I am sorry for our listeners 19 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,080 that I am no longer tripping on painkillers and hence indulging 20 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,080 in rabbit holes, but never fear, I feel like injuries are part 21 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,840 and parcel of life and this will happen again and I'll be back on 22 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,960 painkillers so rabbit hole is never too far away. 23 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,960 OK, Aditya, I have a few crackers questions today ready 24 00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:31,920 for you. Shall I do the honors? 25 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,680 Please proceed. So this is a fantastic piece of 26 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,240 trivia which I found. An Irish geologist who spent 27 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,200 much of his career in India by the name of Henry Benedict 28 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,800 Medlicott co-authored one of the earliest authoritative works on 29 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,880 Indian geology in the 19th century. 30 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,840 He introduced the term X to describe a distinctive fossil 31 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:03,760 rich geological belt in India known especially for its ancient 32 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,960 coal bearing formations. The name X was taken from an 33 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,360 indigenous people who inhabit this region of central India. 34 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,160 Decades later, the same term became the linguistic and 35 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:25,800 scientific foundation for YA much larger geological idea that 36 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:29,600 reshaped how scientists understood Earth's ancient past. 37 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,800 The link between the two lies in location. 38 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,280 Some of the earliest rock formations associated with Y 39 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,160 were first studied within the regions that gave rise to the 40 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,520 name X, particularly in areas that today fall within Odisha, 41 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,000 Telangana, Madhya Pradesh. I'm giving you a clue here 42 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000 itself. I want you to identify X&Y and 43 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,280 tell me where does S S Rajamouli figure among all of this? 44 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:04,040 Oh interesting, Rajamouli's latest piece of news I guess 45 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,640 from him or related to him has been his film that he is doing 46 00:03:07,640 --> 00:03:11,760 which is the globe spanning and time spanning epic which is like 47 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,920 Globetrotter, time Trotter or something. 48 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,080 Varanasi. The movie's name is Varanasi. 49 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,960 That's the one I think it features. 50 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,560 If I'm not wrong, it features the Antarctic Ross Ice Shelf. 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:28,720 It has some part of the is it Serengeti or some some the 52 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,320 Savannah Savannah grassland area. 53 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:37,560 It also features the battle in Ramayan but that would be Sri 54 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:42,440 Lanka that wouldn't be in central India. 55 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:45,920 I don't remember what are the locations are there but OK. 56 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,680 Going off of you mentioned Madhya Pradesh, the Deccan 57 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,560 Deccan would be my first guess. Something to do Deccan? 58 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,600 But that's a given. I already told you Central India 59 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,320 and Odisha, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and also then I think 60 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,000 that's a given. No, I was wondering if the word 61 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,760 Deccan has anything to do with any of it. 62 00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,120 No, the word Deccan does not have anything to do with it. 63 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,560 And you were very cold with all your musings about Rajamouli. 64 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,000 You could have stopped me. You didn't have to let me 65 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:16,360 Globetrot. I could have, but I did not. 66 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,360 So now the clue that I'm going to give you is both X&Y 67 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,080 technically are were actually the same. 68 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,320 The names were the same, but then the term Y is specifically 69 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320 expanded a little bit by most people so that they can 70 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:31,520 differentiate between X&Y because both of them are 71 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:37,240 completely different things. X is a particular region, OK Y 72 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,520 is a kind of huge geological idea. 73 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:45,000 Initially X was Y OK Even today, many people interchangeably use 74 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,280 X&Y. But the specific term Y that I'm 75 00:04:48,280 --> 00:04:51,440 looking for is what is used by researchers to describe that 76 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,200 idea, that particular location, and differentiate it from. 77 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,480 XY is a geological idea. I don't want to say geological 78 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,080 idea. It's a concept. 79 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,320 It's something that existed in the geological past for which we 80 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,720 have given a name. The drift, the continental 81 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,800 drift, I'm thinking India, the subcontinent drifting towards 82 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,520 the Asian plate. OK, slightly warm. 83 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,440 OK, I wouldn't say very warm, but slightly warm. 84 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,440 OK, tectonics, plate tectonics and all these are, as far as I 85 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,000 know, Indian origins or etymology or anything related to 86 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,160 India. X is a geographical region and Y 87 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:34,120 is a concept or an idea or a theory or whatever. 88 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,200 Not a theory, it's something that existed. 89 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,840 And X used to be Y. The names. 90 00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,640 The names basically. And now people have appended 91 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,760 something to Y. Yes. 92 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:49,960 So the idea or Y came about because of what they found in 93 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,720 the region of X. Is this just what happens at 94 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,760 episode 129? Like we just make things so 95 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,120 convoluted. The thing is, there is no way I 96 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,240 can give you this without kind of giving it away a little bit. 97 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,000 But let me just clarify again if you're in doubt, X is a location 98 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:11,400 or an area in India, OK? Why is something in the 99 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,760 geological past? OK. 100 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,560 Why was originally named the exact same as X? 101 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,400 Stop repeating, I'll throw your answer right back at you. 102 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:22,800 You know what the answer to this question is? 103 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,640 X is a geographical area. Why is geographical concept X 104 00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,320 used to be named by, but then to differentiate Y was appended to 105 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,200 something. Oh my God. 106 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,640 OK fine. The Rajamouli somehow in 107 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,080 involved in all of this. Yes, I would suggest go through 108 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,080 the Rajamouli clue. That might make it easier 109 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:40,240 because there are certain things I mentioned here which might 110 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:46,000 lead you to an answer. Baahubali, RRR and now Varanasi. 111 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:51,320 Does it have anything to do with any of Rajamouli's filmography? 112 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:53,240 Or is it something to do with life but not his? 113 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,000 Filmography. I wouldn't expect you to know 114 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:56,160 anything about his personal life. 115 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,880 It's obviously his filmography. I guarantee you've seen this 116 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,280 film and I've hidden clues in between here and there which 117 00:07:02,280 --> 00:07:04,400 should. If I I can, I can tell you I've 118 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,160 not seen most of Rajamouli's films. 119 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,240 You know what I think? I've not seen a single one of 120 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:13,360 his films. I what this entire question was 121 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,920 dependent on you having seen it so I could lead you to the 122 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,280 answer. I have not seen Bahubali. 123 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,040 I have not seen RRR and many of his previous films though. 124 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:27,320 Yeah, definitely not seen. Oh my God, and you call yourself 125 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,600 a film lover? I want to watch it, it's just 126 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120 that it wasn't in theaters when I wanted to go watch it. 127 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:35,400 Yeah, yeah. There is no such thing as 128 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,760 streaming anymore, you know. Hey listen, a lot of people told 129 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160 me that Bahubali RR. All of these films are best 130 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:42,600 appreciated on the big screen. Well, OK, whatever. 131 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:50,800 So I have not seen any of these films, but I do know the broad 132 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,920 concept I guess. OK, then I'm going to tell you 133 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,840 which movie. So then you figure out from your 134 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,320 broad concept. OK, RRR. 135 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:06,800 Oh my God, that does. Is it not to not to by any 136 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,200 chance? I've seen that video quite a few 137 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,160 times. Oh God, OK, my entire question 138 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,840 was predicated on being able to guide you through this thing 139 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:18,240 through RRR so I could get you through the answer, but since 140 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:21,360 that's not happening I think we'll stop wasting time and I 141 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,280 will tell you the answer. No, no, no. 142 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:24,240 You know what? I can try this. 143 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,000 I can try this. OK, I'm going to give you a 144 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,560 giveaway clue. The idea that this thing named 145 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,640 was a super continent. OK, I was thinking of Pangaea, 146 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,799 but Pangaea is. It's not Pangaea. 147 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:37,799 Then there's Gondwana. Land. 148 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,080 Thank you. It is Gondwana land and 149 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,440 Gondwana. So X is Gondwana, Y is Gondwana 150 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:47,480 land. You can technically call the 151 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,560 supercontinent Gondwana, but because they wanted to 152 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:52,920 differentiate between the region in India, which is called 153 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:57,240 Gondwana and the supercontinent, many researchers now call it 154 00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,080 Gondwana land for the supercontinent. 155 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:02,080 Now for the benefit of our audience who have been patiently 156 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,200 listening while Aditya trudged his way through quicksand, let 157 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:07,480 me put everything into perspective. 158 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,400 Henry Benedict Medleycott coined Gondwana. 159 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,920 Gondwana refers to a Permian cold bearing stratigraphic 160 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360 region in India named after the Gond people. 161 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,520 They are a tribe indigenous tribe called the Gond who 162 00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:27,520 inhabit central India's basics. The continent of Gondwana or 163 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,320 Gondwana land was named by Austrian scientist Edouard Suez 164 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:38,080 after the Indian region of the same name, which derived its 165 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,480 name from Sanskrit. Oh. 166 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,400 It was Gond one, as in Forest of the Gondes. 167 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:47,960 Oh. So Gondwan became Gondwana, 168 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:53,240 which became Gondwana land. The earliest Gondwana rocks were 169 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,680 found and studied in mostly India, which is why this 170 00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,920 connection was made from Gondwana to Gondwana land. 171 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:04,960 Now since you've not seen RRR, this will make absolutely zero 172 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,200 sense to you. But to the rest of the normal 173 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080 people listening to this podcast, this is the connection 174 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,680 to RR, the Gond people depicted in RRR, which is an s s 175 00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,120 Rajamouli film of 2022 as the Adivasi tribe of Komuram Bheem, 176 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:24,440 played by Junior NTR or NT Ram Rao Junior and the rescued girl, 177 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:28,000 The person whose plight leads to the entire plot happening, 178 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,920 Malli. She's also a Gond. 179 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,280 They are the Gond's of central or Southern India, the same Gond 180 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:35,960 tribe. The region that they lived in 181 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,800 gave rise to the Sanskrit name Gond 1, which gave rise to the 182 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,040 name Gondwana, and from there to the supercontinent Gondwana 183 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,360 land. That's pretty cool. 184 00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:49,200 Now if you had watched the movie you would be like oh mind blown 185 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,920 but ABS this is just hopeless. Why do I even? 186 00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,400 Mind is still blown. Mind is still blown. 187 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:57,160 No more South Indian movie connections for you to be. 188 00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,760 Fair. I think it's the genre of film 189 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,560 that doesn't really appeal to me as much good. 190 00:11:00,560 --> 00:11:04,200 James Cameron loves his movies. I could like James Cameron film 191 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:05,720 either. I have not gone and watched the 192 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,520 new avatars. Okay, the avatars. 193 00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,240 Everybody makes shit movies when they get older, but come on. 194 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,280 Terminator 2, Judgment Day, True Lies. 195 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,600 Okay, okay, The Abyss. Good films. 196 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:17,880 Good films, I'm saying, is recent. 197 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,720 Titanic. I think Titanic is a little 198 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,520 overrated to be very honest. Look, I won't disagree with you 199 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,520 there, but still. Other films get I think he's 200 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:28,760 larger than life films have I pics have always kind of bored 201 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,320 me a little. What about true lies? 202 00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:34,400 I have not seen True Lies. Oh my God, what is wrong with 203 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,600 you? Today's homework for you is to 204 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,800 go and watch True Lies, one of the greatest action comedy spy 205 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,600 thrillers ever made. True Lies it is. 206 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,440 I can watch it today and it still holds up. 207 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:49,360 Please, please, please I am begging you Heart Choto, please 208 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,160 watch that movie. Oh, I will. 209 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:56,840 I will abide by this. As usual, empty words, Aditya, 210 00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,120 empty words. Hey, listen, listen, listen. 211 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,960 I don't like this tone of judgment, OK? 212 00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,840 There's supposed to be an inclusive space. 213 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:08,200 We we do this trivia without any timer, without any pre set 214 00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:11,640 format, just because we we like to ensure that when the other 215 00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,480 person is a fool like me, they don't feel bad about it. 216 00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,360 You should consider that this is a podcast where we actually give 217 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,280 pop culture recommendations. I think my pop culture 218 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,160 recommendations are things I truly believe in. 219 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,520 And then there are some things that are not everybody's cup of 220 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:28,840 tea. Listen, if you don't like 221 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,000 things, you wouldn't know. I don't like watch. 222 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,240 It. OK I'll watch True Lies, I'll 223 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,560 also watch. I'll definitely watch Baubali. 224 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,520 I will watch KGF at some point as well. 225 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,240 No, no, I like KGF. I don't think you like, I don't 226 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,640 think you'll like KGF. So I'm not telling you to watch 227 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,960 like I enjoyed the movie, but I don't think you'll like it. 228 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,960 All of these movies, fantastic soundtracks. 229 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000 OK, I've heard all the songs, I've watched the music videos, 230 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,720 great soundtracks, A phenomenal dancing like not not to I mean, 231 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:57,160 come on, like I learned the choreography because it is just 232 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,600 so good. But the movies, yeah, not not my 233 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,800 my instinct to go watch them, but but I respect your choice in 234 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,760 film. So I'll at some point watch it 235 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,880 and I'll come with you for encouraging me. 236 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,680 How is it that we've been doing this podcast for three years and 237 00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:15,440 I didn't know that you never watched Baahubali or RRR or any 238 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:16,960 of the Rajpathi Don't. Talk about it. 239 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,320 I don't talk about it. I feel like I'll get judged for 240 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,240 it. Have you seen Rowdy Rathod? 241 00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:22,960 No, I'm not. OK. 242 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,360 It's a genre of films that I just don't care for too much. 243 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,640 OK, having embarrassed myself, I'm going to move on to 244 00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,920 something that is potentially embarrassing to someone else 245 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,480 entirely. OK. 246 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:41,200 And then using geography as a jumping off point? 247 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,040 OK. I'm sure you're aware of the 248 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,920 current geopol. I mean, you would have to be 249 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,640 living under a rock to not know that the US is trying to some 250 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,120 way get their hands on Greenland. 251 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:58,640 I'm aware. So you know that this is not the 252 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:01,560 first time that they have expressed in acquiring 253 00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,640 Greenland. US has had at multiple points of 254 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,000 time wanted to expand their territories. 255 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,480 There have been very famous acquisitions, sometimes through 256 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,280 war, sometimes through monetary transactions, where America has 257 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,240 acquired land. One of the most recent permanent 258 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:23,960 expansions of the United States territory was when Denmark 259 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:31,200 itself sold some land in the world to the US in exchange for 260 00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:36,600 the US not showing too much more interest in Greenland. 261 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:38,920 This was the last time that Denmark was like a hey, listen, 262 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,080 buddy, relax, OK? We're going to give you this 263 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,080 thing which will hopefully make up for not having Greenland. 264 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,320 Oh, my God. Vinit is already cracking his 265 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160 knuckles. He knows where this is going. 266 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,280 This is not going to be an Rajamouli moment. 267 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,840 So the first part of the question is what was sold to the 268 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:02,800 US the last time that Denmark was like a bra get off our back, 269 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,120 we don't want want to give you Greenland. 270 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,280 This would be Jeffrey Epstein's sex island. 271 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,840 Oh my God, that was both my questions combined into one. 272 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,280 Whereas this is, as you are obviously aware, Jeffrey 273 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:26,840 Epstein's island is part of what was then known as the Danish W 274 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,000 Indies. And this was sold to the United 275 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,280 States for a grand total sum of $25 million in gold, which would 276 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,440 be $722 million after accounting for inflation. 277 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:45,680 And this treaty was in 1916, so more than 100 years ago. 278 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:48,360 OK. More than 100 years ago, they 279 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:53,440 sold this part to the US to get them off their back, not come 280 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,200 after them. For Greenland, the US took it. 281 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,680 It was one of the last or rather more recent permanent expansion 282 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,520 of United States territory which became the US Virgin Islands. 283 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Now US Virgin Islands obviously has a bunch of islands in it. 284 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:11,200 One of them more recently in the news because of Jeffrey Epstein, 285 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:15,280 the sex offender who killed himself allegedly while while 286 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:18,560 incarcerated. And that was the hub of all of 287 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,000 his illicit illegal activities and doings and wrongdoings. 288 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,000 And Epstein Island just feels like it doesn't leave Trump. 289 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,120 Oh no, no, no. One way or the other. 290 00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:37,080 That man comes back to that. OK, so thanks to the s s 291 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,800 Rajamouli's. I don't know. 292 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,280 I want to connect this to S S Rajamouli for anything and 293 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:42,720 everything today so that I. Can don't. 294 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:43,520 Don't do it. Don't do it. 295 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,800 I don't think this is a good condition to make for Rajamouli. 296 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,360 Oh no man, don't do that. No, no, no, take care. 297 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,800 OK? Thanks to the cinema God that he 298 00:16:51,800 --> 00:16:53,720 was answered my prayers, I knew the answer to the question. 299 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:58,320 Again, why would you want to connect somebody you like, Steve 300 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:01,400 Ireland and Trump and idiocies of that nature? 301 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:06,240 OK, Speaking of cinema Gods, this is something that's 302 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,200 definitely not a Cinema God related question. 303 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:14,079 But Cello X, the actor who ultimately brought the character 304 00:17:14,079 --> 00:17:19,440 Y to life, was not the original choice for The Road. 305 00:17:20,079 --> 00:17:24,160 Interestingly, Amitabh Bachchan played a significant, though 306 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,599 indirect, role in the creation of the character Y. 307 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:33,120 The character's very name echoes the titles of 1 of Bachchan's 308 00:17:33,120 --> 00:17:39,360 films, while Y's personality and visual style drew inspiration 309 00:17:39,360 --> 00:17:43,800 from the great Gambler, in which the late Sujit Kumar portrayed A 310 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:47,680 comparable Italian character. I want you to identify the actor 311 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:54,120 X whose praised for his comic timing and name the character Y. 312 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:55,840 All right, so let me get that straight. 313 00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:59,960 You mentioned that this is a character that was inspired by 314 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,600 Amitabh Bachchan's movie. The name is inspired by Amitabh 315 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,600 Bachchan's movie title. The character is Y, the actor is 316 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,480 X. The character's name was 317 00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:16,200 inspired or basically it echoes 1 of Amitabh's films and wise 318 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,320 personality. The character's personality and 319 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:22,320 visual style drew inspiration from a character in The Great 320 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,600 Gambler, played by Sujit. Kumar, one other film that I've 321 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,360 not seen. I think you might have seen 322 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:27,640 this. I've not seen this film. 323 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:32,160 No, I meant great gambler I've not seen but any case Amitabh 324 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,920 Bachchan film that inspired the title. 325 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,440 Is that a famous film or is it not very? 326 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,840 Decent. Decently famous. 327 00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:39,720 I've heard of it even though I've not seen it. 328 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,040 I've heard of it. OK, give me a time frame for the 329 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,760 the Y film or the Y character film. 330 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:48,920 So the film that the character Y first appeared in was 2010. 331 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,960 First appeared in SO are you implying that this character has 332 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:53,360 appeared multiple times in films? 333 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:59,480 Maybe. Character we heard in a 2010 334 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,280 film and potentially has appeared multiple times. 335 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,400 Like I mentioned, the character's personality and 336 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:10,760 visual style was inspired from the great Gambler in which Sujit 337 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:12,680 Kumar portrayed an Italian character. 338 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:15,600 So is this character vaguely European or Italian or something 339 00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:18,120 like that? There is a connection I think at 340 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:20,040 least. I've not watched the movie so I 341 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,000 don't know. I think I've watched the first 342 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,840 one, but I can't for the life of me remember the plot and I've 343 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,440 never watched it a second time and I've never felt the need to 344 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,400 watch it again. I have vague memories of doing 345 00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:31,920 it, but it's not one of the movies that stuck. 346 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,080 This is a comedy character like it's a comedy film. 347 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,640 Did you say some comic timing thing? 348 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:37,800 Yes, yes, yes, it is a comedy character. 349 00:19:38,360 --> 00:19:39,880 I'm assuming it's a Hindi film, right? 350 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,920 It is a Hindi film. Bollywood film 2010 comedy, 351 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,800 vaguely European or maybe Italian, has appeared multiple 352 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,480 times. The name is inspired by an 353 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:56,000 Amitabh Bachchan film. A 1986 Amitabh Bachchan film. 354 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:01,520 Oh OK, 1986 I know. More of his 70s films? 355 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:03,560 No, I know. No idea at all. 356 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:05,320 OK so I'm going to give you a clue. 357 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,440 Like I already kind of indirectly mentioned, this 358 00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:09,600 character has appeared in multiple films. 359 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,240 Again, I don't want to get flag for this because I've not 360 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,360 watched the movies, but from what I could understand, while 361 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:22,120 each movie had some of the same actors, all the names used to 362 00:20:22,120 --> 00:20:27,320 get changed from movie to movie. However, this actor portrayed a 363 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,520 character by the same name in all of. 364 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:31,240 Those house full or something like that. 365 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:33,320 Very good, it is the house full movie. 366 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:35,520 So which character am I talking about? 367 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:36,760 Hey. I've not seen a single one of 368 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,400 those either. I've not seen a single one of 369 00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:40,040 those. Thank you. 370 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:42,640 OK. OK, so this is awkward. 371 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:47,200 I've not seen it either so but I really liked the trivia portion 372 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:48,800 of it. So then it's going to be 373 00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,640 difficult for you to answer it. The answer was Chunky Pandey. 374 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,520 Oh, right. Yeah, he's been in the films, 375 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,000 Yeah. Yes, and the character's name is 376 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,760 Akri. Pasta I I don't care for this 377 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:04,840 piece of trivia. I don't care for those movies. 378 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:08,120 I. Listen to this. 379 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:11,160 Listen to this So Chunky Pandey was not the original choice for 380 00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,000 the Road. Director Sajid Khan initially 381 00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,040 was supposed to play the character himself, but then he 382 00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,320 realized that he couldn't direct and act in the film. 383 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,160 So he approached Chunky Pandey and offered him the Road. 384 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,800 Both the name and persona Bakri Pasta were directly inspired by 385 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:30,080 Amitabh Bachchan films. The name Akri Pasta rhymes 386 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,880 directly with Amitabh Bachchan's 1986 film. 387 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:39,080 Akri rasta, beautiful, beautiful Akri pasta. 388 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:41,800 Akri rasta. Like that's, that's poetry. 389 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,080 That's poetry. Like who is Rajamouli? 390 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:48,160 Honestly, yes, chill with your grand epics. 391 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,880 And also can I just point out, you said at some point Sajid 392 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,240 Khan thought that if an A quote he acts in the film, he will not 393 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,960 be able to direct it. Let me just clarify. 394 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,600 I have not seen the films, but going by whatever I have seen of 395 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,000 it, not like he directed the hell out of it because he was 396 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,560 not acting in it. No, but it is, I think, the 397 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,240 highest grossing comedy series of Indian cinema. 398 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,360 OK, fair enough. Because I think the most recent 399 00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:21,040 one just came out because I would imagine the playing 400 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,680 golmal. It has also had multiple outings 401 00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:26,240 that would probably have earned a fair bit. 402 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,240 Rohit Shetty films usually do OK, but this is this has been a 403 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:32,080 few more than that. Yeah, makes sense. 404 00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:35,280 Say what you will about him, but he's laughing all the way to the 405 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,560 bank. Anyway, going back to this, the 406 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,120 characters appearance, clothing and mannerisms were inspired by 407 00:22:40,120 --> 00:22:43,600 Marconi, the Italian character played by the late Sujit Kumar 408 00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,960 in The Great Gambler. This is apparently the character 409 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,400 that has appeared through all 5 films and when I was going 410 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,840 through the Wikipedia credits, apparently in one movie he's 411 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:56,640 credited as Akri Pasta slash Pehla Pasta. 412 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,040 Double roll I'm guessing. So I'm confused, but I don't 413 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,120 want to clear the confusion by actually watching the movie. 414 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:04,840 Yeah, why would you? Also, you know what? 415 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,280 I'm not giving Sajid Khan enough credit. 416 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,000 You said Marconi, which kind of sounds like macaroni. 417 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,240 Oh, God, which is a kind of pasta. 418 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:19,560 So I believe this all ties together in the houseful 419 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:25,080 cinematic universe. OK, so that was there was an 420 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,720 interesting piece of trivia. I really like the Akri pasta pun 421 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:29,040 and I thought you would enjoy it. 422 00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,000 You know what, If it was not associated to the Houseful 423 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,800 Films, I would have appreciated it. 424 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,800 OK, no shade to anybody who likes them. 425 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:40,240 You like what you like, but God, Oh my God, that just seems so 426 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:40,960 annoying. All of them. 427 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:42,040 You know what? It's fine. 428 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,040 It's fine. It's fine. 429 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,800 Let's move on. Yeah, Move on. 430 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,560 Move on, move on. OK, hit me with your best shot. 431 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,840 All right, Vineet, we're doing a list and this is a non 432 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,320 exhaustive list. Oh God, I hate you. 433 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,520 Tell me, how are these words connected? 434 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:05,760 Flip, Ding, tick, hip. Flip, tick, Ding and hip. 435 00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:11,560 Yes, I want to say all of them have 4 letters. 436 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,640 No, HIP does not have 4 letters. Oh, I've embarrassed myself. 437 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,440 At least three of them have 4 letters. 438 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,000 I have no clue. Where is this going? 439 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,520 Give you a context now. The fun part about this piece of 440 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:29,000 trivia is that it is one of those things that is pervasive 441 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,880 in our day-to-day life and yet we are not aware of it. 442 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,200 OK, and it has to do with the word itself, the language, 443 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:42,120 English language. Flip hip, Bing and Bing right? 444 00:24:43,120 --> 00:24:45,920 Correct. Isn't that like a surgical flip 445 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,560 procedure called the Bing flip or something? 446 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,920 I don't know again. Again, it's literally language. 447 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,480 It isn't anything. Go with medicine, with science, 448 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,160 with pop culture. None of those things. 449 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,280 Literally language. The English language. 450 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,920 And it's a non exhaustive list You said yes, something to do 451 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,080 with onomatopoeia. The sound of it, in a way, yes, 452 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,360 yeah. Bing, all of them are like 1 453 00:25:07,360 --> 00:25:10,000 syllable, is that it? The syllable part of it is 454 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,840 important, yes. Something related Automatopia 455 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,320 and it's also with the number of syllables or something, the way 456 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:19,520 it sounds like Clue place. You know what, let's just 457 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,760 breakdown what this is. There is a concept X in 458 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,880 languages in general. In the English language, there 459 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:31,520 is a version of X that all English speakers use or abide by 460 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,160 in a way. There are other versions of it 461 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,560 in other languages, especially South Asian languages. 462 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:42,360 So X is a version of it in South Asian languages that pretty much 463 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:45,400 is pervasive across India across all the multiple languages that 464 00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,520 are spoken across India. You who are more familiar with 465 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:53,040 the South Indian languages would also employ it in a slightly 466 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,200 different way. And I more familiar with North 467 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,120 Indian language, is more familiar with Hindi, would 468 00:25:57,120 --> 00:25:58,920 employ it in a slightly different way. 469 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,880 But these are all versions of X. This concept X that applies to 470 00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,880 languages in general. The version of it in question 471 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,160 that is relevant to the list is what is used in English 472 00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,200 language. There is another version of it 473 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,360 that is used in South Asian languages, Indian languages 474 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:17,560 specifically, but I think other languages too. 475 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,440 Would this apply to other Romance languages like French? 476 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,880 I am not too sure, I have only seen this in the context of 477 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,680 English. I don't think it would apply to 478 00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:29,640 French, but hey, any French because of the feel free to 479 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,800 correct me. Initially I thought it might be 480 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:35,560 the fact that words have gender, but English languages don't 481 00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,960 usually do that. Yeah, words in general as part 482 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,760 of grammar do not have gender. I love that concept because I 483 00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:44,280 think there has been a study about how languages which assign 484 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:49,200 a gender to certain nouns which are not biologically gendered. 485 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:51,440 Like a bridge, right? Or a road. 486 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:55,640 If your language assigns gender to it, the adjectives associated 487 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,480 to that noun would become more feminine in nature or masculine 488 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,920 in nature. I think the example was bridge 489 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040 and I'm forgetting what are the 2 languages in question, but in 490 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,880 one of them it's a masculine word and another it's a feminine 491 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,840 word. So in the masculine language the 492 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,360 bridge would be defined as strong, majestic or something 493 00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:14,600 like those would be the adjectives. 494 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,960 Whereas in the feminine language it would be beautiful feminine 495 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,640 sounding injectors. It's very interesting how 496 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:24,120 language changes how you look at even nouns in question, but not 497 00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:26,440 the thing in in our question here. 498 00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:29,160 OK. South Asian language is 499 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:33,800 something similar but different. It's the way we say something, 500 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,960 right? I said syllables are important. 501 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:37,960 You pointed something out to do with syllables. 502 00:27:37,960 --> 00:27:41,280 I said syllables are important. Yeah, literally the vowels in 503 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,080 that. The vowels, all of them have 504 00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,440 just I, oh, I is pronounced as ill in all of this. 505 00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:50,200 That could be a very broad thing. 506 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,040 I'm talking about a specific usage where I changes. 507 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,200 Let's say that whatever was to substitute I. 508 00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:05,040 You want to substitute I in flip, flip, flip, flip. 509 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:09,400 Why are you repeating the word? Flap flip flop. 510 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,920 OK, let me make it even simpler. What if I was to repeat the 511 00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,840 word? Ding Ding, flip, flip, hip, hip. 512 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:22,040 OK, you repeat them and you have like hip hip hurray and Ding 513 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,080 Ding winner winner checking dinner something like. 514 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,040 And flip flip. I don't know, there must be 515 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,920 something. I also mentioned changing the 516 00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,480 vowel right. OK, I'm so confused here right 517 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:35,960 now. Change the vowel but then repeat 518 00:28:35,960 --> 00:28:38,320 the word. Literally just spelt out my 519 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:39,480 answer. Flip flop. 520 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,120 Yeah yeah. Just follow that through flip 521 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,880 flop. Ding Dong hip hop. 522 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:48,360 Oh God. What was the 4th? 523 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,120 1 TikTok. TikTok. 524 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,800 OK, Yeah. So here's the idea. 525 00:28:54,040 --> 00:28:55,760 Reduplication. Have you heard of the word 526 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:57,840 reduplication? Ha, we do it in Hindi also. 527 00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:01,520 No party, Shati. So reduplication is very simple. 528 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:03,280 It's just repeating the word as is, right? 529 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:04,600 Like bye bye. Yeah, OK. 530 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,160 Yeah, yeah. As you mentioned in the South 531 00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,640 Asian languages, in Indian languages there is a party 532 00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:11,120 Shati. I think there is something like 533 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:13,800 that in Tamil as well. But in any case, there are quite 534 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,720 a few Indian languages. I think there is a version of 535 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,480 that in Punjabi and it changes slightly where it might be a 536 00:29:20,560 --> 00:29:23,320 substitution with whatever the first consonant is. 537 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,560 It might change to over or a sure in the reduplication. 538 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,080 That's called echo reduplication. 539 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,960 But that was not the question. The question was about English. 540 00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:37,640 In English, there is a rule that has to do with reduplication. 541 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,640 This specific type of reduplication is called the 542 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:44,480 ablout reduplication. Do you want to take a guess as 543 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:46,320 to what a blout reduplication is? 544 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,520 Whatever I just said earlier, you know, flip flop, that's the 545 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:50,640 thing. That's the thing we're talking 546 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:51,840 about. What does it? 547 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:55,160 Yeah, very good. You're not going to give me an 548 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,520 answer, but giving me examples. You'll be marked down in your 549 00:29:57,520 --> 00:29:59,520 10th board exams if you did that Vineet. 550 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,680 OK, so I'm guessing that when the second word, the vowel has 551 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,800 to be changed to the succeeding vowel or something like that. 552 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,560 Close enough. So I'll just tell you what it 553 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,400 is. There is an order in which that 554 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,280 you can repeat these words. So I will always have to be the 555 00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,640 first vowel and the second one can be O. 556 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,880 That's why it would never make sense to call it down, Ding 557 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:24,600 toxic, even though essentially these are words when repeated 558 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,760 often of sounds same thing, but there's a pattern to it. 559 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,840 It's one of those things. Have you heard of the order of 560 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:31,400 adjectives? There is a certain rule in 561 00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:33,720 English for that as well. Yes, yes, yes. 562 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:37,080 All English speakers abide by where again I'm, I'm forgetting 563 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,760 what the exact one is, but the size and then followed by color 564 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400 and then followed by where it is from. 565 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,160 So you'll say it's a blue German car, right? 566 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,240 You'll not say it's a German blue car. 567 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:51,840 Like that would sound weird. Most English speakers do it 568 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,440 without realizing it. It's the same thing with oblout 569 00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,480 reduplication as well, which I thought was very interesting 570 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,880 that you would say jibber jabber. 571 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,360 You would never ever say jabber jibber. 572 00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,280 And then across all of these reduplications that exist in 573 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:10,120 English which change the vowel slightly, it'll always be a 574 00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:13,920 pattern which follows IA and O. So if there are three words 575 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:16,080 which are repeating, it will always be IAO. 576 00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,680 If not, it will be IO or AO OK and so on as far as a SPLISH 577 00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,040 splash. OK it. 578 00:31:23,040 --> 00:31:27,080 Will never be splash splish because I has to be followed by 579 00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,720 A has to be followed by O. OK, just tell me the order of 580 00:31:29,720 --> 00:31:32,240 those vowels again. I don't know why it was only for 581 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,360 these three vowels that I found most articles Speaking of, but 582 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:40,440 it said IAO. I can't think of examples where 583 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:45,680 E or U is used. In any case, it is IAO, which is 584 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:48,440 also interesting because to an English speaker you'll have all 585 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:51,400 sorts of words, right? Chit chat, crisscross, dilly, 586 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,560 dally, fiddle, faddle, flim, flim flam, flim flam. 587 00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,280 Both these words individually don't really mean anything, but 588 00:31:57,280 --> 00:32:01,840 together they sound reasonable to an English speaker because of 589 00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,680 this particular unspoken rule. These are very interesting. 590 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,880 And of course, the most famous example in pop culture of that 591 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,760 is King Kong. It would not have made sense to 592 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,840 call it Tom King. Very true. 593 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,120 OK, so now I know what an oblatory duplication is. 594 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,600 You do, you do so. I'm going to take you far away 595 00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,680 from all of that. I'm going to take you into the 596 00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,840 world of a mockumentary which has featured on this podcast 597 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:25,280 before. Lovely. 598 00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:28,320 This is Spinal Tap. We've discussed it on the 599 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,040 podcast, I think many, many episodes before. 600 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,520 But have you seen the particular mockumentary? 601 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,760 Even more disappointed and the fact that another film I've not 602 00:32:38,760 --> 00:32:41,920 seen and also the maker of the film passed away recently. 603 00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:45,440 But great film from what I know. Fair enough. 604 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:47,880 We haven't seen the film because I'm going to tell you about it. 605 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,360 Perfect. For those who don't know, This 606 00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,520 Is Spinal Tap is a mock documentary or mockumentary 607 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:56,520 about a fading British heavy metal band called Spinal Tap. 608 00:32:56,880 --> 00:33:00,040 It follows them on a disastrous American comeback tour. 609 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:04,360 The film follows the clueless band members as shrinking 610 00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:07,320 audiences. Botched strange props, clashing 611 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:11,160 egos, interfering girlfriends, they all kind of wreak havoc on 612 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,320 the tour while they remain convinced of their own 613 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:16,760 greatness. The movie ends with the group 614 00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,600 improbably getting a second life when they become unexpectedly 615 00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,400 popular in Japan. The movie features a running gag 616 00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,800 where the band's drummers die in increasingly bizarre and absurd 617 00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:34,240 ways. John Stumpy Peppis died in a 618 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:37,920 bizarre gardening accident that authorities deemed it best be 619 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,160 left unsolved. Eric Stumpy. 620 00:33:41,160 --> 00:33:44,840 Joe Childs choked on somebody else's vomit. 621 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:50,720 Peter James Bond spontaneously combusted on stage at a Blues 622 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:53,560 Festival, leaving behind only a green stain. 623 00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:58,560 The current drummer, Mick Shrimpton, meets the same 624 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,600 explosive fate during the film's climax, perpetuating the curse. 625 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,480 OK. So now you have an idea what the 626 00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:06,400 movie is about and the running gag in the movie. 627 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:13,760 The movie and this running gag inspired a major plot point in a 628 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,360 very large popular culture phenomenon. 629 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:21,480 What did it inspire? Well, because you spoke of the 630 00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,199 drummer dying in increasingly bizarre ways. 631 00:34:24,560 --> 00:34:28,000 I can only think of another character who dies all the time, 632 00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,440 and that is South Park Kenny. Oh, no, no, good guess. 633 00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:33,719 But no, it's not South Park, Kenny. 634 00:34:33,880 --> 00:34:35,480 Oh, OK. All right. 635 00:34:35,600 --> 00:34:37,199 Yeah. Well, Kenny is known to 636 00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,360 frequently die, especially in the earlier seasons, in very, 637 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:46,080 very strange ways. But it doesn't have to do with 638 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,360 the character that dies or, or characters that have died 639 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:50,920 multiple times. Or is it something else? 640 00:34:51,719 --> 00:34:54,920 So it's not just dying, it's just unfortunate things 641 00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:58,120 happening. But has this character died in 642 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:01,640 the span of this whatever pop culture thing is movie series, 643 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,960 whatever it is book? Only one of them has died. 644 00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,240 OK. No, actually, two of them have 645 00:35:06,240 --> 00:35:08,280 died. Two of them have died, OK if 646 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,000 memory serves me right. I thought I nailed it with 647 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,240 Kenny, but if not Kenny. Oh, it's something you know much 648 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,800 better than Kenny. I think if anything this episode 649 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,560 has proven is the fact that you don't know what I know. 650 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,800 You're making wild assumptions about things I know. 651 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:25,720 I absolutely know that you know this. 652 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:27,760 Right. Let's just do process of 653 00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,280 elimination. Is it ATV show? 654 00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:32,240 Is it a movie? Yes. 655 00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:39,040 OK TV show and a movie. I'm being a little facetious 656 00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,360 there. I could technically provide a 657 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,400 clarification, but I'm not going to because you're not 658 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,080 technically wrong. Neither am I technically wrong 659 00:35:45,080 --> 00:35:48,520 when I said yes. OK, this pop culture thing spans 660 00:35:48,520 --> 00:35:50,960 much more than movies and or ATV show. 661 00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,240 Oh, OK, Is it Deadpool? Oh, it's not. 662 00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:58,240 It's not. I will give you one more clue. 663 00:35:59,240 --> 00:36:00,720 Let me rephrase one part of the question. 664 00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,000 I mentioned that this movie and this running gag inspired 665 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:09,000 something a major plot point in a very large and very popular 666 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,800 pop culture phenomenon. I'm going to rephrase that and 667 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,080 say that it inspired something a major plot point in and IP, 668 00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:20,480 which was the basis for the ninth highest grossing media 669 00:36:20,480 --> 00:36:24,720 franchise in the world. Ninth highest grossing media 670 00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,800 franchise. This is not James Bond, right? 671 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:32,400 No, but also this final type is after the James Bond novel, so 672 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:35,600 it doesn't make sense. Is it Harry? 673 00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:38,840 Potter, let's assume that you're right and it's Harry Potter. 674 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:41,240 What plot point did this? Oh my. 675 00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:45,960 God, is it the Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers? 676 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:47,600 Exactly. Wow. 677 00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:52,200 For all you Harry Potter nerds, the answer is that according to 678 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:55,240 JK Rowling, the curse of the Defense Against the Dark Arts 679 00:36:55,240 --> 00:37:00,680 teachers was inspired by Spinal Tap drummers dying in bizarre 680 00:37:00,680 --> 00:37:03,400 circumstances, and she's explicitly stated this. 681 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:06,360 This is not a conspiracy theory, she's explicitly stated this 682 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:10,840 that this was her inspiration. That every Hogwarts Dada 683 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,720 professor suffers misfortune or quitting before the year's end. 684 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,360 If you look at it, Quirrell was possessed and killed by 685 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:20,280 Voldemort 9192. Lockhart was obliviated by his 686 00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:22,920 own spell which backfired on him 9293. 687 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:27,320 Lupin was exposed werewolf and had to resign 9394. 688 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:31,640 Moody was impersonated and kidnapped 9495. 689 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:39,760 Ambridge was attacked by centers in 9596 and Snip was basically 690 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,800 then became actually he did a progress from being the Dada 691 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,720 professor to the principal. So technically no misfortune 692 00:37:45,720 --> 00:37:48,880 happened to him while he was in the post, but he ended up dead 693 00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,560 at the hands of Nagini. That is in 9697. 694 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:54,480 True, true. The 7th book one also died 695 00:37:54,480 --> 00:37:56,320 during the Battle of Hogwarts, if I'm not wrong. 696 00:37:56,320 --> 00:37:58,120 The teacher who was, Yeah. Yeah, yeah. 697 00:37:58,120 --> 00:37:59,720 I think it was the caros I think it was. 698 00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,560 One of the caros who had made it, instead of Dada, it was just 699 00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:04,160 dark arts. They were just teaching the kids 700 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,240 dark arts, making them try the to share this curse on each 701 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:09,680 other and stuff. Wow. 702 00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:11,160 Yeah, Harry Potter sticks with you. 703 00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:13,160 Do you know the origin of the curse? 704 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,160 Oh yeah, the origin I remember it's because Voldemort wanted it 705 00:38:16,160 --> 00:38:19,440 and Dumbledore turned him down. So Dumbledore has never found 706 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:21,240 another person who could stick with it. 707 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,240 I assume once Voldemort died, yeah, the curse lifted. 708 00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:28,720 Yes, you would imagine, but I have to ask the Canon head. 709 00:38:28,800 --> 00:38:31,280 Yeah, she keeps changing things, so we're not very exactly be 710 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:34,120 sure about anything. Not currently. 711 00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:37,080 Also very popular. For all the wrong reasons. 712 00:38:37,200 --> 00:38:39,480 But wow, that's pretty cool. I love that. 713 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,760 And because at least the Harry Potter thing is is obviously 714 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,080 iconic. Everybody knows that. 715 00:38:44,080 --> 00:38:48,440 And I did not come from this presumably great movie, which 716 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:50,160 I've not seen. Yeah, it is very funny. 717 00:38:50,400 --> 00:38:52,800 I think it had the sequel also which came out last year. 718 00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:56,320 I've not watched the sequel. Spinal Tap 2 The End continues 719 00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:58,480 the 2025 American mockumentary comedy film. 720 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,520 Oh, this 2025? And it was, I think, the last 721 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,080 film that Rob Reiner directed before he passed away, 722 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,600 unfortunately. OK, I have to watch this. 723 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:10,080 But lovely piece of trivia and another movie I've not seen. 724 00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,880 But that's three on three for for all your questions. 725 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:17,760 So far, no other films I've seen, but great pieces of trivia 726 00:39:17,760 --> 00:39:20,920 nonetheless. OK, you know what I'm going to 727 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:24,000 tell you about a film that I think you would probably have 728 00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:28,160 not seen, but it relates to a hopefully new piece of trivia, 729 00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,280 at least an interesting piece of trivia. 730 00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:32,680 For you, OK. Do you know which film was? 731 00:39:32,680 --> 00:39:35,400 As a lot of films are when they're distributed, they are 732 00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:38,880 not distributed under their original name for secrecy 733 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:42,840 purposes for it not be leaked. So which film was distributed 734 00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:48,920 under the name Wardrobe? If I were to guess, was it 735 00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,200 something like Hairspray? Think of a film which has a lot 736 00:39:52,200 --> 00:39:54,960 to do with outfits. The Devil Wears Prada. 737 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:56,880 Great guess. That would have been my first 738 00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:59,520 guess as well. But no, not Devil Wears Prada. 739 00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,800 I am referring to a movie which has literally, Again, it's not 740 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:07,160 the most famous of films. It is what quote UN quote people 741 00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:10,200 call chick flick. I have not seen this particular 742 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,400 one, but I do like the genre in general. 743 00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:17,040 This one stars Katherine Heigl. Heigl Heigl. 744 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,640 I'm not sure. 40 year old virgin. 745 00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:21,640 No, I, like I said, something to do with the outfits. 746 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:23,760 Which is the one where she was pregnant? 747 00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:25,080 Is it? Knocked. 748 00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:25,360 Up. Yeah. 749 00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:26,600 Knocked up. I think it's knocked up. 750 00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:29,880 No, no, not knocked up either. Never liked Katherine Heigl 751 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:32,320 much, I just find her performances a little 752 00:40:32,920 --> 00:40:34,400 disingenuous to me, but I don't know. 753 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,640 Wow, that I think that's all the Katherine Heigl films that I 754 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:39,240 know. OK, you know what? 755 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,120 Perhaps not the most important piece of trivia associated with 756 00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:45,040 this, but the film is 27 dresses. 757 00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,120 OK, yeah, I've heard of the movie. 758 00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:48,240 I've not seen it. I've not. 759 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,120 I've never seen the movie. So. 760 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:54,640 Apparently the wardrobe team on the film struggled to find 761 00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,680 dresses which fit her badly because she was so in shape that 762 00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,960 all outfits looked great on her. Yeah, now that's a problem you 763 00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:02,800 should be having. That's the kind of problem I 764 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:04,640 would like. Wouldn't we all love that? 765 00:41:04,720 --> 00:41:07,240 But OK, not the trivia in question. 766 00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,480 Now, the basis of this film or the idea behind this film, or 767 00:41:11,480 --> 00:41:15,040 the synopsis or the one line summary of this film is 768 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:21,800 something that was inspired by an ad back in the 1920s or the 769 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:25,000 idea was popularized by an ad back in the 1920s. 770 00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,760 What is the idea behind this film if you know? 771 00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:30,760 And what ad am I referring to back in the 1920s? 772 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,440 So there's an idea behind the movie 27 Dresses, which came 773 00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,560 from an advertisement in the 1920s. 774 00:41:38,000 --> 00:41:41,240 So this is an idea that has been there in the zeitgeist for 775 00:41:41,240 --> 00:41:44,040 whatever, however long. It didn't originate with the ad, 776 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,040 but it was popularized by this ad. 777 00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:48,200 I haven't watched the movie but if I remember the plot synopsis, 778 00:41:48,440 --> 00:41:51,560 she is somebody who's always the bridesmaid and never the bride. 779 00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:53,960 Perfect, that is exactly the idea. 780 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:55,760 Always the bridesmaid, never the bride. 781 00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,640 She's been a bridesmaid 27 times. 782 00:41:57,640 --> 00:41:59,960 She's never been the bride. That was basically the synopsis 783 00:41:59,960 --> 00:42:03,360 of the film. OK, So what ad am I talking 784 00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:08,240 about? I was listening to Stuff You 785 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:09,880 Should Know. I was listening to one of their 786 00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:15,760 earlier episodes in which they had mentioned that there were 787 00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:21,120 ads when they started advertising deodorants so you 788 00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:22,880 can come closer, that kind of thing. 789 00:42:22,880 --> 00:42:25,360 Was it something like that or a perfume? 790 00:42:25,560 --> 00:42:26,960 Two things. Stuff you should know. 791 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:30,520 Amazing podcast. But in this case, no, we are not 792 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,480 talking about deodorant. But you're very, very close. 793 00:42:34,160 --> 00:42:36,000 Pun intended. You are very close. 794 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,240 So something of that similar toothpaste mouthwash. 795 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,320 Mouthwash. Is the answer. 796 00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:45,120 Perfect. So this is a Listerine ad from 797 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,840 the 20s which popularized the idea. 798 00:42:47,840 --> 00:42:52,280 Always the bridesmaid, never the bride because you have bad odor 799 00:42:52,280 --> 00:42:54,360 coming from your mouth. Halitosis. 800 00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:58,560 Halitosis, an idea which didn't exist before that which is not a 801 00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,240 medical term to begin with. Literally Listerine came up with 802 00:43:02,240 --> 00:43:06,400 halitosis to sell Listerine. Wow, there was number such thing 803 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,880 as halitosis before that, and the AD geniuses behind it were 804 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,560 like, you know what, let's give it a name. 805 00:43:11,560 --> 00:43:13,480 Of course people knew of bad breath. 806 00:43:13,880 --> 00:43:15,680 It is that it didn't have a name as such. 807 00:43:15,680 --> 00:43:18,960 And halitosis made it sound like it's a thing that needs to be 808 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,440 addressed. It's a medical issue that needs 809 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,480 to be addressed and Listerine with its, you know, chemical 810 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,400 formula is here to save your day and save your life and get you 811 00:43:27,400 --> 00:43:29,760 to be the bride now. On the same episode they were 812 00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:34,360 saying that apparently body order didn't used to be a social 813 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,280 taboo thing until the 50s. It seems that's why people 814 00:43:37,280 --> 00:43:40,120 started explaining deodorants and antiperspirants. 815 00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:43,600 OK, I obviously not a historian by any means, but I would 816 00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:46,880 imagine body odor would always have been a thing. 817 00:43:46,880 --> 00:43:49,960 Like if somebody does have very strong body odor and sometimes 818 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:53,560 it is a medical condition that would have been socially 819 00:43:53,560 --> 00:43:56,200 unacceptable or or made your pariah of sorts. 820 00:43:56,480 --> 00:44:00,000 But perhaps when when things just don't have a commonly 821 00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,600 accepted sort of way to speak about it. 822 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,360 The idea that it's called Bo, body odor, I think maybe that 823 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:08,480 gave it possible, possible corporeal form. 824 00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:12,200 So 27 dresses. The idea was from a Listerine 825 00:44:12,200 --> 00:44:14,160 commercial. Back in the 20s. 826 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:16,080 Now, that's not where the phrase first came. 827 00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:19,840 I think it came from some other song, maybe a couple of decades 828 00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,840 ago. But Listerine made this idea, 829 00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:24,720 and it's not just 27 dresses. A lot of places, a lot of 830 00:44:24,720 --> 00:44:26,120 spaces. You'll hear of this concept of 831 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,520 like, oh, she's always the bridesmaid, never the bride. 832 00:44:28,720 --> 00:44:31,320 But it isn't always used in the context of bad breath. 833 00:44:31,320 --> 00:44:34,600 It's sometimes like, oh, she's a bad luck or, or she's not the 834 00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:38,800 chosen one or yada, yada, yada. Yeah, but it all came from this 835 00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:40,640 idea of bad breath. Yeah. 836 00:44:40,720 --> 00:44:44,560 Listerine just making everybody conscious of how bad that breath 837 00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:47,560 smells. Wow, nice question, Very nice 838 00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,080 question. I did not know that. 839 00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:53,520 So Let's Screen was responsible for half the bridal industry 840 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,080 now. Yeah, I guess you could say 841 00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:58,040 that. OK, very nice. 842 00:44:58,440 --> 00:45:02,080 So I'm going to ask my last question for the name this I am 843 00:45:02,080 --> 00:45:04,920 guaranteeing I know for a fact that you will be able to answer 844 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:09,160 this like in two seconds. But I just found this trivia so 845 00:45:09,720 --> 00:45:11,920 fascinating that I was like, I have to ask it on this podcast. 846 00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:17,040 OK, so in the late 1950s a devastating famine triggered by 847 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:21,160 bamboo flowering and the resulting rat plague ravaged the 848 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,760 Lushai Hills, giving rise to a relief movement that soon 849 00:45:25,760 --> 00:45:30,200 evolved into the Mizo National Front under their leader 850 00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:33,280 Laldenga. This is in Missouri, present day 851 00:45:33,280 --> 00:45:35,920 Missouri. What followed was a prolonged 852 00:45:35,920 --> 00:45:40,600 insurgency, including a dramatic uprising in 1966 marked by the 853 00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:44,440 brief capture of key towns and cross-border operations into 854 00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,200 Myanmar. 2 decades later, at the height of the conflict, when the 855 00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:52,600 rebel leadership was effectively holding the Indian state to 856 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:59,480 ransom, X executed a covert operation by infiltrating the 857 00:45:59,480 --> 00:46:05,360 Mizo National Army's leadership network and quietly turning 6 of 858 00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:09,720 Laldenga 7 closest aid. With the insurgency fractured 859 00:46:09,720 --> 00:46:13,480 from within, Laldenga was forced to negotiate, leading to the 860 00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:17,920 landmark peace accord of 1986. So my question is who? 861 00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:23,560 Was X What is the time period? 1986, no 1980s basically. 862 00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:25,200 No, I don't know because I get to run there. 863 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,600 Is it Ajit Doval by any chance? Yes, it is Ajit Doval. 864 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,080 Oh, OK. I found the story fascinating. 865 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,720 OK, just imagine. We watched the movie. 866 00:46:33,720 --> 00:46:36,320 Obviously, some parts of it is real, some part of its fiction. 867 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:38,520 We don't know what is what, but it's a good movie, so we watch 868 00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:41,200 it for its merit. But the fact that this man talks 869 00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:43,960 about infiltrating the very core of the terrorism in Pakistan and 870 00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:46,880 all this is a guy who's actually done something similar. 871 00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:50,240 Ajit Doval, operating under the code name Abu Dhabi. 872 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:54,440 Yeah. We hosted key leaders of the 873 00:46:54,440 --> 00:46:57,680 Mizo National Army at his residence in Aizawal for private 874 00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,560 dinners and strategic conversations. 875 00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,520 These gatherings allowed him to build trust and subtly persuade 876 00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:09,360 6 out of Laldinga, 7 closest commanders and AIDS, including 877 00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:12,400 notable figures like Lian Sanga and Tom Funga. 878 00:47:12,880 --> 00:47:16,240 Excuse my pronunciation. He basically convinced them to 879 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:20,000 defect from the insurgency. This infiltration occurred while 880 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:24,320 Laldenga, the MNF founder and exile leader, operated from 881 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,160 camps within Myanmar. The world's personal approach, 882 00:47:28,160 --> 00:47:30,880 which was marked by cultural sensitivity and direct 883 00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:34,440 engagement, fractured the organization's inner circle, 884 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,440 leaving Laldenga isolated and vulnerable. 885 00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:41,760 In January 1986, Doval extended a formal invitation for Laldenga 886 00:47:41,760 --> 00:47:44,920 to initiate direct talks with Indian authorities, signaling a 887 00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:48,240 pathway to negotiation. These efforts culminated in the 888 00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:52,480 historic Mizoram Peace Accord signed on June 30th, 1986 889 00:47:52,680 --> 00:47:55,560 between Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Laldenga in New 890 00:47:55,560 --> 00:47:58,040 Delhi. The signing was broadcast live 891 00:47:58,040 --> 00:48:01,240 on national television, symbolizing the end of 20 years 892 00:48:01,240 --> 00:48:04,280 of violence. The accord granted Mizoram full 893 00:48:04,280 --> 00:48:07,120 statehood effective February 20th, 1987. 894 00:48:07,800 --> 00:48:12,360 A general amnesty for over 3700 militants who surrendered their 895 00:48:12,360 --> 00:48:14,760 arms and rehabilitation packages. 896 00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:18,360 Transforming Mizoram from a conflict zone into one of 897 00:48:18,360 --> 00:48:21,720 India's most peaceful states with a very high literacy rate 898 00:48:21,720 --> 00:48:26,000 of 91% and low crime. Because one man infiltrated the 899 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:27,840 very core of terrorism in Mizoram. 900 00:48:28,920 --> 00:48:30,320 Not terrorism, obviously they were. 901 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:31,760 I don't know what to call them, an insurgency. 902 00:48:33,240 --> 00:48:34,480 Right. Interesting. 903 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,880 I thought that was a good question to put in there you. 904 00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:40,080 Know I've seen some clips of Ajit Doval talking about the 905 00:48:40,080 --> 00:48:42,960 time when he was in Pakistan also, so I think he has some 906 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,080 experience there as well. OK, I wanted to add that to this 907 00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:48,960 question but because I don't have like authoritative sources 908 00:48:48,960 --> 00:48:52,120 on it, I haven't. The story is that he spent some 909 00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,880 6-7 years in Pakistan and story goes again, I don't know if this 910 00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,000 is true or not, that he used to sit or basically lounge near 911 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,800 Barber shops close to where Pakistan's nuclear research was 912 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:06,720 going on and he used to collect the hair clippings of the 913 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:11,160 scientists who were. To see how much radiation 914 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,240 they're exposed to. Yeah, the isotopes could be 915 00:49:13,240 --> 00:49:15,880 detected in the hair. So the concentration of isotopes 916 00:49:15,880 --> 00:49:17,880 and the timeline of that could be detected from the hair. 917 00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:20,640 So. Apparently he gathered that and 918 00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:24,480 that was analysed by Indian scientists and apparently that 919 00:49:24,800 --> 00:49:27,400 helped in slowing down their nuclear program. 920 00:49:27,760 --> 00:49:29,280 Again, I don't know if this is true do. 921 00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:31,440 You know what, I don't care if it's true or not. 922 00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,520 It's a great fun story, right? Like, of course, don't take it 923 00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:35,440 as fact if it doesn't have any corroboration. 924 00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:37,520 Yeah, it's a great story. And here's what I realized 925 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:39,120 recently. Somebody articulated it to me 926 00:49:39,120 --> 00:49:40,960 and I was like, oh, this makes so much sense as I go during. 927 00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,120 That is a good film. And they're like, Durinder is 928 00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:44,920 not a spy film. And it's like, that is so true. 929 00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:48,200 Durander is just a gang film. It's that, yeah, it's a crime. 930 00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:51,920 It's a crime film because he doesn't do any spy stuff in it. 931 00:49:51,920 --> 00:49:54,320 Like literally the only thing he does is like, I've sent 932 00:49:54,320 --> 00:49:56,200 information to India. You don't even find out how he 933 00:49:56,200 --> 00:49:58,160 sent it. Is doing it via this other guy 934 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,120 who he leaves one note for. Literally the only spy thing we 935 00:50:01,120 --> 00:50:04,640 see him do is leave a note at one point and pass some 936 00:50:04,640 --> 00:50:06,600 information. Unlike other spy films where 937 00:50:06,600 --> 00:50:08,600 you're like, oh, my God, that is such a smart way. 938 00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,120 Like when he's just said this, even if it's not true, to make 939 00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,000 for such a great novel or for such a great movie moment where 940 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:17,120 you're like, he figures out how to calculate the isotopes and 941 00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:19,760 the chemicals that they're working with with the hair. 942 00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:21,600 But that is some ingenious stuff. 943 00:50:21,640 --> 00:50:23,120 Yeah. And yeah, Ranveer Singh is just 944 00:50:23,120 --> 00:50:25,520 doing some gang stuff, right? Like, oh, let's kill that 945 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,480 person. Let's kill that person, which is 946 00:50:27,560 --> 00:50:29,960 fun for a gang film. It's not not a spy film. 947 00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:35,440 The classical the oldest spy thing or trick that you can talk 948 00:50:35,440 --> 00:50:39,080 about is clearly depicted in the movie Disappearing Ink. 949 00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:42,960 How could you forget that? That's the oldest spite rope in 950 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:44,800 the book. That is so lame. 951 00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,160 Like I think that is one of the lamest things that the whole 952 00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,160 movie did, which is like how I'm going to secretly write in this 953 00:50:50,360 --> 00:50:52,320 and that disappearing. That was super lame. 954 00:50:52,520 --> 00:50:55,120 But what I do think Duranda 2, whatever is called revenge or 955 00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,640 something, it's called from whatever rushes and trailers 956 00:50:57,640 --> 00:50:59,920 that have been visible, you see, when he's training for it and 957 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:01,760 stuff. So I guess that might bring in 958 00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:05,040 the spy angle more of how he prepared not being a Baloch. 959 00:51:05,080 --> 00:51:06,560 How did he prepare to become Baloch? 960 00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:08,440 And you know, the smarts required for that. 961 00:51:08,440 --> 00:51:11,040 But that's when I'm like, OK, that's a smart character that I 962 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:12,240 am interested to know more about. 963 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:16,280 I'm fairly sure that they have inserted certain things in the 964 00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:19,600 first movie which will bear fruit in the second. 965 00:51:19,880 --> 00:51:22,640 I hope so. First film just felt like a gang 966 00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:24,520 warfare film. Yeah, the second film will have 967 00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,720 the spy element, hopefully. No, it's a crime film with 968 00:51:26,720 --> 00:51:28,040 spies. Yeah, you could. 969 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:30,480 It has a spy at the center of it, but it's a crime film. 970 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:32,160 Yeah, fair enough. Good film though. 971 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:35,000 And Ajit Doval, very interesting. 972 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:38,400 Yeah, cool piece of information associated to the man. 973 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,240 Yeah, quite a colorful life is LED with all the stories are to 974 00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:43,560 be believed. There are some fun stories which 975 00:51:43,560 --> 00:51:47,600 I'm keeping aside for others. So moving on to my piece of 976 00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,080 trivia. This is gonna be my last 977 00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:52,640 question though I might have final question to tie things up 978 00:51:52,640 --> 00:51:55,920 together. But the last official question 979 00:51:55,920 --> 00:51:58,760 is again a list. Tell me what this is an 980 00:51:58,760 --> 00:52:00,600 exhaustive list of. OK. 981 00:52:00,880 --> 00:52:06,240 What are these categories for? OK. 1st is pure, then is best, 982 00:52:06,440 --> 00:52:09,480 then is super and the last is silver tip. 983 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:14,480 Pure best, super and silver tip correct? 984 00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:16,680 These are all categories of something. 985 00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,720 Yes. Not leather, Silver tip. 986 00:52:21,560 --> 00:52:24,200 This is an exhaustive list. These are the four categories 987 00:52:24,200 --> 00:52:26,440 and I've given it to you in increasing order. 988 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:30,480 So pure is the lowest and silver tip is the highest. 4 989 00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,280 categories. Pure best super silver tip. 990 00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:35,400 I need a clue. OK, fair enough. 991 00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:39,880 This has to do with an animal in a tangential way, or rather in a 992 00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,000 in an adjacent way. If I was talking about the meat 993 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:45,440 cuts in a Tau, right, I'd be like, oh, this particular part 994 00:52:45,440 --> 00:52:48,680 is the sirloin or striploin or whatever. 995 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:50,760 There are various parts, and they're all given various names. 996 00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,760 Yeah, this has to do with another animal and with a 997 00:52:53,760 --> 00:52:57,360 different anatomy. Not the meat on the animal, but 998 00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:58,880 a different part of their anatomy. 999 00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:02,640 So animal part of their anatomy, these are the different 1000 00:53:02,640 --> 00:53:05,680 gradations of that anatomy. It's not a cow you mentioned 1001 00:53:05,680 --> 00:53:07,680 now. Not a cow, not even meat of an 1002 00:53:07,680 --> 00:53:08,760 animal. It's not a cow. 1003 00:53:08,760 --> 00:53:11,200 It's a different animal. It's not meat of that animal. 1004 00:53:11,200 --> 00:53:12,720 It's a different part of that body. 1005 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,600 Is it a Tusk? Good guess. 1006 00:53:15,760 --> 00:53:17,480 I would say. Pretty warm, yeah. 1007 00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:19,200 Getting there, the silver tip should lead you there. 1008 00:53:19,200 --> 00:53:20,360 I think that's how you go to Tusk. 1009 00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,120 But silver tip should lead you to what it is, which is in Tusk. 1010 00:53:24,720 --> 00:53:27,560 Horse tails. Oh, very very close. 1011 00:53:27,560 --> 00:53:30,440 Horse tails are also relevant to this question, but we aren't 1012 00:53:30,440 --> 00:53:32,160 gotten there yet. Very, very close. 1013 00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:33,880 You're ractically there? What part of the body you're 1014 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,640 talking about? The tail basically. 1015 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:39,960 So not the tails, but the trunk. No, I didn't mean like which end 1016 00:53:39,960 --> 00:53:42,120 of the animal. Why were you great, Trunks? 1017 00:53:42,360 --> 00:53:44,440 Hey, listen, you get great tongue, somebody might go to 1018 00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,720 great trunks man like just. Hoofs, hoofs, horse hoof. 1019 00:53:47,760 --> 00:53:49,080 It's not a horse weather I'm so sorry. 1020 00:53:49,080 --> 00:53:51,080 Horse is not the animal in question. 1021 00:53:51,240 --> 00:53:53,360 I'll tell you how horse tail hair is relevant. 1022 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,280 OK, but you practically said what it was right? 1023 00:53:56,280 --> 00:53:58,440 Like horse tails. So why would you say tail when 1024 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:00,400 you hear silver tape? What part of the tail? 1025 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:02,680 The tip of the tail. I mean, like the hair. 1026 00:54:02,680 --> 00:54:05,400 The tail hair, Yeah. Oh, this is fur. 1027 00:54:06,000 --> 00:54:08,600 Fur, but this is for a specific animal. 1028 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,600 OK, do you know which animal I'm talking about? 1029 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:13,720 Is it like a Beaver or something? 1030 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:16,600 I'll give it to you. It's a badger. 1031 00:54:16,600 --> 00:54:17,680 It's not a Beaver, it's a badger. 1032 00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,240 It's a badger. OK, OK, a badger. 1033 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:23,480 So the pure part of the pure graduation is given to the hair 1034 00:54:23,480 --> 00:54:28,800 from the underbelly of a badger. OK and silver tip is the rarest 1035 00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:32,160 part of the body or or rather the least amount of hair on a 1036 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:37,880 badger, and it is the most coveted part of the fur. 1037 00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:40,800 So why is it given this graduation? 1038 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,960 Where is the fur of a badger used? 1039 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:48,480 Hats like caps for caps. Decent. 1040 00:54:48,480 --> 00:54:49,040 Guess what? No. 1041 00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:50,960 Brushes. Paint brushes. 1042 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:55,360 Warmer, warmer, warmer beard brushes. 1043 00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:59,240 What do you mean by beard brush? So you get those kind of small 1044 00:54:59,240 --> 00:55:01,800 things with, you know, natural fur hair that you used to comb 1045 00:55:01,800 --> 00:55:04,280 through your beard. Oh, OK, OK, well you're the 1046 00:55:04,280 --> 00:55:06,360 beard expert, so I don't want to challenge you too much on it, 1047 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,440 but I'm not talking about it has something to do with beards, but 1048 00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:11,080 not a brush, not a beard brush. Fake. 1049 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:12,520 Beards. No, no. 1050 00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:15,240 What do you do with beards? I mean, you haven't done it in a 1051 00:55:15,240 --> 00:55:17,080 while, but what do most people do with beards? 1052 00:55:17,400 --> 00:55:19,840 Trim you trim, You trim your beard, you trim your beard. 1053 00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:22,400 You don't even trim it. Like OK fine, here you can trim 1054 00:55:22,400 --> 00:55:24,280 your beard, but what do most people do when they want to? 1055 00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:26,960 Shave their beard. Oh, this is a shaving brush. 1056 00:55:27,320 --> 00:55:29,920 A shaving brush. Shaving brushes are 1057 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:33,200 traditionally made out of badger fur badger. 1058 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:38,480 Oh my God, these are the four gradations of badger hair 1059 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,240 shaving brushes. So there are alternatives also, 1060 00:55:41,240 --> 00:55:44,480 and you very coincidentally mentioned one of them. 1061 00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,640 The horse's tail hair can also be used in solid brushes, but a 1062 00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:50,200 badger hair is specifically used. 1063 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,800 I had no idea badger hair is specifically used in shaving 1064 00:55:52,800 --> 00:55:56,200 brushes classically. So all shaving brushes, at least 1065 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:59,440 the classical ones or the traditional ones, have only had 1066 00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:02,840 exclusively badger hair on them and these are the gradations of 1067 00:56:02,840 --> 00:56:04,440 it. We start with pure, which is the 1068 00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:08,360 most common form of the hair or common hair and then we go to 1069 00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:12,200 best super and silver tip which is the rarest type of badger 1070 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,640 hair and these are gradations of shaving brush. 1071 00:56:16,120 --> 00:56:19,000 OK, I'm waiting for the punch line. 1072 00:56:19,320 --> 00:56:21,040 This is a punch line. It's interesting. 1073 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:23,040 Did you know that shaving brushes are made out of badger 1074 00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:24,800 hair? What do you mean punch line? 1075 00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:30,120 No, no, I'm guessing that you have a reason for talking about 1076 00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:31,920 Badgers. By the way, you should probably 1077 00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:33,760 mention what a badger is to people who don't know. 1078 00:56:34,080 --> 00:56:37,320 Yeah, fair enough, but do not explain exactly what a badger 1079 00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:38,240 is. Best to look it up. 1080 00:56:38,240 --> 00:56:41,960 It kind of is from the skunk family or the weasel family, 1081 00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,080 similar to those animals. That's what I'm getting off. 1082 00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:47,600 A quick glance of Wikipedia, probably recognize it if you 1083 00:56:47,600 --> 00:56:49,720 see. So yeah, all the shaving brushes 1084 00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:52,520 that you probably see in your your Barber shop, if they're not 1085 00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,360 made synthetically, because there are synthetic ones 1086 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:56,360 available as well. The traditional ones, the 1087 00:56:56,360 --> 00:56:59,520 natural ones have always been made using badger hair. 1088 00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:01,280 And I thought that was interesting, even if Vineet 1089 00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,720 doesn't agree. No, I mean like it's 1090 00:57:03,720 --> 00:57:05,080 interesting. I'm just waiting. 1091 00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,120 I'm just trying to figure out what the connection is because 1092 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:09,160 I'm fairly sure you've been asking these questions with an 1093 00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:12,240 agenda. Hey listen, I think it was 1094 00:57:12,240 --> 00:57:14,520 revealed in the last episode that I do think of the title of 1095 00:57:14,520 --> 00:57:17,360 the episode beforehand. I have an episode title in mind 1096 00:57:17,360 --> 00:57:18,960 already. Do you want to take a guess as 1097 00:57:18,960 --> 00:57:22,000 to what the episode title is? Reduplication. 1098 00:57:22,640 --> 00:57:26,160 Badger hair 27 dresses Listerine. 1099 00:57:27,040 --> 00:57:30,800 I'm going to give you one quick question to wrap all of it 1100 00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,080 together. OK, this is a different piece of 1101 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,680 trivia. Have you heard of this insanely 1102 00:57:35,680 --> 00:57:37,960 cool person called Dean Muhammad? 1103 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,600 Dean Muhammad. Yeah. 1104 00:57:40,880 --> 00:57:44,000 Name seems familiar but I can't place it. 1105 00:57:44,200 --> 00:57:47,720 Shampoo. Oh my God, that was very quick. 1106 00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,200 Well, Shampoo is the connection I was going for. 1107 00:57:50,200 --> 00:57:52,080 Let me just tell you what the piece of trivia since you've 1108 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:54,280 ruined this question for me now. OK, Yeah. 1109 00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:57,560 Dean Mohammed was a British Indian traveller, soldier, 1110 00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,760 surgeon, entrepreneur, and one of the most notable early non 1111 00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,720 European immigrants to the western world. 1112 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:07,560 He introduced Indian cuisine to Europe, literally to England. 1113 00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,120 Like he was one of the first few people to start selling chicken 1114 00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:11,640 tikka masala. Or I mean, I don't know if it 1115 00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,480 was chicken tikka masala specifically, but Indian cuisine 1116 00:58:15,040 --> 00:58:19,080 to the white people was was introduced by Dean Mohammed, who 1117 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:22,640 was by the way, born in Patna and at some point over the 1118 00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,040 course of his life found himself in the UK. 1119 00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:30,120 What, apart from Indian cuisine, did Dean Mohammed introduced to 1120 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,800 Europe or to England specifically? 1121 00:58:33,120 --> 00:58:35,720 Shampoo from shampoo? Exactly. 1122 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:37,720 The name was very familiar to me, but I couldn't place it 1123 00:58:37,720 --> 00:58:41,160 immediately. The idea of shampoo or chumpy 1124 00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:44,680 was something that Dean Muhammad, it's very cool, the 1125 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:47,040 number of things. He's also, guess what, he's also 1126 00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:49,560 the first Indian to publish a book in English. 1127 00:58:50,040 --> 00:58:52,240 At least some sources give him credit for that. 1128 00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,480 So such a interesting variety of firsts that he has achieved, 1129 00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,720 like the first Indian restaurant, Indian cuisine, 1130 00:58:58,720 --> 00:59:03,680 introduction to British people and shampoo baths back over 1131 00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:06,840 there in Europe. And also the first book in 1132 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:08,160 English written by an Indian person. 1133 00:59:08,440 --> 00:59:10,480 So a lot of first. Guy very. 1134 00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,000 Cool, little forgotten in history, but worth reading up on 1135 00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:15,600 him. A very interesting person from 1136 00:59:15,600 --> 00:59:17,800 Patna. And now do you know what the 1137 00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:18,960 title of the episode is? Vineet. 1138 00:59:20,680 --> 00:59:24,440 Reduplicating hair using shampoo. 1139 00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,040 Also known as Lather, rinse, repeat. 1140 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:31,960 Oh, oh, OK. Lather, rinse, repeat. 1141 00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,200 Oh, nice. Oh, yeah. 1142 00:59:35,240 --> 00:59:37,600 Oh, yeah. Nice, nice. 1143 00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:39,160 It's growing on me. It's growing on me. 1144 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:41,920 Give it a give it a second. So this is yeah, yeah, 1145 00:59:41,920 --> 00:59:43,600 definitely, definitely. This is really good. 1146 00:59:43,800 --> 00:59:45,440 Really good. Lather, rinse, repeat. 1147 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:47,280 Nice you. Lather with the shaving brush, 1148 00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:50,280 you rinse with the mouthwash, and reduplication is nothing but 1149 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,400 repeating the word yeah. Very nice. 1150 00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:54,720 Very nice. OK, so as we wind up the 1151 00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:56,480 episode, the question that I asked at the beginning of 1152 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:59,120 today's episode, the audience question was the rookie, the 1153 00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:02,040 High Roller, the grease man, the basher, the eye in the sky, the 1154 01:00:02,040 --> 01:00:05,720 getaway, the bankroll, the inside man, the detail man, the 1155 01:00:05,720 --> 01:00:09,360 idea man, the getaway connect. You said the Getaway twice, 1156 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:11,080 right? Yes. 1157 01:00:11,600 --> 01:00:14,400 Interesting. Is it like the Ocean's 11? 1158 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:16,600 It is Ocean's 11. It's Ocean's 11. 1159 01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:18,520 So you have two Getaway drivers, hence the getaway. 1160 01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,280 Getaway twice. There are two wheel men in the 1161 01:00:21,280 --> 01:00:22,240 movie, right? So that's why. 1162 01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,320 So all of these are the descriptions for the characters. 1163 01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:27,160 The rookie was played by Matt Damon, so that kind of thing. 1164 01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,240 So these are the descriptions of the characters who make up the 1165 01:00:30,600 --> 01:00:34,160 Ocean's 11 highest team. You correct that very quickly. 1166 01:00:34,400 --> 01:00:36,840 So let's wrap it up. What's your pop culture 1167 01:00:36,840 --> 01:00:38,880 recommendation for this week? Kangaroo had seen at least one 1168 01:00:38,880 --> 01:00:43,880 film in today's list of trivia. Well, not very common for me, 1169 01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:48,920 but I'll recommend a book and that is by perhaps my favorite 1170 01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,440 Indian author. High praise, or at least the 1171 01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:55,560 Indian author that I have read the most at least. 1172 01:00:55,560 --> 01:01:01,160 And that is Ruskin Bond and his book Death Under the Deodhars is 1173 01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:06,200 a collection of, well, not really murder mysteries, but 1174 01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:12,320 murder seems to happen around her character if Miss Marple was 1175 01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:15,040 not really a detective but just happened to be around. 1176 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,800 Murders happening, Yeah. Miss Papal wasn't really 1177 01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:22,000 detective, you know. She was a just a nosy old lady. 1178 01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:24,600 But at least she had the skills for a detective, or she was just 1179 01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:26,040 like an amateur detective. I guess. 1180 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:28,560 In this case, this lead character who goes by the name 1181 01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,120 of Miss Ripley Bean, doesn't even have the skills for it, but 1182 01:01:31,120 --> 01:01:34,760 just has fantastic memory and a great storytelling skill. 1183 01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,040 So she'll just be recounting stories of crimes and murders 1184 01:01:38,040 --> 01:01:40,960 that she has seen and that under the others is a bunch of those 1185 01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:45,080 stories woven together. Ruskin Bond just love his 1186 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:46,600 writing. I don't know what is it about 1187 01:01:46,600 --> 01:01:49,000 the way he writes. It always feels so to you and 1188 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,640 telling your story. I remember reading Room on the 1189 01:01:51,640 --> 01:01:54,640 Roof for the first time when I was a teenage boy and it's about 1190 01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,320 a teenage boy. It's written by a teenage boy. 1191 01:01:56,600 --> 01:01:59,000 Ruskin Bond himself has said that he has never wanted to 1192 01:01:59,000 --> 01:02:02,200 revise the book because he wrote it as a teenager or or very 1193 01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:06,000 close to being AI think he was like 1819 when he wrote it and 1194 01:02:06,240 --> 01:02:09,520 he didn't want to change the the tone of that writing, even 1195 01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,960 though he would probably write it very differently now in in 1196 01:02:11,960 --> 01:02:15,280 his later stage of his life. So Ruskin Bond, Room on the 1197 01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:18,400 Roof, Vagrants in the Valley, a bunch of a short stories. 1198 01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,960 All of them are so good. Death Under the Others is the 1199 01:02:20,960 --> 01:02:23,560 recent one I read. So go read some Ruskin Bond. 1200 01:02:23,920 --> 01:02:25,840 And he doesn't meet people anymore. 1201 01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:28,840 She's in his 90s. Yeah, he used to go to a 1202 01:02:28,840 --> 01:02:30,480 bookstore. Nearby in in. 1203 01:02:31,040 --> 01:02:34,040 Land or Masuri he used to go there some bookstore. 1204 01:02:34,360 --> 01:02:37,960 I it's been a lifelong dream to go meet him and just, you know 1205 01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,640 one of those people you want to go say thank you to Ruskin Bond 1206 01:02:40,640 --> 01:02:43,440 would be that for me. So yeah, I hope I get to meet 1207 01:02:43,440 --> 01:02:46,080 him someday and say to his face. But if not putting it out of the 1208 01:02:46,080 --> 01:02:47,800 universe. Thank you Ruskin for writing 1209 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:49,800 great books. If I'm correct again, this is 1210 01:02:49,800 --> 01:02:51,200 just a nitpicky thing. He's. 1211 01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:55,320 Not technically Indian. He's a quarter Indian. 1212 01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:57,840 He's an Indian citizen origin not technically. 1213 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,360 So I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 1214 01:03:00,360 --> 01:03:03,280 Did I say anything? About his race, I said an Indian 1215 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:06,680 author, OK, take care, take care, chalo chalo so. 1216 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:10,160 My pop culture recommendation for this week is this really 1217 01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:14,080 easily bingeable show I watched the other day 6 episodes. 1218 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,560 It went by in a flash and I really enjoyed it. 1219 01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:21,760 It's called Steel, it's available on Prime Video, Amazon 1220 01:03:21,760 --> 01:03:24,400 prime. It talks about a heist that 1221 01:03:24,400 --> 01:03:29,200 happens at a big financial firm and the lead actress is Sophie 1222 01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:33,520 Turner AKA Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones and she practically 1223 01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:37,240 ate to use the Gen. Z alpha terminology. 1224 01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:40,600 She did a fantastic job. I really enjoyed the series, 1225 01:03:40,840 --> 01:03:43,520 watched it in one setting. So I would recommend Steel. 1226 01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:48,360 And then for those of you who are not acquainted with some of 1227 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,600 the other movies that we discussed and I would recommend 1228 01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:52,520 that you go, please watch True Lies. 1229 01:03:52,680 --> 01:03:58,120 It is a bombastic a fantastic movie. 1 of Ani's best films 1230 01:03:58,120 --> 01:04:02,840 ever and Terminator 2, Judgement Day by James Cameron, RRR and 1231 01:04:02,920 --> 01:04:05,840 Bahubali the Epic by s s Rajmouli. 1232 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,440 I recommend that you watch all of these. 1233 01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,440 There are other movies in Rajamouli's Oof that you may 1234 01:04:10,480 --> 01:04:14,040 also enjoy, may may not enjoy, but you can go back and watch 1235 01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:16,080 those as well.
