Let me repeat the question, 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,760 which word meaning to plan together secretly is derived 20 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,560 from the Latin for breathe with or breathe together having the 21 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,920 same root as the word respiration? 22 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,560 I will answer this question at the end of today's episode. 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,160 Now it's time for our regular round of quizzing. 24 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:24,680 And Aditya Kashyap, why don't you start us off for this 82nd 25 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:31,200 episode of Are You Quizzing Me? Fun it it feels like it's been a 26 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:35,120 while since we did a good old regular are you quizzing me 27 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:39,960 episode Vineet you and me kicking it old school styles 28 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,000 yes, 82nd episode my every time I say a number, I'm just like, 29 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,800 how have you managed to reach this? 30 00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,280 So that is a question for us to ponder upon, which perhaps 31 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,920 doesn't have an answer, but there are some questions which 32 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:56,160 do have an answer. The first of those questions I'm 33 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,800 going to be asking for this episode has to do with one of my 34 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,120 absolute favorite things. And no, it's not a listicle this 35 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,280 time. It is a pun. 36 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,880 Oh, God, I have a pun for you, my good son. 37 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:12,400 No, you have to guess the pun. In this case. 38 00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:16,520 I'm going to name three people. I'm going to tell you what these 39 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,560 three people are famous for. You might have heard of some of 40 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,720 them. I'm sure you have heard of some 41 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 of them. And you have to tell me, what 42 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,240 was this group of three people called? 43 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,320 What was the nickname that was given to them, which is a pun. 44 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,360 So the first that I'm going to mention is Dian Fossey. 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,240 Dian Fossey, for anybody who doesn't know, was an American 46 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:44,160 primatologist and conservationist who is known for 47 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,440 undertaking an extensive study of mountain gorillas from 1966 48 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,080 until her unfortunate murder in 1985. 49 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,760 Absolutely devastating. A lovely human being, I imagine 50 00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,320 doing some great work for the planet, was murdered, but did do 51 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,680 a significant contribution to science and hopefully will be 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,800 remembered for that. The first person is Diane 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,000 Fossey. The next person I want to talk 54 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:14,400 about is Beirut Galdicas. Beirut Galdicas, who is a 55 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,880 Lithuanian Canadian anthropologist, primatologist, 56 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,480 conservationist, ethologist and author. 57 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Also a professor at Simon Fraser University. 58 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:28,080 She is recognized as a leading authority on orangutans. 59 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:31,600 Now, Vineet, I'm going to let you guess the third person. 60 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160 I think you perhaps have an idea of who the third person in this 61 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,080 list might be. The first one was lady, who is 62 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,840 known for studying gorillas. The second one, scientists known 63 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:43,840 for studying orangutans. The third one would be the most 64 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,040 famous of them all. Chimpanzees. 65 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,240 And who would that be? OK, Am I supposed to know 66 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,480 somebody? Big scientist. 67 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,360 And among the chimpanzee community? 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,080 I don't know. I'm. 69 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,200 I'm blanking. Who are we talking about? 70 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,000 All right. But well, hey, points for 71 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,480 getting chimpanzee of the fly. This would be Jane Goodall. 72 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:07,400 Yes. One of the most famous people 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,120 who has studied chimpanzees. Yes. 74 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,320 Yes. So Jane Goodall, who was 75 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:15,880 formerly the Baroness Jane Goodall is an English zoologist, 76 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,920 primatologist, anthropologist, consider the world's foremost 77 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,160 expert on chimpanzees. After 60 years studying the 78 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680 social and family interactions of wild chimpanzees. 79 00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,920 It is breathtaking and it is mind boggling just the amount of 80 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,480 work this one single person has done for the field of chimpanzee 81 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,040 study. Now three people I mentioned 82 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:41,160 Vineeth, tell me what these three people are known as 83 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,360 collectively. The first one was Dan Fossey, 84 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:44,880 who has studied mountain gorillas. 85 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,800 Second one was Berut Galdikas, who has studied orangutans, and 86 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,200 the last one Jane Goodall, who has studied chimpanzees. 87 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,960 What is this group of three called? 88 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:59,080 This is going to be some climber upon which I'm never going to be 89 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,680 able to guess. OK, this is what I hate. 90 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:07,200 When you give me these fun questions it just exposes me for 91 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:14,800 the straight thinker that I am. OK Monkey, monkey men, monkey 92 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:20,400 Kong, monkey women. 3 monkeys. Is it like a play on 12 monkeys? 93 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,760 Like 3 monkeys? No, that I don't think they 94 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,280 would be called monkeys. No, no, no, not at all. 95 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:27,280 Not at all. I'll give you the other name 96 00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:30,120 that they're known by, which is not really going to lead you to 97 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:32,600 the answer, but it's just an interesting side trivia. 98 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,720 So all three of them were kind of, I guess, mentored by a 99 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,640 Kenyan British paleontropologist and archaeologist who was also 100 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,840 very interested in this particular field of study, who 101 00:05:44,840 --> 00:05:46,560 went by the name of Louis Leakey. 102 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,080 So these women were also called Leakey's angels. 103 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,040 What are they called apart from Leakey's angels? 104 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,720 We need to think of what were they studying? 105 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,520 Who were they studying? They were studying primates. 106 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,000 And how many of them were there? 3 Trimates trimates. 107 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Yeah, there we go. Oh God, they called 3 mates. 108 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:09,920 The trimates. The trimates. 109 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Oh, oh God, oh God. Trimates was the name that was 110 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,400 given to these three women, Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, and Brute 111 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,600 Daldikas, 3 women who have changed the study of primates 112 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,400 and have contributed significantly to that particular 113 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,160 science. And just because it combines my 114 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:38,240 love for nature and for sciences with my absolute devotion to 115 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,800 puns, I had to ask you this, Vineer. 116 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,360 You know, I don't even think this qualifies as a regular 117 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,400 trivia question. And I'll tell you what, my dad's 118 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,360 favorite, who is a regular listener, shout out to my 119 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960 father. My dad's favorite question, I 120 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,000 think so far, the one that he has made a point to call me up 121 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,760 after listening to the episode and telling me how much he loved 122 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,400 it, was the pun on air Horse one. 123 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,000 I knew it just had to be it. The plane that was used to 124 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,800 transport these, these race horses. 125 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,160 Race horses, Yeah, it's called Air Horse One. 126 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,800 To be fair, that is a much superior pun to trimates. 127 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,360 I'm going to put it out there. That's a come. 128 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,160 On Trimates is a great fun as well. 129 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,040 Vineet, I challenge you on that. Trimates is a phenomenal pun. 130 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,440 No air horse one. Now that that brings me a 131 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,120 chuckle every time. You know what I say to that 132 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,280 vineet? I say nay. 133 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,040 Oh God. OK, that was a fantastic pun, 134 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,400 but I'm going to go the most serious route. 135 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960 Have you heard of the International Organization for 136 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,400 Standardization, also known as ISO? 137 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:41,800 I have heard of that. Yes. 138 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,760 So it's an independent non governmental international 139 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,840 standard development organization composed of 140 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,680 representatives from the national standards organizations 141 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,200 of member countries. It was founded on 23rd February 142 00:07:54,200 --> 00:08:00,560 1947 and as of July 2024 has published over 25,000 143 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,600 international standards covering almost all aspects of technology 144 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,480 and manufacturing. So what the ISO does is it 145 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,200 develops and publishes international standards for 146 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,760 easiness on end user or commerce market like availability in 147 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,880 technical and non-technical fields including everything from 148 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,160 manufactured products and technology to food safety, 149 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,000 transport, IT, agriculture and healthcare. 150 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,840 Just to give you a few examples. ISO 9001 which is the one that 151 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,280 most people must have heard is a quality management system for 152 00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:36,520 organizations. So if an organization is 153 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,799 certified to or accredited as to having passed the criteria for 154 00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,120 ISO 9001, you can be assured that they have great quality 155 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:47,800 management systems in place, right? 156 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,400 Similarly, the medical laboratories we follow or the 157 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:55,400 standards of ISO 15189, which is quality and competence in 158 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,120 medical laboratories. So this is the background to the 159 00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,200 question. Now coming to the question 160 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:07,200 itself, ISO 3301 was originally laid down in 1980. 161 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:13,920 That's 1980, and a revision was published in December 2019. 162 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:19,600 This standard is not meant to define the proper method, but 163 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:24,440 rather to document a procedure where meaningful sensory 164 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,600 comparisons can be made. The protocol has been criticized 165 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,160 for omitting any mention of pre warming. 166 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,400 Ireland was the only country to object and objected on technical 167 00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,360 grounds. The work was the winner of the 168 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:45,480 parodic IG Nobel Prize for Literature in 1999. 169 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,680 So what does ISO 3301 set the standard for? 170 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,320 I can see that stupid grin on your face, which just tells me 171 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,400 I've wasted a lot of time coming up with this question just to 172 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,000 have it bomb and you just crack it on the first try. 173 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:05,280 But go ahead, make your own day. I will make my own day. 174 00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:07,880 It is the standard for making tea. 175 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,360 ISO 3301 is the standard for making tea. 176 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,360 This is a piece of trivia I encountered weeks ago. 177 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,480 And here's a little bit of a look under the hood for how this 178 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,920 podcast is made. Because whenever I decide that 179 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,480 OK, I'm going to ask these questions this episode, I always 180 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,160 keep a couple of them backed up. And I'm like, OK, all of these 181 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,280 3-4 are great. And this extra one, just in 182 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,160 case, you know, one of them I can't use. 183 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:37,720 And ISO 3301 has been on my list for the last 20 episodes, I 184 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,440 believe. I always have it open and I've 185 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:42,240 just like, OK, you know what, it's a great question, but I'll 186 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:43,640 ask it at some point in the future. 187 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,200 So last 20 episodes, I've not asked this question. 188 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,840 Then you just went for it this time. 189 00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,960 So I can't really take too much care for it. 190 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,520 I just encountered this piece of trivia a while back, and I want 191 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,720 to ask you this. So it's the standard for making 192 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:57,360 tea. Yes. 193 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:02,160 So for the benefit of our audience, ISO 3301, or rather 194 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:08,520 the new one is ISO 13103, sets a standard for brewing tea. 195 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,360 Now the standard is not meant to define the proper method for 196 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,320 brewing tea intended for general consumption, but rather it is 197 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,280 made to document a tea brewing procedure where meaningful 198 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,120 sensory comparisons can be made. An example of such a test would 199 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,600 be a taste test to establish which blend of teas to choose 200 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,000 for a particular brand or label in order to maintain a 201 00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:35,000 consistent tasting brewed drink from harvest to harvest. 202 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:39,720 It may not be the best way of making tea, but they defines a 203 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,320 specific order and method in making tea so that you can make 204 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,520 a consistent comparison each and every time. 205 00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,480 So there's an actual standard for that. 206 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,640 There's an somebody actually sat down and made I don't know how 207 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,760 many 10s of pages, just a standard to internationally 208 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:01,040 follow on how to brew tea, which I found quite nerdy and 209 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,160 interesting at the same time. So I thought I'd stump you with 210 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,840 it. But then you are unstumpable. 211 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:11,120 You have no stump. Honoured that you think that I 212 00:12:11,680 --> 00:12:13,800 can't be stumped because that will be proven wrong pretty 213 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,160 shortly I'm sure in this episode. 214 00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:22,920 But Speaking of people who do contribute a lot to this podcast 215 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,480 without sometimes coming to the fore, that would be a lovely 216 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,600 listeners. And one of them has sent me a 217 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,800 question. So thank you so much to this 218 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:37,000 listener, Arjun Sree Kumar. Arjun Sree Kumar sent me a 219 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:38,480 couple of questions. I'm going to ask one of them 220 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:40,840 today, Vineet. And I'm very excited, not 221 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,640 because the question is great, because the question is a fun 222 00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,760 question, but more importantly, Arjun Sree Kumar said, I'm going 223 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:48,120 to quote him here his his e-mail to us. 224 00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,160 Shout out to any of our listeners who want to send us an 225 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,960 e-mail with a question. You can say it, right? 226 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,240 Are you quizzing me@gmail.com? So Arjun Sreekumar's e-mail to 227 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,000 us said, hi, Aditya, great work on the podcast. 228 00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:01,960 For me. This is hands down the best 229 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:03,720 trivia or quizzing podcast I have heard. 230 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,960 That is very sweet. Thank you, Arjun. 231 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:09,520 The next line goes. I also appreciate the fun aspect 232 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:13,600 of the podcast, including your question of the week, which I've 233 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,520 noticed you're not posing anymore in recent episodes. 234 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,840 For the benefit of any of our listeners who have only joined 235 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,120 us in the last few, perhaps weeks, maybe in a couple of last 236 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,080 months. They might not know that at one 237 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,360 point this podcast used to end with me asking a question, which 238 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,280 is not a trivia question, which is just a stupid pun, and I 239 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,480 didn't even have an answer for it. 240 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,160 And I would just think of it in the intervening week before we 241 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,960 recorded the next. And then I would give that 242 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,240 answer at the beginning of the next episode. 243 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,800 And we have stopped doing that because some of the listener 244 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,240 feedback was that they didn't know if that was real trivia or 245 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,600 they were getting confused. Yeah. 246 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:53,840 But hey, at least I know there was one fan. 247 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,720 So Arjun, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. 248 00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:59,960 You have made my day, my week, my month, probably my year, just 249 00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:02,960 with that compliment. But coming to the real meat of 250 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,960 the matter, Arjun's question. And I'm going to read it 251 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:07,320 verbatim. OK. 252 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:12,000 X is a term used for a mercenary in the Ottoman army. 253 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:17,280 Recruited by sultans to boost the regular army, they did not 254 00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,440 receive payment or wear a uniform. 255 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,960 They lived off of the loot seized from civilians, forming a 256 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,080 formidable, undisciplined cavalry with a reputation for 257 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:32,080 brutal violence. They were especially active in 258 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,920 the Crimean War and the Balkan Wars of the 19th century. 259 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:44,000 The term in Ottoman Turkish itself means one whose head is 260 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:48,160 turned or it could also mean damaged head or crazy head. 261 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:52,080 What is this term X? The first thing that comes to 262 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,200 mind when you say that is Janissaries. 263 00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,360 They were like the shock troops of the Ottoman Empire to the 264 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,560 Janissaries. Am I anywhere close? 265 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:05,640 No, it's not the Janissaries. OK, no, I'll need some kind of 266 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,000 clue then. At this point I have to tell you 267 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,600 why I really like this question and I had to pick this question 268 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,240 to ask is because the hint is a really fun hint provided by 269 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,920 Arjun himself. The hint reads it's a commonly 270 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:22,720 used swear word or insult by Captain Haddock in the Tintin 271 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,440 comics. Blistering billion. 272 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,040 Blistering blue barnacles? No. 273 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,880 That is the allitration that you want to focus on. 274 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,160 Yes, yes, yes. Give me. 275 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:32,600 Give me two seconds. Give me two seconds. 276 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,920 What is it called? Something I keep remembering 277 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,640 bazooka for some reason something similar right it I I 278 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,120 can't remember the exact one it. Agonizingly close. 279 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,520 It is very close to the word bazooka. 280 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:47,800 I can't remember it. I can't remember it. 281 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,280 I I remember it something very similar to Bazooka, but I can't 282 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,240 remember the actual thing. OK, the word basically goes 283 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,680 bashi bazook. Bashi bazook. 284 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,040 OK, bashi bazooki. Bazook. 285 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,480 So for any of our Tintin fans, you would remember Captain 286 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:09,800 Haddock in his rage fits would list of alliterative expletives 287 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,120 or close to expletives as you can for a children's comic. 288 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120 And a lot of them were crazy sounding words that were just 289 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,120 bunched together. Blistering barnacles, billions 290 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,680 of blue blistering barnacles comes to mind. 291 00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:21,760 Thousands of thundering typhoons. 292 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,760 And Bashi Bazook was another thing that he used to say. 293 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,320 Wow, what a lovely piece of trivia. 294 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:27,960 Right? Like what was he actually 295 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:29,360 talking about? Bashi Bazook who were 296 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:33,920 mercenaries in the Ottoman army who used to be renowned for the 297 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,600 brutality and violence and also were paid by the loot that they 298 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,880 would gather from civilians. That is the origin of the term 299 00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,840 Bashi Bazook. I also have to, on behalf of 300 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,840 Arjun, give a unofficial PCR. I love PCR. 301 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:51,080 I never thought of that pop culture recommendation. 302 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:53,560 OK. Which is Blistering Barnacles, 303 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:57,800 which is an A-Z Dictionary of the rants, rambles and rages of 304 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,480 Captain Haddock. It's a coffee table book by 305 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,240 Albert Gold and I haven't read it, but from the sounds of it I 306 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,160 think it is probably going to be brilliant. 307 00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:10,400 So it's something I think people should know that Arjun wants to 308 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:13,119 recommend. Blistering Barnacles, an A-Z 309 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,400 Dictionary of the RAD Samples and rages of Captain Haddock. 310 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:17,920 A coffee table book. Unofficial PCR. 311 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:24,640 Nice, nice, very nice. OK, I see your Bashi Bazook and 312 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,520 I'm going to raise you to another level of pop culture. 313 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,040 Basically, you give me a clue on comics and I'm going to go one 314 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,080 step further where you have one comic, which is Tintin. 315 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:42,160 I'm going to hundreds of comics. So a comic book convention or 316 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:47,440 Comic Con is a fan convention emphasizing comic books and 317 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,960 comic book culture, in which comic book fans gather to meet 318 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,160 creators, experts and each other. 319 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,840 Though the San Diego Comic Con is the most famous, it is not 320 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,760 the oldest. The first recorded official 321 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:06,920 Comic Con comic book convention occurred in 1964 in New York 322 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,600 City. Known as the New York Comic Con, 323 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:17,240 it was held on July 24th, 1964 at the Workman Circle Building, 324 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:23,320 a one day convention organized by 16 year old Bernie Bupness 325 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,880 and fellow enthusiast Ron Fratkin. 326 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:31,040 Official guests included Steve Ditko who you may know as the Co 327 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,400 creator of Spider Man and creator of Doctor Strange, as 328 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,960 well as Tom Gill who was the artist of The Lone Ranger comic. 329 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,240 There were reports of over 100 attendees. 330 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:52,840 My question to you Aditya, is who was the first person to sign 331 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:59,000 up for and buy a ticket to the first ever Comic Con? 332 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,840 Let me repeat that last part. Who was the first ever person to 333 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,720 sign up and buy a ticket for the first ever Comic Con? 334 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,720 Would it be a very, very strange answer to just say, was it Spike 335 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,200 Lee? No, Why Spike Lee? 336 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,560 I'm just curious. Oh, I'm sorry, what am I saying, 337 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,840 Spike Lee? I'm like what? 338 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,960 What is the? What is the director of Inside 339 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:26,240 Man I have to do with this? Can you cut that part out? 340 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,480 Because I wanted to say Stanley and I want to sound like such 341 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:28,800 an. Idiot. 342 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:29,320 No. No, we are. 343 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:29,840 We are. We are. 344 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:31,040 We are not this. Is what I mean. 345 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:35,200 I was sounding smart so far. We were 20 minutes in and I was 346 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,760 sounding really smart. And then I have to shoot myself 347 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,480 in the foot and say Spike Lee instead of Stanley like a 348 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,480 absolute buffoon. Billions of blistering buffoons. 349 00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:47,880 OK, yeah, I meant Stanley. Would it be ridiculous to say 350 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,280 Stanley? And not ridiculous. 351 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:54,480 But it's not Stanley. OK, but am I in the right space? 352 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:56,520 Is it like somebody famous in that comic? 353 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,720 Book this person is famous in. Yeah. 354 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,560 I mean, like, he's not just exclusively comic book, but pop 355 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,640 culture. This person is very famous in 356 00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,240 pop culture. Some of his works have been 357 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,600 wrapped into comics. I would put it that way. 358 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,760 Could you tell me, sorry again, which year was this first ever 359 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:18,640 Comic Con? This was 1964. 1964 Some of his 360 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:20,800 work has been adapted into a comic book. 361 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,600 A pop culture legend from the sounds of it. 362 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,880 Just to say that, you know, you are not completely wrong in that 363 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:31,840 Stanley did have a connection to the first ever Comic Con. 364 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,920 This is a piece of slide, But yeah, his secretary, who was 365 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:37,960 quite famous in her own right, was called Flo Steinberg. 366 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:40,280 She was known as the fabulous Flo Steinberg. 367 00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:43,760 She was Stanley's secretary. And she also was one of the 368 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:48,880 guests at the first ever Comic Con held in New York in 1964. 369 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,560 But the person who was the first ever person to sign up for the 370 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,200 first ever Comic Con was not Stanley. 371 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,800 Do you want a clue? Yeah, that would be great. 372 00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:08,240 OK, so Star Wars Chewbacca. The appearance of Chewbacca was 373 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,920 based off an illustration from one of the books written by this 374 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,200 person. Oh interesting. 375 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,120 No, I have absolutely no clue who Chewbacca is based off. 376 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:22,240 I was going to say, is it the person who played Chewbacca, 377 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:26,960 which I know is some actor, but. Peter Weller, I think his name 378 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,320 was. I will also give an additional 379 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,400 Clue, who was almost a fixture at later comic cons in the 2000 380 00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,640 and 10s, but at that time, instead of being an attendee, he 381 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:41,400 was up on stage. I'll just give you a little more 382 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,640 detail on Chewbacca's appearance. 383 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,120 Chewbacca's final appearance in the movie Star Wars was based on 384 00:21:47,120 --> 00:21:52,760 a 1976 piece of concept art by Ralph Mcquarrie, which in turn 385 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,840 was based on illustration by John Schoner for this person's 386 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:01,240 novel, which was called and Seven Times Never Kill a Man. 387 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:03,720 And seven times never kill a man. 388 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,960 Yeah. Is that the book that Satkun 389 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:12,560 Math is based on? I don't think so, because it's a 390 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,320 science fiction thing. I was going to say that that is 391 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:17,840 based of a Ruskin Bond novel or book or. 392 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:19,400 Whatever story. Yeah, Something, something, 393 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,680 yeah. Coming back to this, this person 394 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:26,440 that we are talking about started off his career as a hard 395 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:32,200 science fiction writer, but today is known more for fantasy, 396 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,280 high fantasy. The only person who fits that 397 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,120 bill is George RR Martin. I know he started off with 398 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:39,880 science fiction and has moved to fantasy. 399 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:43,560 Is he the one? Yes, George RR Martin was the 400 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,680 first ever person to buy a ticket for the first ever Comic 401 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,240 Con. He confirmed this had an 402 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,560 interview in his words. It was held in New York City in 403 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,200 1964. It cost a 1 1/2 dollars to sign 404 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,320 up for it, which is a lot of money, like a dozen comic books. 405 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,320 And I had to spend more money taking the bus from Bayonne, NJ, 406 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,320 hoping I could find this place in the depths of Greenwich 407 00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:09,800 Village. Nice. 408 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,480 So George RR Martin was the first person. 409 00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,080 I have to ask though, because I have heard this piece of trivia 410 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,680 and you are a bigger Star Wars nerd than I am, so you probably 411 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,080 will be able to correct me if I'm wrong. 412 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:23,720 I thought Chewbacca was based off of Lucas Dog, no? 413 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:29,000 No, they wanted a kind of shaggy doggy Wolfie appearance, but 414 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,960 they wanted it to be in kind of physically imposing humanoid 415 00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,280 structure. So the final appearance was 416 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,160 based off this particular illustration, the whole 417 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,520 bandelier and being 7 feet tall and all those things. 418 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:42,720 OK so This is why probably I was confused. 419 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:44,040 I just pulled up this piece of trivia. 420 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:49,160 Chewbacca was inspired by Lucas Dog and Alaskan Malamute named 421 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,200 Indiana. She would sit in the passenger 422 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,080 seat of his car while he was driving and he referred to her 423 00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,880 as his copilot. Chewbacca's name was derived 424 00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:03,520 from the Russian word Sobacca, or however it is pronounced in 425 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,240 Russian, which means dog. So this is this is a little bit 426 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:11,360 of Chewbacca trivia for any of our Star Wars fans over there. 427 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:12,920 An interesting effect. Yeah. 428 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,920 So I guess the final appearance, obviously. 429 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,320 The final appearance, yeah, of the, you know, but the basically 430 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,000 if you look at the original illustration, I've seen the 431 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,480 illustration from Laurence Mccorry's concept art that he 432 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,400 was inspired by John Schoner's illustration for GRR Martin 433 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,120 Novelette. So that concept of a 7 foot 8 434 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:36,520 foot tall kind of shaggy dog like creature with a band 435 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:40,480 earlier that comes from a George RR Martin book illustration. 436 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:44,320 I love that. Cool, So Chewbacca originated 437 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,400 from a dog but inspired by George RR Martin. 438 00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,720 Wow, it's like I love these worlds colliding. 439 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,920 Yeah. Great piece of trivia. 440 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,040 History is amazing and that is my segue. 441 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,240 History is amazing to my question and this is a question 442 00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:05,480 from the 18th century, Vinit, so we are going way, way back. 443 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,440 How much do you know about the thoroughbred race horses from 444 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,640 18th century? Absolutely. 445 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,240 Nothing. I love it. 446 00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,080 Great. Hopefully this will take you a 447 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,520 little effort. A particular racehorse who won 448 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,520 over 25 races. Let's call this racehorse X 1 / 449 00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:26,520 25 races and place higher than some of the most prominent race 450 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,720 horses of this time was an important sire whose leading 451 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:36,400 runners included Epsom Derby winners Waxy Champion, Tyrant. 452 00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,280 These are names perhaps famous among the racehorse community. 453 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,720 He is best known apart from his racing credentials, he is best 454 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,480 known for the unusual spelling of his name. 455 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760 So I'm going to tell you the origin of the name, and then 456 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,960 you're going to tell me the name of this particular horse. 457 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,680 There are many different theories of how this name might 458 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:56,920 have originated. According to the most common 459 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:02,160 one, Bertie, who was the breeder, Bertie intended to call 460 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:06,840 the young colt Y. He instructed the stable boy to 461 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,600 write the name on a feed bin. So he instructed the stable boy 462 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,760 to write Y on the feed bin. The stable boy spelled the name 463 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,480 phonetically and hence ended up with the name X. 464 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:24,480 So he misspelled it, and he ended up calling it X, which 465 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,680 amused Bertie so much that he adopted that name X instead. 466 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,600 Or he adopted that particular spelling instead. 467 00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:34,480 What is the name? Do you want to take a wild guess 468 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,840 to begin with? Because right now I don't think 469 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,000 I've given you enough clues. But take a wild guess to begin. 470 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,920 See The thing is when it comes to race horses, I know just a 471 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:48,000 few like Secretariat and Sea Biscuits, but those are like 472 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:51,320 from the 20th century and maybe late 19th century. 473 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,280 But this is the 18th century. I can't think of anything from 474 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,480 the 18th century. Nothing. 475 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:03,120 The only other kind of famous horse that comes to mind is 476 00:27:03,120 --> 00:27:06,160 Black Beauty, but it was not a racehorse. 477 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:09,200 OK, you might not have heard of this particular horse. 478 00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:12,200 I had never even heard of this name before, but this piece of 479 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,000 trivia is just too good to pass up on. 480 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:20,760 He was named after a vegetable, the first to be grown in space. 481 00:27:21,360 --> 00:27:25,200 Lettuce no. What's the first vegetable to be 482 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,560 grown in space and nothing comes to like like beetroot? 483 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,080 Also famously portrayed in a science fiction work. 484 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:37,640 Potato. Yes. 485 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,920 So Y is potato. Do you want to take a guess as 486 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,640 to what X is? So potato. 487 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,120 Potato. Is it something to do with that? 488 00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:47,960 No. It's a little, little stupider 489 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:53,360 than that. OK, potato, Potato. 490 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:58,680 Be potato, potato. I was think of it as if he was 491 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,560 trying to spell it or he was trying to break it down 492 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,320 phonetically and he ended up with the spelling. 493 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:08,760 Potato. You're saying it like you're 494 00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,960 saying it. I don't know if you're hearing 495 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,840 it. I wonder if our listeners can 496 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,120 tell what the answer is right now because you're literally 497 00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:17,360 saying it out loud. Wait, I'm just saying potato 498 00:28:17,360 --> 00:28:18,520 differently, that's all. OK. 499 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,960 Let me try to say it once with the emphasis and let's see if we 500 00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:23,240 figure it out. OK. 501 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:27,760 Pot 8 OH. Part 8 O. 502 00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:30,040 Yeah, if that had. Part Eight. 503 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,640 Part 80. Close, close, close. 504 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,760 I don't. Know OK Part 80. 505 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:40,720 Part 80. I will put you out of a misery. 506 00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:43,920 The stable boy heard it as part 8 O. 507 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,520 So he wrote the word part followed by 8 OS. 508 00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:52,360 He thought the guy was saying part followed by 8 OS. 509 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,800 That is just so dumb. So what did they call him? 510 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,640 Patu. So he was Patu, Patu. 511 00:29:01,640 --> 00:29:04,760 I don't know, Patu. I guess Patu Patu. 512 00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:09,280 That's also the sound he made when he rushed past you on the 513 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:11,840 race course. Do you remember the time when 514 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,240 our podcast actually used to be much more serious? 515 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:21,720 Yeah, neither do I, but still, I just hope that was at some point 516 00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:24,640 that, you know, some listeners listening to this might think 517 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,720 like, OK, I just want to show you we do have serious episodes, 518 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,200 but this is a particularly silly. 519 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,960 One and I take my comedy seriously also I should have 520 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:35,480 done this earlier but let me do it now. 521 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:37,640 This question was not my question. 522 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,280 This was provided to us by another lovely listener Vishnu. 523 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:43,920 Vishnu reached out to me on Instagram, so another place that 524 00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:48,280 you can reach out to both Vineet and I, and he give me a couple 525 00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:49,840 of questions. I picked this one to ask. 526 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,920 So thank you. Vishnu, who's also a regular 527 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,840 listener, and he says he really loves it and enjoys it. 528 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,360 And he's always waiting for the next episode to drop. 529 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,000 So Vishnu, hopefully in the next episode you get to hear your own 530 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,840 question. This was Vishnu's question. 531 00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,600 For two, for two, for two, whatever. 532 00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:11,520 It is OK. OK. 533 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:12,880 I see you. I see you. 534 00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:17,800 So you had a lot of O's, a lot of letters. 535 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,800 So now I'm going to go to something also, which has a lot 536 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:24,200 of letters, which is a poem. Now how's that for a segue? 537 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,160 Have you heard of Alexander Pope? 538 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:33,480 I have heard of this person. Yes, so Alexander Pope, famous 539 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,920 author and poet, had many famous poems. 540 00:30:36,920 --> 00:30:40,160 I'm just going to focus on one poem in particular, and this 541 00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:44,040 poem is called Eloisa to Abelard. 542 00:30:45,160 --> 00:30:48,280 The name of the poem is Eloisa to Abelard. 543 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:51,240 So there are 4 lines. I'm going to specifically focus 544 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,440 on one standard from this poem. I'm going to tell you what the 545 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:59,200 words are and I'm going to leave out one line and I want you to 546 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,480 tell me which line I'm leaving out. 547 00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:05,960 OK, You with me so far. Yep. 548 00:31:06,800 --> 00:31:12,000 OK, so the first line is how happy is the blameless Westel's 549 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,840 lot. The second line is the world 550 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:20,320 forgetting by the world forgot. And then the line I want you to 551 00:31:20,320 --> 00:31:24,600 identify and the last line is each prayer accepted and. 552 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:29,120 Each wish resigned. You already know this. 553 00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:32,920 I have heard of this firm. Such a smug look. 554 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,280 It it's not, it's not a good look on you. 555 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:40,000 No, I, I, I can't even take credit for this. 556 00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,240 This is like, you know, you, you encounter some things in life 557 00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:47,560 that just move you at such a deep level that you can't help 558 00:31:47,560 --> 00:31:50,160 but remember these things. OK, that that that's enough 559 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:52,920 grandstanding. I mean, like, see, he's he's 560 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,880 he's quite smug. He's just come from the gym and 561 00:31:56,880 --> 00:32:00,840 he's looking ripped and kind of, you know, all jacked up and 562 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,120 wearing a muscle muscle tee and showing off all muscles and all 563 00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,720 and the smug look, it's not going to work. 564 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,560 Don't know what to say to that, so I'm just going to tell you 565 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:16,000 the answer. The answer is Eternal Sunshine 566 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,240 of the Spotless Mind. Yes, yes it is. 567 00:32:19,240 --> 00:32:21,520 Right. OK, so for our audience who may 568 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,560 be impressed with the fact that it took me some digging to get 569 00:32:23,560 --> 00:32:28,320 this, but there is a poem by Alexander Pope which is called 570 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:33,840 Eloisa to Abelard. It was published in my 1717 and 571 00:32:33,840 --> 00:32:37,440 is based on a well known medieval story inspired by the 572 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:42,160 12th century story of Elouise. The Aljum tells illicit love for 573 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:47,000 and secret marriage to a teacher, Peter Abelard, who was 574 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,560 a famous Parisian philosopher some 20 years her senior. 575 00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:56,080 After their affair and marriage, her family took brutal vengeance 576 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:00,120 on Abelard and castrated him, following which he entered a 577 00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,640 monastery and compelled Elouise to become a nun. 578 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:08,440 Both then LED comparatively successful monastic careers. 579 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,640 Years later, Abelard completed the Historia Calamitatum, which 580 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,320 is the history of misfortune, cast as a letter of consolation 581 00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:19,920 to the fend. When it fell into Eloise's 582 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,800 hands, her passion for him was reawakened, and there was an 583 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:27,560 exchange of four letters between them, written in an ornate Latin 584 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,760 style. In Pope's poem, Eloisa confesses 585 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,960 to the suppressed love that his letter has reawakened. 586 00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:39,080 So this is the kind of context in which Alexander Pope has 587 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:44,040 written this poem and the complete stanza in continuation 588 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,520 so that you can appreciate the sheer beauty of this poem goes 589 00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:50,200 as followed. How happy is the blameless 590 00:33:50,200 --> 00:33:53,160 Westel's lot. The world forgetting by the 591 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:56,640 world forgot. Eternal sunshine of the spotless 592 00:33:56,640 --> 00:33:59,960 mind. Each prayer accepted, each wish 593 00:33:59,960 --> 00:34:02,840 resigned. That's where the Jim Carrey 594 00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,960 movie get it to get its name. Yeah, that's the whole summary 595 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,239 of this entire thing that I had to say. 596 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:11,840 That Jim Carrey's movie came from a line from an Alexander 597 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,280 Pope poem. And I was hoping that Aditya 598 00:34:14,280 --> 00:34:17,320 would be stumped. But this muscular man in front 599 00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:21,239 of me, he was just too smug. Might I remind you I also said 600 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:25,679 Spike Lee instead of Stan Lee just a while back. 601 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:27,840 Yeah. And I said it with so much 602 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:29,639 confidence. I was like, I think I've cracked 603 00:34:29,639 --> 00:34:32,639 this for the first one. No close. 604 00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,080 OK, that's a lovely question. Probably because it is a 605 00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:41,400 beautiful poem. These few lines are just so 606 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,000 beautiful. And also that movie. 607 00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:46,199 Oh God, that movie. Yeah, the movie is great. 608 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:50,719 If not for The Truman Show, this would be by far my favorite Jim 609 00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,840 Carrey movie. But then, Truman Show is also a 610 00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,600 pretty phenomenal movie. How dare you? 611 00:34:56,520 --> 00:35:00,520 The best Jim Carrey movie ever is Dumb and Dumber, followed 612 00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,760 very closely by The Mask. Oh, I'm. 613 00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:05,240 Surprised you didn't say Ace Ventura. 614 00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:08,760 Oh, now you've got me confused. I'd have to put the mask and Ace 615 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,960 Ventura side by side. That's, that's a pretty valid 616 00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:15,160 list right there. I, I, I'll give you props for 617 00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:16,800 that. I actually think one of his 618 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:20,480 underrated movies is Liar Liar. I think Liar Liar is just a 619 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,600 hilarious movie. It is hilarious. 620 00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:26,000 So is me, myself and Irene. Also. 621 00:35:26,560 --> 00:35:30,600 Yes, man. Yeah, there we go. 622 00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:34,080 We agree on that. 1A phenomenal movie. 623 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,960 I mean, like Jim Carrey is one of those people. 624 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,160 He just everything he touches turns to gold. 625 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:44,120 He had to be the Grinch in The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. 626 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:48,840 And the prosthetic work was so time consuming and so 627 00:35:48,840 --> 00:35:51,760 suffocating that they actually had to bring in This is a true 628 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:54,480 story. They had to bring in Acia expert 629 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:59,120 who had to teach him how to resist torture just so that he 630 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:00,840 could get through this prosthetic experience. 631 00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,160 Putting on the prosthetics for becoming the great. 632 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:05,960 No way, you're kidding me. Is that a real piece of trivia? 633 00:36:06,720 --> 00:36:08,000 It's a real thing. It's a real thing. 634 00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:10,040 You look at the movie, that's actual process. 635 00:36:10,040 --> 00:36:13,360 It's not CGI, right? They've actually spent hours, 636 00:36:13,360 --> 00:36:16,840 something, six hours, 7 hours in the makeup chair every day just 637 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:20,080 to get that on. And it was so bad that they had 638 00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:23,560 to actually bring in a torture expert to teach him how to 639 00:36:23,560 --> 00:36:26,280 resist torture techniques, to resist torture, so that he could 640 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,280 just stand putting on all that makeup and whatnot. 641 00:36:29,640 --> 00:36:31,320 And he still gave a stellar performance. 642 00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,440 My God, that that's, that's painful. 643 00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,480 That sounds painful. OK, great. 644 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:42,880 So some lovely Jim Carrey movies as recommendations, pop culture 645 00:36:42,880 --> 00:36:45,760 recommendations. I'm moving from your question 646 00:36:46,080 --> 00:36:49,680 about an English author. I'm going to move to something 647 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:55,000 else that is English and in this case it is the Court of Criminal 648 00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,960 Appeal, which was an English appellate court for criminal 649 00:36:59,960 --> 00:37:03,680 cases established by the Criminal Appeal Act Nineteen O 650 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:07,040 7. Eventually it was superseded by 651 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,960 the Court of Appeal of England and Wales in 1966. 652 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,520 So it it was around for close to 60 years. 653 00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:19,080 OK. This particular court came to be 654 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:23,200 because there was a lot of disquiet, a lot of public 655 00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,280 turmoil over the convictions of two people. 656 00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,240 And both of these convictions, perhaps even by common logic or 657 00:37:31,240 --> 00:37:34,720 common sense, seem to be wrongful convictions and were 658 00:37:34,720 --> 00:37:37,080 proven eventually to be wrongful convictions as well. 659 00:37:37,520 --> 00:37:40,680 The first of which was a gentleman by the name of Adolf 660 00:37:40,680 --> 00:37:44,080 Beck. A very quick background on the 661 00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:47,120 Adolf Beck case, which was a notorious incident of wrongful 662 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:52,120 conviction by mistaken identity brought about by unreliable 663 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:55,760 methods of identification. But the other cases what we are 664 00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:59,080 interested in, which was the case of George Idalji. 665 00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:04,840 Now George Idalji was an English solicitor and a son of a vicar 666 00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:09,080 of Indian Parsi descent in a village in England. 667 00:38:09,720 --> 00:38:12,680 He became known as a victim of a miscarriage of justice for 668 00:38:12,680 --> 00:38:16,360 having served three years hard labour after being convicted on 669 00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:21,160 a charge of injuring a pony. He was initially regarded having 670 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:24,040 been responsible for the series of animal mutilations known as a 671 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,440 Great Riley Outrageous, but the prosecution case against him 672 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,760 became regarded as weak and prejudice, probably because of 673 00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:34,520 racial overtones. He was pardoned on the grounds 674 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,240 of the conviction being an unsafe 1 after a campaign in 675 00:38:39,240 --> 00:38:43,520 which X took a prominent role. And that brings me to my 676 00:38:43,520 --> 00:38:47,880 question. Who is X responsible for 677 00:38:47,880 --> 00:38:53,520 overturning this criminal conviction and restoring justice 678 00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:57,080 and eventually leading to, I guess, indirectly setting up 679 00:38:57,120 --> 00:39:00,960 this Court of Criminal appeal? England and males. 680 00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,320 Since they're the same, Court of Criminal Appeals is going to be 681 00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,720 quite long. I'm going to shorten it to COCA. 682 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,880 So when did you say that Koka was established? 683 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:17,280 Koka was established in 19 O 7 and stuck around in 1966. 684 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:21,440 These two cases that I mentioned happened close to that time. 685 00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:26,280 I think George Dalti's case happened in 19 O 6. 686 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:30,160 OK, nineteen O 6. OK. 687 00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:35,360 So given the fact that this is still during the colonial era 688 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:41,000 and you said somebody of Parsi dissent, I'm guessing this was a 689 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:45,480 barrister of Indian origin. That is a very solid guess. 690 00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:49,000 I give you props for trying to read my mind, I guess, because I 691 00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,360 would ask you a question where it would be an unexpected 692 00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,000 person. But no, it is not an Indian 693 00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:58,400 barrister fighting for the justice of a man of Indian Parsi 694 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:02,920 origin or dissent. No, it isn't Mahatma Gandhi, OK. 695 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,600 No, I was actually thinking of Jinnah, but. 696 00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,000 OK, yeah, neither Jinnah nor Gandhi nor it's. 697 00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:12,880 Because by 19, by the 1900s, Gandhi was already in South 698 00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,080 Africa. That is true. 699 00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,360 Yes, you are right. No, it's neither Jinnah nor 700 00:40:17,360 --> 00:40:18,960 Gandhi. Nobody Indian at all. 701 00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:24,160 Nobody Indian. OK, then I would probably go 702 00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,040 into the Spencer family. Churchill. 703 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:30,840 OK, so at this point I'm going to give you a clue because this 704 00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:33,080 clue is also so beautiful. It has to be part of the 705 00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:37,320 question, OK? X arrived to meet with Adalji at 706 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,040 a hotel after becoming interested in the case. 707 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:45,000 X recalled that he paused to study Adalji, who was passing 708 00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:47,960 the time reading a newspaper while waiting in the lobby. 709 00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:52,840 On observing how Adalji held the paper at an angle inches from 710 00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:56,800 his face, X was convinced that Adalji was innocent. 711 00:40:57,600 --> 00:41:01,600 He believed it impossible for someone with eyesight as bad as 712 00:41:01,600 --> 00:41:04,840 the Dalgies to have moved through the countryside after 713 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:08,800 nightfall, attacking animals and successfully evading the police. 714 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,680 OK, now my next question too is very, very, very important. 715 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:17,920 Is X actually a barrister? No, no. 716 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,720 So then my first guest to you after all of that would be Sir 717 00:41:21,720 --> 00:41:25,400 Arthur Conan Doyle. Oh, brilliant crack. 718 00:41:25,400 --> 00:41:27,080 And I knew that hint would get you there. 719 00:41:27,080 --> 00:41:32,600 I'm I'm very impressed. Yes, it is so Arthur Conan 720 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,320 Doyle, who apart from he wrote a couple of books like, I don't 721 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:39,160 know if you've heard of it, like Sherlock Holmes here and there. 722 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,840 Yeah, he wrote a book about Professor Challenger and a few 723 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:46,840 of his friends visiting a lost world where they find dinosaurs. 724 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:50,440 No, this is actually true. What? 725 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,160 I thought you would make some weird reference to Jurassic 726 00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:53,880 Park. Or something. 727 00:42:00,160 --> 00:42:03,840 So The Lost World, if you did not know, is an actual science 728 00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:07,040 fiction novel written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. 729 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,120 It's about an expedition to a plateau in the Amazon basin 730 00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:13,720 where they find prehistoric animals. 731 00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:16,800 And there was a character called as Professor Challenger. 732 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:21,040 Like Sherlock Holmes was created by Saratha Connor died, but he's 733 00:42:21,040 --> 00:42:23,480 like the direct opposite of Sherlock Holmes. 734 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,120 Holmes is controlled, very clinical. 735 00:42:26,320 --> 00:42:30,240 And Challenger is, you know, big, strong and query aggressive 736 00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:32,800 and angry and hot tempered and whatnot. 737 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:36,040 Very cool. That is a lovely piece of trivia 738 00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:38,200 side trivia. But coming back to the question, 739 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,440 Arthur Connor Doyle, apart from writing some landmark and path 740 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:47,520 breaking books, also was interested in criminal justice. 741 00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:51,240 And much like his celebrated character Sherlock Holmes, he 742 00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:55,560 was known to pay close attention to detail and drawing logical 743 00:42:55,560 --> 00:42:58,280 inferences, as he did in this case with Adalji, which I love. 744 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:01,960 It's such a brilliant way of showcasing that talent in the 745 00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,680 real world, where he noticed something about a person who was 746 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:08,160 accused of a crime and just by their mannerism, realized that 747 00:43:08,160 --> 00:43:10,720 they couldn't have possibly committed that crime because Ed 748 00:43:10,720 --> 00:43:14,200 Alji wasn't able to read the newspaper at a distance, so he 749 00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:15,520 had to bring it up close to his face. 750 00:43:15,520 --> 00:43:19,880 And Doyle assumed or surmised accurately, that he would not 751 00:43:19,880 --> 00:43:24,160 have been able to commit those crimes on animals in the dead of 752 00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:26,240 night and escape the cops as well. 753 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:31,720 So that is how this particular landmark case was overturned. 754 00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:36,160 Ed Alji and his conviction was overturned and the Court of 755 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:40,120 Criminal Appeal, which stood for 60 years, was established as 756 00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:43,720 pretty much a direct result of that case and Adolf Beck's case. 757 00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:47,720 What a great way for trivia and pop culture and all of it to 758 00:43:47,720 --> 00:43:50,880 sort of mishmash and intertwine. Yes. 759 00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:54,160 And Koka was the result of all of that. 760 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,840 OK, that was a very good question. 761 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:04,080 And moving on from Saratha Conran Doyle who was a very 762 00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:09,040 talented person to another very talented person, XX is a multi 763 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,800 talented artist who had the following to say during their 764 00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:15,840 SNL monologue. And this is the line I'm going. 765 00:44:15,840 --> 00:44:21,040 OK, people assume that I am like the character X simply because I 766 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,040 wrote it sexually. Depraved, foul mouthed. 767 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,920 I am not a sex addict because I wrote X. 768 00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:29,440 But I did write. Why? 769 00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,160 Because I am a psychopath. So who's X? 770 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:37,360 That's my question. OK, no, I have no clue right now 771 00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:39,560 at all. I can't think of and like, is it 772 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:43,200 a film character? No, so this is an actual person. 773 00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:49,160 So this is an actual person. And they have written 2 very, 774 00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:56,480 very famous modern day pieces of pop culture and two very good 775 00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,360 characters and let's say 2 very good shows. 776 00:44:59,360 --> 00:45:01,360 I'll, I'll give you that much. 2 very good shows. 777 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:04,960 They're talking about those two shows, the show X. 778 00:45:05,280 --> 00:45:07,880 It's about a very sexually depraved and foul mouthed 779 00:45:08,440 --> 00:45:12,320 character. And why about a psychopath? 780 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:18,440 Sexually depraved? I don't know if Barney Stinson 781 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:21,360 fits that bill, but again, he was not foul mouthed. 782 00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,560 I don't remember Barney Stinson being foul mouthed, so probably 783 00:45:24,560 --> 00:45:28,080 not the right answer there. A sexually depraved character? 784 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:29,920 No man, I can't think of anything. 785 00:45:29,920 --> 00:45:32,320 Wow, you probably have to clue me in with some sort of a hint. 786 00:45:32,880 --> 00:45:38,360 OK, so this person has also been involved. 787 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:41,760 I'm not going to tell you in what capacity in the following 788 00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:49,120 movies and TV series, right Broadchurch, The Iron Lady, 789 00:45:49,880 --> 00:45:55,720 Goodbye Christopher Robin, Solo, A Star Wars Story, No Time to 790 00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,320 Die, and Indiana Jones in The Dial of Destiny. 791 00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,240 OK. You didn't tell me in what 792 00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:05,680 capacity you'd so not necessarily as a writer. 793 00:46:05,680 --> 00:46:07,120 It could be in different capacities. 794 00:46:07,720 --> 00:46:10,600 Yes. Another sexually depraved and 795 00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:15,120 foul mouthed character did make me think of Bojack Horseman, but 796 00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:18,280 I don't think that guy has. Good guess, but no. 797 00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,480 Yeah, yeah. I would kind of suggest that you 798 00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:25,280 focus on the last three things I mentioned the last three kind of 799 00:46:25,280 --> 00:46:29,440 shows and movies, because this person was in the news for being 800 00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,600 involved in these projects, which is Solo, A Star Wars 801 00:46:31,600 --> 00:46:37,000 Story, No Time to Die, which is Daniel Craig's final appearance 802 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,480 as James Bond, and the final one is Indiana Jones in The Dial of 803 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:46,440 Destiny. Was this person, by any chance? 804 00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,720 Because you're mentioning it and I don't think a lot of writers 805 00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,960 are that famous. So was this person an actor in 806 00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:55,360 some of these projects? Yes, let me just clarify again 807 00:46:55,680 --> 00:47:00,200 that they were an actor in some of these projects, not all. 808 00:47:00,800 --> 00:47:03,560 See, I noticed something now, because you said that last 809 00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,760 particular sentence. You didn't say he, you said 810 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:08,680 they. Which I have been saying. 811 00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:11,680 I just noticed it now. So which somehow leads you to 812 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:13,000 the fact that it's probably not a man. 813 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,320 And because you had said sexually depraved and foul 814 00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:18,320 mouthed, I had automatically assumed I was just thinking of 815 00:47:18,320 --> 00:47:21,040 male characters and a male writer. 816 00:47:21,040 --> 00:47:24,080 But perhaps it's not a male character or a male writer. 817 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:29,600 It's a woman. Let's take a wild guess and wild 818 00:47:29,600 --> 00:47:32,120 stab at fleabag. Is it Phoebe Warner Bridge? 819 00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:34,880 Because I know she's appeared in Indiana Jones. 820 00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:39,360 Yes, she has. OK, OK, OK, wait. 821 00:47:39,360 --> 00:47:41,800 OK, so I get that X is probably fleabag. 822 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:44,080 X is fleabag. What is? 823 00:47:44,440 --> 00:47:45,560 Y. Yeah. 824 00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:49,160 So she has written something else which was a psychopath. 825 00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:53,280 Yes, yes, fantastic show. No, I don't know. 826 00:47:53,520 --> 00:47:56,560 Unfortunately, I don't know much of Fibiola Bridge's other work, 827 00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,800 which is she has written. I do love Fleabag, but I haven't 828 00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,320 seen the rest of her work. OK, one final clue. 829 00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:05,600 The show Why is a spy thriller series spy? 830 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,400 Thriller series? Is it a famous series? 831 00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:12,640 Oh, very, very, very famous. Multiple Emmy and Golden Globe 832 00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,560 nominations. Oh OK, no, I don't know. 833 00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,120 What is the name of this? So the one that I'm talking 834 00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:23,680 about is Killing Eve. I've heard of it but I've 835 00:48:23,720 --> 00:48:26,320 literally never even seen like a single episode. 836 00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:28,520 You will have to watch at least the first couple of seasons. 837 00:48:28,760 --> 00:48:33,600 Jodie Comer is a revelation in that I became a big fan of Go 838 00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:35,120 Jodie Comer after watching the show. 839 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,320 So Killing Eve, which I'd also make a pop as a pop culture 840 00:48:38,320 --> 00:48:40,520 recommendation. Killing Eve is a fantastic show 841 00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:44,720 and X is Fleabag. And as you rightly guessed, the 842 00:48:44,720 --> 00:48:49,280 author that I'm talking about is Phoebe Baller Bridge, who, if 843 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:52,600 you did not know, also contributed to the screenplay of 844 00:48:52,600 --> 00:48:55,200 No Time to Die. Oh, OK. 845 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,720 And she voiced a character in Solo. 846 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,080 So let me just put all of that into context so you can actually 847 00:49:02,080 --> 00:49:06,400 hear the actual quote. People assume that I'm like the 848 00:49:06,400 --> 00:49:09,240 character Fleabag simply because I wrote it sexually. 849 00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,520 Depraved, foul mouthed. I'm not a sex addict because I 850 00:49:12,520 --> 00:49:15,920 wrote Fleabag, but I did write Killing Eve because I am a 851 00:49:15,920 --> 00:49:20,360 psychopath. That does sound like something 852 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,320 Phoebe Waller Bridge would say. Yeah, I love it. 853 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:24,000 Very cool. And Fleabag. 854 00:49:24,400 --> 00:49:27,000 It's another recommendation. Fantastic show. 855 00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:29,480 Perfect. And also, you know what? 856 00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:31,480 I need to do better. I need to learn better. 857 00:49:31,480 --> 00:49:34,520 I should not assume that the answer would be a man just 858 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:36,640 because it is sexually depraved at former. 859 00:49:37,240 --> 00:49:39,600 Women can be sexually depraved at former too. 860 00:49:39,640 --> 00:49:41,040 I don't know. I don't know if that is a 861 00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:45,160 feminist stance or not, but I guess that's that's something I 862 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:46,960 should remember and take away. Yeah. 863 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,800 Lovely. OK, so I think that's all the 864 00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:51,440 time we have for our regular questions. 865 00:49:51,880 --> 00:49:54,600 So let's move on to the end of our episode. 866 00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,520 And the audience question which I asked at the beginning of 867 00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,760 today's episode, which word meaning to plan together 868 00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:03,200 secretly is derived from the Latin for breathe with or 869 00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,680 breathe together having the same root as the word respiration. 870 00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,320 So Aditya. I would imagine it is conspire. 871 00:50:11,920 --> 00:50:16,360 Yes, conspiracy or conspire. The noun conspiracy came into 872 00:50:16,360 --> 00:50:20,400 English from the Anglo Norman French word conspiracy, which 873 00:50:20,400 --> 00:50:24,120 derived from the Latin word conspirar, meaning to agree or 874 00:50:24,120 --> 00:50:27,160 plot. The prefix con means with while 875 00:50:27,160 --> 00:50:30,760 spirar means to breathe, suggesting an image of people 876 00:50:30,760 --> 00:50:33,600 who are so close together while plotting that their breaths. 877 00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:37,640 Mingle. OK, so that is a pretty great 878 00:50:38,080 --> 00:50:42,240 audience question because it reminds me of this trivia I 879 00:50:42,240 --> 00:50:47,520 encountered about how breathing and the Latin for spirar has led 880 00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:49,040 to so many different words, Right. 881 00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,840 So obviously respiration and perspiration, which perspiration 882 00:50:53,840 --> 00:50:55,800 is breathe through because you're breathing through your 883 00:50:55,800 --> 00:50:58,080 skin. But there are so many other 884 00:50:58,080 --> 00:50:59,680 words. There is also when you're 885 00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:02,520 striving and reaching for something, you're breathing to 886 00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:06,880 that thing that becomes aspire. So that is where aspiration 887 00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:07,800 comes from. Yeah. 888 00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:11,040 And if you found yourself influenced by an idea or 889 00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:14,480 purpose, that is an idea breathed into you, that is 890 00:51:14,480 --> 00:51:17,560 inspired. So that is how it was breathed 891 00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:19,280 into you. Breathing with a person, 892 00:51:19,280 --> 00:51:22,480 obviously, like I said, conspire because you're doing it with, 893 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:25,520 con with. And when you die, you literally 894 00:51:25,520 --> 00:51:27,840 and figuratively breathe out your last breath, which is why 895 00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:29,920 you expire. Yeah. 896 00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,560 So breathing was associated with the concept of life. 897 00:51:33,560 --> 00:51:35,240 It's a lad. And that's where the word spirit 898 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:38,360 also comes from, by the way. So a lot of interesting 899 00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:41,120 etymologies from just that spirar. 900 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,720 Yes. So what's your pop culture 901 00:51:43,720 --> 00:51:47,160 recommendation, Adya? Oh, I'm going to do a few. 902 00:51:47,320 --> 00:51:50,000 I'm very excited this week because a lot of lovely things 903 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:52,160 have happened. I firstly started off by 904 00:51:52,160 --> 00:51:55,920 watching Angry Young Men, which is on Amazon Prime. 905 00:51:56,160 --> 00:52:00,440 It is ATV series and this talks about Salim Khan and Javed 906 00:52:00,440 --> 00:52:03,480 Akhtar, two people who have featured as a question on our 907 00:52:03,480 --> 00:52:06,400 podcast before Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar. 908 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:12,000 And it talks about their meteoric rise and pretty much 909 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,120 how they changed the face of Bollywood and Hindi cinema in 910 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:21,320 India with their series of hits. I believe 22 out of the 24 films 911 00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,560 that they wrote together were smash hits and some of the most 912 00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,520 iconic names that you can think of. 913 00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:31,800 Sholay, Shan. Zanji and Deewar and Dawn, just 914 00:52:31,800 --> 00:52:35,120 all of these very very iconic films pretty much established 915 00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,160 that angry young man, which is also where this name of the show 916 00:52:38,160 --> 00:52:40,200 comes from. Angry young man trope of Amitabh 917 00:52:40,200 --> 00:52:43,520 Bachchan, which solidified him as the superstar of his era. 918 00:52:43,920 --> 00:52:46,880 Turns out, and this is just a little bit of a spoiler from the 919 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,720 show, but hey, it's a docu series so spoilers don't count. 920 00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,800 But in one of the films, they asked the producers that they 921 00:52:53,800 --> 00:52:58,040 want to be paid ₹1,00,000 more. And a lakh back then was a big 922 00:52:58,040 --> 00:53:01,600 deal ₹1,00,000 more than the highest build star, which in 923 00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:03,560 this case was Amitabh Bachchan. So they got paid. 924 00:53:03,840 --> 00:53:06,480 I think Amitabh Bachchan got paid 21 lakhs 20,00,000 and they 925 00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,800 got paid 1,00,000 which is 21 or 22. 926 00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,320 Whatever. They were paid more than the 927 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,280 lead actor who at this time was the peak of his stardom, and 928 00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:19,960 that's the kind of money that they could command because they 929 00:53:19,960 --> 00:53:25,560 were pretty much guaranteed to produce a hit at the box office. 930 00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:30,280 That's just a taste of the kind of fun, interesting history that 931 00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:31,920 you get to see in this particular shows. 932 00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:35,720 I would highly recommend Prime Video, Angry young men, the 933 00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:37,760 story of Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar. 934 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:41,200 Salim Javed as they were known. The other pop culture 935 00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:43,800 recommendation I have is a movie I watched Choked. 936 00:53:44,160 --> 00:53:47,400 I had not even heard of it, just showed up on my Netflix 937 00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:51,680 recommendation. Great film, I really enjoyed it. 938 00:53:52,080 --> 00:53:55,680 I don't want to give too much of A spoiler, but it is talks about 939 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,480 society and culture and politics in a very interesting way. 940 00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:03,520 Also has some lovely allegorical, metaphorical sort 941 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,760 of representation of how society struggles. 942 00:54:06,080 --> 00:54:09,400 And this is directed and Co produced by Anurag Kashyap. 943 00:54:10,000 --> 00:54:11,600 Wow. And I was surprised. 944 00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,560 Yeah, just like you, I had no idea that he made this film More 945 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:16,960 than the direction. By the way, I gotta give a shout 946 00:54:16,960 --> 00:54:19,520 out to the actors. Just phenomenal acting all 947 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:22,280 across the board. Sammy Care and Rosh and Matthew 948 00:54:22,280 --> 00:54:25,640 just stole my heart in this one. Phenomenal acting. 949 00:54:25,960 --> 00:54:27,920 The other two recommendations I'm going to make from pop 950 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:30,640 culture are going to be two things that are back. 951 00:54:30,960 --> 00:54:34,040 They are happening again and I'm extremely excited about it. 952 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:38,800 Crash Course, which is how John Green and Hank Green shot to 953 00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:40,160 fame. Well, they also shot to fame 954 00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,280 with the Blog Brothers, but Crash Course also gave them a 955 00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,960 lot of prominence on YouTube back in the day. 956 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:48,560 John Green is hosting Crash Course all over again, and this 957 00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:50,880 time it's a crash course on Religion. 958 00:54:51,240 --> 00:54:54,320 I'm very excited about this. Watch Crash Course, all of those 959 00:54:54,320 --> 00:54:56,520 stuff that they've posted in the past, especially the John Green 960 00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,320 stuff. I've always enjoyed that history 961 00:54:58,320 --> 00:55:01,760 and whatnot. And look out for Crash Course on 962 00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:03,480 Religion, which is going to be released soon. 963 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,800 The other thing that is back on, and I think I've recommended it 964 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:10,840 in the past, but here's another shout out to this is Every Frame 965 00:55:10,840 --> 00:55:15,400 of Painting, a YouTube channel which talks about movies and the 966 00:55:15,400 --> 00:55:18,960 guy who used to make it, Tony. So I believe a Canadian editor, 967 00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:23,080 he had stopped making these videos 6-7 years ago. 968 00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,720 And I remember there was a post on Medium or some blog where he 969 00:55:26,720 --> 00:55:28,440 talked about how he was done with it because it was too 970 00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,200 taxing and took too much of effort and you didn't want to go 971 00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,920 back to it. And it broke my heart because it 972 00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,880 was one of those first video essay channels which just purely 973 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:38,960 dedicated to film on YouTube that I loved and I used to the 974 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,720 cinefile and me used to love. Looking forward to any new 975 00:55:41,720 --> 00:55:43,720 video. And he posted a video very 976 00:55:43,720 --> 00:55:46,600 recently just out of the blue. And there's a new video of every 977 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,840 show painting out again in the last, I think week or two weeks. 978 00:55:50,200 --> 00:55:52,640 And I'm very excited. I'm hoping Tony Zoe is back to 979 00:55:52,640 --> 00:55:54,560 posting videos again. So check out the old videos. 980 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:56,840 Check out the new video. I think it's a video called two 981 00:55:56,840 --> 00:55:58,200 shot. So he's talking about the two 982 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:01,040 shot where it's a short where there are two people in the same 983 00:56:01,040 --> 00:56:02,120 short. And he talks about that. 984 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,800 The last recommendation I'm going to make, and I don't even 985 00:56:04,800 --> 00:56:06,880 know if this is a pop culture recommendation, but I'm going to 986 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:11,120 say this is a food item. It's called Notch chips. 987 00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:16,440 And what if you live in, if you live in India and you have 988 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:20,200 access to blanket or dunzo or whatever, you should order 989 00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:21,720 yourself some Notch chips. I trust me. 990 00:56:21,720 --> 00:56:24,200 They're not paying me for this. I've just been eating so much of 991 00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:26,200 this recently that I want people to try it out. 992 00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:30,000 It is prohibitively expensive. It is going to break my bank 993 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,240 very soon because a single packet cost like ₹300.00. 994 00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:36,840 So yeah, don't, don't buy them too much, but buy one packet and 995 00:56:36,840 --> 00:56:38,760 check it out. It is truly something worth 996 00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:40,720 checking out. And as we have never done 997 00:56:40,720 --> 00:56:41,800 before, I'm going to do this one time. 998 00:56:41,800 --> 00:56:43,000 I'm going to recommend a food item. 999 00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,080 Notch. NATCH, Notch chips. 1000 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,640 Go check those out. Wow, that was different. 1001 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,760 But hey, right is the spice of life. 1002 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:53,680 Get it? Get it? 1003 00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:54,880 Spice chips. Yeah. 1004 00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:56,720 Right. OK. 1005 00:56:56,840 --> 00:57:00,120 So my recommendation is already including two of the things I've 1006 00:57:00,120 --> 00:57:03,840 mentioned, which is Killing Eve and Fleabag. 1007 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:08,280 And coming back to the kind of things that I've consumed 1008 00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:12,440 recently, there is a show which I really wanted to recommend 1009 00:57:12,440 --> 00:57:17,600 called Gara Gara, which is the Hindi for 11:11. 1010 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,520 It is an adaptation of the Korean series Signal. 1011 00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:26,680 Now, I'd watched the original Korean series Signal many years 1012 00:57:26,680 --> 00:57:29,080 ago and I really loved it at the time. 1013 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:33,240 And this is a very, very good adaptation and starring Raghav 1014 00:57:33,240 --> 00:57:36,800 Junior, who I think we have mentioned on the podcast before 1015 00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,360 about the movie Kill. And I recently kind of just put 1016 00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,560 it together. I don't know if you remember 1017 00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,680 Aditya. Do you remember around 10 years 1018 00:57:46,680 --> 00:57:51,160 ago there was this viral clip of this dude who appeared on a 1019 00:57:51,440 --> 00:57:55,520 dance show and started doing this kind of slow motion walk? 1020 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,480 I believe you were talking about crock. 1021 00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,040 Rose. Yes, crock rose. 1022 00:58:00,280 --> 00:58:03,240 I did not put together that Crock Rose was Raghav Jayal. 1023 00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:06,960 I used to dance a lot more back then, I don't as much anymore. 1024 00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,000 So being on YouTube and watching dance videos was pretty much 1025 00:58:10,000 --> 00:58:11,960 like most of what I did with my day. 1026 00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,480 And the Crock Rose videos were something I obsessed already. 1027 00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,840 I tried to do it so many times in my dorm room in my college. 1028 00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,520 Just keep a class. I'm just trying to do that move 1029 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:25,360 where he walks, slow motion walks up and I believe it is 1030 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,600 Madhuri Dixit or somebody who is a guest judge in that episode. 1031 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:30,640 And he gives her a flower and does that in this beautiful slow 1032 00:58:30,640 --> 00:58:32,680 motion move. And I thought, oh God, if only 1033 00:58:32,680 --> 00:58:35,240 one day I can do it. And who knew this man had so 1034 00:58:35,240 --> 00:58:38,120 many other talents as well? Yeah, I mean, he's quite 1035 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:40,240 natural. So Gara Gara. 1036 00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,920 I would also recommend that you can try and watch the original 1037 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:45,040 Korean show on which it is based. 1038 00:58:45,040 --> 00:58:47,520 It's called Signal. Another one I wanted to 1039 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,680 recommend actually. This just came off the top of my 1040 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,160 head because of Aditya's question about Sir Arthur Conan 1041 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:57,840 Doyle using his powers of observation to prove the 1042 00:58:57,840 --> 00:59:00,520 innocence of a wrongly convicted person. 1043 00:59:00,800 --> 00:59:03,880 And there's a movie that I was immediately reminded of called 1044 00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:07,720 Primal Fear, which is starring Edward Norton in one of his 1045 00:59:07,720 --> 00:59:11,000 first few roles and Richard Gere as an attorney. 1046 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:15,360 I'm going to say nothing more. Just watch the movie. 1047 00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,880 You are not going to be disappointed. 1048 00:59:18,680 --> 00:59:22,080 It's one of those movies that was ruined for me because I saw 1049 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:25,640 the Hindi adaptation of it. Oh, there's a Hindi adaptation 1050 00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:27,480 of it. There is a Hindi adaptation of 1051 00:59:27,480 --> 00:59:30,400 it and it is a bad adaptation. It was very annoying. 1052 00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:34,000 That movie was ruined for me in this terrible, terrible way. 1053 00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,440 Let's not put out the name of the Hindi adaptation here. 1054 00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:42,080 So Primal Fear Gaara Gaara, which is basically the Hindi for 1055 00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:46,360 11:11, which is a remake of the original Korean show Signal and 1056 00:59:46,400 --> 00:59:50,160 a Fleabag and Killing Eve. That's, I think, quite enough 1057 00:59:50,360 --> 00:59:53,800 from me this week. That is a lot of pop culture 1058 00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:56,800 recommendations and I feel bad, but I have to give a shout out 1059 00:59:56,800 --> 01:00:00,320 once more to Arjun's recommendation, which was 1060 01:00:00,320 --> 01:00:03,520 blistering Barnacles, The Rambles and Rages of Captain 1061 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,440 Haddock, A coffee table book sounds interesting. 1062 01:00:05,440 --> 01:00:07,000 I haven't seen it, but I didn't recommend it. 1063 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,720 Check it out. And the other thing that we 1064 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:11,400 spoke about extensively, some Jim Carrey movies. 1065 01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:14,600 So literally just go Google best Jim Carrey movies and watch. 1066 01:00:14,680 --> 01:00:16,840 All of them. Many Jim Carrey movies, Yeah. 1067 01:00:17,800 --> 01:00:19,200 I'll give you a non recommendation. 1068 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,320 You already said the Bollywood film that is an adaptation of 1069 01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:23,400 Primal Fear. Don't watch that. 1070 01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:26,000 I'm not going to name that. You know, another movie that was 1071 01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,560 ruined for me? Usual suspects Vineet. 1072 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:31,680 Usual suspects. You watch was chocolate. 1073 01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,120 Oh God I feel so bad for you when it comes to movie watching. 1074 01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:40,080 For me, there was a time before I watched Usual Suspects and the 1075 01:00:40,080 --> 01:00:44,200 time after I watched it. Kaiser Soze literally blew my 1076 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,000 mind. I did not see that ending 1077 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,200 coming. Anybody who says that they did 1078 01:00:49,200 --> 01:00:55,160 is lying. That is straight up lie perfect. 1079 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,720 Lovely long list of recommendations. 1080 01:00:58,200 --> 01:01:01,520 We do this for you.
