Join us as we dive deep into 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,440 history, science, pop culture and so much more. 5 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:20,120 Let's get quizzing and we're back, ladies and gentlemen, for 6 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:24,800 Episode #62 of Your Favorite Quizzing and Trivia podcast 7 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,320 show. Are you quizzing me, Aditya and 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,400 are back for another round of quizzing? 9 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,920 Let's start off today's episode with the audience question, 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,400 which I will answer at the end of today's episode. 11 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:43,760 So X is the dish that is invented in Canada by a Greek 12 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,920 immigrant who was inspired by Chinese food to put a South 13 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,080 American ingredient on an Italian dish that is now most 14 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,480 popular in Australia. Let me repeat that for you. 15 00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:00,200 This dish was invented in Canada by a Greek immigrant who was 16 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,920 inspired by Chinese food to put a South American ingredient on 17 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,360 an Italian dish that is now most popular in Australia. 18 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,320 However, this is not named after any of these places. 19 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:16,160 What dish am I talking about? I will reveal the answer at the 20 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,960 end of today's episode. Now, as to the question that 21 00:01:19,960 --> 00:01:23,560 Aditya had asked last week, let me hand over the baton to 22 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,760 Aditya. Beneath I asked last week which 23 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:33,440 movie has been named after food accidentally. 24 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:41,080 Just like Dabangg, the Bollywood hit was somehow also the name 25 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,640 for Korean coffee and tea shops. So here's the answer for this 26 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,520 week. We have a few answers. 27 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,400 This week we of course had Anda, Apna. 28 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,240 Apna which is also the name of a restaurant so if you like eggs 29 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,720 your own way, you get. And obviously there is grill 30 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,280 say. Like if you like a food grill 31 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:08,800 and you want it directly from the grill you say grill say of 32 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:14,560 course Aja naturally like if you like your nachos there is Kane, 33 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,320 bido, Yarrow. Plus, of course you want to eat, 34 00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:21,680 then you want to eat. And I believe my favorite out of 35 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,560 all of them is bake up Sid. Because why not? 36 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,600 In this case, I do have to credit a certain individual 37 00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,080 sayantan Guha who came up with these food based funds. 38 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,720 I found these online so I can't take credit for these today. 39 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,440 They're all Santan Guha's recipe for disaster, I guess. 40 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:50,080 OK, OK, fair enough. Let's move on to the serious 41 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,080 portion of today's cuisine, because I frankly don't have 42 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,000 anything to say after listening to those puns. 43 00:02:56,640 --> 00:02:58,680 Aditya, why don't you start us off this week? 44 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:04,440 All right, do you know what the repository for germinal choice 45 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,720 is all about? The repository for germinal 46 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,680 choice. Is that the question or is it 47 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,480 the kind of prelude to the question? 48 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,920 Let's call it a prelude. OK, I I I don't know what it is, 49 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:21,720 I don't know what it is, but I would guess it would have 50 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,360 something to do with seed banks preserving biodiversity when it 51 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,000 comes to seeds or something like that. 52 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,880 I love it when you make unintentional puns, Vineet. 53 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,720 And I'll tell you why. Because this is a sperm bank 54 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:42,760 that was operating in California from 1980 to 1999. 55 00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,480 OK. What was special about it? 56 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:50,280 It it became popular, it got some level of notoriety, I 57 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,520 guess. What was special about it that 58 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,800 the founder of this sperm bank advertised as being unique about 59 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,280 the sperm bank. It was founded by this person 60 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,080 called Robert Clark Graham. OK, what was so unique about it? 61 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:11,080 OK, First off the top of my head, did he have like or did he 62 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:16,519 advertise that he had sperm samples from celebrities and top 63 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:21,519 scientists and people who are the doins of their field or 64 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:24,520 something like that? You are. 65 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,600 You are dangerously close to the answer, so I'm just going to 66 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,480 push in the right direction. Yes, it is about the specificity 67 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,920 from a certain group of people who are allowed to donate to 68 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,920 this bank, I guess. OK, are these people who don't 69 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,160 want to have children of their own, but don't want to waste 70 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:47,640 their reproductive potential and also donating? 71 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,760 No. And that would be tough to 72 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,320 enforce, I imagine. But in any case, you were much 73 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:54,880 closer with your previous guests. 74 00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:58,640 OK, with the celebrity thing. Yes, you also mentioned 75 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,480 something else. Sports people, people who are 76 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,880 scientists or high IQ people. Oh, very close, very very close. 77 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,680 So I'll I'll give you maybe a couple of more shots at this. 78 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:17,080 OK, wait, so these are so these are not men's members in 79 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:18,440 particular. That's not the answer. 80 00:05:18,840 --> 00:05:22,080 We these are not like people who are members of the. 81 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:25,760 IQ societies. OK, so not in particular maybe 82 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:29,080 high IQ societies in general like Prometheus and whatnot? 83 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,760 Not high IQ societies, no. Let's say these are people who 84 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:39,000 have a certain achievement. Accolade or Nobel Prize winners? 85 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:43,080 You're right, yes, this is a sperm bank that was intended to 86 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,040 be only for Nobel Prize winners, recipients of the Nobel Prize. 87 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:51,440 Except that non Nobel non Nobelist also did donate, but it 88 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,840 was famous as the Nobel Prize sperm bank. 89 00:05:55,800 --> 00:06:00,000 It was initially called the Hermann J Mueller Repository for 90 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,280 germinal choice, named after Hermann. 91 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:05,400 Joseph Mueller was a Nobel laureate from the 50s, I 92 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,120 believe. Turns out that even though 93 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,720 Robert Graham went around talking big game about how this 94 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:18,000 will be a high IQ sperm bank, it wasn't the case that there were 95 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,640 a lot of Nobel Prize winners who were attached to this. 96 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Yeah, I was going to say that sounds a little SUS to use the 97 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:24,800 Gen. Z. 98 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,080 Terminology, SUS. Oh, it was very SUS because 99 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:35,960 Robert Graham was also a eugenist eugenicist, and there 100 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,360 were three people who were attached to it, two of whom 101 00:06:38,840 --> 00:06:42,320 pulled out. No pun intended. 102 00:06:45,840 --> 00:06:49,640 Pulled out once this place got Notriti, and only one known 103 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,800 Nobel Prize winner who was associated with it who did 104 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:58,200 donate once, apparently. So that that was the case. 105 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,200 The media made a huge furor of what this whole eugenicist sort 106 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,120 of, you know, went to this thing. 107 00:07:05,400 --> 00:07:10,480 Do you know which TV show references this particular sperm 108 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,520 bank? Particular TV show. 109 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,880 In in its pilot episode. Oh wait, this is The Big Bang 110 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,880 Theory. They try to make money by going 111 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:22,360 to a sperm bank. It is The Big Bang Theory. 112 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:26,000 The first scene I believe is Leonard and Sheldon visiting 113 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,720 the, quote, UN quote, high IQ sperm bank. 114 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,600 Yeah, and they're also based in California and they intend to 115 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,920 donate specimens. And Sheldon later feels bad 116 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:43,160 because what if he can committed genetic fraud by donating sperm 117 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:45,800 that may not produce a genius offspring. 118 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:54,200 So yeah, that was how from 1980 to 1999, there was a quote, UN 119 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,720 quote, Nobel Prize sperm bank that was operating in 120 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,120 California. That's nice. 121 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:01,880 That's nice. Great question. 122 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,440 I'm going to move on to something related to music, or 123 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,280 at least the Grammys. So X has been nominated for a 124 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,760 Grammy 9 times and has won three times. 125 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:21,160 He has won last in 2019 and was 94 years old and was the 3rd 126 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,960 oldest person to win such a Grammy. 127 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:27,440 He was a prolific author, spent more than 30 books about his 128 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,480 life, career and experiences, subjects ranging from 129 00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,320 international affairs to a recollection of childhood 130 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,679 Christmases. So who are we talking about? 131 00:08:36,039 --> 00:08:40,880 When was the last Grammy? 2019. 132 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,520 And he was 94 years old. He was 94 years old. 133 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:47,160 Also the author of multiple books you said. 134 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:54,640 Yes, more than 30 books. I can't think of anybody who 135 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,440 jumps to mind right now, so. OK, I will give you a clue which 136 00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,840 may immediately get you the answer. 137 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:11,440 He led the effort to eradicate the Guinea worm parasite in 138 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:14,960 developing countries. He has often been stated as 139 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,720 saying that he hoped to live longer than the last Guinea worm 140 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:24,440 parasite, and it's a testament to his effort that in 2021 only 141 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:30,560 1414 cases of Guinea worm parasites were recorded as 142 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:35,800 compared to 3.5 million in 1986. So you can say he's been pretty 143 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920 successful. I have vague feeling that this 144 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:44,240 is Jimmy Carter. You're right, it is President 145 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,880 Jimmy Carter. He's won three Grammys, all 146 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,200 spoken word Grammys, but 3 Grammys nonetheless 3. 147 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,160 Wow. OK, I remember this was an audio 148 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,040 book that he got the last one for. 149 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:59,120 That's what I remember. Yeah, yes. 150 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:02,360 My next group was going to be that he the position of power 151 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,760 that he held, he's often regarded by many as not having 152 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,920 been one of the best. And to be fair, he also lived 153 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,960 during the transition period when the world was moving 154 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,840 towards a much darker context. So he was president during the 155 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,760 embassy takeover in Iran. When more what we consider today 156 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:27,080 as modern day terrorism, Rose's head it wasn't a good time for 157 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,920 him. This was Jimmy Carter was just 158 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,520 before Bush Senior, right? No, Jimmy Carter was before 159 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,520 Reagan, if I'm not mistaken. All right, Reagan was. 160 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:43,000 So it'll be Carter, Reagan, Bush Senior, Clinton, Bush Junior or 161 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:49,400 West, then Obama, then Trump, then Biden, and then God knows 162 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,240 who's going to be next. That's a pretty cool question. 163 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,200 Interesting. I had no idea that he won a 164 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,000 Grammy three times. Yeah, threes. 165 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,280 Three times. Because when he first asked that 166 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,160 question, I was like, oh boy, I'm I'm going to struggle with 167 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280 this because I'm very bad at music trivia. 168 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:12,120 But lovely. Speaking of America, I want to 169 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,000 know, do you know what over prints are? 170 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,880 Over prints, not specifically, no. 171 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,720 OK, so the idea of an overprint is an additional layer of text 172 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:29,960 or graphic added to the face of postage or revenue stamp or a 173 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:34,200 bank note or a ticket perhaps that's called an overprint. 174 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,480 So there'll be the standard format that any of these 175 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,560 officially issued pieces of paper or? 176 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:42,120 Yeah. Yeah. 177 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,360 No, I understand now. Yeah. 178 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:44,440 Yeah. OK, great. 179 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:50,280 So that would be an overprint. Do you know why America issued 180 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:55,280 over prints on a bunch of dollar bills, including the $20 bill 181 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,840 with the name of a specific state on it. 182 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,240 With the name of a specific state. 183 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,080 Yeah. Was this during the American 184 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:05,880 Civil War? No. 185 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:09,520 OK, so it's not one of the Confederate states. 186 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,280 Did it happen when they changed a particular state's name? 187 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880 Did this happen after the acquisition of Alaska? 188 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,760 Also no. OK, then you'll need to give. 189 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,720 I'll give you the name of the state, it is Hawaii. 190 00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,040 OK, Hawaii became a state in the 50s I believe. 191 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:31,320 Slightly earlier, if I'm not wrong, I retract that Hawaii did 192 00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,000 become a state post or Pearl Harbor. 193 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,880 It was part of the United States of America before that, 194 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,480 obviously, but it wasn't granted statehood then. 195 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:43,560 OK. Yes, TK, so then it. 196 00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,040 Was it was 1959? 1959 I remember something about 197 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,320 it being in the 50s and then I'm like, OK, so fine. 198 00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,600 So it's not. It is wasn't a state. 199 00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,120 Can you give me a time frame as to when this happened? 200 00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:59,360 That would be a very easy clue then. 201 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:04,240 So before I give you that I will give you something else. 202 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:10,360 The intention behind doing the over printing was to render the 203 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:15,280 note worthless. Was this because they were 204 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,600 afraid of a Japanese invasion and they didn't want the 205 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,960 Japanese to get US currency which they could use as a 206 00:13:23,560 --> 00:13:26,280 foreign exchange and have more dollar bills in their hand? 207 00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,320 You know you don't want your currency in the hands of. 208 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,400 Perfect. Yes, yes, you are absolutely 209 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:32,960 right. You got that very quickly. 210 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,480 The fear was that the Imperial Japanese Armed Forces might 211 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:43,280 invade Hawaii and capture a bunch of these banknotes and 212 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,280 unnecessarily contribute to the enemy's war effort, I guess. 213 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,320 So to make sure that these dollar notes were recognizable 214 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,240 immediately, the United States of America decided that they're 215 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,600 going to print Hawaii on top of them during World War 2. 216 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,880 And if they were caught, or if they were being used by the 217 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:06,120 enemy, you'd be immediately made aware that you can that they 218 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,080 should not be considered legal tender anymore. 219 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:12,720 So yeah, the Hawaii overprint note was a series of bank notes 220 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:17,360 issued during World War 2, and it was an emergency issue after 221 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:19,880 the attack on Pearl Harbour. So specifically, that's why I 222 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,440 didn't mention when it was, because I didn't give it to you 223 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,800 too easily, but beneath you cracked it nonetheless. 224 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:31,600 So, well done, well done. Yeah, so I've actually am in the 225 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,320 middle of watching a World War 2 series. 226 00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,440 It's called Masters of the Air, which is a companion piece to 227 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,520 Band of Brothers in the Pacific. But this is specifically dealing 228 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:47,480 with bombers, B17 bombers flying out of England, bombing Germany 229 00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,800 and Europe in advance, the invasion. 230 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:52,440 So I was watching that. So World War 2 is in the 231 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,440 forefront of my mind right now. Isn't it always? 232 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:03,040 It is your Roman Empire. OK, yes, I actually got that 233 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,200 reference. So Amy, let's go to sport. 234 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:08,600 Right. Let me give you a sport question 235 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:11,200 because I rarely ever ask a sport question, right? 236 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,600 So. Go for it. 237 00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:18,040 This type of field goal was first tested at the collegiate 238 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:23,280 level in 1945 in a game between Columbia and Fordham, but it was 239 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,840 not kept as a rule, it was just a test. 240 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,040 There was another one game experiment in 1958 in a game 241 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,600 between Saint Francis and Siena. It was adopted across all 242 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,680 professional and collegiate conferences, leagues and 243 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,720 associations in phases all throughout the 1980s. 244 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:46,520 The use of this type of field goal has become more frequent in 245 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:51,280 the modern day, particularly from the mid 2015 onwards. 246 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:57,840 This increase in the past few years has been attributed to one 247 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:03,360 single player who's credited with revolutionizing the game by 248 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,560 inspiring teams to regularly employ this type of field goal 249 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:09,680 as part of their winning strategy. 250 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,680 What type of field goal are we talking about? 251 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,040 Field goal is an interesting choice of words. 252 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,560 I just want to clarify, are we talking about football? 253 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:22,760 No. By field field goal is the 254 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:29,240 official terminology that is used in the official books and 255 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,640 whatnot. However, we would know it by 256 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,840 slightly different names. OK. 257 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:37,280 And you haven't mentioned the sport yet. 258 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,040 I have specifically not mentioned the sport because of 259 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,840 that would be a dead giveaway. OK, interesting because I was 260 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,240 assuming it would be hockey or ice hockey or something along 261 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,200 those lines, but now I'm. Fair guess, but no. 262 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:56,200 Yeah, now I'm thinking it isn't a sport with goals in general, 263 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,680 so. Technically not true, but not 264 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:05,920 untrue either. That is unhelpful in the worst 265 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,880 possible way. It is true, but not true at the 266 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:10,440 same time. Keep that in mind. 267 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,760 No, don't I I will categorically refuse to keep that in mind 268 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,040 because it only confuses me further. 269 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:22,720 So I'm going to go with my assumption and my first guess is 270 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,079 not even the answer of the question, but rather the sport 271 00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:27,720 itself. Is it cricket by any chance? 272 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,600 No, no, not cricket. OK. 273 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,400 In cricket, you can categorically say that there are 274 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,560 no types of goals, right? There are no field goals or any 275 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:41,160 kind of goals of that kind. This sport has a goal like 276 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,040 system. OK, All right. 277 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,640 So it does have something like you would know as goals. 278 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,800 OK, Because I was very, very curious if cricket has goals 279 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:51,840 too. OK. 280 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:55,840 No. Except for Hardik Pandya's goal 281 00:17:55,840 --> 00:18:01,000 to win. Oh, look at us, we need we have 282 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,360 grown so much making cricket jokes now, asking sports 283 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,360 questions, making cricket do. Our listeners should be proud. 284 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:12,640 OK? A sport which has a goal like 285 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:15,320 feature. I don't know why Quidditch comes 286 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:19,280 to mind, but 1950. No, Quidditch does have goals 287 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,520 right. It does that. 288 00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,880 Specifically, all the 1950s would be pushing it. 289 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:27,840 So until This is a fake history of Quidditch, Quidditch Through 290 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:29,440 the Ages. You never know. 291 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,040 I'm I'm going to assume it's not the case. 292 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,280 No, it's not. But then I like to stir the pot. 293 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,600 Gold like features. But I don't know. 294 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:42,920 I'm so confused. Basketball. 295 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,480 Close. Not actually close. 296 00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,240 Yes, let me say it is basketball. 297 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:56,920 So unnecessary. We need OK, basketball and field 298 00:18:56,920 --> 00:18:59,760 goal. Would it be a three pointer? 299 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,840 Yes, it is a three pointer. OK. 300 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:06,480 So we what we call as baskets or points, they're technically 301 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,760 supposed to be called field goals in the official 302 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:11,920 terminology. Interesting. 303 00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,440 And so the, do you know the player? 304 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,080 So I had mentioned in the question that the increase in 305 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,480 the use of this particular type of field goal in the latter 306 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,760 years has been attributed to one particular player who is 307 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,200 credited with revolutionizing the game by inspiring teams to 308 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,440 regularly employ this type of field goal as a part of their 309 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,600 winning strategy. As in, don't just use this as an 310 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,680 opportunity, use this as a part of a winning strategy. 311 00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:37,600 Do you know which player I'm talking about? 312 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:40,480 You know, I know this piece of trivia because I remember 313 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:45,200 hearing about this. Oh no, I'm it's even escaping me 314 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,760 where I heard about it. But yeah, the fact that three 315 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,480 pointers should be a big part of the game instead of just one 316 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920 soft thing. Oh man, I'm not so good at the 317 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,920 basketball names also. But it's not. 318 00:19:58,240 --> 00:19:59,600 I'll give you a clue about the player. 319 00:20:00,120 --> 00:20:06,680 This player's name is the same as a dish with a sauce seasoned 320 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,920 with spices, mainly associated with South Asian cuisine. 321 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:16,000 South Asian A dish seasoned with sauce that is just every so 322 00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:19,600 every dish in South Asia. Yeah, dish with the sauce 323 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,960 seasoned with spices mainly associated with South Asian 324 00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:24,960 cuisine. What would you call such a dish? 325 00:20:26,360 --> 00:20:27,880 Kobe Beef. Kobe. 326 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,280 Brian, I'm trying to think of what does an Asian. 327 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:34,920 Well, Kobe is not Asian. South Asian, but it's Asian. 328 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:38,000 No, the name just happens to be the same. 329 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,680 It's a it's like it's like a Dabangg association. 330 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,920 It's not intended to be that way. 331 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,360 OK, like if I if I told you there's like the name of one 332 00:20:47,360 --> 00:20:50,360 particular, the name of a type of dish is the same across 333 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:54,440 India, Indonesia, Singapore, even Japan. 334 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:59,000 What name would you think of? Like the same name you'd see 335 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,200 here, there, everywhere that would. 336 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:06,400 Be oyster sauce, Gordon. No, no, I used to. 337 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:11,560 No, I used to serve in India. Oh, I was thinking first names. 338 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,480 Do you mean Steph Curry? Yes, it is. 339 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,160 Stephen Curry. Stephen Curry. 340 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,800 So Steph Curry is who's inspired this. 341 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,560 He's like a regular 3 point machine. 342 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,080 So like he's one of the few basketball players I know of. 343 00:21:24,120 --> 00:21:26,440 So that should tell you how how famous he actually is. 344 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,640 I'm on first name basis. I call him Steph. 345 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,400 I don't even call him Stephen. You call Steph. 346 00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,720 So this three pointer was not part of the original basketball 347 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:39,520 rules, right? It was first tested in 1945, but 348 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,880 not kept as a rule. Then they experimented on it 349 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:44,640 again in 1958. But at the time, there were 350 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,360 problems with defining how far across what line, because there 351 00:21:48,360 --> 00:21:51,200 were different courses, different basketball courts with 352 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,320 different sizes where the length was different. 353 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,360 So it wasn't kept as a rule. And then throughout the 80s, it 354 00:21:57,360 --> 00:22:01,080 was all standardized and made common across all leagues, 355 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,440 associations and conferences. And finally, it has become a 356 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,520 standard rule now and since 2015, since Steph Curry has 357 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,440 become this major player, it has also become a part of creating a 358 00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:16,400 winning strategy during a game. Cool. 359 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,960 That's that's a fun question, All right. 360 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,000 I did not. Especially the field goal part. 361 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:29,240 I love that. OK, Speaking of goals in the 362 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,480 classic sense. Football. 363 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,360 Whichever takes me to football, which takes me to Brazil and we 364 00:22:35,360 --> 00:22:40,720 have segue. My next question is from Brazil. 365 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:48,200 So the right to dash, just like there are Bill, Bill of Rights 366 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,680 for most countries, Brazil has a right to dash, which is 367 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:57,520 colloquially called the right to dash and is in the healthcare 368 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,960 system, is something that has become a sort of a cultural 369 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,200 export from Brazil or a cultural identity of Brazil, because they 370 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,360 do offer the right to dash. This is something that came to 371 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:14,840 be because of a guy called Ivo Pitan Guy. 372 00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:20,640 In the late 1950s, Betangay, who is now known as the Pope of 373 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:26,800 Dash, convinced the president that the right was as basic as 374 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:32,720 any other health need. Can you tell me what the right 375 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,520 is that is pretty unique to Brazil? 376 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,600 I am going to give you a number of guesses because I have no 377 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,360 clue what this is. And when you sent in Brazil and 378 00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:44,080 being a cultural export of Brazil or an export of Brazil, a 379 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,920 lot of things come to mind, right? 380 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,880 But what's really throwing me off is that they said it's part 381 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,360 of the healthcare thing. So the right to something is a 382 00:23:52,360 --> 00:23:54,880 healthcare thing you're talking about? 383 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:57,600 Adjacent, I guess you could call it that. 384 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,640 Healthcare adjacent OK, first guess. 385 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:05,000 I have no expectation this will be right, but is it the right to 386 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,360 drink coffee? Oh, that's a fun guess, but no. 387 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,960 Because Brazil is one of the largest exporters of coffee in 388 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,160 the world. OK, second, knowing Brazil would 389 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,400 be the right to play football, I don't think that should be a 390 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,880 right. But still, like, what else are 391 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:21,840 you talking about? Brazil. 392 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:25,880 OK, it's not football. And again, I don't know, that's 393 00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,000 not health adjacent. Unless you count injuries due to 394 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,240 football. Wow, the right to samba. 395 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,720 Oh man, I really wish that countries had the right to a 396 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,600 specific kind of dance. No. 397 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,200 OK, OK. I am lost. 398 00:24:44,880 --> 00:24:49,040 Oh, wait, wait, wait. Is it peyote or one of those 399 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,680 hallucinogenic drugs that there are a lot of these Amazonian 400 00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,040 tribes which do that. It's not peyote. 401 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,720 Peyote is Mexico. There's one specifically in 402 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:00,960 Brazil and South America. Ayahuasca. 403 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:02,480 Yeah, that's what it is. Is it? 404 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,840 Is it that? No, it's not ayahuasca either. 405 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,520 All right. So let me tell you a little bit 406 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,880 more about this. So let me give you more 407 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,040 descriptive details. In most of the countries, 408 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:22,120 including India and the United States and any other country, I 409 00:25:22,120 --> 00:25:28,080 believe this particular part of the healthcare industry would 410 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:32,120 not be subsidized. Oh, is this plastic surgery? 411 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:34,560 That's right. It is plastic surgery. 412 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:36,520 So do you know what the right is? 413 00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:42,640 The right to boob jobs that. Would be too specific. 414 00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:48,280 OK, think more general. With the right to beauty, the 415 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,680 right to. Beauty is something that is, 416 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:56,880 wow, guaranteed to Brazilians. And this was because of the 417 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,840 efforts of this one specific guy who's considered the Pope of 418 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:07,360 plastic surgery. I hope and Guy and he argued the 419 00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:10,080 right to beauty was as basic as any other health need. 420 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,160 He made the case that ugliness caused so much psychological 421 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:17,560 suffering in Brazil that the medical class could not turn 422 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:23,360 back on the humanitarian issue. In 1960, he opened the first 423 00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:26,080 institute that offered plastic surgery to the poor. 424 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:32,280 And Brazil has a massive number of very qualified plastic 425 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,240 surgeons because there's a huge demand in the country. 426 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,480 It has become sort of a cultural exporter, definitely a cultural 427 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:41,320 identity. Like you mentioned, breast 428 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,000 enhancement surgeries are very common over there and other 429 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,840 plastic surgeries are also common enough and you would not 430 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,400 be paying out of your pocket. Insurance would cover it because 431 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,280 it is considered necessary and not merely aesthetic. 432 00:26:58,320 --> 00:26:59,760 OK. No wonder you have so many good 433 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,920 looking Brazilian people. Do you want to take a guess as 434 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,160 to how many surgeries are subsidized by the government 435 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,440 every year? Oh, I would not be able to. 436 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:15,760 Let's say a few million. No, it's half a million. 437 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:17,400 It's half. A million. 438 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:20,600 Surgeries every year are subsidized by the government. 439 00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:25,000 It is a strange world. It is the world we live in. 440 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,160 Yeah. And you cannot make this up. 441 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:34,000 If somebody put this in a movie, they, the critics would be like, 442 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,600 this is so unrealistic, this would never happen. 443 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,480 Like I guarantee if you do it, if you do it now, even with 444 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:42,480 Brazil having it, most people would say it's unrealistic until 445 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:44,560 you point out that this actually exists in a country like this. 446 00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,400 All right. I mean, it hit me. 447 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,360 OK, so this is regarding something in something in 448 00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,640 particular, something very specific. 449 00:27:53,920 --> 00:28:00,040 OK, they created a special packing case which could 450 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,760 minimize vibration and ensure that it would never come into 451 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,960 contact with another surface. To increase security, the case 452 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,880 had to be small enough to be easily carried by two men, but 453 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,520 impossible to be carried by only one. 454 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:20,680 Moreover, the case had to be unsinkable in the event it had 455 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,800 to be thrown overboard into the sea. 456 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:28,840 They also had the French flag painted on it to show that it 457 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:32,080 was French property because they worried that without the 458 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:35,680 markings, maritime law concerning the salvage rights of 459 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:39,600 property retrieved outside territorial waters might allow 460 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:43,160 it to be wrenched from the possession of France after 461 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,280 reaching the destination. They also insisted on a bank 462 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,120 vault with an independent air conditioning system, and in the 463 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,920 case of a labor strike or loss of electricity, it would need to 464 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,920 be connected to a hospital or the Pentagon. 465 00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,400 What was carried inside this case? 466 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,480 Did you give me a time frame for this? 467 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:08,400 No, that is next. That's my first clue. 468 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,280 See if you can get it without that. 469 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:14,840 Something from France going to the United States of America. 470 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:17,800 I'm assuming it's not the Statue of Liberty. 471 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:22,440 Or no, obviously yeah, no, because they said it is a case 472 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,240 which had to be carry, which can be carried easily by two people 473 00:29:26,240 --> 00:29:29,920 but should not be carried by one or it would be impossible to be 474 00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:33,040 carried by only one person. That's very interesting. 475 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:36,280 It could easily be carried by two, but cannot be. 476 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:38,800 Carried cannot have, yeah. Huh. 477 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,960 That is such a fun description because I can't think of a 478 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,640 single thing. Forget the other clues. 479 00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,360 I can't think of a single object in the whole wide world that 480 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,960 would fit that description. Can easily be carried by two, 481 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,960 but cannot be carried. By one, the case we're talking 482 00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:55,560 about, the case that is carrying. 483 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,400 The case is designed so that it can be carried easily by two 484 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:01,840 people, but cannot be carried by one. 485 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:06,200 That does not necessarily mean that the object inside would fit 486 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,160 that same description. OK, all right, all right. 487 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:15,480 That makes it slightly vaguer, I imagine, but it's bigger. 488 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,880 Even a word? No. 489 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,160 Yeah, I have absolutely no clue. Give me either the. 490 00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,640 Time frame. I will give you a time frame. 491 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:28,520 The time frame is 1962. OK. 492 00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:34,480 Not sure if that helps me. Was it some sort of an award or 493 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,360 or? Not an award. 494 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:40,720 OK, give me what? What space am I thinking of? 495 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,200 Am I thinking arts? Entertainment. 496 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:43,760 Sports. Politics. 497 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:45,960 Arts. Entertainment, yeah. 498 00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:49,280 Is it some sort of movie movie memorabilia? 499 00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:57,360 No, though 1.7 million people did queue up when it arrived and 500 00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:01,000 was used. Not used, let's say displayed. 501 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:06,160 Oh, did the Mona Lisa come to the US? 502 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,320 Yes. So it is the packing case that 503 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:14,760 carried the Mona Lisa from France to the US and then back 504 00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,040 to France. So they had displayed it in the 505 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:23,480 US between March of 1962 and from December of 1962 to March 506 00:31:23,480 --> 00:31:27,040 of 1963, the French government lent it to the US to be 507 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,840 displayed in New York City and Washington DC. 508 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:35,640 In New York, an estimated 1.7 million people queued up so that 509 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,240 they could see the Mona Lisa for all of 20 seconds. 510 00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,880 Each person was allowed 20 seconds to see it. 511 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,320 What I find really ironic about it is they had the French flag 512 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,560 painted on it to show to show that it was French property. 513 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,040 Yeah, you don't want that disputed. 514 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,840 What? What do the French have if not 515 00:31:56,840 --> 00:32:00,920 the Mona Lisa? And I guess baguettes and miming 516 00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:03,120 that you have Mona. Quasong, quasong. 517 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,360 Let's say quasong quasong. Quasong. 518 00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,600 That's true. Though it is disputed whether it 519 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:13,080 is from France. Yeah, there was this thing. 520 00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:17,080 I think people were saying it's also from Austria, yes. 521 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:19,280 Yeah. So then possibly that's not. 522 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,040 But then a French cuisine at least is from France. 523 00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:27,400 We can definitely say that. Escargot snails from France, 524 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:34,040 Champagne from France. I have a friend who works in the 525 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:39,800 culinary space in food, and she has argued that food, French 526 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:43,520 food sucks. So her argument is that French 527 00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:47,160 bakery goods are great. So anything that's baked but 528 00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:52,920 everything that's considered the high branded hot. 529 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,680 Cuisine. Hot cuisine is actually quite 530 00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,400 garbage. I I don't completely agree, but 531 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,600 I do see. Neither do I I think it's a 532 00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,480 matter of your palate. If you're used to a Southeast 533 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,760 Asian, South Asian or East Asian palate, or even African palate, 534 00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:12,360 it's very difficult to appreciate French food because 535 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,960 it can seem very bland. Yeah, I think they have few 536 00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,360 ingredients and they make those ingredients shine. 537 00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:21,640 They don't have as much of, I guess, variety in terms of 538 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,720 spices and all whatnot, but that's for another time. 539 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,320 That's one of the food episode, I imagine. 540 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:32,400 Yes, yes. OK, Vineet, Speaking of old 541 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,360 things. What old? 542 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,240 Now Mona Lisa is old. Come on. 543 00:33:39,640 --> 00:33:42,360 Also sorry, before I asked my question, the whole 20 second 544 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,600 thing, I went to the Louvre and I stood near the queue. 545 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:50,200 I didn't get into the queue to view the Mona Lisa. 546 00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,240 It seemed like the most ridiculous thing to queue up for 547 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:58,600 just because the queue is super long and you barely get any time 548 00:33:58,600 --> 00:34:01,040 in front of it. And it's very small. 549 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,600 I've seen photographs of it, like in the context of the room, 550 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,239 it's very small. It's tiny and there are huge, 551 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,159 beautiful paintings in that museum. 552 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,719 Well, I guess it is. It is what it is. 553 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,360 All right. But Speaking of old things, 554 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:23,480 let's move to my last question and the second last question of 555 00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:27,760 this episode. And here I have to warn you that 556 00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:33,480 this question isn't technically a great trivia question, but it 557 00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:36,679 is a phenomenal piece of trivia. So. 558 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,120 Bear with me if the question doesn't make a whole lot of 559 00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:41,600 sense. OK. 560 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:46,040 What is common between the rings of Saturn? 561 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:50,120 OK. Polaris, The North Star. 562 00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,440 OK. The Atlantic Ocean. 563 00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:55,880 Wait, what? Wait for it. 564 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:58,200 Wait for the last one. Trees. 565 00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:03,160 What? Wait, we're talking about the 566 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:12,720 rings of Saturn, the North Star, the Atlantic Ocean, and trees. 567 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,640 Not any specific tree, just all trees. 568 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,520 Trees. All trees. 569 00:35:18,680 --> 00:35:21,720 What? I cannot even get a starting 570 00:35:21,720 --> 00:35:23,800 point. Polaris. 571 00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:26,600 The rings of Saturn. Wow. 572 00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:30,160 Anything to do with Atlantis? Atlantic Ocean? 573 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:31,960 Atlantis. But then trees? 574 00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:33,680 What do trees have to do with Atlantis? 575 00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:39,240 Wow, this is just weird. And Polaris is OK Are we talking 576 00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:41,720 about the star Polaris or the North Star? 577 00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:47,400 Because the North Star keeps changing every few 10,000 years. 578 00:35:47,560 --> 00:35:49,120 We're talking about the star Polaris. 579 00:35:50,240 --> 00:35:52,600 The star Polaris. Wow. 580 00:35:53,080 --> 00:35:55,560 What we call Dhruvtara, right? Yes. 581 00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:02,920 Oh God, I have nothing. The Atlantic Ocean, The rings of 582 00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:06,640 Saturn and trees. Wait, are these all things that 583 00:36:06,640 --> 00:36:09,920 James Cameron changed in the second cut of Titanic? 584 00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:16,240 Oh man, that is. No, technically that that that 585 00:36:16,240 --> 00:36:18,320 may not be wrong. There must have been a tree 586 00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,640 somewhere in the film. I'm guessing he might have added 587 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,160 it or removed it. The Polaris in the rings of 588 00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:27,600 Saturn, when he changed the night sky, and he might have 589 00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:30,520 also changed the special effects for the water. 590 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,760 I It's a right answer. You cannot say this is wrong. 591 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:37,120 I I will consider this the unofficial second answer to this 592 00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:41,280 question for me. Yeah, but it isn't the answer I 593 00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,680 was. Looking for OK, give me a clue 594 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:47,880 what should I be looking for? Is it etymology related? 595 00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:51,800 Is it mythology related? Is it something else? 596 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:56,720 What is this It is? In the space of science, and 597 00:36:56,720 --> 00:37:02,200 specifically let's say the animal and plant Kingdom, let's 598 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:04,480 be even more specific. It's one species. 599 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:09,120 A species is common to the rings of Saturn, Polaris, the Atlantic 600 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:14,080 Ocean, and. Well, it's not common to it, but 601 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:18,680 they all of these things relate to that species in a very 602 00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,400 specific way. OK. 603 00:37:21,840 --> 00:37:25,600 To be fair, these are not. I'm using the word species 604 00:37:25,600 --> 00:37:28,920 rather non scientifically, so it's not. 605 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:31,000 I'm not sure if it's a specific species or. 606 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,040 Wait, are these something to do with dogs? 607 00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:37,520 I'm spitballing here. Polaris dog? 608 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:39,640 No, That's a good guess. But no, it's not. 609 00:37:39,640 --> 00:37:40,040 It's. Not no. 610 00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,880 The serious serious is the dog star, not Polaris. 611 00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:48,480 Yeah. OK, oh, pigeons or doves or 612 00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,160 something which navigate. No, no. 613 00:37:52,160 --> 00:37:55,040 All right, let me, let me give you specifically how they're 614 00:37:55,040 --> 00:37:57,320 related to that species. I have tormented you long 615 00:37:57,320 --> 00:38:01,240 enough, OK? All of these are younger than a 616 00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:08,080 specific species. Oh, then in that case, I would 617 00:38:08,080 --> 00:38:12,440 have to go with sharks. It is sharks. 618 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:17,200 These are all things in the universe younger than sharks, so 619 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,560 I'm I'm sure there will be a bunch of other other animal and 620 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:25,880 plant species also out there older than this bacteria. 621 00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:30,400 Viruses I'm sure are much older, but in this case I was just 622 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:34,040 amazed by the idea. And I did know that sharks are 623 00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,320 older than trees, just because trees came on land much later 624 00:38:38,320 --> 00:38:41,160 and then sharks had been around for a while even that that 625 00:38:41,400 --> 00:38:43,040 trivia might blow some people's minds. 626 00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:46,720 It is a phenomenal piece of trivia Polaris, and I don't mean 627 00:38:46,720 --> 00:38:49,280 Polaris became the North Star after that. 628 00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,640 I mean, the star is younger than sharks. 629 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,120 The. Star has not been around for as 630 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:58,960 long as sharks have been around. That to me is freaking insane 631 00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,600 because sharks have been around for 450 million years. 632 00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:06,480 And Polaris? And they've changed relatively 633 00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:10,360 very little, except for size. They've changed relatively 634 00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,480 little. Insanity. 635 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:16,080 That is absolute insanity because a shark is a pretty, if 636 00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,400 I guess a complex animal, complex being and and and to 637 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:26,480 think that that was around before, you know what else is in 638 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:29,800 the realm of of sharks as a species lifetime, I'll tell you. 639 00:39:30,000 --> 00:39:31,920 So Saturn rings. I mentioned Ayanga. 640 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,640 A lot of exoplanets, Ayanga. There's this thing called the 641 00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:39,640 boot void, which is the largest known void between galaxies, 642 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:42,840 which is 350 million light years. 643 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:47,680 So technically, light can travel across the entire boot void and 644 00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:52,160 still not be as old as sharks. 3 million years. 645 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:54,760 Oh, here's my favorite piece of this. 646 00:39:54,760 --> 00:39:57,400 All of this, right? So I mentioned the Atlantic 647 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:01,760 Ocean is probably younger, trees are younger, Saturn rings are 648 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:09,080 younger, and Polaris, a galactic orbit of the Sun, is only 200 to 649 00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:14,840 225,000,000 years. So the Sun has gone around Milky 650 00:40:14,840 --> 00:40:19,480 Way Galaxy twice in the time. Shark sharks have been a wow. 651 00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:23,960 Sharks have taken two whole revolutions of the Milky Way 652 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,560 Galaxy. And just look at the comparison 653 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,880 between how long they have been alive. 654 00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:32,840 Sharks have been alive compared to humans, like modern day 655 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:36,480 humans in our current aspect, what 40,050 thousand years? 656 00:40:37,520 --> 00:40:39,440 I think. That's pushing it to the very 657 00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,680 extreme, like when we're talking civilizations maybe around 7:00 658 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:47,320 or 10,000 years, but humans as hunter, hunter, gatherers maybe 659 00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:50,560 about 50,000 years or so. You might push it to a few 660 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:54,880 100,000 if you look at our previous, you know, progenitors, 661 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,800 progenitor species. But it's very interesting 662 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,520 because the Homo erectus was around for 2,000,000 years. 663 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:08,080 So even the Homo erectus has been like almost 10 times longer 664 00:41:08,080 --> 00:41:09,880 than than Homo sapiens have been around. 665 00:41:09,880 --> 00:41:14,000 So it is, it is insane. But yeah, 200,000 years is the 666 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,640 maximum I believe to that Homo sapiens are estimated to be 667 00:41:16,840 --> 00:41:20,920 around compared to 450 million years that is. 668 00:41:22,240 --> 00:41:27,680 What is that number? You know, I I've read a couple 669 00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:32,240 of these, you know, kind of mind your perception of time changes, 670 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,840 right? So Nintendo. 671 00:41:36,400 --> 00:41:40,840 I was around when the Ottoman Empire existed. 672 00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,560 Warner Brothers was around when the Ottoman Empire existed. 673 00:41:46,920 --> 00:41:51,560 You could actually write a a historically accurate pastiche 674 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:55,960 of Sherlock Holmes going to Japan and buying trading game 675 00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,560 cards of Nintendo. Yeah, that is true. 676 00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:01,640 That is true. So there are more modern day 677 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:08,200 things also which are in the same realm Picasso was around 678 00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:11,400 the time that Indira Gandhi was alive. 679 00:42:11,400 --> 00:42:14,000 Like somehow that to me also doesn't make as much sense 680 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:20,160 because Picasso seems somehow much older, but he was around, 681 00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:24,720 and if you go slightly longer, I think a common one that people 682 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:30,160 might have heard is Cleopatra is closer to us in history than she 683 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,640 was to the Pyramids of Giza. Yeah. 684 00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,200 There is another one which blew my mind and this is much longer. 685 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:41,520 The T Rex is closer to us than the Stegosaurus was to the T 686 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,320 Rex. Yes, I've heard the same thing. 687 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:45,640 Yeah. Is insane. 688 00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:54,200 Now it's something I had mentioned something similar last 689 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,800 episode, I believe last episode. The episode before last where 690 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,000 Claire Bloom and Charlie Chaplin. 691 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:01,680 If you took their careers together, they've spanned 3 692 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:04,680 centuries, 3 Gregorian centuries. 693 00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:09,440 Another one, which again will blow your perception of time, is 694 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:14,440 that John Tyler was the 10th president of the United States. 695 00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:19,680 OK, 10th president of the United States, which means he was born 696 00:43:19,800 --> 00:43:24,760 when Washington was president and then he became president. 697 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:28,480 OK, John Tyler's grandson is still alive today. 698 00:43:31,240 --> 00:43:35,400 So John Tyler, they had a son very late in life, around 75 699 00:43:35,400 --> 00:43:38,240 something. His son again had a son who was 700 00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:42,440 born very late in life. And the last time I read it was 701 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:47,840 in 2020. Harrison Ruffin Tyler was still 702 00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,800 alive in 2020. He was 91 years old. 703 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:57,760 So he could say that his grandfather was born when 704 00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:05,000 Washington was president. That's a that's a flex. 705 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:06,200 That is a flex. Yeah. 706 00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:12,200 Wow, OK. But I generally the til moment 707 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:15,560 for the whole of last week has to be that sharks are. 708 00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:18,840 Older than older than probably half the shit on earth. 709 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:24,320 Yeah, that is like before a single species had walked on 710 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:28,280 land or survived on land. Sharks had been roaming the seas 711 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:31,160 for a while. I think that's also part of why 712 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:32,680 we are so fascinated with sharks. 713 00:44:33,240 --> 00:44:36,960 Sharks, they are. They are so very complex as 714 00:44:36,960 --> 00:44:40,560 creatures that it it is. And also quite alien because you 715 00:44:40,560 --> 00:44:43,960 don't see any other fish, because sharks are not fish, but 716 00:44:43,960 --> 00:44:48,600 you don't see any other kind of aquatic or marine animal or 717 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:51,360 whatever you want to call them living being, which resembles 718 00:44:51,360 --> 00:44:52,680 sharks. Like they have their own 719 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,560 identity and it's very separate from everything else. 720 00:44:57,160 --> 00:45:01,520 Oh, and of course, Jaws. Yes, Jaws and Shark Week. 721 00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:08,120 OK, let's move from sharks to the theatre. 722 00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,360 There are two actors, let's call them X&Y, OK? 723 00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:15,760 They're famous for playing the same character. 724 00:45:16,480 --> 00:45:19,800 Both of them are famous for playing a character, and it's 725 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,840 the same character these two actors starred on the London 726 00:45:23,840 --> 00:45:28,800 stage together in 2011 in a production of Frankenstein. 727 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:33,320 It was directed by Danny Boyle, and what was unique about this 728 00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:40,480 play was that X&Y would alternate between playing Victor 729 00:45:40,480 --> 00:45:42,920 Frankenstein and Frankenstein's monster. 730 00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:47,200 So if you went on a Monday, you would see X playing Victor 731 00:45:47,200 --> 00:45:51,360 Frankenstein and Y playing the monster, and the next day the 732 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,320 same play would be played with Y playing Frankenstein and X 733 00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,880 playing the monster. So what ended up happening is 734 00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:06,160 X&Y shared the Laurence Olivier Award and the Evening Standard 735 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:09,480 Theater Award for Best Actor and Leading Role for their 736 00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:12,880 performance. I want you to tell me if you 737 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:16,160 know who these two are. Obviously I've left out a major 738 00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,720 clue, which I will give if you don't know off the top of your 739 00:46:19,720 --> 00:46:23,640 head who this might be. No, I do know that it is 740 00:46:23,640 --> 00:46:28,080 Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm not sure who the other actor 741 00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,360 is. OK, so then you know which same 742 00:46:30,360 --> 00:46:33,440 character they've played, right? Probably Sherlock Holmes. 743 00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:35,360 Yes. So it is Sherlock Holmes. 744 00:46:35,360 --> 00:46:37,120 One of them is Benedict Cumberbatch. 745 00:46:37,520 --> 00:46:39,280 Can you tell me who the second person was? 746 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:42,320 I have no idea who the second person was, no. 747 00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:48,040 OK, would it help if I told you that this person also played 748 00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:51,520 Sherlock Holmes on television? Oh, on television? 749 00:46:53,240 --> 00:46:57,040 There's that American version of Sherlock Holmes also. 750 00:46:57,600 --> 00:46:59,920 OK. But no, no, I have no idea. 751 00:47:00,280 --> 00:47:02,440 Yeah. You've not seen OK, the show's 752 00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:04,000 name is Elementary. Does that help? 753 00:47:04,360 --> 00:47:05,160 Elementary. Yes. 754 00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,720 No. I just know that there's a show 755 00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:08,400 called Elementary. I have not watched it. 756 00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:09,480 I had, oh. You've not watched it. 757 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,480 Oh, OK, OK. The actor, the one I'm talking 758 00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,760 about, was once married to Angelina Jolie. 759 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,000 Last chance to get it. No, no, I have no clue as who. 760 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,920 And I remember his face and I can't record his name. 761 00:47:23,480 --> 00:47:25,800 So it is Johnny Lee Miller and Benedict Cumberbatch. 762 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:30,680 They both played Sherlock Holmes on TV, one in Sherlock and the 763 00:47:30,680 --> 00:47:34,000 other in Elementary, and they both start together in a stage 764 00:47:34,000 --> 00:47:36,160 production of Frankenstein. And I think it's a brilliant 765 00:47:36,160 --> 00:47:39,680 concept. I think it's a brilliant concept 766 00:47:39,680 --> 00:47:42,360 to have the same like actors alternating between these two 767 00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,400 roles. Because at the end, at the core 768 00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:51,040 of the story, and this is my personal take on it, is that who 769 00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:56,400 actually is the monster? Is it Frankenstein or is it the 770 00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:59,000 creature that he created? Who's the monster? 771 00:47:59,640 --> 00:48:03,280 So having actors alternate between those roles, kind of, 772 00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:07,000 you know, drives on that thing. And also from a financial point 773 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:10,240 of view, obviously if you want to watch Frankenstein and you go 774 00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:13,120 watch it once and you see Benedict Cumberbatch playing 775 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:16,040 Victor Frankenstein, you want to come back and see how Johnny Lee 776 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:19,120 Miller does it. No makes sense. 777 00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:20,760 Makes sense. Smart choice. 778 00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,160 From a financial viewpoint as well. 779 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,120 I just remember this piece of trivia because Benedict 780 00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:29,600 Cumberbatch and this other guy playing both the roles. 781 00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:31,480 Yeah, you're right. Like as a financial point of 782 00:48:31,480 --> 00:48:33,920 view, and even if you're a fan of just one of those actors, you 783 00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:36,200 want to watch that actor play the other role also. 784 00:48:36,200 --> 00:48:37,720 So you want to come back and watch the show again. 785 00:48:38,360 --> 00:48:42,520 So makes sense, yeah. So that was my last question and 786 00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:43,920 the last question for this episode. 787 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:48,840 Aditya, what is your question for next week? 788 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:56,480 OK, so my question is, since you mentioned Frankenstein, I want 789 00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:02,400 to ask you which two actors from the Indian film industry should 790 00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:06,800 play the same character, same iconic character, if there was 791 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:10,680 ever an adaptation of that character to stage. 792 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,640 I don't know why, why or how I'm going to arrive at this answer, 793 00:49:13,640 --> 00:49:15,880 but there will be an answer ready for you next week. 794 00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,960 So which two actors would be perfect to play the same 795 00:49:19,240 --> 00:49:21,760 character on the Indian film industry? 796 00:49:22,360 --> 00:49:27,560 OK, I'm grateful I'm not the one coming up with that answer, but 797 00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:30,160 moving on to my question. From the beginning of this 798 00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,000 episode, our audience question how many of you have cracked 799 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:36,360 this? This dish was invented in Canada 800 00:49:36,720 --> 00:49:41,160 by a Greek immigrant who was inspired by Chinese food to put 801 00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,800 a South American ingredient on an Italian dish that has gone on 802 00:49:45,800 --> 00:49:49,760 to be most popular in Australia. However, it's not named after 803 00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:53,400 any of these places. What dish are we talking about? 804 00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,960 Do you have any clue? That's a great question. 805 00:49:57,920 --> 00:49:59,880 Is. Is it named after some other 806 00:49:59,880 --> 00:50:01,600 place? Or is it not named after any 807 00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:05,000 place at all? The name is the same as that of 808 00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:07,320 a place, but it was not technically named after the 809 00:50:07,320 --> 00:50:10,160 place. Oh, so the name is. 810 00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,160 Is it like Hong Kong Noodle or something? 811 00:50:12,720 --> 00:50:17,640 Similar, but as I mentioned, it's invented in Canada by a 812 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,840 Greek immigrant inspired by Chinese food to put a South 813 00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:27,160 American ingredient on an Italian dish that became most 814 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:31,960 popular in Australia. South American ingredient on an 815 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,400 Italian dish became popular in Australia? 816 00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,840 No, I have no clue. OK, this is the Hawaiian pizza. 817 00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:48,040 So the how do I put this very divisive act of putting 818 00:50:48,240 --> 00:50:52,160 pineapples on a pizza was first done by a Greek immigrant by the 819 00:50:52,160 --> 00:50:55,040 name of Sam Panopoulos in Canada. 820 00:50:55,520 --> 00:51:00,240 He was inspired by the complex interplay of sweet, sour, spicy 821 00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:03,840 in Chinese food to put pineapples, which are 822 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:08,720 technically a South American origin, ingredient, on an 823 00:51:08,720 --> 00:51:13,520 Italian dish, which is pizza. But now the place in the world 824 00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:15,680 where it's most popular is Australia. 825 00:51:16,440 --> 00:51:20,040 Wow, I had no clue that it's. What is funny is it was called 826 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:25,520 Hawaiian pizza, not because of the island of Hawaii, because 827 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:28,800 that was the name of the brand of canned pineapple that he had 828 00:51:28,800 --> 00:51:33,040 in the restaurant. Oh, wow. 829 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,280 OK, that's pretty cool. Nice. 830 00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:39,840 Yeah. It's not pineapple. 831 00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:42,320 Didn't happen to me when you said South American ingredient, 832 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:43,200 but yeah. I know. 833 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:46,560 That's why I just love I took this out of a there was an 834 00:51:46,560 --> 00:51:49,320 article, I think in the New York Times or one of the larger 835 00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:52,960 newspapers where the journalist had written exactly this line 836 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,840 makes sense, but it's it's really divisive. 837 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:01,520 I saw this YouTube video of this guy going throughout the going 838 00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:06,080 to multiple pizzerias in Napoli in Naples and asking them to put 839 00:52:06,080 --> 00:52:10,120 pineapple on the pizza. Let's just say the Italians 840 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:14,440 weren't very on board with that particular request. 841 00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:18,000 Is it the same guy who went around asking for ketchup when 842 00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:19,800 he ordered pasta? Because I know there's a guy who 843 00:52:19,800 --> 00:52:21,880 did that also. I think it's the same guy. 844 00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:28,800 I think the same guy. OK, so what's your pop culture 845 00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:30,720 recommendation for this week, Aditya? 846 00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:36,320 I'm going to do YouTube channel for this week and because I was 847 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:39,200 reminded of this channel because we're talking about sharks and 848 00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:43,160 the universe and things that are old and ancient and impressive, 849 00:52:43,640 --> 00:52:48,800 and this would be PBS Eons. PBS Eons is a YouTube channel, 850 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:51,200 which is a very interesting channel. 851 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:55,280 They are simple. They don't do very complex 852 00:52:55,280 --> 00:53:00,200 graphics as many other infotainment channels on YouTube 853 00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:04,160 do. But this does have a thorough 854 00:53:05,080 --> 00:53:09,720 scientific, I guess research backing it, or at least seems to 855 00:53:09,720 --> 00:53:10,280 me. I'm not. 856 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,920 I'm not a scientist so I can't claim that it is thorough, but 857 00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:18,560 seems to be pretty thorough. And they do tell great stories 858 00:53:19,240 --> 00:53:22,800 in in 10 minute videos. So check it out. 859 00:53:22,800 --> 00:53:26,360 And there are some very fun topics that they cover, right? 860 00:53:26,360 --> 00:53:30,040 Right from dinosaurs to modern day humans and their histories. 861 00:53:30,680 --> 00:53:34,400 Oh, that's great. My recommendation for this week 862 00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,520 is related to my recommendation from a past episode. 863 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,400 So if you remember, I had mentioned Benjamin Stevenson's 864 00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,680 book Everyone in My family Has Killed someone. 865 00:53:47,880 --> 00:53:51,720 Yeah, so there's a sequel to that book, which the last 866 00:53:51,720 --> 00:53:53,840 episode I mentioned that I'd bought and was in my reading 867 00:53:53,840 --> 00:53:55,920 list called. Everyone on this train is a 868 00:53:55,920 --> 00:54:00,120 Suspect. Let me tell you, it rocks. 869 00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:05,200 The book is fantastic. It is truly fantastic. 870 00:54:05,240 --> 00:54:08,480 And I would recommend it to everybody, Anybody who enjoys a 871 00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:10,520 good comedy book or a good mystery. 872 00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:14,240 Because it's a solid mystery. Because I believe that a good 873 00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:18,240 mystery writer should be able to put all the clues in front of 874 00:54:18,240 --> 00:54:21,960 the audience and then reveal the answer. 875 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,960 Many times what happens is there will be some odd clue or 876 00:54:24,960 --> 00:54:28,320 something that is off screen or is not told about, and it's a 877 00:54:28,800 --> 00:54:31,280 Deus Ex machina or some kind of thing that comes up in the end. 878 00:54:31,280 --> 00:54:33,440 And they're like, oh, it is because of this that this person 879 00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:37,920 was the killer. But no, here in the chapter, 880 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,320 right before the complete reveal, the author or the 881 00:54:41,320 --> 00:54:44,320 narrator actually lists all the clues for you one more time. 882 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:47,560 Nice. OK. 883 00:54:48,360 --> 00:54:50,840 It's a fantastic book. I would highly, highly recommend 884 00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:55,440 it to everyone else and something that Aditya and I were 885 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:59,440 discussing earlier about how long humans have been, how long 886 00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,120 Homo erectus was there before Homo sapiens took over and 887 00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:04,360 things like that. I was reminded of a line from 888 00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:07,560 ATV series that I saw recently. It's called The Three Body 889 00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:11,760 Problem on Netflix, where during one particular episode, a 890 00:55:11,880 --> 00:55:15,160 character I'm not going to spoil who basically asks them how long 891 00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:17,040 did it take you from fire to the wheel? 892 00:55:17,040 --> 00:55:19,520 From the wheel to the industrial revolution? 893 00:55:19,520 --> 00:55:21,320 From the industrial revolution to the Information Age. 894 00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:23,640 So it's like shortening periods of time. 895 00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:24,880 So I was reminded of the same thing. 896 00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:27,720 We walked erect for 2,000,000 years, then we became hunter 897 00:55:27,720 --> 00:55:29,480 gatherers.
