1:08yo what's going on people on the internet welcome back to another special episode of the waveform podcast we're your hosts i'm marquez i'm andrew and i'm david and today we are all enemies as you've noticed what's today yeah wait every episode well just you know as you've noticed over the past couple of weeks we've done trivia we've been tallying up our scores you guys might might have been wondering, what are you going to do with those scores? How do we know when it ends? Like who wins? This is how we know. This episode, all of our points are being dumped into this machine that is trivia extravaganza.
1:43We are all starting with the points that we have earned over the past few weeks. And if you've seen these episodes before, we will probably end with a very different number of points. Whoever has the most at the end will win. So that's what we've been fighting for this whole time. All of these trivia questions have been to accumulate the 20-something points each of us has. I'm in the 30s. But to run the show, I'm going to pass it over to the producer desk, and they will get us kicked off. In your 30s? Let's do it. I couldn't have said it any better than that, Marquez. That's what's going on. Normal trivia rules.
2:15We're going to get into the specific rules of each round when we get there. Some buzzers, some whiteboards. But yeah, I think we might as well just get started. That's loud. What? Oh, guys, it's time for another waveform trivia extravaganza! Marquez, Andrew, David, it's time to compete for the ultimate trivia challenge! There will only be one winner! This is it! That was incredible. That was epic. Wow. Do a Leepa interview with Tim Cook? Thanks. Where am I? That was awesome. Okay. I think that is my alarm every morning. Yes, please. At the same volume. You got it. All right. So this first round is called That's Old News.
3:18And we're going to read you a headline. and you have to tell us if that headline came from this year or from a previous year. Wow, this is the longest year of my life. Let's see. It's been a long year. This is also a whiteboard round. So please pick up your markers and your pens and your boards. So we're not, this isn't like time-based buzzing in. No, this is going to be normal trivia rules. And again, there's only two possible answers per question. It is this year or not this year. Should we start real quick just with the actual scores? Did we do that yet? Oh, you know what? That's a great idea.
3:54We absolutely should. I'm going to pass it off to Actually, this is a perfect moment to introduce our scorekeeper Producer of the studio channel Eric. And Eric, why don't you tell the people what the starting scores of our players are?
4:14They pushed me into a really far back corner All right, so with 24 points, we have Marquez. The crowd goes wild. With 25 points, we have David Amell. That's right. And in the lead, we have 31 points for Andrew. Let's go! No way he blows this lead. No way he blows this lead. No way. Let's do this. First headline X once again adds headlines To article links But with tiny text Oh my god How long has it been? Is this an article from this year Or from years prior? X once again adds headlines Because they took it out So it was only the photo with no headline Then they added it But now it's just this little tiny On the bottom Tell them about everything explaining what it was.
5:11Give them the answer, why don't you? That's not the answer. How long ago was that? Flip him and read. What do we got? David? I put prior. I put old. I put this year. I thought that was pretty recent. Yeah, Ellis had that backwards. We're off to the races, folks. On the first one. Marquez has one point and that is all that was awarded that round. Wait, so what month was that? I don't know. That was like four months ago, I thought. No, it was way longer. It was longer than that. This year is just long. January 2nd, 2024. January 2nd, you mother. Okay, they're going to play with that January and December.
5:59Okay, all right. Next headline. Tesla Model Y range estimate reduced by 6%, becoming more realistic. is that a headline from this year or previous years damn are you going to play the music um
6:23Andrew's already got an answer are you just straight guessing on this I think I need to guess as fast as possible before I second guess myself because it just feels worse when you get it wrong after second guessing guess that's true you only get one guess if you like write once something down erase it and write the other thing And that other one was wrong. All right, yeah. Yeah. All right, Flipperman Reed, what do we got? I wrote prior. Prior? Yeah. Nope. I wrote this year. Dang. I also wrote this year. Nice. A point awarded each to Andrew and Marquez. It was a 6 % because it was like a new EPA cycle.
6:56I forgot why it went down. So did I. I also thought it was this year, but I wrote last year.
7:06Interesting strategy. We'll see how it pays off. All right. Next headline. Peering through Lenovo's transparent laptop into a sci-fi future. This year or previous years? This is the same thing. Is it CES? CES. Lenovo's transparent laptop. Transparent? Was that this CES? No. Or last CES? I don't remember CES's anymore. It feels like a prototype that would be at CES. I mean, transparent tech is hot right now. I don't remember a Lenovo transparent one. I don't remember the product at all, but I'm guessing now. Flip them and read. What do we got? I wrote prior. Oh, my God. I wrote this year. Nice.
7:54I wrote this year. All right. Was it CES? Guys. It was. Did you pick another January one? That might have been a lie. No, this was a February article on The Verge, so probably not CES. When was there a transparent laptop? Lenovo. It was at MWC. You guys need to give me some of those. Oh. Oh, MWC the insides of this laptop? MWC was February. All right, guys. Next headline. Samsung's leaked concept videos may show its vision for AR glasses. Oh, no. This could have been any time in the last 10 years. The amount of probability in that headline is astounded. Yeah, it's a concept video that may show.
8:41Could show their potential ideas. Show their CEO cooking steaks in the backyard. Who's to say? What do we got? I put 2024. Oh my god. I put last. you shouldn't have definitely put it either you should just put not this year yeah that's what I meant to put oh no we'll give it to you you are correct that's fair I did write this year gonna die this is from 2021 2021 I feel like we would have talked about it if we were talking about them doing glasses so that felt my worst track record ever send help I mean it's not that far off from when Marquez was guessing everybody's answers and and Ellis just rang the buzzer seven times in a row this morning.
9:34Next headline. Which one would be good? I've got so many delicious ones here. The one that I'll get right. What's the probability of getting a 50-50 question wrong? Three times. Four times. It's one half to the fourth. 25, 12 and a half, 6.125%. Amazing, David. That's pretty impressive. If I can use that probability to find a rare Pokemon in Pokemon DC, that would be amazing. All right. Next headline. Former SolarWinds CEO blames intern for SolarWinds123 password leak. Oh. Was the SolarWinds hacked this year? That was fun. I liked covering that. Although, was that this year? I don't remember talking about that.
10:23I don't remember talking about that. These are not all headlines that we talked about. These are all headlines that we pulled from the waveform slack, but they might not have all made. There was like the Microsoft. People don't know. Whatever you think it is, put the opposite. I changed my answer last second. That's not a good sign. What do we got? I put prior. That is correct. Yes. What did you write? I put last, but then I was like, wait, last year is not what I want to put. It was not last year, but it was a previous year. I put this year. I put prior. thank god but i see i thought it was yeah i think i was starting to mix up the solar winds hack with the thing that happened at the airports oh the crowd strike the crowd strike yeah oh that was i remember solar winds that was also fun to cover yeah fun not to be part of next headline thank you want to invest in nothing carl pay opens investment opportunity to community that the first time it happened?
11:24It's just a headline. Who's to say? Did that happen this year or multiple years ago? I feel like it would be more explanatory if it was the first time. Well, it's just a headline. Want to invest in nothing? Then just don't do anything. I'm investing in nothing right now. Wow. Flip him and read. What do we got? I put prior. Yeah. Oh, man. Now I'm going down the train. I put this year. I put prior. Was it the first time they did that? The first time. That was the first time. Okay. Yeah. I feel like the first headlines were like explaining who Carl Paye was and like who the, whatever. Want to invest in nothing?
12:10Meet Carl Paye. I guess that was not a funny headline the first time, too. CEO of nothing is quite the title. CEO of absolutely nothing. I'm the CEO of nothing. That's true. All right. Next headline. IKEA releases a pair of affordable USB-C chargers. This is from The Verge.
12:32We should start guessing who put it in Slack. Slack channel. Damn, did I post that? No, that's 100 % an Atom post. Yeah. I'd be like, who cares? a pair I can't remember a pair did it say finally no no okay
12:55we all put this year and you're all correct yeah this year by the mountain goats is a banger track by the way just saying oh you know that song no but I'll listen to it later next headline you won't tired of twitter join me on mastodon that's such a wait that's a headline 2018 from Wired it was called Twitter give me the name of the author actually I feel like the first time I heard Marquez call it X was today when he was like I'm so tired of it X is the past tense of Twitter when you don't want to deal with it anymore flip him and read what do we got I wrote prior. You all wrote prior? We all wrote prior.
13:47You're all correct. What? It's from 2018. Oh my god. Yeah, that's right. I said that before too. I was like, that could be 2018. What? Wait, rewind the tape when I said that could be 2018. Tired of Twitter? Join me on Mastodon. Wait, that's a headline? That's the headline. All right. I'm not. The last headline. Over 15 ,000 hacked Roku accounts sold for 50 cents each to buy hardware. Did that happen this year? To buy hardware? Or in the past? To buy hardware? To buy S hardware. I am really not sure about this one.
14:31Can you pull that article up and tell us what hardware they're buying? I'm confused by that part. hacked accounts were used to make fraudulent purchases of hardware and streaming subscriptions oh it's like stealing someone's credit card what do we got this year correct I was wrong we kind of semi evened out I think it did even out probably not fully I think Marquez made out with the most points in that round Eric you want to tell us if that's true or not alright so for this game In the lead, we've got Marquez with seven points scored so far. Andrew, just behind at six points. You got seven, correct?
15:16And David at five. No way. Really? That's close. There were seven questions? No, you got a couple wrong, I think. Well, then how? I got two wrong. How many questions were there? There were nine questions, I believe. Really? Nine or ten. Wow. That's pretty good. Yeah. That said, Andrew is still in the lead at 36 points total. 36. Andrew's still in the lead at 36. Mark is up by one for me. Wait, shouldn't I have 37? Yeah, mate. That's 37. Wait. Quick maths. Great job, man. All right, next round. And this one I'm particularly excited for. Because, you know, we're here talking about tech every week, right, guys?
15:57And I think there's a lot of things out there in the world that take the principles that we associate with tech and actually apply them to things that are not tech. And I have a quote from a New Yorker article about a fast food restaurant from the 50s that really tried to go against the trends at the time of fast food. This is a McDonald's round, isn't it? By selling tacos to compete with America's burgers. And I'm just gonna read you this quote. This is about one of the first Taco Bells selling one of its first tacos. He assumed that the idea was a lost cause when his first customer, a businessman in a pinstripe suit, dripped grease down his sleeve and onto his tie.
16:40Bell showed people how to tilt their heads up in order to eat a taco. Quote, we changed the eating habits of an entire nation. That was from The New Yorker. His last name was Bell? Yeah. Oh my God. I'd never do that. And so I just thought, you know, we see this all the time with tech. Like you come out with a new product class, you have to teach your consumers how to do it. So this round is called... You're doing it wrong. techo bell all questions about the technology powering america's favorite taco joint did he also start bell labs no yes actually no way yeah alexander graham bell founded taco bell are you sure alexander graham bell started bell labs yes are you sure uh who started bell labs it's gonna be like John Bell III Bell Labs was founded by Alexander Graham Bell f*** off that's an AI answer anyway, Taco Bell this is going to be a buzzer round oh, so we don't need the yeah, you don't need the whiteboards and we're gonna go with the classic buzzer rules where once you buzz, if you get it wrong you are not allowed to buzz again until everyone has attempted to answer the question buzz off so question number one As of July 2024, how many states in the U.S.
18:02have AI-powered drive-thrus at Taco Bell? David. 38. That is incorrect. This is an extremely specific number. Marquez. Two. That is also incorrect. Wait, AI-powered? AI-powered drive-thrus. Andrew. Zero. That is also incorrect. David. I'm going to let you guys go around once more, and then I'm going to tell you. One. One. Oh. AI powered? AI powered? Like LLM based? I don't want to talk to my Taco Bell assistant. Alright, the answer is 13. Never was going to get that. Is it in the 13 original colonies? Maryland. Sorry. Maybe you're running out of time. Maryland. Just kidding. My question is are we doing Jeopardy style scoring where if you get it wrong it's negative one point?
18:54No, fire away. So it's zeros until you get it right and then it's one. Exactly. No penalty. Got it. Did you give me the point? We only really get two chances, though, per question, right? I mean, I'll let you guys go around until I get bored. The audience will be bored by that time. I was just going to hold out and not answer so that you can't answer twice. That was what my strategy was. Like, let you get it wrong and then not answer so that you can't also guess again. That's fine. But, you know, that would be zero points. Play your game. The refs may step in, but we'll see. Question number three.
19:28Taco Bell is famous for its innovation kitchen, which rigorously tests new food items. For every eight to ten food items that make it to the official menu, how many are proposed slash investigated? And this is a multiple choice. A, around 700. B, around 2 ,000. C, around 5 ,000. Or D, around 11 ,000. I'm going with A, 700. That is incorrect. That's crazy. B. B. 2 ,000. That is also in. Crap. Correct. Sorry, wrong button. Sorry, wrong button. This is a lot of pressure. I have a 50-50 chance, and if I get it wrong, the next person gets it right. That is correct. D. D is incorrect. No! Yes! David.
20:15C. C. And I knew it all along, baby. Is correct. Let's go! They test between 4 ,000 and 5 ,000 menu items for every 10. That was the full list. of the century in my category. Is it a category? This is crazy. All right. Let's continue with another innovation kitchen question because I really enjoy these. Thank you. All right. When Taco Bell debuts a new food item from their innovation kitchen, they typically do a modified version of an existing rule but with what rule imposed? And this is another multiple choice. A. You can change taste but not form. B. You can change form, but not taste. C, you can change literally anything you want.
21:00Or D, you can change taste or form, but not both. D. D is correct! You can change the taste or the form of the item, but you cannot change both. So, what tastes the same if you make a new item? In Taco Bell, everything. It is the same seven items. That's true. That's fair. that's fair I feel like a Crunchwrap Supreme tastes different in the Crunchwrap than it does in a burrito because it has way too much tortilla on top of it I love that tortilla me too in that New Yorker article I quoted earlier they detail like how long it took the Crunchwrap Supreme about 13 years of R &D from initial pitch to in stores there's a bar that has a vegan restaurant built into it in Bushwick and they make their own vegan Krav Chup Supremes and it's one of the best things I've ever tasted.
21:55Crazy. Well, off the shoulders of giants. The R &D process is like, nah. Nah. It's actually, so they talk about that in the article and it looks a little bit like that. And the food scientists say the best thing that could happen in those sort of like tasting sessions. What's the answer? Is if someone says wow immediately after they take a bite. What they said is the best thing is if someone takes a bite and doesn't say anything before taking another bite. Because they're professional tasters. They need one bite to be able to adjudicate it. But if they just go in for another one, it means they really like it.
22:34All right. Taco Bell actually owns a patent called System and Process for Applying Seasoning to a Food Item, which details the machinery and processes necessary to apply the cheese powder to the Doritos Locos Tacos. An early prototype of the Doritos Locust Tacos involved the cheese powder being applied to the shell via a spray paint gun. However, this created what issue for Taco Bell employees? Marquez. Yes. Overspray. That is incorrect. They were having, the employees were huffing it. Yes, that is correct. The employees were having an issue breathing in the cheese dust. They were not huffing it recreationally.
23:17it was an unintended consequence. I was going to say sneezing. Let's do, I think I want to do one more Taco Bell question and then I think we can go to commercial. How does that sound, guys? Sounds great. Taco Bell opened with five food items. Tacos, tostadas, burritos, frijoles, and the chili burger. Chili burger? Yes. Wow. What was the first menu item added to that list, aka the first Taco Bell innovation? Can you rename the five? Tacos, tostadas, burritos, frijoles, and chili burgers. David? The one where they put the hard taco inside of the soft taco. Andrew, would you like to tell us what that is called?
24:05Well, the hard taco inside the soft taco is the double-decker taco. No, but then the cheesy gordita crunch isn't a soft-shell taco. It's closer to like a flatbread-ish. You're right. No, you're right. Either way, that is not the correct answer. but thank you for playing wait what was it chalupa no that's the dessert right that's the one with Naruto is Anakin the bad guy dang it I just have to I just gotta name another menu item basically Marquez cheesy fiesta potatoes no that is incorrect This is a good time because they're doing the through the years right now as a specialty thing.
24:55Also, yeah. Crunchwrap Supreme. No. This is not sponsored. They didn't give us a dime. But you should. It'd be pretty cool. If you feel like it. We sound stumped. Would you like the answer? I think I'm stumped. Yeah. Anyone want to give one more guess? the correct answer is the enchirito what's that? Enchilada burrito? Aren't they the same thing? Not even close I thought they were kind of the same thing it's like a cheese wrapped burrito it's got enchilada sauce on top we'll do one more alright which of the following is not a real Taco Bell innovation? Which of the following is not a real Taco Bell innovation?
25:39Does innovation mean it had to make it to the menu? Yes A. Magic Paper. A paper formulation which covers the grilled cheese burrito while it's in the heat press and prevents the cheese on top of the burrito from sticking to the paper. Dope. B. Operation K -. The program to transition all Taco Bell locations to food prep in a central kitchen instead of in the individual kitchens. Markers. Hold on. That's four answers. C. No way it's that one. The waffle taco. A breakfast sausage and egg taco with a waffle shell. That's fire. Or D, these are all real and I didn't make a single one up. Well, it's Marquez first.
26:18Yeah, Marquez technically does get to answer. I don't know, though. I sincerely hope it's B. B is incorrect. No, hey, I was second. Do we get to do that far in advance? Yeah, well, Marquez did. Marquez was more in advance than me. Well, Marquez was first. You both will say our answer at the exact same time. One, two, three. D. D is correct for both of you. Okay. And with that, I think we should take our first commercial break of the program, but don't go anywhere because we have so much exciting trivia. I feel like that was the second category in all of Trivia Extravaganza that was made for me, and I did horribly on both of them.
26:54No, you're doing great. Not to mention, later in the episode, we're going to get to a waveform. No, we're not doing G Fuel this time. Summer. I figured we had to play that one out. But we will be doing another fan favorite, which is the famous waveform audio round. I love the audio round. Later in the episode. Every time I do real trivia, I slap in the audio round. It's true. I've seen it. David's a really good bar trivia partner. For certain categories. Yeah, I am not. Anyway, we'll be right back. Stick around.

30:16Welcome back! More trivia. We turned off gravity during that. I'm going to kick it over to Adam to hit this next round. So Marquez always talks about How YouTube used to have video replies So we gathered A bunch of old YouTube features That you might have forgotten about Or did we You have to tell us which ones Are real features that YouTube had And which ones we made up I hope you made a section for each of us Yours past 30 The news one I did horribly I did terribly on the Taco Bell one That was my rant. And you had a 50-50 shot. You're the news guy. I know, but I have a short-term memory sometimes.
31:03All right, first one. Audio replies. Wait, what was the question? Is it real or is it fake? Oh. Yeah. In what? YouTube? Oh. Okay. Yes. Are these real or fake?
31:24real or fake old youtube features i didn't even do that as a joke but you may have forgotten all right flip them and read what do we got if i don't get 100 on this category at this point david what'd you say i put real andrew marquez definitely fake oh sorry correct thank you you're right there were video replies though i remember that there were video replies that was the example my barometer is 100 for what jesus christ for this category what is wrong with me all right next question we all know about youtube subscribers but did you know that at one point you could also have friends no true or real did i know i mean fake or fake or real youtube friend was it youtube friends to subscribers yes gross um And the official name was Friends.
32:18Friends. Okay. Flip them and read. What do we got? Real. Real, but real. Okay, nice. Correct. Real, real, real. Yeah, nice. Alright. Next question. I put that because I didn't think it was real. You just did the opposite? Two for two, baby. Come on. Reviewing ads. limited test that would prompt the user for a review with a minimum 1 ,000 character limit and it had no skip button. Real or fake? No skip button? No skip button. It was a limited test. What was it? It was so that you could review ads in between YouTube videos. See, limited tests. Like you left a review for an ad? Yes, like an ad would play and then it would pop up a little review.
33:04I know what made it to an official feature for sure. I cannot be sure about a limited test that didn't make it to official. Unskippable? unskippable
33:15this music is awesome epidemic sound baby
33:30flip them and read what do we got I said real you said real I said fake correct that idea came to us from Soren Iverson on threads. It sounded real until I heard unskippable ads. I'm not counting that one against me because it never made it to being a real feature. I know what real features existed. If it was a little test that happened but didn't make it to a real feature I don't know anything about that. Okay, so then here's one for you. Okay. Uh-oh. A YouTube picture in picture feature that allowed users to have up to three videos playing at once on an Android phone. Real or fake? Already got my answer.
34:092024 or prior?
34:15David's still writing. David's still writing. David, you're done? Oh, I wrote. All right. Flip him and read. What do we got? Real. Real? Nope. Absolutely not. I can find the headline for this. It was fake? That was fake. Correct. No way. The dead giveaway was that it was on Android. There's a Google TV feature that lets you watch multiple streams. Three videos? That was the giveaway, that it was three videos. But it's a Google TV feature. On YouTube TV, you can stream four different channels at once. yeah but this is a youtube feature of streaming three videos at once that did not end picture and picture which pip picture picture is a thing yeah but that's two it's been a thing that's actually one video and scrolling so it's not even two videos it's one video in picture pip on youtube and regular picture picture on a tv is two channels yeah one as a small one so i could play my wii on the corner while my dad watched the evening news too real nice all right so if you want to leave a bolded comment on YouTube, you need to put your comment in between asterisks.
35:14But did you know that back in 2014 YouTube briefly tested text formatting in comments which included underlining, bolding and italics. Briefly tested is like Briefly tested! Briefly tested! Users saw it. That counts. I love how many like current social media things like there like brand new innovation. Formatting? dude no it's true I love that I'll format for days I mean on Twitter if it's formatted I ain't reading that wow well that's true because you had it too long yeah it's probably a whole press release flip him and read what do we got Hans Zimmer score this episode you all said real in different ways you're all wrong yeah briefly that was made up briefly test they briefly test anything I would have assumed that would have been real and then it was so messy that they would have gotten rid of it.
36:10They might have tested it but we never heard about it. Alright, next. YouTube fits. In 2020 a section of the YouTube app on Roku TVs that auto-categorized home workouts from famous fitness YouTubers. Yeah, that's sick. Wait, Roku only? Roku TVs only. Yes, the YouTube app on Roku TVs. Can you do that? I have it here. Is it real or is it fake? I'm so anxious.
36:42Was it its separate app in a Roku? No, it was in the YouTube app. But only for Roku. Only for Roku, who was like a special deal.
36:53Flip him and read. What do we got? Real. No shot. You said real? Oh, Andrew. Yeah, the ones I started asking more questions, I was like, there's no chance this would work. Fake news. Yeah, whatever. Alright. Subscription collections. Basically folders for your YouTube subscriptions where you can group channels by content. Real or fake? Why would you need that? What do you mean? You can have all of your tech YouTubers in one folder. That's a great idea. Like a fiat. I mean, it is a good idea because it's real. Like a starter pack. Like a blue sky starter pack. That would be such a good idea. It is a good idea Well it's not anymore because it's not something that's around now right?
37:41You don't know that? Oh I was going to say that's how you know it's fake There's no way It's fake yeah we all wrote fake They all got it right one point for everyone Too good of an idea It must suck when the joke question I'm sorry to burst your bubble but that was real What do you mean was? That was real subscription collections Was real? It was real that was a real feature That YouTube used to have Really? A feature I've never heard of? And then they got rid of it. When was that feature? I have it linked. Let me see. I found a video explaining it from... I just found a video explaining it from nine years ago.
38:16Are you sure this isn't fake? Are you getting April Fool's right now? There's no way Roku would let YouTube and Red look. This is not the Roku one. I know. I'm still thinking about it. YouTube subscription collections. It was discontinued on May 26th, 2015.
38:38There are now multiple extensions that you can use to recreate this feature. Did it come into existence on April 1st, 2015, by any chance? It's a great feature. I can't believe I've never heard of this. I'm really surprised I've never heard of this feature. And it's real. It's never heard of me. I would enable that feature immediately. I'm watching this video from March 1st 2015 and this guy has a tutorial explaining it So that's a month before April 1st 2015. Oh, I live on YouTube I can't believe I've never heard of this me neither when I saw it I was like there's no way and I googled so much because I was like this is such a great idea And they got rid of no one used it Probably Wow
39:20No, I'm gonna go dive into seeing if I can recreate that that's amazing Google's like we fixed this huge problem but told nobody why is nobody using it we gotta deprecate that okay bravo one more every video has a comment section really we know this unless you turn them off that's fair but it's there you just turned them off but did you know there used to be a comment section for the channel oh god true or false
40:00everyone's just bumping this is very like team deathmatch loading screen yeah yeah overwatch remaster mom give me a red bull flip him and read what do you got real real real real real we're all right it's real correct it was called discussions gross it was also called channel comments previously it was literally called channel comments yeah so back in the day I used to have emails turned on for everything. Every time someone added me as a friend, every time someone messaged me, because yes, there were messages, every time someone subscribed, and for every channel comment, and every video comment.
40:35And every time someone subscribed, I clicked on the link in the email to go to their channel, and I left a thank you message on a channel comment. And not only was that kind of a nice gesture, but then people would see a channel comment on a channel that says, thanks for subscribing, and they'd go, oh, a channel to subscribe to, and they'd check out my channel, It had a network effect. A network effect of kind marketing and thanking people all the time. You've been 10xing since... Since before was a thing. I was deep into channel comments. That sounds so similar to Twitch of thanking people for donations and then people watching it realize that donations are coming in and they're getting thanked.
41:12Alright, this next round is called Did They Really Just Say That? Tech executives... Say this is a whiteboard again? No, this is a buzzer round. Oh, okay. So tech executives say some pretty interesting stuff sometimes. We're going to read you a quote. We're going to tell you what year it was said, and you need to tell us who said it. If the tech executive is not a household name, I will let you know ahead of time, and all you have to do is tell me the company that this executive is an executive at. C-suite only? C-suite only. But unless I specifically say that, I am looking for the name of the exact human being who said the quote.
41:48The example quote I have is from IBM chairman Thomas Watson. This quote was said in 1943. And he said, I think there is a world market for maybe five computers. That's amazing. He was spot on. Was that the same guy behind a Watson supercomputer? Yeah. All right, guys, let's get into it. Our first quote is from 2004. 2004. The quote is, two years from now, spam will be solved. Marquez. Yep. That sounds like a Bill Gates-ism. That is in fact Bill Gates right out the gate. He's hot, folks. Right out the gates. Right out the gates. Well played. All right. Next quote. Try to get from Pasadena to El Segundo during rush hour.
42:33You could fly to... Elon Musk. Wow. Yeah. Real Musk fan in the room right now. Let's not go there. I resent my point. You didn't give us the year. You didn't give us the year. I didn't even get there. Wow. All right. If this continues to move at this pace, we will open it up to a whiteboard round because I did not expect you guys to do. I mean, fast buzzers is a good pace. Slow buzzers is a bad pace. Next quote. This is from 2003 or 2004. I found conflicting results because this is from a leaked DM, but it is confirmed to be real. I just don't know if it was from 2003 or 2004. DMs in 2003. Yeah.
43:09So if you ever need info about anyone at Harvard, just ask. I have over 4 ,000 emails, pictures, social security numbers. People just submitted it. I don't know why. Dumb f***s. Oh my God. Mark Zuckerberg. That was Mark Zuckerberg. You are crazy, bro. Mark Zuckerberg did, in fact, call the entire original universe of Facebook. Dumb f***s. Wow. Social security numbers? Next question. Oh my Lord. There is no chance the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. This is from 2007. That's the whole quote. Ballmer was saying that because the price is too high. That is Steve Ballmer. That is correct.
43:47That was the whole quote. I mean, maybe he said more. That was what I took out of context. He said, developers, developers! Sweats more. This next quote is also from 2024. I think this will be the biggest product ever of any kind, because I think everyone of the 8 billion people on Earth will want one, maybe two, provided we address the risk of digital super intelligence 80 % probably it's not that's you didn't yeah keep going 80 % probability of good look on the bright side the cup is 80 % full market oh that was also Elon yeah it was a couple weeks ago that was Elon waiting till the end is gonna be I was so close yeah can you can we do it and we have to wait till the end and you can still say the whole thing out sure so my only yes yeah it's like the competitive aspect of it is like oh then we're all yeah because if you get it wrong you can't okay well i knew that from the beginning here's another one that i am not looking for the exact uh name i'm just looking for what company they work at building things is way more fun than making things secure and safe until there's a regulatory or a press fire you don't deal with it i mean that sounds like something zuck would say again it's not zuck but it is a meta executive that was former vp of facebook brian boland congrats on your point Oh, we didn't wait.
45:08Oh, because he just wanted the company. Here's one where I am looking for the person. We know where you are. We know where you've been. We can more or less know what you're thinking about. That's from 2010. Sergey Brin. Sergey, it's not. How should we give him that? Wait, hey. Hey, let them delineate. I don't think so I'm sorry David it wasn't Sergei I'm guessing Sundar said that it was not Sundar this is 2010 so I don't believe Sundar was the he was the head of Android back then no he wasn't nevermind I'm not going to be able to buzz so I have no idea he did Chrome it was Sergei's co-founder who was oh I have no idea why am I blanking I know this he stands next to him wearing Google Glass I just need to see his face.
46:05His name is Eric Schmidt. I said it as the guy. All right, we have a few more of these. Should we keep going? That's fair enough. This next quote is from 2008. 2008. It doesn't matter how good or bad the Kindle is. The fact is that people don't read anymore. The whole conception is flawed at the top because people don't read anymore. David. Hold on. mark that there's a timer for a reason i'm gonna say steve jobs that was steve jobs steve jobs did not think people read hilarious dang uh the kindle i was just gonna say bezos because we're talking about yeah but he's the one that makes the kindle yeah no but that doesn't mean i don't know he was probably i thought i was gonna be talking about how his and audiobooks are going to take over the world.
46:58Or audiobooks. Or podcasts. All right, guys. Let's do two more of these, and then I think we'll do a little surprise. This quote is from 2015. 2015. That is nine years ago. Self-driving cars are going to get here much faster than people think. Three or four years, maybe. Not Elon Musk, but this quote was said to Elon Musk at a Vanity Fair forum. By who? That's what I'm asking. Another CEO? At a Vanity Fair forum? Another CEO? I cannot disclose that information. He was an executive C-suite. Yeah, C-suite. Executive where? David. That was a close. That almost got you. Sam Altman. That was Sam Altman.
47:48Way to go, David. Yes, Sam Altman and Elon Musk on stage. um all right let's do one more this is another i'm looking for the company not the executive the company company not the executive uh and if i'm correct this person said this quote in 2016 after they had left this company but they were speaking about their time at this company a lot of folks wanted us to shut it down and most other companies would have done precisely that especially if 10 % of their users threatened to boycott the product. But we didn't. It was actually working. Amidst all the chaos, all the outrage, we noticed something unusual.
48:32Even though everyone claimed they hated it, engagement had doubled. Oh my God. Jack Dorsey? Not Jack Dorsey. I'm sorry. Oh yeah, but I'm looking for the company. The company, sorry. But it's not Twitter. What year is this again? 2015. This was said in 2016, but it was referencing a product that was launched 2010, 2011-ish. Oh, that changed what I was going to say. I said YouTube. Not YouTube. Andrew. Vine. Sorry. David. Facebook. Facebook. That was also in reference to the news feed. Wow. Wow. I can't believe they just said that out loud. She posted that on Facebook in writing. She wrote that.
49:17The news feed is like the first algorithmic feed to take all the heat. And then it worked so well that all the others kind of went, oh, us too. All right, before we go to commercial break, we wanted to make this episode kind of extra interesting. So we lined up a few surprises. The first surprise is about to join us right now. Trivia extraordinaire, Mariah Zank. I knew it. I knew something was happening.
49:58we're all so scared right now i felt the energy shift in this room we all our shoulders just rolled back don't be scared it's fine everything's fine okay setting up straighter Zuckerberg said that this is a tech podcast right sort of well okay so I have a couple questions for you you might be good at tech but how well do you know the studio okay so I have a couple questions for you do you want me to do are these buzzers okay so Ellis and Adam have been tag teaming producing the podcast for almost three years and they're critical to the pod going out on time and making sure that you guys look and sound good.
50:43So with that in mind, well, I do all that work. Someone's got to do it. So what was the podcast episode number that Ellis first worked on when he started here? Oh, God. Okay. Let's see. David. One. Twenty one. Wait, there are so many options. Whoever is the closest. Oh, OK.
51:12164 I don't know if it was even over 100 I shouldn't say that out loud Marquez well 100 but I think it's lower but I'm using that as my Price is Right guess these are not Price is Right rules yeah it's just Delta so I guess under David's guess yeah I think it's way lower I don't think it's under 100 so actually David was the closest I think It was episode 116 is when he started. Wow. Epic. What did you guess? You were really close. 121. Wow, that's actually pretty good. Pretty good. Dang. He knows me. Wow. That's right. Well done. So that's a little taste of what's to come. So our next question is, Mark has did a video saying yes to everything in his inbox, and we've had a red casket sitting in our office for almost two years exactly to when this podcast episode will air.
52:05Wow. Which is crazy. Zuri has thoughts on this as well So my question for you is What is the MSRP For the Titan Orion Series Casket? This is also closest $500 Andrew Oh$1 ,200 Marquez $1 ,201 It's over all of them It's like$1 ,599 or something I think So technically Marquez is the closest I don't know if it went up in price over years But when I checked the other day it was$1 ,500 to steal. I thought it was way cheaper. $500 is extremely cheap. Dude, just bury me in the ground. Why do I even need a thing to be in? They have a cardboard one you can do. Yeah. So my next question for you is probably my favorite question.
52:57The studio has a beloved five-star restaurant inside of our office building that Marquez and Rich just can't get enough of. My question for you is how much does the chicken euro bowl cost at the bistro? $10. Andrew. Well, okay. Is it on the menu or what you get charged? If I pay with card, I believe it's$11 and I think he adds an extra dollar in for the card. I get a P. $12. These are the final guesses? Yeah. Andrew, you're spot on. I have a picture of the menu from God knows when, and it says$11. Yeah, but they usually just charge me a random number. I think they close their eyes. And they just pick something.
53:40Also, I'm pretty sure I paid$12 for that. By the time this episode is out, the Bistro will be no more. In memory. Which is very sad. This is true. Is this the last? Salute to the Bistro. This week is. Pour one out for the Bistro. And this comes out next week also. Wow. All right, guys. Thank you, Mariah, for joining us, providing us some excellent questions. I'm sure she'll be back for future trivia but in the meantime we're going to take it to commercial break after this break we're going to be back with our audio round, a few more questions here and there, a few more surprises and then we'll find out who is the ultimate trivia victor we'll be right back

56:05Welcome back to Trivia Extravaganza!
56:12Wow. I'm your host, Alice, and I'm here with my co-host, Adam, and our scorekeeper, Eric. and we're ready to deliver you the final round of trivia. But first, an update on our score. Yes, please. Triple points. I feel like it's probably pretty close. I've been dwindling my lead away. I'm behind. I'm definitely behind. Gentlemen, this has been quite interesting. David started off a little weak, but he's got the sauce. All right. David has 15 points so far for this game. Okay. Andrew struggling a bit struggling a bit we're only on 12 12 okay I'm 12 Marquez has 19 points what you guys gave him the YouTube round yeah the YouTube one I don't think Marquez got he only got like maybe one or two he got one wrong yeah so yeah do like a panoramic trivia aspect ratio all right 14 by 8 guys it's time to get to our fan favorite oh the audio round oh yeah brother i love this is this audio or not audio i like true dude i like uh the waveform i i wanted i ran out of time when i was like building this show but i wanted so hard to build an intro that had the uh like it was in verizon that's like can you hear me now because it's the audio round.
57:44Clever, clever, clever. All right, so guys, as you know, this is our third or fourth audio round. I'm running out of sounds. I'm seriously running out. So for this one, I'm not looking for devices. I'm looking for the brand, the IP. So don't say this is the Nokia 710. Be like, this is Nokia. Don't say this is... The BlackBerry Priv. Yeah, I just want the most generic, broad thing. thing that you can ascribe. Is audio. So, first sound. Are you ready, guys? Yep. Goodbye. Oh. This really isn't buzzer? No. Dang. You guys saw me writing, didn't you? You wrote pretty fast. That was fast. Really fast.
58:32They saw my thing. All right. Flip them. I didn't see what you wrote. All three of you put the same thing. AOL. Oh. That is correct. Also, the actor who said that. just died just passed away this year or prior year like a few days a few days this year it was this r.i.p all all of us just got that aol like sounds and aim sounds are just stuck in i know they were that yeah we could talk about this for a long time all right next one
59:11what do we got oh windows windows is correct that is the famed windows xp error sound windows xp error sound only xp only x uh maybe it's future ones but i know it is the xp error sound um again have not used windows since xp uh actually that's not true i did own a windows 8 computer, which might explain why I hate it so much. Yeah. Anyway, next sound.
59:47What do we got? That's more than one thing, but I'm gonna go with what it's supposed to be. Yes. All three correct. iPhone keyboard. That is the iPhone keyboard. Wow, you guys are... It is also incredibly close to the Rivian blinker sound. Really? That's so funny. Incredibly close. Except the volume's 10 times lower on the Rivian. So I'm pretty sure that the way they made that sound is they dropped ping pong balls on a table and then used a really intense compressor to, like, make it... Anyway, we're only getting harder from here, folks. Okay. We're in the jungle. We've all gotten all of them right so far.
1:00:23Exactly. Well, let's see if that changes with this one.
1:00:30That sounds like the beginning of a song. Can I say something? Yes, you can say something. Whoever was leaving the test thing yesterday said something out loud. And I think I have. Oh, who was it? Out them. Who was it? Thanks for owning it. Who said it? I don't want to out anybody. Say it. Who said it? We're all talking to each other. So I think it was Harper. Harper. Okay, we can skip this one. No, this is my favorite one. I can't believe this one got ruined. I'll sit this one out and be okay with it. But you're the only one. But he heard it. I had this one for you, bro. I'm going to be really mad if.
1:01:06Really? Yeah. You're the one that was like, Andrew's going to know this sound. Maybe. Okay, flip it. I might be thinking of the wrong thing. Play it again.
1:01:16What the heck? I think that's what I'm thinking of, and I think I'll only remember it because... Marquez, what did you put? I want you to pull this up because this is not what you are thinking of. What does that say? But if you pull up that song by Nelly... It's the heart of a champion. If you pull up the heart of a champion by Nelly, just play the first one second of the heart of a champion by Nelly. We won't be able to put this in the episode for copyright reasons, but you will get my reaction.
1:01:44Wow. That is so funny. oh my god how did you get that it's the one note challenge I think we'll be able to put that in the episode let's just play them back to back so here is the my sound and here is the Nelly song
1:02:08how many times have you listened to Nelly's sweat album no no no it was in the Florida like 2010 National Championship Ultimate Frisbee highlight Florida vs. Carlton That's what he's talking about Like Carlton in Minnesota? Yeah The one Harper went to Yeah, the college for the person who ruined this question David, what did you put? I put Thriller by Michael Jackson That is incorrect Andrew, please guess Was it Trivia HQ? No Oh, that's what I heard people talking about No, no, there are no Trivia HQ sounds Okay, good, then no one ruined anything Guys, that is the sound that plays when you land a sick trick in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.
1:02:49You're right. That's cool. Okay, cool. That's a cool sound. Actually, it's the sound from Nelly. Sampled by none other than that. That is so funny. No, realistically, so that, like, most keyboards have a preset called orchestral hit, and they'll sound slightly different brand to brand, but those are both the orchestral hit presets. Can you play Thriller? That one I'm not going to test. Next sound. Ready, boys?
1:03:23That was a long sound. Wow. Don't know that one. I'm guessing you have to be specific with it too. No, generic. Even generically, I don't know this one. I guessed, but... It sounded like a certain type of sound. It did. David looks confident. You know this one? I'm not confident. Oh. I'm taking a wild guess.
1:03:54Blackberry. I wrote Xbox. Oh, wow. The OG one, though? The OG one. That is the OG Xbox sound. Because I wrote Atari. Well, I'm assuming it was that long because that's how long it took those guys to load. Yeah, when he says it's long, I was like, well, you know. All right. The PSD is like. The PS2 is the best one. Yeah, PS2 one is amazing. I never own any. I'm just going to play it because I just think it's so great. It gives me tingles in the back. I would have guessed Sega if I heard this. We've done this one on a previous audio round. It's so good. Every time I booted that thing up, I was like, I'm about to have fun.
1:04:40Oh, my gosh. The PS3 one is also... And then the disc gets messed up. Error. All right, next sound. Oh.
1:04:56Dude. God, that timpani in the background is pretty... That's crazy. It's really cut off.
1:05:17One more. One more hit. One more hit. No, I have no idea. They really stopped that timpani too early. Oh, that's interesting because I was thinking, okay, you put AIM, A message. I put AT &T. I started writing T-Mobile and then I crossed out and wrote Sprint. No, unfortunately, that is the MSN Messenger sound. Microsoft Messenger. MSN Messenger. Wait, is AIM not made by Microsoft? No, AIM is made by AOL. AOL is Messenger. I never had AIM. Really? Yeah, yeah. Alright, we got three, four more sounds. You guys ready? Yeah. Next one. We've all gotten these all wrong. Except the Xbox one. Yeah. Wow.
1:06:00I didn't mean to make this this hard. Although this one, I can say with confidence, none of you are kidding. Can you play music?
1:06:12This is a sound from my childhood that is just burned into my brain. One more time.
1:06:25What do you consider your childhood? I'm thinking of something, but I feel like it's way newer than your childhood. I am 12.
1:06:36Oh. Was it? Oh. Mm.
1:06:47I finally remember the name.
1:06:52David, what does that say? Game Gear. What is Game Gear? I guess I got it wrong. What is that? It's a handheld. Oh. Yeah. I never had it. I wrote Club Penguin. That's just your childhood. That is my childhood. I wrote a flip camera. No, but I did own that product. That was my first tech product. actually a lot of people's that was a really good product did you guys watch the documentary about flip cams recently oh no was it like a youtube documentary yeah i think i did yeah he he was the guy that ended up starting um please be a good thing please uh food chain melt oh that's not bad the food the restaurant melt flip was killer those things are awesome those things were awesome okay That was the sound that went along with the startup animation for Virgin Mobile phones running Android.
1:07:45It's not Boost Mobile? Yeah, that was before Virgin was acquired by Boost Mobile. RIP Virgin Mobile. Kurt McMaster. You did everything for me, and I loved you for it. And you also got me teased. A lot. Next sound. That's what they called me. Uh-oh. I know this. Oh no. Right? One more time.
1:08:16And I'm not even the kind of guy that should know this. I think I'm God, but I don't... I can't tell. David? David is not the kind of guy that should know this. Thank you, Alice. Yeah, because it's a sports... Oh no. Sports? It's the 76ers. This is really funny because when we added this one, Adam literally said to me, Yeah, Marquez is definitely going to get this. Andrew's a maybe. David's not going to get this. Oh, then I'm definitely wrong. He's the opposite right now. Okay, I'm definitely wrong. Flip him and read. SportsCenter. That is correct, David. Oh, my goodness. Terrific. That was the SportsCenter jingle from 95 to 07.
1:08:56What did you put, Marquez? Oh, I wrote ESPN. No, that's ESPN SportsCenter. But I put the exact thing. That's impressive. And we're very proud of you. It's really. you just guessed no you do it instantly so David how do you know you don't watch sports I don't even know what sports center is so how did you know that I hear that sound and it just burn into my brain as the sports center sound that's incredible that is that's good branding yeah so if you if you wrote the sports center sound just know it is so effective someone who can someone who two weeks ago did not know the difference between baseball and basketball knows what sports center is You thought the World Series was a basketball thing.
1:09:39No, I didn't. Yes, you did. There's a 4K camera pointed at you as you guess that. I was probably joking. All right, next one. Anyway, I'm a dumbass. Oh, do it again. Oh my God, that's amazing. Isn't it amazing? That's a gray sound. That resonance in the beginning? No idea. Maybe you do.
1:10:07I'm going to try. Wait, what have you written for the last one? Intel. I didn't even address that. I'm sorry. Now, what is the Intel one? We've done it before. Yeah. Oh, God. That one is so good, too. Yeah, I would know. I'm probably wrong. What do we got, guys? These boards? No. I think it's a Wii. A Wii sound. You're close. But you're wrong. I wrote Palm Pilot. No. PSB. Is it a Nintendo product? Wii U. The GameCube. I got too specific. So when you don't put a disc in and it opens on the cube and all the console settings are on that cube, when you rotate from one of the sides back to the center, that sound plays.
1:10:53Do it again. Wow. I know. I'm more used to... Yes. That's the boot. if you held a specific button the kids laughed it was kind of weird oh I remember guys this is our last sound before we move on to our final category and I just want to say if you get this one right you win the game you are both a complete degenerate and a winner you're like me because I would be able to recognize this sound literally anywhere Zune HD
1:11:36Those beeps are being played in an exact melody. It is not random beeps. Those are very precise, exact beeps.
1:11:50David, do you have an answer? I see your co-hosts both have answers. Yeah. All right. I didn't write it yet, though. I haven't, though. Please do. Okay. what is it called the thing sorry I know what I'm trying I can see it in my head
1:12:14I'm sorry Dave I'm gonna give you a shorter timer to keep it going can I draw it wait I remember what it's called walkie talkie walkie talkie that's your answer Marquez fast food checkout sound I know I said broad but that is a little incorrect and too broad McDonald's that is the McDonald's french fry deep fryer yes if you eat as much McDonald's as Andrew and I you know that sound that is the sound that the deep fryers make you know what's funny is I've heard that sound in McDonald's a lot of times and I just assumed it was I did not know what it was but that was McDonald's you know what's funny I thought that was sound from an emergency room and that kind of makes sense.
1:13:00No, it's funny. Wow. Totally fair. Everyone I played that to either goes I've never heard this in my life or they go McDonald's. Anyway, that's it for our audio round. We have one more little set of questions and I'm going to pass it off to my co-host. Next segment, this one is just all science questions. Could go either way. Okay. First question. Which organ is responsible for producing enzymes for digestion and insulin? Please write on your whiteboards. For digestion and insulin. Oh, enzymes. Producing enzymes. Yes, producing enzymes. Andrew is done. David is done. Marquez is still thinking.
1:13:52Producing enzymes for digestion and insulin? Yes. It also produces insulin? Yes. Quick, quick, quick. I wrote something. Flip him and read. What do you got? I wrote pancreas. Correct. I also wrote pancreas. Correct. David. I wrote liver. Wrong. But. So this is. Why'd you draw a research? This is a little embarrassing. All right. We were so sure. We were so 100 % sure that one of you guys was going to put kidneys that we actually talked to Dr. Mike who sent in a video of him explaining why it's not kidneys. I'm going to play that for you now. It's actually not kidneys. It is the pancreas. More specifically, if we zoom in, it's the beta cells of the pancreas that produce insulin.
1:14:47And what's interesting is if you have type 2 diabetes or develop type 2 diabetes, it happens usually through two mechanisms. Mechanism one is insulin resistance, where you have so much insulin, your body doesn't act as reactive as it usually does to it. And the second mechanism is through beta cell burnout or beta cell dysfunction, where those beta cells aren't making enough insulin. Thank you. That's what I would have written. That's why I wrote pancreas, Mike. That's why I wrote pancreas. Thank you to Dr. Mike. I actually wrote the script for that for him. But I just wanted to make it seem like you guys didn't know.
1:15:21Well, he'll be proud of us. but yeah I guess he will be part of us I feel so silly we were so sure that we anyway thank you Dr. Mike for participating if you guys Dr. Mike is one of our favorite places on the internet to get evidence based health information and so go check out his channel and we know you like Dr. Mike because did you guys know that Dr. Mike's interview episode is the fifth highest performing episode of waveform of all time it's slowly just been crawling crazy so again thanks Dr. Mike we love you a lot. Next question. We all know that water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. That's right.
1:15:58At what temperature does it boil in Fahrenheit? Oh yeah, you got it. Farron. Low. I know a whole bunch of Fahrenheit numbers. Fahrenheit width. I know a bunch of Fahrenheit numbers. One. Two. Fahrenheit 451 is titled that because that's the temperature that fire burns paper. I did not know that. Did they set fire to a bunch of books in that? Flip them and read What do we got? Oh wait David why don't you go first You just flipped it around And then quickly flipped it back to hide your answer What did you put? A very specific set of skills I didn't go to medical school Medical school Look I don't have to say this out loud I put 174 wrong I'm sorry Andrew Marquez what did you guys put we wrote 212 I grew up in the forest all you had to do was like strike rocks together David no one's gonna be mad at you for getting Fahrenheit wrong I can promise you that I don't know Fahrenheit no one cares about 212 yeah that makes sense how many moons does Jupiter have oh yeah where's my super suit This one I'm gonna do prices right rules closest without going over just to switch things up
1:17:28That makes me feel a little better because I don't think he's as confident What are we doing? What are we doing the like seven points at once round we can make this one worth seven points Not this one flip him and read what do we got oh god, I hope I'm not oh actually I might be in a good spot 40 I think it's over 40. I put seven wrong am I over though? wrong I put 40 wrong but closest the correct answer is 95 95? oh I was way off are you sure those aren't just rocks? I mean seriously I mean you're not wrong these are all still technically very debated the term of moon but this is the most recent one that the International Astronomical Union has agreed on 95 moons did any of you guys get the video of like i took every galaxy and filled a swimming pool with it i i got it from you it's really it's this crazy animated video where this guy basically like to show how many galaxies there are in the universe makes each galaxy the size of like a piece of cereal then stands in a pool and lets the cereal fall onto him to represent it i don't want to spoil anything but go watch it it's really yeah it's pretty cool i forgot what did he do with all the cereal after it's animated oh so he just Probably put it in the trash can and emptied it.
1:18:48Okay. Or you uploaded it to YouTube? I would hope you did that first. Friend of the pod, Mark Rober, famously worked at JPL and helped work on what rover that is currently hanging out on Mars? The Mark Rover. Wait, Mark Rober worked on the Mars Rover? One of them, yes. There's no shot. The JPL, like, got the rover. Wait, Mark Rober worked on the Mars Rover? Also, I was just going to put Mars. So I don't know that they had names. The Rovers? Yeah, they have names. Fun names. Yeah, John, Paul, George, and Ringo. And the fifth beetle. Flip Moon Reed, what do you got? Curiosity. God damn it. I wrote Red Rover.
1:19:39It was, in fact, Curiosity. so David and Marquez get the point. Who cares? Google does that for me. David and Marquez both said curiosity. You both get the point but did you know that there are six main elements that make up the building blocks of life? They are carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and what? Say it again. Carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, sulfur and what other element make up the six main building blocks of life?
1:20:15David is staring deeply into Ellis' eyes Because there's two options I've been thinking about My left eye and my right eye
1:20:25Just gonna stick with it Flip them and read What do you got? I knew it I hope that's not right I put oxygen Correct Andrew what did you put? I put McDonald's I also put oxygen Alright I just want to say I'm with Andrew on this one Do you know like in Quiplash you can get the audience like funny points? That's what I was going for on that one This one, I'll make it worth two points 200 points Just cause DNA is made of compounds called nucleotides which are commonly referred to by one letter There are four different nucleotides that make up DNA on Earth, what letters do we use to represent them?
1:21:14Let's make this one four points, one per letter. Wait, like the string of like, we coded DNA? Yes. Okay. Oh, God. Oh, what is the four letters? Four letters. So we can just guess four letters. Yeah, but there's a... That does give you like a one in 6.2 or 3 chance. It's better than what I have if I have to just name them. McDonald's. Dang it. I'm mad. I don't know it. Chris. Marquez? I wrote C-R-I-S. You're thinking of CRISPR. Marquez, that gives you 1.C is one of the letters. I wrote R-D-A-M. You also got 1.A is one of those letters. I wrote NHRA You get one letter That's A again You know what the NHRA is?
1:22:15No Then I won't even say it What is it? What is it? Oh the National Hot Rod Association Yeah it totally is Yeah totally Cool Yeah and my blood Incredible Yeah Okay We all got one point though? The other three were G, T, and C Have you ever needed to remember this in the future? Yeah Or you can remember GTA 100 when they eventually get to like GTA C. Grand Theft Auto 100. May I read the next one? I haven't been in school in a long time. No, you're taking those online courses right now. Yeah, about light metering. Precision light metering. That's what the next category is about. Yeah. The correct application of a spot meter versus a more traditional light.
1:23:00I'm just kidding, David. I'm sorry.
1:23:04The Drake equation has to do with A. The amount of light that hits the eye when it goes through a prism. B. An equation used to estimate the number of active, communicative extraterrestrial civilizations in our galaxy. C. The number of transistors that can theoretically be put on a one-by-one-inch wafer of silicon. Or D. A mathematical formula capable of calculating in milliseconds exactly when that hotline bling. What? Uh-oh. Nice. That was funny. I would have put D if you didn't say that.
1:23:51Andrew, you're looking a little stressed over there. What is A again? The amount of light that hits the eye when it goes through a prism.
1:24:06Marquez? I put C. That is incorrect. I'm sorry. I also put C. That is also incorrect. I put B. That is correct. The Drake equation is about aliens. Scientific God over here. That's cool. You guys ready for the last question? Yeah. How many is this worth? How many do you want it to be worth? 200. How about you guys? I think we're pretty close. You guys decide amongst you how much you want it to be. Without knowing the scores? without knowing the scores. You want this to be worth 10 points. I think three could literally swing it. Yeah, easily. Could three swing it? I'm not going to answer that. I think three is...
1:24:40In my favor. Negative five. We don't know the topic. This isn't like Final Jeopardy. We know the topic. It's science. Oh, it's still science? It's still science. Oh, man. All right. Yeah, three. Three points? I think three is a good line. I don't want it to be three, but we can do it. I'll do three. Wait, can I still... Can I win if I get it? I can't tell you that answer. I'm just going to pre-write McDonald's next question the boiling point of oxygen is negative 183 degrees celsius what happens to it below that temperature
1:25:17what happens to oxygen below negative 183 degrees celsius
1:25:28this is three points three points i feel like it's too easy to beat three points but let's see wait you don't like how we run our game no i like it now wait no that was the bad i guess we should all probably change this flip it and read what do you got david what i don't know what you wrote it boils he said it boils i know i thought about that later what did you put freezes incorrect yeah what happens solid so you think it solid boils i don't know i almost put hard guys guys marquez what's the answer underneath okay let's Let's say it's water. Underneath the boiling point of water, what is it?
1:26:13Liquid. Yeah, it's liquid. Correct. Three points to oxygen. Oh, my God. To oxygen. Three points to Marquez for oxygen. If you could give me five more seconds, I would have gotten that. All right, guys. It's time to turn it over to Eric. I want to know what temperature oxygen is.
1:26:34We're going to turn it over to Eric, and he is going to read hard. That's gotta be so cold.
1:26:44Alright, we're gonna turn it over to Eric, and he's gonna let you guys know your final scores. No, come on. What? Come on, what? We need more questions. Mark has one. I think we proved, David, we're at the end of our question answering a building this year. I was just thinking about It being oxygen, not it being anything. I could not imagine what oxygen would be like if it wasn't hard. The fact that you called it boiling confused me in the first place. Okay. All right. I have to say, one of you, your final score was only three points away from the winner. Three points could have decided this. At 23 points for the round and 48 points total for the season, we have David Amell.
1:27:34Oh, no. At 20 points for the round, so less than David, but 51 points for the full season. Crap. We have Andrew. Marquez pulled that out at the end. The last question. And at 32 points, we have 54 points total for the season for Marquez.
1:28:03Marquez, we have something for you For the first time in waveform history We would like to present you with the first ever Podman's Cup That's right, you are now in possession of the Podman's Cup Until the next trivia extravaganza Where you will pass it off to the next winner You may have noticed that the Podman's Cup Is slightly styled after the NBA Cup With a microphone sticking out of it With a beautiful decal that says What on it shut up ellis it says say shut up ellis that is correct contestants thank you for playing marquez andrew david great game congratulations to our winner marquez we will be back with a normal episode on friday it's not normal we will be back that's so right we will be back with a very not normal episode on friday david would you like to tell them what it is back long ago about three and a half years ago or something at some point in time we when we were still an audio only episode before you could see how dumb we look.
1:29:03We did a special episode called the Rise and Fall it was called Boosted to Busted, the Rise and Fall of Boosted Boards. Because it was all audio only, a lot of people have not heard it. One of my favorite episodes. It's very fun. It has a lot of special guests. And we're going to be playing that on the YouTube channel with some waveforms, you know, to kind of show, you know, so you can look at stuff while you listen to stuff. And it's going to be good. But we're going to because we're off for Thanksgiving. So eat some turkey, listen to some waveform and figure out what happened to Boosted Board.
1:29:34It's a good episode. We're rerunning it for a reason. I think it's one of our best ever and the fact that it wasn't a video episode is a shame but you guys should still enjoy it. It's really fun. Just imagine it in your head. That's what listening is for. Alright, well on that note thank you for sticking around everybody and see you Friday. Goodbye. Peace. Score update 0-0-0. who do you see that waveform is produced by Adam Molina Ellis Roven and thank you to Eric for helping out with this episode we were partnered with Vox Media Podcast and Mariah and Mariah we were partnered with Vox Media Podcast and our interaction music was created by Vane Still and all that other stuff was Epidemic Sound Ellis yeah bingo all the sound provided by Epidemic Sound and Lighting Design by me
