Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello, and welcome to Quiz Quiz Bang Bang, the pub
quiz practice show that hits you. Yeah right in the quizzer.
I'm Annie Flora, I'm David Flora, and we're here to
teach you more about trivia than There are new AI
videos of animals cropping up trying to make you think
that they're real animals, but they're not.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
They're AI and they make you so.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I hate it.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's awful. There's always a tell, yeah, there's something that
you can see that it's just not right.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Yeah, and it's just but eventually you won't be able
to tell the difference, except for it won't have a soul,
so pretty.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
Much they are already. Why do people do that?

Speaker 2 (00:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I don't know what the point of it is because
there's so many real pet videos. It has to just
be a money making thing, right, like if you're dump
it into that much money, I don't know how it
works or why.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
The saddest part is the comments of them though.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh, because everyone thinks they're real.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Everyone thinks they're real, and then I'm like, okay, now
I'm not sure if these people are real.

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Oh that's true.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
They could just be boughts and it's all just kind
of like the snake. Well, something that's not fake that
we can celebrate, or some new coffee.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
Got one from gwhen.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
And oh urm are and thanks to everyone who's listening,
because somebody was telling me that like now three thousand
AI podcasts are being released to day, like there's already
so many podcast done by people. We don't need a podcasts, right,

(02:05):
So anyway, we're not here to judge you. If you
love AI, we're not, like, obviously that's maybe a direction
we're heading, but we're not AI. And we appreciate you
supporting us and listening to a non AI show and
any other non AI shows you listen to because humans

(02:26):
support humans. What a weird thing to have to say.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
We all knew it was coming, but thank you guys
for sending those coffees. If anyone else would like to
keep us meat bags going, well he requires caffeine, so
ko dash fi dot com, slash Quizbang pod and keep
the skin jobs well, skin jobs are cylons that look

(02:56):
like people, aren't they, So that doesn't work working there,
We'll stick with meat sacks.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Yeah, there's a cold meat sacks I want to do
some trivia.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Couple bags of wet meat running on electricity.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
But I just don't like it.

Speaker 3 (03:14):
Here's how the show works. Wiz Quiz Bang Bang's format
is four rounds of four questions, each followed by the answers.
After round two, we'll ask a 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

(03:34):
clues to one final question.

Speaker 2 (03:38):

what large biblical name does his expedition go by? And

(05:07):
now the answer is to round one. Question one, what
candy saw sixty five percent increase in sales within two
weeks of the release of E. T. Reese's Pieces? I
guess Originally Steven Spielberg wanted to use em and M's
and he approached M and MS to be like, Hey,

(05:27):
I want to use you in the movie, but I think,
you know, give me some money for the product placement
or whatever. And Eminem was like, yeah, no, that's okay,
we'll pass. And then Reese's Pieces, that was kind of
struggling to like break into the market, was like, we'll
do it. What do you want? Count us in? And
it worked out great for them.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
Nice Reese's Pieces infinitely superior to Eminems.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Oh my gosh, dam down.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Question two. Which morning time show host was a spokesperson
for Carnival Cruise Line from the late eighties to the
early nineties with the catchphrase if my friends could see

Speaker 3 (06:13):
David, No, I think that was it? Okay, very much
like Kathy Lee hepburn there.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
Oh. If my friends could see me now, they would say,
great job, Kathy.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
Let's all go out for some momo sauce.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Question three, What is the name of Lafia's capital that
shares its name with the golf? It lies on Riga,
which means it lies on the Gulf of Riga.

of nineteen ninety eight and attempt to be the first

Has his expedition go by what large biblical name the
Goliath Expedition. He began his journey on November one of

(07:08):
nineteen ninety eight and originally expected to finish his trek
of thirty six thousand miles or fifty eight thousand kilometers
in eight years, so that implies he'd be done by
two thousand and six. But David in October of twenty
five he had entered Romania and is now one thousand,
three hundred and seventy five miles or two two or

(07:29):
thirteen kilometers from the United Kingdom, so like he's getting there.
So good for him for not giving up good grief.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, but good I mean probably got held up trying
to walk on water.
