Warnings Heeded and Men Needed | 26.2.2

Intro

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Why has no one ever celebrated a birthday for Pluto? The answer to that at the end of the show. Welcome to Quizzical, the trivia show where knowing random things finally pays off. I'm Scott Strossel here with two contestants who are about to discover whether their brains are finely tuned instruments or just very confident guessers. This is the second of four head-to-head matchups, the winners of which will face off in a final round in a few weeks. And quickly I want to mention that today's show is brought to you by the patrons, as always. We had a new patron join this last week. Welcome to Fernando Vizio, the newest member of the Quizness Casual team over at patreon.com slash quizzical FM. We really appreciate the support. I've got a visual trivia round involving pictures that I'm gonna throw on the Patreon page this weekend. It'll be available to all members under the Patreon, whatever level, including the free level. This first visual game will be available to the free members at Patreon as well. But I plan to post more in the future for all of the paid levels. So check the link in the description. Go to patreon.com slash quizzicalfm or just go to quizzical.fm and follow the links from there, and you can find that. There's a good chance that it'll be up by the time you're listening to this. It's just kind of a fun trivia round of pictures, doesn't really work in podcast format, but I thought people would enjoy it. So go over there and check it out. And if financially supporting the show is in the cards for you, consider joining as Quizness Casual like Fernando, a trivial pursuer like Roger, or a last call legend like Chinook. We really appreciate all of you helping to keep this show ad-free. Today's games will have us heating warnings and listening to a piano man. And along the way, we'll also crown another people's champion with the answer to last week's listener question. So play along, pause if you need to, negotiate with your memory. It's probably flawed. We've got questions, we've got answers, and at least one fact today that will make you annoying at a party. So let's meet our two contestants and get to the trivia. First up we have Adam from Ames, Iowa. Adam can solve a Rubik's Cube in under 30 seconds, and his life goal is to eat five dozen eggs in one day. Welcome, Adam.

SPEAKER_00 2:26

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Happy to be here.

SPEAKER_02 2:30

So, question is uh five dozen eggs. Did you get this life goal from Gaston?

SPEAKER_00 2:37

Definitely, yeah. Exactly, exactly. Yep.

SPEAKER_02 2:41

Yeah, role model hero. Okay, cool. And the next question, of course, is how many eggs have you eaten today?

SPEAKER_00 2:48

Today, uh today I've eaten zero eggs. Oh my goodness. Uh only a couple days ago, I think I had two dozen eggs um in one day, but today I have not had a single egg.

SPEAKER_02 3:00

So do you do you always cook them the same way, or do you have them different ways?

SPEAKER_00 3:05

Or um I I have worked pretty hard on learning how to make them fluffy. Uh I definitely like a good scrambled, fluffy egg. But sometimes I'll do uh sunny side up.

SPEAKER_02 3:19

Okay. Are you a hard-boiled egg, poached egg guy, any of those kind of things, or scrambled fried?

SPEAKER_00 3:25

Uh I've done I've done hard-boiled egg once or twice. It's fine. Uh deviled eggs are amazing, but they take a lot of effort to make, so I'll have those at holidays and stuff.

SPEAKER_02 3:36

Uh mostly scrambled. Alright, cool. And next up is David from Denver, Colorado. David is a technical director at a university research lab by day and a puzzler by night. Welcome, David. Thanks. And I had three eggs this morning. Three eggs this morning. So the the egg guy is losing in the egg race. I think I had uh a couple eggs earlier today. I had a couple hard-boiled eggs earlier today, so.

SPEAKER_00 4:04

This is embarrassing.

SPEAKER_02 4:07

I've been perfecting my scrambled eggs. Nice. Um, and and David might be more well known to some people by his YouTube name, Ranksk, where you can find him solving puzzles on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, other places. Is those the that's the main places? Instagram? Where else can they find you?

SPEAKER_03 4:27

Uh those are the main places. I also have a Patreon, and I'm now posting my videos there. That's right for paying members, and that's mostly because all the platforms have started showing so many ads. And Patreon does not show ads. Yes.

SPEAKER_02 4:41

Well, and so I should mention then that's a perfect time for me to mention that this podcast does not have ads. So people should go check out your Patreon, but also our Patreon, quizzical.fm. Shameless plug. Um and and we'll mention your adventure series. So um if people are interested in Sudoku and haven't gotten into variant Sudokus, you have a series of um smaller Sudoku puzzles that are intended to be for not complete beginners, but solvable by complete beginners, right?

SPEAKER_03 5:14

Yeah, exactly. It kind of eases you into the world of variant Sudoku. Um and also even experienced solvers like to solve these as like a quick five-minute break. Yeah. We have over a thousand puzzles completely free. And uh I should mention that Scott has contributed quite a few puzzles to the series.

SPEAKER_02 5:34

I've even solved a couple of them that you set because you didn't want to solve your own, so I've I've been on uh you've even seen me occasionally on there, very occasionally, very rarely.

SPEAKER_03 5:42

But Scott is my go-to guy if I set a puzzle and I need someone to solve it on the channel. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:48

Adam, are you a Sudoku guy at all?

SPEAKER_00 5:51

I'm not, but I'm kind of worried about doing trivia against the guy who does puzzles as a hobby, and my goal is just to eat a bunch of eggs. This doesn't seem like it'd go very well.

SPEAKER_02 6:02

Well, you never know. What if we have a bunch of questions about cooking eggs?

SPEAKER_00 6:06

Maybe, maybe. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 6:08

We we don't, we don't, but we also don't have a bunch of questions about puzzles, so that's good, that's reinsuring.

SPEAKER_00 6:14

We'll see.

SPEAKER_03 6:15

We'll see how it goes. I can tell you a whole lot about the digits from one to nine, but nothing about sports. For sure. What's this what's the secret? Oh, so the secret, you're not supposed to tell anyone, but the sum of the digits from one to nine is forty-five. Right. That's very good. Very important information when you're doing variant Sudokus, the nine by nines at least. Now, the secret in six by six Sudoku, which is what the adventure series uses, is twenty-one.

SPEAKER_02 6:41

And Adam's just nodding along. Yep. Yep. So how many points do I get for that, Scott? Uh you get no points. You get no points. Um maybe, maybe some listeners will be impressed, and that's about it. Others will be confused, and that's okay.

SPEAKER_03 6:54

Well, I want to know why we aren't celebrating Pluto's birthday personally.

Game 1 - I tried to warn you

SPEAKER_02 6:57

Well, I guess you'll find out at the end. That's that's the teaser that gets people to stay to the end, hopefully. Yeah, I'm reminding them. Yeah, good. All right. Well, now that we know each other, are we ready for some trivia? I'm ready. Well, then let's get quizzical. Our first game today is called I Tried to Warn You. Most products these days have warning labels, but some seem more necessary than others. For example, a wheelbarrow that says not intended for highway use. Seems kind of silly. So in this game, I'm going to read you a warning label, a real warning label from a product, and you simply have to tell me the product it was found on. Okay? We're gonna buzz in to answer, but if you get it wrong, your opponent will have a chance to steal. Adam, your buzzer sounds like. And David, your buzzer sounds like. Okay, here we go. The first warning label is remove child before folding. David. Car seat. Car seat? Oh, um, no, that's not quite correct, actually. You don't usually fold a car seat. Some of them fold, but I guess. Some of them. Adam, can you steal?

SPEAKER_00 8:17

Like the high top chairs for babies that they sit in. I don't know what the correct term is for them.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

That's also a good guess. That's also a good guess, but I'm gonna say no. It's a baby stroller, actually.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

So the stroller makes a lot of sense.

SPEAKER_02 8:33

Yep, yep. My stroller tells the others were good guesses, but alright. Next next warning label. Do not blow on the edge connector or touch with your fingers. Oh, David. Is that a Nintendo cartridge? It is. It's specifically a Nintendo 64 cartridge, but yeah, a game cartridge would have been good enough on that one. Yep. Nintendo cartridge. But that was that was what always worked back in the day when I was a kid. You you blow on it. That was how you got it to work, yeah. That's how I got it to work. But you're not supposed to. Next warning label. Do not eat raw. Bake before cooking. Bake before eating, sorry. Ooh. Adam was first. Bacon? Bacon? Is that what it's? Oh no, I said chicken. Chicken? No, incorrect. Good guess, good guess. Um, does David have want to steal? Cookie dough. Cookie dough is correct. Yes, cookie dough. I mean, you should cook chicken before you eat it too. But I don't know that there's as many people, you know, trying to eat that raw. So they make cookie dough that you can eat raw now.

SPEAKER_03 9:38

Like they pasteurize it. They do, they do.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

And part of the problem with eating raw cookie dough is the eggs. But it's actually mostly the flour, I hear.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

You're actually more likely to get salmonella from the flour than the eggs.

SPEAKER_02 9:51

That's interesting. Yeah. Okay. Good to know. Alright, next warning label. Direct contact can cause product to stick to hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes. Not intended for use as earplugs. Ooh, Adam. Play-doh? It's not Play-Doh. Good guess. Good guess. David, can you steal?

SPEAKER_03 10:18

I don't even have a guess for this one, sorry.

SPEAKER_02 10:21

That's alright. Alright. Well, we're gonna say nobody gets it then. It was silly putty.

SPEAKER_03 10:26

Oh, so close.

SPEAKER_02 10:28

Yep, yep. Play-doh wouldn't be so so much sticky with the hair and stuff, but yeah, you definitely wouldn't want to use that as earplugs, probably either. So good guess, good guess. Alright. Next warning label. Should not be used for signing checks or any legal documents. Oh, David. Highlighter? Uh it's not a highlighter, no. Oh, okay. Adam, can you steal?

SPEAKER_00 10:54

I'm just gonna go with a sharpie.

SPEAKER_02 10:57

No, not a sharpie either. It's a vanishing ink marker.

unknown 11:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:03

Specifically, like a fabric vanishing ink marker is where the label is where the warning label is.

SPEAKER_03 11:07

Oh, so that's not invisible ink, that's something else.

SPEAKER_02 11:10

It's it's it's like ink that just it's not invisible at first, but then it disappears after a while.

SPEAKER_03 11:15

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_02 11:15

Okay. So you could sign a check and hand it to somebody, and they would think you signed it, and then it would disappear. But it's a good prank, I guess, sort of. Super funny prank, yeah. Catch me if you can. Haha, I don't have a mortgage anymore. Trick cute. Alright, next warning label. Bag is hot. Pick up bag from top. Oh, Adam got in first just barely. I'm gonna say popcorn. Popcorn, microwave popcorn. Yep, yep, very good.

SPEAKER_00 11:49

Let's go! Nice. Microwave popcorn.

SPEAKER_02 11:52

David, were you gonna say the same thing? I was gonna say popcorn, done. You buzzed in at almost the same time, but all right, next one. Not intended for dental use. Not intended for dental use. Anybody? Anyone?

SPEAKER_03 12:08

I have thoughts, but not enough to buzz in for.

SPEAKER_02 12:11

Well. Nope, nope. Alright, we're gonna say no one gets that one then.

SPEAKER_00 12:17

Oh, oh, Adam buzzed. Um kind of like cooking string for maybe like tying up meats or something, you know? I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 12:26

That's that's a good good thought. It's it's not correct, but it's a good idea, yeah. David, you want to take a guess?

SPEAKER_03 12:33

My only guess is some kind of tube that you might mistake for toothpaste. So I'm gonna say preparation H.

SPEAKER_02 12:41

Also a good guess. Also incorrect. Um, it's actually worse than what you guys are thinking. Uh, it was an electric drill, like a Dremel tool.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

How would we get that?

SPEAKER_02 12:54

You probably wouldn't, but no. That's wild. Why would anybody think that was for dental use? Is a better question.

SPEAKER_03 13:00

What is the oh, so it's a dentist using it as a dental drill because he didn't want to buy a real dental.

SPEAKER_02 13:07

Or somebody doing home home dentistry, I guess. Home dentistry. I don't know. I'm not going to that dentist. No, no. All right. Next warning label. Do not use for personal hygiene. Obviously, this one's a little vague, but it's alright. We'll see if you can come up with it.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

Oh, Adam. I'm gonna say beef tallow. Beef tallow. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:33

Um how would you use I don't even know how you would use that for personal hygiene, but okay.

SPEAKER_00 13:41

Actually, I actually have I actually know of people who do use it for personal hygiene.

SPEAKER_02 13:46

I suppose kind of like a soap, right? It'd be yeah, speak of like a soap. Yeah, like like skin. Okay. Yeah, yeah, I can see that. But I I could see them putting that on the label too. Sure, sure. That's that's a good point. Okay, yeah. It doesn't sound as crazy as it initially did, but all right, David, can you steal? I'm gonna go along the same lines and say Greek yogurt. Greek yogurt. Okay, interesting. Um, no, uh, it's a toilet brush. Oh. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 14:14

Yeah. Yep. That's wild. Wait, I'm not sure. Makes you worry about people, right? I mean, they obviously they don't use the same one for their toilet, but I've heard people buy toilet brushes to use in the shower to get their back as a back scratcher, right? Or like a loofah back loofah kind of thing, yeah. But I don't know why you shouldn't do that.

SPEAKER_02 14:32

Yeah. But I guess I don't know. It feels like they don't I don't I don't know, I've never tried. But it feels like a toilet brush is a little too stiff. I feel like you'd want something a little softer for buttons. Maybe maybe it rips your skin off or something. I don't know. Could be. Alright. Next warning label does not enable flight or super strength. David. This is a Superman cape costume. It is. It's a Superman costume. They don't want kids to think they can actually fly. Very good. Alright, we have one more. This is our last warning label. So warning, this is our last warning. Alright. Do not hold the wrong end. Could be a lot of things, of course, but where was this warning label actually found? David. I'm gonna go for drill again. It's not a drill. Good guess. Adam, you want to steal? I feel good about this. Uh it's uh, I think it's fireworks. Ooh, also a very good guess, but no, it's not correct. Um, it was a chainsaw, believe it or not.

SPEAKER_00 15:47

Yeah, you could mistake that chainsaw, that chain for a handle. Yep, yeah.

Listener Question

SPEAKER_02 15:54

All right, well, great job both of you, but especially good job to David, who is one step closer to making the final. And Adam, you will have to win the next game to force a tiebreaker and keep your hopes alive. Alright, now it's time for the answer to last week's listener question. As a reminder, last week's question was a little bit of a story, sort of a who-done it or maybe a how done it. Um, so we had a serial killer that had kidnapped five different people, sat them down in front of a table with two pills and a glass of water. He told each of them to take one pill, and he would take the other one, but every victim somehow died and the killer did not. And the question was, how did the killer ensure his survival? Well, I'm actually going to give you the answer and the winner at the same time because this week's winner went to quizzical.fm and clicked on the send a voicemail button to submit their answer in audio form. So you get to hear the answer from the winner themselves. Uh yes, this is Stefan.

SPEAKER_00 16:59

And I believe the water was poisoned, not the pills. Thank you.

Game 2 - Piano Man

SPEAKER_02 17:06

So there you go. As Stefan said, the pills were not poisoned. The choosing a pill and the killer would take the other one was irrelevant. The water was actually poisoned. So when the victim would use the water to swallow their pill, they were beginning poisoned, and then the killer obviously did not use the water to swallow his pill. So if you figured that out, well done. But congratulations to Stefan for being this week's people's champion. We will post it on all our socials, and Stefan can share it with his friends to prove that he is a champion. And now on to this week's listener question. Uh we've got another associations question. I mean, this is what I'm calling these, where you're trying to figure out how these four items are associated, or what they have in common, or perhaps what the connection is, if you're familiar with other types of puzzles. But the four items this week are a skeleton, a pet store, national treasure, and a zoo. Skeleton, pet store, national treasure, zoo. What do those four things have in common? If you think you know, send us a message to people at quizzical.fm, or do like Stefan did and go to quizzical.fm and click on the send a voicemail button and submit your answer in audio form. And you could be our next People's Champion. Alright, so for our second game today, you'll need your listening ears because this is a game called Piano Man. Are you guys fans of Billy Joel by chance?

SPEAKER_03 18:40

Yeah, not really. I don't know. Am I a fan if I only like Piano Man and like a couple other of his songs?

SPEAKER_00 18:45

I'm sad fall into that boat, also.

SPEAKER_02 18:48

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So you're aware of him at least. That's that's fine. You don't necessarily need to be a fan of Billy Joel. Um, it might help a little bit, but that's okay. Everyone knows the Billy Joel song about the piano man, of course. So in this category, I've rewritten the lyrics from other Billy Joel songs to be about words ending in man.

unknown 19:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 19:09

So your answer will be what I'm singing about, which is gonna be something ending in man. And if you get it right, you can name the original song by Billy Joel for a bonus point. Okay? So no need to buzz in, we'll take turns answering. Feel free to take your time. You can, you know, think out loud, talk through what you're thinking. But if you get it wrong, your opponent will get a chance to steal. And we'll take turns on this one, so we'll just go back and forth, so no buzzing. Alright, so clear enough. So I've I've I've basically I'm gonna I'm and I'm gonna apologize to Billy Joel uh up front for having you know butchered all of his songs. But oh, we're gonna hear you sing. Yes, this is me playing the piano and singing, and I've changed the words to be about something ending in man. So something like like Superman, like we had on the last game, right? Something that could be an answer. Superman's not gonna be one of the answers. I'll give to that. But that's uh it could be a potential answer. Something ending with man.

SPEAKER_03 20:05

Audience, get ready to yell at me as I don't know the most famous Billy gel songs.

SPEAKER_02 20:09

That's that's fine, that's the way it goes. So the first one is going to be for David. David, here is your song.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

I bet he's never had a crispy cream. That's how he builds his muscles to the extreme, like a machine.

SPEAKER_02 20:45

Alright, so David, do you know what I'm singing about there? Something that ends in man.

SPEAKER_03 20:51

I mean, my initial thought is muscle man, but you said muscles in the quote, so I don't know if you'd do that. I probably would not. Um is it I don't know if these are gonna be like specific men or like what's not not specific. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:06

I mean, it's not like a a specific person. It's uh it's something that ends in man. It's a word that ends in man, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 21:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

Um it seems like Atlas Stone is a clue, but some things might be clues, some things might be because they sort of rhymed.

SPEAKER_03 21:22

Because they sort of rhymed, yeah. Krispy Kreme is the clue, I'm sure.

SPEAKER_02 21:30

Herculean man. Herculean man? Oh, you're nope, I'm sorry, that's not quite right. Adam, can you steal?

SPEAKER_00 21:38

I don't I don't have any good ideas of what kind of man this is. Can I guess the song if I don't guess the man? Like I can't go for the both.

SPEAKER_02 21:52

It won't get you any points, but um you can do it just for uh, you know, to show off that you know the song.

SPEAKER_03 21:57

I know the song, however.

SPEAKER_02 21:59

David knows. The song. Does Adam know the song? You guys both think you know the song?

SPEAKER_00 22:05

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:06

Alright. You guys want to say it at the same time? Okay. Three, two, one. Uptown girl.

SPEAKER_00 22:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:12

Very good. Uptown girl. So no points for that, but good job. Kudos. You get a little bit of kudos, but the answer was strongman. Oh. Strongman, like a strongman competition. Gotcha. Okay. So the the Atlas Stone is actually the big round stone that they lift and carry as part of the strongman competition.

SPEAKER_04 22:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 22:33

So you were right, Atlas Stone was a clue. Okay. All right. The next one is for Adam.

SPEAKER_01 22:49

Without faith in a higher power, we never would have come this fast. We're trusting God's will to guide us onward. We just keep all the wing that star.

SPEAKER_02 23:26

Alright, do you know what the thing ending in man is that I'm singing about?

SPEAKER_00 23:30

Um I think the answer is the three men who delivered gifts to Jesus when he was born. That's my guess of who.

SPEAKER_02 23:44

I want to say So what is the thing the what's the word ending in man though? I think it's uh I want to say the wise man. Is that right? Wise man, there you go. Wise man is correct. Very good. Now, can you get the bonus point by naming the song, the original song by Billy Joel that I butchered?

SPEAKER_00 24:06

Um I was pretty focused on the first portion of this puzzle. Um, yep. That's alright. I don't think I could make a good guess. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

Alright. David, you don't get a point for it, but do you know what the song was by chance? I don't think I've heard it before. Or if I heard it before it was just the way you are.

SPEAKER_00 24:27

I feel good because I don't know that one. That's okay. I didn't miss something I might have known.

SPEAKER_02 24:33

Alright, David, the next one's for you. What man am I singing about here?

SPEAKER_01 24:41

Well, you pick up the can and then you dump it in back. Pray that there's not a big hole in the sack. The refuse keeps piling up every day, but make a decent income. Where did that smell come from? That's what I said. Where did that smell come from? Where did that smell come from?

SPEAKER_02 25:13

Alright. What am I singing about? A garbage man. A garbage man, very good. Now the the other question is do you know the original Billy Joel song? I do not. Okay. Adam, for no points, but for you know Street Cred. Do you know the only the good die young? Only the good die young, very good. I did warn everyone ahead of time. That's why it's just bonus points. You don't necessarily have to know them, but Adam, the next one's for you. Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 25:53

Albert Pooh's Jim Tome, Jeff Bagwa, Maha Grace, Keith Hernandez, also but not Joe Dimaggio. Frank Thomas, Joey Vato, Matting Lee Cash Lee and Rizzo. Most are left is like Luke Garrett, but you never know. I didn't pull my foot off. The ball was in my glove. You better check the replay. He didn't beat the throw here. I think you got the call wrong, so I'll try to fight it.

SPEAKER_02 26:21

Alright, Adam. What am I singing about? Um my goodness. Do you have any any ideas, any inclinations, some way you're leaning? Not truly.

SPEAKER_00 26:36

No. I know the song, which hurts. Like the replay ball. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. This is like a football, this is like a football athlete, right?

SPEAKER_02 26:53

It's something ending in man. That's all I'm gonna say. Um you gotta guess?

SPEAKER_00 26:59

Did he play for the Patriots? Take it away from me. Take it away. I can't. I'm not gonna get it.

SPEAKER_02 27:08

Alright. David, can you steal? A baseman? A baseman. Ooh, now I'm gonna ask you to be more specific. I have to say which base? Uh because it's very specifically a certain type of baseman, but you're you're you're you're almost there. I have a one in three. Um this is where there's lots of people listening that are like, how do you not know? Most are lefties. Most are lefties.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

Third baseman.

SPEAKER_02 27:41

Unfortunately, that's probably the one that you're least likely to be left-handed. First base. It's first baseman. First baseman. And you guys probably both knew the song. Do you know the original song?

SPEAKER_03 27:52

We didn't start the fire.

SPEAKER_02 27:53

Yeah. We didn't start the fire. Very good.

SPEAKER_03 27:56

Why f why do you need to be a lefty to be a first baseman? Because on your left is the outfit.

SPEAKER_02 28:01

Because because then you're because you catch with your right hand.

SPEAKER_03 28:05

Oh. Okay. I didn't know.

SPEAKER_02 28:06

And so then your left foot is on the base and you're reaching with your right hand to catch. If you're right handed, you're catching with your left handed, so then your back is to the infield more when you're catching.

SPEAKER_03 28:18

I didn't even know you caught with your offhand.

SPEAKER_02 28:20

Yeah, yeah, because you because you have to throw, you throw with your dominant hand. And so your glove is on the other hand. So you catch with the off and so that's why third base, you actually, like if you're left-handed, if you think about if if you haven't played baseball, maybe it's less obvious. But because first base is to your left, you have to turn your right side towards first base before you throw. So you're you're twisted around the wrong way. So right-handed person steps with their left foot.

SPEAKER_03 28:53

I used the correct logic, but wrongly because I I thought you caught with your dominant hand.

unknown 28:58

Right.

SPEAKER_02 29:03

Yep, yep. Yep. Good good. So good thinking, but ultimately bad thinking. My logic failed me. That's all right. All right. On to the next one. This one's for David.

SPEAKER_01 29:27

If you said you had been treated wrong by the administration of the town, a public advocate, I will take care of it. I represent the public all the time. Protecting your rights.

SPEAKER_02 30:02

Alright, what is the the man word that I'm singing about there? I want to say lawman. You want to say lawman. Unfortunately, that's not correct. Adam, can you steal?

SPEAKER_00 30:16

Statesman.

SPEAKER_02 30:18

Statesman, good guess, but no, that's not correct either. It was an ombudsman. It's the name of the person that represents the public. Um yeah, it's an ombudsman. It's a little bit of an obscure term, but do you guys know the song?

SPEAKER_00 30:33

I do, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 30:34

By chance? Yeah. What's the song? Is it called longest time? The longest time. Very good. Yep. See, you said you didn't know Billy Joel songs, but you've known several. I haven't known like half of them. But that means you have known half of them.

SPEAKER_03 30:49

I said I knew the most famous ones and not any of the others in your own.

SPEAKER_02 30:52

Oh, okay, okay. Alright, Adam. The next one's for you. If you get this one right, you can uh force a tiebreaker round. If you miss it, David could steal it and um take the game. So here we go. This one's for Adam.

SPEAKER_01 31:17

Hiding in my room underneath the bed. I'm sure you're there, not just in my head. Mamma says that you are not even real. She said Sonny, it's just an illusion. Scarin' poor kids can give my heart attack a kick a kick a cue. I dunno by now.

SPEAKER_02 31:40

Alright. What is the word that ends in man that I'm singing about there? I don't know, I can't think of any.

SPEAKER_00 31:51

Words to go in front of that. I don't know. How long do I get?

SPEAKER_02 31:57

Um a little bit of time, but not too much. I don't. I don't even have a guess. You don't. Alright, David. This is for the game if you can get this.

SPEAKER_03 32:12

I mean, it it seems like it's some sort of horror film thing, or at least like horror adjacent um thing. And I have one in my head, but I don't want to say it yet in case it's wrong. And I feel like the big clue is the heart attack line. Like, is there some kind of horror film where the scary thing gives kids heart attacks? And if so, then I'm wrong, probably. So that said, I don't really I can't think of any like famous horror what do you call them, uh villains that end in man. Um I'm gonna go with my initial thought that's probably wrong, which is Slender Man.

SPEAKER_02 33:00

Ooh. No. Good good thinking. It's it's less specific than that. It's the boogeyman. Oh, the boogeyman. Oh, of course. Boogeyman. Yes, yes. And by the way, the heart attack line is partly the reason partly the reason I said could give him a heart attack is because Boogeyman scares people. But the original song has the line, working too hard can give you a heart attack, eck eck eck eck eck. So I just reused that line from the original song. But do you guys know the original song by Billy Joel by chance?

SPEAKER_03 33:30

I know the melody, but I'm not sure if I know the song name.

Outro

SPEAKER_02 33:34

Adam Jones. So this one's called Anthony's Song, subtitle Movin' Out, which is a little of a weird name. So, alright, well, which that means that we have a tie. So um, the tiebreaker for this game, I'm gonna give you a clue. The answer is still something ending in man, all right? Uh, this one's not gonna have a song. We're gonna buzz in. Person that oversees a team of workers. David. A foreman. Foreman is correct. Very good. Alright. And after two games, David is moving on to the final round at the end of the month. Congratulations to David and thank you to Adam for playing as well. So join us next week as two more competitors match wits for a chance at being crowned quizzical champion. But before we go, the answer to the question I asked at the beginning: why has no one ever celebrated a birthday for Pluto? Do you guys have any guesses? It's not for points, it's just for fun.

SPEAKER_03 34:43

My guess is related to Pluto's um orbital period. It just takes too long to get around the sun.

SPEAKER_02 34:50

That's what I was thinking. Yep, that's right. So Pluto's orbit takes about 248 Earth years, and it was discovered in 1930. So its first full orbit since discovery won't be until Monday, March 23rd, in the year 2178. So now you know, humans haven't known Pluto existed for even half a year in Pluto time. A small but mighty fact you can deploy your next awkward silence, kinda like Pluto, is small but mighty. Remember, in the arena of answers, curiosity wears the crown. I'm Scott, and this has been Wiz It Call. We have a little bit of a PS to today's episode, or as Paul Harvey would say, here is the rest of the story. Since recording this episode, I actually heard from Adam, who has now completed his goal of eating five dozen eggs in one day. That's 60 eggs in one day, which is pretty insane. So I'll leave a link to some pictures in the show notes if you want to see Adam eating his eggs.
