Hello and welcome to Quiz Quiz Bang Bang! The pub quiz practice show that hits your

pal! Right in the quiz error, I'm David Flora.

You know, I'm Annie Flora and we're here to teach you more about trivia than Magic

The Gathering has sets coming out this year! There's so much! Every other month! Magic!

People are like, guys, are you talking off a lot about magic these days? That's right! You know

what's great about magic? Hiding in your house.

Annie, we've got some announcements and don't skip this everybody. There's an important one

here we'd like to let you know. So we just found out that for the past month since about

the beginning of February, we haven't been getting emails from the website. So if you've

sent in an email, listener question, anything from the contact page on the website, it hasn't

gotten to us and we just had that fixed just a couple days ago. So please, if you've

sent anything since February began, rescind it, and sorry for the inconvenience, but we

should be back up and running as normal now. Yes, please resubmit any questions or anything

else. Comments about how great we are. Because we love listener comments. Yes, positive ones.

Yeah, if you said to some hate mail, you don't have to. Why are you still listening? If

you hate something, just move on. It's okay. People that don't hate something and are

sticking around are the kind folks that sent us a coffee this week, Casey and John.

Peep-peep-peew! Thank you, Casey. Thank you, John. Peep-peew. We appreciate that support

and a new patron this week, Annie Kevin. Peep-peew! Thank you, Kevin.

My favorite holiday. Super cash. If you need to link, let us know. Now you can through

the contact sheet. And otherwise, let's get into this trivia. Here's how the show works.

Quiz Quizbang Bangs Format is four rounds of four questions each followed by the answers.

Round two will ask a quick fire bang bang question where you'll have a time limit to give

multiple answers. After the fourth round, the show culminates with the big bang. A final

round with three questions whose answers are all clues to one final question.

Round one question one, the category is film. What is the name of the Princess Bride in

the Princess Bride? Question two, category geography. Which is the second largest of the

Channel Islands? Question three, category science. This one comes from listener Bobby. They

give Bobby. Thank you, Bobby. What unit is used to measure the flow of electric current

in a circuit? Question four, category television. In South Park, Cartman tricks butters into

going missing to get an invitation to Kyle's birthday party at what real life Mexican-themed

restaurant the South Park creators now own. And now the answers to round one, question

one, what is the name of the Princess Bride in the Princess Bride? Buttercup.

One of the best movies ever. Based on a novel. Written by the screenwriter. Great cast.

Question two, what is the second largest of the Channel Islands?

Guernsey. The Channel Islands are divided into two crowned dependencies. You have the Bayley

Wick of Jersey, which is the largest of the islands. And the Bayley Wick of Guernsey, consisting

of Guernsey, Alderny, Sark, Herm, and some smaller islands. Question three, what unit is used to

measure the flow of electric current in a circuit? Ampere or amp? Measure it in amps.

Question four, in South Park, Cartman tricks butters into going missing to get an invitation

to what Mexican-themed restaurant? Casa Bonita. It's fantastic.

We've been a couple times actually. And it is a good time.

Round two, question five, the category is sports. Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield,

a professional boxing match that happened in June of 1997 shares its name with which William Faulkner novel.

Question six, the category is animals. Carl von Frisch was one of the first to decode the

meaning of the waggle dance performed by which animals. Question seven, the category is landmarks.

This question comes from listener Sarah. Thank you, Sarah. How many windows are in the crown of

the statue of Liberty? Question eight, the category is video games. The Nokia 6110 included which game on it.

And now the answers to round two, question five. Mike Tyson versus Evander Holyfield was a match

that happened in June of 1997 and shared its name with which William Faulkner novel.

The sound and the fury, although after the fight, it was known as the bite fight.

Question six, Carl von Frisch was one of the first to decode the meaning of the waggle dance performed

by which animals. Bees, it's a sophisticated figure eight behavior used by honey bees to

communicate the location of food or new nesting sites to hive mates. And Carl won a Nobel prize for

his work. And there's also cute pictures of him wearing later hoses and studying bees. He was

Austrian, I think. Question seven, how many windows are in the crown of the statue of Liberty?

Twenty five. Question eight, the Nokia 6110 included which game on it?

Snake. And it was installed in, I think, even up until the state, it's in every Nokia phone

still. And so in 2016, which was 10 years ago, there was over 400 million devices with that game

installed. I'm a snake. That's it for the first half. That means it's time for the bang bang round.

The category for this week's bang bang round is games and hobbies.

You'll have 30 seconds to give as many answers as you can to the following question.

Topical with how this episode started any? In the tabletop card game Magic the Gathering,

there are six types of mana. Name the colors and the land types they're associated with. Your time

starts now.

And that's time. The six types of mana their colors and land types are white planes,

blue island, black swamp, red mountain, green forest, and colorless wastes, or no land type.

And it can look up how Pokemon works next week. That's true.

Round three, question nine, the category is literature.

The Paris apartment and the guest list are both novels by which author who has been tapped

to write murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel the first new Miss Marple novel in 50 years.

Question 10, category mythology. In Greek mythology, who had a lesser known twin brother named

Ifficles. Question 11, category celebrities and culture. This one comes to us from listener

Nolan. Thank you Nolan. Thank you Nolan. If Matthew Perry needed handmade candles for his

Philip Marlow themed murder mystery party, what type of craftsman would he call?

Question 12, category fashion. Vivienne Westwood is credited with bringing what kind of fashion

into the mainstream, which she described as, quote, a way of seeing if one could put a spoke in the

system. End quote. And now the answer is to round three, question nine, the Paris apartment

and the guest list are both novels by which author? Lucy Foley. I think she's going to do a good job.

Is she a Foley artist? Question 10, in Greek mythology, who had a lesser known twin brother named Ifficles.

Hercules or Heracles. Question 11, if Matthew Perry needed handmade candles for his

Philip Marlow themed murder mystery party, what type of craftsman would he call? He'd call a

Chandler. The hint there being Chandler Bing from friends and Raymond Chandler for Philip Marlow

the creature of. And Chandler being a candle maker. Yes.

Question 12, Vivienne Westwood is credited with bringing what kind of fashion into the mainstream?

Punk. Annie, how would you describe punk fashion?

Incorrectly. No, your limits. That's what I always say.

Round four, question 13, the category is space. Which planet is the coldest in the solar system?

Question 14, the category is food and drink. This question comes from major,

de-da, thank you major, de-da, thank you major. Out of the 36 spices recognized by the FDA,

which are alphabetically first and last?

Question 15, the category is anatomy. The fastest moving muscle in the human body is

located where. Question 16, the category is pop culture. Which actor is facing backlash after

saying, I don't want to be working in ballet or opera or you know things where it's like, hey,

keep this thing alive even though no one cares about this anymore.

And now the answers to round four, question 13, which planet is the coldest in the solar system?

It's Uranus. Neptune is further away, you might think, the further away from the Sun?

The colder it is, but Uranus is colder because it lacks significant internal heat and has a

unique extreme axial tilt causing it to roll on its side. And everyone knows that the more you roll

on your side, the colder you are. The category is home made ice cream.

Question 14, out of the 36 spices recognized by the FDA, which are alphabetically first and last?

All spice, first, and vanilla bean. Question 15, the fastest moving muscle in the human body is located

where? Or bicularis aculi? Sounds like a Harry Potter spell. Which is in the human eye, it closes

the eyelid. So when stuff comes and you close your eyelid super fast, that's why.

Question 16, which actor's facing backlash for insulting both ballet and opera?

Timothy Shallabe. Hey, Timothy, Timbo, little Timmy, shut up.

That's it for the regular rounds. That means it's time for the Big Bang Round.

The category for this week's Big Bang Round is geography and society and culture.

This one comes to us from major data. Thank you, major.

Yeah, he said this is slightly different question and we decided to turn it into Big Bang

questions. Thank you. We'll ask you three questions, the answers of which are all clues to

the final question. Keep in mind the three clue questions may not be from the same category as the

final one. Question one, which successful British musical duo released the Edge of Heaven

in 1986 before they disbanded. Question two,

Joy, have you ever been in a in a Turkish prison? And I haven't felt this awful since we saw

that Ronald Reagan film. Are both quotes from what film that is considered one of the greatest

comedies of all time? Question three, what was the first musical written by the duo of Rogers

and Hammerstein? And your Big Bang question again the category's geography, society, and culture.

In 1986, what did the town of Hamilton, Ohio add to its name?

And now the answers to the Big Bang Round question one, which successful British musical duo

released the Edge of Heaven in 1986 before they disbanded?

Question two, Joy, have you ever been in a in a Turkish prison? And I haven't felt this awful

since we saw that Ronald Reagan film. Are both quotes from what film? Airplane. Joy, do you like

Gladiator films? Question three, what was the first musical written by the duo of Rogers

and Hammerstein? Oh, Glahoma. And finally in 1986, what did the town of Hamilton, Ohio add to its name?

The same thing that WAM, Airplane, and Oklahoma have in their names, an exclamation point.

So as part of a plan, this is what the wiki says about this, as part of a plan to increase

publicity about Hamilton and boost its revitalization, the city council voted in favor of adding an

exclamation point to the city's name, similar to the popular musical, Oklahoma. While at the time,

extensively used in the city's documents, letterheads, business cards, and local signage,

the US board on geographic names did not include the exclamation point nor did Rand McNally maps.

The exclamation point is generally no longer used and it is not in use on the Hamilton Municipal

website, quite the oversight there. Yeah, come on, Hamilton. Get with it. You have this wonderful

thing going for you and you just let it fade away because some map makers are not fun. I mean,

if I lived in a place with an exclamation point, you'd be putting that everywhere. So fun.

I'm sure everybody thinks it's not cool, but you know what? If not adding an exclamation point

to things makes you cool, then consider me the opposite of Miles Davis. Yep. Hamilton, Ohio,

like it just seems like that's the best thing you got going for you is that exclamation point.

I mean, that's how they're really Hamilton. And it differentiates you from the musical.

You can't compete with the musical. So get that exclamation point back. Nobody from Hamilton

listens to our podcast. I don't know why. And you can't see things like that. Oh, that's true.

I don't know. You can't see things like that. I learned that on blurry photos a long time ago.

If you're from Hamilton and you're listening to this podcast, please write to your mayor.

Right to us, but I'll also you got you have to add an exclamation to everything.

And then right to your mayor, your local town council, and say put this back, please.

Yeah, do that exclamation point. Yeah, please exclamation point doesn't usually work,

because it sounds like you're yelling. Well, put this back, please. That's effective communication.

That's right. You know what else is effective? Zoom trivia. Oh, okay, good.

I didn't know where we were going with that because there's so many things that aren't these days.

Yeah, if you're free this Saturday, the 14th, noon mountain time,

hides of March Eve, come on down to trivia town where you might get stabbed in the back by

brood is not us. I guess I'm still threatening stepping. So yeah, let's work on the let's let's

let's let's add a the Hamilton way of marketing to this and he not not the any way of work.

Let's let's add exclamation points, not points of daggers.

Oh, come to trivia. Yeah, there you go.

Also, I like I hope that hides of Marching is is catching on like a list is for the crystal maze.

Automatic lock-in situation. Thank you for listening if indeed you still are.

For this episode of quiz quiz bang bang, I've been David Flora. I've been Annie Flora.

Here's looking at you quiz.

What are unrecognized spices? Melange?

They crap on the shelf there.

Annie's proprietary blint.

Access to affordable credit helps me pay my employees that I don't really need it.

Infliction is killing me. But who cares? Big retailers are making record profits.

That's why we support the Durban Marshall credit card bill.

See, things in credit unions help small businesses make payroll.

This bill would cut the vital resources they need while increasing Megastore profits.

Deserve it. Don't they?

Tell Congress stop the Durban Marshall money grab for corporate megastores paid for by the

electronic payments coalition.
