## Transcript

[0:00] Welcome to Are you quizzing Me? I am Vineet Nair with my Co host
[0:04] Aditya Kashyap. This is a quizzing trivia
[0:07] podcast show. Join us as we dive deep into
[0:10] history, science, pop culture and so much more.
[0:14] Let's get quizzing. And we're back for episode #54
[0:20] of Are You Quizzing Me? Your Favorite Quizzing and
[0:23] trivia podcast show. Aditya and I are back for
[0:26] another round of quizzing. Before we get to our regular
[0:29] round of quizzing, we have our usual audience question.
[0:32] This is a question I'll ask now and the answer to which I will
[0:35] reveal at the end of the episode.
[0:37] The question for today, dear audience, is this.
[0:40] Just like Jason Derülo and Pitbull, who frequently scream
[0:45] their names during their performances, Jamaican rapper
[0:48] Sean Paul has done the same during his musical career.
[0:52] During his performances, the Jamaican rapper often begins and
[0:56] Peppers his songs with the phrase Sean DePaul, seemingly to
[1:01] psych himself up before the rest of the lyrics.
[1:04] Recently, however, he has said that he actually is not saying
[1:07] his own name, it's a shout out to someone else.
[1:11] Can you guess who this is? I will reveal the answer to this
[1:14] at the end of today's episode. So now we go to Aditya, who has
[1:19] had us on tenterhooks this past week with that question of his
[1:23] that he asked at the end of last week's episode.
[1:25] Aditya, what's your answer? The question I asked last week
[1:29] was just like October Sky is an anagram for Rocket Boys, which
[1:35] are the 90s. Hollywood film was also an
[1:38] anagram that was rejected. When it comes to 90s films, is
[1:43] there any more iconic than, at least for kids who were growing
[1:48] up in the 90s. Then Home Alone and Home Alone
[1:53] initially was called 01 Male, and they realized that isn't a
[2:00] very good name, so they changed it to Home Alone and that's very
[2:05] accurately exactly what happened.
[2:07] You can quote me on this. Yeah, it is the other.
[2:12] Guarantee from every episode. Why?
[2:15] Why do you do this to me? Once in a while you come up with
[2:20] some really big zingers and then you just drop a stinker like
[2:25] this one. Aditya, come on man.
[2:27] This one was just painful. I have to keep you on your toes,
[2:31] vineeth. Yes, yes.
[2:33] You're keeping us and the audience at our toes, on our
[2:36] toes, like rather moving past that Vesuvian eruption.
[2:41] Let's start our regular round of quizzing Aditya.
[2:45] Why don't you start us off for this week?
[2:47] Awesome. So today's episode is a special
[2:51] episode, and you might be wondering why is it a special
[2:55] episode? Is it because we're celebrating
[2:58] Republic Day? No, we aren't.
[3:01] We did that last year. Turns out not a lot of you were
[3:04] interested in in India Special. So instead we are doing Vineet's
[3:08] special. Vineet's birthday went by very
[3:10] recently. I, genius that I am, knew that
[3:15] even though Vineet has hidden it from all the social media
[3:18] profiles. So today we're doing Vineet's
[3:21] Special. OK Vineet, I have some
[3:24] questions. You will find a connect for all
[3:27] the questions eventually, or if you figure it out halfway let me
[3:31] know. Let me just give this disclaimer
[3:34] up front, This is not my idea. Oh no, we need that.
[3:37] No clue. I have been ambushed during this
[3:40] recording for this and I do not appreciate it, but hello.
[3:45] He's put in a lot of effort I'm guessing, or maybe minimal
[3:48] effort, who knows. So, Aditya.
[3:51] Hit me. It is the least of all efforts
[3:53] that could be put in. So our first question is from
[3:59] the world of music. OK, I'm going to tell you 2
[4:03] coincidences that are associated with this piece of music and you
[4:07] have to figure out what piece of music am I talking about.
[4:11] OK, so this particular piece of music has sometimes been
[4:16] referred to as X. The 1st letter of X is
[4:21] coincidentally the Roman character for a specific number
[4:28] and hence the associated phrase is now connected to the song.
[4:34] This association came around in the time of World War 2 after
[4:38] Winston Churchill started using it.
[4:41] Now the second piece of coincidence that is associated
[4:44] with this piece of music is that in Morse code, when the 1st
[4:49] letter of X is also used, it coincides with how this music
[4:54] progresses. Now I know I've been pretty
[4:57] vague and I'll give you more clues if you need it, but I just
[4:59] want to know. Do you know the answer to what
[5:01] be some music am I talking about?
[5:04] Let me repeat the two clues again, actually, because that
[5:07] might help. Since the Second World War, when
[5:10] Winston Churchill first used this particular connection, this
[5:13] piece of music has also been referred to as X, the 1st letter
[5:18] of X, the word X, or the phrase X or whatever X is the 1st
[5:22] letter of X is coincidentally a specific Roman numeral
[5:28] character. OK, that's the first
[5:30] coincidence. The coincidence is the 1st
[5:33] letter of X is a specific Roman numeric character.
[5:36] The second piece of coincidence is that some 30 years after this
[5:41] piece of music came around, the 1st letter of again we're going
[5:45] back to X in Morse code had a representation that
[5:51] coincidentally was similar to the song itself.
[5:54] What piece of music am I talking?
[5:56] About. Very good, very good.
[6:00] Yes, indeed we are talking about the letter V as the first
[6:06] letter. Beethoven's, yeah.
[6:08] It's the Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, and we did that very
[6:13] accurate. First four notes that which is
[6:18] the expression for the letter V in Morse code, which is also the
[6:23] number 5 in Roman numerals. The phrase that I was referring
[6:28] to, by the way, is called Victory Symphony because Winston
[6:31] Churchill. V for Victory?
[6:33] Started using exactly the phrase V for victory, and this piece of
[6:38] music came to signify victory. VV being the 5th letter Fifth
[6:43] Symphony. All right, Vineet, that brings
[6:47] us to our first question. Let's move back to you.
[6:51] Now since you asked me a musical question, I am going to do the
[6:56] same. The history of whaling in New
[7:00] Zealand stretches from the late 18th century to 1965.
[7:06] In 1831, the British born Weller brothers Edward, George and
[7:11] Joseph, who had immigrated to Sydney in 1829, founded a
[7:16] whaling station at Otaku near modern Junidad in the South
[7:22] Island of New Zealand. In 1931, New Zealand's Governor
[7:26] General Lord Bledisloe recalled how the Weller brothers had, on
[7:30] their voyage to New Zealand, brought in the Lucian, which was
[7:34] their ship, a good deal of rum and a good deal of gunpowder.
[7:39] From 1833 the Weller brothers sold provisions to Wellers in
[7:44] New Zealand. Their employees became known as
[7:48] X. The term X blew its way into the
[7:51] public consciousness in 2021. What is the term X and how do we
[7:56] know it? Very interesting.
[7:59] A term from wailing in New Zealand in the 19th century.
[8:06] Yes, is something that became prevalent during 2021.
[8:11] Yes, and I guarantee you, even though you may have not
[8:15] consciously noted this term, and I have heard that other people
[8:18] have misheard this term, you definitely know where this is
[8:22] coming from. OK, I'm completely lost right
[8:26] now, so I would love a clue. My first clue is what I said
[8:33] before I asked the question that since you asked me a musical
[8:36] question, I'm going to ask you a musical question.
[8:39] Oh, is it a sea shanty? OK, which one?
[8:43] I'm assuming Shanty. No, a sea shanty is basically
[8:47] one, like one of those songs that people sing on sea like
[8:51] they do in factories as well, so that they can be have a rhythm
[8:54] to a workflow, right. So there are multiple people
[8:57] working in chains, but that's a sea shanty.
[8:59] There are multiple sea shanties. I'm asking for one very specific
[9:04] one, which is I guarantee you, you know this particular sea
[9:08] shanty. You've heard it, you couldn't
[9:11] escape it at one point. I was living outside of India in
[9:16] 2021 and I believe 2021. I'm not sure when was the Tiktok
[9:19] ban, but I remember the sea shanty going viral on Instagram
[9:24] and Tiktok at some point. Yes, yes, that's the same.
[9:28] I know what you're talking. About.
[9:30] I just don't remember the name. Exactly.
[9:36] So you have got most of it's the Wellerman.
[9:39] So the Weller brothers and their employees were known as their
[9:43] employee would be known as a Wellerman.
[9:45] And do you know the song, the one that was made famous by
[9:50] Nathan Evans? There once was.
[9:57] OK, let me see. Let me see if I can get that.
[10:00] There once was a ship that put to see.
[10:03] The name of the ship was the Billy OT the winds blew up her
[10:06] bow. Dip down or blow my bully boys
[10:08] blow. Soon may the Weller men come to
[10:12] bring a sugar and tea and rum. One day when the tonguing is
[10:16] done, we'll take. I'll even go.
[10:19] So I've heard people mishear Wellerman for weatherman.
[10:23] So that's why I said you may have misheard it.
[10:25] You know it's your birthday. You should not be giving me the
[10:28] gift of your beautiful voice. Oh, thank you.
[10:32] Thank you. Oh, wow.
[10:34] That was. That was quite the performance.
[10:36] I love it. You have a future as a sea
[10:40] shanty singer. OK, so for our audience, a
[10:44] little background on this because this is a very rich
[10:46] history. New Zealand based music teacher
[10:49] and composer Neil Kalkun claimed to have collected the song
[10:54] around 1966 from one Mr. Fr. Woods, who was in his 80s at the
[11:00] time and had allegedly heard a song from his uncle in 1973.
[11:05] The song was included in Kalkun's Book of New Zealand
[11:08] Folk Songs. The song has been frequently
[11:10] performed and remixed with over 10 recorded renditions between
[11:14] 1971 and 2005. In 2013, the Wellington Sea
[11:20] Shanty Society. Yes, and that's an actual thing.
[11:23] The Wellington Sea Shanty Society released a version of
[11:25] their song on their album Now That's What I Call Sea Shanties
[11:29] Volume One. A particularly well known
[11:31] rendition of the song was made by a Bristol based acapella
[11:35] musical group. The Longest Johns on their
[11:37] collection of nautical songs, and a version by Scottish Museum
[11:40] musician Nathan Evans, further increase the song's exposure.
[11:44] It was popularized as a sea shanty, despite being more
[11:47] accurately described as a ballad.
[11:50] There was a surge in interest in sea shanties and numerous
[11:53] remixes and versions. People speculate the reason why
[11:56] Evans's version became so popular was that it's authentic
[12:01] sense of stoic forbearance has appealed to young people in
[12:05] lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, who like the 19th
[12:09] century whalers, are similarly marking time because of its
[12:13] origin on TikTok. The trend of performing such sea
[12:16] shanties on social media has been called Shantytalk.
[12:21] I got to hand it to you. That was a really fun question
[12:24] and made that much better by your performance.
[12:27] Wow. Any listeners please send us
[12:31] comments and seditions of other songs that we can perform.
[12:36] No. Make it in the form of a
[12:38] question. Actually, you know what little
[12:39] we need to do the work. Don't even make it in the form
[12:41] of a question. Just send him a DM on Instagram
[12:43] or an e-mail on our e-mail account and tell him I need
[12:47] trivia about this specific song. He'll find the trivia.
[12:50] We need the trivia hound. Don't worry about that part.
[12:56] All right? OK, after that, really cool
[12:58] performance, let's move on to the second question.
[13:02] By the way, we need any clue as to what the Kinect is.
[13:06] I'm guessing you want to spell out We need.
[13:08] Hey, wonderful. OK, great.
[13:10] So let's not pretend to keep that a mystery anymore.
[13:14] It is Vineet being spelled out. So the first question, the
[13:19] answer is going to start with the V So let's make this
[13:21] progressively tougher because he already knows the starting
[13:24] letter for all our subsequent questions.
[13:25] OK, so I'm assuming you have heard about the Society of
[13:30] Jesus, also known as the. Jesuits yes.
[13:34] Love. Yes, you do.
[13:36] OK, so Jesuits or the Society of Jesus was founded by a Spanish
[13:42] Catholic priest and theologian who, along with six companions
[13:47] founded this particular religious order.
[13:50] I need you to tell me what the name of this particular Spanish
[13:54] Catholic priest was, who was the founder of the Jesuits, and
[13:58] which very famous 90s movie character did he inspire?
[14:04] 90s movie character Yago the parrot from Aladdin.
[14:10] Well, that's a fun guess actually, because I was
[14:12] considering that character also as a source for inspiration.
[14:16] But no, that is not the character we have in question
[14:19] right now. And a little clarification, I
[14:21] said 90s. This movie actually came out in
[14:23] 1987. Oh, so the 80s, late 80s.
[14:27] Oh, I'm going to guess this is Iniho.
[14:32] As in Iniho Montoya, you killed my father.
[14:36] Prepare to die. That was too easy.
[14:39] Vineet is making short game of all of my questions, but I love
[14:43] that that's what Vineet is. In a no, no.
[14:46] The moment you said I and this 80s character, the only one I
[14:51] could think of was Inihr Montoya.
[14:54] Perfect Crack The Princess Bride is the 1987 film that had the
[14:59] very iconic character who repeated his name in the very
[15:03] iconic line. My name is Inigo Montoya.
[15:06] You killed my Father, Prepared to die.
[15:10] This, interestingly enough, was a character inspired by Ignatius
[15:15] of Loyola OK, who was born Inigo and eventually chose the more
[15:21] Latinized version of his name, Ignatius, because even though he
[15:26] was born in Spain, he moved towards Italy and those regions
[15:32] and hence thought that the name Ignatius would be easier.
[15:35] Inigo of Loyola. Ignatius of Loyola was the one
[15:39] who founded the Jesuits eventually, and I thought that
[15:43] was a little interesting piece of trivia right there.
[15:46] And I'm guessing Ignatius had nothing to do with the dead
[15:47] Pirate Roberts either. Nothing at all, but
[15:54] interestingly some very, I guess you can call it surrender
[15:57] vicious or maybe slightly exaggerated parallels between
[16:02] the two characters to people. Both Amigos are Spanish
[16:06] swordsmen who plays a lot of value on honour and at some
[16:11] point even wanted vengeance. So there's an anecdote about how
[16:15] Ignatius Loyola also wanted vengeance at some point in his
[16:18] youth. So yeah, a little interesting
[16:22] piece of history that I thought was worthy of your birthday
[16:26] special. All right.
[16:27] Let's move on to your question. OK.
[16:31] I seem to have a lot of music questions.
[16:34] Afreen Afreen, have you heard the song?
[16:37] Yeah. Afreen Afreen.
[16:38] Yes. OK, great.
[16:40] Afreen Afreen was first performed in 1996 by Nusrat
[16:44] Fateh Ali Khan and it was later covered by Rahat Fateh Ali Khan
[16:48] and Momina Mustassein are in 2016 on Coke Studio, the
[16:53] Pakistani version. It is currently the 10th most
[16:57] watched YouTube video of Pakistani origin and the song
[17:00] describes the beauty of a woman and in the lyrics her body is
[17:05] compared to many things, including fragrant moonlight and
[17:09] the first rays of the sun, amongst many, many others.
[17:12] It's a huge list of refrains. In particular, the lyrics
[17:16] compare her beauty to statues at a particular UNESCO heritage
[17:20] site. Which one?
[17:23] And how can you tell me how that ended up in a song that is so
[17:29] strictly identified as Pakistani?
[17:31] So the statue that the beauty is being compared to is not a
[17:36] Pakistani statue. Yes, that's my first and
[17:40] practically only clue. First thing that comes to mind
[17:43] is Statue of Liberty. No, that would be a little
[17:47] difficult to push into an Urdu song.
[17:51] Yeah, I don't know. And many or the words that rhyme
[17:53] with the Statue of Liberty. Wow, what statue?
[17:59] And I'm trying to think of shows, I guess how male
[18:04] dominated the world is because I'm trying to think of fem
[18:07] female statues, famous female statues and not a.
[18:10] Lot. This wouldn't be my clue to you,
[18:13] would be this. It's not one particular statue.
[18:17] It's like a lot of statues in a particular place, which is a
[18:21] UNESCO heritage site. Oh, so it's like saying her body
[18:26] is like a statue from this place?
[18:30] The Terracotta Army. No, no, no.
[18:33] Those, I think are predominantly male, so that will be a little
[18:36] weird. Right.
[18:37] Yeah. OK.
[18:38] Bunch of statues in one place. Is it some museum or a gallery
[18:42] that we're talking about? No.
[18:45] I'm so confused. I have no clue right now at all.
[18:48] OK, so I'll I'll give you a clue.
[18:49] The reason, I think at least, that this particular reference
[18:52] made its way into the song is because the person who wrote the
[18:56] song was Indian. Hold on.
[18:58] So in India? Oh, right.
[19:01] Is it a temple? No, not a temple, but you are
[19:05] somewhere in the right. Oh, is it like a engraving on
[19:11] stone? Is it some cave or something?
[19:14] Closer. Closer.
[19:15] Very close. Very close.
[19:16] Is it a janta right? Yes, the Ajanta and Elora caves.
[19:21] So the lyric goes Jisma jaise ajanta Ki Murat koi, which
[19:26] literally means her body is like a statue of the Ajanta caves.
[19:30] Do you know who wrote the song? No, I have no clue.
[19:33] Javed Akhtar. Of course.
[19:36] The Javed Javed Akhtar had collaborated with Nusrat Fateh
[19:39] Ali Khan in the 90s and this was one of the songs that had come
[19:43] out of that beautiful, beautiful song.
[19:47] If you've not heard it, please go online and listen to it.
[19:49] It's just an amazing song. The poetry of Javed Akhtar
[19:52] really comes out in this particular one.
[19:54] I just want, for the sake of our audience, just a few examples of
[19:58] what he's compared her body to, right?
[20:01] The statue of Ajanta caves like a spell on the eyes.
[20:04] Like a beautiful song. Like a tilting rhythm.
[20:07] Like fragrant moonlight, Like a blossoming garden.
[20:11] Like the first rays of the sun. Like fragrant sandalwood.
[20:15] Like white marble. Her face is the like the life of
[20:19] a Herzl faces, like a Lotus flower.
[20:22] The pure poetry in this is just amazing.
[20:24] It's a little difficult, especially if you don't speak
[20:26] Urdu. To understand it, you'll have to
[20:28] do what I did and go check out an English translation.
[20:31] But damn, the man can write. I mean, sure, those are great
[20:35] comparisons, but did he compare her to the Terracotta Army?
[20:39] Because no, I don't think I would be truly impressed.
[20:42] Yes, yes, basically. I think every woman loves to be
[20:45] compared to to have her beauty compared to that of a dusty old
[20:50] group of men who've been underground.
[20:52] For the past 2000 years. If anything it I think it is
[20:58] representative of struggle that a lot of women go through where
[21:02] for thousands of years they were just ignored and OK now, now.
[21:08] You're just digging yourself out of that hole.
[21:12] All right. Yeah, I am going to stop myself
[21:15] right there. But I that is a fun little
[21:18] question. Nice.
[21:19] I have obviously heard the song so many times before and it
[21:24] probably was at the back of my head, but never quite realized
[21:27] why. And that's a lovely connection.
[21:29] OK, great. The agent I, Laura caves in.
[21:32] Afreen. Afreen.
[21:34] All right. So from that fundamental
[21:37] question, let's move on to the world of sports.
[21:42] Now, this particular question is about baseball.
[21:45] And I'm assuming in general, since you don't follow sports
[21:49] too much, and baseball is already such a nice sport that
[21:52] not a lot of Indians at least follow, I imagine your baseball
[21:56] trivia is not exactly. Nope, you would be right.
[22:02] OK, unbridled. All right, so let us try and
[22:06] help you along in this particular baseball player.
[22:10] His name is Adrian Baltrey. I want to assume that's how the
[22:15] last name is, is pronounced BELTRE Adrian Baltrey.
[22:20] Beltrey is a Dominican former professional baseball third
[22:25] baseman. He played for LA Dodgers,
[22:28] Seattle Mariners, Boston Red Sox, Texas Rangers in the Major
[22:33] League Baseball in the US and he's regarded as one of the
[22:36] greatest third baseman of all time.
[22:40] He made a decision very early on in his career not to wear a
[22:46] protective cup near your groin despite playing third base, and
[22:51] that has been very well documented.
[22:53] This came back to hurt him on August 12th, 2009 when he took a
[22:58] hard ground ball to the groin. Although he stayed in for the
[23:02] remainder of the 14 inning victory, he was eventually sent
[23:07] to the hospital because there was bleeding in one of his
[23:09] testicles and you can imagine needed a lot of time to recover
[23:14] from that. When he eventually came back,
[23:18] his teammate Ken Griffey Junior conspired with those responsible
[23:24] for the public address system in that field to have Baldre's at
[23:30] bat intro music to be a specific piece of music.
[23:35] Which piece of music did Ken Griffey Junior a teammate of
[23:41] Baldre's play when Baldre came back from his injury?
[23:46] Wow, that took a left turn. That question took a definite
[23:49] left turn. What piece of music would he
[23:54] have played? Obviously their teammates.
[23:58] It will be a practical joke of some kind, so I'm guessing the
[24:01] song has some reference to balls or testicles or something like
[24:05] that. You are absolutely right in
[24:08] assuming how juvenile this question and my sense of humor
[24:10] is. OK, I cannot think of anything
[24:16] right now. Is the song title that's
[24:18] beginning with N or does the song begin with an N?
[24:22] OK, so I'll help you a little bit over here.
[24:24] This song, the name itself might not be very familiar to you, but
[24:30] I would have taken the name of the musical that it is part of.
[24:36] So it is the opening March from this particular classic.
[24:43] Particular classic musical starting with an N.
[24:49] Music might be a little bit of a stretch.
[24:53] OK. Yeah.
[24:54] Is it like a musical in an Indian sense?
[24:56] Like any kind of music is part of no.
[24:59] No. OK.
[24:59] No. So it's like a musical in their
[25:01] sense where they actually have dancing and things like that.
[25:06] A Broadway show, yeah. A Broadway show starting with
[25:10] the letter N This is not easy, at least I can't remember of
[25:15] Broadway. Shows and remember the context
[25:19] of this whole question to begin with.
[25:22] Baseball balls, basically. Yeah, OK.
[25:26] Glad that. Should, because when you said
[25:29] opening March, for a second I thought they might have taken
[25:31] the music from the Star Wars spoof film called Space Balls.
[25:35] But wow, I'm not just not getting the connect.
[25:40] Any other clue of? Course, there's more to help you
[25:43] along. Apart from this performance, the
[25:48] other theater pieces that have come by the same artist include
[25:53] The Sleeping Beauty and Swan Lake.
[25:57] Oh, I know this, this is Tchaikovsky is The Nutcracker.
[26:03] The Nutcracker it is. That is the piece of music that
[26:07] was played when Adrian Baltrey came back because he had, well,
[26:13] really injured his groin let's. This is The Nutcracker Suite.
[26:18] The Nutcracker Suite The Nutcracker is a Night is an 1892
[26:24] classical ballet. So when I said musical, that was
[26:28] a bit of a stretch, but I didn't want to make it too easy for me,
[26:31] so I will pardon myself that fault.
[26:35] He didn't voltre when injured in his groin.
[26:39] Once he came back his team mate Ken Griffey Junior, we had the
[26:43] opening Marshall, The Nutcracker Suite.
[26:46] We played as Voltage at Bat intro music, which I thought was
[26:50] hilarious. It is hilarious, something that
[26:53] very juvenile, very male sense of humor I would say.
[26:57] Yeah. Absolutely.
[26:59] I wonder if there's a video of that.
[27:00] I should dig it up. OK, so my question to you is a
[27:05] little far away from the green fields of baseball.
[27:09] In recent times, there's been a significant amount of criticism
[27:13] and opposition directed towards X.
[27:15] Many individuals attribute various health related issues,
[27:19] including heart attacks, depression, workplace injuries,
[27:22] and traffic accidents to the practice of X.
[27:25] Experts have suggested that this may be due to the disruption of
[27:29] the body's natural circadian rhythm.
[27:32] I want you to identify what X is, which is something that does
[27:37] not apply to individuals living in India currently, but has a
[27:42] substantial impact on people residing in other parts of the
[27:44] world. We speak of daylight savings
[27:47] time. Don't even need.
[27:50] That was fast. That was very fast.
[27:53] But yes, it is. It was daylight savings time.
[27:56] And do you know why? I specifically mentioned that it
[28:00] does not apply to individuals living in India currently.
[28:03] Oh, don't tell me that they're planning to bring it in.
[28:06] No, India actually did observe a daylight savings time for a few
[28:10] short years. So just some background for our
[28:17] audience. The practicing of advancing
[28:19] clocks typically by one hour so that the darkness follows at a
[28:23] later clock time. It's called Daylight Savings
[28:26] time. The typical implementation of
[28:29] daylight savings time is to set clock forward by one hour in
[28:32] either the late winter or spring, and set clocks back by
[28:36] one hour in the fall or autumn to return to Standard Time.
[28:40] The idea of aligning waking hours to daylight hours to
[28:43] conserve candles was first conceptualized in 1784 by Do You
[28:49] Know Who? Benjamin Franklin.
[28:51] Yes, by Benjamin Franklin. But however, it was in a
[28:54] satirical letter to the editor of the Journal of Paris where he
[28:58] suggested that waking up earlier in the summer would economize on
[29:02] candle usage and calculated considerable savings.
[29:06] Currently, many countries, most famously the US, does use
[29:09] daylight savings time. India observed Daylight Savings
[29:13] time only for a short period between 1941 and 1945 during
[29:19] World War 2. Cool.
[29:21] I didn't know of this trivia, obviously, because I think I've
[29:26] watched the daylight savings video very recently.
[29:30] We might have watched the same one.
[29:33] Maybe as soon as you mentioned the health effects and stuff, I
[29:35] was like, OK, don't worry, you're going with this.
[29:38] OK, so keeping in mind that we don't have all the time in the
[29:41] world, I'm going to combine the next two letters in minit's name
[29:45] into a single question and those are the letters E But I'm not
[29:49] being lazy. All I'm doing is in this case,
[29:52] both the letters E have to appear in the answer somewhere.
[29:57] OK, so the two letters consecutively EE have to appear
[30:00] in the answer somewhere. All right, so tell me Vineet if
[30:04] you know. There has been a day long
[30:08] festival that has been taking place in Austin, TX in the
[30:12] United States of America since 1963.
[30:16] It typically occurs on the last Saturday of April in Austin's
[30:21] Peas District Park. It includes live music, food and
[30:25] drink which benefit local nonprofit organizations.
[30:29] And that is the situation today after many years.
[30:33] Initially it used to be a very small, informal sort of
[30:36] gathering of people back in 1963 when it started.
[30:39] The event is frequented by children and families with
[30:43] specific events presented for them by the event organizers.
[30:46] Right. So it's a day long festival held
[30:48] in Austin, TX. It started in 1963, happens in a
[30:52] park, used to be a very small group of people initially and
[30:56] has now become a full-fledged thing that happens with children
[30:59] and families attending. Can you tell me which character
[31:04] is this festival meant to honor? Which fictional character is
[31:08] this festival meant to honor? Speedy Gonzalez.
[31:12] No. Wow, can you hit the salient
[31:14] points again? Just so that I can conceptualize
[31:19] what does the answer might be. A lot of it was descriptors
[31:23] about the festival, which won't really guide you to the answer.
[31:26] So I'm just going to tell you what is important.
[31:28] It is a day long festival. It is held in Austin, TX.
[31:32] Started in 1963. It actually started.
[31:35] Let me give you some additional information, actually in six In
[31:38] 1963 when it started, it was supposed to be a spring party
[31:43] and picnic before the beginning of revision week by students at
[31:48] the University of Texas at Austin.
[31:50] So these students, they got together right before the
[31:53] revision week or the intense week of preparation before exams
[31:57] come around to have a spring party and picnic.
[32:00] In 1963, the pretext was as a celebration for this fictional
[32:05] character. This fictional character you
[32:08] might not typically associate with college students.
[32:11] You would associate with much younger people, much younger
[32:15] kids. Tweety bird.
[32:17] No. Younger characters, younger
[32:20] children, revision week, college students.
[32:23] Is it an animated character or is it a like a literature
[32:28] literary character? It it exists across various
[32:31] media. You know.
[32:34] Evil. Evil.
[32:35] Man. OK, so Wiley Coyote.
[32:38] No. All right.
[32:39] Let me give you some. Hopefully this will help you
[32:42] along. The reason that they gave for
[32:44] this festival is because this character thought that his
[32:49] friends had forgotten his birthday eventually.
[32:52] Turns out that his friends had planned a surprise birthday
[32:56] party, so they celebrated as this character's birthday party.
[33:00] OK, we are of course talking about a character beloved to
[33:04] children, so it is in that realm of media and entertainment.
[33:10] Another hint that I will give you is that the name of this
[33:13] character happens to be oh Jesus, I don't know how to
[33:17] pronounce this word. I always struggle with it.
[33:20] And onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia, OK?
[33:24] Onomatopoeia Onomatopoeia. All right, let's.
[33:28] Let's just assume what we know what it is.
[33:30] That's it. Basically a sound, a word that
[33:32] describes something, and it's similar to what it sounds,
[33:35] right? Well, you explained it for any
[33:37] audience member who did not understand what I was mumbling.
[33:40] Yes, it is the word which describes the sound associated
[33:45] with usually an animal. It could be other things.
[33:49] The thing that really throwing me off is from it's from the 60s
[33:53] and you are expecting for us to remember the fact that there was
[33:58] a plot point where this person's birthday was forgotten.
[34:01] So that's what's really throwing me off.
[34:05] Somebody really remember that I just was giving you maybe a
[34:09] little bit of a hint as to what world it belongs to, what world
[34:12] this character belongs to. And also to clarify, this
[34:16] festival started in the 60s but the character is a few decades
[34:20] older. You know what?
[34:22] I'm going to make it even easier for you.
[34:25] The two ES are the 1st 2 letters of the name.
[34:28] You know, the only thing that's coming to my mind right now is
[34:30] EE Cummings, the author. All right, one last clue, one
[34:36] last. Clue.
[34:37] Yeah, yeah, before I throw in the towel.
[34:39] This character is considered by many, at least today, to be
[34:45] suffering from depression and OH.
[34:48] OK, I know this. I know this.
[34:51] This is ER, from the Winnie the Pooh series.
[34:58] Absolutely. Yes, you got it.
[35:00] Yeah, it is ER, the donkey from Winnie the Pooh series who many
[35:08] perhaps are rightly assessed as being depressed or has having
[35:12] suffered depression during the course of the books and a rather
[35:17] positive portrayal of how somebody, while suffering from
[35:21] depression, is still functional and kind of takes the stigma out
[35:24] of depression, which is lovely. Yours birthday party is what is
[35:28] celebrated in Austin, TX today. It's a day long festival and it
[35:34] so happens that the canonical birthday for the character year
[35:39] happens on a completely different day.
[35:41] But for some reason the students of University of Texas at Austin
[35:45] decided that they want to celebrate it during spring right
[35:49] before their exam week and I think that's kind of cute.
[35:52] So today it has become a full-fledged festival where
[35:54] children and families come and get to enjoy a bunch of
[35:58] organized events and stuff Your by the way, in the storyline
[36:02] that I mentioned is sad that he thinks when he realizes that his
[36:06] friends have forgotten his birthday, and yet in typical ER
[36:09] fashion doesn't do anything about it.
[36:11] Only to realize at the end of the story that his friends
[36:14] actually remembered and they did secretly organize a birthday
[36:18] party for him. Very nice.
[36:19] Very unexpected because we do find a lot of Winnie the Pooh
[36:24] references, Tigger references, but ER, references are not that
[36:27] common. So kudos to you.
[36:29] Kudos to you. Yeah, lovely piece of trivia for
[36:34] the two ES in your name. All right, Vineet, let's go with
[36:36] your question. OK, my question is as follows.
[36:40] The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment, grace for short, was
[36:46] a joint mission of NASA and the German Aerospace Center.
[36:50] Twin satellites took detailed measurements of the Earth's
[36:54] gravity field anomalies from its launch in March 2002 to the end
[37:00] of its science mission in October 2017.
[37:03] The 2 grey satellites GRACE ONE and GRACE Two were launched from
[37:07] the Plesetsk Cosmodrome in Russia on 17th March 2002.
[37:14] The spacecraft were launched at an initial altitude of
[37:17] approximately 500 kilometers at a near polar inclination of 89°.
[37:23] During normal operations, the satellites were in endless
[37:26] pursuit of each other, always being separated by 220
[37:31] kilometers along their orbit track.
[37:33] What nickname was given to these two satellites?
[37:37] Jack and Jill. No, you have the right idea, but
[37:41] not the not actually the right idea.
[37:43] But actually I nobody even close.
[37:45] I'm sorry. Well, you just dangled it in
[37:50] front of me and then smashed it away.
[37:53] There is a clue in my question, so maybe if you can think back
[37:56] to the question and try to ponder.
[37:58] Did you mention something about the movement type?
[38:02] Can you describe that part again?
[38:05] Yes. OK.
[38:05] So during normal operations, the satellites were in endless
[38:09] pursuit of each other, always being separated by 220
[38:12] kilometers along their orbit track.
[38:15] OK. Always in pursuit of each other.
[38:19] So I'm thinking classic cartoons like Tom and Jerry or Roadrunner
[38:25] and Wiley Coyote. You already got it.
[38:28] It's Tom and Jerry. OK, nice.
[38:32] OK. So they call these two
[38:34] satellites Grace one Tom and GRACE 2 Jerry Big.
[38:38] And what is really sweet is that in 2018 the collaboration
[38:42] between NASA and the German Aerospace Center gave birth to
[38:45] two more satellites as part of the new Grace FO mission, which
[38:50] was the gravity recovery and Climate experiments Follow on,
[38:53] which was the successor to the 2002 GRACE mission.
[38:56] These again had two satellites, and they were also nicknamed Tom
[39:01] and Jerry. Very cute.
[39:03] All right, let's move on from that very lovely question.
[39:07] Actually, a little throwback to childhood, just like we need the
[39:11] pool was. I'm loving this episode so much.
[39:14] OK, This one, I guess, should also be, well, throwback in some
[39:19] way, shape or form. As most of our questions, as
[39:23] most of my questions today for Vineet have been in the space of
[39:26] entertainment. I'm going to continue with that
[39:27] trend, and I'm going to talk about a sportsman who turned
[39:32] into an actor. This particular sportsman was an
[39:36] American Olympic swimmer, a water polo player, and later on
[39:41] in life, an actor. As an actor, he played a very
[39:46] iconic character in 12 feature films.
[39:49] There is a piece of trivia associated with him and this
[39:54] character. Legend has it that during the
[39:57] Cuban Revolution he was in Cuba, and when surrounded by rebels
[40:04] who realized that he was American, he did something
[40:08] iconic associated with this character, and they chose not
[40:14] to. Bring him to any harm because
[40:17] they recognized him as that iconic character and instead
[40:20] took him to safety. Those rebels themselves.
[40:23] You are smiling rather broadly. I'm already regretting giving
[40:27] away too much information, but beneath you have an answer for
[40:31] me. To be fair and flex coming up, I
[40:34] would have gotten this even if you hadn't told me about the T
[40:37] thing. So this is Johnny Wisemuller,
[40:40] who played Tarzan famously in the 30s and 40s at McNulty.
[40:45] Very quick crack. Oh my God, I know you knew the
[40:48] 1st letter, but even the fact that you know Johnny
[40:51] Wisemuller's full name, I thought you would just get
[40:54] Tarzan. But you got the actor's name and
[40:58] I am very impressed. Yes, Johnny Wisemuller.
[41:02] I'm guessing he did the Tarzan yell when confronted by Cuban
[41:06] revolutionaries, but if I remember correctly, they also
[41:10] yeah, they had kind of synthesize that yell from like
[41:14] multiple animal sounds, right? Or was that a later Tarzan?
[41:18] No. In this case, I believe they
[41:21] used the yell that he himself had recorded, except they
[41:26] manipulated it slightly and played it in reverse.
[41:30] Oh, OK. OK.
[41:31] Yeah, he originated the famous yell and it was created by sound
[41:36] recordist Douglas Shearer. Chuck Shearer used Weissmiller's
[41:41] normal yell and then manipulated it and played it in reverse.
[41:45] That's how the yell came to be. And you're right, he did use the
[41:49] yell when confronted by the rebels during the Cuban
[41:52] Revolution. And those rebels immediately
[41:55] recognized him as Tarzan and took him to safety because they
[42:01] loved the character. I guess he was a 1924 Olympics
[42:07] swimmer as well as a 1928 Olympic swimmer, which I thought
[42:11] was really cool. I had no idea.
[42:13] Turns out in a little history repeating itself moment when the
[42:19] producer Jerry Weintraub was talking about the new Tarzan, he
[42:25] mentioned that he was angling to get Michael Phelps to play the
[42:30] role and then decided last minute not to go ahead with it
[42:34] because he saw him in some commercial and realized that, oh
[42:37] OK, never mind. I don't think Michael Phelps.
[42:40] Yeah. He's very good and he's very
[42:41] good. And eventually the role went to
[42:45] Alexander Skarsgard instead of Michael Phelps.
[42:48] That would have been an interesting movie.
[42:50] Not that I'm saying Michael Phelps is a great actor, but I
[42:53] can't do that. It would have been fun to see
[42:54] him act in Tarzan film. I think, if I remember
[42:58] correctly, I think Johnny Wisemuller was selected because
[43:02] of the fact that he was a swimmer.
[43:04] He had a swimmer's physique, the very wide, broad shoulders, you
[43:07] know, huge, that V shape with a narrow waist.
[43:11] I think they wanted that particular aesthetic for the
[43:15] Tarzan cereals. Yeah, probably.
[43:17] OK. So because we are running short
[43:20] of time, I am going to skip ahead to the last question of
[43:24] today's Vineet special. And so far we have gotten VINWT.
[43:31] And obviously the last answer is going to start with the letter H
[43:36] OK. Since we spoke about famous
[43:39] fictional characters, let's do one more of those questions.
[43:42] All right. So for this question, I'm going
[43:44] to describe the plot that this character was involved in and
[43:47] you tell me which character am I talking about?
[43:50] This pilot crashed and was attacked and killed by a group
[43:54] of Native Americans. Many years later, his skeleton
[43:59] was discovered by another prominent character, the
[44:02] original character. The character in question, let's
[44:05] call him X, XS partner was also in the crash, however did not
[44:10] die. He instead became mythologized
[44:13] in some way. Which very iconic character am I
[44:17] talking about? So where the mythologized
[44:21] character is the dead pilot's partner?
[44:24] Yeah, all right, I'm just going to make things slightly simpler.
[44:27] So the dead pilot, that character is X, the dead pilot's
[44:32] partner who became mythologized and did not die in the crash is
[44:36] why X's skeleton was discovered many years later by Zed.
[44:42] So XY and Zed X is the character in question, but Y&Z should
[44:47] hopefully help you along as well.
[44:49] It sounds weirdly familiar, but then I'm not able to.
[44:53] For a second I was thinking of Skull Island and King Kong and
[44:56] things like that, but that's not the case.
[45:00] You might not have read this particular story.
[45:03] Oh, well, OK. Let me make it actually clearer.
[45:05] It's a comic book, so you might not have read this particular
[45:08] comic book. However, you definitely know
[45:10] these characters. Whoa, comic.
[45:13] Books that I have not read. Not that I'm a huge comic geek
[45:17] or anything like that, but I have read a few comics in my
[45:20] team. This just pilot crashes, dies
[45:24] eaten by natives. But just to be fair, even if you
[45:28] do know Superman, you've not read every single Superman comic
[45:31] and hence you would not know every single Superman plot line.
[45:34] So. But then this is OK.
[45:36] This is just one power plot line.
[45:37] This is not like the origin story plot line or something
[45:39] like that. No, no, this isn't the origin
[45:41] story plot line. This is a famous plot line for a
[45:45] specific reason. You might not have read it.
[45:48] Oh, OK all. Right.
[45:49] Let me tell you what the reason is.
[45:50] Also, it is the first time that X&Z ever appeared together.
[45:55] So X&Z belong to two different franchise.
[45:58] It is the first time X&Z appear together.
[46:01] And in some ways Zed was a reincarnation of X, you could
[46:07] call it that. I use that word very loosely,
[46:09] but maybe. OK, so I'm I'm guessing then
[46:13] that X is an older character and Z is a more newer, more familiar
[46:18] character who was based off on some way on X?
[46:22] No. No, I'm going to stop you there.
[46:24] Z was not based off of X, and both X&Z are very famous in and
[46:29] of themselves and they are very separate characters.
[46:32] All right, let me give you one last hint.
[46:34] Which? I'm just puzzled, yeah.
[46:36] X&Z are played by the same actor, which is why I called
[46:39] him, well, a reincarnation. They are completely unrelated.
[46:44] They're just played by the same actor.
[46:47] What? Daredevil and Batman were played
[46:51] by the same actor? Who else?
[46:53] OK, let me let me let me stop it at that.
[46:55] Both of these characters are not originally comic book character.
[47:00] They're literally characters, I'm guessing.
[47:02] Not necessarily. That is, they are also both
[47:05] created by the same person. This is just evil.
[47:11] Evil created by the same person. Y was mythologized and we are
[47:16] not even talking by Y, but X&Z were played by the same actor.
[47:21] Played by the same actor, created by the same person.
[47:25] Both are not initially or originally comic book
[47:29] characters, even though there have been multiple comic books
[47:31] based off of both of them. Both belong to separate
[47:35] universes and franchises. This was the only plot line, the
[47:37] one I described about the crash landing, the only plot line in
[47:41] which. They kind of crossed over.
[47:44] They crossed over. I'm, I'm guessing
[47:46] chronologically then why? Zed is obviously a later
[47:49] character, right? Chronologically.
[47:51] Zed first came to being in the 80s and X was in the 70s.
[48:00] Deadpool and Green Lantern? No, they're not created by the
[48:03] same people. Deadpool was robbed, Liefeld and
[48:06] I don't think he was. He was too.
[48:07] He was in the 90s. So wow, same actor.
[48:11] I'm I'm racking my brain to think of actors who played more
[48:14] than one kind of fictional character who could be portrayed
[48:18] in comics. But you said they are not
[48:19] originally from comics either. Let me be as let me go as far as
[48:24] saying that these two characters are what you remember this actor
[48:28] for a very. You evil man.
[48:31] Wild guess. OK, is this Indiana Jones dying
[48:37] in a plane crash and being eaten by cannibals and then this being
[48:40] discovered by Han Solo? Han Solo is a pilot.
[48:44] Han Solo crashed, displayed. Oh, OK Diana.
[48:47] Jones OK, Yeah, because it happens in a Galaxy far, far
[48:52] away. A long, long time ago.
[48:53] No Galaxy far, far away. OK?
[48:55] OK. And both Han Solo and Chewbacca
[48:59] got into some hyperspace. Kind of thingamaji during this
[49:06] plot line and they ended up on Earth where the crash landed.
[49:10] This instantly killed the character Han Solo.
[49:14] Chewbacca however escaped and became mythologized as
[49:17] Sasquatch. When Indiana Jones, many years
[49:21] later, is searching for the Sasquatch, he comes across the
[49:25] bones of Han Solo and Etch or Han Solo is what I was going
[49:30] for, I think, which we completely.
[49:33] Lost. That was a nice question.
[49:35] That was a very nice question. I would not have guessed that.
[49:39] Wow. I did not know that there was an
[49:41] Indiana Jones Han Solo crossover.
[49:44] I was blown away and I think it's a sounds like a really cool
[49:47] plot line. I don't know how great the comic
[49:49] actually is, but obviously it is a non Canon comic.
[49:54] So this isn't part of Canon for either Indiana Jones or Han
[49:57] Solo, but it is something that is out there in the world.
[50:02] The name of the comic, by the way, is Into the Great Unknown.
[50:06] Into the great unknown. Have you heard of this movie?
[50:08] The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the Bigfoot.
[50:11] I have not heard of this movie, no.
[50:14] Yeah, it's not a completely mainstream film, but it's a
[50:17] fantastic in a movie set in the 80s starring Sam Elliott and his
[50:22] glorious mustache. He stars as a man who's actually
[50:26] had killed Hitler and now is on the hunt for Bigfoot.
[50:30] Sounds very weird, but it's a very nice movie.
[50:33] It's very weird, but it's a very nice movie.
[50:36] Cool, I'll check it out. Is that your recommendation for
[50:38] the week? I guess it is, yes.
[50:40] I would put that as a recommendation for this week
[50:42] because that's a fantastic movie.
[50:44] Not many people have heard of it or seen it, but basically I
[50:47] could just watch Sam Elliott painting a Fence Little Tom
[50:53] Sawyer reference there. Yeah, that was very cool.
[50:57] All right, read. That brings me to the end of my
[51:00] questions and I assume the end of the episode.
[51:03] Happy birthday once again. Thank you.
[51:07] OK, so what's your question for this week?
[51:10] What are you? Going to.
[51:11] What? How are you going to inflict
[51:13] pain on our audience? I must.
[51:19] I must. So you mentioned the two
[51:21] satellites and how they're called Tom and Jerry.
[51:25] But what if these two satellites were launched by India?
[51:28] What would they have been called instead?
[51:30] That is the question I'm going to ask, and you'll find out the
[51:33] answer next week. Yes, Let me just say we are
[51:36] looking forward to it. So Aditya, I had asked a
[51:42] question at the beginning of today's episode, right.
[51:45] So the question was just like Jason Derülo and Pitbull, who
[51:49] frequently scream their names during their performances.
[51:52] Jamaican rapper Sean Paul has done the same during his musical
[51:55] career. During his performances, he
[51:57] often begins and Peppers songs with the phrase Sean De Paul
[52:01] seeming to psych him, seemingly to psych himself up before the
[52:04] rest of the lyrics. Recently in an interview, he
[52:07] said that he actually is not saying his own name, it's a
[52:11] shout out to somebody else. Can you?
[52:13] Do you know who is talking about and what the fun guy is here?
[52:17] I'm so glad you brought this question up.
[52:20] Oh well, I guess I can say I'm not very glad because it was
[52:22] part of my future bang of questions, so otherwise I would
[52:27] not have known this answer. It is really cool.
[52:30] I think it is the West Indian cricketer Shivnarayan Chandrapal
[52:35] that he is trying to reference, apparently, and that made no
[52:40] sense to me. But yeah, because the remit came
[52:45] up recently and that's why it was up on my social media
[52:48] somewhere. And I love the trivia chander,
[52:51] Paul, yeah. The funny thing is, a fan a few
[52:55] years ago, four or five years ago apparently had tweeted that
[52:58] whenever Sean does the Sean De Paul on his songs that it kind
[53:03] of sounds like Chander Paul in a Jamaican accent.
[53:07] So the fan had put a tweet out there, but nobody paid too much
[53:09] attention to it until a few years later when he's like, no,
[53:12] I'm not talking about my own name.
[53:14] There's a Guyanese cricketer who plays for the West Indian
[53:17] cricket team by the name of Shiv Narayan Chandrapal who is of
[53:21] Indian ethnicity way back when. Hence the name Shiv Narayan
[53:25] Chandrapal or in Indian pronunciation will be Shiv
[53:29] Narayan Chandrapal. But when?
[53:32] Jamaica. I'm not even sure what accent
[53:34] that is. I don't know Shivnarayan,
[53:37] Chandepaul. Why am I saying the name again
[53:39] and again? Sean DePaul sounds so much
[53:41] better. Yeah, it does.
[53:45] All right. Very cool.
[53:46] So I've already given my popular pop culture recommendation for
[53:49] this week, which was The Man Who Killed Hitler and then the
[53:53] Bigfoot. All right, so for my
[53:55] recommendation, since we spoke about Star Wars Indiana Jones,
[53:58] I'm going to recommend a Star Wars Canon film.
[54:02] It was a 2016 film, Rogue One, A Star Wars Story.
[54:05] So it was an independent film. It wasn't part of the three
[54:08] trilogies, but it is part of Star Wars Canon.
[54:11] And I thought it did what a good Star Wars film should do without
[54:16] doing too much of it, which has been kind of the problems with
[54:20] the recent trilogies. And I was pleasantly surprised.
[54:25] I thought that was a good film, 2016 film.
[54:28] You also said something about a man from a man who killed
[54:33] Bigfoot. The man who killed Hitler and
[54:36] then the Bigfoot. Man Who Killed Hitler and then
[54:39] Bigfoot. So for some reason that I also
[54:41] associated that to one of my favorite films, The Man from
[54:44] Earth. Oh, I was literally just
[54:48] thinking of that. I was like, I should mention the
[54:50] Man from Earth when he finishes talking about this.
[54:54] Oh Oh my God. That.
[54:55] That's just like, wow. I'm I'm glad we are synced up,
[55:00] Yeah. The Man from Earth is a
[55:01] phenomenal film. One of those films, one of those
[55:05] films which does not need to rely upon any fancy gimmicks and
[55:10] still blows your mind. It's a science fiction film to
[55:13] make it clearer, and I won't want to give away too much, but,
[55:18] and this isn't a spoiler because it happens in the beginning of
[55:20] the film, a character claims that he has been alive for 10s
[55:26] of thousands of years and the rest of the film is what
[55:29] follows. So absolutely check it out if
[55:31] that sounds like something you'd be interested in.
[55:34] There isn't anything fancy, there is no great CGI, there are
[55:37] no green screens, and sometimes the cinematography kind of sucks
[55:42] also, but the film does not seem any lesser for that.
[55:47] It is in fact a great film. So yes, those are my two film
[55:50] recommendations. Rogue One, A Star Wars Story and
[55:53] The Man From Earth. And if you and if you liked, and
[55:57] if you watch Rogue One, which is again as I mentioned, a
[56:00] fantastic film, far better than some of the recent Star Wars
[56:03] movie fare that we've been exposed to, I would also
[56:05] recommend a Star Wars series which is linked to this called
[56:10] Andor, which is also quite tense and it links directly into Rogue
[56:15] One. So that's also a fantastic show.
[56:18] Yeah, check it out. OK, so that's all for this
[56:22] episode. Thank you Aditya for this
