1 00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:07,280 In 2009, X caused a huge media frenzy when they kicked off 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:12,320 their Y sacrifice. It was a scheme where people had 3 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,480 to make sacrifices to get a free product from Y, especially the 4 00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,480 eponymously named product. Facebook users were getting a 5 00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:25,280 free coupon for Y by removing 10 Facebook friends. 6 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,520 Even better, the app would then alert each of these ten friends 7 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:34,080 that they had been sacrificed for the product YY. 8 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:37,880 The name of the product and the campaign also describes the 9 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,160 magnitude of the sacrifice that the company X was asking for. 10 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,840 So my question to you, my dear audience, is identify the 11 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,480 company X and the product slash campaign Y. 12 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,160 I will give you the answer for this question at the end of 13 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:55,240 today's episode. This was our audience question 14 00:00:55,240 --> 00:01:03,920 and we're back for episode #118 yes, 118 and cue the music. 15 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,160 Welcome to Are you quizzing me?

Join us as we dive deep into 18 00:01:15,320 --> 00:01:18,800 history, science, pop culture and so much more. 19 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,920 Let's get quizzing. And Aditya is looking smug for 20 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,880 some reason. I don't know why. 21 00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,000 Probably he's wearing because he's wearing a Targaryen 22 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,720 sweatshirt for no reason. I I do random pop culture 23 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,080 references with my T-shirts. That's my my jam. 24 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:38,840 No, it kind of seems a little, I don't know, ironic, or should I 25 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,840 say count counterintuitive, The fact that it's a comfy, warm 26 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,320 sweatshirt which is meant to protect you from the cold, and 27 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:46,800 it's called a dragon on the front. 28 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:51,120 It is the fire, part of the Song of Ice and Fire, supposed to 29 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,360 keep you warm. Yeah, and the ice, apparently, 30 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,000 because I'm wearing blue. That's it. 31 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,200 I don't have AII. Need a direwolf sizzle here 32 00:01:57,200 --> 00:01:59,400 somewhere. We'll do it in post. 33 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,320 You know, put a direwolf sizzle right here. 34 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,000 Vineet, I love you, but there is not any more effort left in me 35 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:10,560 for post production. Just cutting out our pauses and 36 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,080 our random meanderings is enough post production for me. 37 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,840 OK, so enough fluff. Let's get down to the hardcore 38 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,360 quizzing. Perfect. 39 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:24,440 So since we are doing some classic quizzing, I'm going to 40 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,760 start us off with one of our favorite topics. 41 00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:30,320 We have covered it a few times the future Aditya and Vineet. 42 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,760 Whenever they make the supercut of a single topic, we will make 43 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,400 an episode on Academy Awards and this will be another question in 44 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,440 it. OK. 45 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:43,040 So this is an Academy Award related the Oscar related 46 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,440 trivia. Can you tell me, Vineet, Which 47 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,800 person has gotten nominated in the most number of categories at 48 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:56,120 the Academy Award? Who has been nominated for the 49 00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,680 most number of. Categories. 50 00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,760 Most number of categories. If it were India, I would have 51 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,640 said Vishal Bharadwaj. He does everything. 52 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,440 Cinematography, direction, script writing, screenplay, 53 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,560 music direction. Sanjay Leela Bhansali also does 54 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,200 quite a few things. Yeah, but I think Vishal has got 55 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:15,680 a beat there. Probably. 56 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:17,240 Probably. Vishal also edits, right? 57 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,080 OK. So somebody like that in 58 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:24,440 Hollywood or maybe, I don't know, for some reason, Walt 59 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,280 Disney, was he nominated in a lot of categories? 60 00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:30,760 Nope, no, OK. Not Disney. 61 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,960 The most number of categories. Then the next person that comes 62 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,760 to mind is James Cameron. It's not James Cameron. 63 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,200 OK? Let me give you a hint to start 64 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,000 you off on the right foot, OK? This person is not American. 65 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,120 It's a British person. Is a man a British man? 66 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,000 It's going to be some sort of googly. 67 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,800 I can't think of a British man would I've heard of this person. 68 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:55,040 Absolutely. Yes. 69 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,720 Yeah. British person nominated the 70 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,600 most number of categories. OK, let me just try and break 71 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,120 this down in a logical fashion. I'm guessing there is some 72 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:07,560 acting nominations along with some directorial ones, some 73 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,920 actor director so Kenneth Branagh. 74 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,120 Kenneth Branagh is the right answer. 75 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:13,960 Wow. That was much faster than I 76 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,960 would have expected. That is pretty cool. 77 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,440 Yeah. OK, great. 78 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,160 Can you tell me what categories has he been nominated in? 79 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:22,640 You see, the guy does everything. 80 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,800 He's a director. He directed Mel Gibson's Hamlet. 81 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:31,400 He's directed and acted in the new adaptations of the what do 82 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,280 you call Agatha Christie books. So I'm guessing directing, best 83 00:04:35,280 --> 00:04:40,960 actor, best supporting actor, screenplay, most probably best 84 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,200 original adaptation or whatever one of those was. 85 00:04:44,280 --> 00:04:46,560 I don't think he has any music related ones but. 86 00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:49,160 OK, editing. I will give it to you. 87 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,840 It is Best picture, Best director, Best original 88 00:04:52,840 --> 00:04:56,040 screenplay, Best adapted screenplay, Best actor, Best 89 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,480 supporting actor, Best live action, short film. 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,320 These are the seven categories that Kenneth Brenna has been 91 00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,040 nominated in. But here's a catch, he's not the 92 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 only one who has been nominated in seven categories. 93 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,880 There is another gentleman who has been nominated actually more 94 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,440 number of times in seven categories. 95 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,200 You know, I was wondering why when I got the answer, you 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:22,400 weren't excited enough or you weren't giving me enough credit 97 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:24,440 because I got just heart half the question. 98 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,480 He's like, oh, let him be all smug that he's got in Brenna, 99 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:32,920 but I still have somebody else in my pocket who else does a lot 100 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,360 of stuff. Same kind of categories. 101 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360 Or is it a little more technical field? 102 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,360 All right, I'll tell you no acting categories for this man. 103 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,760 No acting categories for this person. 104 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,240 Also British. No, but not American. 105 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,560 OK, not American. It's not somebody like Fellini, 106 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,320 right? No, it's not Fellini. 107 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,480 No. Is it OK? 108 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,560 Are you throwing a googly at me? As in, this person's not 109 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,320 American, but is they've worked mostly in America or something 110 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:02,960 like that? This person has worked in 111 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:08,960 Hollywood a fair bit, yes, but they are very much not American. 112 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:12,280 Roman Polanski. No, not Polanski. 113 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,760 He's technically Polish and he's no longer allowed inside the US. 114 00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,520 Absolutely yes. No, not not Roman Polanski. 115 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,280 No, I need a clue here. OK, what's interesting is 116 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,120 Kenneth Berner has been nominated for quite a few 117 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,160 awards, but has won only once. This guy, on the other hand, has 118 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:35,040 won four awards. 4 Oscars non American, has won four Oscars, 119 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:42,760 Worked in Hollywood as well. No, you'll have to give me 120 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,720 something else. OK, here's a fun piece of trivia 121 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:51,240 related to one of his very acclaimed films from 2013. 122 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,240 OK. He apologized for his poor 123 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,880 English, especially to the star of his film, because on one 124 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:04,240 occasion he scared that star on location during production when 125 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:10,520 he said what sounded like I'm going to give you herpes, when 126 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,800 he actually had said in his accent, which is slightly thick, 127 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:18,160 I'm going to give you an earpiece. 128 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:23,560 So the star of his film was a little scared when they first 129 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,240 heard that that turns out you're saying I'm going to give you an 130 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:29,040 ear. PS. 131 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:33,720 Wait, is this Bong Joon Ho? No, this is not Bong Joon Ho. 132 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,840 But you're right in the way that this person does have a strong 133 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,400 accent and he was apologizing for his strong accent to his 134 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,320 lead star. I'll tell you it was a female 135 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,480 star. So there are unfortunately 136 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,320 probably narrows it down slightly. 137 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,560 Wait, is that Spanish director? What's his name? 138 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,640 I always get his name wrong. OK. 139 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,440 So there are three of them, OK. And three of them were winning 140 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,880 at the Oscars pretty consecutively. 141 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,440 If you remember, like I think there were three years that 142 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,560 these were three Latino directors who won. 143 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,080 I think one of them is Mexican, two of them are South American. 144 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,400 I'm forgetting exactly where they're from. 145 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,720 Oh God I'm blanking completely. Almodovar. 146 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,120 No, no, no. This is a very recent. 147 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520 This is extremely recent. Central American. 148 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,720 It's not Inuatu, right? Like what was his name like? 149 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,840 I'm very sorry. I should know his name properly. 150 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,080 Alejandro Inaritu. Inaritu is how I'm spelling it, 151 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:40,640 yeah. Inaritu or something like that. 152 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:41,880 Yeah. It's not Alejandro. 153 00:08:42,159 --> 00:08:43,760 Yeah. Who else? 154 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:44,280 Who else? Who else? 155 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:47,720 Who else? Who else is this? 156 00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:50,760 Deni Vignere, But he's French. He's not Spanish. 157 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,440 Then he will live as not Spanish. 158 00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,400 OK, I'll tell you the three of them. 159 00:08:55,680 --> 00:09:00,600 You mentioned Alejandro Inarritu, and there is one more 160 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,800 guy who's also won an Oscar, and the third one was won the four 161 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,920 Oscars that is in question. Three of them have a production 162 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:10,520 company called Cha Cha Cha Films. 163 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:15,000 OK, I should know this. I should know this. 164 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,480 I can't think of any names right now man. 165 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,040 OK, I'll tell you the name of the actor that he apologized to 166 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,680 in the film where he said I'm going to give you her piece. 167 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:33,320 It's Sandra Bullock. Sandra Bullock, Spanish director 168 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,160 Spanish speaking speaking director. 169 00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,840 Oh this is the guy who did Alfonso poem. 170 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,320 It is Alfonso Cuaron. Well done. 171 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,920 Yes, Alfonso Cuaron. Oh nice thick this is gravity. 172 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Gravity. Exactly. 173 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,640 OK Nice nice Roma was a film that also won that he had 174 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:53,720 directed. This guy has won four Academy 175 00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,400 Awards. He has been nominated in 176 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,640 multiple categories. He has gotten 11 total 177 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,080 nominations. Very, very well-rounded as an as 178 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,720 a filmmaker. Interestingly enough, he would 179 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:08,280 have been technically the winner in this trivia. 180 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,120 Like you would have gotten one more over Brenna, except that 181 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,240 his film Roma also won the best international feature Film. 182 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480 But the director does not get the award for that. 183 00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:19,640 The award is given to the to the producers. 184 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:21,600 It's to the country, actually. Country. 185 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,200 Oh, OK. Technically, that would have 186 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:27,560 been an eighth category. It is that in this case, he's 187 00:10:27,560 --> 00:10:29,760 not the one who's entitled to that award. 188 00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,320 The seven categories, 11 nominations has won four Best 189 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,880 Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best 190 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:39,440 Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography and 191 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,400 Best Live Action Short Film. OK. 192 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,360 Two very, very talented men, yes. 193 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,640 I just love the idea that they've, they've done so many 194 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,040 things. Yeah, it's pretty cool. 195 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,640 But they know Vishal Bharat Watch because it's infinitely 196 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,320 more difficult to do that. All this plus music. 197 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,600 That is true. That is true. 198 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,760 And the importance that Indian cinema places on music, it's 199 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:03,040 it's quite the art, yeah. The fact that Vishal Bharadwaj 200 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:10,200 can compose such emotionally resonant music right direct at 201 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,880 the same time, it's, it's, it's mind boggling to me. 202 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,080 Like I can understand somebody like James Cameron or Kenneth 203 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,880 Prana who can write, who can act, who can direct, who can 204 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,200 adapt more screenplays, make short films, all of that. 205 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,640 But to also create music, and not just create music, but 206 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,600 create really really good music and also lyricist. 207 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,480 The importance that Indian cinema places on music and the 208 00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,200 fact that he does it, that aspect so well, pretty cool. 209 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,520 Yeah, I agree. I'm on your side. 210 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,680 OK, so great question. I'm going to go to something 211 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:43,840 that's very indulgent. So let me, you know, ask for 212 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,480 apologies from the audience in advance. 213 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,240 This is a very indulgent question. 214 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,800 It's a question. It's a piece of trivia that has 215 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,600 been in my pocket for many, many years. 216 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,160 I am fairly sure I must have mentioned it to you at some 217 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,920 point, but I'm going to hope that you have completely 218 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:02,840 forgotten it because it's not the kind of trivia that you 219 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,840 usually carry, carry around. OK Right now it's more in the 220 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,920 mainstream. So I'm hoping it's not as 221 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:10,960 intelligent and people will be like, oh, OK, so that's what 222 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,600 it's called. So Mike Rousseau from Rhodesia, 223 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:19,600 which is the earlier name for Zimbabwe, present day Zimbabwe, 224 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:25,720 was working in Mozambique. There at the airport at Maputo, 225 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,600 he had a somewhat surprise encounter. 226 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:35,000 He relayed the encounter to Jeff Cooper, who included Rosu's 227 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:40,440 results, instinctive response to the surprise encounter into his 228 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:45,880 teachings and it became widely known as the Mozambique drill. 229 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,760 It has been extensively featured in movies over the past two 230 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:56,120 decades with Tom Cruise once spending months mastering it and 231 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,280 executing it perfectly on screen. 232 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,640 So my question to you, Aditya, and I'm hoping you can be as 233 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,400 specific as you as possible, but even if you're in the ballpark, 234 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,240 I will probably give it to you. What is the Mozambique drill? 235 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,840 OK, yeah, this is not trivia that I have part of, or at least 236 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,680 is not ringing a bell. Tom Cruise, my man. 237 00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:23,080 Tom Cruise leads me to my first guess. 238 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,360 Something to do withholding a breath. 239 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:28,920 Good guess considering that it's Tom Cruise and he's held his 240 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,080 breath multiple times, but no. OK. 241 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,360 And is this a film making related drill or is it just Tom 242 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,720 Cruise just happens to have done it? 243 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,280 No, Tom Cruise learnt it for the movie. 244 00:13:40,560 --> 00:13:42,720 Oh, OK, so it's something that he did for a film. 245 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,240 And he executed it so perfectly. OK, this is probably a giveaway, 246 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,440 but then he executed so perfectly that now footage of 247 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:52,160 him doing it is used as a teaching aid. 248 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,880 Is it a Mission Impossible film? Oh wait, it's a drill. 249 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:01,600 It has to be a Top Gun thing. OK, it's not a Mission 250 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,240 Impossible film and it's not Top Gun. 251 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:12,080 Oh OK, interesting because I was going to go with some sort of 252 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,800 maneuver he did with the planes. I'm blanking on Tom Cruise 253 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:19,280 films. Just feels like I've only seen 254 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,800 Mission Impossible and Top Gun. You know, there is a more 255 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,160 obvious clue, but the moment I give that, the answer becomes 256 00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,920 very, very obvious. Tom Cruise is known for his 257 00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,480 insane dedication, right? So he must spent months 258 00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,280 practicing this for and he executed the film maybe for a 259 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,040 total of 20 seconds. There are other actors who've 260 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:48,200 employed this throughout a series of films, but the moment 261 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,840 I say their name, you know exactly what this is. 262 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,480 So which is why I've gone with Tom Cruise as my cloak. 263 00:14:54,800 --> 00:15:00,080 Is some sort of a fighting style like Krav Maga or jujitsu? 264 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,720 You're close. Keep thinking in that same 265 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,320 direction. Then it is a gun related thing. 266 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,000 I think it's like a reloading or gun or something like that. 267 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:13,880 Not a reloading, but think of Tom Cruise and which movie. 268 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:16,160 If you're talking about guns, I'll give it to you. 269 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,080 It is a gun related thing. I don't expect you to get the 270 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440 exact thing. OK, Because I remember speaking 271 00:15:22,440 --> 00:15:24,400 to you about this. I think it was a few years ago, 272 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,120 like when we first started the podcast and I told you this and 273 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,960 you were like, why is it even called that? 274 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,080 And at the time I was, I think I didn't remember exactly why it 275 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:34,760 was called. I just told you that it was 276 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,680 related to Mozambique in some way. 277 00:15:37,160 --> 00:15:38,640 And then you were like, oh, that's interesting. 278 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:41,600 And as I hoped, it's not one of those things that you would keep 279 00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:43,480 in mind because it's not your kind of trivia. 280 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:48,440 No, no, not at all. I am blanking on it and that's 281 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,480 killing me. OK, which movie if you can give 282 00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720 me that you. Can't related thing. 283 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:55,360 I'm trying to think which movie has he used? 284 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,720 Oh, Gun Zen, that is not Mission Impossible. 285 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,640 And I mean, yeah, there are probably a bunch of them. 286 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,440 Let me tell you something else. The director of this movie has 287 00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:09,480 specifically also used this technique in some of his other 288 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:14,480 movies and he's known. OK, this is again almost a dead 289 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,360 giveaway. This director is known for 290 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,640 making some of the most realistic looking and sounding 291 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,720 gun battles captured on film. We're not talking about heat, 292 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,760 are we? Who's the director of Heat? 293 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,160 What is the name of that kind? Now I'm forgetting the 294 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,520 director's name also. You're going to kick yourself. 295 00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:35,880 Michael Mann. Michael Mann. 296 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:37,600 We have spoken about Michael Mann so many times. 297 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,760 OK. Michael Mann. 298 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,040 Tom Cruise. Oh, my God. 299 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,080 Michael Mann. Tom Cruise. 300 00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:42,440 Which film is Michael Mann? Tom Cruise. 301 00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:47,800 Yeah, I know. No, I'm. 302 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,920 I'm lost. I'm lost. 303 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,280 What? OK, I'll give you. 304 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,960 OK, This is this is me gigging out a little bit. 305 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,280 If you take the name of this movie, which is one word, and 306 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,840 you add another word to it, it becomes the name of an Arnold 307 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,720 Schwarzenegger movie. Recall, Total Recall. 308 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:08,200 No, the Arnie movie, but a Tom Cruise film? 309 00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,240 Just one word. But what? 310 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:13,640 Cruise man? Collaboration. 311 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,200 Am I black? Oh, can you give me a year or 312 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,520 something? My God this is just 313 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,040 embarrassing. Forget the year, I think Blonde 314 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,119 Cruise. Don't do this to me, man. 315 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,560 Now I'm just. I feel like I've or maybe I 316 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:24,520 don't. I don't know this. 317 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:26,359 You know what? This is a blank spot in my. 318 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,200 OK, OK, OK, OK. No, You know this film. 319 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,960 You know this film for sure. For sure, For sure. 320 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:33,680 You know this film. It's just you're blanking right 321 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,000 now. I'll put you out of a misery. 322 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,600 The movie is Collateral. Collateral, of course, I have 323 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,160 seen collateral and he's blonde in it and it's Michael Mann and 324 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,240 Jamie Foxx. Oh my God, I can't believe I 325 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:47,720 didn't get that. Yes, it is collateral, but what 326 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:49,920 did he do that was, I don't know this maneuver that you're 327 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,080 talking about though. OK, so basically, again, this is 328 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,800 a very niche one. I wanted to apologize to the 329 00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:55,400 audience. The other example I was going to 330 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,240 give is John Wick. Obviously Keanu Reeves is master 331 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:00,640 at this. He does this a number of times 332 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,880 throughout the John Wick movies, the Mozambique drill. 333 00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:06,600 So I'll just tell you the story about Mike Russo. 334 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,120 So Mike Russo, when I was like, cleverly referring Tim Ham as a 335 00:18:10,120 --> 00:18:12,880 Rhodesian, was a Rhodesian mercenary. 336 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:15,360 OK. And he was taking part in the 337 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:19,720 Mozambican war of independence. So when I said that while he was 338 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,080 at his job at the airport, he was literally engaged in combat 339 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,240 at the Lorenzo Marquez airport in what is now Maputo, 340 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,960 Mozambique. So he was, you know, having his 341 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,760 gun and he was rounding a corner and when suddenly he came across 342 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,400 a freedom of fighter who was armed with an AK47 roughly 343 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:42,040 around 25 feet away. OK, instinctively Rosso fired 2 344 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,840 rounds to his chest. Interesting. 345 00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:47,040 OK, Guy didn't go down, so his third round was to the head. 346 00:18:47,360 --> 00:18:50,920 So it's the idea of like taking two shots and then headshot. 347 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,600 A headshot. So he a few years later, he was 348 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:56,800 speaking to small arms expert Jeff Cooper, who's the founder 349 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,680 of the Gun Sight Academy shooting school. 350 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:01,640 He developed it. He incorporated what he then 351 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:05,480 called the Mozambique drill into his modern shooting technique. 352 00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:09,240 OK, LA SWAT basically started using it. 353 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,720 And then this basically because they called it, they've thought 354 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,960 that Mozambique might have some kind of racist connotation. 355 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:20,560 They called it the failure drill failure because you shot them 356 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,240 twice in the chest. They didn't go down. 357 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,520 So they have to shoot them in the head. 358 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,600 So they've now this has been expanded into movies quite a 359 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,880 lot. It's been used in John Wick, 360 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,160 It's been used in Miami Heat, it's been used in Collateral and 361 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,920 any number of movies that you see nowadays. 362 00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,200 You can see this where two quick shots to the chest and one 363 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,440 follows that up with one to the head, SO2 to the chest, one to 364 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,080 the head. It's called the Mozambique 365 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,520 Trail. Or Mozambique. 366 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:45,480 Very interesting. And you've spoken about this. 367 00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:47,600 I've forgotten. Yes, we have. 368 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:52,480 Actually, you know what? It's now maybe falsely reminding 369 00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,120 me of a memory, but it feels like yeah. 370 00:19:55,840 --> 00:20:00,040 For those who are keeping count, the movie that if you add one 371 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:02,440 word to Collateral that becomes an Arnie movie is. 372 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,640 There's a very little known movie of Arnie called Collateral 373 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,680 Damage of. Course. 374 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:08,440 Yeah, yeah. And so this is what is known as 375 00:20:08,440 --> 00:20:13,160 the Mozambique drill. And Tom Cruise perfectly 376 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,880 executes this to where he kind of shoots on the hip. 377 00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:18,320 He shoots somebody twice in the chest and then follows it up 378 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,440 with one of the head. And it's so perfectly. 379 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,480 Now, he apparently spent months practicing or with live 380 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,920 ammunition to learn that, and then he executed it. 381 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,280 As with all Tom Cruise things, he executed so perfectly, people 382 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,440 are like, oh, that's exactly how you should be doing it. 383 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,720 OK. When it comes to Michael Mann, 384 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:40,840 the bank, the fires, fight outside, the bank heist with Val 385 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,840 Kilmer and Robert De Niro, that sequence is so very well shot 386 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,200 and done that military schools and the FBI and Quantico and 387 00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:54,760 other, they still use that film to show how you should 388 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,280 strategically retreat from a disadvantageous position. 389 00:20:58,440 --> 00:20:59,720 Interesting. OK, OK. 390 00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:03,320 Go watch that sequence again. It's fantastic and it's the most 391 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,560 realistic sounding. You can actually hear the 392 00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:07,680 gunshots echoing of the buildings around it. 393 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:11,040 We have spoken about that part definitely in the past, yes. 394 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,840 Yeah, so Michael Mann, Heat, good recommendation. 395 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:16,680 So Heat and Collateral. Collateral. 396 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,840 Fantastic movie. That is a good film, Tom. 397 00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,880 Cruise a terrifying Tom Cruise because he plays a bad guy. 398 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:28,000 Every time Tom Cruise does something out of his typecast 399 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,480 character, I think he does a great job. 400 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,360 Yeah. Les Grossman, Tropic Thunder, 401 00:21:34,360 --> 00:21:37,080 can't, can't, can't forget that character. 402 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,480 Yes, you mentioned collateral as well. 403 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,080 So yeah, there is just some iconic things that he has done. 404 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,320 And I love, I love Tom Cruise stepping out of his comfort zone 405 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,120 whenever he does. So that leads me to my question 406 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,520 because you're talking about stepping out of your comfort 407 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:53,280 zone and we are talking about films. 408 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,200 And one of my favorite films we have talked about is Rush. 409 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,360 Rush, as you would remember, because I think you've also seen 410 00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:04,840 it, is a film about the 1976 battle between Niki Lauda and 411 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,840 James Hunt. I'm always very conscious of 412 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:07,680 saying his name. It is. 413 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,920 I know I. Know. 414 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,040 Given what his last name means in Hindi, but it's fine. 415 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,920 Let's let's power through. So Nikki and James were having 416 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,800 an epic battle of battle for the ages in 1976 for the title of 417 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:25,000 the world champion in F1 and it came down to the final race. 418 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,960 It's it's an epic, epic story which was really well done in 419 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,160 the movie Rush. Now you'd imagine that James 420 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:36,160 Hunt being British would be very popular in Britain and he was, 421 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,720 but his races were not being televised back then. 422 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,240 Not all races were televised, but main popular ones like 423 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,720 Monaco over televised. But somehow in 1976 specifically 424 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,520 they decided that they're not going to televise any of these 425 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:56,200 races in British TV's. So my question is, why did that 426 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,880 year turn out to be an unlucky coincidence that the races were 427 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,240 not shown to the British public? I was thinking maybe it clashed 428 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,720 clashed with the Olympics and the BBC had only limited number 429 00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:09,920 of channels and bandwidth so they showed the Olympics instead 430 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,880 of the the races. Solid guess, but no, not the 431 00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,200 reason why. OK. 432 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,760 Was it because they were on strike or something? 433 00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,240 I remember it was something like that during couple days, 183 or 434 00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:27,280 not out during the World Cup. So one of the matches in the 83 435 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,240 World Cup was not televised, not the finals, but one of them 436 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440 leading up to the finals where a couple they've had an absolutely 437 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,600 amazing performance was not televised because of BBC strike. 438 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:38,880 You're right. But no, this wasn't the case 439 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,280 that BBC was on strike the whole year. 440 00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:43,880 Yeah. So why that year specifically? 441 00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,960 I think apart from the final, final race, they didn't televise 442 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,400 any of the races. Because James haunted a party 443 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,680 mount. OK, so you are on the right 444 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,160 track, pun intended, going towards the idea that it it 445 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:02,040 violated the sensibilities of what is acceptable on British 446 00:24:02,040 --> 00:24:03,520 TV. Oh, long hair. 447 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,000 No, no, no no no. They weren't that Victorian. 448 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:11,080 Also, this had nothing to do with either of the racers. 449 00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:14,160 Racers, or any of the racers specifically. 450 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,040 OK, this had to do with one of the groups or one of the teams 451 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,240 in the championship. The Suertes racing organization. 452 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,120 Now they're not very famous because they were only there for 453 00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:28,120 that decade. In the 70s they decided to get a 454 00:24:28,120 --> 00:24:33,920 sponsor on board. OK, what sponsor forced BBC to 455 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:38,640 kick F1 off of the channels? Or British TV in general. 456 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,560 What would the BBC enough to stop televising it? 457 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,200 In the past decade I would have said Jeremy Clarkson. 458 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:52,800 Is it like a rival company? Broadcasting company? 459 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,000 No, like I said, it had somewhere offended that 460 00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:57,880 morality. Offended the morality. 461 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:01,200 Oh, like a condom. Very cool, very cool. 462 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,560 I'll give it to you. It was Durex, Ha ha. 463 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,760 London Rubber Company decided to sponsor this particular group, 464 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:13,040 this particular team, and which meant that Durex was emblazoned 465 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,480 on the car. And they just thought that was 466 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,280 unacceptable. British TV should not see Durex. 467 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Oh, God, this sounds so quaint. But I guess that was a different 468 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:22,840 time. That was a different era. 469 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,440 Yeah. Unfortunately, perhaps one of 470 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,800 the most iconic F1 seasons of all time and definitely for a 471 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,560 British fan. They could not see James Hunt 472 00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,360 doing all the crazy stuff he did that year because they were not 473 00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:40,600 showing the races on TV because Durex was there, not even on one 474 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:42,040 of their cars and some other random. 475 00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:43,280 Car. Somebody else's car. 476 00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:44,360 They're not going to show the race. 477 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:50,560 The British, I tell you. OK, that was a great question. 478 00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:55,560 I am going to not move very far away geographically. 479 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:00,120 The question is related to London and 10 years before your 480 00:26:00,120 --> 00:26:05,920 incident. So in 1966, X was a relatively 481 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:13,240 unknown guitarist, while Y was a rock legend so revered that the 482 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,680 slogan Y is God was widely popular. 483 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:22,000 During his first visit to London, X met Y at a club and 484 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,200 boldly requested to perform with him. 485 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:29,880 He played a blistering rendition of Killing Floor, a song Y 486 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,160 himself admitted was too difficult to play live. 487 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:38,440 So impressed was Y that the moment became famously known as 488 00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:43,680 The Day X Killed God. I want you to identify X&Y, OK? 489 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:45,480 When was this? What was the era? 490 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:52,280 1966. 19660 God, why do you do this to me? 491 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,600 I would suggest that you play the player, not the game with 492 00:26:56,600 --> 00:27:02,080 this particular question. Are we talking about Rolling 493 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,040 Stone? No, OK, that's not, I said to 494 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:09,840 the sound. OK, not everything in the 60s is 495 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:11,200 about the rolling. Stone, wait, Listen. 496 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:13,840 When I'm saying guitarist. You are the one who has claimed 497 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,600 that The Rolling Stones were the soundtrack. 498 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,240 Soundtrack of the 60s This is the soundtrack of the 60s. 499 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:25,720 My dream of what this was like, just you say, Rolling Stones is 500 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,320 the soundtrack of the 60s again and again and again. 501 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,520 So it's not The Rolling Stones, but you do like British 502 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,280 rock'n'roll. Yes. 503 00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:37,600 I don't know. I don't feel like this is one of 504 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:39,920 The Beatles. No, none of them were. 505 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Like, except for maybe George Harrison, nobody was a guitar 506 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:46,200 virtuoso among them. Right, that's what I was 507 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,960 thinking, and I don't think I've ever heard of George Harrison as 508 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:50,440 God. No, he's not. 509 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:55,760 He's maybe on the right hand of God while my guitar gently weeps 510 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:57,720 and Norwegian Wood is enough to make him. 511 00:27:59,920 --> 00:28:02,000 That is true. That's a very both of those 512 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:03,160 songs are composed by him, Is it? 513 00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:06,440 While my guitar gently weeps was the one where he composed it and 514 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,520 he wrote it. Norwegian would, if I'm not 515 00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,680 mistaken, was one where he played a sitar instead of a 516 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:14,600 guitar, right? Right, right, right, right. 517 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:19,920 So we are talking about somebody who was already established and 518 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:25,160 I'm assuming gone on to gain recognition as a guitarist. 519 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,160 Oh yeah, you definitely know both of them. 520 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,280 Are both of them British? I'll give you a clue. 521 00:28:30,680 --> 00:28:32,720 Why is very famously self-taught. 522 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:34,880 Nobody taught him. He didn't go to any kind of 523 00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,680 school or teacher to learn the guitar. 524 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560 He taught himself the guitar. Why? 525 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,360 He taught himself the guitar. Yeah, very famously. 526 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:48,520 First name that came to my head when you were talking about 527 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:53,680 English British rock guitarist was Clapton. 528 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Eric Clapton. Very good. 529 00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,560 Why is Eric Clapton? Oh, why is Eric Clapton OK? 530 00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:01,240 I was just going to say X is Eric Clapton OK? 531 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,880 Why is Eric Clapton? Oh dude, seriously? 532 00:29:03,880 --> 00:29:06,480 In 60s, Eric Clapton was. Right. 533 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,600 That is true. He was already at this peak, 534 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:10,520 Yeah. He was the guy The Beatles 535 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:13,120 called when they wanted an uncredited person on this on 536 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,560 While My Guitar Gently beats Eric Clapton. 537 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:19,640 Eric Clapton was already famous. Already famous? 538 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:24,800 Young young emerging talent X was in 1966, not that well 539 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,320 known. At the time maybe you know, 540 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:30,360 especially not in England much. OK, so where is X from? 541 00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:32,840 He's from America, I can tell. I can give you that. 542 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,400 American. Yeah, think fire fire rock 543 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:37,440 guitarist. Come on. 544 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:40,120 This is like an iconic thing. It happened a year later. 545 00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:44,640 Fire rock guitarist. This is definitely not Prince. 546 00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:47,880 It is too early for Prince. It's too early for Prince. 547 00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:52,160 OK, I will tell you exactly a year later, this guy burnt a 548 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:54,640 guitar on stage. He set a guitar on fire, a 549 00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,720 Fender Stratus. Oh, burnt a guitar. 550 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:00,400 That's what you meant by fire. I'm just thinking what Like I'm 551 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,480 thinking of fire related song that is the the the the Jimmy 552 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:05,840 Hendrix. That's Jimmy Hendrix. 553 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:08,840 Yes. So it is Jimmy Hendrix who was 554 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,880 still relatively unknown, relatively unknown in 1996, 555 00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:13,240 especially in the London music scene. 556 00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:18,520 He came on to a club and played Killing Flow, which was so hard. 557 00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:20,000 That clip. Clapton himself had said that 558 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:21,480 it's almost impossible to play live. 559 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:25,520 Captain at the time was already worshipped as a guitar God. 560 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:29,800 And if you don't know why, listen to the opening riff of 561 00:30:29,800 --> 00:30:32,920 the song Leila by Derek and the Dominoes. 562 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,560 He was the lead guitarist of the band at the time, Leila Layla by 563 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,560 Derek and the Dominoes. One of the best rock songs of 564 00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,600 all time. And that opening riff is 565 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:45,400 literally fire. OK. 566 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:49,240 He was worshipped at the time with the phrase Clapton is God. 567 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,040 He was stunned. And the day that Hendrix did 568 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,840 this became known as the day Hendrix killed. 569 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,800 God. Very cool, Very cool. 570 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:01,240 The reason why I was pantomaming very poorly, you know, fire 571 00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:05,600 flames with my fingers, was because Jimi Hendrix famously on 572 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:09,360 multiple occasions set his guitar on fire after a 573 00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:10,880 performance. That's pretty cool. 574 00:31:10,880 --> 00:31:14,040 OK, I I Yeah, I got to give it to you. 575 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:15,840 This was unexpected, but I like it. 576 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,840 OK. My question for you, Vineet is 577 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,960 since we were talking about fire, I'm going to talk to you 578 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,720 about water. Blasphemy. 579 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:30,840 You're a Targaryen. Another classic trivia question. 580 00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:34,280 When we speak of rivers, we often talk about the longest 581 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,200 river, the largest river, or maybe the highest river or 582 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:41,640 whatever. I just realized that there is 583 00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,240 categorization of rivers by age. Do you know which is the world's 584 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,320 oldest river? Oh, and I would love for you to 585 00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,920 tell me which is the world's oldest river by continent. 586 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:55,680 OK, so for each continent, which is the oldest river? 587 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,320 Yeah, I'll, I'll help you out for most of them because they 588 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:03,360 might be a little difficult, but if you want to give it a shot. 589 00:32:03,720 --> 00:32:06,720 Wow. OK, I have no context clues for 590 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,400 this because this is not something I've explored, but I'm 591 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:14,040 interested so I'm going to try. Let's move from West to east. 592 00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,320 Let's start with North America. I'm thinking the Rio Grande. 593 00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:19,600 You know what? We'll come back to North America 594 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:21,840 at the very end. Let's go to some other 595 00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:29,160 continent. OK, Europe, the Volga. 596 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,720 It's not the Volga. It starts in France. 597 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:33,960 It goes to the Netherlands and goes into the Nazi. 598 00:32:34,360 --> 00:32:37,640 And this is the the Rhine. Actually, I'll give it to you. 599 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,720 It's part of the same system. Is the Rhine Muse, Muse, Muse 600 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,440 MEUSE. OK, so Muse River is the oldest 601 00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,720 river. Yeah, you better put that in 602 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,480 subtitles. Here, that is the oldest river, 603 00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:54,800 and Rhine is the second oldest river, so fine. 604 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:55,920 Wait, you got Europe. All right. 605 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,800 OK, Do you want to take a shot at another content? 606 00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:04,920 See, technically, since Europe and Asia are the same land mass, 607 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:06,720 I'm going to claim victory for both. 608 00:33:07,080 --> 00:33:09,760 OK, well, actually Asia is also interesting. 609 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,400 Do you know what is the oldest river in Asia? 610 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,560 I would guess it's either Euphrates or the Tigris. 611 00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,480 Neither, OK. By the way, just to give you a 612 00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:22,480 sense of how what, what time frame you're talking about the 613 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:27,880 Moose or the Rhine, both are around 300 million years ago. 614 00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:30,800 Wow. Yeah, that's how old the river 615 00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:34,720 we are talking about. So is it the Chinese river, one 616 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,400 of the Yangtze or something in Asia? 617 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:42,040 It's an Indian River and which is why I love the fact that I 618 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:44,760 would not have expected it. I'm OK, people are going to kill 619 00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:48,360 me for not saying the Ganga. Well, the people would be wrong. 620 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,280 Then my next option would be the Narmada. 621 00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:54,680 Narmada, very well done. Yes, because the Himalayas are 622 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,440 younger than our plateau. The Deccan Plateau, yeah. 623 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,640 The Deccan Plateau is older than the Himalayas. 624 00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,240 So Narvada was formed, actually when Gondwana broke up. 625 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,960 That's how old that river is. Wow, That's 160 million years 626 00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:10,080 ago. That's insane. 627 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,159 Yeah. It flows into the Ribbon Sea, 628 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:14,040 the oldest river in Asia. All right, great. 629 00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,760 So you got Europe, You got Asia. I don't know if you'll be able 630 00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,639 to get Africa or Australia, but right. 631 00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:22,440 OK, I don't know any rivers in Australia. 632 00:34:22,440 --> 00:34:23,600 I'm very sad. Sorry. 633 00:34:23,800 --> 00:34:27,400 Sorry I missed my geography teacher but I don't remember any 634 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:34,920 rivers in Australia. Is Victoria a river in 635 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,080 Australia? No, right? 636 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:40,159 No, no, it's it's a difficult 1. Australia is actually the 637 00:34:40,159 --> 00:34:45,520 world's oldest river. Oh finky finky finky FINKE is 638 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:48,440 400 million years ago. This is numbers. 639 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:49,960 That is mind boggling at this point. 640 00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,480 Yeah, at this point it's. Close to half a billion years 641 00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:55,159 ago is when this river was formed. 642 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,360 That's just. I don't even know how to wrap my 643 00:34:57,360 --> 00:34:59,760 head around that. It's about an eighth of the age 644 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,200 of the Earth itself. It's about 4.5 billion years, 645 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:05,200 right? Yeah. 646 00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,000 So around just around an eighth or slightly less than that. 647 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:10,000 Slightly less than that, yeah. My God. 648 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,440 OK. That's really, really old, 649 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:15,120 especially considering how much the continents are moved around. 650 00:35:15,520 --> 00:35:17,320 That's a very old river. Yeah. 651 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:18,840 OK. So that's Australia. 652 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:22,600 You got that as well. Can you take a guess as to 653 00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:24,800 Africa? This is a little actually pretty 654 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:26,080 difficult. I don't know if you've even 655 00:35:26,080 --> 00:35:27,960 heard of this. This is around 200 million years 656 00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:30,360 ago. This river is called, it's 657 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:34,560 pronounced or it's spelt SAVE. So I'm going to say Savi, Sabi, 658 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,880 Sabi, something like that. Oh, Savi. 659 00:35:37,160 --> 00:35:39,160 Flowing through Zimbabwe in Mozambique. 660 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:41,880 OK, wow, call back. Nice. 661 00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:45,480 Exactly right. And tell me which one is the one 662 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,360 in South America? The Amazon. 663 00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,760 Amazon is the oldest river in South America and comparatively 664 00:35:51,760 --> 00:35:56,000 a child it was only 11.8 to 11.3 million years ago. 665 00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,360 So, baby, when it comes to rivers. 666 00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,560 Yeah. Now we got all of them except 667 00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:06,280 North America. Now, why did you not let me 668 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:10,760 answer North America first? Exactly this is I don't even 669 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:12,800 think you'd probably know this, but do you want to take a guess 670 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:16,440 as to what is one of the oldest rivers in North America called? 671 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,200 Yeah. So I've already tried to. 672 00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,760 So it was neither than the Colorado, than the Rio Grande, 673 00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:22,480 right? Vineet, Vineet, my friend, my 674 00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,040 friend, my friend. This is not a time to flex your 675 00:36:25,040 --> 00:36:28,120 knowledge of geography. This is a time to laugh with me 676 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:31,080 at things that are funny and ridiculous in this human 677 00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:38,000 existence of ours. OK, it's not a Hudson Vineet. 678 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:42,000 I'm telling you again, don't. Don't bother trying to remember 679 00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,520 the famous rivers in America. Tell me, what would be a really 680 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:48,320 funny name for one of the world's oldest rivers? 681 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:51,400 One of the world's oldest rivers in North America to be called. 682 00:36:51,720 --> 00:36:53,760 The funniest name I could think of is probably calling it the 683 00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,640 New River or something. It's called the New River. 684 00:36:56,880 --> 00:37:02,800 Fucking kidding me. Seriously. 685 00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,640 The New River is probably the oldest river in North America. 686 00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:19,120 This whole question was just just the build up to this 687 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:20,800 question was just for this piece of trivia. 688 00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,720 Frankly, I didn't really care about. 689 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:27,760 The rest of the rivers. Not that much, it's just that 690 00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:33,440 fact that New River is the oldest river in North America is 691 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,280 really funny. OK, where is this river? 692 00:37:35,280 --> 00:37:37,280 First of all I have no clue. I was guessing. 693 00:37:37,920 --> 00:37:39,600 I mean, like, obviously you said, what's the worst possible 694 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,360 name you can give the oldest river in North America? 695 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:42,840 I was like, you can call it the newest river. 696 00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:46,400 Yeah, but where is it? To be very fair, New River is 697 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,880 potentially tied with French Broad River, or maybe one of 698 00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,960 them is slightly older. These are obviously not very 699 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,280 exact sciences. OK, but around the 320 million 700 00:37:56,280 --> 00:37:59,560 years ago mark is when both of these rivers are dated to. 701 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:03,800 New River is the river that flows through the American 702 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:08,040 states of North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, and 703 00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:12,000 it eventually forms the Kanawha River. 704 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,600 OK. That's the river. 705 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:19,360 What's the etymology of that? So the etymology, the origins of 706 00:38:19,360 --> 00:38:25,840 the name are unclear, and it's possibly because that was not on 707 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:30,400 the Fry Jefferson map of Virginia, and so they probably 708 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,200 just named it New River whenever they decided to name it. 709 00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:39,520 And that is the New River. The French Broad River is the 710 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,880 other contender, and this one is in North Carolina and Tennessee. 711 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:49,120 In America. The New River, or is, despite 712 00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,160 its name, one of the five oldest rivers in the world. 713 00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,280 Oh God, so amused when I thought of the piece of river. 714 00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:02,880 Something like this. Seriously, I don't know where 715 00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,720 you find these things, but seriously? 716 00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:07,000 This is pure chance. I didn't know that that's what 717 00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:08,160 it's called. I was like, oh, this is an 718 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:10,200 interesting fact. Perhaps I've never thought of 719 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:12,800 rivers in terms of age, so let me see, what is the world's 720 00:39:12,800 --> 00:39:15,760 oldest river? I just thought that to be very 721 00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:18,720 funny. Oh, God. 722 00:39:19,720 --> 00:39:24,920 OK, OK, OK. Moving from rivers to the 723 00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:27,760 Pacific Ocean. Great segue. 724 00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,480 Today you've gone London to London. 725 00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:32,480 You have gone river to ocean. You're you're really nailing it. 726 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:36,680 Yeah. Same again, Blue House stock. 727 00:39:37,720 --> 00:39:41,880 OK, so you've heard of Vanuatu? I have heard of Vanuatu. 728 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:43,400 Very good. So that makes it easier. 729 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:49,160 Vanuatu is a small island nation located about 1000 miles east of 730 00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,360 northern Australia. And over the past few decades 731 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:57,760 it's seen a surge in tourism. Part of this popularity comes 732 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:01,720 from the fact that it's been featured on a lot of reality TV 733 00:40:01,720 --> 00:40:05,800 show like Survivor and celebrity Survivor and all those things, 734 00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:11,440 right But another major tourist attraction is for a world first 735 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,560 innovation that was introduced in 2003. 736 00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:19,960 OK, it actually started off as a light hatred idea over drinks 737 00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:25,200 between a local resort owner and his friend, but it became. 738 00:40:25,720 --> 00:40:30,000 A very real attraction, so much so that other countries like 739 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,480 Japan, Norway, Malaysia have replicated it. 740 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:40,160 So what is this attraction that gives tourists fun and memorable 741 00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,360 story to take home? Something to do with an 742 00:40:42,360 --> 00:40:44,080 adventure sport? Some sort of scuba diving? 743 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,640 You don't need to scuba dive, but diving is involved the. 744 00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:49,160 Only reason this came to my mind is because recently I read 745 00:40:49,160 --> 00:40:52,240 somewhere that old decommissioned 73 sevens are 746 00:40:52,240 --> 00:40:55,080 being purposely sunk. But to form coral reefs? 747 00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,160 It's a common interesting spot for scuba diving, but OK if 748 00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:03,280 you're saying it's not necessarily scuba related but 749 00:41:03,280 --> 00:41:09,640 diving is involved. The only reason I know 1 water 750 00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:13,240 is because when you try to do the name all the countries in 751 00:41:13,240 --> 00:41:15,240 the world, it's one of those countries that you have to 752 00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:19,560 remember. No I have no idea at all. 753 00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:23,080 Give me a hint. OK, so when you go to say a 754 00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:29,920 place like Rome, you would go to or you go to London, you might 755 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,640 visit a museum, right? Or you might visit some other 756 00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:38,640 major institution just like that. 757 00:41:40,240 --> 00:41:42,880 That's a ridiculous clue. What does that even mean? 758 00:41:45,240 --> 00:41:48,920 Yeah, you literally just described tourism to me. 759 00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:54,080 Like when you go to a place, you visit famous places in that 760 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:55,800 city. Sure. 761 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,960 Yeah, because the concept of tourism is new to me. 762 00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:05,480 OK, maybe when you hear the answer the clue will make sense. 763 00:42:06,280 --> 00:42:09,640 Deliver on that promise. What? 764 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:15,040 It's some sort of diving. It's maybe some some sort of a 765 00:42:15,040 --> 00:42:17,760 hotel that is underwater, but that's pretty common or not 766 00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:19,640 pretty common, but at least it's in multiple places. 767 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:21,960 Not a hotel, but you're on the right track. 768 00:42:22,320 --> 00:42:26,040 Some restaurant, some sort of activity that otherwise normally 769 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:27,560 you wouldn't do underwater, something like that. 770 00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:30,960 Yes, this would probably be thought of as the worst thing to 771 00:42:30,960 --> 00:42:33,920 have underwater. Or dragon, no. 772 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:38,320 What's it do? And Dragons and Targaryens in 773 00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,080 bloodshed and black sweatshirts today. 774 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:43,600 I can. I can see my video and I can see 775 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:51,000 the Targaryen sigil. OK this has to be something that 776 00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:56,040 is terrible underwater. Only thing that comes to mind 777 00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,600 honestly is fire. Some sort of a? 778 00:42:57,680 --> 00:43:01,440 No, let's just say that the major product or thing that's 779 00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:04,800 handled in this place would be horrible underwater. 780 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:08,400 Is it related to food? No, it's not related to food. 781 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:13,920 Not food or drinks. No, I think this. 782 00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:15,800 Today is not my day to get my answers. 783 00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:19,440 You give me give me the answer. It's a very clue proof question. 784 00:43:19,440 --> 00:43:21,720 That's the problem you have to kind of get to. 785 00:43:21,720 --> 00:43:24,320 So I'll basically you've got the diving part and you're very 786 00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,720 close with this. So I'll just tell you what it 787 00:43:25,720 --> 00:43:27,520 is. It's the world's first 788 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,280 underwater post office. Interesting. 789 00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:32,880 Interesting. I think I've read this 790 00:43:32,880 --> 00:43:34,080 somewhere. Yeah, pretty cool. 791 00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,880 Pretty cool. So in 2003, they established the 792 00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:40,960 world's first underwater post office of Hideaway Island. 793 00:43:41,520 --> 00:43:45,240 It was conceived as a humorous kind of idea between friends, 794 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:49,320 but it became a reality when tourists could actually dive or 795 00:43:49,320 --> 00:43:50,960 snorkel. Which is why I said not 796 00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:52,880 specifically scope, but everything could snorkel down 797 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:57,080 and to main waterproof postcard. Cool, that's actually pretty 798 00:43:57,080 --> 00:43:58,000 good. I would love to do that. 799 00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,480 It's novelty and appeal led to similar underwater post offices 800 00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:04,920 being launched in Japan, Norway and Malaysia. 801 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:09,240 So one what 2 but however was the first to do it underwater 802 00:44:09,240 --> 00:44:10,760 post office. Yeah, have. 803 00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,320 I probably won't have gotten it, but now that I know don't 804 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:17,400 remember it. OK, so I guess that's all the 805 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:19,360 time we have for our regular round of quizzing. 806 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,960 Which brings me back to our audience question. 807 00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:28,040 So the audience question was back in 2009, XA Company caused 808 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,680 a huge media frenzy when they kicked off their Y sacrifice 809 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,720 campaign. It was a scheme where people had 810 00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:38,040 to make sacrifices to get YY being the name of the product as 811 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:42,760 well as the campaign. Facebook users were getting a 812 00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,600 free coupon for Y on removing 10 Facebook friends. 813 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:50,440 Even better, the A would alert each of those 10 friends that 814 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,200 they'd been sacrificed for the product Y. 815 00:44:53,720 --> 00:44:55,600 Why? The name of the product as well 816 00:44:55,600 --> 00:45:00,000 as the campaign also describes the magnitude of the sacrifice 817 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:02,160 that the company X was asking for. 818 00:45:02,280 --> 00:45:05,320 My question to you, dear audience, was what is X&Y? 819 00:45:05,560 --> 00:45:07,880 Before we go towards answering this question, let me give 820 00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,160 credit where it's due. This credit question was sent to 821 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:13,840 us by Aryan Chandra from IIT Kanpur. 822 00:45:13,840 --> 00:45:16,240 So Aryan, thank you for the question. 823 00:45:16,400 --> 00:45:18,040 So Aditya, you want to take a crack at it? 824 00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:19,920 I. Don't know why it immediately 825 00:45:19,920 --> 00:45:21,920 felt like a board game kind of a deal to me. 826 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:24,920 No, no, no. Not a board game. 827 00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:28,040 So then it is something that people would have to sacrifice 828 00:45:28,040 --> 00:45:30,320 for. That would be some sort of 829 00:45:31,040 --> 00:45:33,280 advertisement. No, it's very silly. 830 00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,800 Oh, it's not. It's not like something deep and 831 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:37,840 meaningful. No, absolutely not. 832 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:41,160 Oh I was thinking something like which is in person connections 833 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:43,720 so you should be not making online friends. 834 00:45:43,720 --> 00:45:46,080 OK, nothing like that. No, no, nothing like that. 835 00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:48,040 I'll give you a clue. It's food related. 836 00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,200 OK, food. Related and you said it to the 837 00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:54,320 magnitude of it also. Yeah. 838 00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:58,600 So the name of the product will actually also signify or 839 00:45:58,600 --> 00:46:03,240 describe the magnitude of the sacrifice, hence using that same 840 00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:06,600 name as the campaign also because it's the name of their 841 00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,400 major product. Oh, OK, interesting magnitude. 842 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:14,200 Say, for example, I'm describing something to you and I'm like, 843 00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:20,280 guess how much it cost a blank ₹5000? 844 00:46:22,240 --> 00:46:25,480 I'm being very dramatic. A blank ₹5000. 845 00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:29,680 A devastating ₹5000. No. 846 00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:33,320 A ginormous ₹5000. No. 847 00:46:33,520 --> 00:46:36,760 Port Lord of ₹5000. OK. 848 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:40,240 A staggering. Staggering would fit. 849 00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:44,200 Staggering would fit, but think of something more American. 850 00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:47,400 The brand name would be the word that would use that you'd use 851 00:46:47,400 --> 00:46:49,120 here, right? The product name, yes. 852 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:51,080 Food items. So it's like some FMCG thing. 853 00:46:51,400 --> 00:46:54,240 Fast food? OK, a whopping whopper. 854 00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:58,200 Exactly a Burger King. Yes, it was Burger King and the 855 00:46:58,200 --> 00:47:01,000 Whopper sacrifice. You'll get a coupon for a free 856 00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:04,080 Whopper if you sacrifice 10 Facebook friends. 857 00:47:04,400 --> 00:47:06,400 This seems like very bad marketing. 858 00:47:07,480 --> 00:47:11,120 No, the idea being that the Whopper is so good that you 859 00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:14,600 would be able to so you would wouldn't mind I'm guessing 860 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:18,000 sacrificing 10 Facebook friends. I guess, I guess it has a 861 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,240 virality component to it, but I was thinking something that 862 00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:22,520 would make sense with the idea of giving up friends. 863 00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,760 Like, why would Burger King want to be associated with the idea 864 00:47:25,760 --> 00:47:27,880 that you've given up friends? Because it's so tasty. 865 00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:31,960 Again. I'm think I'm talking from the 866 00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,120 no, no, I'm talking from the mindset of the marketing genius 867 00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:37,280 who made this, not as a consumer. 868 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,960 Let me make that clear. Like it generally is just 869 00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:42,640 reinforcing the idea that oh come eat some fast food which is 870 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,480 not very good for you, and oh also at the process, lose 871 00:47:45,480 --> 00:47:48,480 friends because you don't deserve friends, just unhealthy 872 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:50,640 food. Frankly, Burger King. 873 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,960 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I gotta, I gotta stop you on 874 00:47:53,960 --> 00:47:55,080 that. It is fast food. 875 00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:59,400 It is unhealthy. I like Burger King, and for 876 00:47:59,400 --> 00:48:03,560 somebody who loves his meat in the food, I love Burger King 877 00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:06,440 vegetarian burgers. I think they're pretty good 878 00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:10,280 vegetarian burgers. I'm not saying this is because 879 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,040 one of my closest friends who works at Burger King and it's 880 00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:19,560 like one of the hot shots the company that's just a lovely 881 00:48:19,680 --> 00:48:22,080 thing to have to get some free burgers once in a while when I 882 00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:25,320 meet him. But otherwise also, I think BK 883 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,840 has good burgers. But hey, listen, I I it never 884 00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:31,080 endorse fast food until unless they're paying me. 885 00:48:32,520 --> 00:48:35,720 If Burger King wants to come on as a sponsor, I will sing 886 00:48:35,720 --> 00:48:38,640 praises to the high heavens. But till they don't, you know 887 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,080 what? Avoid fast food if you can. 888 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,720 I'll be very honest with you, none of the major mainstream 889 00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:49,000 burger chains can make a decent burger. 890 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:52,760 Oh. In India, let me put, let me put 891 00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,320 that caveat in India. In India because the same brands 892 00:48:56,320 --> 00:48:58,280 you go outside, they'll give you excellent burger. 893 00:48:58,960 --> 00:49:00,720 I wouldn't say excellent, but good burgers. 894 00:49:00,720 --> 00:49:02,520 Like outside India, they'll give you good burgers. 895 00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:05,320 This is this is a very random tangent have gone down, but 896 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,440 since we're here, I would say the price point actually 897 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:11,640 probably is a big factor also. Maybe, but also the fact that 898 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,160 most burgers outside India are made from beef. 899 00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,360 That also I think beef is a classic meat for a burger and 900 00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:19,720 here you have to do a chicken and a vegetarian. 901 00:49:21,280 --> 00:49:24,680 The Burger King tried to make a like they've gone by the lamb 902 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,880 root like a lamb Whopper. Shout out to my friend, I don't 903 00:49:28,880 --> 00:49:31,560 know if he wants to be named but he's a trivia buddy as well. 904 00:49:32,520 --> 00:49:35,800 Dude I love you. Next time I meet you please give 905 00:49:35,800 --> 00:49:38,280 me some free burgers. I love you, I love working. 906 00:49:38,800 --> 00:49:40,520 Or better, get sponsor the podcast. 907 00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:45,840 Yeah, that's a possibility. BK sponsored. 908 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:49,320 Are you quizzing me? OK, let me just put it I my 909 00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:52,120 principles are for sale. Absolutely, 100%. 910 00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,360 I would eat a burger on like I will literally have a Burger 911 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:59,360 King logo, wear one of those silly hats and have put this on 912 00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:03,400 video if you will sponsor this. If I was around 100 years ago I 913 00:50:03,400 --> 00:50:06,640 would have been happy to take money from like a guillotine 914 00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:11,280 manufacturer. OK, no comms at all. 915 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:15,120 It wouldn't have to be 100 years ago, because, fun fact, the last 916 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,160 guillotine execution in France 76. 917 00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:20,640 Yeah, you beat me to it. It was the 76th year. 918 00:50:22,200 --> 00:50:26,720 Same year that Durex sponsored car in British Grand Prix. 919 00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,880 Yeah. Well, lovely, lovely and very 920 00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:32,880 neatly packaged. And wrap it up for us, Vineet. 921 00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,200 Pop culture recommendations. I have only one pop culture 922 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,080 recommendation today. That is the show adults. 923 00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,960 And the way I'm going to sell adults to you is the way that it 924 00:50:42,960 --> 00:50:45,400 was sold to me. If somebody cuts out just this 925 00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:49,000 clip, like the way you know I'm going to sell adults to you is 926 00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:52,080 the way it was sold to me, it makes you sound like some kind 927 00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,360 of human trafficker. I think slavery is perhaps where 928 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:57,640 I draw the line when it comes to sponsorship deals. 929 00:50:57,640 --> 00:51:00,520 Like I don't know if I want to be sponsored by slavery and 930 00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:05,200 human trafficking. I I love the show because a 931 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:09,080 friend of mine posted about it online and he said if you love 932 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,640 the show friends, you're going to love adults and if you hated 933 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:14,520 the show friends, you're going to love adults. 934 00:51:14,800 --> 00:51:18,120 And what he was trying to say in a pity way was the fact that it 935 00:51:18,160 --> 00:51:22,560 is the classic 20 year olds in a big city scope of living 936 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:27,360 together and all of that. But it it compensates for the 937 00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:30,080 the shortcomings of friends. Like when you watch it, it does 938 00:51:30,080 --> 00:51:33,920 feel outdated. Some of the the gay jokes and 939 00:51:33,920 --> 00:51:37,000 all like just are a little quaint and and of a different 940 00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:38,080 era it. Was true. 941 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,520 It was 30 years ago. That is true. 942 00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,920 I'm pretty sure back then maybe showing a lesbian woman was was 943 00:51:44,920 --> 00:51:46,760 considered progressive. I don't know. 944 00:51:47,040 --> 00:51:50,160 And I wasn't really very much aware of what is happening then. 945 00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:55,360 But today to today's years and today's moral centers might be a 946 00:51:55,360 --> 00:51:58,000 little lacking. And adults feels like it has 947 00:51:58,280 --> 00:52:00,080 done a very refreshing take on it. 948 00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:03,200 It is. It is loud, it's brazen, it is 949 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,760 crass. The first opening scene of the 950 00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:11,760 pilot episode is one of the most cringe funny episodes I've ever 951 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,720 seen. Cringe funny scenes I've ever 952 00:52:13,720 --> 00:52:16,560 seen. But wow it was hilarious and I 953 00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:20,600 have laughed out loud multiple times in multiple episodes. 954 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,320 So comedy show for, you know, the sitcom lovers who love a 20 955 00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:28,240 year old bunch of 20 year olds figuring life out kind of 956 00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:32,080 shtick. This is your show and I also 957 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,080 have a book recommendation. Now this book recommendation. 958 00:52:35,640 --> 00:52:38,640 Here's the deal. Read the first 2/3, the last 959 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,400 third because I, I don't know what happened to the last third 960 00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:43,000 of this book. It really broke my heart because 961 00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:45,840 the 1st 2/3 were phenomenally funny. 962 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:48,640 I was, it doesn't happen very often when you're reading a book 963 00:52:48,640 --> 00:52:51,240 and you're laughing as you're reading out the book. 964 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,960 But there were multiple occasions where I was like, oh, 965 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:55,720 this is just generally very funny. 966 00:52:55,720 --> 00:52:58,920 Whatever is written here, there's a fraction of the whole 967 00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:02,120 and it's by an Australian author. 968 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:04,480 Just, I don't know. I don't know. 969 00:53:04,480 --> 00:53:08,120 I think he he ran out of gas somewhere, I guess because the 970 00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:10,560 last third of the book is just weird. 971 00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:12,880 I didn't, I didn't get it. I don't know what he was trying 972 00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:17,480 to do, but the beginning 66% great. 973 00:53:18,080 --> 00:53:22,320 Those are my 2 recommendations. I just realized I recommended a 974 00:53:22,320 --> 00:53:24,920 fraction of the whole of a fraction of the whole. 975 00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:30,360 Yeah, you can't make this shit up. 976 00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:33,400 Great recommendations. My recommendations? 977 00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:36,320 I've already mentioned 2, which are the 2 Michael Mann movies 978 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,520 and Collateral. Definitely go watch both of 979 00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:42,080 them. My other recommendation since 980 00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:47,520 you mentioned the show, Adults is probably the only other show 981 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:52,240 where I've spent half the time like laughing, like belly 982 00:53:52,240 --> 00:53:55,800 laughing. But I don't know for this 983 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:00,960 generation whether it stands up because it came out in 2000 so 984 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,880 it's around 25 years old. The show is called Coupling. 985 00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:08,400 It's got three seasons. It's a British sitcom. 986 00:54:08,400 --> 00:54:10,240 Do not watch the American version. 987 00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:15,120 Watch the British sitcom. It was created and directed by 988 00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:19,600 Simon Steven Moffat. For those who were more 989 00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:22,920 familiar, he's the guy who created Sherlock, and he was 990 00:54:22,920 --> 00:54:26,360 also the writer for Doctor Who for a long period of time. 991 00:54:28,400 --> 00:54:30,360 But Coupling was one of his earliest works and it's 992 00:54:30,680 --> 00:54:32,800 fantastic. Really, really good. 993 00:54:33,840 --> 00:54:37,080 Again, surprisingly, I would say the first two seasons out of 994 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,120 three this so 2/3 of that show is great. 995 00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,080 Yeah. So the third season kind of went 996 00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:42,120 off the rails a little bit, yeah. 997 00:54:42,320 --> 00:54:44,960 But coupling is funny. Coupling is funny. 998 00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:46,400 Funny. Yeah, probably. 999 00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:49,000 Again, I've saw it many years ago back in college, so I don't 1000 00:54:49,000 --> 00:54:51,840 know if it feels like it's a little outdated in its humor, 1001 00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:54,960 but it was also meant to be irreverent and crassy. 1002 00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,920 Very, very crass. Unlike like a Friends where the 1003 00:54:58,920 --> 00:55:01,920 intention was not to be crassy, Coupling was all about just 1004 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,160 crass sexual humor. And somehow they just nailed. 1005 00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:08,960 It and one other alternative show again, if you like friends 1006 00:55:09,280 --> 00:55:14,800 but were like what if I had friends but the people were 1007 00:55:14,800 --> 00:55:18,720 directly the opposite and like horrible people in general. 1008 00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:21,520 It's always sunny. No, no, it's not OK. 1009 00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,200 It's always suddenly in Philadelphia is fantastic, but 1010 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:26,280 it's not It's doesn't have a friend's vibe. 1011 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:28,640 It's got more of a very nearestic vibe. 1012 00:55:28,640 --> 00:55:30,000 In Philadelphia is a little too cold. 1013 00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:32,680 The the show is going to recommend is happy ending. 1014 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:34,120 Oh, I've not seen this. OK. 1015 00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:37,400 OK, happy endings. I think it's three or three 1016 00:55:37,400 --> 00:55:38,840 seasons or Four Seasons, something like that. 1017 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:42,480 People are horrible. The characters are horrible and 1018 00:55:42,480 --> 00:55:44,560 nice, just like most human beings. 1019 00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:50,320 The gay character in the in the show was what see probably the 1020 00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:52,280 most see, most of the time what happens is there is this kind of 1021 00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:55,880 pitfall whenever they depict gay characters on screen is that 1022 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:59,080 they tend to make them either very refined and, you know, very 1023 00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:03,360 prim and proper and stylish like, you know, Captain Holt in. 1024 00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,520 Brooklyn 9/9. Yeah, Brooklyn 99 or then you go 1025 00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,040 the other kind of camp route like you had in. 1026 00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,440 Cam in Modern Family. Cam in Modern Family. 1027 00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:16,200 So you can you go on one of those two routes. 1028 00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:18,800 This is directly the opposite. This guy's gay, but he's 1029 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:24,280 scruffy, he's masculine and he's very you wouldn't like he's not 1030 00:56:24,280 --> 00:56:27,440 the typical kind of gay character and he's very open 1031 00:56:27,440 --> 00:56:31,840 about his sexuality in the movie, in the entire show. 1032 00:56:32,080 --> 00:56:36,720 The show is it's an acquired taste, but if you want a kind of 1033 00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:40,560 slightly different, less saccharine sitcom, I would say 1034 00:56:40,560 --> 00:56:43,920 you can watch Happy Endings Coupling if you want to just 1035 00:56:43,920 --> 00:56:51,520 belly laugh again, maybe funny to an old guy like me, but try 1036 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:54,360 it out. So those are my pop culture 1037 00:56:54,360 --> 00:56:58,080 recommendations for this week. And that's all the time we have 1038 00:56:58,080 --> 00:57:00,440 for this episode.
