## 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 as needed to help each other get to Ooh,
[0:30] the answer. Let's get quizzing.
[0:35] So, before we start with the first question, we have as
[0:39] usual, a DTS Cliffhanger from the previous episode, tell us
[0:42] that they are. What is the theme song of the
[0:46] d-sub police? So there is a police as you
[0:49] discovered in the previous episode and for those who have
[0:51] not heard it stopped right now, go listen to that episode and
[0:53] then come back. Okay, there was enough of a
[0:55] spoiler warning. If those of you have not heard
[0:58] it, you wouldn't know. But those of you heard, it would
[1:00] know that what is a police Helen pigeon, carrier service that
[1:03] they used many. Many decades.
[1:06] So, their official theme song would be a very famous song by
[1:09] Lata mangeshkar from the movie Man.
[1:11] A Kia car, boot that Cha-cha-cha.
[1:18] I have a question for you. How many people do you think we
[1:21] lose / bad joke? Every episode?
[1:23] How many listeners is drop-off at this point?
[1:26] It's like I think it might be somewhere around 30% 30%, so we
[1:30] would be a much more successful podcast if I just stop myself.
[1:35] From Google's every no but no but I do enjoy, you know, jokes
[1:40] do have their place in the world and many years from now.
[1:44] I feel that people might also look back and be like that was
[1:46] what set us apart. But review assign it was to put
[1:50] chokes which were great. Yes.
[1:52] Yes, we can still dream that way.
[1:54] She'll okay. Okay, okay, you're starting us
[1:57] off. Yes, yes.
[1:58] Oh yes, it's my turn today. So I have a question which I
[2:03] discovered quite recently as January 20 23 which is you know,
[2:10] just a month, the last previous month. 30 heads of state have
[2:14] won Nobel prizes. Let me repeat 30.
[2:17] Heads of state have won Nobel prizes.
[2:20] Okay, 17 while in office 13 before or after serving an
[2:25] office, okay? 29 out of these 30 were Nobel
[2:30] Peace prizes, who is the only head of state?
[2:35] To have won a Nobel Prize for something other than promoting
[2:39] peace. Hmm, heads of state can Hazard a
[2:46] guess is it by any chance? Apj Abdul Kalam know.
[2:51] He hasn't won a Nobel Prize. Yeah, I was wondering maybe for
[2:54] like some scientific at, you know, it's it's quite
[3:00] interesting that, you know, out of 30, only one person has
[3:05] Wanted for something other than peace and frankly, I don't think
[3:09] he would have ever one for, you know, promoting peace.
[3:13] Interesting. Wouldn't have done it for
[3:15] promoting peace. Okay.
[3:18] I'm going to ask for a hint. Is it Nobel Prize in The
[3:21] Sciences or literature its literature?
[3:25] And I will go so far as to say that he also won it while in
[3:29] office boy, who were actual Behavior by space forms that
[3:34] popular. He's a very good point.
[3:38] Let's say I have a collection of his poems and yeah, he's a very
[3:42] good point but he's never won the Nobel Prize.
[3:45] Not, they're not in those big leagues.
[3:48] Okay, give me maybe a continent which country which one parent
[3:54] is geographically. It's in Europe.
[3:57] Laughs weakly it's in your choice, should be easy.
[4:05] I will give you the year. It is 1953 90/50. 9050, that's
[4:19] Stalin right? We talk about Chef you thinking
[4:23] Russia. Oh, I was just okay.
[4:25] Put together a bunch of things that you said you said.
[4:27] I had this guy would probably never get a piece by.
[4:30] So I was thinking of somebody on the more despotic side and no,
[4:34] no she wasn't a despot, he wasn't a despot.
[4:37] But let's just say, he was also known for, you know, some of his
[4:41] more rigid Tendencies when it comes to policies, it was Not
[4:47] easily malleable person. Winston Churchill bag on it was
[4:52] Winston Churchill, Winston, Churchill.
[4:54] Got a Nobel Prize in literature. Yes.
[4:57] In 1953 when he was elected for the second time, post-world War
[5:00] Two. He did get a Nobel Prize for
[5:03] literature. Hmm.
[5:04] What has he written? I think I'd written a couple of
[5:07] books on the history of the world and what not.
[5:10] And and you know for the fact that he was for all his faults
[5:14] he was a great orator. Hmm.
[5:16] Of course. Same.
[5:18] As I mentioned, he wasn't particularly the most.
[5:23] Let's say flexible person, and he wasn't shy of using force, of
[5:31] course, here and not a particularly nice person.
[5:34] When it, when you look at the colonial kind of attitude that
[5:37] he had, if you remember, Shashi tharoor's famous speech at the
[5:42] Oxford Union. It specifically coated Churchill
[5:45] writing. Note an annotation in the sides
[5:49] of one of the memos, when there's a famine going on in
[5:51] India. Why doesn't Gandhi died?
[5:55] That's more statement to make? Oh yeah, there's another when he
[6:01] was a Home Secretary. This is in the early 1910s and
[6:05] 1920s, I believe he wrote something similar about Princess
[6:10] Sofia. Princess Sofia, dalip Singh.
[6:13] Again. She's a, by the way, if you've
[6:14] now if you've not heard of princess, If I'd leave sing,
[6:17] it's a travesty that most people in India, have never heard of
[6:20] her or people around the world have never heard of her.
[6:23] She was a fascinating person. Her father was an even more
[6:28] fascinating person. Her grandfather was has Legend
[6:31] in Punjab, the share, a Punjab, immense have himself.
[6:35] So sir, princess Sapphire, dalip, Singh was also
[6:38] suffragette and after a particular protest where the
[6:41] police crack down pretty hard. She kept writing letters after
[6:44] letters after letters to And the identity and to get one
[6:48] particular policeman, you know, punished for his actions.
[6:51] And apparently if I remember this correctly, Winston Spencer.
[6:55] Churchill was the Home Secretary of the time and he wrote a note
[6:57] peevishly saying that stop answering her letters.
[7:01] Hmm. He was the man for the moment
[7:04] when Britain needed him. Yeah, I don't think all britons
[7:10] would look down upon them. I think there are quite a no,
[7:12] no. I mean, like he is that he is a
[7:14] noble revered figure over there but here As with all revered
[7:17] figures, they have both. They have many sized as human
[7:21] beings are flawed. Interesting.
[7:22] That's fascinating. I had no idea when sintered
[7:25] yeah, 29 out of 30. People. 14.
[7:27] Nobel, Peace prizes. Did he get one for a litigator?
[7:30] Peace Prize? No.
[7:30] No it's not heated talking about, he got only one and that
[7:33] was the literature have any of them gotten more than one know I
[7:38] have believed none of the heads of state have got more than one.
[7:41] It's okay many people in The Sciences have yeah I know there
[7:46] are few Linus Pauling. Richard Feynman if I'm not
[7:48] mistaken, right? Marie Curie recently.
[7:51] Got it. No, Richard Feynman been
[7:55] deceased for some time now. If I'm not mistaken, we do not
[7:58] give it a posthumous key and I'll know that was the excuse
[8:02] that they did that. They forgave for not giving
[8:05] Mahatma Gandhi around the yeah Nobel Peace Prize that they
[8:10] don't give it much is missing and I'm confusing him if I'm if
[8:15] I'm not mistaken I may be mistaken.
[8:16] Taken on this Aditya fact. Check this, please.
[8:19] I know Linus Pauling did get to Marie Curie, definitely dead.
[8:23] And there are a couple of others also who had to but just confirm
[8:27] about fine but I shall do that. Okay, you're doing great trivia.
[8:31] Okay. I shall start with an origin
[8:34] story. So this particular gentleman He
[8:38] started a company in 1909 he was before that a Salesman for his
[8:43] father's soap business. Hmm, he gave free umbrellas to
[8:48] whoever bought his soul, but the umbrellas faded in the rain.
[8:52] So he instead switch to giving baking powder.
[8:55] So it was so business and as a freebie, he was handing out
[8:58] umbrellas, umbrellas faded easily in the rain.
[9:00] So he switched to giving baking powder, the baking powder, prove
[9:04] to you actually more popular than the soap.
[9:07] So he He's pivoted to selling baking powder.
[9:11] Now, he continued to give a freebies.
[9:13] So now along with the baking powder, he gave the object that
[9:17] this company is now known for, right?
[9:19] Let's call this object an X so this x became more popular than
[9:22] the baking powder. So he once again, pivoted.
[9:25] And finally X was what he said. It selling until date.
[9:29] This company is known for selling X and the company's name
[9:32] is also, it's known as X. So what was it?
[9:35] What was the product that he was originally selling kiwi?
[9:38] Lynx-o because his father's so business.
[9:40] He started giving umbrellas, The Umbrellas were feeding, same of
[9:44] the baking powder. Baking powder is more popular
[9:45] than the soap. So he said, setting baking
[9:47] powder, baking powder Cassatt. He wanted to give you a freebie
[9:50] and that freebie turned out to be X which was more popular in
[9:52] the baking powder. So X became the final product
[9:55] that we today know this company for this can't be Nestle, right?
[9:59] This is not Nestle now. This numbness, is it a food item
[10:03] by any chance you are bang on. It is a food item.
[10:06] Yeah, so food item. It's not Alka-Seltzer or
[10:09] something like it's not like a digestif.
[10:11] No no sir. I think you're thinking because
[10:15] the baking powder. So perhaps, that's the way I was
[10:18] thinking of, you know baking what could baking powder we use
[10:20] for then cakes, unfortunately. It's not linked to those objects
[10:24] is just an interesting story that he pivoted.
[10:26] So it's completely random because my next guest was either
[10:30] going to be, you know, what is it?
[10:32] Uncle sorry. Aunt, Betty's Betty Crocker.
[10:36] Yeah, Betty Crocker know that that was, that was going to be
[10:39] my next guest or weak field today several those you know, a
[10:42] lot of products like this Okay. But yeah, it's completely random
[10:46] and thinking completed. It is an mm-hmm.
[10:49] Okay, I need a clue. It would be, it is currently
[10:52] owned by Mars. Mars, it's featuring by Mars.
[10:58] The company is known for this particular product, and it's
[11:02] also named after this product, I'm guessing it's some sort of
[11:06] chocolate or Candy by now. Yeah, it's in that large
[11:10] umbrella. That is a very large umbrella
[11:12] yet. Is it is, it is, it's not salt.
[11:14] Water taffy, or something like that, right?
[11:16] It has to be some kind of chocolate.
[11:17] Yeah, I have no clue. What companies or Brands Mars
[11:21] owns. That's making this more
[11:23] difficult. Yeah.
[11:25] It's a big conglomerates. It has multiple things under it
[11:28] are no car. You'll have to give me either a
[11:31] clover. Give a puppy a 23-0.
[11:33] No, I'll give you one more clue. I think you should be able to
[11:35] get after this. I'll tell you the the brands
[11:38] under this larger larger name, some of them, they should be a
[11:42] pretty easy Clouseau. Let's go with one of those
[11:45] so-called big red. One of them is called five extra
[11:49] Eclipse, trying to give you the ones, which are probably not as
[11:53] commonly known KitKat. No, no, no winter, fresh winter,
[11:59] fresh double major league he's doing up.
[12:02] Wrigley's chewing gum is the To be fair to be fair, the clues
[12:08] were not helping you to get there very quickly.
[12:11] So I this was a, this is a convoluted question.
[12:13] I just love the trivia because this man kept pivoting.
[12:16] I love that. So he made the joined himself,
[12:21] he realized that. So initially, when the baking
[12:23] powder and the chewing gum freebie, that was not the
[12:25] released ringer. He was just setting baking
[12:28] powder, and he saw the market for chewing gum because it
[12:30] became very popular. And then he shows the chewing
[12:33] gum finally started selling it under.
[12:35] His own name and his name was. I'm guessing us like a mother.
[12:38] Yes. William Wrigley Junior.
[12:41] Ww Dunya. Okay, I will remember that and I
[12:50] have a question for you, hit me. This is a non-exhaustive list.
[12:54] I'm going to give you four names.
[12:57] You have to tell me what the Kinect is, okay.
[13:00] Okay. The pronunciation may not be
[13:03] exactly what it's supposed to be because they're in different
[13:06] languages, but I'm going to try my best Costello brujo Called

[13:15] Do we need? That is are you getting the?
[13:19] Are you gay? Are you writing today?
[13:20] Revenge for the last question that I was a total of the
[13:23] industry. You are definitely going to love
[13:27] the answer. I'm okay.
[13:30] Hit me again with those four names.
[13:31] Castelo brujo. Okay, it's prom now.
[13:34] It's written. BR U x,0.

[14:04] country of these people irrelevant.
[14:06] These are not people. Oh oh why did I think okay?
[14:09] All right, interesting. Talk to it.
[14:12] So, what are these names for it? Okay, I'm going to give you a
[14:16] clue. These are all names of
[14:18] Institutions. Oh, you have to tell me what
[14:22] specific type of Institutions and where would I find find
[14:25] them? So, that's the connect.
[14:26] These are institutions and what. Okay.
[14:30] And where would you find them? Hmm.
[14:32] Are they all in the same place? Are they all in different
[14:36] places? Okay.
[14:38] I'm very lost. Could I have a look?
[14:41] Okay, I'll give you one more clue.
[14:43] I will give you the language of origins of these names castelo
[14:46] Branco, or it's I'm not giving the language and give you the
[14:48] country. It make it easier.

[15:02] Wow, my God, I am completely. I'll give you one more clue.
[15:08] Okay, fiction. Japan.
[15:12] Uganda are these real places? Where each other are these
[15:16] places also fictional? The places are also fiction,
[15:20] okay. As in these institutions are
[15:22] fictional, these institutions are fortunate Tintin is Tintin,
[15:29] the connect by any chance art internet, started clothes.
[15:33] That's it something much much more popular than tented more
[15:36] popular than tinted. Oh yeah, you'd be very
[15:40] hard-pressed to find And something more popular than
[15:44] this. What?
[15:46] Ooh, okay. Something more popular than this
[15:50] but on the movie. No, I don't lie, earning a lot
[15:53] of money. No nothing to do with.
[15:59] Okay. The only fictional thing I can
[16:02] think of mobile presented in Sherlock Holmes is it does not
[16:06] appreciate. You could argue that in some
[16:08] ways at least for some people, this is more popular.
[16:11] Okay then give me a clue as to what fictional documentary
[16:14] talking literature film music, that's a literature and film and
[16:20] even some music. It's not important at all you
[16:26] could think, okay, think straightforward literature and
[16:29] film, but even music because it's pretty iconic music is
[16:33] Iconic. I was just going to say
[16:35] Shakespeare but then did I doubt I ever wrote about Japan.
[16:41] Oh boy, Oi? No, no, wait alert.
[16:43] Help me out of here, nothing. Okay, I literally am.
[16:46] Going to make you tell me the answer on this.
[16:48] Okay, okay, okay, love that. I will give you one more name.
[16:53] Hmm, from this list. As I mentioned, this is non
[16:56] exhaustive disability can be for right?
[16:59] I will give you one more name from this.
[17:02] Okay. It'll be our money right?
[17:03] As it sounds so familiar. Yeah I gave you the more obscure
[17:06] one from that but still no but it sounds really familiar.
[17:10] Oh no. No, but I'm still on.
[17:13] Why do you sound familiar have? Yeah.
[17:15] Give me another one more. You're going to get it from this
[17:17] one. I'm fairly sure.
[17:19] Okay, go back to pull baton or up?
[17:23] Come on. I knew this.
[17:24] I knew this. That's it.
[17:26] Sounds familiar. It's the schools are Uganda
[17:29] school? I knew this.
[17:30] Oh God. These are the Harry Potter
[17:32] schools where you can use any good in schools of Harry Potter.
[17:41] Because I remember, I think one of my questions at some point
[17:45] because I have that linked to the name of that for the sake of
[17:53] the audience. According to JK Rowling, there
[17:57] are a total of eleven visiting schools, but we have been made
[18:01] privy to the names of only eight so far.
[18:04] Okay, Castle Bravo, which is in Brazil, called of storage, which
[18:08] is in Russia, another piece of trivia called of storage.
[18:11] People's played quidditch on entire trees instead of room.
[18:14] Six ha ha. Ha!
[18:17] Yes! Mukuro is in Japan who go to is
[18:22] in Uganda where students practiced magic without needing
[18:25] wants. So it was 1/2 together, mobile
[18:29] phone is in France, durmstrang in Scandinavia cry, be exact
[18:34] location, is unknown, silver money is the school in the u.s.
[18:38] featured. I think in the movie.
[18:41] Movies and testing these yes, fantastic be series and finally
[18:46] Hogwarts in England, actually more correctly.
[18:49] I believe it's somewhere. In Scotland if I'm not mistaken.
[18:51] This Court's now Scout, another piece of trivia, the school.
[18:54] With the smallest number of students was more tokoro in
[18:57] Japan. And can you guess the school
[19:00] with the most number of students who will say Brazilian no Uganda
[19:06] to I do yes because you know, caters for the entire of f
[19:10] entire End of African continent of Africa into so fascinating.
[19:16] Great great. It is it's one of those things
[19:19] that the back of her head, you know?
[19:21] And then and I was fairly sure you knew this but you know, I
[19:25] wanted you to get to it because if you had not asked me this
[19:28] question, one of our episodes it would have hundred percent been
[19:30] asked by me so because I know it's there on My Trivia bank
[19:34] somewhere. Yeah.
[19:35] That you forget these names and nothing to see.
[19:38] I think when you read them was, when you hear it, it sounds And
[19:41] if like I probably, if I read it in front of me that would have
[19:44] clicked a faster. Yeah, if I that might have
[19:47] killed, the click faster because I was trying to go for the more
[19:50] authentic pronunciation, right? I think you did a fantastic job.
[19:56] I think you did a fantastic job. Yes,
[20:08] Saint Blaise was be l.a., is it? In my head, I had been thinking
[20:13] st. Blaise BL is ready, which is
[20:16] Johnny Blaze job, which significantly reduce the cool
[20:20] factor for that name because a man has overseen.
[20:23] Blaze legs on fire and little Blaze like really is oh yeah.
[20:28] Okay. Wait for those of you have not
[20:30] had that episode, please go listen to it.
[20:32] Great answer. Okay, so my question, now, this
[20:36] particular singer very famous. Singer has an album Which faced
[20:42] difficulties when it was released in China because of its
[20:46] merchandise design. The way it was, designed the
[20:49] merchandise with design, it faced difficulty in China.
[20:54] In fact, when the singer wanted to go on tour over there with
[20:57] this particular album, it was predicted that they might have
[21:03] difficulties in that as well. Very, very question asked me for
[21:06] hints if you need them for, I'll definitely need them but I'm
[21:10] going to put out a very Shot in the dark here.
[21:12] Gopal. Is it Taylor Swift?
[21:15] You, my man are genius. It is a Taylor Swift, but can
[21:19] you tell me the name of the album?
[21:20] I think she has an Album 88 or something, right?
[21:24] I love that. 1989 1989. Yeah, I came to the right answer
[21:29] through the wrong road, to Taylor Swift fan.
[21:33] I am no idea about her albums, but had this vague idea that she
[21:36] had an album called 88 or 89 and 88.
[21:39] If I'm not mistaken, is unlucky. In China, it is unlucky or
[21:43] something? Okay, no it is actually not a
[21:46] Letty. It is considered a very lucky
[21:48] number. Okay, what happens here is in a
[21:51] long time. I'm impressed regardless.
[21:55] Okay, Taylor Swift 1989, a lot of merchandise was, TS 1989.
[22:03] Oh yeah, I've been Square happened in 1989 in China and
[22:08] that is obviously something that the Chinese authorities.
[22:11] These don't want commemorated and remembered significantly.
[22:18] So even though you arrived in a in a very roundabout convoluted
[22:21] way, the reason is is brilliant because she was just born in
[22:25] 1989 and that's the reason for the name of the album and Taylor
[22:28] Swift is an empty as being the initials.
[22:31] It just so happens. It coincides with A1 and A2 e.
[22:35] Infamous massacre in the year. 1989, that is a brilliant
[22:39] question and I cannot take credit.
[22:41] Wait for the answer in any way, shape, or form.
[22:43] Because I got to it completely wrong.
[22:46] I also like that you thought 88 was an unlucky number where it
[22:49] is considerable. The lucky numbers, I got it, I
[22:53] got it the other way round to because it's a little explicit
[22:57] and I don't want to put it on the podcast.
[22:59] I am going to tell our audience to Google.
[23:02] Why Bryan Adams Summer of 98, Summer of 69 is actually called
[23:06] Summer of 69. Hmm.
[23:09] It's not because of 1969. That's enough of a giveaway.
[23:14] Yeah. But those who want to can Google
[23:17] further all right. I love the Trivium just because
[23:20] it is such a very random coincidence and it is a random
[23:24] points in such a way, the world works.
[23:26] Yeah, please hit me with your question me.
[23:28] Okay, so this is about a movie let me just make that clear.
[23:31] Before we start the question, one of the moments that inspired
[23:34] the creation of this movie story, came to the writer after
[23:38] reading the novel Interview with the Vampire.
[23:41] And rice is normal, which got him thinking about what it would
[23:44] be like to live forever. The director of the movie has
[23:46] stated quite categorically that. The inspiration for this movie
[23:51] was not the novel, The Strange Life of Ivan or skip, but many
[23:55] others do think it was this movie was ranked number 8 on the
[24:01] American Film institute's list of the 10 greatest films in the
[24:05] fantasy. Genre in June 20 2008 and also
[24:09] came in at number 4, In the BBC culture, 100 best comedies of
[24:14] all time list. Which movie it is inspired by
[24:18] Interview with the Vampire which led this directed to think about
[24:22] immediate, right of the writer, think about immortality.
[24:26] It is. In fact is quite short story
[24:29] called The Strange Life of Ivan oschin, okay?
[24:33] Okay. Sorry.
[24:34] Restrained driver Ivanov socket from 1900 1905 and the director
[24:39] has categorically denied that it's not but many people do
[24:42] think about think that it is related to it.
[24:45] It Has listed number eight in the fantasy.
[24:47] Genre on afi's 100 best list in 2008 and when the BBC called BBC
[24:53] culture, 100 best comedies list was released.
[24:56] This was number four hundred best comedies, so that should
[25:00] tell you what genre is these good?
[25:01] The movie belongs to Fantasy comment but if I list movies not
[25:07] specifically, from the year, right?
[25:08] So what year is moved from this movie is from 1993, released in
[25:13] 1993 interview, Vampire is what you said.
[25:16] Is the inspiration for the writer novel.
[25:20] Not the movie, the movie was released a filled Circle
[25:23] interview device starring, Brad Pitt, and Tom Cruise.
[25:27] Yeah, exactly. That's what I thought.
[25:29] There was any constant interest and cost anelka interested
[25:32] interested. Yeah.
[25:35] Okay. Okay.
[25:41] Okay. I want to give and as we do have
[25:44] listeners in from the u.s. for them, this clue might be a bit
[25:48] of a giveaway. So this particular episode that
[25:50] we are recording right now will be going out on February 2nd in
[25:56] India, which is that, that particular date has all the
[26:01] significance. You need Febreeze getting 10,
[26:05] 1993, did you say yes? Groundhog Day.
[26:09] Yes, it is Groundhog Day. So interesting, interesting.
[26:14] Okay, Was this, you know, there was a novel Who The Strange Life
[26:19] of Ivan or so Kim. And I'm not 19 not sides, right?
[26:23] Okay. So this novel basically has in
[26:26] the book also can is given the opportunity to live his life
[26:30] Over Again by a magician here. Okay, the Asahi also can takes
[26:34] him up on the offer only to make the same mistakes all over
[26:37] again. Okay, eventually he reaches the
[26:39] point in time, where he meets the magician.
[26:41] Again, who explains to soak in that he cannot Change the
[26:45] recurring wheel that is this trap called life and there are
[26:48] soaked in must learn to sacrifice in order to escape it
[26:51] and to find a Salvation in just so a lot of people think that it
[26:55] was the inspiration, but Harold Ramis, the director says,
[26:59] absolutely it was not wonderful movie.
[27:03] I think my favorite Bill Murray project, yes I would rank it
[27:06] higher than Ghostbusters by just a notch.
[27:09] Yes I would I would agree. I would agree because there's
[27:12] more of us than there is in Ghostbusters.
[27:16] And another piece of trivia Harold Ramis had initially
[27:19] considered Tom Hanks for this room.
[27:21] Okay. But decided not to because Tom
[27:23] Hanks was too nice. Boomer is perfectly.
[27:26] Kyle said he is. He is, he is so happy.
[27:30] Do you remember which town the story takes place?
[27:37] And the number of times he repeated in the movie, I should
[27:39] remember. It Punxsutawney Phil.
[27:42] Yes, that's how it is. That was the name of the ground
[27:46] up. Yeah, that's the name of the
[27:48] groundhog and it's held at Punxsutawney in Western
[27:51] Pennsylvania, it's real function.
[27:53] Okay, so it all derived, from the Pennsylvania, Dutch
[27:56] Superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on
[28:00] February 2nd, if it sees its shadow do to clear, whether it
[28:04] will Retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more
[28:07] weeks. If it does not see its shadow
[28:09] because of cloudiness, then spring will arrive early, right?
[28:13] Wonderful movie. I love the genre of, who is, by
[28:15] the way, the We'll just repeating the day again and
[28:17] again because it is so that is a movie called.
[28:20] Happy deathday happy. Deathday is the slasher genre.
[28:24] Yes. / inclusion of a Time Loop Edge of Tomorrow, is science
[28:28] fiction. Yes.
[28:30] All three kinds of Science Fiction Edge of Tomorrow.
[28:33] I did not like the ending. When is it not have to go for a
[28:37] happy ending? OK spoiler to everybody who
[28:40] seeing it. Chomp cool survives.
[28:42] But yeah I mean like if he had died doing Get that I felt would
[28:46] have been a much more powerful ending there is, then there is
[28:49] Palm Springs, which is adding the one with Andy Samberg and I
[28:56] think about a wedding and they keep repeating the yes.
[29:02] Yes, yes. That was also good one.
[29:03] That was the romantic comedy genre.
[29:15] Very well done because it has an interesting interesting.
[29:19] Twist on the I'm Loop thick okay, because whenever you have
[29:24] a time loop again, this is foil as I would, okay?
[29:27] I'm not going to spoil this because it is genuinely a good
[29:29] movie. Please go watch it and it has an
[29:33] interesting Twist on the, you know, time Loop version,
[29:35] especially the second part which I found very well done.
[29:39] Another one in the same exact order is Russian doll.
[29:42] Yes Netflix, it is perfect. It is, I enjoyed season, one
[29:47] immensely made, the speaker is a great great season.
[29:50] Once it was not too bad but he's in Rome was just phenomenal.
[29:53] I mean, like in season one was at such a level.
[29:55] It's very difficult to get, you know, live up an analog the lead
[29:59] from that the same actor who's in.
[30:01] Orange, is the New Black as well.
[30:03] She's normal, she's analogy. Yes.
[30:05] Check out all these movies and TV shows.
[30:07] They're fantastic. And let's move on to our next
[30:10] question. Since we both love etymology.
[30:12] Or my next question was also going to be an entomology Okay.
[30:16] So let me do that. This band was named when one of
[30:20] its members used to work at Starbucks and had a catchphrase
[30:26] that he would say very frequently to his customers.
[30:30] What band is this so many bands suckling in my head but it's a
[30:34] catch phrase that he used to say to customers.
[30:37] Hmm while working at Starbucks, alt rock band, The Rock I would
[30:42] say wrong. Probably pop rock or not.
[30:45] When when would they have been popular?
[30:47] Are they still popular stuff up? So yeah, they probably asked.
[30:51] Yeah. And you formed in 1995 95.
[30:56] Hmm. Let me tell you the names of the
[30:57] band members, the person who is to work at Starbucks was Mike
[31:03] and this bad loss from by Mike and his brother Chad this is
[31:07] Nickelback. Wow, you really know a banza, it
[31:10] is Nickelback. Yes.
[31:12] So yeah. Nickelback I used to be Guys to
[31:15] listen to their albums. Quite there is this I know there
[31:18] is online hate campaign against their District.
[31:21] Yeah, it is. It'll do genuinely enjoy their
[31:24] music. It's not groundbreaking, it's
[31:27] not something that I might remember 40 years from now, but
[31:31] nothing. Nothing wrong with some easier
[31:32] treatment. Yeah.
[31:34] Chad Kroeger is voice on hero from the Spider-Man.
[31:37] Soundtrack was genuinely great. I also like that, so, yeah, just
[31:42] just for our listeners. Mike Kroeger used to work at
[31:47] Starbucks and he would frequently say to his customers
[31:51] while handing them. The change that here's your
[31:53] nickel that and I just thought that was a very fun name.
[31:58] So they sent me in the band after that, we'll catch his
[32:01] Nickelback Nickelback, right? All right.
[32:04] You had an etymology question for me.
[32:05] Yes. I'm going to give you a couple
[32:07] of names, your graphical names and I want you to give me the
[32:12] connect bonus points are bragging.
[32:15] It's obviously because we don't have prices if you can give me
[32:19] the official terminology for this, okay.
[32:22] But if you just explain the Funda that will be fine.
[32:25] Okay, so connect La Brea Tar, Pits Lake Tahoe East Timor.
[32:30] The Mississippi River Dal Lake, jog Falls, the Rock of Gibraltar
[32:36] Sahara desert, not an exhaustive list value.
[32:39] Oh, I know it is, that's why he kept Sahara Desert.
[32:43] Last Chai tea latte and naan bread.
[32:52] And I can basically these words mean the same thing that the
[32:58] other common down in their particular language, you do know
[33:01] the terminology so that the arrow through scientific and say
[33:04] linguistic terminology. It was Nothin.
[33:08] Okay tautological needs highest guess ever, that's what it is.
[33:14] Is totally logical. If to differently sounding parts
[33:17] of it as synonymous, this aachen, often occurs when a name
[33:21] from one language is imported into another.
[33:23] And a standard descriptor is added on from the second
[33:26] language. So now Brea Tar, Pits is
[33:29] literally the car. Got our pets Lake Tahoe is Lake
[33:32] Lake Tahoe is Lake in. Washoe East Timor is east east
[33:37] because team or means East, the Mississippi River is Big River
[33:42] river because necessity means Big River in Algonquin Dal Lake
[33:46] means lake lake in balti which is a Tibetan language.
[33:50] Jog Falls. Joe Gorga means waterfall in the
[33:53] local kernel language. The Rock of Gibraltar is which
[33:57] literally means the rock of the rock of kharak.
[34:00] You proud to be from the Arabic digital Parikh, which means Rock
[34:04] of Tariq and Sahara Desert. Because in Arabic Sahara, it
[34:09] means deserts the plural is Sahara, singular, terminology,
[34:13] Sarah, and Sahara is the desert. So tautological place names.
[34:17] So does tautological also apply to things like chai tea and your
[34:21] naan Breads and yes, yes, anything where you have two
[34:25] words, which literally means the same thing.
[34:29] I actually got it and Rock of Gibraltar and when he said
[34:33] Saturday, that that's when it was like, okay, that's going to
[34:34] take those out. Probably kind of yeah.
[34:39] Before there are thinking what could possibly is tomorrow and
[34:42] then legs and yeah. Anyways but great question I lat
[34:45] There's an entire Wikipedia page with I think on top hundred or
[34:48] two hundred names but most of mostly a places we've never
[34:52] heard of. So by never heard of, I want to
[34:55] clarify that. I've never heard of.
[34:57] It doesn't mean that that particular place does not have
[34:59] its own significance is. Let's please don't not not to
[35:02] hurt the sentiments of any of our listeners were the exact
[35:05] residents of these days. The live news places.
[35:08] Question from you about, okay? I believe this will be our last
[35:12] question. Which character has these middle
[35:18] names in different languages in French.
[35:22] It's Elvis in Finish. Its Loman.
[35:25] Interestingly in Icelandic, there's no middle name, but the
[35:28] first name is Trevor in. Swedish, it's Gus.
[35:33] What, who am I talking about? Which famous character.
[35:37] Okay, if I can't make out for my faith, I am completely lost.
[35:41] This is a character and their middle names.
[35:43] Very with language. Yes.
[35:46] And that is interesting that why why would women are very with
[35:50] language because the moment when you start when you started with
[35:53] the middle name, I thought. Okay, he's coming back to Harry
[35:55] Potter and Dumbledore. Hmm.
[35:58] Because Alpha it will flake Percival.
[36:00] He has like a resident never alone.
[36:02] Yeah. Brian Dumbledore.
[36:03] Yes. So but no and the first name is
[36:07] Trevor in Icelandic, in Iceland. Yes, I want to start.
[36:12] I'm going to something like, see good sir.
[36:13] Ian Thorson or something that no.
[36:16] Okay, wow. This is interesting Elvis in
[36:18] French Elvis in French which is for my favorite of these lists
[36:23] of this Christmas in French, the middle name of this character is
[36:27] Elvis. In fact.
[36:28] Wait, we're not talking about psych dubbings across the TV
[36:32] show. Psych Gus's governmental name is
[36:35] Norman. Okay, now, going too much into,
[36:37] that was a little too deep. Shout out to the show.
[36:41] By the way, I love that show. Psych, if you might have not
[36:43] worked. If I'll have to check it out.
[36:45] No, you will have to give me a clue here and just stopped the
[36:48] name of this character. Is self-appointed.
[36:52] Name the character chooses it, this name for themselves, but is
[36:56] it the visit of Oz? No, he gave his own name to
[36:59] himself, he have his own name self-appointed.
[37:03] Name self-appointed theme. Okay, give me a time frame now
[37:08] for this character because I'm thinking all over literature for
[37:11] this, or is it a name to do it? It is literature you're right
[37:15] and literature. Let me give you another hint.
[37:18] The name that we know this character by famously, everybody
[37:23] would recognize the name has French Origins name itself as
[37:27] French Origins. Its name, the guy to give
[37:29] themselves the character, gave themselves the name.
[37:33] I in name myself in his French what character has a middle name
[37:38] Elvis. So obviously I went to living
[37:40] English name which would be a giveaway of a giveaway.
[37:45] French origin. Name person is obviously a
[37:49] famous character. They wanted to get rid of the
[37:52] characters backstories that they wanted to get rid of their
[37:56] actual name or whatever their birth name.
[37:58] So they chose this new name instead and it is their birth
[38:01] name which has these middle names.
[38:03] By the way, all, we know them by the name, they chose for
[38:08] themselves later. Yes, yes.
[38:09] Yes. Okay.
[38:11] Okay, because I was thinking something.
[38:13] Completely different. Different in that case.
[38:14] Yeah, I was trying to reason the French origin word that I was
[38:17] saying that the church is for the name that we chose for
[38:19] themselves. But the middle names is for
[38:21] their birth, their assigned name, as it were find name as in
[38:26] the parents would name you out ever.
[38:28] Yeah. Nope.
[38:30] I am stopped. I'm wondering what is a good
[38:32] hint to give without giving it away completely?
[38:36] Okay. This should hopefully get you
[38:38] there. Anagram, this is Voldemort.
[38:41] This is virtue. Is wonderful because Elvis in
[38:45] French. And you know why?
[38:47] Because Tom marvolo Riddle in English will change to I Am Lord
[38:51] Voldemort, okay, so what in different languages they change
[38:55] the name, just the name so that the the phrase that comes out in
[38:59] the Chamber of Secrets is. So in French, it becomes just
[39:03] three Voldemort which comes from Tom Elvis juice or I don't know
[39:09] how to pronounce it in French. But yeah, I can see where the
[39:15] Now it makes a lot of sense because she made it an anagram,
[39:19] she would have to do that in every language and my God Harry
[39:22] Potter's in. God knows how many languages
[39:24] word of the Year. Biggest largest translated Works
[39:28] ever. So so I mean like do you know if
[39:31] his last name changes or if that's your name everywhere else
[39:34] it does so riddle because obviously the fact that his name
[39:39] itself is the riddle is one of the common ones but like I said
[39:43] in It's Judas or in Greek. Its hurt in Hungarian.
[39:47] It's denim in Icelandic. The full name is Trevor.
[39:50] They'll go home and I'm probably just mispronouncing it all over
[39:52] the place, but yeah. Wow.
[39:56] And they try to keep it similar-sounding in most
[39:58] languages. So like in Portuguese it's the
[40:01] middle name is, Servo loan Tom Servo lower.
[40:04] It'll in, Spanish is Tom. Servo Laura riddle but really
[40:09] spelled with a why because soil Lord Voldemort.
[40:13] Would need a while so it'll spin to the way your soy was the
[40:17] most. You know what, what what, what
[40:20] is really going to be a problem is if there is, you know, a
[40:24] Harry Potter, like not, if at Harry Potter conventions, when
[40:28] people from two different countries, come together who
[40:31] read local translations, and then they try to communicate and
[40:35] they were Tom, marvolo Riddle of the day.
[40:36] Who's that? Which character they're there.
[40:38] Yeah, I just know Trevor they'll go Yeah, so then again, that
[40:45] brings up the question. What do they do for the movie?
[40:48] I imagine they did change it first.
[40:51] How many languages can you change it in?
[40:53] I mean, I do they dub it and like an eye in Iceland and all
[40:56] they would show the original thing.
[40:59] Right? Again, this is for the books,
[41:01] this is true for the books. Yeah.
[41:02] But for the movie, I really don't know what they did for the
[41:05] movie, because I don't think they would have gone to that
[41:07] much trouble. No studio in the, in the movie,
[41:10] he conjures up the letters in Thin air.
[41:14] So they would have to have to change the VFX for it.
[41:16] I would imagine if you do not do it in different ways, I have no
[41:19] idea what the movies but I know in the translated works in the
[41:23] books. These are the different names
[41:25] for 1/4 which world but obviously we know is a French
[41:28] origin name, which means flight from Death.
[41:32] Yeah yeah, yeah. That's that is and funnily
[41:35] enough. You came up with a Harry Potter
[41:36] question as well as soon as you do that.
[41:38] I'm like oh boy I'm glad we had a little journey with this
[41:42] question. That's great idea, that's just
[41:45] that I was. I was a very, very good
[41:47] question. I had no idea that, you know,
[41:52] this is something that was even remotely done, remotely
[41:56] possible, especially Elvis. I think Elvis is fantastic.
[41:59] I think this was just fantastic. I mean, like, there's no way I
[42:03] would have guessed it was Elvis, That's just out of the realm of
[42:08] possibility as far as I was concerned, was it possible that,
[42:12] you know, there's somebody there?
[42:14] A famous character whose maiden name, first of all, keep
[42:16] changing and that it's named Elvis the brilliant question,
[42:21] brilliant question. That's glad I had.
[42:24] You have to change. Yeah, so that's the end of our
[42:27] questions for this episode and the time that we have, but
[42:30] before we go as per tradition, just another Takashi of do you
[42:34] have a question for our viewers, if Mike and Chad had formed
[42:39] their banned in India? Instead of the u.s.?
[42:42] What could have been? Bad name.
