Hello, and welcome to Quiz Quiz Bang Bang, the pub quiz practice show

I'm Anny Flora, and we're here to teach you more about trivia than there
0:27
are fights and Iron Flame. Ho. I just finished Iron Flame, the
0:32
sequel to Fourth Wing. It's not as good Fourth Wing was, Okay,
0:37
iron Flame was not. It's a book. It's a book. It's for
0:43
young adults, so maybe I'm not the target audience. Well, we have
0:47
a whole trough of trivia for you to stick your piggy little noses in.
0:55
Sorry that we've been mia for a bit. We did a show run with
1:00
the Firebird Theater. We did a murder mystery that I wrote yay, and
1:06
he wrote it. I directed it and took a lot of work to put
1:08
together. But the runs over great success. It was completely sold out.
1:14
Everybody had a lot of fun. And now we're ready to get back into
1:18
a little trivia game because summer is going to be a little bit less intense,
1:23
even though we're doing Macbeth. I know I don't want to jinx us,
1:26
but I think we might even return to a point where I can do
1:30
social media. I know, I know, big claims over here. Well,
1:38
we appreciate all of you, Thank you for everything. And this is
1:44
how the show works. Witz Quiz Bang Bang's format is four rounds of four
1:49
questions, each followed by the answers. After round two, we'll ask a
1:53
quick fire bang Bang question where you'll have a time limit to give multiple answers.
1:57
After the fourth round, the show call dominates with the Big Bang,
2:00
a final round with three questions, whose answers are all clues to one final
2:06
question. Round one. Question one, the category is medicine. A normal
2:14
adult body mass index BMI range is eight point five to twenty four point nine,
2:23
while a classification of quote unquote obese is over thirty bmi. What is
2:29
the term for a BMI between twenty five and thirty? Question two? The
2:37
category is film and literature. This question comes from Major Data, or we
2:43
might have to give him a new name because he's been promoted. Congratulations,
2:47
Major are no longer Major Data. Congratulations and thanks for the question. What
2:54
eighteen eighty six novella was the film The Nutty Professor? Based on question three,
3:06
the category is music. Achieving the feat at thirteen years in eighty nine
3:13

3:51
between twenty five and thirty overweight? Question two? What eighteen eighty six novella
4:00
was the film The Nutty Professor based on strange case of Doctor Jekyl and mister
4:09
Hyde. I don't know if I've actually ever seen The Nutty Professor. Now
4:14
I Getty Murphy, though, so maybe I should. Question three, who
4:19
is the youngest solo artist atop the Billboard Hot one hundred? Stevie Wonder Pretty
4:29
cool? I know I always forget that, I cause I think we associate
4:33
him with his later career, because that's when we became aware of him.
4:38
I always forget that he was like this child star. Yeah. I don't
4:42
know. I think he's just one of those effervescent talents. Yeah, he's
4:46
super gifted. Oh amazing? Question four? What is the term for a
4:53
pouch that functions traditionally as a kilt pocket in Scottish Highland dress spo Those are
5:01
those little tassely things that hang down in front of the kilt, usually made
5:08
with some kind of fur. Well as a woman who likes dresses with pockets,
5:14
like all women do, you're killed having a pocket is probably also MOOI
5:19
convenience. It's no utila kiled round two. Question five the category is US
5:28
Presidents. Which president to establish the Presidential Medal of Freedom, superseding the Medal
5:33
of Freedom that was initially established by President Harry S. Truman. Question six
5:44
category is tasty flicks. This one comes to us from listener Ben, Thank
5:47
you Ben, Thank you Ben. Tasty flick is a combination of a food
5:54
item and a movie. For example, if I were to say this delicatessen
6:00
sandwich staple dreams of vengeance while racing in a chariot, the answer would be
6:08
rubin her so before and after anyway, here we go, bins is better.
6:18
This dish, surprisingly not named after a Roman emperor, might be found
6:23
in the Cave of Wonders and take you on a magic carpet ride. Question
6:30
seven. The category is animals. Which Australian kingfisher bird species has a name
6:36

7:09
president established the Presidential Medal of Freedom superseding the Medal of Freedom that was initially
7:15
established by Truman? John F. Kennedy, can you get a medal of
7:26
freedom that's not a Presidential Medal of Freedom anymore? I don't think. I
7:29
think it replaced it. Yeah, I could be wrong, but that's what
7:31
I was thinking, especially when it supersedes it. But now you could probably
7:36
get like a mega presidential medal. I'm just gonna say, if I became
7:43
president, I would just add the word president in front of everything that already
7:46
exists, so that everything's credited to me. Question six. This dish,
7:54
surprisingly not named after a Roman emperor, might be found in the Cave of
7:58
Wonders and take you on a Mat Jake carpet ride. It's Caesar salad and
8:07
perfection. Question seven, Which Australian king fisher bird species has a name derived

8:48
from listener Nolan. Thank you Nolan. You'll have thirty seconds to answer the
8:54
following question. There are eight professional men's sports teams of the Big four MLB,

10:50
The category is geography. Which country, which had a name change in twenty
10:56
eighteen has an absolute monarchy govern the last of its kind in Africa? Question
11:07
eleven. The category is science. This question comes from listener Dean Thank.
11:11
It et resistant, corrosion and highly reflective. What precious metal used to make
11:18
catalytic converters is one of the most valuable precious metals in the world. Obscure
11:26
hint for Marvel fans, it sounds like you could make it into a war
11:31
machine. Question twelve. The category is religion. What title, which gained
11:41
widespread notoriety around nineteen seventy nine, denotes a religious leader among sheey to Muslims
11:48

an emom. And now the answer is to round three. Question nine,
12:01
Which North American based fast food chain's largest product was known as the Bigfoot pizza
12:09
hut. It was twelve by twenty four inches. Dominoes had the Dominator,
12:18
which was a yard long and lost the money and couldn't fit into vehicles like
12:26
design flo or something that gets delivered. Little Caesars I think had one too.
12:33
It was about the size of the Bigfoot, could have been a little
12:37
bit bigger, but yeah, Dominos really tried to go for it, and
12:41
apparently they just couldn't get it into the delivery cars. And it's probably with
12:48
the box and everything. It gets, you know, over three feet and
12:52
hard to dig in those tiny little neogos that people drove around to. Question
13:00
ten, Which country which had a name changed in twenty eighteen has an absolute
13:05
monarchy government, the last of its kind in Africa? Swatini. So he
13:13
used to be Swaziland, the changed it to Swatini. Question eleven. Resistant
13:20
corrosion highly reflective. What precious metal used to make catalytic converters is one of
13:26
the most valuable precious metals in the world. Rodium, which I guess also
13:33
makes the war machine. That's ay, Colonel Rhoads and he calls him Rody.
13:39
Oh, Tony Starr calls him Roddy, and Colonel Rhoads becomes war machine,
13:45
and so Rody becomes a swarm machine. Anywhere. That's great. I
13:50
just threw that hint in there has a little help, especially for the new
13:54
words. We always want to help nerds. Question twelve. What title denotes
14:03
a religious leader among Shiite muslims ayatola? Round four? Question thirteen. The
14:13

15:16
four Question thirteen, which twenty twenty three cross platform game became the first one
15:22
to win Game of the Year awards at all five major award ceremonies. Balder'sgate
15:30
three. Question fourteen. Much of what we know about his thoughts and theories
15:37
of art come from published letters between which painter and his art dealer brother,
15:41
THEO Vincent van gol Van Goale. YEA, his brother was really supportive of
15:50
him, right, I think he was. Yeah, and apparently kept all
15:54
of his letters that he received, but Vincent hardly kept any artists. Question
16:04
fifteen, who directed Spartacus Stanley Kubrick? Oh, I don't think I knew
16:11
that. I don't think I did either, That's why it's in here.
16:18
Question sixteen. Which sport was played for the first time at the Olympics during
16:22
the nineteen twenty Summer Olympics, with Canada taking home the gold. Obviously it's
16:33
ice hockey. Oh, yeah, that makes sense. That makes a lot
16:36
of sense. It switched over to Winter Olympics, I think in the next
16:40
one or no, why would they have it with the summer. It was
16:44
either the next win or the nineteen twenty six Winter Olympics. I'm not one
16:49
of the two. The twenty four or twenty six. I'm trying to remember
16:53
off the top of my head. That's it for the regular rounds, which
16:56
means it's time for the Big Bang Round. The category for this week's Big
