Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello, and welcome to Quiz Quiz Bang Bang, the pub
quiz practice show that hits you pow right in the quizzer.
I'm David Flora.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
And I'm Aie Flora, and we're here to teach you
more about trivia than there are nights at the round
table whose.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Names we don't remember.

Speaker 2 (00:31):
There's a whole big old table, and there's Lancelot, then
there's Arthur, then there's Galahad, and then there's a bunch
of other dudes hanging around with names.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
I don't know, sir, not appearing in this film. That's right,
no news, nothing to speak of anyway, So let's jump
into this trivia. Here's how the show works. Quiz Quiz
Bang Bang's format. There's four rounds of four quests, each
followed by the answers. After round two, we'll ask a

(01:03):
quick fire bang bang question where you'll have a time
limit to give multiple answers. After the fourth round, the
show culminates with the Big Bang, a final round with
three questions whose answers are all clues to one final question.
Round one Question one the category is space. Soviet cosmonauts

(01:25):
traveled with what in case they landed in Siberia and
ran into bears. Question two, category mythology, What was the
job of Karon in Greek mythology? Question three category music.

Hall of Fame pitcher and six time World Series champion.
The other is also a brand of car battery. Question
four category history, Oberfell versus Hodges is a case that

(02:19):
went in front of the US Supreme Court and brought
about nationwide equality for what and now the answers to
round one? Question one? Soviet cosmonauts traveled with what in
case they landed in Siberia and ran into bears? Shotguns,

(02:42):
specifically the TP eighty two and out of service triple
barreled Soviet combination gun that also had a knife in
the stock.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Just to be good and sure.

Speaker 1 (02:56):
Yeah, better safe than sorry. Carry a shotgun so if
a bear comes at you, you can just make it
mad before it eats you.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Could you imagine if you went into space and survived
that and then died because of a bear like that's wild?

Speaker 1 (03:15):
Question two, What was the job of Karen and Greek mythology.
He was the ferryman to the underworld. Question three. The
lead singer and rapper of House of Pain goes by
which two stage names, Whitey Ford and Everlast. House of

(03:36):

single jump Around, Jump Jump Jump. Question four. Oberfell versus
Hodges is a case that went in front of the
Supreme Court and brought about nationwide equality for what marriage equality?

Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yay? Round two? Question five. The category is comics. Laura

category is film. This question comes from listener knife, Thank
you Knife. Which movie had the first director? Commentary? Question seven?
The category is technology. Oh boy, The official measurement unit

(04:43):
of a computer mouse is fittingly called what. Question eight,
the category is botany. What is the world's fastest growing plant?

a day? And now the answer is to round two.

(05:09):
Question five. Laura Levon is the mother of what fictional character?
This is his birth mother, not who raised him in Kansas.
It's Supermand Question six, which movie had the first director
commentary is the nineteen ninety release of Taxi Driver on

(05:33):
LaserDisc and had the first ever commentary by a director,
that being Martin Scorsese Trailblazer Criterion collection.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
I think was the Trailblazer.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yeah, but he was the first director. So in case
Martin Scorsese doesn't have enough validation, he also can mark
that off question seven. Oh boy. The official measurement unit
of a computer mouse is fittingly called what uh huh,

(06:09):
mick mouse is called a mickey. One mickey represents the
smallest detectable movement of the mouse, and it is generally
equivalent to one two hundredth of an inch or about
zero point one millimeters. Boy, the hint might have landed

(06:29):
harder if David had writ the question. Question eight was

Tasty lick is a before and after featuring a food

Big Bang Round is Symbols. We're gonna ask you three questions,
the answers of which are all clues to the final question.
Keep in mind the reclue questions may not be from

(13:01):
the same category as the final. Question one which fort
and later city was founded by French explorers Antoine de
la Motte Cadillac and Alphonse de Tonti in seventeen oh one.

Speaker 2 (13:22):
Question two, what is the highest level of the English
football league system?

Speaker 1 (13:29):
Called question three? Which English king was crowned in eleven
ninety four for a second time after his capture in
ransom from Germany.

Speaker 2 (13:47):
And Your Big Bang Question developed by the British Toy
and Hobby Association. The Conformity mark used to identified toys
denoted as safe and of high quality. Feature a yellow
triangle outlined in green with the face of what animal
inside it?

Speaker 1 (14:11):
And now the answers to the Big Bang Round Question
one which fort and later city was founded by French
explorers Antoine de la Motte Calac and Alfonse d Tanti
in seventeen oh one.

Speaker 2 (14:24):
Detroit Question two, what is the highest level of the
English football league system called Premier League?

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Question three, which English king was crowned in eleven ninety
four for a second time after his capture in ransom
from Germany, Richard the first.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
And Your Big Bang Question developed by the British Toy
and Hobby Association. The Conformity mark used to identify toys
denoted as safe end of high quality features a yellow
triangle outlined in green with the face of what animal
inside the animal and the nickname of Richard I. The

(15:11):
Detroit NFL team and logo of the Premier League. It's
a Lion. The lion mark is voluntary and only members
of the British Toy and a Hobby association can use it.
It's also used to indicate shops as approved lion mark retailers,

(15:32):
so now you might notice those lionmarks on some of
your toys and games.

Speaker 1 (15:37):
There you go, of course, Richard the first being Richard
the lion Heart, and the Premier League having a lion
with a crowd on.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Aw. I mean a real lied with a crown on
would probably shake that off pretty fast. Yeah, unless it
wasn't napping. I feel like Kings didn't take advantage of
all the different animals we have. You don't have a
Richard the sloth Heart, which would be amazing.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
I think they opted for more cutting insults to them,
like the bald or the ineffective.

Speaker 2 (16:18):
That's true, so they did use words well, they just
didn't take advantage of all the animal Kingdom has to offer.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
I think that's okay. Why throw shaded animals? That makes
it sound Why compare an animal to a stupid man?

Speaker 2 (16:37):
Touche?

Speaker 1 (16:39):
