Cincinnati Jeopardy

This episode, Beaver Lovin' Bob takes the lads to task over their own hometown.

1:42Woeful Wade gives bad news, dies, slaps someone, talks turds and toilets, but knows his arts and towers. Multi-nostriled Mark doesn't know Sonny, but succeeds in slang. From automobile events to unhumbled humble, it's time for Cincinnati Jeopardy. Now sit back and prepare to be distracted and enjoy the show. Hello and welcome back to another episode of Distractable, the last podcast you see before your car goes tumbling into the ravine. That's right. This is the podcast that causes you to wreck your vehicle. Allegedly. I mean, we don't cause it on purpose, but facts are facts, man. I'm your host.

2:33My name is Bob. I am hosting because I won last week. I'm joined, as always, by the two competitors for today's episode, who will be competing to host the next one. And, of course, that would be Mark and Wade. Ooh, yeah, yeah. You ever seen a three-headed Grim Reaper? Three-headed, three-scythed Grim Reaper? That's distractible. Not the head on his shoulders. Huh? Nothing. A three-headed, three-penis, three-sived Grim Reaper. Reaper, watch out. Two arms, two legs, three heads, three other heads. Two belly buttons for some reason. They each have their own little cloak as well. Yeah, yeah. Just two, yeah, two belly buttons.

3:08You gotta balance it out somewhere. It's one nose, but six nostrils. Ooh. You'd hate that. Why would I hate that? The holes. That's not enough holes. That's not enough holes. How many holes does it have to be? More than six for sure I've never counted If we're gonna show Mark increasingly more holes He's like oh that one One two three four five six seven You think you have that phobia And you go into like your therapist's office And they show you a video where it's just like One two And the doctor's just like Eight it's eight for you You look scared at seven but eight definitely did it Uh Something something I'm gonna host Small talk let's do small talk I was immediately going to just jump into the thing, but that's not.

3:53I have breaking sad news. The distractible mascot is being removed. Bucky's decided that it was too close to their logo and we can no longer have the distractible mascot. This is probably satire, unless. I didn't even know we had a mascot. Now that you've put that out there, we're definitely got a cease and desist email coming our way. What would be our mascot would have been our mascot? We drew it. Oh, the fridge. Uh, yeah, didn't we draw it collectively? The fridge with the shards of glass? That's it, yeah. That is very beaver-esque. You shut your mouth right now. You're lying. I would never lie to you, man.

4:31I'm gonna... I'll do it again. I would never lie to you, man. Slap yourself. Oh. Damn, that was loud. Ooh, that's a good one. That one hurt a little, yeah. It's, uh, Portis and the hair for this episode. All my funny is gonna be spread out. Mark's the hair. Yeah. Wait, no, no, I'm the tortoise. You can't make Wade be there, that's so rude. No, but my analogy doesn't work the other way around. It does if you keep losing. If it's the tortoise and the wabbit. Okay, that makes more sense, yeah. I don't have a carrot. I don't know what else rabbits do other than have carrots and fuck. That's it. Those are the two rabbit things.

5:07That's a comprehensive list. This is completely unreal. You know how, like, so I used to have a rabbit and like whenever rabbits run, they just kind of like poop as they run so they leave like little trails little poops i went to check the mail and right across the driveway it wasn't a rabbit but it was a deer that had done the same thing there was just the trail of turds it was really gross deer turds are a whole other scale than rabbit turds though yeah but the way they plop in like the little pattern i was like this reminds me of my rabbit but like on steroids i can see the connection my news buckies and deer poop got anything else going on you want to talk about or does that pretty much cover it you know rabbits Anyway, there was this deer.

5:48You know pigs, right? Anyway. No, man. The last week we've spent doing like, you know how you keep a house clean to go clean rooms and stuff. But like every now and then you do the deep clean where like you go extra above and beyond to like get every nook and cranny. We've been doing the deep clean and I spent five hours cleaning bathrooms yesterday, like five hours straight. And Molly has like little makeup kit things where it's like, you know, different brushes and cases of makeup and stuff. I went and I took each piece out and individually dusted and cleaned it and then I cleaned each Holder and stuff and then went through and cleaned the light fixtures and literally everything else And i'm so sore the bot i've never had the bottom of my feet hurt so bad I guess I should have worn like some kind of shoes or something while doing it You know wear your house shoes man.

6:31Yeah, I didn't I was just barefoot on tile and uh, i'm feeling it today I'm feeling it. That's it. I cleaned bathrooms. That's been my life for the last week I don't know how, but somehow for me, that deep, deep cleaning is on some level. It's like really relaxing because you just sort of like zone out and get really into doing, but also on a higher level, it's like my fucking nightmare because I'm, I'm terrible at like being careful and paying attention when also I'm zoned out doing the same thing over and over and over again. And I'll just like not clean a whole, I don't know, like I'll be in the bathroom and then not clean the mirror and then come out and be like, bathroom's done.

7:08and mandy looks in and it's like fuck it's not try again for me it's different i i start off and i'm really focused and i'm like putting all this effort in but like just like with games and other stuff like i'll get like three quarters of the way done and then all of a sudden my brain's like all right we need to be i'm done with this i don't want to do this anymore we're done we gotta speed along and i've like forced myself to finish i don't know i'm like that with games too i'll play a video game like non-stop for like a week and then i'll get almost through the game and i'm like all right well i can't launch that game ever again time to move on to something else i don't know what that is but I have that where it's just like I've thoroughly cleaned 90 % of this bathroom just a little bit left couldn't possibly no please don't make me finish I don't know a weird pick of not wanting to finish things but it's done I did it good job I have some jokes for that I'm not gonna say them you hate points don't you yeah you could get points no no no it would be crass and I'm not crass oh I'm not gonna do it I am I cleaned poop all week and then I walked across poop on the driveway I've got poop everywhere.

8:08Not my own. Well, unless. And then the cat. Dude, I ran out to grab food before we started recording as you guys know. Coming back down the stairs. Our cat pooped on the stairs again. I almost stepped in on the way to my office. I had to clean that up. Yeah, but he's old. Yeah, that's understandable. He always does it right in my path. I think it's intentional. I think he hates me. Isn't that just how cats are? Don't they generally kind of hate you even if they like you? They also hate you? I think a lot of other cats do this, but he also does a thing where he'll cut you off when you're going up or down stairs specifically like he's trying to trip you.

8:38Lexi does that. I think she's just a tiny dog who has no spatial awareness because she's mostly deaf and going blind slowly. I think his is intentional because he was holding a knife while he did it. Interesting. That's a strong sign. In the mouth or duct tape to the paws? Nah, the hand. The hand. Sticking straight out of his butthole behind him for safety. Where his hand is, yeah. Interesting. Haven't had a cat in a while. The butt hand. His human hand. An awful image All of these have been awful images Yeah that crossed the line though man Come on I sure hope this small talk gets animated Oh I'm sure it will Anyway Good small talk Mark really did share a lot of the points with Wade on that one But sometimes you're the generous one So that's okay That's what they call me Anyway guys I have a game for you today That I am tentatively calling easy jeopardy uh oh no wait i got bad vibes this is a uh thing that a person online made uh on the website jeopardy labs dot com it's literally it's just trivia it's just jeopardy it's a place where you can go and make your own jeopardy games this one is called cincinnati jeopardy oh come on it's so unfair i haven't been there in years i don't even remember that city it's okay mark i don't know much about my own town anyway either so i'm fucked It's fine.

10:04It's fine. There's only 12 questions. Remember when we were, like, talking about all the incredible things about Cincinnati and come here, and we didn't even hit, like, half of the things at Cincinnati? We're all from here and didn't remember any of them. Oh, my God. Don't worry. Don't worry. It's easy. Where did my notes go? All right, I guess I don't get to have notes. I'll take other notes. That's fine. It's easy, and there are only three categories. Would you like to hear today's categories? Yes. you don't have a choice i don't know why i asked you okay the first category is cincy slang then we have headquartered here and then finally we have things to do can i write those down yeah that's probably not a terrible idea actually and you may pick for one two three or four hundred point dollars four hundred point dollars got it they're usually dollars on the show aren't they wait what was there were four right things to do since he's slaying no there was three there was three categories three okay i've got those i'm gonna flip my coin of confusing sides today weighty is the lady and that is a lion hey i don't know if it's gonna focus but it is a lion which means mark gets to pick first you have control of the board easy jeopardy easy I looked at the questions.

11:26I know you guys got this. Uh, okay. Uh, can I call you Bob? My name's Bob. Bob. Can I call you Bob? My name is Bob. That's, that still works here. Yes. Uh, thanks Bob. Can I get headquartered here for 200? I don't know what the strategy is for picking like numbers that don't begin at the beginning, but I just wanted to do. I don't have any money. No, it is. No, that was just the regular sound. Sorry. I forgot. Oh, oh, okay. I thought that was the Daily Double. I don't watch Jeopardy enough to know that there's no Daily Double. There's no Daily Double. Oh, okay. Okay. All right. That's what I was about to say.

12:02We're just answering the question that we select, right? We're not beeping in. Do we have to answer in the form of a question? You may steal if the first person gets it wrong. Sure. That's fine. You have to answer in the form of a question unless I don't notice. Good caveat. Mark, headquartered here for 200. The answer is this privately held Cincinnati company makes drinks that boast, quote, a full day supply of vitamin C. What is what is Angry Orchard? Wait, do you have a guess? Can you repeat the question? This privately held Cincinnati company makes drinks that boast, quote, a full day supply of vitamin C.

12:48What is Honey Delight? Oh my god that is correct Damn it's in Cincinnati The Sunny Delight Beverages Company Is a Cincinnati company I couldn't think of the other orange juice I could only think of Sunny I was gonna say the other one I was just banking that Angry Orchard had a non-beer division Or something like that So that was just a guess Yeah it was the only orange I couldn't think of Is it called Simply Orange Is that the one I couldn't think of I mean Tropicana Simply Orange I literally could only think I was like, I think that's orange juice. The only way I could think of a sunny delight because the song came into my head.

13:24And also like they don't grow oranges in Ohio. So it'd have to be a non or it makes sense. It makes sense. I just didn't know that they were headquartered in Cincinnati. I thought I thought I was a shoe in for that category. What a lucky guess. That's that's$200 points for Wade. Wade, you have control of the board. Damn it. Let's go headquartered here for 300. And the answer is manufacturers and markets umbrellas, gloves, rainwear, rubber rain boots, and other weather-related accessories. It's not Skyline Chili. As the host, I'm not supposed to give clues, but I will say this is a very big brand.

14:01But also, you guys have no fucking chance. I didn't know this was a Cincinnati company. What is Lululemon? mark to steal what is brooks brothers the correct answer is totes isotoner oh that was my next guess oh my god totes isotoner totes as in storage totes and isotoner as in Isotoner gloves Which is a big brand Is it? Is it really? It is. Oh big brand Why haven't they advertised on distractible? Well that's a good question Oh I was ready for the answers to be skyline chili Gold star chili Oh No. I told you guys this is Sissy stuff. This is real easy I'm a fake fan But it's fine and you know what?

15:02I'm not gonna subtract points from your score like they do on real jeopardy you just lose control of the board for getting a wrong answer uh so mark your your choice i'll i think our strategy was wrong i gotta start on the easiest ones i'll take headquartered here for 100 yes so i can get a single dollar the united states largest supermarket by revenue and the second largest general real retailer behind Walmart. What is Kroger? That is correct. All right. I'm on the board. Yes. Good one, Mark. Good one. See, I knew you guys had this. It's still my turn, right? Yes. Yes. All right. Give me Cincinnati slang for a hundred.

15:46Oh, damn it. He is smart. I am smart. Phrase often used when asking someone to repeat themselves. Oh, in Cincinnati. Yeah. It's please, right? What is please that is correct all right yeah because yeah i i know there's many stories where people from since anywhere like i guess it's probably a nearby region have people misinterpret it because like a job interview or something else like didn't hear something they go please i still find that confusing it does not happen a lot at every time because it for anyone who can't envision it it's literally you'll literally be like uh hey i'm looking for the bathroom like whatever you're in the stores and be like hey excuse me like where's the bathroom what and the person just looks at you and is like please yes please please i'm looking for the bathroom i'm sorry i didn't use the magic word help me yeah yeah it's just i don't do that i hear i'm sorry more often than not when someone wants you to repeat something like i'm sorry it's like oh okay i'll tell you again nah no way you're not real cincinnatian yeah uh mark's real cincinnati that's why he has control of the board that's why i got control of the board oh damn it go headquarter here for 400.

16:54No balls. No. Yeah, no balls. I got none. Things to do for 100. No! Alright. God damn it. I'm never gonna get another point. Fresh fruits, vegetables, and delicacies of all kinds await you in this historic farmer's market in the heart of the city. Oh, you should definitely know this one. Oh. No, it's not called. I said 100, right? You heard that, right? 100. Please? Please it's really close to the University of Cincinnati where we all lived close by there and did attend the Dan What is the Danbury dollar saver farmers market?

17:36So close but that is incorrect way do you know this one I've been there I was there like two years ago Is okay, I've got a guess I don't know if this is the one you're referencing is it Finley market? what is Finley market that is correct that now that I hear the name yeah that makes more sense if you don't actually go there I get why like I don't ever think about it but it is that is a pretty like big thing I think Molly's parents wanted to go down so Molly and her parents and I went down a couple years ago all right Wade with a lucky guess I mean with an answer he knew we have control of the board let's go things to do for 200 I'm gonna use mark strategy uh-huh that's a long one I mean you got this With 80 or so galleries Art lovers can stroll through dozens of galleries Works span 6 ,000 years And feature pieces from renowned artists Such as Warhol, Bengal Picasso, Rembrandt And Gainsborough Special exhibitions are offered year round What is Cincinnati Art Museum I fucking hate it That's correct It's called the Cincinnati Art Museum It is called the Cincinnati Art Museum.

18:55Damn it. I knew that one. Did I have lucked into two of these? Oh my god. Ah, that's fine. Oh man. Don't worry. I got 200 bucks. Oh man. Don't worry. I'm getting any more. Unless it's called Cincinnati Answer Something. It's a very convenient one. It's good. Oh, things to do for... No, wait, hold. Yeah, you know, I'm going to go balls. Things to do for 300. Answer is, during football season, this is one of the hottest spots in town. The city's beloved Bengals play at this facility that's located just west of the Great American Ballpark and just one block from the Ohio River. The stadium spans 22 acres and has 65 ,535 seats.

19:39What is Pacor Stadium, formerly known as Paul Brown? I'm going to check this right now. Yes, that is correct. It would be real awful if it wasn't currently called Pacor. Oh, you're thinking of the crypto.com stadium. I was thinking that might have changed, but yeah, like I was like, it's, it's the Kraken crypto bro, whatever dome now, but I actually don't know how long it's going to be called pay core. I know they signed it like what, two years ago to get borough signed, but I don't remember how long the thing was. Well, that's what I was thinking is I was kind of thinking it's going to change at some point here.

20:11I'm both like, Oh, come on. That's a$300 question. And also, well, I didn't know what that was. So yeah, that's, that's tough luck. Because Wade only knows that because he's a big football fan. I buy tickets to go there, yeah. Yeah. And only one of you co-hosts a sports podcast, and I think we both know who that is.

20:34Wait, who? Me, right? It's me. What is who is me? Things to do for 400. Can I call you Bob, too? You can call me Mr. M. Mr. M? Things to do for 400? Yeah. This building, once the tallest in Cincinnati, was erected in 1931. The Art Deco building houses Tower Place Mall and a hotel. Spectacular views from the observation deck. Oh, I've been here too. What is Big Big Building? Man, I hate that that's right. Obviously, that is incorrect. Mark, do you know this one? It would be really bad if I didn't, given that my wedding. You didn't happen to host anything in this building in the last year, did you?

21:29I know we were just there.

21:36Man, Mark's in more trouble than just what Cincinnati is. Hold on, hold on, hold on. He's just walking through his mind palace Trying to locate the correct information What is the Netherland Plaza? Ooh Sorry that it's incorrect That better not be That may be what that area is called But the building itself is called The Karoo Tower I hadn't heard of that I don't know what that is I don't know that I knew that name I feel a little bit better I don't know what that is I don't know what that is all about Alright, alright, alright I don't know. What's the Netherlands Plaza then? Is that just the Netherlands?

22:15It's a country, Mark. It's a country. Right. Right. Okay. You're right. I got them confused. When you first get to the country, you go to the Plaza, then they let you, uh, it's part of the Carew tower complex. It's the Hilton Cincinnati. Netherlands Plaza is the historic art deco hotel located inside the tower. Okay. All right. Makes sense. So I feel like people could give me a pass on this one and I can lose You totally remembered it. That just wasn't helpful to you in the game itself. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Yeah. What was it called? It's Karoo. Like, you know, whenever you're on a plane, you have the flight Karoo.

22:51Funny joke, Wade. That's funny. Yeah, there you go. Mark and I were just syncing it up. All right. Okay. Balls. Headquartered here for 400. In 2007, this Fortune 100 company changed its name from Federated Department Stores to this iconic name. Hint, they announced in February they will be closing their downtown Cincinnati headquarters. See, I don't know how up-to-date this is, so it might not be this February that that was announced. What was the old name of it again? Federated Department Stores. Okay, so it's going to be a department store of some type. what is Kohl's? I'm sorry that's incorrect.

23:34Wait do you know this one? I know this one! Oh wait what is what is what is what is Sears? I'm sorry that's incorrect the correct answer is Macy's Macy's was headquartered in Cincinnati? I thought Macy's was older than that. I did not know that either It's always a New York thing to me Because Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Yeah that's what I was thinking I thought of Macy's like no Macy's is much older And not Cincinnati Wait Macy's was only called Macy's Starting in 07? I think the stores were called that The parent company Oh that's what threw me off I was like nah there's been like a Macy's Day Parade for like 100 years Or something weird so like nah it can't be that That was the first department store I thought of I was like nah it can't be that 100 years or something weird I was like that'd be so stupid if I said Macy's I think I broke this rule the last time But since everyone got that wrong Wade you get to pick now Because I was doing that before Oh I was going with it Yeah we've been doing it I think we've been doing it that way Okay good Oh Cincinnati slang for 300 right in the middle Oh my god Nicknamed the Big Mac Bridge For its resemblance to McDonald's Golden Arches Oh There's only so many bridges down there So you know I'm sure you know all their names Yeah, it's like you just told me the name of it.

24:57I should just repeat what you said, but that can't be it Was the actual name of the bridge that is nicknamed the Big Mac bridge. Yeah Yeah, well when you're walking around down there people people are always like, you know, go down. What is old yeller? You have to have a gun on the bridge you go to the middle of the guy Look at the water. We're going by the shed. Seems like a bridge nobody would want to walk on. Mark, do you know? I only know one name, and I don't even know if this is a bridge, but what is the Brent Spence? That's the big highway one. Ah, shit. Ah, shit. What is the purple people mover bridge?

25:37That is a different one, and I don't think that's this one. The Big Mac Bridge is officially known as the Daniel Beard Bridge. Never heard that in my life. I would have never guessed that. Well, no. Famous Cincinnatian. He's the reason we have beards. All right. Here we go. Mark's choice. Also, how's that slang? I don't know. I don't get these. Oh, God. Well, you had to know the slang to then get it because the answer was so easy. Everyone wouldn't just know the answer, obviously. I'm balls. I'm balls. Cincinnati slang for 400. The shortcut for ordering Cincinnati-style chili with spaghetti, raw onions, kidney beans, and cheddar cheese.

26:18Is there another name for this? Say it again. This is the shortcut for ordering Cincinnati-style chili with spaghetti, raw onions, kidney beans, and cheddar cheese. I'm like, the way that I would order it is pretty short as is. Why would I need a shortcut? Is this a trick? Are you tricking me? What the fuck? Is that your answer? Do you see doesn't I seem like the kind of a guy who would trick you? I honestly have I don't know. What is a five way? That's correct. It's a five way. Oh, okay I was goes about to say it like what the fuck that was for 400 Daniel beard was three. I was like, that's the only way I know it and it's like I was like this really short So it probably that but well but right it that's the shortcut because if you sit down and go I want a way with onions and and beans and cheese like if you say all the things that you want you'll still get it but it's called a five-way that's the shorthand for it yeah yeah it's a five-way yeah i just can't believe that's a 400 question that's why it felt like a trick to me too i was like well no it's a 400 question there's i think that was honestly i think that was the idea because if anyone from cincinnati was answering it it would seem like a trick because you're like oh that's only called one thing.

27:35There's no other thing. I was trying to think of Gold Star, like, called it something else. I was like, I don't know how else I would order that. Like, give me skinny with the fixings. Because with a four-way, you have to pick onions or beans, and you have to tell them. Okay, alright. So, still mine, right? Yeah, but there's only one left on the board. Choose carefully. Alright, last one. Daily Double. Come on. 200. Cincy slang for 200. Pepsi and Coke are known as soda to most of the world, but in Cincinnati, this slang term reigns supreme. What is pop? That is correct. Which is funny because I don't call it that.

28:13I think I call it soda mostly, but I guess that's wrong. Soda pop. I say both. I usually just say which one I want. I like never say pop. Saying pop sounds weird to me. I feel like I said pop more when I was younger. I think I say soda more now. I can't believe Daniel Beard was sandwiched between those two. That is all of the questions off the board. Let me just double check here. Mark, we won. I feel good. We are Cincinnati still. Yeah, right? We definitely didn't miss a lot of those. You missed four of them, which is one third. And I did say this was easy Jeopardy. So, of course, we have to keep going until you're able to answer all of them correctly.

28:54Oh, fuck me. What did you think I meant when I said easy Jeopardy? Oh no, what's the bridge name? Oh no I thought you were being nice You only missed four You only have to remember a couple things, really Oh no What do you get two? The other one gets two You're all done How hard could it be? And I told you the answers I told you it was easy I have, I, oh God damn it When will we learn? When will we learn? when will we learn i don't know man mark got the last one's correct so i guess mark has control of the board unfortunately in my final jeopardy you don't get to pick you have to answer the question that i give you okay mark uh headquartered here for 300 this company manufactures and markets umbrellas gloves rainwear rubber rain boots and other weather related accessories I forgot about this question Oh Oh What is totes and I Sex Interlopers Totes and Impressionables Totes and I Not out Ah fuck Totes and in and out ah so close so close but that's not it wait do you know this one you just say no if you're if you're sure that you don't know what is tote meal that's incorrect oh of course the answer is totes isotoner everybody remembers that of course isotoner was on the tip of my tongue all right wait you get to answer things to do for 400 oh no this building once the tallest in cincinnati was erected in 1931 the art deco building houses tower place mall and a hotel spectacular views from the observation deck we were just talking about that we talked about it a lot because mark was surprised he didn't hear that name because he knew the other stuff about the place i made my netherlands joke what is karu tower that is correct i i would have gotten that i would have got i want to point out i would have gotten that I would have gotten it.

31:19I would have gotten it. Yeah, Mark looked like he knew that one, too. I only got there because you two spent like a few seconds like trying to pronounce it. I was like, what was that thing? There's a crew car. We were pronouncing it fine. You were the one pronouncing it weird. All right, Mark. You get to answer. Headquartered here for 400. In 2007, this Fortune 100 company changed its name from federated department stores to this iconic name. Hint, they announced in February of some year that they will be closing their downtown Cincinnati headquarters. What is Macy's? That's correct. Bizarre. Bizarre.
