Ladled with Eight Exclamation Points!

Welcome to another edition of the Speaking of Tangents Podcast, where we take an in-depth and serious look at the social, economic, political, and religious issues facing our world today. Now I'm just kidding, this is a bunch of random nonsense. I'm Jason. And I'm KJ.

And in this episode, we'll find out where the world KJ was this week. We discussed the results of Jason's Coke Pepsi Blind Taste Test. Well, kinda so. We tell some ghost stories.

Yeah, I mean, it is almost Halloween. And then we'll play some more pronunciation games before we get into an extended quiz section. Then find out if we have a guest, when we play, do we have a guest? And later, our resident fantasy football expert, Robert Berg, joins us to review the week's highlights.

Or the likes. And finally, we'll wrap up the show today with our recommendations, feedback, and of course, more ridiculous Amazon reviews for me to ramble on about. All that, plus several conversational tensions. Oh, and speaking of tangents, I ever told you about the time I met Jackie Stewart, the famous British Formula One driver?

Very nice guy, and sneaky short. Well, not really sneaky short, but just like regular short, because you know we have to be short on a V- In a week, things happen. Yes they do. And now we'll review.

Yes we will. Those things that happen. The things that happen. The things that happens.

The speaking of tangents. Week in review. And speaking of things that happen this week, I had a very exciting weekend. Well, actually a very exciting Sunday.

Cool. I went to Sunday's writer club. Oh, very nice. Yeah, at Hazeletine National in Chaska.

Chaska's all about 25 minutes southwest of Minneapolis. A beautiful course. I guess it kind of has to be in order to be picked for one of these events. But you know, it's just got a lot of old trees on it.

It's just pretty. I've been there once before for the 09 PGA Championship. So I kind of knew what the layout was. And that year YE Yang won.

And he beat Tiger Woods. I think it was by three strokes. And I think, you know, I'm not going to fact check this, but I think that was the first time that Tiger was ever beaten when leading after 54 holes. Oh, that is a big deal.

Yeah. And that was a few months before the infamous Thanksgiving day, hoopla in Florida. The beginning of the end. The beginning of his demise, yes.

And well, not the beginning, when it actually surfaced. You know, yep. And you know, at the PGA, there were a lot of people, but it was nothing compared to this. I don't really think I could begin to describe what it was like to be there, just from the sheer number of people to the crazy outfits they were wearing, rock is cheering, absolutely perfect weather conditions.

I am just so happy that it wasn't like the first week in October could be in Minnesota. Because otherwise, if it was, we would have heard what an awful choice Minnesota was and why would they pick Minnesota and it's so cold and rainy and miserable? Because it definitely could have been that way. But I'm talking perfect.

Like, you go there with a sweatshirt on in the morning and then you eventually, you know, by 11, 12, it's time to take it off and you're in shorts and a t-shirt and it's like mid-70s and it's not warm enough so that you sweat so that later you have to put the sweatshirt back on because you got the chills. It was just absolutely perfect. But you know, there were stupid and lewd fans, of course. I mean, when you mix 50,000 people with loads of alcohol, I think you're going to get that anyway, you go and you just can't avoid that.

I saw on Twitter several people tweeting about how, you know, rowdy and people were getting thrown out, at least one guy, throwing out for yelling at Rory. And I said something really rude. Was that guy with you? Is that what that was?

No, he wasn't with me. In fact, I didn't even know he got kicked out until Anita in Alaska told me. Oh. Because she tweeted something like, don't get kicked out today or something.

Like somebody did with Rory. But I mean, I think just the level of play and the way the players stepped up and played off each other, it just made the tournament a huge success. And one thing that always amazes me about golf is how people rarely scream when they shouldn't, like before the swing or before the pod, and especially at this tournament with these rowdy folks. I mean, deep down people know the rules and the ed get a golf.

But most of the fans were good. And if you were there watching on TV, you kind of saw how great some of those matches were and how the players were taunting each other in a friendly way. Like the crowd fed off of that. And they were also kind of exchanging friendly banter coming up with all sorts of chants.

Yeah, I saw that guy come out of the crowd and make that putt. I don't know the back story on that. I think it was something that some of the guys on the European team, is that what they're called? Yeah, they were missing the putt or something.

We're working on reading a green practice session when it and this guy just banned came out and made a putt. Yes, the practice session. I think it was Justin Rose and Rory McElroy. Yeah.

And he was taunting them. Like I can make that putt because they missed it like four or five times in a row, the same spot. And they said, come on out here and you make it. And this guy from, I guess he was an insurance salesman from North Dakota just came out there and sunk the putt.

Insurance. Insurance, yes. Speaking of insurance, you have the updates now. But yeah, that was a fabulous way to kick off the tournament because it was a practice round.

That's very cool. I mean, that's like a story that guy will tell the rest of his life. Oh, yeah. I mean, he was making the circuit.

Like the today's show wanted him all kinds of people wanted him. I didn't know that. Now he hit it a ton. If he didn't hit the back of the cup, that ball was off the practice screen.

That was gone. Yeah, it was so he got a little bit lucky, but what what pressure to get up there and I just and Rose put $100 bill right next to the ball. Whoa, I didn't see that for. Yeah, he laid out $100 bill and the guy just sunk it.

So I was impressed. I thought that was fabulous. That's like Babe Ruth calling your shot there. Yep.

Yep. So I want to some of these chants. Have you ever heard? I really think at least for me, the origin of this chant is from the Yankees fans who will always go, Derek Jeter.

Yeah, the cadence of that. That seems I don't know if it was anywhere before that, but that's what it reminds me of. Yeah. So they were doing that and I'm sure it was other players, but the ones that we were saying, Derek Jeter?

No. Good question. They were saying Patrick Reed over and over again. I'm sure they were doing other players.

So there was. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Reed is not too.

Well, they made it to syllables. Are you sure that these people weren't really drunk? You said alcohol was involved. Patrick Reed, not bad.

Not bad. I give it to you. And then this one I did look up the origin because I don't know where it came from and I was kind of interested. You've heard this chant.

I believe that we will win. I believe that we will win. Have you heard that one? That one I've never heard of, but it sounds like a song.

Well, it goes back to a Naval Academy prep school student. Oh, yeah, I would have gotten this from 1998. He was somebody asking to invent a cheer for a 50 member platoon and he invented that and it spread like a wildfire. I mean, I think they were using it in the 2014 US Soccer World Cup.

Wow. I've never heard that one. Yeah. So I love that kind of that.

It just started like that. So anyway, there was a lot of that. And then of course, my favorite is the. Oh, that's what the Europeans were doing.

Is that like a European soccer one? I think it must be European soccer. Yeah. That sounds like something to you here to soccer.

Yeah. And it was all over the course all the time. Of course, the the comeback or the answer to that, but from the United States fans was USA, USA. Well, this just in one of those chances way better than the other.

Well, yeah, I think we know which one. Yeah. It's like, come on, let's come up with a more creative. So this is kind of like an Olympic or like World Cup, soccer World Cup or football World Cup.

It's like, and I never knew that about the Radico. Yes. And you know, the Masters has that phrase that Jim Nance coined a tradition unlike any other. Yeah.

Well, I would have to say that the Ryder Cup is a sporting event unlike any other, at least that I think it was cool. Cool. It was great. And the last chant that I really liked was the European team.

Of course, the European teams were coming up with songs for every player and new lyrics kind of like jingles. And one of them was the you are my sunshine and I love my Sergio da da da da da da. And then at the end they'd say, please don't take my Sergio away. And he.

So play it. Oh, he was he was money. He played really well. Well, cool.

He and Phil Mickelson's match. I think Phil won Phil had 10 birdies and I think Sergio had eight against it. Pretty good. Yeah.

That's really good. So, but he acknowledged the crowd when who when he came up this was on the 15th green. He came up they were doing that cheer. He gave him the thumbs up and he made that little heart symbol with his hand to his chest.

So you don't see that in golf. It was just it was just a great. Fabulous event. I pictured that the players were even more relaxed and more relaxed but more free to be themselves.

Oh, they look like they were. Yeah, they look like they were having a blast. That's good. They should play with that all the time.

And they were taunting each other like you've heard about Rory and Patrick. They were just going back and forth and just, you know, taunting each other but in a good way. Yeah, friendly, you know, good nature taunting. Yeah.

It makes every sporting event or competition better. Absolutely. And you know quizzes. Yes.

Definitely. And you know what to top that all off I was able to meet up with Jolene Mochik. Oh, cool. Fellow TK Little and you know she set the speed back on this show and that was just really extra special.

We didn't get to chat long but it was really great to meet her. She was very sweet. Nice. Nice from the TK Little's group is whether I screened LaChaserie.

Yes, that was my only question. Yeah. In fact, several days before I even went, Sean Morrissey at Sean underscore Morrissey tweeted, I hope this week in review includes KJ shouting out LaChaserie at the writer co. So yes, Sean, you wanted to know if I screamed LaChaserie.

I actually did four times actually. Wow. Yeah. So unless you're lucky enough to have tickets to like the sponsors tents where you get free food beverages all day and private decks where you can stand and watch the action pretty much unobstructed.

There's unless you have that, which I didn't, we had grounds tickets, but there's a certain strategy of where you're going to go to make sure you see something. And we learned pretty quickly that we're tournament rookies. Lots of people brought camping chairs or like even smaller chairs that they sold there with the hazel team logo on it and they put these chairs down in, you know, first row in front of the greens or and then their spots were like somehow magically saved. It was sort of like a parade, you know, you put your chair down and they go somewhere else, maybe near the front of the course, like the first couple of holes and then they go to the end and put their chairs where they at 17 or 16 or 15, whatever, some whole near the end so that they could see the players twice and get a front row seat at both destinations.

So I was both surprised and a little bit annoyed and not annoyed enough not to try it at the next tournament. I was getting ready to say is that now you're playing next time or. Yeah, but I couldn't believe that people, especially all the drunk people didn't just kick the chairs out of the way when no one was there. So because we didn't have a special spot, we just had grounds tickets.

You can go wherever you want on the course. That's obviously not gated off or whatever. The grandstands are always a huge hit and we never actually got into any grandstands. The lines were ridiculous.

So we left that. So we knew we could we didn't want to wait that long. So we went to the merchandise tent and we just hung around and so then finally we said, okay, we need to go find this one. So we ended up right on the ropes whole four.

It's a par three 210 yards. So if you're standing on the T box looking at the green, we were on the left side of the T box right on the ropes directly in line with the players T box, the tips, if you will. Yeah, but the way the hole is shaped and all and with all the huge trees on both sides of the fairway, we couldn't see the green. So basically you're just seeing the T shot and that's it.

But this was our best chance to shout the chiserie and be heard. And I mean that takes advantage. That takes person. That does.

I'm not sure the person to whom I'm really married, you agreed, but we quickly figured out that we probably picked the wrong side of the T box because everybody was right handed. So they put the microphones on the right hand side. So here are the groups that we watched match one, Rory McElroy versus Patrick Reed, which we already know is the classic match, the one that kind of summed it all up. So we screamed after Patrick's T shot.

I was DMing with Anita because she was watching it and I told her that we just did it. Oh, cool. So you could you had a way to say to tell if somebody actually heard it on TV. Correct.

So there's about a two to three minutes away. So I had to I was kind of waiting and though she said, no, didn't hear you. We were surprised because we just tweeted at the top of our lungs. So we're like, all right, we'll try it once more, but that's it.

So match two, Henry Stenson versus Jordan speech. We screamed it after speech. DM Anita, no dice. So we decided, okay, we're just going to watch maybe through the match six, which is Sergio and Phil Mickelson and then we're moving.

We watched a couple more matches. One was Justin Rose, Ricky Fowler. By the way, Rory McElroy and Ricky Fowler are sneaky short. I mean, little guys.

Yeah, I knew Rory was short. I didn't know for Ricky Fowler was short too. Yeah, really, really small. And then we realized that Phil, he's left hand golfer.

He's going to be coming up there soon. So maybe they'll bring the mics by us. Well, that's what they did. So we like, okay, we're going to give this one more shot.

So after Phil tees off, we scream at top of our lungs. Phil's wife and his entourage, they turn around and give us a stare down. So we thought, okay, this is the one. So DM Anita and I tell her, okay, I did it one more time.

We did it one more time after Phil. And she, DM's me back. They didn't show Phil's tee shot on four on NBC. Are you kidding me?

That was the best chance we had. So let me forget this. So anyway, we moved, finally we found a spot on the 15th rain behind two saved rows of chairs. Nobody was in the chairs, of course.

But we stood behind the second row of chairs and we just hoped, is anybody going to, are they going to stay seated or are they going to stand? Okay, let's gamble that they're going to stay seated. And we got extremely lucky that the people in front of us stayed seated. And we got to see an unobstructed view for 11 out of 12 groups.

So we got pretty lucky in that regard. We got to 15 just in time, it started filling in. There's probably 20, 20 rows deep by the time the players started coming through there. But we waited there an hour with no golf.

I mean, we could see it out. There was a jumble-tron there. So we were able to watch it and we had radios that you could purchase so we could listen to it. So we kind of knew what was going on and the crowd knew and everybody was cheering together.

But we decided one more chance. So we, we screamed it after the 15th, after Dustin Johnson's put on 15. And that was a lot more intimidating because there's a lot more people around the green. But we did it and Anita said, yeah, she basically said, meh, it's, it's very faint.

But she did hear it at least. She heard something. You kind of have to will it to hear it. But she sent me the video and I do have video of a very faint, easily.

You can kind of hear the, easily part. Now, were other people yelling? Is that what it was? Yes, it turns out it's pretty.

So people are cheering? Yeah, it turns out it's pretty difficult to scream over 50,000 people. Yeah, that would be tough. But yeah, they, so every time we screamed, we timed it perfectly that no one else was screaming right at that moment.

But then it just gets all filled in with people screaming right behind you. Right. I think the best bet was the fourth shot, or the fourth T for Mickelson that didn't actually get on TV. So I'm going to say that it worked, but we don't know.

Yeah, they were probably filming that anyway. So hopefully somebody in the truck got a good laugh about that and maybe said something about it. Yeah, maybe. Yeah.

And speaking of sands, sadly, I didn't get to see sands which really bummed me out. But I'm glad Jolene did. Yeah. So yeah, overall it was great.

And it was kind of a weird thing because you wanted, you were kind of cheering for the Americans to do poorly enough that you could keep watching until all 12 groups came through 15, but just enough to win. So it was really kind of a weird thing. It sounds like a fantasy football situation. It just like it was.

It felt like fantasy football. And we were standing by, there were three bunkers on 15. We were standing by the left most bunker. And I was just hoping that someone would hit it in the bunker.

So that would be closer for Lechizri. Yeah. But didn't happen because the bunker really wasn't in play. Those guys can hit it.

Oh my gosh. So anyway, that is the Ryder Cup Lechizri story. Well, it sounds like you had made several value in a temp. So I will, I think you get credit for that.

Yeah, it wasn't for lack of trying. I mean, my voice was pretty scratchy by the end of the day. But you know what? I got a tweet the same day of the Ryder Cup.

I got a tweet that actually was a DM from Deanna, your wife. Okay. And she said, this is what she says. It cracked me up.

Halfway through a conversation, just realized Jason is holding a half empty diet Pepsi. I'm picking up the children and headed to a hotel for safety reasons. Explain. Oh, you want me to explain or is it that she's saying?

No, I want you to explain. Okay. Well, you know what that tastes like that we talked about that I was supposed to do last week. Yes.

I bought the stuff for it this week. So I bought a Diet Pepsi, a Pepsi, a real sugar Coke, Mexican Coke, Diet Coke and regular Coke. And of course, when I got home, I drink the regular Coke. And then I drink the Diet Coke.

And then a couple hours later, I drink the Pepsi and then I drink the Mexican Coke. And so when she got home later that evening, I was on the Diet Pepsi because, you know, like I said before, if I buy it, even if I don't like it, I'm going to drink it. If it's caffeine and carbonation, I'm going to drink it. So that's what happened.

So you never did the taste test. So I know what I did. I just, you know, did it all over a six hour period and I drink the whole bottle at once. But you knew what you were tasting.

Yeah. So I'm just about five out of five. From the way you're scoring it, that's what you got. Yeah.

I will actually try to get it some point. We did the same thing. We didn't want to waste it. So we drank the rest of them.

I mean, if we had had enough of it by that point. Yeah, exactly. And there's nothing worse to me than wasting a good soda or Coke or beverage or pop or tonic or whatever you want to call it. It's just don't waste that kind of stuff.

It's liquid gold. Well, at least the Coke is. Yeah. Oh, for sure.

Hey, by the way, did I mention that there was a ghost in my house this week? Excuse me, what? I think there was a ghost in my house this week. No, you didn't mention that.

We need to discuss this though. What happened? And downstairs I heard all of a sudden this very faint sounded like two little kids singing a song that lasted for about, you know, five, ten seconds. And it sounded far away in terms of like how soft it was, but it sounded like locationally like it was right in my living room downstairs.

It was super weird. And I think, oh, that's one of my kids toys or they left some electronic device on, but it was kind of weird, creepy. So I go downstairs and check it out and realize, oh, there's nothing left on. There's nothing here.

And while I'm standing there, my phone, I thought it was ringing. It was the alarm on my phone going off and I came upstairs and there was no alarm set on my phone. But as I'm walking up the stairs to check that, a chair in the living room that I was just in, I just fell over. Oh, no way.

It was weird. It was weird. Yeah. And so I mean, I moved on from that.

And then later on, a couple hours later, I heard this sound that sounded like someone was making like a fake ghost, you know, like in my basement, it was like a higher pitch voice. And it sounded like it was coming from the basement. I was like, what in the world is that? And I discovered that somebody was drilling into some concrete next door in their house for some reason.

And it was for the vibrations coming through, we're making it with that added on top of the three other unexplained things that happened. And I'm like, all right, this is kind of weird. So anyway, I moved on. So the concrete wasn't ghost related.

No, no, no. It was ghost adjacent. We hope you've enjoyed yet another weekend review. And now let's move on to some more pronunciation games.

Or is it pronunciation games? And is it really a game? I mean, we're not really competing. Do you have to be competing for it to be a game?

I guess not. It is kind of fun. And it's golf a game. Or is it a sport?

Anyways, so speaking of pronunciations, we've been doing this for the few weeks now, as far as how to say different words and how to pronounce different things. We got a tweet from John Miller that had a map and an article of how 24 different regions in America pronounce things differently. So I think people are interested in how different words are pronounced differently in different areas of the country. And with people moving around a lot more than they used to, you get a lot of that crossover and mix.

Like we've said before, we've lived in different parts of the country. And so when we took that first quiz on this, it had us, it had you in like a larger region and it basically had me all over the United States. So we'll tweet that out or you can look at that in the speech engines Twitter feed and it'll have the map in there someplace. But it was interesting article.

I read the first part of it. So thanks John for saying that. Yeah, thanks for saying. It is interesting.

And I don't know if that's the same, that came from that same quiz that we took. But I believe that when we took, we took a shortened version of the New York Times quiz and I believe it came from that same website that the map came from. Okay. It was a business insider.com was this article?

Yeah, I think that's where the shortened quiz that we took came from too. But it looked like it was derived from the New York Times. So yes, I do think people are interested. And so do you have any words this week?

I have one and then one that sort of kind of tangentially related, which, you know, we know that's perfect. Yeah. The one that gets me, and this is more of a complaint that pronunciation is when you say the word anyway, like if you're going to say anyway, or, you know, to kind of change the flow of conversation or anyway, see later that kind of situation. Have you ever heard anybody put an S on the end of that?

Absolutely. Yes. So anyways, that one doesn't bother me so much. But I can see where it would get people's nerves because the one that gets on my nerves is when people put S's on proper nouns, like names of places, like Walmart.

When people say Walmart's, which is a very common thing in the South for some reason. Wait, people say I'm going to Walmart's or I'm going to Target's. Oh, I've not heard that before. Really?

No. It really jumps out at me every time I hear that. And it just makes me go, you realize there's not an S on the end of that, right? I mean, I do things like that too.

I probably annoys people. So if you like insurance, my stepfather actually, you know, the restaurant chain Panera Bread, he always calls that either Panera's Bread, let's go to Panera's Bread or let's go to Panera's Bread's. So it's the exact same thing. Yeah.

For some reason, it happens with names of businesses a lot around here. And I don't know where that comes from. If somebody has an idea why that happens, because it's not like a pocket of the country that does it. It's widespread.

I've heard it done in a lot of the areas that I've been to, but in particular in the South, it does. You hear that a lot. Did you have any for this week? I have something.

And this one is more, you remember how I like the word sneaker and kind of wish that I said it? Yes. Well, the word A-T-H-L-E-T-E. I say athlete.

I don't know how you say it. Athlete. But I kind of like it when people say athlete. Athlete.

I put the extra A in there. Yeah. I don't know why. I heard somebody say it this week and I thought, oh, that's, I like that athlete.

That's an athlete. Yeah. And then I do have one more. All right.

Another A word. This one, I've never actually heard anybody mispronounce this, but it's a kind of a joke in our family because it's so sophomoric. So the word is A-R-T-I-S-A-N-A-L. Let's see.

Art, artisanal. Right. That's how it's supposed to be pronounced in that sound. Or artisanal.

Yes. Artisanal or artisanal? I say artisanal. But when there's a group of family, namely my stepbrother, it's artist anal.

And we do it on purpose. We'll say, I'm going to make some artist anal bread now. Oh, my gosh. And I told you it's sophomoric, but it makes us laugh.

So it makes us happy. Well, that's funny. It obviously made me laugh too. But I've never actually heard anyone seriously pronounce it that way.

No, no, but you know what? I guarantee you somebody out there has said it that way, just reading it. They've read it in that way. Right.

Sounding it out. Speaking of that, do you remember Transams in the 80s? Sure. I mean, it's a big smoking band at the time.

So they were popular, especially in the south and mid part of the country where I was growing up at the time. And they used to have ones that had Transam written on the side of the car. Yes. Like on the lower half, like on the finish shirt.

I used to read that and think it was called a Transam AM. Because for some reason in my head, it was split into two words and I thought the first word was just Transam. I just always read it as Transam. And it cracks me up now, even to this day.

I mean, I was like, you know, seven, eight, nine, 12. But I can remember specifically going, hey, that's a Transam AM AM. And my dad going, what are you talking about? Transam PM.

Yeah, which makes you sleepy. Yeah. That's funny. I've never thought of that before.

When I've seen those Transams written on the bottom. Yeah, that's just a dumb, good thing that I did. It's charming. It's just when you said, when you said, when you said, that would remind me, add an extra A in there and an extra is like civil into word is when people say nuclear instead of nuclear.

Um, let me think about that word. In UCLER. Yeah. I think I say nuclear.

Really? I do. Let me try and say it the way nuclear. Nuclear?

Yeah. So say like, put it in a sentence like that plant runs on nuclear power. That plant runs on nuclear power. No, you do.

Yeah. So why can't I say athlete? You can. You can even say sneaker if you want to.

I do. I do. I put an extra syllable on their nuclear. Cool.

So you're doing cool stuff and not even knowing it. Yes, I'm breaking all laws of English, which would disappoint my father, my mother, and my brother who are all English majors. So they don't approve of artists, Angel? Oh, they, well, yes, they think that's funny.

Okay. And they've never called me out for saying nuclear. One other thing that came up with along the lines of this week was I got into a Twitter discussion with Shad who writes all the hakus about his fire, one or two syllables. I've never thought of that.

Well, leave it to me to come up with something like that. Well, if, if you look at the word, if you, I think it's two syllables, I pronounce it fire. Mm hmm. See, I would say one just because, and this is a film reason, but it's a short word.

Well, that's what I was going to say too. But that doesn't really, what about UNDO or UNDO undo? Two syllables, same amount of letters. Yeah.

But it's not, it's not fiery. No. Fire. Well, I'll tell you what I found out.

Shad tweeted me a link to how many syllables does this have dot com or something like that. If you search for how many syllables does this have and put the word in there, you know, pull it down. This website. Yeah.

Okay. Everything is over. Yes. It's the internet in 2016 whether you wanted it or not.

Correct. So this thing said that fire is one civil. Okay. And so I'm like, okay.

And so I decided to look it up in the dictionary, looked it up on, I believe it was Mary Webster dot com or one of those. I've heard of it before. Looked it up. What do you do?

Yes. I mean, I had to know. Yeah. I should have went with, you know, what syllables is this?

How many syllables does this have dot com? But you know, so I looked it up and it said fire can be one or two syllables. Oh, really so does it say, depending on the region in which you grew up? It actually mentioned that in one of the descriptions like one of the informational paragraphs said different regions of the country say this with two syllables and some regions of the country say this with two syllables and some say it with one.

Well, interesting because I think of the folks that say one syllable, I think that is being southern like fire. Fire. Yeah. So I guess we should ask others if they think fire is one or two syllables or did you have more?

Did you come up with an determination? I would love to hear from other people with a thing or you know, and with reasoning to back it up with, you know, evidence. Yeah. Come at me with no evidence.

Yeah, I just can't be because you think so we need that's an evidence. So, so my evidence, my supporting documentation is the boss. We're experiencing. Okay.

And if you look up pretty much any live concert where he's seeing, he's seeing in fire. That's true. So, hey, well, the boss is too. So I got to go to the boss has the final say, but then I mean, you have Shad who is the expert on haikus.

Yeah. So say in one. So did you write it? It's an answer question.

I did write a haiku and of course, one of the sentences was this fire have one syllable. Yeah. So we don't we still don't know if the haiku was correct or incorrect. No, the number of syllables in fire determines whether my haiku was actually a haiku or a made up.

Just words. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think we have to decide with the boss on this.

I'll go with it. So we did a quiz last week that was a bonus episode for anybody who hasn't heard that. It was about an hour long with some audio clips of great guitar solos, which I mean, that was my choice for that week. Yeah.

And you rocked it. Well, I could have done better and actually, you know, got, you know, Claire gave me a hard time for missing Jeff Rook's all and you know, Jen gave us both our times for, you know, missing some here and there. And I think Patrick was talking about something about it's the who or Bohemian Rhapsody or Queen or he was yelling about one of those. But did we get any more feedback?

Oh, yeah. I took the brunt of the taunting and well deserved. Well, no, because people need to understand is that was my choice of quiz because I know a lot about that stuff. And you were, you know, gracious enough to go along with us on that first quiz because we done quizzes before, but this was this was more trivia and less, you know, are you like this?

Where are you from in the United States? That kind of stuff. This was more of a actual trivia knowledge kind of situation. Yeah.

And so I appreciate you going with that going with me on that. And you know, I thought you did really well. Well, we're going to do a quiz that I chose this week, but I perhaps didn't choose. I didn't choose by how well I knew the material.

So we'll see how it goes. Actually, I did choose one by how well I knew the material, but when we get to name that toon portion of the quiz, it will be, you'll probably slaughter me again. And so bring out your tweets, people, people like name that toon. I think that's well established and you're sitting, I always do this when TK has a trivia, not just name that toon.

I'm screening the answer and nobody gets it and you're like, what do you get? Well, now I'm on the other side of that. And you always hear like on these trivia shows, like I was special in Jeopardy. You hear people say it's so different when you're actually on the show and you know, it's the pressure.

Oh, yeah. It's a situation of, you know, it is a little more pressure when you know this is being recorded and we're going to disseminate this to other people here and it's not just me and my car yelling. But you know, so, but I'm totally off for people, you know, coming at us on Twitter challenges. If you have a quiz that you think that you would do really well at and you want to challenge us to take it, please tweet at us, email us, you know, speaking at tangespotcast at gmail.com and we'll definitely take a look at them and because we want to keep doing these because I love the interaction on Twitter with all of this.

Yeah. And we did get some new folks responding that the quiz spoke to them. Cool. Yeah.

And he said, if your goal was to get me to scream, won't get fooled again while driving down the floor, turn the mic mission accomplished. Yeah. I'll speak for myself. I should have known the name of that song.

Obviously I know that song. I just couldn't pull it from that section for some reason. Yeah, I didn't know the name of it. And then Andrew Veer at enswan.

And he tweeted us from Amsterdam and he said, yeah, pin him right love the quiz. Although I was screaming queen, which got me some looks on the bus to Amsterdam, which we approve of. In fact, speaking of queen, that was one that I got razzed about the most. But I'd like to say that I actually got it.

Yeah, you did. I didn't even give you a hitch on that one. No, but Brad Weiss texted me and he said something like I'm dead to him. Because we actually did Bohemian Rhapsody as a jingle.

And like I said last week, it's one of my favorite songs ever. It was 10 seconds of clip. There's a little added pressure and I... Yeah, that sounds like eight minutes long.

Yeah, so anyway... It goes all over the place. I don't think I'll ever get it wrong again. And then...

Now you know what you're doing. You're challenging me to come up with if I put together a quiz in the future that's rock music. I'll have to sneak one in there that is some random eight seconds of that song that at least, that's at least recognizable to try to trick you. Yes, that's fine.

You set that up. Yep, I set that up. So this week we're gonna do 80s themes. Oh cool.

So both of us, I know that we both really like the movie Fairs Bueller, the day off. And so we're gonna do a quiz about that. That's not named in that tune. That's a multiple choice, but it should go fairly quickly.

Okay. Famous last words of speaking of tangents. Yeah, there you go. And then we'll do a movie that I love that you've seen.

But quite frankly, if I don't beat you at this quiz, there may be no hope for me. And that is Beverly Hills Cop. Okay. So we'll do Beverly Hills Cop first, and then we'll do Ferris, and then we'll go into a name that tune of the 80s music.

Oh, very good. So it'll be like last week where it's a 10 second clip, and we'll have to write down our answers and then we'll have to look it up at the end. Okay. We'll do the movie ones first.

The movie ones are multiple choice, and the other one is just name that tune, no multiple choice. All right. The 80s music one, 80s music is tough for me because, again, I don't know why I selected it, but I like 80s music. It's all, they all kind of sound the same, but in order to identify bands, especially obscure bands, we'll see how this goes.

Okay. And we're going to go by the rule of, on the audio one, if you know it, say you know it. Yes. And then get the other person who needs a chance to.

Right. Don't just screen up the answer. Cool. Okay.

So we'll on to Beverly Hills Cop. So hopefully somebody out there has watched Beverly Hills Cop. I don't know that anybody is a bigger fan of that movie than me. So I could be a little bit more.

Wow. Okay. Well, I've seen it several times. You know, I like it a lot.

What I could tell you about Beverly Hills Cop right now is that Eddie Murphy's in it, and he goes from, I think, Detroit to Beverly Hills. I can't think about the rest of the plot or anything else. Okay. Well, then you might have an advantage on this first question.

Number one, Axel is a reckless police detective from, if you know the answer, just tell me. Detroit. Yes. I would say Detroit as well.

Okay. Who is Axel's childhood friend, Todd, Mikey or Ralph? Todd sounds familiar, but I'm going to say, I think that somebody else in the movie, Mikey sounds familiar too. I'm saying Mikey.

All right. I know the answer. So should I just tell you, shall we tell the end? That's right.

To the end because it doesn't tell us as we go. Right. Okay. I think that's all the crime.

A, a leave of absence, B, sick days, C, vacation time. Um, this will be a total guess for me. I'll say vacation time. Yeah.

I think that is, I think that's, I swear I'd pick two. It's either vacation time or sick leave. I think it's vacation. All right.

What does Axel find in Maitland's warehouse? Boxes, corn or coffee grounds? I think box is too obvious. So I'm going to narrow down the corner of coffee grounds and I'm going to say, coffee.

Okay. Okay. Who is the police chief? Packard, Mifflin or Hubbard?

This will be the Los Angeles chief. Or the Detroit chief. I think I'm going to say Los Angeles. I'm going to say Packard, just guessing.

Okay. Next one. What is Victor Maitland smuggling? Drugs for Mexico?

Barre bonds, priceless art. Barre bonds, just guessing. Okay. Next one.

How does Axel disable the undercover cop car? With a sandwich? You know the answer? Okay.

Yeah, banana and a tailpipe. Banana. You're not going to fall for the banana and the tailpipe? Yeah.

There you go. Oh, that's the next question. You knew it. Yeah.

And we're not going to fall for a blank in the blank. Oh, yeah, that isn't that too. Yeah. Well, if you know the one before that, then you got to know this one.

Right. Done question. Banana and a tailpipe. After Maitland shoots an injur's foley, he uses blank as a shield.

Jenny, a fruit bowl, a pencil. Fruit bowl, I guess. Okay. Foley disguises himself as a flower deliverer, telegram deliverer, pizza delivery boy.
