## Transcript

[0:00] I'm go back another day. Another episode.
[0:05] And as usual, we have some unfinished business from the
[0:09] previous week Other, they are crushing effect.
[0:13] Please answer the question that you had put forth Into The
[0:18] Ether. At the end of last week's
[0:21] episode, I had I had asked what garment from the world of Indian
[0:28] Cinema would Garner as much attention and and perhaps value
[0:35] monetarily or otherwise as did the little black dress from
[0:40] Breakfast at Tiffany's. Vinnie's.
[0:43] And I thought, long and hard and I could not come up with an
[0:47] answer and we need, I have to give you credit for making me
[0:51] realize what the real answer has to be for this.
[0:54] So if there is any hate mail for this answer, please directed to
[0:58] meet my this time around. We told me, it has to be the
[1:03] tower from South Korea or as a lot of fans, know it as Tau Alia
[1:10] repeat, the food's iconic. I'll be the one that would be
[1:15] auctioned for an obscene amount of money.
[1:19] I imagine. Yeah, that is the answer.
[1:23] Thank you. We need for giving me some help
[1:28] with that one. Yeah, I feel like Alfred Nobel,
[1:31] you know, having invented dynamite, I need, I need, I need
[1:37] to make amends, which I will do through surface.
[1:39] I am so sorry that is Just a top of the foot just just use all
[1:47] you have to do is just ask us some brilliant questions, and I
[1:52] will make up for all this turbulence has another question
[1:56] at the end of this episode, okay.
[2:00] Your turn to start off this week.
[2:01] So hit me, let me do that. Okay, you know what?
[2:05] I'm going to start us off with a question that friend of mine
[2:10] who's also a listener. Endemol and message it to me.
[2:14] And he's like, you know what, this will be a fun little
[2:16] trivia. So, this technique first friend
[2:21] of the sort of audience, be submitted question.
[2:24] Yeah, and I loved it is a really, really fun piece of
[2:28] trivia. Okay?
[2:29] So there is the 2006 movie called idiocracy.
[2:35] Yes, have you had to do video, Chrissy?
[2:37] I have watched it. I can't remember the story, but
[2:41] I I remember the main beats of the story.
[2:43] Yes. Wonderful.
[2:45] So I have not even washed it but as you realize that that that
[2:50] has little to do with the question, but Jay, but my
[2:57] watching it doesn't really matter.
[2:58] Anyways, Mike, Judge is the director of this film and he
[3:02] recently revealed that, in this film, this film is about, for
[3:08] those of you who might not, know about the circuits are, American
[3:12] Science Fiction, comedy film from 2006 and it is about a,
[3:20] decisively average. American is selected as a guinea
[3:23] pig for a top-secret hibernation program, but it's forgotten
[3:29] Awakening to a future. So incredibly moronic is easily
[3:34] the most intelligent person alive idea, being that that
[3:37] Society has progressed so much that everybody has become Really
[3:42] ridiculously stupid in this potential dystopian future.
[3:46] So it's a science fiction comedy film.
[3:49] Yeah. 40 Cruiser somebody play's.
[3:51] The president if I'm not mistaken again I take I really
[3:57] like check that every fact check that.
[4:00] So for this film as is with every science fiction from the
[4:04] production design had to do a lot of thinking about what the
[4:08] future would look like. And in this particular context,
[4:11] it has To look futuristic as well as look.
[4:13] Stupid. The production designer the
[4:16] costume designer did not have enough of a budget so she was
[4:22] looking for a specific item of clothing.
[4:26] That would fit the bill of futuristic yet.
[4:31] Stupid, this is back in 2006 what did she use in this film?
[4:37] That wasn't very popular back then, but is now I'm trying to
[4:44] remember the movie. I just remember for some reason,
[4:49] Terry Crews in an American flag top at, I can't remember much of
[4:56] it. I do remember the basic beats of
[4:58] the story. Yes.
[4:58] But I think one of the Wilson Brothers plays the protagonist.
[5:04] I'm not sure, but okay, is it something like a?
[5:09] Okay. So it's a piece of clothing that
[5:11] Very popular now. Yes, definitely popular now but
[5:17] back then wasn't and which is why it was an obscure little
[5:20] thing that the production designer, but the movie wet
[5:23] enough to remember what it was, okay, what kind of a fashion
[5:28] trend would is the costume designer thought that this would
[5:33] make complete sense in the context of being futuristic yet
[5:38] stupid? And in a very rather funny,
[5:44] little retelling of how this came to be.
[5:46] My judge says how he asked the costume designer.
[5:52] If what, if by the times oves released, you know, this has
[5:56] become very popular of people are using it.
[5:58] And people know of this and costume designer was just like
[6:02] a, have you seen these? These look really stupid.
[6:05] Nobody's ever, gonna adopt them on a mask?
[6:10] Game. Okay.
[6:12] I'm back as future predictions. Go.
[6:14] That was incredibly wrong. Okay, this is a big culottes.
[6:21] Those things that look like skirts, but are actually pants
[6:24] or something. No, no, okay.
[6:28] If it is it is it to deal with a fashion choice or is it like a
[6:32] fabric choice? Fashion.
[6:35] Okay, a lot of aluminum foil clothes or something think of a
[6:42] brand. Actually, it's not a drop, not a
[6:47] good. Hawks is the answer the answer.
[6:53] That's right. The Footwear that were using
[6:59] idiocracy because the costume designer thought that they look
[7:03] future, Rustic yet stupid and was convinced that this would
[7:07] never be adopted on a big enough scale and I guess Humanity has
[7:15] proved that wrong. We were like, you know what?
[7:18] These are great. We are gonna definitely have
[7:20] superficial. I would agree with 50% of what
[7:23] she said. It does look stupid, even though
[7:26] I do confess, I do own an army, camouflage color pair.
[7:32] Hmm, defense. It was 50% off.
[7:35] So we insist on it. It's fine, it's okay.
[7:42] Don't make excuses, right? Okay, nobody said they are
[7:46] comfortable. They are too because they are
[7:48] comfortable. I like how even in buying a pair
[7:51] of Crocs. You were like, let me buy a
[7:54] pair, which hopefully people will not see.
[7:56] Let me buy a camouflage camouflage.
[8:03] Okay. So strong So small, aside here,
[8:06] my wife was like, okay, that's a 50% discount on the people in
[8:10] the story of buying something else.
[8:11] And then she sees the back of stuff like, okay?
[8:14] That's 50% discount. I'm looking for the, my standard
[8:18] go to, which is plain black and it's completely sold out.
[8:22] The only thing available in my size was, you know, the green
[8:26] camouflage army, camouflage type and I think I'm voted maybe like
[8:32] one since I bought it. It weighs, but that's it.
[8:35] Yeah, okay, okay. Well, you and the rest of the
[8:39] world do think that there is some value to them.
[8:42] And hence, this movie of Chrissy is but I've been proven right?
[8:49] People are getting either stupider or or maybe they don't
[8:53] care. I don't know if I, there is
[8:55] Crocs, other Footwear in question here, a shout-out to
[9:02] London? Who citizen this?
[9:04] Question. So thanks Nolan.
[9:05] Yes, thank you. And thank you.
[9:08] And after Dawn to use your machine, okay, I'm going to ask
[9:15] a question, which I don't, again, think qualifies as a quiz
[9:19] question at all in any way shape or form.
[9:22] It's just a very, very interesting piece of trivia that
[9:26] I came across a couple of days ago.
[9:29] Okay, so bear with me here. It's a slightly, you know,
[9:34] long-winded question, synchronicity is a concept that
[9:39] was first introduced by psychologist Carl Jung to
[9:43] describe circumstances that appear meaningfully related, but
[9:49] lack a causation causal connection, right?
[9:54] So in his book, he gave an example of Emile de Chao.
[10:02] Who was a French for it. Now immunization made an
[10:07] incredible claimed in his autobiography, okay?
[10:12] Series of coincidences, which probably will never even
[10:15] believed that in 1805. They show received something
[10:21] from a man named Monsieur, the found Tick.
[10:24] Boom. Okay.
[10:26] In 1805, that was the first time a decade later they show wasn't
[10:31] Paris. And he saw ex advertised, and he
[10:36] went into this particular Let's call it drop, right?
[10:42] He went in and he was remembering the instance 10
[10:46] years ago when he first was given X by Monsieur.
[10:50] The van thick book so he asked for the, you know, the item he
[10:55] asked for x, and he was told, it was almost sold out.
[10:59] There was only one piece remaining and Of all the
[11:05] coincidences that you can think of Monsieur, the Fontainebleau
[11:09] was there and he met him again. When in the context of this item
[11:15] X In 1832, which is around 27 years after the first exporter
[11:23] at a dinner party. He again, saw X this item and
[11:29] then he remark to a friend that he only needed Monsieur, the
[11:33] found ignore. Around to make the moment
[11:35] complete and lo and behold he walks into the room, having
[11:41] arrived in the wrong address, he was at the same building.
[11:43] There was another party going on in the other room and he walks
[11:47] him. So the only three times that
[11:49] Emile they're shown I was exposed to, or was in the
[11:53] presence of or you know, had this item this year, the funk
[11:58] Teague was present. Now this sounds like a very Over
[12:04] the course of twenty, seven years, three instances, and all
[12:07] the same persons there every time and the oppose, the only
[12:10] times that this person has been exposed to or has Red X.
[12:15] And that is one of the examples that call Joe gives in his book
[12:19] synchronicity. My question is, what is X and
[12:25] also caveat? You know, I have a wife and
[12:28] child, please do not kill me after you hear the answer.
[12:37] A bunch of it was very french-sounding.
[12:41] Just going to get some friends stuff, I don't know.
[12:44] First, first guess is champagne. Okay, is it a is it an item of
[12:50] consumption food or drink? I'll give you.
[12:53] I'll give I'll get it because this is just so silly.
[12:56] I'll just tell you. It's a it's an item of dessert.
[12:59] It's a desert French dessert. I mean there are so many French
[13:10] dessert Monsieur de Fontainebleau.
[13:13] Ironically even though his name was there was an Englishman.
[13:17] Okay, some sort of dessert. I don't know.
[13:28] Is it a cake? Just know if it's kind of
[13:33] putting it? I just tell me what kind of to
[13:35] do this. So silly.
[13:37] I'm regretting, this answer big. I'm going to cut a cut this
[13:39] answer. Out of the episode that fish
[13:41] would just doesn't go away. I'll give you the satisfaction,
[13:46] I'm serious. Let's see.
[13:52] It's a putting it. Is it who is it?
[13:54] That blood The pudding or something.
[13:58] It's called, right? No, no, no, black pudding.
[14:01] Okay. So I'll just give you the
[14:02] answer, seriously. This is just ridiculous word.
[14:05] Plump body. So good in the world.
[14:13] Did you say this? Fascinates me?
[14:15] That this man has had Plum Pudding just three times in the
[14:18] world in his entire life. Over the course of twenty seven
[14:21] years, he had Plum Pudding just three times and all three times
[14:26] this is to just walk sit and that leads at least that's one
[14:31] of the supporting kind of things that call you of all people.
[14:36] You know uses to advance this concept of synchronicity.
[14:40] To going from Plum Pudding to psychological disease.
[14:46] Carl Jung was not thinking I think fire and I think if we had
[14:52] thought about it it was just a glitch in The Matrix somebody
[14:57] who has written the programming the code for this world.
[15:01] We live in was messing around. I was like oh every time this
[15:05] particular question eat this happens.
[15:09] Then this It happens just wrote a little Offense Code.
[15:12] Okay, if else statement. Yeah.
[15:14] Okay, computer science. Makes it easy question.
[15:25] Why did I do this? It's so funny.
[15:30] I have no idea what to answer this question.
[15:39] The next equation of the environment, especially this
[15:43] fantastic. I'm sure.
[15:44] Next question. We've had a stick but let me ask
[15:46] my, let me ask mine. Okay, great.
[15:51] So John McCready, okay, worked with the medical equipment
[15:57] manufacturer back in 1929. Okay?
[16:03] What did he create to help people in the American?
[16:09] An Air Force to do their job better.
[16:13] John McCreary, medically, medical device manufacturer
[16:19] like, that's right, devise something for the Air Force to
[16:24] make their job better. Okay, I have a couple of
[16:32] guesses. Is it?
[16:35] Are those those constricted pants, which pushed Add up so
[16:40] that people do the pilot don't pass out when they're pulling
[16:44] High G's but this is Diamond 29, right?
[16:47] They wouldn't be pulling that many.
[16:48] Geez who you are, you're a great guest but no it is in that
[16:55] answer. It isn't the answer.
[16:57] Okay. And you're probably right.
[16:59] It was probably because there wasn't such a need back then.
[17:02] Yeah. No.
[17:03] Because I don't, I don't remember if it was a World War,
[17:07] One of old. What to Pirate, who Lost both of
[17:10] his legs, in an accident, in a crash or something.
[17:14] And then, he got back on the plane, using a specially
[17:16] modified plane that he could use his controls without his legs
[17:19] and turned out, he was a better pirate because he could make
[17:22] sharper turns because the blood didn't have anywhere to go to it
[17:26] stayed up in his head, in the upper half of his body rather
[17:29] than, you know, going to the bottom where he's pulling a
[17:31] sharp turn. So that's okay, so so second
[17:36] would be the ejector seat. We know that the ejector seat
[17:41] either. No, no.
[17:42] Okay. It isn't as something similar
[17:45] simple as a helmet, right? Or a bicycle.
[17:48] It is not a helmet. It's not a visor.
[17:51] Okay. So then I'm going to have I'm
[17:53] going to need to close them. All right?
[17:55] Sure. This medical equipment
[17:57] manufacturer was based in New York McCready was worried about
[18:04] the intense blue and white Hues of the sky.
[18:09] Okay, these two Clues might lead you closer to use from New York.
[18:17] Well, the the manufacturers in New York.
[18:19] So maybe that tells you haven't told you, which company it was
[18:22] if I tell it the name, that might also be a clue, which I
[18:25] will give you next. Okay.
[18:27] Let's do number one. The second clue was he was
[18:30] worried or what he was trying to figure out was how to help solve
[18:33] the destruction caused by the blue and white Hues of the sky.
[18:41] Ray-Ban sunglasses saw that look that look that we need has on
[18:47] his face before he knows he has tracked, the answer you are
[18:54] right? Absolutely.
[18:56] So a little bit of history in 1929 John McCready who was a US
[19:02] Army Air corps Colonel, he was working with Bausch & Lomb.
[19:08] People would know, they make a lot of glasses and contact
[19:11] lenses. A huge chunk of the world's
[19:13] contact lens. Come from Bausch & Lomb and he
[19:18] was trying to figure out how to reduce the distraction for
[19:22] Pilots caused by the intense blue and white Hues from the sky
[19:26] and basically increase the visibility.
[19:29] And that's how the Ray-Bans came to being some fun.
[19:34] Ray-Ban trivia actually found when I was researching, Did you
[19:38] know, Tom Cruise has single-handedly increase the
[19:43] sales for a band in multiple movies and not be surprised.
[19:50] This happened in, I will have to fact-check this but apparently
[19:55] 1983 in Wayfarer in Risky Business.
[19:59] He wore Wayfarers, which is a design for a base.
[20:03] Remember that? I really should Factor this but
[20:09] the sounds incredible. They boosted Ray-Ban, says
[20:12] around 50%, which is huge three as new example, was I?
[20:18] Again, I would not be surprised since 1983, so it isn't Tom
[20:23] Cruise of, don't be an existing business that the dance of his.
[20:29] Yeah, in like that propelled him to a completely different Level.
[20:37] I mean, it just three years later, we're talking ideally
[20:40] three, registry years later. He managed to not only get a
[20:44] dream project but convinced the US Navy that for this project to
[20:50] work he would need to fly in an F-16.
[20:55] That's the end of that is the next time he boosted sales
[21:00] because that time you were aviators and played some beach
[21:03] volleyball and this time apparently it went on 24. 80%
[21:07] increase and the first time was in Rain Man, which was another
[21:13] time various bathing wearing these iconic classes and another
[21:17] 15 percent boost. So apparently single-handedly he
[21:23] has and three different occasions.
[21:25] I imagine even after Maverick, he probably did boost the sales
[21:29] a little bit. Probably probably.
[21:32] Yes, he has done this time and time again, so yeah, some fun
[21:35] little trivia about. When it comes to now, a CI
[21:43] Insurance should probably have take this out at some point, but
[21:47] it's okay. So years and years ago, I read a
[21:51] school quiz, which I hadn't dated.
[21:53] Somebody dropped a question asking as to why Pilots of Air
[22:01] Force One? At least the seventies used to
[22:04] wear an eye patch like fire. Oops.
[22:09] The answer being as to the reason they were it was that in
[22:13] case there was a nuclear Flash from other was a flash from a
[22:18] nuclear bomb exploding. They would go blind in one eye.
[22:23] So they could just shift the patch to the other side and
[22:26] still fly the plane. I have always had questions
[22:29] regarding this, but I've never actually fact checked it.
[22:32] Now that I have somebody else, who does the fact check Okay, I
[22:41] shall do my due diligence and try to figure that one out, but
[22:45] that sounds like an incredible little piece of trivia, if that
[22:48] is true. Yeah, of course, we do.
[22:51] The one last piece of trivia, perhaps, in this relation
[22:54] because you mentioned eye patches and the accepted reason
[23:00] as to why see men and sailors used to wear eye, patches was
[23:06] just Cuz when you are on the deck, you would have the glare
[23:09] of the Sun and then as soon as you go to low deck below deck,
[23:13] you should be still able to see. So which is when you would use
[23:15] your other, I should not be blinded by the glare of the sun
[23:20] and the Sea, and you would still be able to do whatever he needed
[23:23] to do below deck without needing time to adjust to the darkness.
[23:29] That's why they used to wear eye patches.
[23:31] Yeah. Well, Terry and then being just
[23:36] a friend or more, it will take your Nelson, it is definitely a
[23:42] necessity. You don't want people looking at
[23:45] your empty eye socket. That would that talk to your
[23:49] site if you okay? Why didn't last Kennedy I'm
[23:58] going to turn right? And I'm Kennedy I'm saying this
[24:00] is widen plus Kennedy is an It can independent Global
[24:04] advertising agency widely known for its work with Nike, founded
[24:10] by their Dan widen, and David Kennedy.
[24:13] It's headquartered in Portland, Oregon and it's one of the
[24:16] largest independently owned advertising agencies in the
[24:20] world. They came up with just do it for
[24:24] Nike. Where do you want to go today
[24:27] for Microsoft? And the man, your man could
[24:31] smell like for colds. Twice.
[24:34] However, one of their Creations, our campaigns is ubiquitous in
[24:37] India and practically seen every single day for the past.
[24:43] Maybe half a decade, what campaign or what.
[24:48] Exactly did they make to the these these campaigns do some
[24:52] very famous scene every day. Does it have anything?
[25:01] It's quite it's everywhere. Nowadays, it's on products.
[25:04] You see it on posters? You see it in a lot of places is
[25:12] something to do with in the last five years.
[25:14] You said I'm saying my F5 to maybe post 2015 2016 if you will
[25:25] just bear with me. I will tell you the exact year.
[25:29] With this road I've been 2014. Okay, so I'm pretty fortunate
[25:34] thing. Is it, is it something for the
[25:36] Modi government? Is it something for government
[25:39] of India? Yes, yes it is something for the
[25:42] government of India. Interesting is, it's what
[25:48] bharath? No, but very close.
[25:52] Okay, I don't think clean India, green, India's, only 2014, No.
[25:59] No, actually, they kind of design the campaign and what you
[26:03] would recognize is the logo. They believe that because they
[26:08] made the logo for this particular campaign.
[26:13] If you want to let me make one last guess though, I don't know
[26:17] if there is a famous logo, why I was thinking Atman labor, but
[26:20] that also I don't care. I can't recall the famous logo
[26:23] for our panel /. Yeah, you know, you're in the
[26:27] ballpark. Okay.
[26:28] So the I would say that on the face of it, when I tell you
[26:32] that, an American company, made this Loco, it's a little ironic
[26:38] well then at Minerva sounds like a That I thought the desert
[26:44] there's a particular campaign with an English name and that's
[26:48] reflected on this logo or make in India.
[26:52] Yes, it is. The make in India.
[26:54] Logo, the line. Okay.
[26:56] Make it into the ha ha. The logo is not made in India in
[27:10] India because it was designed by one of the Indian subsidiaries
[27:14] of wider. Nicholas Kennedy.
[27:17] Okay, so, take it is making India, we're in the Indian
[27:23] company, doesn't he make in India?
[27:25] So an American company but they did make it in India.
[27:32] That is funny. That is a great piece of trivia.
[27:34] Okay. Cool is not sure but is making
[27:42] the the same without Minerva, right.
[27:44] I think it is the same team. We like the fact that because
[27:47] I'm like so many skin. Yeah so many schemes.
[27:53] Okay. All righty.
[27:54] We shall fact check that stick around till the end of the
[27:58] episode but moving on. All right.
[28:00] The next question is from the world of literature.
[28:03] I'm going to start by giving you the name of this author.
[28:08] It's a three parter name and the name is XY, rods and X, and Y,
[28:13] is what you to figure out X Y, godson.
[28:19] Chose to go under a pseudonym. Just use a pseudonym, rather and
[28:24] name. When he started writing, his
[28:26] famous works of literature and that pen name was derived.
[28:30] Arrived from X and Y and we obviously know him better by the
[28:33] pen name, right? Okay so what he did was it is a
[28:37] play on his actual name. XY e took the Y part of his name
[28:44] and that which was in English. Oh boy.
[28:52] Am I making a making a mess of this?
[28:55] Will let me try that again. All right, so the word in a
[28:57] while. Yes, okay, fine.
[28:58] The, why would he chose the Latin form of that word?
[29:02] And then he anglicized that all over again.
[29:05] Okay, so why was his name? He chose the Latin form of that
[29:09] word and then you anglicized it, right?
[29:12] Okay. That's how he got the first word
[29:16] of his pen name. Okay.
[29:24] Yes. Okay.
[29:25] Let me just let me just recap real name from the second from
[29:30] his middle name. Yeah.
[29:33] Okay. All right.
[29:35] And X in his actual name it took that and the Latin form of that
[29:43] he found a name which was a similar Irish.
[29:48] Word that Latin form and that became the second part of our
[29:55] band name. Yeah.
[29:56] So just to just to give it a, the tldr of it is XY.
[30:00] Dodson is his name. His pen name is why slightly
[30:04] modified and like slightly modified in that order.
[30:07] So, XY dot sin, became why modified X modified, I'm just
[30:11] having like a very complex math equation but he makes played
[30:15] around with the latinized version and And anglicized form
[30:19] of words and he came up with this very famous and name.
[30:22] How about put more of our misery?
[30:25] Afridi tell me what the answer is?
[30:27] I'm assuming you already know. Yeah, so because you said dots
[30:31] and I only know one author whose last name is Dodson and
[30:36] coincidentally he too has a pen name though.
[30:39] I'm not familiar with how who came up with the pen name but I
[30:43] would suggest that this is Louis scary.
[30:49] He was a child, something about said, I don't remember, yeah,
[30:56] you're completely right? I just I'm the listeners
[31:00] concede. What I'm sweating buckets right
[31:02] now because just this is physically rest his soul so
[31:07] convoluted but it's beautiful. Okay, let me now admits much
[31:10] easier to just say the words out then took the eggs and white.
[31:15] All right. So Charles Is lutwidge, dodgson,
[31:18] not his birth name. And what happens when you take
[31:23] the word lutwidge, the latinized form of that is Ludo vicious.
[31:28] And when you only says that that becomes Lewis, So lahood's Latin
[31:34] is Ludo vicious and anglicize from that is Louis and for
[31:37] Charles Laughton form would be careless and Carol was an Irish
[31:44] name similar to careless which is why he chose Carol as the
[31:49] last name and the first name of course was Louis.
[31:54] So it became Lewis Carroll because Charles lutwidge
[31:57] translated into Latin would be careless lewd wishes and when
[32:01] you try Figured back into English, it will become Carol
[32:04] Lewis or Lewis Carroll as he is now known.
[32:08] Okay? Know which was the poor that he
[32:11] first uses to remove it. I can't remember that.
[32:19] Poem is Solitude brief, very famous poem by Lewis Carroll and
[32:24] okay, slow it is solid. Yeah, okay okay that Convoluted
[32:32] question. Right?
[32:34] If I moved it but I do appreciate it and the Latin bent
[32:38] kind of gives me a segue into my next question.
[32:42] That's all I'm there for just to give you security plan.
[32:49] I haven't even actually phrase this into a question yet.
[32:52] It's been something I heard on a podcast recently.
[32:56] A not recently some time ago and it's been germinating.
[33:00] What? I never actually got down to
[33:01] technical question so bear with me.
[33:03] If it doesn't follow of smooth, you know, path.
[33:08] All right. So X is the title X was, that's
[33:13] it. The title given to an elected
[33:16] position, okay, in the earth while Roman Empire, okay?
[33:22] Okay. This position came with a lot of
[33:26] power, okay? But it was only for a limited
[33:30] duration. okay, and it was always a legal appointment
[33:37] because okay, so there is a there is a little bit of, you
[33:40] know, kinda it's an appointed position, but there is some kind
[33:43] of an elective thing involved as in where the low Roman senate
[33:47] and the console's the word, the Broadway's to consoles, they
[33:51] would kind of deciding vote and decide who to appoint to this
[33:56] emergency legal position and that position was given only for
[34:01] a Very limited period of time. All right, and at the end of the
[34:06] term this person would have to step down.
[34:11] All right. What was the name of the title?
[34:16] Which currently has probably the exact opposite meaning to not
[34:22] opposite meaning with the opposite connotation than it?
[34:26] Had an ancient Rome. Interesting.
[34:28] I was going to say Caesar But no Caesar.
[34:33] I would say, Caesar is a good example of this.
[34:35] He did hold the position once or twice if it isn't season.
[34:39] Also, tighten knows he's actually was his name.
[34:43] I think. And the right because I do after
[34:47] that. Yeah, I think it became
[34:49] apparent, okay? But absolutely become a title of
[34:52] because if I remember his name, being guys, do to Caesar.
[34:56] You are right? You are actually right?
[34:58] Yeah, but I somehow thinks he's a big Imitating.
[35:01] Perhaps, then after we will factor to see the Kaiser, the
[35:05] German Kaiser comes from Caesar. If I'm not mistaken geyser comes
[35:09] from Caesar, even the word Russian words are comes from,
[35:11] Caesar. Those are from those already.
[35:13] And interestingly enough, I think the Ottoman Empire also
[35:17] had. They also claim to be the
[35:19] descendants of, you know, Rome and razors I tried.
[35:23] So even though they were completely different.
[35:27] Yeah. So anyway, coming back to the
[35:28] question. What was the Isshin or title was
[35:33] given to this legal appointment, which was always always intended
[35:40] to be for a limited, very limited duration.
[35:43] And dude, and you said that this would be your most contrary to
[35:49] its current usage, current connotation.
[35:52] Yes. Hmm partly every - think of it.
[35:57] You wouldn't consider as a current in those days it was a
[35:59] very positive connotation, right?
[36:03] Very positive. And nowadays, not If you think
[36:11] it's not a positive connotation anymore than it makes you think
[36:14] I might be wrong, but a guess would be Ombudsman.
[36:21] No, no not. Okay.
[36:24] Okay. So I'll just give you an
[36:25] example, you already know of Caesar, right?
[36:29] You know, of Caesar the person for whom Cincinnati was named
[36:35] was probably the greatest living example.
[36:38] Earth, living obviously, not looking over at the time, the
[36:40] greatest example of a person who helped is position and you know,
[36:47] he followed it to the letter and the spirit of that position this
[36:51] was when it was still a positive thing.
[36:54] Oh, and this guy was told to come and take this position and
[37:02] a very promptly abdicated, the position once the job was done
[37:06] the song, Some anecdote like that.
[37:09] I've heard of the anecdote. No Ike Ike.
[37:16] I don't know why I need a perhaps another hint or
[37:19] something. Okay, so this okay let me just
[37:22] take you back to the do another kind of to you, have you watched
[37:29] The Dark Knight? I know that this is all very
[37:33] much. Like the Dark Knight that
[37:34] dialogue where they're talking about the last guy who did this,
[37:37] he refused to give up his position and yes.
[37:41] So you either live, you You either die a hero or you live
[37:44] long enough to see yourself become long enough to see
[37:46] yourself become the villain which is frankly, one of the
[37:48] most shoehorned in pieces of foreshadowing, that I've seen
[38:09] your safety. Shooting down Dark Knight as
[38:13] being. I'm not working.
[38:17] I'm saying that particular piece of for sharing a little clumsily
[38:22] shoehorned in. I mean there's nobody talks like
[38:23] that at dinner. Come on.
[38:27] Beneath my speaks for himself and himself alone.
[38:29] He does not speak from the broadcast or for me, any lovers
[38:36] of Dark Knight and Nolan. Please listen.
[38:40] All I hate Mildred. Okay, there's nobody coming back
[38:42] to this proof. I actually don't know who
[38:48] Cincinnati is named after I'm assuming somebody called
[38:51] Cincinnati, it was a gentleman by the name of Lucius quintic to
[38:57] Queen. This quintus Cincinnatus or he
[39:02] was as commonly mononymously known as Cincinnatus Cincinnatus
[39:07] that myself and you know I once ate what he did this more than
[39:11] one. So I'll give you a little more
[39:13] expanded kind of glue into this. It was only done in In terms or
[39:17] in times of extreme emergency when especially when he was
[39:22] under attack. So they would appoint one person
[39:25] to this position and he would have absolute power.
[39:29] Now Cincinnatus is known for being the ideal Roman because he
[39:34] gave up absolute power at the end of six months or whatever is
[39:37] duration was and then went back to the coming of Pharma, all
[39:41] right. A dictator.
[39:47] I'm just going to guess a bitch. Exactly a dictator.
[39:50] Wow, wow. That should have been my first
[39:54] guess and I don't think that's too obvious.
[39:56] And sounds ridiculous, like, didn't say it.
[39:58] Okay, liked it. Okay.
[39:59] Yeah. So cool.
[40:00] In Latin dictator was a judge temporarily invested with
[40:06] absolute power, okay? Temporarily.
[40:10] And it originally was a legal an appointment and he was a
[40:14] magistrate given solar power for a limited duration.
[40:17] At the end of the term. The dictators power was returned
[40:20] to the two consuls of Rome. So okay, so first thing to eat
[40:26] started, you know, gaining its negative connotation.
[40:30] First with Cornelius sulla, who became a dictator forming solar
[40:34] Civil War making him the first dictator in Rome after more than
[40:37] a century, he abolished the kind of time limit and the need for
[40:42] Any you know election or you know bestowing the title by the
[40:48] Senate he resigned after to avoid a major construction site
[40:53] crisis, somebody more familiar that we are familiar with is
[40:57] Julius Caesar. He did the same thing in 49 and
[41:01] in 44 BC and he called he proclaimed himself dictator
[41:06] Perpetual as in dictator in perpetuity and prematurity.
[41:11] Yeah, so, it's basically, after that it started having this
[41:15] negative term until then it was a very honorable position.
[41:19] One person given all the rights to make the decision when the
[41:24] enemy is at the gates. Right.
[41:28] Interesting, okay okay, I just again, selfless blog.
[41:32] If you haven't listened to it, please listen to this amazing
[41:35] podcast, which is it's quite old.
[41:37] Actually, the purpose is almost I don't know how many years old,
[41:40] it's quite old but it still holds up really well.
[41:43] It's called The History of Rome. If this in-depth, you know,
[41:49] detailing into Rome and its history throughout it's just
[41:52] fascinating. That is fascinating to history
[41:55] geek like me but it's one of the top podcasts you should listen
[42:00] to if you're listening to a trivia podcasts as a safe bet
[42:05] that you like history as well. So yeah good recommendation.
[42:10] Okay great the next question I have is an etymology question.
[42:14] I haven't I don't know if it was last time tag to avoid these,
[42:20] why? I love them so much.
[42:22] So here's one more. Hit me.
[42:25] This one I would imagine is an easy one.
[42:28] So let's see how quickly we need cracks has this particular
[42:34] etymology came about in 1939. It was Georgia t''v reference to
[42:41] a Soviet foreign minister, okay was one of the architects of a
[42:47] pact. Okay, so there was a pact that
[42:50] was signed and this was a majority of reference to his
[42:55] involvement in it into his name itself.
[42:58] The origin of the name was because this particular
[43:01] gentleman, he said during the winter war that he declared on
[43:08] the radio that the bombing missions over Finland were
[43:12] actually Airborne humanitarian food deliveries for the starving
[43:19] neighbors of Soviet Russia. Okay, so men, the Finish heard
[43:25] this and they were obviously obviously just to completely
[43:30] annoyed at this man, for saying, such a, such a senseless and
[43:35] almost hurtful little thing of of of making it so sounds.
[43:40] So casual the amount of debt that was happening.
[43:43] Because what again just to reiterate, he called the
[43:47] incendiary bombing missions over Finland.
[43:50] He called nose airborne humanitarian food, deliveries to
[43:54] starving Neighbors which is as far as just shooting down your
[44:01] opponent's goes as one of the worst things you could do and
[44:05] which is why the finish in their response when they responded
[44:09] with something and something is what we are getting at, they
[44:13] used a pejorative term name which was supposed to reference
[44:18] this particular gentleman, what a technology comes On this
[44:26] something with a Molotov cocktail that has Iraq.
[44:30] I spent so much time trying to face the question.
[44:34] I need to take two seconds to answer it.
[44:36] This does not seem fair at all. Is your name?
[44:41] It's the most of cocktail very well cracked.
[44:44] This guy's name was more talk of and he was one of the architects
[44:49] of molotov-ribbentrop Pact. And the Finish were very annoyed
[44:54] at the fact itself. And also the fact that he said
[44:57] this very, very hurtful thing on the radio about the bombing
[45:03] missions being actually food. So when they were responding
[45:07] with Molotov cocktails for those of you who might not know
[45:09] Molotov cocktails at this device which basically bursts into
[45:14] flames on impact, it supposed to be a bottle with some sort of
[45:18] alcohol use. And then glass bottom half will
[45:21] be petrol with Patrol site week. Yeah, so you have a bottle of
[45:27] Patron, half of the fumes, when you throw it, it breaks apart
[45:31] the fumes get ignited by the burning Wick, and which the rest
[45:36] of the liquid petrol, then I attacks is yours is like that,
[45:40] he and effective, I don't know why we need knows this in so
[45:43] much detail. I don't know what he does in his
[45:45] free time but but that is exactly right.
[45:52] By the way, I'm the one asking the questions who did the
[45:55] research and he has explained it much more than I did.
[45:58] So he doesn't even have the Wikipedia page.
[46:01] Open is sort of the handheld. Firebomb was developed basically
[46:09] attack and Destroy Soviet tanks by Gorilla the warm bodies.
[46:17] And yeah so guerrilla warfare technique and the fins called it
[46:21] a mullet of Cocktail because it was supposed to go as a drink
[46:26] with the food Parcels at Malta was delivering.
[46:29] So that is where the cocktail part of it comes from.
[46:31] So, here's a cocktail for all the food Parcels that you're
[46:35] giving us, and I thought that was a pretty resounding reply to
[46:40] somebody who sounded like, pardon my friends like a
[46:44] complete asshole. Yeah, you know.
[46:54] Okay, that was a great question. I am going to go back to poke,
[47:04] okay? So I'm going to go back to
[47:06] movies. Not actually movie.
[47:08] Is that followed entertainment by?
[47:11] This is as many of my questions are.
[47:13] This is a slightly long-winded question so bear with me.
[47:18] Yeah, I'm fairly sure you'll practice quite easily, but The
[47:23] opening theme of this iconic 2000, TV show is a classic
[47:29] costal and blues inspired song. Now, what's particular about
[47:34] this is in each season, they used a different recording of
[47:39] the same song and a different opening.
[47:43] Sequence with the team being performed by The Blind Boys of
[47:47] Alabama weights the Neville Brothers do Jame and Steve Earle
[47:53] during its run several, reviewers called it.
[47:56] The best show on television, including Time Magazine
[48:00] Entertainment, Weekly, The Chicago Tribune, the San
[48:03] Francisco Chronicle, the British newspaper the guardian, which
[48:07] also ran a week-by-week block following every episode in 2007
[48:13] time listed among the 100 best television series of all time.
[48:17] In 2013, The Writers Guild of America, ranked as the ninth,
[48:21] best tell the TV. Series Rolling Stone ranked.
[48:25] It number two on its list of 100 greatest TV shows of all time
[48:29] and they ranked at the fourth, when they remade the list in
[48:31] 2022 in 2021 Empire, ranked it at number four, on their list of
[48:37] 100 greatest TV shows of all time and BBC, ranked it at
[48:42] number one, all of the 100 greatest TV series of the 21st
[48:46] century, which show am I talking about the wire, Yeah but idiots
[48:53] what in my opinion season 3 opening is the best season 3
[49:01] open. I've been a big fan of the team.
[49:06] The opening team has been one of the things that I've Loved from
[49:10] the shows. Do you know a lot of songs?
[49:14] I actually don't remember the name of the song.
[49:15] I'm pretty sure I've heard it a few times more than a few times
[49:18] but I don't remember the name. What is the name?
[49:20] Its way down in the hole. Way down in the world.
[49:23] Yes, yes, yes, that is all. That is all.
[49:25] Okay. So audience listeners, who may
[49:29] not have heard or seen as the wire?
[49:31] It's an amazing TV shows up in Baltimore, you have to watch it
[49:35] not for young people. I would suggest it another show
[49:40] targeted towards adults. The opening theme is Way Down in
[49:43] the Hole or gospel and blues inspired song written by Tom
[49:46] Waits for his 1987 album Frank's while.
[49:49] Here's each season uses a different route cording and a
[49:52] different opening sequence the season for version of Way Down
[49:56] in the Hole was recorded and arranged for the show and
[49:59] performed by five Baltimore teenagers.
[50:02] I have an Ashford Mark, the steel Cameron Brown theoretical
[50:05] severe and every every bar guess Lucas, the viewer who calls a
[50:10] perform. The fifth has envisioned is a
[50:12] member of the cast, playing the recovering drug addict wall.
[50:16] That is widely regarded as probably one of the best TV
[50:20] series to ever hit the airwaves. What a fantastic show.
[50:24] Honestly, it is it. You cannot praise that show
[50:27] enough. Seems like it just talk to you
[50:30] and then you just can't let go in the snow.
[50:33] It's like that. I tried watching it, I tried
[50:36] watching it the first time, and I was, I was not hooked
[50:39] instantly, so, I think it took me a second, try to get hooked
[50:43] to it, but that has happened with me a lot of great shows.
[50:45] Like, I remember Game of Thrones took me two tries.
[50:48] I remember Breaking Bad took me 2.
[50:50] Theta is some of these I think. Worth enjoying a piece of art.
[50:54] They just take any program. I think the Common Thread there
[50:57] is your old very intense shows Perhaps Perhaps as opposed to
[51:04] like something like say a sitcom which is very easy and very
[51:08] simple and and nothing against it still wonderful form of
[51:11] entertainment. But oh man and Michael Williams.
[51:15] I believe passed away very recently or maybe a while back.
[51:18] I'm not sure but what a fantastic performance as oh.
[51:22] Are immature or just a little fantastic show.
[51:25] Yeah, sure. Which is great.
[51:27] It was just great. Some very interesting, not
[51:32] cameos. Some very interesting
[51:33] appearances by people who are perhaps not as famous back.
[51:36] Then it was a interstella being one of them, I believe.
[51:41] Michael, B, Jordan is also there in it as a young teenager.
[51:46] Whoa. Okay, that's deep-fried.
[51:49] I don't remember. I have to re-watch it.
[51:51] I haven't watched The series in, I think six or seven years.
[51:54] Now, I have to go back and watch, ever, watch it again -
[51:59] Michael I think. So, I'll fact check that and you
[52:01] can watch it again as well, but I believe, Michael B.
[52:04] Jordan is. Yeah, if you ever want to watch
[52:09] a TV series where you find big names names were big right now
[52:15] in bit parts, or cameos or like, the not even cameras is a cameo
[52:21] by definition. Be somebody who's already very
[52:23] known coming in for a short period of time.
[52:25] These are all like big names now are paying big Parts.
[52:29] I would point you towards Band of Brothers, right?
[52:34] Yeah, Band of Brothers, had Tom Hardy, Michael Fassbender, huge
[52:40] cast of people, many of whom would now one all A-list stars
[52:44] and they have these tiny tiny Parts appearing in one episode
[52:47] of Who episode. And I would frankly put a Band
[52:50] of Brothers among the top five team.
[52:52] He shows of all time, limited ever, notice TV series because
[52:55] it's a limited series miniseries, but it's just
[52:57] amazing, good things. I wanted to watch.
[53:01] I haven't seen our camps, Easy Company, my God.
[53:03] It's just, this is emotional hook.
[53:06] The and it's very well Nate. It's very very limited series
[53:13] that I think it's called the Pacific.
[53:14] I wasn't that impressed but this was just amazing.
[53:22] I shall add it to my watch list then.
[53:24] Yeah. Hmm.
[53:26] So I think we have run out of time and run out of questions.
[53:31] He's with this episode. I did Ian, you know what to do.
[53:38] I think by this time the listeners are very aware that I
