This is a quizzing trivia 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:12,800 podcast show join us as we dive deep into history, science, pop 4 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:15,520 culture and so much more. Let's get quizzing. 5 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:23,080 Welcome One welcome all to episode #72 of Are You Quizzing 6 00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:26,680 Me, your favorite quizzing and trivia podcast show. 7 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:29,960 Aditya and I are back for another round of quizzing. 8 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,520 And without further ado, let's move into the meat of the 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,240 quizzing itself. Let's start off today with our 10 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,560 usual audience question, the answer for which I will reveal 11 00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,720 at the end of today's episode. So today's question for you, our 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,640 dear audience, is this iconic company logo is actually a 13 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,960 stylized version of two people, the company and the customer 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:57,160 shaking hands. Let me repeat the question. 15 00:00:57,400 --> 00:01:01,760 This iconic company logo is actually a stylized version of 16 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,519 two people, the company and the customer shaking hands. 17 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:10,960 Identify the company. I will reveal the answer to this 18 00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:13,600 question at the end of today's episode. 19 00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:18,160 So let's start off today's main question quizzing series with 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,120 Aditya, who has just back from finding himself in the 21 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,880 Himalayas. So before you start the 22 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,200 question, Aditya, do you want to tell our audience how the 23 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,280 Himalayas are right now? How about I just combine that 24 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:34,280 into my first question, Vineet? And that, trust me, was not 25 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,160 planned. That is just a crazy 26 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,080 coincidence. But yeah, please do. 27 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,360 So I was in the Himalayas, I was trekking, and I encountered a 28 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,240 fun piece of trivia. And of course, I had to include 29 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,200 it. So without any further ado 30 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,960 beneath, here's the first question for this episode. 31 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:58,040 Tell me, who is the first person to put two feet on top of Mount 32 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,200 Everest? Oh, I feel this is a trick 33 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,720 question. When you say 2 feet, because I 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:08,320 think Edmund Hillary's famous photograph has him with just one 35 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,000 foot on top, one foot at the bottom, not bottom. 36 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:14,360 I mean, like, he's got one foot on the peak and he's got a flag 37 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,760 with it, right? So is that the reason that's not 38 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,800 Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay then? 39 00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:24,160 That would be quite the stride, like 1 foot at the bottom, one 40 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,360 foot on the top. Bottom. 41 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,160 I did not mean at the bottom of the base of Mount Everest, but 42 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:32,440 actually I think it's supposed to be pronounced Everest, right? 43 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,760 But we all call it Everest. Do you do you know who it's 44 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720 named after? I think it's a George Everest 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:45,000 who's he's somebody in England, but he's never visited Everest. 46 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,840 So he has nothing to do with Everest, but they named it after 47 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,800 him anyway. I believe it's something like 48 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:53,520 that, not sure. You never failed to impress me, 49 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,720 Vineet. Of course you are right, it is. 50 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,800 It is a George Everest. And yes, his name was pronounced 51 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:01,760 Everest. And of course the modern 52 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,040 pronunciation is Everest, so I won't say it's incorrect. 53 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,840 It just has evolved over time. Yeah, it's yeah. 54 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:11,160 George himself, by the way, was against that being the name of 55 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,400 the mountain for a couple of reasons. 56 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,960 And his reasons were it could not be written in Hindi and it 57 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,240 couldn't be pronounced by Indians or the native of India 58 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,160 as he called them. So he was not very far naming 59 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,880 them, naming the mountain Everest or Everest after 60 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,920 himself. It was not named by him, by the 61 00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:35,400 way, obviously because he didn't want to name it Andrew Walk, the 62 00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,720 Survey General of India. The British Surveyor General of 63 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,080 India named it after his predecessor, who was George 64 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:45,520 Everest. So his successor named it Andrew 65 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:46,200 Walker. OK. 66 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:51,560 But coming back to the question itself, who was the first person 67 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,560 to put two feet on top of Mount Everest? 68 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,240 OK, so I have a feeling there's a trick here somewhere. 69 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:02,120 So first person to put two feet. Now what if those are not human 70 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,440 feet? Are you saying they added two 71 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,240 feet to the top of Mount Everest? 72 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,880 So then anybody who put something there would have put 2 73 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,280 feet to on the top of Mount Everest, right? 74 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,000 Or are you talking about anatomical feet? 75 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:20,800 So let me give you a hint which is not very relevant to what you 76 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,080 just said. You are in the vicinity, you're 77 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,400 not too off. But the hint is the name or the 78 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:31,080 person in question. It has already been mentioned in 79 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,800 our conversation so far. OK, so as my salamander brain 80 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,480 has not just done, I've forgotten the name of the 81 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,120 surveyor General who was the successor of Everest. 82 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,720 Are we talking about him because during the Great Trigonometric 83 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,280 Survey he added higher erase the height of Mount Everest by two 84 00:04:49,280 --> 00:04:52,240 feet or something? Have you, have you hacked my 85 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,720 computer? Do you have access to my trivia 86 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,720 by some chance? How? 87 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,120 How could you have possibly cracked that so Well, How could 88 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,080 you possibly crack that so? Easily I, I, I've been listening 89 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:05,560 to a lot of lateral where the questions you have to really 90 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,920 analyse the questions because they do this kind of, you know, 91 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,360 your kind of thing where they put a trick in it. 92 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:14,640 But yeah, that that's, that's how I guess you might be doing 93 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:17,640 something like that. I wish I could take credit for 94 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,120 this. This isn't my word play, but OK, 95 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,160 let me tell you what the whole thing is, which you have pretty 96 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,560 much cracked yourself. Sir Andrew Scott Walk, who was 97 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960 the British Surveyor General of India. 98 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,400 And I don't know if I'm pronouncing it right. 99 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,280 Steve Walk. Mark Waugh. 100 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:42,200 OK, OK. I've been trying to do a EPI 101 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:49,800 glottis thing over there, but Andrew Wah was the person just 102 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,480 going to power through this. Now stop laughing. 103 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,800 Really, please let me get through this. 104 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,640 Was in charge of trying to measure the different mountains 105 00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,000 in Himalayas and trying to figure out the highest ones over 106 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120 there. And when they came across 107 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,520 Everest, Everest as it was called back then, he was in 108 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,760 charge of measuring it. They came up with the 109 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960 measurement and there were multiple measurements done. 110 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:18,800 They came up with the measurement of exactly 29,000 111 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,320 feet. OK. 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,680 Now they did not want to reveal that to the public because they 113 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:25,600 thought nobody would believe them if they came up with such a 114 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,160 round Number. So they reported the height of 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,680 Everest as 29,000 and two feet, which is why he is sometimes 116 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:39,240 playfully credited with being, quote, the first person to put 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,120 two feet on top of Mount Everest. 118 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:47,320 Fun fact, do you know how tall Mount Everest is? 119 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,560 So this is obviously a very early measurement and I am, if 120 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:56,080 I'm not wrong, this in the 1850s that this measurement was 121 00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,320 decided. However, there was I because 122 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,080 I've gone through this trivia, I do know what we're talking 123 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:07,000 about. It is exactly 8848 meters. 124 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:12,480 And this was something that they agreed to very recently. 125 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,400 China and Nepal came to an agreement very recently as to 126 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,560 the height of Everest because they had discrepancy over their 127 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,760 measurements. And specifically, I think they 128 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,120 were arguing about whether they should include the ice or the 129 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,320 snow on top into the height of the mountain or not. 130 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,040 And eventually they decided that yes, this is the height that 131 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,680 they're going to. OK, great answer. 132 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,960 Great answer to that question, but I'm afraid that's not what 133 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,840 we were looking for. The correct answer to that was 134 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,600 nobody knows. What? 135 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,840 Why? OK, so so here's the thing. 136 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,440 This is one of those technicality things. 137 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,720 How do you measure the height of a mountain? 138 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,480 Oh OK. You mean like from the base? 139 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,000 From sea level? From the Earth Centre. 140 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,160 Exactly. And how do you know see like how 141 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,440 do you get to sea level from like the sea is very far away 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,120 from Mount Everest, right? So how do you get that kind of a 143 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,600 precise measurement? You don't where is the base of 144 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,800 the mountain? Is it to, is it at sea level or 145 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,760 is it where you can see the base of the mountain, right? 146 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,360 Physically go and check. But then if you're if the 147 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,560 mountain's already on a raised plateau surface, then do you 148 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:23,880 include the plateau's height or do you not? 149 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,240 You see the problem? I do see the problem beneath. 150 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:30,080 I'm very, very cognizant of the problem. 151 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,880 There is no correct actually. Basically we haven't agreed upon 152 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:39,880 height for Mount Everest, but there is no actual We probably 153 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:41,960 will never know exactly how tall it is. 154 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,280 And plus it keeps changing every year because Mount Everest I 155 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,600 think grows by around 2cm or something every year. 156 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,440 It does, it does. And then of course the height 157 00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:55,440 also changes between winter and summer by around 2 meters if I'm 158 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,440 not wrong. You are right. 159 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,280 Do you know the Well, if since we are talking, and this is 160 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,800 again not our usual diet of questions because we don't get 161 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,440 any technicalities, but since we are here, do you know the point 162 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,800 furthest away from the centre of the earth, if you were to 163 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:14,560 measure a mountain quote UN quote by that. 164 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,840 Stick What is it called? Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. 165 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,720 Oh God, man, what is up with you? 166 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:33,800 It is Chimborazo in Ecuador, and it is a whole 2168 meters 167 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,840 further from the center of the earth than Everest is. 168 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800 So yeah, that is. If you were if you were also to 169 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,440 consider from the base physical base to the top of the peak, 170 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,480 which would be the tallest mountain on Earth? 171 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,800 That would be Mauna Kea in Hawaii. 172 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,680 You knew that one, Yes, Yes, because it is an underwater 173 00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:58,800 mountain, right? And what we see on land is just 174 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:04,840 the peak. It rises over 10,000 meters, 10 175 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:07,000 kilometers from its base. It's insane. 176 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:08,520 It's insane. Insane. 177 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,560 That was a very fun question and a very fun interlude. 178 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,480 So I'm going to go into something I've been a kind of 179 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520 keeping in a pocket for a fun moment. 180 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:24,320 This is something that was, how do I put this quite interesting. 181 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:27,240 And it's a fascination for me. May not be a fascination for a 182 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,760 lot of other people, but let's go with it and see if you like 183 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:33,320 it anyway. Have you heard of terms of 184 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,400 venery? As in VENERY. 185 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:37,800 No, I. Haven't. 186 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,720 No. OK, so most classically known 187 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,440 terms of venery can be traced back to the Book of Saint Alban, 188 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:51,560 published in 1486. The book is attributed to 189 00:10:51,560 --> 00:10:55,760 Juliana Berner, who came up with imaginative yet oddly 190 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,240 appropriate terms of venery. What am I talking about? 191 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,120 And what are terms of Henry? You started the question by 192 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,560 asking me if I know terms of Henry. 193 00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:05,640 I told you I don't know terms of Henry and you ended the question 194 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:06,880 by asking what are the terms of Henry. 195 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,000 Yes. No, because that's the that's 196 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,480 the clue I'm giving you is that the most classically known terms 197 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,040 of Henry can be traced back to the Book of Saint Alban, 198 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,880 published in 1486. OK so follow up question is do I 199 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,680 know the Saint Alban book? And the answer to that is also 200 00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:28,840 no, I don't so this question so far as there will be 0 clues we 201 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:32,160 need. Let's just put this, this is 202 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,560 like this is a gateway question. Most people would not be able to 203 00:11:35,560 --> 00:11:38,640 tell you what terms of energy are or I'll tell you what the 204 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,560 Book of Saint Alban is about. The Book of Saint Alban is about 205 00:11:42,560 --> 00:11:46,560 hunting, hunting, trapping, you know, basically killing 206 00:11:46,560 --> 00:11:48,400 innocent, innocent animals in the words for food. 207 00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:51,480 And you said this is what time period? 208 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:56,520 14th century. 1486. OK, the 15th century. 15th 209 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:01,960 century. And terms of venery are derived 210 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,640 from that book. I'm assuming it has something to 211 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,840 do with food. Not, no, not. 212 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:10,120 Food. Oh, interesting. 213 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,040 Then the second guess would be some sort of warfare or some 214 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,120 sort of guerrilla warfare technique. 215 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:22,200 No, not that either. I can tell you that venery is a 216 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,800 medieval term for hunting. So it has to do with hunting 217 00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,600 then? No, like technically terms of 218 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,920 venery in the name would translate to terms of hunting, 219 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,680 but it's not terms of hunting, it's just derived. 220 00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:40,240 From that. Because the use of these terms 221 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,120 of venery were more common in the Middle Ages during hunting, 222 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,840 like when somebody's going hunting. 223 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:53,760 OK, this then it I'm thinking maybe it has to do with the some 224 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:58,480 sort of marksmanship. No, no, no terms or term, Raj. 225 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,840 OK, let's forget that. So then what? 226 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,000 OK, if you're going hunting, what's your purpose? 227 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,200 Bragging rights. OK, let's take the Middle Ages. 228 00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:10,520 OK. Food. 229 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:13,360 OK, so you would be hunting what for food? 230 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,440 Animals. For food. 231 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,080 OK, so then terms of venery animals put it together. 232 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,640 Do you have any? Anything springs to mind? 233 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:26,360 Which is why I went with culinary and I was thinking 234 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,040 maybe it has something to do with cuts of meat and stuff like 235 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:29,960 that. But again, that is. 236 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,160 Let's go one step before that, before it reaches the table like 237 00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:39,480 you're in the forest. You know, let me go into that 238 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,360 more. Let me go into that space. 239 00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:46,040 All right, I'm in the forest and it's dense foliage are all 240 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:50,000 around me and I'm I'm tracking an animal through the. 241 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,280 Okay, here you said tracking an animal. 242 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,960 What if it is not an animal? What if you're overestimating my 243 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,440 hunting capabilities when it Let me handle one animal first? 244 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,080 Okay, no, I'll I'll play along. I'll play along. 245 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,080 So multiple animals. Oh, okay. 246 00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:11,720 Does it have to do with the groups of animal? 247 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,280 Is it? Is it what what we call the a 248 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,960 certain group of animals that term for it? 249 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:18,720 I guess the collective noun for it is that what? 250 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,480 Yes, yes. So terms of enery is the actual 251 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,600 proper terminology for words of collective groupings of animals. 252 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:33,160 Brilliant. I love that so much. 253 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:37,320 I went through all this rigmarole so that I would have 254 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:42,280 an excuse to give you certain terms of energy and see if you 255 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:45,120 can guess which animals they belong to. 256 00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,840 Those were terms belong. Are you ready? 257 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,480 OK, So what would these are all going to be? 258 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,720 Fill in the blanks. OK, I'll start with an easy one. 259 00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:00,720 A murder of Dash. Crows. 260 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,400 Yes, very good. A murder of crows. 261 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,000 So the collective noun for a collective group of crows are 262 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,920 called a murder of crows, like we would say a pride of lions, 263 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:11,280 etcetera. So you get the idea, right? 264 00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,480 OK, so let's go into the most serious one. 265 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:22,920 Kaleidoscope, a kaleidoscope of blank, a kaleidoscope of the 266 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,040 platypus. No, I mean, many of these terms, 267 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,120 Nah, they kind of evoke something about the animal. 268 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,200 OK, kaleidoscope of Peacocks. Like you, I mean, like, you've 269 00:15:36,200 --> 00:15:38,680 got the right idea. But a kaleidoscope. 270 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:41,760 Like a kaleidoscope, you want so many colors, right? 271 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,080 Chameleons. No, I'll, I'll give. 272 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,840 I'll just tell you it's a kaleidoscope of butterflies. 273 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,080 That's a beautiful, beautiful phrase. 274 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,600 Well. I know, I know, right? 275 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:58,320 OK, An unkindness of. An unkindness of hippos. 276 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,800 No, actually, those are called a bloat of hippos, by the way, but 277 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:07,720 an unkindness of. What are unkind animals? 278 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:13,200 Let me go with the. This this particular animal, 279 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,960 their favorite word might be never more. 280 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,880 Wait, I feel like this is a music. 281 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,640 Music This is a literature reference Literature reference 282 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:31,760 Nevermore the poem Nevermore both the Raven Nevermore Edgar 283 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,640 Allan Poe. I was thinking no more, there's 284 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600 a band, but OK, never mind. OK, it's a Ravens. 285 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,520 It's Ravens. It's a Ravens. 286 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,440 It's an unkindness of Ravens, a flamboyance of flamingos. 287 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,960 Very good. A convocation of. 288 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,040 Owls. No, I don't think it's OWL. 289 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,160 No. Convocation of something very. 290 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:58,600 Regal. Like think America skunk? 291 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:04,280 No, no eagle. An eagle. 292 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,839 Yes, convocation of Eagles. Yes, a parliament of. 293 00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:12,200 Oh, I know a parliament. Parliament of owls. 294 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,720 That's owls, right? Yes, a parliament of owls, 295 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,720 Rooks, the birds, you know the kind. 296 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:19,200 They look like crows but with white beaks. 297 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,560 Rooks are also called Parliament of rooks, so that's also there. 298 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:27,599 OK, now I'm going to give you 3 terms which would apply to one 299 00:17:27,599 --> 00:17:32,000 basic type of animal. OK, a cry of or a cowardice of 300 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:37,600 or a comedy of. Cry cowardice Comedy. 301 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,240 Yes. Cowardice. 302 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,240 My clue to you would be for the first two, OK, cry and 303 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:45,920 cowardice. I'm not going to tell you which 304 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,720 clue is for which word, but one of them is think Julius Caesar, 305 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,680 OK, And the second one I would think tell you to think Cartoon 306 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:58,280 Network to. Encourage the cowardly dog for 307 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,800 dog. Yes. 308 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,000 So these are all different terms for different types of dogs. 309 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,400 So when you're having hounds, when you're having hounds, you 310 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:10,360 got them a cry of hounds. OK. 311 00:18:11,360 --> 00:18:15,840 The in Julius Caesar, after the death of Caesar, I think it's 312 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:20,600 Mark Anthony who says cry havoc and let's slip the dogs of war. 313 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,720 So hence the term dogs of war. Hence the term cry comedy is for 314 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,480 boxers. You know the dog, Boxer dogs, 315 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:30,960 they're called comedy of boxes. Yeah. 316 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,400 So there are so many of these. Some of the others, which I 317 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,160 really like. A destruction of Wildcats and 318 00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,480 obstinacy of Buffalo, a protection of armadillos, a 319 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,360 consortium of octopi. A tuxedo of Penguins. 320 00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:51,880 I should do not a tuxedo of Penguins. 321 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,920 I heard that one, yeah. Yeah, and an embarrassment of 322 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:00,000 giant pandas. Though I'm assuming a lot of 323 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,360 these have come about much later than the 15th century. 324 00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,680 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So they started off with a lot 325 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,040 of these from the 15th century, and then people have just kept 326 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,280 adding on to them. And there are so many, which can 327 00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:13,720 apply to multiple different animals. 328 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,960 These, the ones I've mentioned, are usually associated with only 329 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,240 these. OK. 330 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,440 There are others, like, say, for example, we've spoken about 331 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,800 Ravens, right, And unkindness of Ravens. 332 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,480 You can also call them a conspiracy of Ravens, but at the 333 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,160 same time that's also applicable to lemurs. 334 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,920 So it'd be a conspiracy of lemurs or a conspiracy of 335 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,520 Ravens. And you had guessed a Peacock, 336 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,280 right? So for P fowl, there's a term 337 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,320 called the ostentation and ostentation of P fowl. 338 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:49,280 Wow. Love that ostentation, so many 339 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,560 syllables. Yeah, and there's a huge, huge, 340 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,840 huge list online. I would encourage our audience. 341 00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,520 It's a lot of fun to just go through these names. 342 00:19:58,720 --> 00:19:59,880 Some of them are just so much fun. 343 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:03,440 I'd like to just kind of pepper them into my day-to-day life as 344 00:20:03,440 --> 00:20:05,920 well. I really love a model of crows. 345 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,320 I mean, like, that's just, it's just, I mean, like somebody 346 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,000 should make a band called A Murder of Crows. 347 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:14,120 I, I have to tell you at this point, I gave across this 348 00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:19,720 hilarious meme, I guess on Instagram, which was about, oh, 349 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,720 how about we try to do the singular version of plurals in 350 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,720 movie titles, right? So like Jaws becomes jaw. 351 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,400 So. OK, a crow on the Orient 352 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:42,120 Express. That is amazing that. 353 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:49,400 Is amazing. Oh God. 354 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,040 OK. So we've spent enough silly time 355 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,760 on animals and funny names of their groupings, so let's move 356 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,360 back to you, Aditya. Well, from that multi syllabic, 357 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:04,240 very fancy sounding English, let's move to something which is 358 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,320 very much my territory. And I have to give credit to 359 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,440 Ayush because Ayush Dash, one of our regular listeners, he sent 360 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,960 this question and somehow he sent it for me to ask you. 361 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,240 And it's like, I feel so seen, like he truly recognized who I 362 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,320 am with this question. OK, you're scaring me now. 363 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,720 No, no, it's just it's so dumb. It's so fun. 364 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:31,200 I love it. OK, OK, so and it also works 365 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:37,240 because it is from the field of tech and I am at I was at one 366 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,520 point from that as well. So let's ask you the question. 367 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:47,240 As Ayush has posted, X is a bug that seems to disappear or 368 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:51,520 change when you try to debug it. They are the dread of every 369 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,520 experienced software developer since they know that 370 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:57,840 encountering this type of bug will undoubtedly be hard to 371 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,960 study, understand and resolve. What is this bug called 372 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:03,800 Schrodinger's? Bug. 373 00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:09,400 You are in the realm. You are very much in the realm. 374 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,320 Wait, what? Yeah. 375 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:14,600 OK. I'll be very honest with you. 376 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,200 I didn't have anything else, but because you mentioned that it 377 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,680 may be there may not be there, we don't know whether it's there 378 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:21,920 or not. And I that's. 379 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:29,400 Wait, Heisenberg, Heisenberg was 11th grade. 380 00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:33,040 Chemistry, physics, whatever. So it's pretty much that time 381 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:34,640 that you would have. Yeah. 382 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,120 So you would have probably studied all of the Schrodinger 383 00:22:38,120 --> 00:22:40,480 Heisenberg at the same time. Is it Heisenberg? 384 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,280 What? Is the name man? 385 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,680 No, no. I am such an idiot. 386 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,760 I just gave the answer away. I supposed to say Schrodinger? 387 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,960 Such a fool. I was so excited for this 388 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,560 question. Oh man, I wish. 389 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,200 I'm so sorry. I was going to say Schrodinger. 390 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,680 This was entirely. We'll keep the question. 391 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,000 We'll, we'll keep the we'll. Definitely keep and we're not 392 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,840 going to edit this out. I will ask another question, but 393 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,560 let me just give you the answer. It is Heisenbug, and I love it 394 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:24,280 because it is the exact kind of trivia that my heart craves. 395 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,720 You know, you know, you know how to debug one of those. 396 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,120 I'll tell you how to debug one of those. 397 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,520 OK, type in the command print, say my name and the answer will 398 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,400 be Heisenberg Pop Culture Tech mix. 399 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,680 Except Vineet, that's not how you debug anything. 400 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:49,560 Nobody has ever been a print command to debug something. 401 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,160 Like you told you, you said you can't find it, right? 402 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:53,280 You don't know if it's there or not. 403 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:55,320 Now you're forcing it to tell you that it's there. 404 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,440 So the moment it. Reveals itself. 405 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,400 That's when you strike. See Two Steps Ahead 2. 406 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,520 Steps ahead like I can't. Well, clearly I'm I'm being the 407 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:09,000 idiot today so so revealing answers in my question, but 408 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,440 Irish regardless of me screwing that up. 409 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,680 Thank you for that question. Let me ask you another question 410 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,680 and this one again, thanks to Irish and this would probably be 411 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,120 something right up your alley. So you're probably going to 412 00:24:19,120 --> 00:24:25,680 enjoy this in the Treaty of Park Ave. also recognized as the XY 413 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,760 treaty. So there are two names in it. 414 00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:33,160 It was agreed that each of the authors would acknowledge the 415 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,240 other as the world's greatest writer in their respective 416 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,840 speciality while describing themselves and as merely second 417 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:44,480 best. According to the terms, X would 418 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:48,120 claim Y as the greatest science fiction writer ever, and in 419 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:51,360 return Y would declare X as the greatest science writer. 420 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,160 Both of these authors retain the liberty to publicly to publicly 421 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,120 acknowledge themselves as the second best to the other. 422 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,120 Who are X&Y or what is the name of the treaty XY? 423 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:08,000 Treaty of Park Ave. you said. And one of them is a science, 424 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,800 right? So they both write science and 425 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,840 science fiction, But they agreed that one of them would say 426 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:16,600 science fiction and the other would would say, OK, and what's 427 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,240 the time frame? Can you give me a time frame? 428 00:25:19,120 --> 00:25:22,160 All right, I'll give it to you. Basically 20th century. 429 00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:25,920 So you need somebody who's a Popular Science writer and a 430 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:27,320 science. So you need two people who are 431 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,120 Popular Science and science fiction writers. 432 00:25:32,120 --> 00:25:39,600 First name that comes to mind is either Ray Bradbury and Isaac 433 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Asimov, but I don't think they were that flippant. 434 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,560 Like Asimov had a sense of humor. 435 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,400 I don't know about Ray Bradbury there so much. 436 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,120 He's pretty very serious. I don't know. 437 00:25:50,120 --> 00:25:52,760 Does Ray Bradbury qualify as a science fiction writer? 438 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,960 Yeah, no, he did. He did write science fiction, 439 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,320 right? He did write a lot of science 440 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,200 fiction. I Yeah. 441 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,720 I mean, I've only read Fahrenheit 451 so I I'm not sure 442 00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:03,880 of the rest of his. No, he did. 443 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:05,640 He did. He did write science fiction. 444 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,120 I'm fairly sure of that if my memory serves me right. 445 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,320 OK, but it's OK Is Isaac Asimov right? 446 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,080 Because Asimov is the greatest science fiction, right? 447 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,840 Absolutely. Asimov is one of them. 448 00:26:17,360 --> 00:26:20,080 Who is the other? So when you say against science 449 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,960 writers, Feynman did not write science fiction. 450 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:25,800 Otherwise he was very good science writer. 451 00:26:26,360 --> 00:26:28,080 Richard Feynman, Nobel Prize winner. 452 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:32,800 So the XY treaty would acknowledge that one of them was 453 00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:34,760 the better science fiction writer and the other was the 454 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,760 better science writer. Asimov was the science writer. 455 00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:40,560 Who was the better science fiction writer? 456 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,520 Oh. Asimov was the science writer, 457 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:47,720 not the science fiction writer. I am as surprised as you are. 458 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,800 Wow, OK, that really knocked me out for a park because I had 459 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,320 Asimov begged as a science fiction writer. 460 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,080 So who's the only author who might give Asimov a run for his 461 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:00,880 money when it comes to science fiction? 462 00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:06,160 Oh, that's a tough Honestly, I don't think anybody's had that 463 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,800 much of an impact on science fiction as Asimov has had. 464 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,920 I'd have to agree with you, but it's just that this question 465 00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,000 demands an answer. So for the purpose of this 466 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,000 question, who would it be? I agree, though I feel Asimov is 467 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,880 probably the GOAT in this question. 468 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,880 True, true. If you're thinking purely 469 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:34,120 science fiction writer who has a bigger reach, Frank Herbert, the 470 00:27:34,120 --> 00:27:36,520 author of Dune. No, no. 471 00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:38,800 Robert Heinlein. No. 472 00:27:39,360 --> 00:27:44,880 Also very very famous obviously, but was considered in fact, 473 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,240 actually I'd have to give it to you, was considered in the top 474 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,440 three as the big three of science fiction, with the other 475 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,720 two being X&Y. If I would say that there is one 476 00:27:55,720 --> 00:28:00,040 other author who's had a huge impact on the way we depict 477 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,640 science fiction, at least now in the 90s and the 2000s, would be 478 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,840 Philip K Dick. Good guess, but no. 479 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,520 OK, I'm running out of science fiction authors who are like 480 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:10,240 huge names. Now I'm going to go to like 481 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:13,360 smaller names. Greg Baer. 482 00:28:13,360 --> 00:28:16,800 But no, Greg Baer wasn't a contemporary of science of his 483 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,080 Asimov, even though he's written some fantastic novels. 484 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:21,640 Wait, who? Who had written Rendezvous with 485 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:23,920 Rama? Wait, no, no, no. 486 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,400 I think you're you're you're doing deep cuts now. 487 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,320 It's not, it's not that obscure a name. 488 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,760 OK. I need a clue. 489 00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:37,680 OK, this particular author lived out the last years of his life 490 00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:42,560 in Sri Lanka, not too far away. It is the person I'm thinking 491 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,840 about it, the guy who wrote Rendezvous Durama. 492 00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:49,120 I'm. Oh God, he's very famous for 493 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:51,840 that novel of. Right, right, right, right. 494 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,720 He did write Ronda with Rama. You're right, you're right. 495 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:56,240 Yeah, 2001 a space odyssey. I'm trying to remember his name 496 00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Oh God, my brain 2001 a space odyssey. 497 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,600 Why can't I remember his name? I've read it like 1000 times. 498 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:04,760 I'm. Sure. 499 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:07,560 Yeah, I don't doubt that. I'll give it to you. 500 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:10,120 It's fine. You you name drop Rendezvous 501 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,120 Drama and 2001 A Space Odyssey. I can be kind enough to tell you 502 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,280 the answer is Arthur C Clark. Arthur Clark. 503 00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,520 Yes. OK, this is just dumb. 504 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,200 I feel dumb now. I forgot. 505 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,960 Arthur C Clark. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 506 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:25,320 He's. He's had a huge. 507 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,200 Yes. Was the other author in 508 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,200 question, Arthur C Clark, along with Heinlein, as you had 509 00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:35,160 already mentioned? And Asimov was considered the 510 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,320 they were together considered the Big Three of science fiction 511 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,600 pretty much through the 20th century. 512 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:44,480 And the coming back to the original question, it is the 513 00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:50,040 Clark Asimov Treaty, where Clark would be, yeah, if either of 514 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,400 them were asked, they would say Clark is the better science 515 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,560 fiction writer, Asimov is the better science writer. 516 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,800 And they were free to just say that they were second best to 517 00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,480 the other. You know, what's really, really 518 00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:08,520 surprising is our Clark wrote a lot more of hard science fiction 519 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,200 where, you know, the science has to make sense in his science 520 00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:14,160 fiction, right? Asimov science fiction didn't 521 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:16,640 have to make sense. Like he made-up stuff like 522 00:30:16,640 --> 00:30:19,760 positronic brains and things like that where there's no basis 523 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,840 in actual physics, right? He doesn't he, he never tried to 524 00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,480 explain the physics or what is going on. 525 00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,800 But Clark goes into like detailed descriptions at many 526 00:30:28,800 --> 00:30:31,440 points. So I'm really confused about 527 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:34,480 this. But either way, it's a great 528 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:36,760 question. It is a lovely question. 529 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:41,240 And we have Ayush to thank for both of these trivia, which was 530 00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,520 the first one obviously, that I gave away was Heisenberg. 531 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,560 Beautiful, beautiful pun right there. 532 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:49,800 And the second one being Clark Asimov Treaty. 533 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,400 Yeah. Thank you, Ayush. 534 00:30:52,280 --> 00:30:56,720 Yeah. So I'm going to also ask a 535 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:59,040 question which was sent by Ayush. 536 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,800 However, since it's very closely related to a question that I had 537 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:08,640 kept with me, I'm going to combine these two into like a 538 00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:11,680 two-part question. Or maybe the second part will be 539 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:14,080 a hint to give you the answer to the first part. 540 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:19,400 So in American movies, TV and literature, there's a common 541 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,800 trope known as X, which is a two word term. 542 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:28,200 OK, X here is a two word term. It was popularized by Spike Lee 543 00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:32,320 back in 2001. This character that's X type of 544 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:36,040 characters is usually portrayed by a black person as a 545 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,160 supportive figure helping white protagonists. 546 00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,200 X is often a janitor, sometimes a prisoner. 547 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:46,320 The character often has no past, but simply appears one day to 548 00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,160 help the white protagonist. These characters are typically 549 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:53,320 patient, wise, and possess special powers and will do 550 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:57,040 almost anything, including sacrificing themselves to save 551 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:01,800 the white protagonist. So what is the term that Spike 552 00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:06,360 Lee popularized in 2001? OK, so this has existed from 553 00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640 before, but Spike Lee? No, no. 554 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,680 I mean like he, I think he coined the term. 555 00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,560 I think he coined the term. I think I've heard of this 556 00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:16,280 because it's one of those very common tropes. 557 00:32:16,280 --> 00:32:20,200 It's like whatever, manic Pixie dream girl and stuff like that. 558 00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:24,040 Yes, yes. And it's a two word phrase or 559 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,280 two word name, right? Yes. 560 00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:28,160 Do you want a clue? Yes, please. 561 00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:30,120 I think I need a clue. OK so this is the clue that 562 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,200 AYUSH had given. I'll use my question as the 563 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,800 follow up question to this. So the clues that AYUSH gave us. 564 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:40,440 A comedy fantasy movie called The American Society of X was 565 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:44,120 released featuring Justice Smith, directed by Kobe Libby on 566 00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:48,680 15th March 2024, in which a young man gets recruited into a 567 00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:53,040 secret Society of X people who dedicate their lives to making 568 00:32:53,040 --> 00:32:57,200 white people's lives easier. Although initially enamoured 569 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,840 with his new powers, he begins to question the value of using 570 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,240 supernatural means to do the very thing he's felt obligated 571 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,840 to do his entire life. So there was a movie. 572 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,080 I'd also watched a trailer for this movie. 573 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,600 It was called The American Society of X, released in March 574 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,240 2024. I have a feeling it it uses the 575 00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,000 very politically sensitive word of Negro. 576 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,960 It uses the word Negro. It does use the word Negro. 577 00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:27,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I can't think of what the 578 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:31,680 other word is. I would ask you to condom, you 579 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,240 know, focus your attention on the clue where I am talking 580 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:39,200 about the movie itself. A young man gets recruited into 581 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,080 a secret Society of X people who dedicate their lives to making 582 00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:46,600 white people's lives easier. Although initially enamoured 583 00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:51,720 with his new powers, he begins to question the value of using 584 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:56,520 supernatural means. It's, I think, the magical 585 00:33:56,520 --> 00:34:00,240 Negro, I think. Yes, it is the magical Negro. 586 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:03,560 OK, so you've gotten the first part of the question. 587 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:04,920 Thank you, Ayesh, for that question. 588 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,600 Now the second question or the second part to this is a 589 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:11,199 question I've kept in my Kitty for some time, The Legend of 590 00:34:11,199 --> 00:34:14,719 Bagger Vance. The Legend of Bagger Vance is 591 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:18,960 one of the movies cited by Spike Lee when he first talked about 592 00:34:18,960 --> 00:34:22,520 the Magical Negro, the other moving being The Green Mile. 593 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:26,360 So these are the two movies he put forward when he was talking, 594 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,560 or at least introduced the trope of the Magical Negro. 595 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:33,159 In The Legend of Bagger Vance. Bagger Vance, played by Will 596 00:34:33,159 --> 00:34:39,760 Smith, a mysterious caddy, helps Ranulph Jonah, played by Matt 597 00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,760 Damon, come to grips with his personal demons and play golf 598 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:47,960 again. What was Bagger Vance originally 599 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,760 based on, or at least loosely based on? 600 00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,440 What was? As in, what do you mean by what 601 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:54,960 was? It was a literary. 602 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,400 Work. It was based on somebody. 603 00:34:57,200 --> 00:35:01,600 Based on literary work, Literally, let's say literally, 604 00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,680 let's say it's something you can read. 605 00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,120 I'm not going to say literary work, but yeah. 606 00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:08,840 Can you describe Will Smith's role again? 607 00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:14,160 So Will Smith is a mysterious caddy who helps Ranulph Jonah, 608 00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:19,320 played by Matt Damon, come to grips with his personal demons 609 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:23,040 and play golf again. I would. 610 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,000 My clue to you would be to focus on the names of the characters. 611 00:35:26,240 --> 00:35:32,440 You have Bagger Vance BAGGERVANCE played by Will Smith 612 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,920 and the Caddy helps Matt Damon's character player, who's called 613 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:43,640 Rannolf Jenna, as in RANNULPHJUNUH. 614 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,480 OK. What was this movie loosely 615 00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:48,800 based on? It is based on a text. 616 00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:55,560 I'm going to give you that much. Randolph, Juna, Randy, Randy 617 00:35:55,560 --> 00:35:57,320 Randolph. I don't know. 618 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,360 When you describe the whole setting of the thing, it 619 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,400 reminded me of a little bit of driving Miss Daisy, like the 620 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:07,240 person driving somebody around, and especially a black person 621 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:10,840 driving somebody around. But driving Miss Daisy is 622 00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:13,160 obviously not the thing in question. 623 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:18,800 The only other thing I can think of is solving somebody's life 624 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:21,080 problems. The driver is like the Gita, but 625 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,560 I don't know how. Would that make sense? 626 00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,040 Yes, it is based on the Bhagavad Gita. 627 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:29,200 Oh what? That's insane. 628 00:36:29,720 --> 00:36:32,480 Yeah, can you tell me how the names play into it? 629 00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,760 Now just try and work backwards. Rannos Juna Rao. 630 00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:48,080 Oh, Arjun Arjuna. Arjuna, Arjuna, Arjuna and Will 631 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:51,880 Smith plays bagger vans, say bagger vans very quickly. 632 00:36:52,480 --> 00:36:55,800 Bag of vans, Bag of vans. Oh Bhagwan, is it? 633 00:36:56,800 --> 00:37:03,280 Bhagwan. Oh boy, who came up with this? 634 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,360 No, it is true. The plot is loosely based on the 635 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,440 Hindu sacred text the Bhagwat Gita, which is part of the Hindu 636 00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:13,240 epic Mahabharata, where the warrior hero Arjuna, Hence 637 00:37:13,240 --> 00:37:17,880 Arjuna refuses to fight. The God Krishna appears as 638 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:22,480 Bhagavan or Bagar Vance to help him follow his path as a warrior 639 00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,320 and hero that he was meant to be. 640 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,800 OK, OK, very cool. So at some point and in some 641 00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:33,840 quiz, we can put a list of actors who've played Krishna and 642 00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:37,760 add Will Smith to that. And that should really be a 643 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:41,800 complete unexpected. It will be like Nitish Bharadwaj 644 00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:47,600 and Will Smith. Yeah, that would hopefully make 645 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,680 a very interesting question, but I love that. 646 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:52,080 Very cool. Wow, nice. 647 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:56,400 Completely unexpected, but again, word play right up my 648 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:57,920 alley. I like it, Arjuna. 649 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,200 Arjuna. Brilliant. 650 00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,520 Let's do a little bit more of pop culture, since you did start 651 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:08,200 us off on that path. Yes. 652 00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:11,320 Paul McCartney. Somebody you might have heard of 653 00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:18,080 Paul McCartney used to, during the height of Beatlemania, used 654 00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,720 to check into hotels under a pseudonym. 655 00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:27,800 That pseudonym eventually became the name of another band, or 656 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,400 rather, inspired the name of another band. 657 00:38:31,240 --> 00:38:34,400 Do you know what pseudonym did Paul McCartney use? 658 00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:39,880 I've read this somewhere and I remember that I've read it, but 659 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:43,200 I can't remember what it is. It's a situation where I know 660 00:38:43,200 --> 00:38:45,760 because the moment you said Paul McCartney checking in pseudonym, 661 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:48,920 I was like, yeah, I read it somewhere and I've completely 662 00:38:48,920 --> 00:38:51,120 forgotten it. So I'll have to work it out some 663 00:38:51,120 --> 00:38:53,800 other way. Oh God, I'll. 664 00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,600 Give you a hint. The band in question that 665 00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,160 derived the name from Paul McCartney's pseudonym was an 666 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,880 American punk rock band. American punk rock? 667 00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:13,400 Yeah, that narrows the field. Formed in 1974, so we are 668 00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:17,520 talking about 1974. Sid Vicious? 669 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:19,080 No, I mean, like, that was his name, right? 670 00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,320 It's not the name of the band. American punk rock. 671 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,000 Not my field. More clues please. 672 00:39:26,600 --> 00:39:30,480 In 1996, after a tour with the Lola Palooza Music festival, 673 00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,400 they played a farewell concert in LA and disbanded, so their 674 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,120 tenure was until 1996. Nope. 675 00:39:39,720 --> 00:39:42,160 All of the four original members of the band have passed away. 676 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:48,400 Oh, Paul McCartney used some name as pseudonym Punk rock 677 00:39:48,400 --> 00:39:52,760 band? No man, it's completely eluding 678 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,120 me, like nothing's even coming to mind. 679 00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:57,320 It's one of those questions we've completely blanked on and 680 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,160 I don't think further clues are going to help, so you'll just 681 00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:03,240 have to put me out of my misery. Do you want maybe some of the 682 00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,240 iconic hits from this band? Would that help you? 683 00:40:06,240 --> 00:40:08,760 God, that'll just make it worse. But still, go ahead, go ahead. 684 00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:14,320 OK, let's try. Sheena is a punk rocker. 685 00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,160 Bonzo goes to Bitburg. OK, blitzkrieg Bop. 686 00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,000 I want to be sedated. Judy is a punk. 687 00:40:24,720 --> 00:40:28,360 These are the famous songs. Yeah, I want to be sedated. 688 00:40:29,240 --> 00:40:31,040 I want to be sedated. That's that's very true. 689 00:40:32,720 --> 00:40:34,720 Honestly, I'm asking you this question. 690 00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:36,120 If you had asked me I would have no clue. 691 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:39,600 Also because I'm not a punk rock guy at all. 692 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,080 Neither am I. Yeah, I was hoping that your 693 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,800 Beatles fandom would carry you. Through, but I know that I've 694 00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,560 read it, but it's just not there. 695 00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,280 I I can't remember anything about. 696 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:52,240 Yeah. That's fair. 697 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:53,440 That's fair. It's all right. 698 00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:55,880 I'll give you the answer. It is the Ramones. 699 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:59,600 The Ramone. Because Paul McCartney used to 700 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:04,120 use the pseudonym Paul Ramon when checking into hotels to 701 00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:10,400 avoid fans, and Didi, who was part of the original 4 on the 702 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,040 group, encouraged them to take on that name almost as a 703 00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:16,240 reference. Tongue in cheek reference to 704 00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:18,920 Paul McCartney. And that's how the Ramones got 705 00:41:18,920 --> 00:41:22,960 their name from Paul McCartney. So Beatles has influenced a 706 00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:28,800 genre as far away as punk rock. Also, yeah, Beatles just 707 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,480 continue blowing my mind. That's painful. 708 00:41:32,480 --> 00:41:35,520 I should have remembered that. It's all right. 709 00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,240 You, you got it. You always got it. 710 00:41:37,720 --> 00:41:40,320 Yeah, OK. So if let me see if I can dish 711 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:41,960 out some of that same torture to you. 712 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,720 Go for it. So this is the question that I'm 713 00:41:46,720 --> 00:41:51,400 going to ask you. Shammi Narang is an Indian media 714 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:54,400 personality graduating with an engineering degree. 715 00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,240 He was selected from among 10,000 candidates into 716 00:41:57,240 --> 00:42:00,640 Doordarshan, which was then the only channel in India and he 717 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:03,400 became the face of Doordarshan news, reading and Indian 718 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,920 television in general. During the 70s and the 80s. 719 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:11,200 He's been seen in films like utejna Makbool, Sultan, No One 720 00:42:11,200 --> 00:42:15,320 Killed Jessica, and Sarabjeet. While he's a familiar face to 721 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,760 our parents generation, millions of people know one aspect of him 722 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:23,720 without knowing who he is, especially residents of Lucknow, 723 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:28,160 Delhi, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Gurgaon, and many tourists in 724 00:42:28,160 --> 00:42:30,800 Jaipur, Bikaner, Jodhpur, and Mysore. 725 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,120 How? Tourists. 726 00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,880 Tourists also know him. But let's even if you don't 727 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,600 think of the tourist thing, that's fine. 728 00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,680 That's a little lesser known fact, but residents, millions of 729 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:47,120 millions of residents of Lucknow, Delhi, Delhi to people 730 00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:51,880 outside India, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Gurgaon, they all know 731 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:53,680 one aspect of him without knowing his name. 732 00:42:54,680 --> 00:43:00,560 Is Mumbai also on that list? Yes, Mumbai is also on that 733 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:04,040 list. Is Bangalore also on the on that 734 00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,200 list? No, Bangalore is not on the 735 00:43:06,200 --> 00:43:08,760 list. Oh OK because I was going to 736 00:43:08,760 --> 00:43:11,720 guess Metro but then if Bangalore is not there then. 737 00:43:12,880 --> 00:43:15,720 You are right, it is the metro. He's the voice of the Indian 738 00:43:15,720 --> 00:43:18,400 metro, but he's the voice of the Indian metro Hindi announcements 739 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:23,160 and Urdu also in Hyderabad. So he's done. 740 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,400 He's he's the voice of the original voice of you know, 741 00:43:26,920 --> 00:43:29,280 please mind the gap. That kind of thing in Hindi 742 00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:37,400 Darvaza by or kulenge. Very cool, very cool, but he 743 00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,200 also mentioned tourists which which tourism yes, so. 744 00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:45,080 He's left he yes, so he's lent his voice to the audio guides on 745 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:47,800 heritage monuments in Jaipur, Jodhpur, Bikaner and Mysore. 746 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:49,800 Of course. Yeah, it makes sense. 747 00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:52,480 That's brilliant. That's a pretty good question 748 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:53,840 actually. I'm surprised. 749 00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:58,440 Not Bangalore though, because I would imagine it fits right in. 750 00:43:58,440 --> 00:44:01,240 But OK, maybe it's Bangalore. Not only Hindi announcements. 751 00:44:01,240 --> 00:44:04,640 Only his Hindi announcements have been moved and if I'm not 752 00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:07,160 mistaken, Bangalore Metro does not have Hindi announcements. 753 00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,960 OK. But Hyderabad metro has 754 00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:10,880 interesting. Yes. 755 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:14,680 So Hyderabad has both Hyderabad Hindi and Urdu announcements are 756 00:44:14,680 --> 00:44:17,600 by Shami Narang. He mentioned that in an 757 00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,720 interview. All right, cool. 758 00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:22,040 That is a great piece of trivia. I love it. 759 00:44:22,320 --> 00:44:27,400 Shami Narang name finely to the voice that I've heard so many 760 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:29,880 times. Yes, and I guarantee your 761 00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,920 parents definitely know him. Ah, OK. 762 00:44:33,560 --> 00:44:36,240 Because he was the face of Doordarshan in the in the 70s 763 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:37,840 and the 80s. Right. 764 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,960 And you mentioned that he is also been in a bunch of movies 765 00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:42,840 and stuff also. Yeah. 766 00:44:42,840 --> 00:44:44,240 Yeah, but those are like tiny roles. 767 00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:45,920 I just put that in to throw you off. 768 00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:48,280 Mean. Very mean. 769 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:52,840 Cool. I think that brings us to the 770 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,720 end of the episode, I believe. Yes. 771 00:44:56,040 --> 00:44:59,240 So that's the time for all the time we have for our regular 772 00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:01,880 questions. There is the matter of the 773 00:45:01,880 --> 00:45:04,440 audience question. So the audience question for 774 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:08,720 today was this iconic company logo is actually a stylized 775 00:45:08,720 --> 00:45:11,720 version of two people, the company and the customer shaking 776 00:45:11,720 --> 00:45:14,120 hands. Which company Aditya do you 777 00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:17,800 know? Company and the customer shaking 778 00:45:17,800 --> 00:45:20,440 hands. No, I don't know actually. 779 00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:23,560 Which industry did you say? I did not say the industry. 780 00:45:23,560 --> 00:45:27,000 I just said it's a company logo. Do you? 781 00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:28,520 Want to know? I don't know what that could do. 782 00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:32,600 Maybe, yeah. It's the automobile industry. 783 00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,880 Wouldn't have guessed that. I would have guessed something 784 00:45:36,880 --> 00:45:41,680 along FMCG lines. Automobile, which looks like a 785 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,680 handshake. No, I I can't think of anything. 786 00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:48,000 Oh wait, let me actually try to guess this. 787 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,480 Is this because I was also thinking Hewlett Packard for 788 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,400 some reason? HP I was thinking about HP is 789 00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,680 obviously just written HP. Is it by any chance Hyundai? 790 00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:04,600 Yes, it is Hyundai or Hyundai. I don't know what the correct 791 00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,280 pronunciation is, but yes. So basically the two pillars of 792 00:46:07,280 --> 00:46:09,600 the H are supposed to be, you know, the customer and the 793 00:46:10,360 --> 00:46:13,880 company, and the middle connecting line is supposed to 794 00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,400 be them shaking hands. Now that he said. 795 00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:18,920 I feel like I've seen this in one of those places where you 796 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:22,200 where you can see logos and their design principles. 797 00:46:22,200 --> 00:46:24,280 I think I've, I've probably seen before. 798 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:25,360 You might have. You might have. 799 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:29,240 So what's your pop culture recommendation this week, 800 00:46:29,240 --> 00:46:33,200 Aditya? Oh, I had the opportunity to 801 00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:38,440 watch Inside Out too, so very early recommendation. 802 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,760 It just came out, so if you haven't seen it yet, go check it 803 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:43,760 out. Obviously the first one is a 804 00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,760 absolute favorite film of mine. And spoiler alert for the first 805 00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:53,560 film, in the scene where Bing Bong dies I have at every point. 806 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,240 Every time I've seen it I've cried and I've seen it multiple 807 00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:58,360 times. So it it is one of my absolute 808 00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,160 favorite Pixar films. I'm wearing a Pixar T-shirt 809 00:47:00,160 --> 00:47:05,400 because I just went to watch it actually and the second part 810 00:47:05,400 --> 00:47:07,560 just came out and it is pretty great. 811 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:11,360 It's pretty great as sequels go. It is a decent sequel, so worth 812 00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,640 your time. Check out that. 813 00:47:12,960 --> 00:47:17,640 I also had the chance because I recently reacquired my Netflix 814 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:20,000 account. I had the chance to check out A 815 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:22,400 Pretty Woman. It had been on my watch list for 816 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,320 a very long time. I would say Julia Roberts, 817 00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:29,800 Richard Gere can't go wrong. They are an attractive couple 818 00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:34,160 just falling in love. It's a fun little story. 819 00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:38,320 It has a great soundtrack. Must watch if you are in the 820 00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:42,400 mood for some ROM com. Yes, and I believe there it's 821 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:48,000 partially inspired by Pygmalion, which inspired my favorite lady, 822 00:47:48,280 --> 00:47:51,480 which inspired this. I'm guessing at least some point 823 00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:53,360 of it. Yeah, possible. 824 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,120 Fantastic recommendation. My recommendation today is a 825 00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:02,240 movie that I surprisingly liked. It was it's a movie called 826 00:48:02,240 --> 00:48:06,280 Hitman, it's a Franklin Linklater film, it's released on 827 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:11,640 Netflix and I went into went in to watch the movie with 0 828 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:14,040 expectations but I really enjoyed it. 829 00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:17,360 And fun fact, it's based on an actual real person. 830 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:19,600 Though the story is not it, the character is based on a real 831 00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,440 person. So it is all the more just very 832 00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:24,400 interesting. So I would recommend Hitman on 833 00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:27,080 Netflix. Glenn Powell is an attractive 834 00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,120 man. I I think he is, in my opinion, 835 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:34,440 probably the next Brad Pitt, the next Ryan Reynoldson, along 836 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:38,000 those lines of like very attractive white men leading men 837 00:48:38,000 --> 00:48:40,720 in Hollywood. It's very coincidental that you 838 00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:42,480 mentioned that. I just saw this video the other 839 00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:46,000 day of Shania Twain in live concert. 840 00:48:46,280 --> 00:48:53,000 So you know that song of us that don't impress me much, right? 841 00:48:53,120 --> 00:48:56,120 So in the original song, there's an interlude portion where 842 00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,600 everything goes silent and she's like, OK, so you're Brad Pitt. 843 00:49:00,240 --> 00:49:03,160 That don't impress me much. And so that goes on, right? 844 00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:06,480 So during the live performance, after 20 years of the song 845 00:49:06,720 --> 00:49:08,880 getting released, I think 25 years almost that since it's 846 00:49:08,880 --> 00:49:11,320 released, she changed the lyrics during the live performance the 847 00:49:11,320 --> 00:49:13,480 same. OK, so you're Ryan Reynolds. 848 00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:18,360 That doesn't impress. Me. 849 00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,040 Oh, wow. So I have an eye for the male 850 00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:26,240 attractive men. Attractive men in Hollywood. 851 00:49:26,240 --> 00:49:28,040 Yes, of course, yes. OK, cool. 852 00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:32,400 But I have seen Hitman as well and yeah, definitely a watch 853 00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:36,320 that I would recommend. Richard Linklater, filmmaker 854 00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,400 that I deeply admire. So a good, decent film. 855 00:49:40,160 --> 00:49:44,960 Yeah. And it was I, because I had seen 856 00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:49,840 the trailer, for some reason it didn't impress me and I had a 857 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:51,720 little time to kill. So then I just turned it on and 858 00:49:51,720 --> 00:49:54,080 it, I really enjoyed the movie. I really enjoyed it. 859 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:58,040 It had, you know, it didn't go the way I expected, let's put it 860 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,320 that way. No I I get what you mean, it is 861 00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:03,680 a good film. Actually, I'll recommend the 862 00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:07,560 third film since we are talking about films and I was on Netflix 863 00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:11,040 a while for a while. There is this thing, there is 864 00:50:11,040 --> 00:50:13,680 this film called Sajni Shindeka Viral Video. 865 00:50:14,200 --> 00:50:17,360 It's a whodunit and it's a fun film. 866 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,960 It's actually very well acted. It has Nimrat Kaur in it and she 867 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:25,880 does a phenomenal job as the investigation officer and an 868 00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,440 actor who doesn't get enough credit. 869 00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:32,200 I believe so, Yeah. Check out Sajni Shindeka Viral 870 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:36,040 Video also on Netflix and the other films mentioned. 871 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,240 Yeah, so then that's all the time we have for this episode. 872 00:50:40,240 --> 00:50:42,040 Thank you guys all for listening in. 873 00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,880 We hope you enjoyed the show.
