00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.080
What is the only part of the body that cannot heal itself?
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:06.639
The answer to that at the end of the show.
00:00:06.639 --> 00:00:17.839
Welcome to Quizzical, the trivia show where knowing is half the battle and the other half is saying it out loud.
00:00:17.839 --> 00:00:27.519
I'm Scott Strosahl, and today's episode features two bold contestants stepping willingly into the trivia arena, armed with knowledge and reckless confidence.
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:34.079
This is the third of four head-to-head matchups, the winners of which will face off in a final showdown in a couple weeks.
00:00:34.079 --> 00:00:40.560
In today's games, we'll be pondering whether it's Maybelline and finding out if idioms are a blessing in disguise.
00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.880
And along the way, we'll also crown our next People's Champion with the answer to last week's listener question.
00:00:46.880 --> 00:00:49.200
So play along, pause if you need to.
00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.039
Accuracy is aspirational.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:57.920
We've got questions, we've got answers, and we've got at least one fact today that your brain will prioritize for no good reason.
00:00:57.920 --> 00:01:01.679
Now let's meet our two contestants and get to the trivia.
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.480
First up, we have Daphne, a PhD student from North Carolina.
00:01:06.480 --> 00:01:07.519
Welcome, Daphne.
00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:09.519
Hi, glad to be here.
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.840
So what's the focus of the PhD?
00:01:12.159 --> 00:01:14.239
So it's in general education.
00:01:14.239 --> 00:01:26.560
However, I'm focusing on training in autism early interventions because I I work with autistics and I want to improve the field I work in.
00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:28.560
So how far into the process are you?
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:29.359
Are you just starting?
00:01:29.359 --> 00:01:30.879
Are you just about to finish?
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.599
I've already started my dissertation.
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.239
I have about maybe a year to go.
00:01:36.640 --> 00:01:36.959
Okay.
00:01:36.959 --> 00:01:42.239
Um and then uh I understand you used to play a lot of niche computer games back in the 90s.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:43.200
Do you have a favorite?
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:43.599
Definitely.
00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:44.560
What's your favorite?
00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:51.280
What's your favorite computer game that most of the audience will have never heard of, but there will be one listener that's like, I love that game.
00:01:51.680 --> 00:02:00.959
So the creatures trilogy from the 90s and early 2000s, it was really it was better than Tamagotchi.
00:02:00.959 --> 00:02:06.079
It was better than Sims, in my opinion, but it was virtual reality.
00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:14.879
You had these little creatures running around the screen called norns that you had to keep alive and teach teach how to um survive.
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:15.439
Very good.
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:15.680
All right.
00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:24.159
Well, and next up is Jack from Washington, who can identify almost any country based on its outline, or so he claims.
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:25.120
Yes.
00:02:25.680 --> 00:02:26.639
Welcome, Jack.
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:27.120
Thank you.
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:27.919
Good to have you here.
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:28.319
Thank you.
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:29.120
Glad to be here.
00:02:29.120 --> 00:02:32.159
So which country has the strangest outline?
00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:34.479
Ooh, that's a good question.
00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:35.840
The most weird.
00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:38.800
Where I would look at the outline and be like, that's a country.
00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:39.599
Hmm.
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:40.639
Hmm.
00:02:40.639 --> 00:02:43.840
So Chile is kind of long and thin.
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:44.960
It's a little unusual.
00:02:45.199 --> 00:02:49.520
I was originally thinking like South Africa because it has like two holes in it, basically.
00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:51.120
Oh, that's that's interesting too.
00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:53.599
Yeah, that's there's a few of them that have holes in them, right?
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:57.360
Like I know Italy has a couple of um holes in them.
00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.840
Um that that's a good that's a different way.
00:02:59.840 --> 00:03:02.560
So you could go with a weird shape or the fact that it has holes in it.
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:02.960
That's good.
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:03.199
Yeah.
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:09.120
Um now my other question is which two countries are the hardest to distinguish where they just almost look identical.
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:17.599
Uh any of the like any island or any sure, like any of the really small countries.
00:03:17.919 --> 00:03:18.879
Really small ones, yeah.
00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.520
Because they tend to they probably tend to look like islands, actually.
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:21.919
Yeah.
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:22.319
Yeah.
00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.199
Like San Marino looks like an island, right?
00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:30.159
Um, are you now are you good with the outs outlines of states as well, like the US states?
00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:31.439
Do you know those are not as much?
00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:33.840
I mean, maybe, but not as good.
00:03:33.840 --> 00:03:34.159
No.
00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.439
Yeah, not like the countries.
00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:35.840
Yeah.
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:36.560
Cool.
00:03:36.560 --> 00:03:43.360
Well, you know, niche computer games and country outlines are probably not going to help you in today's games, but that's okay.
00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:44.319
All right.
00:03:44.319 --> 00:03:45.759
Are you guys ready?
00:03:46.080 --> 00:03:47.120
Yeah, let's go.
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:49.360
Then let's get quizzical.
00:03:49.360 --> 00:04:01.520
So our first game today is called Maybe It's Maybelline, uh, inspired by the classic line from the commercials back in the 90s.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:03.120
I think they brought back in recent years.
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:05.120
Maybe she's black with it.
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:07.039
Maybe it's Maybelline.
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:13.039
So in this game, all of the answers will start with May, M-A-Y.
00:04:13.039 --> 00:04:18.240
And you must answer in the form of maybe it's May, whatever.
00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:20.720
The May could be pronounced differently.
00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:27.199
It's not necessarily, it doesn't necessarily sound like May, but it will start with the letters M-A-Y at the start of the answer.
00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:38.399
Um, for example, if I said it's possible that she's an SNL alum who starred in Bridesmaids, you would answer, maybe it's Maya Rudolph.
00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:40.399
Because Maya starts with M-A-Y.
00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:41.040
I see.
00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:41.519
Yes.
00:04:41.519 --> 00:04:43.199
So we're gonna buzz in to answer.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.160
If you get it wrong, your opponent will have a chance to steal.
00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.720
Jack, your buzzer sounds like.
00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:51.839
And Daphne, your buzzer sounds like.
00:04:51.839 --> 00:04:55.439
Alright, any questions before we start with this one?
00:04:55.439 --> 00:04:56.720
Here we go.
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.000
Question one.
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:04.560
Perhaps it's an emulsion of oil, egg yolk, and vinegar or lemon juice.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:06.560
Ooh, Jack.
00:05:06.560 --> 00:05:09.040
Uh, maybe it's mayonnaise?
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:10.240
Very good.
00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:11.519
Maybe it's mayonnaise.
00:05:11.519 --> 00:05:12.639
Nice.
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:14.240
Alright.
00:05:14.240 --> 00:05:15.360
Question two.
00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:21.199
It could be a Norwegian metal band or a state of great confusion and chaos.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:24.160
Jack.
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:25.759
Maybe it's mayhem?
00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:27.600
Maybe it's mayhem.
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.879
Nice.
00:05:28.879 --> 00:05:31.439
Are you familiar with the the band?
00:05:31.439 --> 00:05:33.600
Or a state of chaos.
00:05:33.600 --> 00:05:37.759
I have three boys at home, so I am familiar with a state of chaos.
00:05:37.759 --> 00:05:41.680
Alright, next question.
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:46.240
It's possible that we're calling for help on the first day of the fifth month.
00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.360
Ooh, Daphne.
00:05:50.959 --> 00:05:53.279
Maybe it's May Day.
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:54.800
Correct.
00:05:54.800 --> 00:05:56.000
Maybe it's May Day.
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:56.800
Very good.
00:05:56.800 --> 00:05:58.160
Alright, next up.
00:05:58.160 --> 00:06:04.399
She might be a game show host, or a neuroscientist, or the star of the 90s sitcom Blossom.
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.600
And maybe.
00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:09.439
Oh, there you go, Daphne.
00:06:10.560 --> 00:06:16.079
Maybe it's Ma the Jeopardy host.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.439
I can't remember her name.
00:06:17.759 --> 00:06:18.800
You're you're you're there.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:19.519
What is their name?
00:06:19.519 --> 00:06:20.000
Do you know?
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:20.639
Do you know?
00:06:22.879 --> 00:06:23.680
Oh man.
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:30.800
Um Maeum?
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:31.600
Is that what you said?
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:32.720
Yeah, Mayum.
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.480
M-A-Y-I-M.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:35.759
I'm gonna I'm gonna give it to you.
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:36.399
Maybe it's Mayum.
00:06:36.399 --> 00:06:36.639
Yep.
00:06:36.639 --> 00:06:37.920
Mayum Byolik is her name.
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:38.319
Fair enough.
00:06:38.639 --> 00:06:39.920
Don't think of the body Bialik.
00:06:40.240 --> 00:06:40.399
Yes.
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:41.040
Biolik.
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:42.800
It's an unusual last name.
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:43.759
Okay, next up.
00:06:43.759 --> 00:06:47.199
Perhaps this aquatic insect will take to the air.
00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:52.160
Alright, we're gonna say time's up.
00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:53.120
Nobody gets that one.
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:56.560
So maybe it's Mayfly.
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:01.680
Because a Mayfly is an aquatic insect and it may fly.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.040
It might take to the air.
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:03.680
Clever.
00:07:03.680 --> 00:07:06.319
Alright.
00:07:06.319 --> 00:07:08.000
Next up.
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:13.680
It could conceivably be the ship that brought pilgrims to the new world in 1620.
00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.800
Jack, first one in.
00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:18.720
Maybe it's the Mayflower?
00:07:18.720 --> 00:07:20.399
Maybe it's the Mayflower.
00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:21.040
Very good.
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:24.879
I could hear lots of furious clicking going on there.
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:27.040
I think from both of you, probably.
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:27.600
Yep.
00:07:27.600 --> 00:07:29.920
You both buzzed in almost immediately.
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:31.040
Alright.
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:32.639
Next question.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:36.240
Perhaps it's a timetable made up of three wheels.
00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:39.600
The hob, the tsulken, and the long count.
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:44.000
Timetable made up of three wheels.
00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.040
The hob, the tsulken, and the long count.
00:07:47.040 --> 00:07:51.519
Oh, Daphne.
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:56.399
It's wrong, but maybe it's the May counter.
00:07:58.079 --> 00:07:58.959
Good guess.
00:07:58.959 --> 00:08:00.319
Incorrect.
00:08:00.319 --> 00:08:05.120
Jack, you can try and steal if you have I'm judging by your face.
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:07.120
Oh, he he's he's gonna go for it.
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:08.399
Throw something out there, right?
00:08:08.399 --> 00:08:08.959
Yeah.
00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:12.720
Maybe it's the May table.
00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.720
Also good good attempt, but no.
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:19.439
Maybe it's the Mayan calendar.
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:20.879
Oh my goodness.
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:27.279
I was thinking of Mayan at the beginning of this thing when he first introduced it.
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:28.399
Alright.
00:08:28.399 --> 00:08:30.399
This is the last question.
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:36.960
Could it be Baker who captains the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense?
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:38.399
Jack.
00:08:38.399 --> 00:08:40.960
Maybe it's Mayfield.
00:08:40.960 --> 00:08:41.600
Correct.
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:42.559
Maybe it's Mayfield.
00:08:42.559 --> 00:08:43.679
Baker Mayfield.
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:44.399
All right.
00:08:44.399 --> 00:08:45.360
Very good.
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:51.360
Alright, great job to both of you, but especially good job to Jack, who is one step closer to making the final.
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:56.639
And Daphne, you will have to win the next game to force a tiebreaker and keep your hopes alive.
00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:05.759
Today's episode is brought to you by the patrons.
00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:10.960

00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.559
You can find links to all the things at quizzical.fm.
00:09:40.559 --> 00:09:49.679
And now it's time for the answer to last week's listener question.
00:09:49.679 --> 00:10:00.559
As a refresher, last week's question was what is unique about the number 8,549,176,320?
00:10:00.559 --> 00:10:09.200
Well, we heard from a few people that said it contains every digit once, zero through nine, which is true, but lots of numbers contain that.
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:21.679
So what's very unique about this number is that it contains all the digits zero through nine in alphabetical order, starting with eight that has an E at the beginning and ending with zero that starts with a Z.
00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.080
So if you figured that out, congratulations.
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:31.039
But this week's randomly selected winner from all of the correct answers we received was Kirsten or maybe Kirsten.
00:10:31.039 --> 00:10:35.440
Congratulations, Kirsten, you are this week's people's champion.
00:10:35.440 --> 00:10:40.960
We'll be hosting that on all our socials, and you can share that with your friends to show that you are a champion.
00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:46.159
And now for this week's listener question, there are three bags.
00:10:46.159 --> 00:10:53.759
One with a hundred black marbles, one with a hundred white marbles, and one with a 50-50 mix of black and white.
00:10:53.759 --> 00:10:56.879
So there's 50 black and 50 white in the third bag.
00:10:56.879 --> 00:11:01.120
All the bags are labeled, but the labels are incorrect.
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:09.440
So the question is: what is the minimum number of marbles you need to pull out of the bags in order to correct the labels?
00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:12.960
And which bags should you pull marbles out of?
00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:18.720
So three bags, one as all black, one is all white, one has 50-50, and we know all the labels are incorrect.
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:26.080
The minimum number of marbles you need to pull out of the bags in order to correct the labels, and which bags you should pull the marbles out of.
00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:39.440
If you think you know the answer, send us a message to people at quizzical.fm or go to our website, quizzical.fm, and click on the send a voicemail button, and you could submit your answer in audio form.
00:11:39.440 --> 00:11:47.919
And if you just have something interesting you think we'd like to hear, or maybe a trivia question for us, you can also send us a voicemail and maybe you'll show up on a future episode.
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:52.000
As always, you can find all the links at quizzical.fm.
00:11:52.000 --> 00:12:00.240
And with that, it's time for our second game.
00:12:00.240 --> 00:12:02.320
Daphne, Jack, are you guys ready?
00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:03.360
I'm ready.
00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:04.320
Excited.
00:12:04.320 --> 00:12:12.639
All right, our second game today is called Bible idiom or bibliidium or somehow smash Bible and idiom together.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:20.399
I'm not sure how you would pronounce that word, but these are questions about common English idioms that originated in the Bible.
00:12:20.399 --> 00:12:31.360
So just to review, for those who might not be familiar, an idiom is, of course, a phrase that has a non-literal meaning, like hit the books means you're studying, not literally punching books.
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:35.360
Um, there are quite a few idioms that actually come from the Bible originally.
00:12:35.360 --> 00:12:40.720
So we'll take turns on this one so you can put your buzzers down and feel free to talk it out before you answer.
00:12:40.720 --> 00:12:43.519
But if you miss, your opponent will get a chance to steal.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:46.000
So any questions before we start this one?
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:47.360
Sounds good.
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:51.679
All right, we will start with Daphne, first one up.
00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:57.360
Jesus told his disciples that the Pharisees were like, who leading whom?
00:13:00.399 --> 00:13:03.919
The Pharisees were like sheep leading sheep.
00:13:03.919 --> 00:13:04.480
No.
00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:12.000
I'm going to go with it's like a oh, the blind leading the blind.
00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:13.519
Very good.
00:13:13.519 --> 00:13:15.120
The blind leading the blind.
00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:15.600
Yep.
