- 2:39Speaker 1: And we did have a concerned listener let us know
- 2:43Speaker 1: about an ad that played before the show was for
- 2:46Speaker 1: poly Market, and we're going to look into that. We
- 2:49Speaker 1: don't have any control over the ads they play before
- 2:53Speaker 1: the show, but we're going to see if we can
- 2:55Speaker 1: get control and have ads that were more are.
- 3:01Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't support that stuff, and mostly any of
- 3:05Speaker 3: the ads that you hear are whatever the platform puts
- 3:09Speaker 3: out there, and we'll see if we can ask them
- 3:13Speaker 3: not to play stuff like that because we don't support that.
- 3:16Speaker 3: That's not our whatever they play in the ads isn't
- 3:19Speaker 3: supported by our views necessarily.
- 3:21Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see if we can get a little
- 3:23Speaker 1: more control there and have it reflect us a little better. So,
- 3:27Speaker 1: with all that being said, here's how the show works.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Whiz Quiz, Bang Bang's format is four rounds of four questions,
- 3:35Speaker 3: each followed by the answers. After round two, we'll ask
- 3:38Speaker 3: a quick fire bang bang question where you'll have a
- 3:41Speaker 3: time limit to give multiple answers. After the fourth round,
- 3:44Speaker 3: the show culminates with the big Bang, a final round
- 3:47Speaker 3: with three questions, whose answers are all clues to one

- 5:30Speaker 3: They built a series of missions there out of mud
- 5:33Speaker 3: and straw, and moved them around because they sometimes built
- 5:39Speaker 3: too close to the river, it flooded.
- 5:40Speaker 4: Blah blah blah.
- 5:41Speaker 3: And then eventually they built this, and they built the church.
- 5:45Speaker 3: It fell down, and then they made a more permanent
- 5:48Speaker 3: chapel after that, and then they fortified it. Now we
- 5:53Speaker 3: are not allowed to forget.

- 16:28Speaker 1: Yeah, we live close to marble, Colorado, where there is

- 16:38Speaker 3: It's super interesting. The gum isn't always coated by this
- 16:42Speaker 3: calcium carbonate. Sometimes it can be a polyol or a
- 16:46Speaker 3: corn starch or powdered sugar, but apparently ground marble, food
- 16:52Speaker 3: grade and safe to eat.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Yeah, and it makes sense that gum needs to be coated.
- 17:00Speaker 1: You'd open up and be.
- 17:01Speaker 3: Like, not a gain.
- 17:04Speaker 1: That's it for the regular rounds, which means it's time
- 17:07Speaker 1: for the big bang round. The category for this week's
- 17:14Speaker 1: Big Bang Round is Business and Inventions. We will give
- 17:19Speaker 1: you three clue questions, which are all hints to one
- 17:22Speaker 1: final question. The clue questions may not fall under the
- 17:26Speaker 1: same category. Question one, the word marsupial comes from marsupium,
- 17:34Speaker 1: the technical term for what feature belonging to marsupials?
- 17:44Speaker 3: Question two, Bravos Talk Show Inside the Actors Studio was

- 17:57Speaker 1: Question three commonly used an Italian cuisine rodicio is what
- 18:03Speaker 1: cultivated part of the chicory plant?
- 18:11Speaker 3: And your Big Bang question? Again, the category is Business
- 18:14Speaker 3: and Inventions. A popular legend says that in nineteen oh
- 18:18Speaker 3: eight Thomas Sullivan accidentally marketed samples of his product wrapped
- 18:23Speaker 3: in silk, which became what now common product?
- 18:31Speaker 1: And Now for the answers to the Big Bang Round
- 18:33Speaker 1: Question one, the word marsupial comes from marsupium, the technical
- 18:40Speaker 1: term for what feature belonging to marsupials pouch?
- 18:47Speaker 3: Question two Bravos Talk Show Inside the Actor Studio was
- 18:50Speaker 3: hosted by which dean of the Actor Studio Jurrama School,
- 18:55Speaker 3: James Lipton? What's your favorite sound.
- 19:02Speaker 1: When you die question three, commonly used in Italian cuisine,
- 19:10Speaker 1: Rodicio is what cultivated part of the chicory plant.
- 19:17Speaker 2: Leaves.
- 19:19Speaker 3: And finally, a popular legend says that in nineteen oh eight,
- 19:22Speaker 3: Thomas Sullivan accidentally marketed samples of his product wrapped in silk,
- 19:26Speaker 3: which became what now common product the leaves and a
- 19:30Speaker 3: pouch sold by such companies as Lipton It's tea bags. Now,
- 19:38Speaker 3: he wasn't the one who invented them. He just kind
- 19:42Speaker 3: of made the marketing of it and selling tea in pouches,
- 19:47Speaker 3: especially little silk pouches famous. They were actually patented by ROBERTA.
- 19:55Speaker 3: Lawson and Mary McLaren of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
- 19:58Speaker 2: Hey, Milwaukee.
- 20:00Speaker 3: Three. He's the one that made them commercially successful because
- 20:05Speaker 3: I think he sent out all these samples and then
- 20:08Speaker 3: people just put these tea bags in their water, and
- 20:11Speaker 3: we're like, this is super easy. It's less to clean
- 20:15Speaker 3: up afterwards from loose tea leaves, and it infuses and
- 20:19Speaker 3: strains a lot better. And then they've just built from there.
- 20:22Speaker 1: So that's pretty crazy. Yeah, Well it's kind of funny
- 20:26Speaker 1: because I do feel like now there's a lot of
- 20:28Speaker 1: tea companies that do loose leaf and you know, have
- 20:32Speaker 1: cute products that you can PLoP into your yeah, tea
- 20:36Speaker 1: in your water. You put the tea like in a
- 20:39Speaker 1: rubber ducky or a man of Tea, Man of Tea
- 20:46Speaker 1: a t rex. But tea bags are very simple, and.
- 20:52Speaker 3: They started making them out of other materials because you know,
- 20:55Speaker 3: as you can imagine, silk got a little expensive to
- 20:58Speaker 3: have them in makes sense. And now we have to
- 21:01Speaker 3: worry about microplastics.
- 21:03Speaker 1: H tasty, tasty microplastics. Yeah, Like we bought a new
- 21:11Speaker 1: toothbrush and it was like, help get out those microplastics.
- 21:14Speaker 1: I'm like, what, what's this world?
- 21:17Speaker 3: Like?
- 21:19Speaker 1: We just accept that we eat plastic, but now we'll
- 21:22Speaker 1: sell products to be like, since you are consuming microplastics
- 21:26Speaker 1: instead of dealing with the you know, core issue, let's
- 21:31Speaker 1: make a better toothbrush to get it up from between
- 21:34Speaker 1: your teeth.
- 21:36Speaker 3: Probably add more in the process, probably, but.
- 21:42Speaker 1: At least there's trivia and wonderful listeners. So thank you
- 21:50Speaker 1: so much for giving us an escape from this wild,
- 21:53Speaker 1: wacky world we live in to enjoy some knowledge with friends.
- 21:58Speaker 4: Yeah, your might in this toasty world. I think that'll
- 22:05Speaker 4: do it for us. For this episode of Quiz Quiz
