• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Name them now. No one's kidding. You don't have to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: do that. He wants you to name the first thirteen

• 10:37
  Speaker 1: species does the viceroy species imitate? The monarch? Butterfly makes

  Speaker 1: sense because viceroy is an official that rules as the

  Speaker 1: representative of the monarch.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I read a little bit about these animals
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: who mimic the looks of other animals. I think that
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: monarch butterfly flies taste bad to predators. Vice ros are
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: just like I am delicious, but I look like I
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: taste bad, so you won't eat me.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I was seeing that they're either of the same
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: kind that tastes bad, or they're the other kind that
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: taste tasty but look bad. Yeah. I think they're on
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: the taste bad side. Weren't they?
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Oh okay, so maybe they also taste bad.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: But that's part of the evolution of some of these species.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: And why some species may make other species because they're like, oh,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: you're left alone by predators because you look this way.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I'll do that too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Very interesting. Question eleven. Premiere crews a French term used
• 11:44

• 13:06
  Speaker 2: The entire cast of a film with what specific designation
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: includes Annie Hartley, Adolf le Prince, Joseph Whitley, and Sarah Whitley.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: And now the answer is to round four. Question thirteen,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: What is the name given to the fast drying paint
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: medium involving egg yolks? Egg tempera? Question fourteen? The name
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: of which Indian currency is from the Sanskrit for coined
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: silver or rot silver rupee. Question fifteen. The process by
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: which an atom or a molecule acquires a negative or

• 14:24
  Speaker 2: if you didn't get this, that's okay. It's a great
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: trivia question. It's a great one to learn because what
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: this is is it's a three second clip and it's
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: officially recognized as the oldest surviving motion picture in film history.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: So that's why it's significant and worth knowing. And then,
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: unrelated to how great major Data's question is, I guess
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: there is some mystery and tragedy surrounding this little clip
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: for a curse. Yeah, there might be a curse because
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: shortly after the film was shot, Sarah Whitley died just
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: ten days later, and then Louis le Prince mysteriously vanished
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: from a train in eighteen ninety never to be found,
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: and both Adolf and Annie died in their twenties. So
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: this is all from October of eighteen eighty eight.
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: Bomb Bomb.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: So maybe don't watch the clip.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: No, just don't be in it. Yeah, you're ever very safe.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: You've got a time machine. I am Sarah Whitley. Oh hi, Sarah, Hi, No, goodbye.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I have to go to eighteen eighty eight.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: To take a spin around a garden for three seconds.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: That's it for the regular rounds that means it's time
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: for the Big Bang Round. The category for this week's
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: Big Bang is Literature. We'll give you three questions, the
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: answers of which are all clues to the final question.
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: Keep in mind the three clue questions may not be

• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the Bat, what does mister Burns repeatedly tell Don maddingly

• 17:13

• 17:19
  Speaker 1: And now the answers to the Big Bang Round? Question one.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: The creators of ice Age released What two thousand and
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: five animated movie with voices provided by Ewan McGregor, halle Berry, Melbrooks,

• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Question two, According to Lareel, after you do your skincare routine,
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: put on your primer and color correction if needed. What

  Speaker 2: And You're a big Bang? Question? Who is the only
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: author in history to have works published in nine different
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: Dewey Decimal system categories? The author known for his sideburns
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: who wrote Foundation and I Robot, it's Isaac Asimof.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Apparently the only one he didn't publish a book in
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: was the one hundred's Philosophy.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so the Dewey decimal system, like the O's, are generalities.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: Two hundred's religion, three hundred social sciences, four hundreds languages,
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: five hundred pure sciences, six hundred applied sciences and technology,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: seven hundred arts, eight hundred literature, and nine hundred history
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: and geography. So he wrote over five hundred books and
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: I I guess he wrote about a lot of different categories.
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Pretty amazing. And apparently he himself said, I have been
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: told by a librarian that and then that he's been
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: published in all those different dodecimal categories except for philosophy,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: which I think you could argue he could be if
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: he wanted to, because a lot of those like I
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: Robot is philosophical foundation I think is pretty philosophical too.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he should have written a book called the Philosophy
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: behind I Robot, and then ten for.
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: The Foundation of Robots.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was kind of a fun question.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, super interesting. He was like the sci fi Bernie
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: Sanders back in the day. He listened to interviews with him.
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: We have a comment from listener Jesse. Hello Jesse, ooh Jesse,
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: and Jesse said, listen to the latest episode. I do
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: enjoy the show. But not to be pedantic. Technically, people
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: who say it's summer in the beginning of June aren't
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: completely wrong, just not completely in their description. June first
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: is the start of meteorological summer, as it is defined
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: as June, July and August. Astronomical summer starts June twenty first,
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: so there are two definitions of summer. So the next
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: time someone tells you it is in summer on June fourth,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: tell them I clearly meant meteorological summer.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, society's fallen apart. We can have two
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: different definitions for you.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Yes, we got and we do.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Thank you, Jesse. This is the beginning of the end, everybody.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, don't worry about AI. Don't worry about the climate
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: change or global politics. Worry about the summer. And just
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: to circle back to the question about tuberculosis. The book
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Everything Is Tuberculosis is a very interesting read. It's by
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: John Green, who also wrote The Fault in Our Stars,
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: and he kind of has become fixated on tuberculosis and
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: why it still exists, and it's very insightful, slightly depressing.
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: What he says is that there was a gentleman who
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: got tuberculosis, and back in the day, they would encourage
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: patients to go west, you know, drier air because you know,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: it's a wet disease, is how they thought of it.
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: So he went west. And at that time, cowboy hats
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: didn't exist. They just had either straw hats that didn't
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: work great in the rain in other weather, or they
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: had like fur caps that also weren't great. Like they
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: just didn't have a good hat for the west. And
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: he was one of the lucky ones who survived went
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: back east when he was done and invented the Cowboy
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: hat made a lot of money and donated a lot
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: of money to a lot of good causes. So Cowboy
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: hat Man is great for the assassins of World War One,
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I guess the attempted assassination and the actual assassination. They
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: both had tuberculosis, and so that's why they were They
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: kind of wanted to die for a cause, and so
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: that's how they were kind of recruited to do that.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: And the third one being the state of New Mexico,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: is that New Mexico was trying to become a state,
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: and Washington was like, your population is a lot of
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Mexicans and Native Americans and you're not white enough. I mean,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: they didn't say it straight out like that, but you know,
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: well maybe they did. History is a tear thing, and
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: the people who were running the government in New Mexico
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: at the time understood what was happening. So they started
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: being like, come move to New Mexico, nice dry air,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: and they did. They had a very successful campaign to
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: get people with tuberculosis to move to New Mexico and
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: increase the white population enough for Washington to allow it
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: to become a state. So that's how those three very
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: different events all link back to tuberculosis.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Pretty wild.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would recommend it as a read if you're
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: not just looking for escapism, which if that's what you're looking.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: For, Dungeon Carla carl ah so great.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Thanks for letting me talk about that. That's why we
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: put it at the end because I was like, this
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: is way too much info too between questions. But we
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: hope all of you are doing well. Go next. Thanks
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: thanks for writing in Jesse. Don't forget to message us
• 24:03
