine.
[19:43] And then a few years later, during another artist, induction
[19:46] into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, do you know, which one
[19:50] goes in the for Lloyd? Are now, this was in.
[19:54] Yeah, so 2004. So that was George Harrison the
[19:59] beetle? His induction into the Rock and
[20:02] Roll Hall of Fame for. Yeah.
[20:06] See that's a problem. No, it's Lennon.
[20:08] And McCartney took all the, you know, the fame.
[20:12] Yeah. George Harrison & Harrison was
[20:16] in 2004. That is insane.
[20:18] Yeah, it was during his introduction.
[20:23] Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff line and Prince with another few
[20:29] artists. Formed what I think personally
[20:33] is one of the best Beatles songs and proper and George Harrison's
[20:37] best work. Do you know the song?
[20:41] Considering the fact that is an amazing guitar solo in between,
[20:46] that itself is a huge clue. So, this was While My Guitar,
[20:55] Gently Weeps, it's one of my favorite Beatles songs.
[21:01] It's one of the few songs that Harrison himself wrote and
[21:03] composed. If I'm not mistaken, he wrote
[21:06] and composed the song, it's just this amazing guitars.
[21:10] Song and you will really it's available on YouTube.
[21:13] It's one of the best live performances that you can see
[21:16] this huge band, you know, of very talented musicians, they
[21:22] are start playing and in the middle like you wouldn't even
[21:25] notice prints in the beginning, right?
[21:27] And in the middle, suddenly this, you know, light pops up in
[21:31] the middle of the stage and this man just walks in and just
[21:34] delivers. His amazing solo the swag with
[21:39] which he played. They'd like it was just
[21:42] effortless the way he played, it was just as amazing thing.
[21:46] I'll never forget seeing that video for the first type is just
[21:49] amazing. Yeah, so this was the thing.
[21:53] So then later in 2011, when Rolling Stone revised their
[21:56] list, they vary in home, they put his name back in and cited
[22:02] this particular performance, one of his best, we needed proof
[22:12] Okay, University in 1894 was having a fantastic run.
[22:23] And it's football matches. So in the football, tournament
[22:27] is in the u.s. American Football.
[22:29] They were having a fantastic run, but of course, I was
[22:35] worried that the other teams were copying their moves and
[22:40] stealing that place. So what originated from this
[22:47] particular instance? Modern-day practice originated
[22:53] from, this is the thing where they, you know, scream about
[22:57] Hope 32 33, 34 something bad, and I have no clue.
[23:02] I don't know, the basics of American football, I had a belt
[23:06] once heard of friend described it as rugby with helmets.
[23:12] Yeah, no, that'd be with concussion before laughs.
[23:15] I don't know. But no, that's not what the
[23:18] origin is. A little bit more.
[23:22] This University is a private university meant for the hearing
[23:26] impaired and the desk. Okay, so you work the sign
[23:30] language. They make they made up signs to
[23:34] show the to call the plays from the sideline the coach instead
[23:38] of shouting out the place he would you know, sighing them
[23:42] out. That they do that in baseball,
[23:45] right? Well again, you are asking me
[23:48] something. I don't know anything about.
[23:50] I'm not sure what they do in baseball.
[23:52] Oh yeah, dude you made you write your idea is I have yet and
[23:55] billions about baseball that smell.
[24:00] It's not that I'm guessing. No, it is not that it's a much
[24:04] more common practice. It's a okay.
[24:07] Now, it's a common practice in sport or in regular life
[24:12] recently in sport but even otherwise.
[24:14] Okay. Even otherwise sometimes I do so
[24:18] the he the guy, the coach is afraid that the opposite team is
[24:22] able to catch their place. The copy the place.
[24:26] Yeah, the right path and the right path.
[24:28] Yes. Yes.
[24:29] Okay. So they went up against two,
[24:31] other deaf schools and they beat them decisively.
[24:35] So the Pennsylvania dep school, they beat 20, 40 and the New
[24:39] York. That's cool.
[24:40] The B-26 but the gentlemen Paul habad is named the coach.
[24:45] He was worried that the other teams would steal their plays
[24:50] Sir. What happened next?
[24:53] Wait, is this the origin of ASL? American Sign Language?
[24:58] Now, this isn't the original. Okay.
[25:03] Huh. Copy this is.
[25:06] So what practice? I'm referring to.
[25:08] The modern-day practice is more. Sports related, but you can see
[25:13] it in some other context. Is it the heart l?
[25:17] It is the hurdle you are, right? It is the ha ha, ha, absolutely
[25:21] bad one. No boom, Paul.
[25:24] Yeah, Paul Herbert was afraid that his sign would be read and
[25:29] understood by the other team is well because everybody sign.
[25:33] Yes, yes. Yes, huh?
[25:36] So he decided to huddle up his players, former type Circle and
[25:39] then tell them about whatever they were going to do next.
[25:44] In short even though buddy else could see what they were talking
[25:47] about. Ya know, we have the same thing
[25:49] in the lab just today, I had a huddle with my team.
[25:53] We call it a huddle, you know, basically we're discussing
[25:55] something but then, yeah, I guess is that they're very
[25:59] little formation of getting into a circle and You know, bring
[26:06] your heads together that are the in the sports hunting context.
[26:09] Definitely was born from this instance, nice.
[26:15] Very nice. Very nice.
[26:17] Okay okay so this is I'm going to give you a list.
[26:21] This is a slightly tricky question think outside the box a
[26:24] little bit the first astronauts recruited by NASA were Scott
[26:31] Carpenter, Alan Shepard. Wally schirra from the US Navy
[26:38] Gordon. Cooper, Gus Grissom Deke Slayton
[26:42] from the US Air Force and John Glenn from the US Marine Corps.
[26:49] Why is there no one from the US Army?
[26:53] I know this. I know this.
[26:54] And this exactly. So trivial probably have it
[27:00] somewhere. Also. somebody from the Navy,
[27:06] the Air Force, and the US Marines, the Marine Corps
[27:11] Because the Army did not have any Pilots.
[27:16] Little more specific. I'll give it to you but if you
[27:18] can get the very specific reasons.
[27:24] Are you did not have any claims? No, no.
[27:28] The the US Army does not have testified at these were all test
[27:31] pilots. Yes, yes.
[27:35] The Army test pilot school. That's the reason why they are
[27:41] me did not contribute any astronauts towards the first
[27:44] astronaut program. The Mercury program.
[27:50] That was a very quick crack brilliant by the way.
[27:53] And alrighty. So let's do some etymology
[28:00] because yeah that's new okay so we Indians probably have all
[28:10] heard and read about rebellion of 1857.
[28:14] Yes, little questionably portrayed in the movie Mangal
[28:20] Pandey, but yes, we have already have even very questionably
[28:24] portrayed. So, the idea was that the
[28:29] cartridges Were Meant to have been quoted.
[28:36] A big fat. Exactly.
[28:38] So they were quoted in pig fat and sometimes even cows at that.
[28:42] So they were desecrating. Both the Muslims and the Hindus.
[28:47] Yes. What etymology Was born from
[28:52] this particular instance. It is thought to have been born
[28:55] for this instant I am tempted to say, bite the bullet, but I've
[29:01] heard that the it has an etymology from the American
[29:03] Civil War. Only, if you get it too quickly,
[29:11] this will be a short episode. It is by the bullet, your idea,
[29:16] right? It is bite the bullet.
[29:18] The idea being bite the bullet of cause the phrase means to
[29:21] just suck it up and and do what is asked of you.
[29:25] So going to be the Indian sepoys were told to bite the bullet as
[29:31] they were to pull the cartridge out and hence I guess coming to
[29:37] sacrileges act, they were biting the bullet.
[29:41] Just because that was their job and those who didn't were not
[29:45] really goodbye. Emily.
[29:47] You're right. It does have a contested
[29:49] etymology. So this one would be from the
[29:52] American Civil War. And the idea was during these
[29:57] wars, amputations feel a tation happening.
[30:00] You had to bite on something. So you did not bite your own
[30:02] tongue off, so they had bullets available.
[30:06] However, this is a technology is a bit contested because there
[30:09] are more accounts of soldiers. They're biting onto leather
[30:13] straps. Hmm.
[30:15] Mix. And then bullets themselves will
[30:17] surely break your teeth. Yeah, so you would want to buy
[30:20] it on to something like a lettuce wrap.
[30:23] This is what it is. Also.
[30:24] Something that is useful knowledge.
[30:26] If anybody near you is ever having a stroke, you can use a
[30:30] wallet to make sure that they don't bite on the better.
[30:33] But the first you want to keep something which is not as hard
[30:36] as Apple it. So probably not the origin from
[30:39] the American Civil War. Hence, the Indian version might
[30:42] have some credibility. I have heard from I think I've
[30:52] mentioned to you before the right listen quite religiously
[30:56] to a podcast named Empire with Anita Anand and William
[31:01] Dalrymple and they have this episode which is a beautiful
[31:05] description of the first the revolution of 1857 and what they
[31:13] mention is that It's not just the Indians.
[31:15] Even the British soldiers were not were completely hesitant to
[31:21] bite into this because it was like, biting into Vaseline.
[31:24] Oh, I see. Yeah, yeah.
[31:27] And there were other things also happening, which kind of stoke
[31:30] the Flames that many of these soldiers.
[31:33] Felt that kind of religious conversion thing was also being
[31:37] pushed onto them. So there were a lot of factors
[31:40] again to the people listening. Empire is probably a One of the
[31:45] best podcast I have listened to and plugging them on a free of
[31:48] cost, we have nothing to do with it.
[31:51] But I would love to have a kind of a little Ripple as a guest if
[31:53] nothing else to just hear him talk for two hours.
[31:57] But yeah, so that's a beautiful episode on 1857.
[32:01] A very balanced view, taking both the both the sides.
[32:06] He takes both the sides and presents its beautifully.
[32:09] Just taking that because I am obsessed with that podcast.
[32:11] I'm practically obsessed with it.
[32:14] Well, no, we all have another podcast live apart, from this
[32:18] wonderful one that we currently in.
[32:20] Yes, yes, yes. Yes.
[32:22] This is the best of the best. All right there.
[32:27] Okay, my God, are you afraid of the dark?
[32:32] It's a horror Anthology television series which aired on
[32:37] Nickelodeon from 1992 to 1996 season 3, episode 10, The Tale
[32:47] of the dream, girl, has long been speculated as having been
[32:53] the inspiration of this iconic horror movie.
[32:57] One of the very few to be nominated for best picture at
[33:01] the Oscars. In the year 2000.
[33:05] Which movie, it's one of the very, very few horror movies to
[33:13] be, you know, nominated for best film.
[33:20] Best picture best picture he is and you said the name of the
[33:27] episode was dreamville, so you can repeat the name ESO.
[33:31] The the series is called Are You Afraid of the Dark?
[33:34] And the Toad was called the tail of the dream girl, and this
[33:41] movie did not win the Oscar. They did not win the Oscar, but
[33:45] it was one of the very few horror movies nominated for Best
[33:49] Picture item of Silence of the Lambs qualifies as a horror
[33:55] film. Yes.
[33:56] The Silence of the Lambs is one of those which has been
[33:59] nominated for best picture, but it know, this is that Has 1990
[34:06] 1982 somewhere around those around that time, if I'm not
[34:10] mistaken. A little bit more.
[34:23] Okay, the very famous horror movie with a, with an Indian
[34:32] connect. Yes, is it?
[34:39] Oh man. M night.
[34:42] Is he recognized me? Yes, he is the Kinect.
[34:45] So then which is the movie and then then we're talking about my
[34:50] God, you're plugging your blanket.
[34:53] I love this. Come on, I did yeah.
[34:57] How many senses do you have? I see myself as a dead person
[35:00] right now. How many times did
[35:18] The discussion Boards of the time that this movie was
[35:23] inspired by this episode. So the episode goes something
[35:27] like this, okay? The story is about a young man
[35:29] who is haunted by a dead girl. He tries to get help get help
[35:33] from his sister but in the and he realizes that his sister is
[35:38] the only other person who can see him besides the dead girl,
[35:42] he can see the dead girl because he too is dead and he died in
[35:46] the same accident as the dead girl.
[35:47] And they were a couple and at the end of the episode, he goes
[35:51] on to the Afterlife with her. So you have this concept of
[35:53] somebody who's dead, the lead character being dead and not
[35:57] knowing the fact that he's dead. Spoiler alert. 24 years later.
[36:01] But still So, the episode reminded a lot of people about
[36:05] the sixth sense in a lot of places online, but shamblin,
[36:09] allegedly out righted site to the episode, is an influence on
[36:12] the sixth sense. In a lot of places on my new
[36:16] find articles, which says that he has cited the episode as an
[36:19] influence, however, in an interview at screen, crush with
[36:25] Shyamalan, Brit Hayes. Got to the bottom, I was of
[36:28] whether the story is true or not, and Shyamalan specifically
[36:31] said no. So, It's just a coincidence.
[36:38] Lovely coils. It made his career, kind of
[36:43] actually also doomed his career because I feel that after a
[36:46] practical after that movie, he I think felt the need to put a
[36:49] Twist in everything. Oh, yeah, you can decide to buy
[36:53] redeem himself. And some of the twists
[36:57] purchased, I mean, like, seriously signs.
[36:59] Did you do remember the twisting signs?
[37:02] It was ridiculous. Yeah, I mean, like it just
[37:06] boggles the imagination that aliens would travel billions of
[37:10] more. Millions of light-years get to a
[37:12] planet that is 70% water without realizing the fact that they're
[37:17] allergic to water. Come on.
[37:21] This is silly. I hope he comes back with a good
[37:25] movie soon. No, apparently, yes, apparently,
[37:28] there is a, this is new movie. It's called.
[37:30] What is it called at the cabin? At the end of the world?
[37:32] Or what is it called? Oh, yes, I have seen promos for
[37:36] that is, that is deputies family day.
[37:39] But yes, the family which is being threatened by they Batista
[37:43] and Rupert Grint of all these people.
[37:46] Lovely to see him back. Yeah, he's taken time out from
[37:50] his real estate. Portfolio.
[37:52] Ruben is ice cream. No, she's not a realtor.
[37:56] He's basically invested a lot in real estate.
[37:59] He has his ice cone. Ice cream truck keys, lives his
[38:02] life. When you make that much money as
[38:04] a kid, you can live your life with a, however you want.
[38:10] All right, my question, tell me beneath what do these things
[38:17] have in common? I'm going to list a few things
[38:19] in. Tell me what that I can tell you
[38:20] right now, they are all being narrated by you.
[38:23] That is the right answer. I think we're done for this
[38:25] photo. No, I will not give.
[38:29] I think I've given you a few easy ones this round.
[38:32] So I'm gonna hopefully this it will be tough but you're too
[38:34] smart. He's even seriously.
[38:37] Kangaroo words was easy for you. I literally said, Miss is now
[38:40] like I do. Scandinavian Islands.
[38:49] Okay. Towns in Denmark, flowers and
[38:53] plants areas. In Norway names of boys and
[38:57] names of girls. What do these things all have in
[39:00] common? What?
[39:04] Names of voices names of girl. Filthy all the millions of names
[39:09] boys and girls. You want to tell me what is in
[39:12] common with that? Yeah, I don't know where that is
[39:15] a terribly, terrific, I'm trying to make this hard.
[39:22] Okay. All right.
[39:24] Yes sir. One more time.
[39:25] So, Scandinavian Islands. So that's the first thing.
[39:29] The next one is towns in Denmark.
[39:31] Okay. Third, one is flowers and
[39:34] plants. Fourth is areas in Norway.
[39:38] The fifth is names of boys, especially in a Germanic
[39:43] language. And names of girls in the
[39:47] Germanic languages names of boys names of girls.
[39:50] It has anything to do with the Kingdom of Denmark and Norway.
[39:57] Not really. No.
[39:59] Okay, Scandinavian Ivan's. Why does that somehow ring a
[40:05] bell somewhere? Scandinavian Islands have to
[40:07] find prefix or something, right? The islands were something.
[40:12] No, this is beyond my pay grade. Okay, so then it's so fabulous.
[40:17] At least it's not in the context of this case on the context of
[40:21] this scan. Anyway, a lot of Scandinavia
[40:25] Names. Have not, they're not
[40:27] particularly Germanic, but lot of Scandinavian names have son
[40:30] and daughter in the name. So thorstein eirik's daughter,
[40:34] that kind of thing, but that's Iceland.
[40:36] I think. I would not be too shallow but
[40:40] anyways, it's not the case in this fact.
[40:42] Okay. Would you like a hint?
[40:45] Yes, I will go. This was the cup.
[40:47] Okay? So the connection between all of
[40:49] these is the reason behind all of these in some ways.
[40:54] Dyslexia, this particular individual had dyslexia, oh
[40:59] wait, there's a kind of connect is a person who no way how can
[41:03] names of girls and names of boys.
[41:05] Be connected to a person. Well I did not say it's
[41:08] connected to the person themselves but the reason that
[41:11] they came to be the reason that this list This is because one
[41:15] person had dyslexia, this one particular person.
[41:19] Had dyslexia person had dyslexia surprisingly large, number of
[41:24] creative people have dyslexia, so that doesn't particularly
[41:29] narrow it down, but it's a list. You said, Denmark names of boys
[41:38] and girls, and Germanic Regions. Nope, dude.
[41:45] Nothing I'm going to give you one more connection.
[41:48] Maybe this helps Sweden. Yeah, not helping.
[41:56] The country of Sweden. No, with the I did, you know.
[42:02] Well, that's wonderful guess, but no, it's not that I dance in
[42:05] this case. Nothing to do with monarchies
[42:07] right? No, it's not.
[42:10] Well tell you I'll tell you a little bit more so I hope I will
[42:13] get you there. It's a company.
[42:16] The Kinect is actually a company.
[42:19] Ikea, Ikea is the right answer. You are bang on.
[42:24] Okay, so there's this is this is the name, the names of their
[42:27] rare. The their products arranges is
[42:29] something that right, exactly. Exactly.
[42:32] So ingvar kamprad. Zoom.
[42:36] That's how it's pronounced. Was a find that founder of Ikea.
[42:40] He had dyslexia. So he had trouble, remembering
[42:43] item codes. So he signified it by naming
[42:46] things after a specific category.
[42:49] So let's give you examples, outdoor furniture is named after
[42:53] Scandinavian Islands. Rugs are named after thousands
[42:58] in Denmark. Okay?
[43:00] Bed and bath accessories are named after flowers and plants.
[43:04] The beds, the beds are named after areas.
[43:07] In Norway shelves, are named after the common boys names and
[43:14] fabrics and curtains are named after the female names, girls
[43:18] names. So all of these basically fall
[43:20] under a broad category, and while they might sound random to
[43:23] us, they make a lot of sense to people who speak the north
[43:26] Germanic languages. Swedish and how region that's a
[43:33] source of Ikea names. Ikea there is a related you know
[43:39] something a concept is very similar to this i-i'll.
[43:44] Just say it I mean like I don't plan to put it as a question
[43:47] anyway. But if I remember correctly and
[43:49] other thing you may want to fact-check this but Volkswagen
[43:54] names. Its cars after particular to In.
[44:00] Okay, interesting. So the Scirocco the Jetta.
[44:04] These are all data I think is after the Jetstream Scirocco so
[44:08] type of wind from somewhere in Europe or something and so they
[44:11] are the names of their cars. Mostly are from you know, named
[44:15] after winds. So they have that concept.
[44:18] If I'm not mistaken, we will have to fact-check this but I'm
[44:22] fairly sure that's a fact. Okay.
[44:27] So the final question for me for this episode, this game was
[44:35] spawned from a discussion between Bob Guernsey who was a
[44:39] sporting goods retailer Hayes Knoll who was a stockbroker and
[44:45] Charles Gaines was a writer. They were all good friends and
[44:50] the enjoyed sitting down over a beer or two and discussing all
[44:53] sorts of topics. One of the topics they have been
[44:56] discussing or debating was survival in the woods,
[45:00] specifically they questioned whether or not a city dweller
[45:04] with Street, smarts could hold his own against a country person
[45:08] in the woods. This debate continued on for a
[45:12] few years until they came up with this game.
[45:16] For the game, they utilized equipment, which was originally
[45:19] made for use by loggers and Cattlemen, which game are we
[45:25] talking about? Settlers of Catan?
[45:34] Is it a board game? Now, it is not.
[45:41] All the makings of a board game. Is it a then I would assume it's
[45:47] a video game. It is not Okay?
[45:53] So the board game is not a video game, it's an in-person game.
[45:59] Okay, it cannot be tic-tac-toe. No, no it's not tic-tac-toe.
[46:06] Only lot more ancient. Could you tell me about where
[46:13] this came up? Is it the US?
[46:17] It is and did you go to the states?
[46:21] The year, I believe would be 1981.
[46:27] Oh, that's a fairly recent one, dude.
[46:30] That's like 40 years ago. No, no.
[46:32] But I'm in the context of games in the context of human history.
[46:36] Yes it is. Okay.
[46:41] And the sorry could you repeat what the the good articles, what
[46:46] is it the the resources used were so the utilized equipment,
[46:51] which is originally made for use by loggers and Cattlemen, or is
[46:56] it Jenga? Ah, no, it is not ginga-dono.
[47:02] Then I need a bit more of a head.
[47:05] Okay. Is it a particular sorry?
[47:11] Is it a card game? It is not a card game.
[47:14] So the equipment that they're using was developed in the
[47:21] 1960s. And it was used by Cattlemen and
[47:28] it was never intended to be used for a game with people involved.
[47:34] It was used for cattle loggers also use these.
[47:40] Okay, let's just put this just listen to this portion.
[47:42] This is specifically the clue. So one of the topics as we
[47:45] mentioned that, these guys kept debating is whether somebody who
[47:49] was raised in the city, it was a city dweller could go up.
[47:53] Up against an experienced Woodman in a, you know, in the
[47:58] context of, you know, the woods and survival and whatnot.
[48:06] It's used quite a bit nowadays by a lot of players
[48:13] independently as well as corporates.
[48:17] Team building exercises and was not, not in India but I think in
[48:21] the west, yes it is. One of those things.
[48:23] It's a team sport. Like it's a team-based game.
[48:27] It can be placed solo but it can also be played in teams.
[48:31] My God. What is this game?
[48:34] Why is he okay? No, I'm still completely drawing
[48:41] a blank. You know, when you said these
[48:44] are all right. I can't believe that's the first
[48:45] one that came to it, like, pin the tail.
[48:48] Like, we lose our country, dweller, be able to pin the
[48:53] tail, get it. So then this Bend is game was
[48:59] first started. You know, an article was
[49:03] published about it in the 1981 October issue of Sports
[49:06] Illustrated and they began selling it as a survival game.
[49:13] They sell sold a kit and with the rules and everything and it
[49:17] was termed a survival game is 1982 81, 81 82, wow, no idea
[49:27] completely. Okay, so this let me just put it
[49:30] this way. If a computers and first-person
[49:35] shooters hadn't come along, this would still be, this would
[49:38] probably be everywhere. It is still quite a lot but not
[49:42] as like, if you're a person who likes first person shooters in,
[49:46] this is definitely the game for you paint.
[49:50] Yes it is pain for. Wow.
[49:53] Okay interesting tell me more. Tell me more.
[49:57] Yeah, so the first paintball gun was invented in the 60s by the
[50:00] Nelson Paint Company. Any they didn't call it a gun,
[50:03] they called it a marker. Okay, so it was never intended
[50:07] to be used on people. It was intended to be used by a
[50:10] loggers in Cattlemen loggers would use this to Mark trees
[50:14] which they needed to cut down and Cattlemen used to Mark
[50:17] cattle while on Horseback the original paint pots used an
[50:23] oil-based fill. And the first official game took
[50:26] place on June. 7th, 1981 in a wooded area of New Hampshire.
[50:32] So Bob, Guernsey the Sporting Goods retailer fellow, he wrote
[50:36] the rules of the game very soon. An article was published in
[50:39] Sports Illustrated and they saw the opportunity and began
[50:42] survive and selling a survival game package for $150.
[50:46] The package, the kit rather included a paintball marker,
[50:51] paintballs goggles and a rule book.
[50:54] However at the time it wasn't called paintball, it was known
[50:57] as the national Survival game. Wow.
[51:00] National Survival game others. Yes.
[51:03] Easing the situation. Yeah, it's a wonderful piece of
[51:09] trivia so that's the end of our episode for today.
[51:16] But before We leave. Let's try with your cash up.
[51:19] What's your question? Yeah.
[51:22] Actually, you know what? Let's ask this question.
[51:25] So we we mentioned how Prince was left out of the, of the
[51:30] Rolling. Stones West massive Rolling
[51:33] Stone. This is the the magazine Rolling
[51:35] Stone is my back Rolling. Stone list, what other Artist
[51:42] did the Rolling Stone forget when they made that top, but it
[51:46] guitarist. It's okay.
[51:53] Let me just tell it to people right now.
[51:55] The obvious answer is not everybody other than the
[51:57] hundred, everything more specific in mind rather he will
[52:06] come up with something more specific.
[52:10] At some point during the next week.
[52:12] Yes, I will. Yes.
[52:13] Yes. So, join us again next week to
[52:15] torture yourself. That's all for this episode.
