## 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.
[0:35] Another day, another episode, and B are back.
[0:38] And as usual, before we start our proceedings for this
[0:41] episode, we have to suffer the indignity of listening to other
[0:46] ideas. Answer of his question from last
[0:49] week. I should be offended, but I am
[0:53] not surprisingly mostly because I know what I am going to answer
[0:57] this question. And I again I can already
[1:00] preempt the agony and groans that To be elicited but let's go
[1:06] for it. So, the question that I asked
[1:08] last episode was, if there was a musical that was made on the
[1:12] movie sholay iconic movie sholay, what would it, what
[1:15] should it be called? And I realized I want to go down
[1:19] a route where we pay homage to classical American musicals
[1:23] while still talking about movie sholay A Beloved movie sholay.
[1:28] So I have a couple of examples and anybody who's going to do
[1:30] this can use any of these royalty free.
[1:34] The Nightmare Before holy because everything is going
[1:38] wrong and I'm going to be for Holy.
[1:43] Of course you've seen Cabaret. But have you seen Gabourey
[1:47] kidney Now Music? A lot.
[1:48] Governor say needs and the last one because I am such a bit
[1:53] here. Molly fan.
[1:55] Instead of rent, it would be Kent from water.
[1:58] Purifier. Also a branding that you can use
[2:03] the iconic No water to be seen Kent.
[2:10] That is so bad on so many levels.
[2:16] I'm just, I'm just giving some, some wonderful marketing
[2:20] opportunities to any uses water tank be seen.
[2:26] If it is branded as tent. And that's that's how, you know,
[2:29] the name of the musical. Yeah, I think I need to dial an
[2:32] ambulance right now. We'll be back.
[2:34] Draft, went back to the hospital already.
[2:37] Hmm. You know what?
[2:38] I could save you, I could say. Well, let's start with some
[2:40] trivia. Let's do some Trivium.
[2:42] That should contribute. That's just so I start out the
[2:45] Proceedings. Today, I'm going to give you a
[2:48] list of Military Officers. I need you to tell me what's
[2:53] common among them Lieutenant? Abdomen use Rye, major Arjun
[3:00] Singh, major RP Sharma, Squadron leader, VP Singh and major Samar
[3:07] Anand. I needed to connect these
[3:10] Military Officers and tell me how they know what's the
[3:14] constructs of connect. Basically, were they all
[3:17] portrayed in the movie loc? No.
[3:21] Okay. Is there is there an award that
[3:25] connects all of them? No, but there is a year that we
[3:28] click, there are multiple years. I'll give you some.
[3:30] Here's okay. Along with the nails.
[3:32] I think that might help it along.
[3:34] So left Lieutenant, I'll be when your eye is from 1989.
[3:40] Major Arjun Singh is from 1996. Major RT.
[3:46] Sharma is from 2004. Squadron leader.
[3:50] VP Singh is also from 2004. And major summer, Anand is from
[3:55] 2012. It's a very interesting relief
[3:58] raised list that you gave is from 2004.
[4:03] So are we saying that they were given something that in the
[4:08] year? And now, the title continues
[4:09] has, is it a title that they were awarded?
[4:12] No, it's not a diaper. Not an award not.
[4:15] Title, you got a real close. Okay, I have a full disclosure.
[4:18] You got a little close with your first try.
[4:20] I thought you caught it quickly like, in the first attempt.
[4:23] But then, when I heard your answer, I was like, okay, he's
[4:26] still far away silver. I was gonna say, biopic also,
[4:31] some Indian soldiers, have had bio page, but no, not by ethics,
[4:35] not bad. What is the first name?
[4:39] So, the first name is Lieutenant, Abbie manure.
[4:42] I is a beam on you, right there that.
[4:45] Soldier from Cargill Del manga more?
[4:51] No, no, no. All right, somebody else.
[4:54] Yeah, okay, hmm. That was the chrome battery.
[4:59] Oh yeah, that is become. But what is a big money, right?
[5:01] Seem very familiar name yet very familiar but it to you by
[5:05] founding the year. No, we're arguing, you're not
[5:09] fair. That's much before gargle.
[5:12] I'll be my new ride. Okay.
[5:13] Are there the military bases? Me, Named after these people?
[5:16] No, no, you're going when you're going colder and colder, I would
[5:20] go back to your first two answers.
[5:22] First answer was loc, the movie, okay.
[5:26] Think similar vein but different is a very silly question.
[5:30] Now I think of it and I just seems so silly now that I think
[5:33] of it the great putting this question now people are going to
[5:36] be like a tri. What question is?
[5:38] If it's okay, then if everything we just go or not then upwards
[5:43] in this episode from here. Give me a hint to me and I'm
[5:48] currently a bit lost. Okay, it's related to the movies
[5:51] and I would specifically asked you to focus on one particular
[5:56] actor, rather than any other industry.
[6:01] One particular actor 1989, is that what he said?
[6:05] Yes. So if an actor was active in
[6:08] 1989, portray this character I can only think of Sunny deol for
[6:13] some reason. Is it Sunil Sunil Shetty?
[6:18] So he said, you know, let me just give you one last look
[6:22] before I give it. So I would it's kind of ironic
[6:26] that this person has played all these characters, then this
[6:31] actor himself. And the fact is that, most
[6:33] people may not remember these names.
[6:36] The, even though they may remember the movies, they may
[6:38] not remember these names, but it's very ironic that this actor
[6:41] is known for having economist prototypical.
[6:45] Names throughout his career as characters is characters have
[6:48] like very memorable names and people here that they're like,
[6:52] oh okay, this actor. Oh, okay, that that this
[6:56] automatically to to Shahrukh Khan.
[6:58] Yeah, it is. These are, these are movies.
[7:00] These are military characters. Would be portrayed by Shahrukh
[7:03] Khan. Oh, no way.
[7:05] It's played so many military characters.
[7:07] Yes. Now the bonus points bragging
[7:12] rights. If you can tell me which movie
[7:14] is, these are from So let's go backwards.
[7:18] Okay, 2012 Summer on. And Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
[7:23] Yes, 2004. Squadron leader VP Singh be
[7:29] imperative, saying, wheels are exactly P saying, and feared
[7:34] said, we're not obsessing about. I've gotten this leg.
[7:37] I needed the question. Harpy Sharma.
[7:47] Ram. Prasad Sharma.
[7:54] Yes. Okay.
[7:56] Now the next two, maybe not that easy, major are ginseng.
[8:02] Implicature is a hardcore fan to get that which idiot is this?
[8:08] This would be 94 96. So, maybe six don't know about
[8:15] the movie and it's called Are we doing here?
[8:18] Acted in the movie from the Army and the first one 1989 Lessman
[8:24] of him in your eye. He was in 4G.
[8:28] It wasn't for G. Yes.
[8:29] And that's why the name sound so familiar because recently, I was
[8:32] seeing something about there when this first few rolls of
[8:35] you. And this is a fun question.
[8:38] That's a fun question. I like this.
[8:39] Thank you. Thank you.
[8:43] Let's talk invention. Okay, so, The man in question
[8:49] here is Francis William a person gentlemen back in 1923 okay,
[9:00] filed a patent for this invention of his, okay?
[9:04] He accidentally invented this particular thing, and of cold
[9:09] night, cold, cold night when he was trying to create a certain
[9:14] drink and somehow ended up with This invention at the end of it.
[9:19] Okay, he and it is also named after his after him in a
[9:26] roundabout way. It's named after him in a
[9:28] roundabout way, this invention, what am I talking about?
[9:31] So he'll meet for a drink, he was trying to create a drink but
[9:36] he ended up with something else. It's trying to create a drink
[9:40] over, he ended up with something else.
[9:44] And what was his name again? Francis Frances William a person
[9:50] Frances billion per person. Know a person ever since e.
[9:55] TT. ER Sol.
[9:57] And you mentioned that he made another very cold night.
[10:01] Yes, that should be a good clue for tonight.
[10:05] This is in California, San Francisco back in 1923.
[10:11] There is any patented it. He first created it in 1905 or
[10:16] maybe version self. Happy when he was himself a
[10:18] child. Okay, he was a child of a time
[10:22] trying to make a drink on a cold night, like screams been there
[10:28] for like gazillions of your and like, even the mughals that ice
[10:33] cream so it can be high school team.
[10:36] Is it that, you know, the thing with a partially freeze, the
[10:40] thing, and then they crush it and they give it to you.
[10:42] What is it called? / e.
[10:45] No, it's alright /. It's a great guest actually but
[10:47] Under /e. And I also said it was named
[10:50] after him, but in the roundabout way.
[10:52] So, technically it does not have his name in it, but it was named
[10:56] after him by his children after him, by his children.
[11:02] Yeah. Satanism is Frank Wright.
[11:06] Yeah. Frances same, Frank, Oz.
[11:10] Sis, Frank. No, no.
[11:12] The name is our girl lead you to the answer.
[11:14] The name is not going to lead you to the object.
[11:17] So it's not that we're trying to make a drink on a cold night.
[11:21] It's not a slushy, it's not ice cream, we'll just that you don't
[11:24] Meander too far. It is in that in that space
[11:28] somewhere in that space is. Okay.
[11:30] Can you give me a closer weather?
[11:31] Is it a frozen thing? Is it frozen?
[11:33] Or is it just to say? Exactly exactly why.
[11:36] I said it was a very cold night. Yes, it is a frozen item, okay?
[11:42] But this is frozen. What else is Frozen?
[11:47] Frozen. Oh, the the thing under stick,
[11:51] what is it called? Not a lollipop.
[11:56] And so, glad to you right now. You're there.
[11:58] You're there, you are, was left. The popsicle, little popsicle
[12:01] sake. That's the one we actually
[12:07] invented the. I thought it was a pretty
[12:09] obvious thing that you don't feel something bigger, but he'll
[12:14] he patented Frozen ice on State. And what happened was in this
[12:18] cold night in 1905, when he was himself a child, he was making a
[12:23] little glass of lemonade soda and water and he left a mixing
[12:28] stick in it and he left it outside on the porch.
[12:31] And when he went back the next day he saw Ben, we got a patent
[12:35] for that. He got a bin for that.
[12:38] Yeah. And the name initially used to
[12:42] sell it as a sickle ice pop, No, but his children in Sin City
[12:46] called pops. Sequels.
[12:48] And that's the name popsicle game from Pops icicles.
[12:53] That's a great question. That's a great question fundal
[12:57] question. He has the right Scions, very
[13:00] surprised that something like a popsicle which I believe almost
[13:04] every child has done at some point like just taken a soda or
[13:09] juice or something over here. That I've done that, I do have
[13:14] an experiment. I'm just I'm just, I'm just I'm
[13:17] trying to get my head around. The fact that you could paitent
[13:20] a popsicle, basically, like you said it frozen ice around a
[13:23] stick. I know I was just born in the
[13:24] wrong Century. Whenever I tell you, yes, you
[13:27] have it much rather have a popsicle.
[13:32] That's my question. All right, you got that, okay,
[13:35] this is something you can work out, okay, okay.
[13:39] Rabe ujin's, it's an insect that sheds its exoskeleton so it has
[13:46] room to grow. But what it does is it keeps the
[13:50] skin that it shed on its head stacked on top of each other.
[13:55] This particular insect is nicknamed blank.
[14:00] Something that reminds you of a famous literary character from
[14:03] the 19th century and the fact that it looks like a
[14:07] caterpillar. So give me, it's nicknamed, it
[14:10] keeps the shredded skin on top of its head, over to the side of
[14:16] its head. On top of the head.
[14:18] So it just piles up like, yes, it piles up.
[14:21] So think literally characters from the 19th century and the
[14:28] fact that it's a caterpillar, put these together and what kind
[14:33] of clever nickname would you probably get very, very, very
[14:37] terrible answer. Is this ramayana in portrait
[14:44] mode so I'm sorry that is just so bad.
[14:47] Oh God, no. How many more days but would
[14:52] technically good, stop it right there.
[15:20] Famous character. Okay, now, just decide what I'd
[15:23] like to do you visualize what this caterpillar would look like
[15:26] right? It's got this kind of dead skin
[15:29] piled on top of its head. One on top of the other it's a
[15:31] caterpillar and they've given it a nickname from a famous
[15:36] literary character from a 19th century classic which I
[15:39] guarantee you, you great. I have red candy.
[15:44] Okay, interesting. This book buying gems.
[15:49] Yes, you could say that, most people read the raided when you
[15:52] have a child, but it is how to build new ones to enough that I
[15:57] know many adults who still quote from it.
[16:00] Hmm, a lot of sightings things. It's a very deep novel.
[16:06] I'm inclined to say Roald Dahl now, 1968 - organized me.
[16:11] This is for World on 19th century.
[16:17] I cannot visualize A Single Character.
[16:19] Hell's a look of a diet is hook. Try a try, what children's book
[16:24] of Amos kinda Chillin book polluting from the 19th century.
[16:27] Wow. I'm no, no.
[16:28] Okay, so just imagine you had a preacher which had the skin
[16:33] right on top of its head. What would it look like?
[16:35] What would that file? Maybe if you had a pile of
[16:38] something on top of your head? What would think it?
[16:39] Will resemble just just for our listeners reference.
[16:43] We record this late at night. So if I have nightmares, His
[16:49] head's bind on top of whatever you need, I'm gonna be kids.
[16:53] Like, just imagine you have something piled up on top of
[16:56] your head. What would that they my?
[16:57] What kind of garbage food that remind you of the burden?
[17:02] Okay. Let me think 1950 England for my
[17:06] name is Andre England. Oh, is it?
[17:09] The the headgear that the guards were at?
[17:16] This is much simpler. Much much better answer Castle.
[17:20] No. Okay, the royal guard.
[17:23] It was a coin. No it's not that.
[17:25] It's kind of government a top hat.
[17:30] Okay yeah you got it right the first time.
[17:33] A top hat. Okay.
[17:34] Now think hack think the fact it's caterpillar and think what
[17:40] character from the 19th century. You can think of caterpillar the
[17:43] top hat. Oh my God, I am just again, I'm
[17:46] blanking. Doing the same thing you did.
[17:49] I'm I can almost picture this. You can almost taste it kind of
[17:53] you. Oh boy, give me a hand.
[17:57] Give me a busy, man. Okay, well I listened on the map
[18:01] and this is what I do. I do.
[18:09] I love that. These are the moments where
[18:11] listeners are in agony because the electives figured it out.
[18:49] Mad at the pillow, boy. This this.
[18:52] I I don't know to talk this anymore since its finest Mad
[18:58] Hatter filler. Ha ha ha.
[19:00] It's such a lovely name, man. Had okay cool.
[19:06] Google Al Google. This little creature later.
[19:12] Yeah, let's move on to my question in the year 2011.
[19:17] This particular over, I'm doing an invention question again.
[19:20] I don't realize it. Okay, let's do this.
[19:22] This particular invention was awarded a global price.
[19:29] Okay, it was meant to be an alarm, Okay?
[19:35] A fire alarm for deaf people and it's a 400-pound alarm.
[19:45] It's an expensive alarm, but it 400,000 the price the price for
[19:51] yes. Yes but it is the most effective
[19:55] alarm that they could find. Okay, try the bunch of items.
[19:59] First before settling on the file, one that they want like
[20:04] Nobel Prize for. Do you want to make a guess as
[20:06] to what was the final item? The used as a, as a, as a fire
[20:13] alarm for deaf people, okay? So it can't be anything.
[20:17] That obviously makes sound yes. If you have to be something that
[20:22] they can see assuming that this person is not both blind and
[20:26] deaf. Let's start a bad guess but in
[20:32] this case it is not the right answer.
[20:34] Okay. So it's not something they can
[20:36] see so we can smell but then they will be able to smell the
[20:40] fire. Anyway smell.
[20:44] Wait, is it something like hydrogen sulfide?
[20:46] It gets Eastern about hydrogen sulfide, is flammable.
[20:49] They wouldn't do that blind. You are a scientist clearly that
[20:55] you are you're very much on the right path.
[20:57] I would imagine that they did not go with something that you
[21:00] can see because again a fire alarm is used in places like a
[21:04] house and and alarm would have to be in a very room and visible
[21:09] from every angle which is beautiful and something like
[21:12] sound doesn't have that barrier so they had to come up with an
[21:16] alternative. So You won't you were pretty
[21:18] much on the right track with smell.
[21:21] Okay, so it is something they can smell.
[21:23] Yes. So which is why I said they
[21:25] tried on a bunch of things kept families.
[21:28] The mercaptans, those are the things that are added to LPG to
[21:31] make it smell. No, it's not that it is not that
[21:35] deep, I think of an alarm because an LPG smell also.
[21:39] At least in my experience is something that isn't alarming.
[21:44] It is are at least he gets away. Not in the sense of I meant
[21:51] alarming in the sense of it instantly hits you.
[21:55] So at least in my experience that LPG smell is almost like
[21:59] I'm usually like a easy thing. If it's something enough for you
[22:04] to is it is pungent. It is actually very, very
[22:07] pungent is my point. It is extremely pungent.
[22:10] They probably experimented with the, the particular compound you
[22:15] mentioned as well, but they need it would be really, really
[22:18] pungent smelling salts, ammonia Rose.
[22:24] Things was they, I'll give you a couple of examples that they Try
[22:27] It Out. Try It Out rotten eggs and
[22:32] submit your problem. Yeah, so one of them, one of
[22:35] them are. But again, rotten eggs was not
[22:37] good enough for probably for the reason that you mentioned as
[22:40] well that it's flammable before they settled on this particular.
[22:46] Final items or Organics is one of them.
[22:49] This is not are not. Hot legs, not the captain, it's
[22:55] not ammonia. Can potentially make you jump
[22:59] up. Literally it was supposed to be
[23:03] something that somebody would be able to.
[23:04] Also another reason that the visual one wouldn't work is that
[23:08] you need to be able to react to it even if you're asleep.
[23:16] So it needs to be something that's powerful enough to wake
[23:18] somebody where they are asleep. So it will prove that I'm still
[23:22] coming back to the smelling salts.
[23:25] Yeah, it's a let me bring you a bit closer.
[23:29] These particular scientists were from Japan.
[23:34] That doesn't help. Okay, so the alarm is a 50,000
[23:37] yen alarm or a 400-pound alarm. So something really expensive.
[23:42] The oef/oif force it £400? Yes, informative.
[23:46] Very expensive and it's something really expensive from
[23:53] Japanese. What wooden Japanese men.
[23:56] Its pungent smell Vengeance. Many would I know this?
[24:04] Is it coming over? Yes, absolutely.
[24:11] You have smelled it yourself. I assume he actually assume ever
[24:15] Missouri but you definitely know it. because I've never had a
[24:20] problem with anything in Japanese that they are things,
[24:25] whatever, the part of you by Japanese, it's always this
[24:30] method but you said I've had it Yeah, that was a little bit of
[24:40] glue, but yes. Yes, it is.
[24:42] And it hit me later by the sodium vapor lamp.
[24:45] But okay, so it's a food expensive wasabi wasabi is the
[24:53] answer. It is wasabi, the Wasabi smell a
[24:58] strong Wasabi smell, which is inhaled.
[25:02] After being They are diluted would wake people up.
[25:05] So they came up with the 50,000 yen, was Sabe alarm after drying
[25:11] out? Hundreds of orders.
[25:13] They do the aerial vehicles have been no wasabi wasabi.
[25:18] Can wake somebody up and the if using the right concentration
[25:22] and I never had a really strong reaction to the surface so, I,
[25:27] you know, I don't know, I know you're a food connoisseur but
[25:32] Again, depends on where you have had Wasabi, because most places
[25:35] that serve Wasabi in Japanese, restaurants are not actually
[25:39] serving as a because Wasabi is very expensive.
[25:42] So they are serving you. Something along the lines of
[25:44] horseradish. Uh, mostly yeah.
[25:47] My wife has a really bad reaction to Wasabi.
[25:50] The first time, she had sushi down.
[25:52] She thought it was like, you know, she had to take me big
[25:55] chunk of it and kept it on top of it and just put in our mouth,
[25:58] it had hard palate, went straight to her brain.
[26:00] You shall see her eyes pop like wha well, Clear Proof right
[26:06] there. That she would have woken up
[26:07] promised. Mm, yes.
[26:09] Yes, she would have shoe is available.
[26:11] So, what's a Vietnam? I'd be very interested to know
[26:13] how they're planning so that they disperse it.
[26:15] It's like a sprinkler that they put it out and how to help the I
[26:18] imagine there as allies it, I have no, I don't know the exact
[26:21] mechanics of how they use it, but it is.
[26:26] The active ingredient is a line isothiocyanate.
[26:32] So I believe that's okay. Yeah.
[26:36] And it actually edited in the nose and working and someone is
[26:40] asleep. Okay.
[26:43] Okay. Serendipitously.
[26:46] I have a question of from Japan has been, so I'll move there.
[26:51] So rudimentary version of this product was first invented by
[26:55] Brazilian invented, Andreas aware in the 1970s.
[27:01] Okay, okay. This x is a consumer product
[27:05] which was first marketed under that specific name in Japan and
[27:10] 1979 because marketed under the name sound about in many
[27:15] countries including the US, it was called freestyle in
[27:19] Australia and Sweden and stow away in the UK.
[27:23] The company chairman hated, this particular brand name and asked
[27:26] it to be changed, but he'll ended after being poured by
[27:30] Executives that a promotion. Campaign had already begun using
[27:34] this name and it would be too expensive to change.
[27:38] The promotion campaign was also very unique.
[27:41] The company hired young adults to walk around in public wearing
[27:46] X offering the nearby people to test out the product.
[27:51] They also hire actors to pose with eggs around the streets of
[27:55] Tokyo as an additional form of promotion.
[28:00] What is X? What product am I talking about?
[28:04] Classic brand brand name is the Sony Walkman.
[28:10] You are too good. You gotta to put it is the Sony
[28:13] Walkman. I'll be helping the, the way,
[28:18] the advertiser to kind of give it away.
[28:20] It's a good little cool. Cool.
[28:22] Question of history for our listeners, a photo quality of
[28:27] players of various designs have been available, but none of them
[28:31] were intended to be operated by a person as they were walking.
[28:35] So in the 1970s Brazilian inventor unrest Powell devised a
[28:39] method for carrying a player of this type on a belt around his
[28:42] waist listening via headphones but his stereo build as he
[28:47] called. It did not include the required,
[28:50] engineering environments to get high quality sound reproduction
[28:55] and the tape player is also subject to Mechanical shock.
[28:58] So that again, the three is the quality.
[29:00] So Powell was not able to bring his idea to complete fruition
[29:05] and later on in life, he lost his suit claiming that the
[29:09] Walkman idea was. All right, so Sony finally came
[29:14] up with this idea. Basically, they wanted to create
[29:17] a cassette recorder to listen to music while traveling for
[29:19] business. They had predicted that when it
[29:23] would launch that it would sell about 5,000 units a month.
[29:27] But it's sold 30,000 in the first two months just in Japan,
[29:33] and then they just, you know, went crazy Walkman.
[29:36] Caught on globally and Sony started using the name
[29:40] worldwide. No, Wonderful World very fast
[29:45] track because that's a yes, thank you.
[29:48] Thank you Frank. Let me go with my question now.
[29:54] Yeah, very short question. Action.
[29:57] But perhaps my tables are the ones that tend to be higher.
[30:02] Yeah. Might take a little bit of time
[30:04] to crack it. I believe in you.
[30:07] Okay, before Gmail in was launched, there was already an
[30:14] existing Gmail in the internet of your, if you are old enough
[30:21] to remember internet before Gmail, yes, this is why William
[30:27] No, no, I'm talking. There was a Gmail actual Gmail,
[30:32] it was just not Google Mail, okay.
[30:36] Who did this Gmail belong to and I'll give you some hints because
[30:40] it's a very big question. But if the site of the battle of
[30:43] the answer, no, I don't know. The answer type automatic Gmail.
[30:48] You said fool. So one person.
[30:51] George Clooney, we have an hour so it's not a person.
[30:57] It's a company but it, yes, you can.
[30:59] Well, let's, let's say that for now.
[31:02] Okay. Hmm.
[31:05] Okay, let me see little slogan. Okay, let me think.
[31:07] Yeah, let me give you the slogan, which might help you.
[31:09] So this this original Gmail was touted as email with cattitude,
[31:17] email with cattitude cattitude. Look at dude.
[31:25] Something to do with cats. Or animals Peta?
[31:34] No, no, it's not the SPCA. It is specifically cats.
[31:41] It's it's a special big gap in that happens.
[31:45] It's a Garfield made was so fans of Garfield could actually
[31:56] access access Garfield mail at gmail dot Garfield.com.
[32:02] So that was the original Gmail under the email with cattitude.
[32:06] They did have a little bit of I believe a legal tussle with you
[32:13] will later because when Google try to use the name Gmail
[32:19] because Garfield enthusiasts were very, very particular about
[32:24] their own Gmail. Yeah.
[32:26] And then chain of course as you know, history sided with not the
[32:31] cat. I think maybe the cats are
[32:35] taking Revenge Now by taking over the internet.
[32:41] Yeah, quite possible. Yes, I'm going to go with
[32:48] slightly longer question. So this I'm going to talk about
[32:51] a TV show. Now this is a former TV show
[32:55] that aired on Zee TV for our International resonance ctv's in
[33:02] Indian style. The I'm going to tell you the
[33:05] names of the characters on the show, okay?
[33:09] And first round, I want you to tell me the name of the show.
[33:12] If not, we'll keep giving clues in an ascending forward, okay?
[33:17] So the names of the characters in the show were sanjana Misha
[33:23] Penny Cyrus Vikram. And Rahul, can you guess the
[33:29] show when was it add? This would be 1999 them in
[33:38] version of friends. Yes, it is.
[33:43] The name of the show. Oh, I don't know the tiles.
[33:51] Zoomed it is called insurance. I don't know dosto.
[33:57] No, that's not the best part.
[34:17] Was played by Simone saying, who was the equivalent?
[34:21] Monica get up, but she was a serious level-headed fashion
[34:24] designer, okay? Okay.
[34:27] But not the neck, acted as Nisha, who was the equivalent
[34:30] for Rachel dream? Who was a millionaire?
[34:33] Who escaped from her marriage? Maria?
[34:36] Goretti. If you remember the V-J day is
[34:40] as Penny, she was the equivalent of Phoebe buffay and aspiring
[34:45] musician, Cyrus braccia, as Cyrus, he was the equivalent for
[34:50] Chandler. Bingley was an office executive.
[34:53] Okay Arnold Embry as real people in for Joey, Tribbiani with a
[34:59] struggling model. Now, can you guess who played
[35:03] Ross has character? Weaker Ross is equivalent
[35:07] Vikram, who would you think on a plane crosses character?
[35:12] You know I the reason I also got this very quickly because I
[35:16] think I might have seen the opening scene of this thing and
[35:21] yeah. It's hard to do you copy?
[35:24] Hey, it is exactly. I think the, the virtual
[35:27] character walks in, but she's very sad because Jordan, what
[35:30] noise? And I was sort of the sketch
[35:33] England or to the right to show. So I if I'm not wrong, it is
[35:38] that Vijay nickel. Yes, it is nicotine to the
[35:43] Punjab region, if I remember as being Is really cool, dude, or
[35:53] MTV when I was her age, I Was An Empty, Me is Adam Davila and
[35:56] Jessica's an empty and he was really help.
[35:59] You know, he's supposed to show you if it was fake, he was cool.
[36:03] He was trendy not the person you would put for or Ross character,
[36:09] no do with. Hey yeah.
[36:13] So the show was a kind of it premiered on Zee TV on 6,
[36:18] September, 1999, it was around. Most seem to seen adaptational
[36:23] of the American sitcom Friends, and it ran for one season 26
[36:27] episodes and then must cancel, the five cases, why not big
[36:34] surprise. Already, this is a, let's go to
[36:43] the field of business. So let's do the business related
[36:46] question in 19 or 25 entrepreneurs, founded.
[36:51] This particular company in Minnesota they were trying to
[36:56] mine corundum, which is a crystalline form of aluminum
[37:00] oxide. So they were trying to mine.
[37:03] This particular thing And they want to process it and sell it
[37:08] as sandpaper. It turns out funnily enough that
[37:13] the mineral they might, was not corundum, but it was a useless
[37:16] Rock. Okay.
[37:19] They try to import another mineral but that give them a
[37:22] product of lower quality as well, in 1905.
[37:27] Very soon. After founding the company, they
[37:29] were on the verge of bankruptcy. Okay, couple of businessmen gave
[37:35] them 25,000 dollars in exchange for 60 percent ownership and
[37:40] post that they ended up diversifying a lot and this
[37:44] company survives till today as a pretty iconic company here.
[37:50] Very famous company. I think you already know the
[37:52] answer. Yeah.
[37:54] So minister of mining Corporation down on s3f,
[37:58] wonderful moment, you said with a super and my knee.
[38:02] I was like I know where this is going.
[38:04] I love me. With doesn't even take your
[38:08] those. Are you going to stop me much
[38:10] earlier on? I have made that mistake once
[38:14] with each kid, it's the cardinal rule.
[38:16] I used to despise it. When people interrupt my
[38:19] questions and then when I did it myself, I was horrified so
[38:22] scorn. I will never do this on that
[38:23] podcast again. I would be totally finished and
[38:26] I appreciate that. I appreciate.
[38:28] Let me just give you the complete background.
[38:30] It was called Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, okay,
[38:34] which is whether 3M come. Comes from and it was shortened
[38:37] to 3M, only in 2002 it was probably used.
[38:41] The name was used 3 a I think officiating 3L only in 2002 and
[38:47] initially of course it did not manufacture the gazillion
[38:50] products it does today. But today it is making literally
[38:55] every single thing out there that used on a day-to-day basis.
[38:58] Apply to All Things office supplies, mostly?
[39:00] Yes, you're like yeah, because when I first read that 3M, stood
[39:05] firm in Sort of Mining and whatever.
[39:08] I was so fascinated by the fact that the company name the Mining
[39:12] and Manufacturing company was actually making double sided
[39:15] tape sticky. Nodes are stationary items.
[39:20] I was like, whoa, what is this? Ours is linked at all.
[39:25] It is it is a strange world. We live in.
[39:27] Yes, the company actually today produces over 60,000 products.
[39:33] Started off as just trying to manufacture and process.
[39:37] This one little mineral into sand paper today.
[39:41] This they do 60,000 products. Okay, we have time for a couple
[39:45] questions more. Today is seems to be a much
[39:48] faster episode. So okay, I'm going to give you
[39:50] another question. Slightly history will give it to
[39:53] history. One of my favorite topics,
[39:56] right? Baba Buddha was a 17th century.
[40:00] Sufi revered by both Muslims and Hindus whose Shrine is at Baba.
[40:06] Buddha angry in treatment Guru Karnataka.
[40:11] He is famous for having introduced this item to India by
[40:16] smuggling moved into his in his beard.
[40:20] When coming back from the Hajj in 1670.
[40:24] What did he introduced to India? Oh, Wow, that's unexpected
[40:30] location. I do not see it going there.
[40:32] Okay, there are some clues in the question itself.
[40:34] You could work it out, I would imagine I would imagine.
[40:38] So I'm just going to ask for a little quick.
[40:39] Little recap was the name, the name ways to the Baba Buddha, oh
[40:45] Buddha, oh Buddha. Oh Buddha, and Beauty am Babu
[40:48] the 17th century. Sufi, he went on Hajj in 1670
[40:55] and when he came Actually smuggle something in his dirt
[41:01] and that was the introduction of this item in India.
[41:05] He is revered by both Muslims and Hindus, and he has a shrine
[41:10] at Baba. Bhutan Gary in chick, Mulgrew
[41:14] Karnataka, is it a food item? Yes, but had to smuggle it in
[41:21] interesting day because there is no not a It's not dates that I
[41:28] would advise you to think of where his rhyme is.
[41:33] That would give you a clue. Karnataka took my food Atom Man,
[41:41] not sure am very well. Versed in Canada food.
[41:46] Okay. And I'll tell me give you a clue
[41:48] about where he smuggled it first, so he was on his way back
[41:52] from Hajj, right? So yeah, so I was, that's right.
[41:56] It's a date. I was assuming the Middle East
[41:59] so yes, it's a bit early so he went to maximize the enough for
[42:02] the Hajj and in those days you would travel by boat, right.
[42:06] So then he had to go to a nearby port and the poses for, I don't
[42:10] know if it is the closest foot but he ended up traveling
[42:13] through Yemen and it's from Yemen and that he smuggled.
[42:18] This item in his beard against seeds of some kind like to grow
[42:24] plugs. We talking, Oh yes I would yeah
[42:30] I wouldn't deny that completely. Yeah, but I'm not very good with
[42:36] the particular cuisine in question is is it I can do
[42:44] literally just tell you the name of the port and you'll get the
[42:46] answer from where he went from Yemen.
[42:50] But I'm not specifically given that the because it's so easy.
[42:53] I'll give you another clue, he smuggled seven of these.
[42:57] His beard also see Morgan 11 of these in his beard, from a pot
[43:02] in Yemen. I was going to sell drumstick,
[43:04] but no those days, the yemenis had a kind of Monopoly over this
[43:11] particular food item, and it is always sold in a slightly
[43:15] modified form, which ensure that it could never be grown anywhere
[43:19] else. No, I'm not.
[43:22] Yeah, absolutely no Kim right now.
[43:24] Okay. I'm going to give you the name
[43:25] of the product and that It's okay report that he smuggled is
[43:30] from was called, mocha coffee. Yes, it is coffee.
[43:37] Oh yes. You know what?
[43:41] Okay, so he, as I mentioned with the Sufi, he said to him
[43:47] introduce the coffee plant to India by bringing seven raw
[43:51] beans from the port of mocha Yemen by coming back from Hajj
[43:55] in 1670. In those days, the coffee was
[43:58] exported to other parts of the world in the roasted, or baked
[44:02] form. So they're not one of their own
[44:06] hosted by from the Emmys. Okay, he brought 7 beans because
[44:12] the number 7 is considered sacred in this lab.
[44:14] The coffee plants were then raised at the place that bears
[44:18] his name, which is Buddha angry. Now it evening Mount.
[44:23] So yeah. So on his return home, he
[44:26] planted the beans on the slopes of the Chandra for gonna heal.
[44:30] Chandra drona ends in Tech meguro District, which was first
[44:35] while Kingdom of Mysore, present-day, the state of
[44:38] Karnataka, Up the hill range. Was then the name of the him
[44:41] Grange was in later and change from Chandra, drona heels to
[44:45] Babu than Gary. As in Baba Buddha, a you can
[44:49] still visit his tomb by taking a short trip from chipmunk Legend,
[44:53] has it. This is how coffee was
[44:54] introduced to India. Very cool.
[44:56] Very cool. So it, so the yemeni had a
[45:00] monopoly on coffee. Kind of an odd place within
[45:03] those days. There were two Port Services,
[45:05] just Ethiopia and Yemen, where you could buy a I'll see
[45:09] everybody bought coffee from them interested.
[45:14] Very interesting. Okay, cool.
[45:16] I had no idea and mocha is named after the port, okay?
[45:20] Yes, mocha is named after a port, and if you've heard of the
[45:25] East India Company there, so there was actually a much more
[45:32] profitable at least visually profitable company, which was
[45:36] set up by the British before these India company called the
[45:40] Levant Trading Company. And I will, they're the ones who
[45:44] you know, brought coffee to England by reading in the Middle
[45:50] East. So the Levant Trading Company
[45:51] was set up to, you know, trade in the Middle East.
[45:54] Okay? This particular item has a
[45:58] number associated with it, so it's a food item which has a
[46:01] number associated with it, okay? The number was initially based
[46:07] on the number of ingredients. Do that is that has never quite
[46:12] been verified, it has also served it design purpose,
[46:16] eventually what item and what number am I do, what, food item
[46:21] and what number have I talked with say, the moment you said
[46:23] food item and number, my mind went is chicken 65, okay?
[46:30] So then let me clarify, it's not actually food item, as much as
[46:33] it's a brand name. So, food brand name is
[46:36] associated with a number. Yeah.
[46:39] The brand name is associated with the number.
[46:42] Yeah, like the dumbest example, I can think of is like five star
[46:46] is associated with five. So something else.
[46:48] Okay. Yes.
[46:50] Is that number still associated with the prior now.
[46:53] Oh, yes it is. And that number eventually
[46:55] played a role in the design. Okay.
[46:58] Are you sounds like something or from the next field?
[47:00] Is it? Something like 7-Eleven?
[47:03] No, no, it is a food item. It is a specific food item and
[47:07] brand food brand rival. This is a number still
[47:11] associated with the LK. Wait, Baskin-Robbins 56 flavors
[47:16] that basketball is actually her wonderful.
[47:20] Guess is actually 31 Flavors. Everyone goes.
[47:22] Okay. And its features in their logo
[47:25] and 31 Flavors came from. You can have a new flavor each
[47:29] day of the month. That's right.
[47:31] Baskin-Robbins I was very original slogan, but guess what?
[47:37] No, no, no, it's not. It's not.
[47:42] It's brilliant because Teddy one also features in the design of
[47:44] their logo. But the number in question that
[47:47] I'm asking features in the design of the product itself.
[47:51] Yes, it's Preston. Something design of a oh, no,
[47:55] no, no, I need a few, any W, this is to okay.
[47:59] So it's a, it's a 2d two-digit number Okay, the particular,
[48:05] the, the guy who came up with this product and it's named
[48:09] after him, he chose the first digit based off of his favorite
[48:14] number, and the second digit base of this wife's favorite
[48:17] number, the second digit also is considered, auspicious lucky.
[48:24] It is pretty significant across cultures.
[48:28] There will be a 7, that's a love.
[48:32] You will connect that. Real previous question.
[48:34] Linda seven years, okay. Second little bit.
[48:36] Yeah, second digital session k17, 27:37 stopping.
[48:43] When I get to know if only life was that easy for that easy?
[48:52] Hello. You're on the right path is just
[48:53] that. Yeah, I just can't think of
[48:58] anything that comes with the food item.
[49:04] Is this a file full diaper? I can give you a hint as to what
[49:08] kind of item it is. It'll get you very close.
[49:10] So let me just give you that. It is a condiment, so condiment
[49:16] condiment with ketchup. Yeah, very good.
[49:19] Pretty close the role of they're basically there will be Heinz
[49:22] Ketchup, but I can't remember where the number on Hines.
[49:24] Wait, wait the process part where you have to tap the bottle
[49:28] to get the Heinz, Ketchup to come out of prison number but I
[49:31] don't remember the number It said it's 57.
[49:35] If okay, the marketing slogan was 57 tickle varieties, but
[49:40] this was this was more retroactively than originally
[49:44] planned and he chose it basically because five was his
[49:48] lucky. Number seven was his wife's.
[49:50] A lucky number 7 is also suspicious and he saw some of
[49:53] the marketing campaign which inspired him and 57 is written
[49:58] or debris. Hides bottle bottle.
[50:00] Yeah. Like on it, hides bottle.
[50:03] And urban legends suggest that if you tap on it.
[50:06] Yes. Because I was famous for its
[50:08] viscosity there. Also, it will be tough to come
[50:11] out. So if you tap on 57 is the right
[50:14] spot to get it out. It is never made, has not been
[50:19] verified but it is it is supposedly one of the reasons
[50:26] people telling that you know you have to tap it there.
[50:29] Then you will get, it was nothing.
[50:30] The only thing. The only place you could tap
[50:32] into the back of the Look slimmer design and consumers
[50:35] want a smart dolled up. You will get two small drops you
[50:38] back into the back of the bottle and then half the bottle comes
[50:41] out. Is it it is pretty great so I
[50:45] don't mind eating half bottle one sitting here is too much for
[50:49] me. Yeah I'm not a big catch up fan
[50:51] sacrilege to say on air but I'm not against Japan.
[50:56] Already have. No that's my question for the
[50:58] day that I believe is the last question as well.
[51:01] Yes. So before we You know, try to
[51:04] wind up, other tear, you know what to do?
[51:07] It's not for over Sabe smell in the alarm.
[51:15] If these scientists had been Indian, what order would they
[51:20] have relied upon the fire? Alarm for deaf people.
[51:29] Deaf, that's my question. Oh my God.
[51:32] I cannot Disappeared that the I don't know what the answer will
[51:34] be, again, disobey dancing with terrible, and I'm going to be
[51:39] able to get rid of that, basically, right now contested
[51:43] at it is playing with himself, as to see how low can I go, how
[51:48] much can I embarrass myself in front of literally everybody
[51:52] listening to this podcast is it's it's fine, it's fine, it's
