(00:04):
Welcome aboard Bus 1. We're on our way to Airly
Oregon, and we've got some time to kill.
Let's play some trivia, gamers. Introduce yourselves.
It's Aiden. Hello everyone.
It's. A happy birthday.
(00:27):
That's awesome. Must have been the wind.
It's Cooper. That was good.
That was good. What should not be the air
episode, Yeah. Actually, sorry, I'm not sorry
guys. This.
One's about nuts again. Yeah.
Welcome to Fire Partly. Yeah, I didn't prepare very
well, so the topic is still a little up in the air.
(00:51):
Pause for raucous laughter. Actually, that's a good idea.
Let's do air trivia. Today we are completing the
Elemental series. Who?
Could have guessed. Yes, I would finally be for you
for this episode. Here are the rules tonight.
I'm wondering who is the biggestairhead you know, someone who is
(01:15):
really obsessed with air. Well, we'll have 3 rounds of
five questions each to determinethis.
Questions in round one are worth1 gust, Round 2 is worth 2
gusts, and round 3 is worth 3 gusts.
Most gusts at the end gets the win.
First one to buzz in gets the gust.
(01:35):
Gustiest airhead at the end willwin.
But be warned there will be a challenge question.
Once during this game I will lieand provide an answer that is
not actually correct. You each get one chance to
answer, to challenge an answer, to earn 3 gusts.
But challenge the wrong one and you'll lose 3 gusts.
Because of climate change, you'll hit the doldrums.
(01:58):
Because of climate. Change not because of climate
change. But don't just wait till the
end. Here.
We go yeah game to take advantage of the vacuum.
Anti air. If you are the first, second.
Back. Super second back.
(02:21):
If you are the first one to challenge a given question mid
game and you are correct, you will totally asphyxiate your
opponent, AKA they will answer the next two questions.
This is fantastic. It's never happened.
You should. Do it.
It's probably not gonna happen. If it lands, the other two
(02:42):
people have to hold their breathfor two questions.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. And do not Google.
Do not Google. Do not do airheads.
Don't Google. Cue the common law.
I was. I was.
Thinking about this from the last.
Episode Oh Google, we should geta Google.
I was thinking with Google I'm gonna big.
Like. Sure it's against the rules, but
we we need to make it like completely frowned upon.
(03:05):
Like you'll be shunned out of existence if you not.
Only is it against the rules? It's pretty cringe.
Thank you. I'm gonna Google.
That's what I'm point proven. Yeah, instantly.
All right, round one, hold your breath.
(03:26):
The alchemy of air. Why we got to stop naming?
Last time was a romance novel, this one is fantasy.
Now I can't, I can't take full credit.
I mean The Alchemy of Air, that's a real book title.
Oh OK. About the scientists that
learned how to harness nitrogen from the air to create
(03:46):
fertilizer. Anyways, question 1 is about,
not that. Good The the the the the person
who discovered how to take nitrogen out.
Of the air question one. Who, what, who?
What is the book? I'll shoot you everywhere.
Air is one part oxygen, 3.76 parts nitrogen.
(04:09):
Anyways, question one. What Earth, Fire.
Air. Long ago, these were identified
as the four classical elements. Then everything changed when
Joseph Priestly attacked. You guys know about Joseph
Priestly? No, No.
You're going to have to refresh my memory.
(04:30):
Is he the guy that wrote The Alchemy of Mirror?
No, he's not. But, well, he didn't do it
single handedly, but his scientific work helped to usher
in the age of modern chemistry. In fact, he's credited as the
discoverer of oxygen. But what did Priestly originally
call oxygen? Multiple choice.
(04:51):
A fixed air, B noxious air, C deflogisticated air or D fire
air. Did I say D twice?
Don't anyway. Deflogisticate me please.
Cameron. Deflogisticated Air.
That's right. That's what it's so.
(05:12):
Good, it's. Because because it didn't have
Flogiston in it, which is what scientists used to think is what
caused things to catch on fire. Was Flogiston?
No way. And because it provided.
Yeah, it is. It made sense.
He was a proponent of the Flogiston theory.
Don't worry about it. I read on just tonight, do you
(05:38):
guys want to hear like 8 fun facts?
I remember, yes. We know how to save it for the
Joseph Priestly shortcut episodeis.
Flagician, part of the LGBTQ plus community.
The LGBTD is for, D for logistical, D for.
She she Flagiston on. She.
(06:00):
She flogged on my jist just tillI hate it.
Justin. Until it went in.
I, Justin. Yeah, sorry, we gotta heal this
one. Oxygen, because he put a big
lump of mucuric oxide with a biglens on it and he burned it into
a jar. And so that just released like
pure oxygen. And he found that a flame could
(06:21):
burn really intensely in the jar, and that a mouse could live
for a really long time when he left.
It and the mouse could live forever.
Thank you. A mouse could be a burner.
Forever in the. Quote, Quote.
The feeling of it in my lungs, Priestly wrote, was not sensibly
different than that of common air, but I fancied that my
(06:43):
breast felt peculiarly light andeasy for some time afterwards.
Who can tell but that in time this pure air may become a
fashionable article in luxury? Hitherto, only two mice and
myself have had the privilege ofbreathing it.
Wow, goes hard. Joseph Priestley.
He said he said murky mercury oxide, or.
Mercuric oxide? I don't know.
(07:04):
Doesn't that imply they knew that oxygen?
No, that's just they had a different name for it at the
time. Oh.
That's just mercuric. Just probably just like.
Brown. Stone or something?
Fancy stone? Yeah, Rock.
He also was, like, best friends with Branchman Franklin.
We can move on from Joseph Priestly now.
Too soon, you know. OK, fine.
(07:25):
He also founded the Unitarian Church in America.
OK, Yeah, we can. Move on.
That's where the priestly comes.From Question 20, that goes to
Cameron. Question.
He was Joseph Chemistry. No, he helped found.
Chemistry. So he was Joseph Alchemy.
(07:46):
He was. He was just.
A Logiston. I'm just logiston here, yeah.
I need to put that in my DDDPC character name list.
OK, let me ask a question too. Some may be surprised to learn
that oxygen is not actually the most prevalent element in our
atmosphere, but I know you guys aren't.
(08:07):
What is the most prevalent element in our atmosphere are.
You kidding me? Airden.
Nitrogen. That's just correct.
But don't worry, Cooper, there is a bonus point.
So nitrogen is no, nitrogen is 78%, oxygen is 21%, but bonus
point for the third most prevalent element.
I got it. Sorry.
Let me clear I. Didn't know it.
(08:32):
Carbon incorrect. In the air, In the air, carbon
oxide. We both go in the air.
Carbon dioxide's in the air, butit's not the third most
prevalent, and carbon dioxide isalso more than one element.
I know, but carbon is a part of carbon dioxide.
It's still not the third most. I know this may be a stretch.
Is it? Can I say ozone?
(08:54):
That's oxygen, you can say that.It's not.
An element that's just Oh. Yeah, I'm going to say Helium.
Not that either, Cooper. You got your chance here.
Hydrogen. Nope, sorry.
Gets that bonus point. It's Argon, no?
Way it's argly. 1%. Of the atmosphere's Argon.
Wow, I was shocked to learn. That's really Argon's publicist
(09:15):
working overtime to get that one, yeah.
So I get nothing for knowing that air is one part oxygen,
3.76 parts nitrogen, no? No, that's just Cooper.
That's just a confusing. Way to say knowledge, Cooper.
It's 78% nitrogen, 21%. That's that's the way we put it
into like a combustion like chemical.
Reason. Oh, here we go.
(09:35):
Fucking rocket scientist. Yeah.
Every Argon? Argon doesn't react.
But you will kill you though. You guys want to hear?
A joke? OK no, no, I want to keep on
going. Question 3.
If you breathe an argon, it's going to be a bad time.
Guys, guys, let's chill out a little bit.
Let's all take a deep breath. It's all experience air.
(10:03):
It doesn't faze me. I'm at peace.
I feel refreshed. Oh golly, I just love the
feeling of fresh air in my lungs.
Which of the following lung facts is true?
You're right, these questions are a little rough.
Hey. I'm not even to the rough ones
yet. Hey, when you breathe, your body
(10:23):
uses just a fifth of the oxygen you've inhaled.
The rest is exhaled B Like many parts of the body, your two
lungs are symmetrical. C you take an average of 100
million breaths a day or D your lungs push down your diaphragm,
creating more space in your chest cavity when you inhale
(10:43):
Cameron. It's D.
That's the true one. Yeah, that is incorrect.
Your diaphragm actually is the thing doing the work.
It's it's pushing your more space in your chest cavity which
causes your lungs to inflate. Take your breath.
Aaron, you are next. OK, I don't think it's 100
million breaths a day because I that's.
That's quite too many crazy. So it's either the oxygen or the
(11:06):
symmetrical, and I think your lungs are asymmetric, so I'm
going to say you only use a fifth oxygen.
That is true, Aiden. One gust to you.
Thank you. Yeah, suck it up.
It's in there. Diaphragm, baby.
Yeah, in order to breathe 100 million * a day you would have
to breathe like 1500 times a second.
(11:28):
Yeah, because there's. People probably not be doing
that. Yeah, you breathe like 20,000
ish times a. Day.
Maybe you not. Maybe not you last time.
Alec made the challenge questionsomething that you'd have to do
quick math about. So I need to like, actually math
that one out to make sure he's not just BS.
You said 100 million. 100 million is a lot though.
There is not a fucking chance inthe world.
(11:48):
There's 3600. Yeah, you could.
Vacuum me right now No. I'm not gonna.
I just have to double check my math because last time you're
like, oh, you're an idiot. The earth isn't that big to.
Be fair, I think I said the earth was like 800 million miles
across and no one bat an eye. No, because.
No, you didn't say 800 million. You said something crazy and I
(12:12):
just didn't do it. You said like 800,000.
No, that's what it's act. It's like 8000 miles is the real
that's crazy river something. Like that.
Anyway, that's not. Anyway.
This is the air episode and guess what?
Question 4. Sometimes air be moving and we
call that wind. Oh my God, Alec, you missed a
golden opportunity throughout this series to make an Earth,
(12:34):
Wind and Fire joke. I asked a question about earth,
wind and fire on the fire. OK, I take that back.
Cut that. Wait, can I tell a crazy story
about earth, wind and fire real quick?
Actually, it might have been theEarth episode.
No. Or the wind.
Let I didn't let Cooper tell hisjoke.
So how about at the end, if we have time, Cooper can tell a
joke and Cooper can tell a crazystory about fire.
OK for time. That's the talk back.
(12:57):
Segment Anyways, what causes wind?
Oh damn it. Cooper.
Cooper. So differences in temperature
across land cause differences inpressure, which causes wind.
Don't let him do that. Don't let him.
Get away. I'd like to.
Are you talking about like jet streams?
(13:17):
Because jet streams are partially caused by the
Coriolis. Just damn it.
Just the wind. Just the wind.
I'll give it to you, Cooper. It's it's air moving from low or
sorry, high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
That's all it is. And so it's not Jesus.
And but Jesus is the one who does that part.
Jesus sets the pressure differentials to let wind flow.
(13:41):
Yeah, he's, he's, you know, whenever you, whenever you see
the, the L like squiggly line onthe weather map, that's Jesus
pushing that through. That's him.
Bit finished anyways, quest 1 gust to Cooper for knowing about
wind, which you know what you guys are.
(14:02):
You guys are pretty good at thisat this air trivia so far.
Question 5 I'm I'm starting to think you guys might be air
benders questions is not about Avatar Last Airbender because
there's a whole episode about that that you can go listen to
too. Way back in episode 14.
I had no idea. Really.
That that. Yeah, it was that long.
(14:23):
Wow. But.
Image. Was on sad.
Image. It doesn't.
I'm sorry, let me take that back.
I got rationally mad at Bitch. I don't remember a single thing
about that episode. Oh, I didn't forget how I got.
Fucking robbed. I got robbed in the Avatar
episode and I got robbed in the fucking core episode and then
tried to do it again in the fucking D&D.
(14:43):
Nitpicks you about the. Moles, literally just I'm still
upset about. It got yeah, so we can put that
behind us, but. I can't.
It's OK, nobody can the. Rest of us will.
Question 5 is actually about thefirst real airbenders, AKA the
first humans to harness wind energy.
(15:06):
Multiple choice. Which of these happened first?
A Ancient Egyptians used sails to move their boats down the
Nile B Ancient Chinese used windpowered water pumps C Ancient
Persians used wind power to grind grain or D Ancient
Tibetans used wind to drive their prayer wheels.
(15:28):
Cameron. China B.
I'm sorry, that's not the oldest.
Aiden I think it's Tibetans. I'm sorry, that's not the oldest
either, but they did do that. What are prayer wheels?
They're like cylinder things with inscriptions on them that
yeah, outside like temples and the air like spins them.
(15:48):
Yeah, yeah. Literally the thing in Core that
she tries to walk through is based off of that off the
Tibetan prayer wheels a little bit.
So that leaves. That's the Egyptians, and
there's the other one. Persian Egyptians and the
Persians. Egyptians using sails or
Persians using wind power to grind grain.
I don't think they needed wind power to go down the Nile, so
(16:10):
I'll do the Persians. That one is not the oldest.
It's the Egyptians. They use sail go down the Nile.
Are all of these true Alec? They are all true, it's just
that the Egyptians, there's evidence that they use sails to
go down the Nile as far back as 5000 BC and all these other
challenges. Yeah, I was about to say I think
(16:30):
I. Want to just?
Suck you dry. I the the the history in China
is way older than all of those other civilizations.
You know what I'm going to, I'm going to withhold and I'll let
Cameron do it just so we can have the cool dramatic effect if
you want to do. It all right Cameron, get out
(16:52):
your. Back my breath.
He's got it. Suck me, do it.
You're wrong. Sorry, Karen.
Climate change has caused three of your gusts to disappear.
I've I've somehow. If Jesus does, when does Jesus
(17:16):
do climate change? I mean, no, that's all us.
We. Leave that to the theologians
like John Priestley to determine.
Well, I thought he was Joseph Logiston.
It's actually the logiston that causes.
Climate change don't be legit. Well Cameron, I'm sorry but you
did not totally asphyxiate your opponents, instead you just anti
(17:39):
gusted yourself. And that brings us to the end of
round one. Can we get a gust check?
We. Got 2.
A vacuum has been applied to me.I'm at -2.
Gusts negative. My goodness.
I'm in space. I'm at 1 gust.
Wow, OK, so it's still anyone's game, let's be honest.
But for now, for now, Oh my goodness, there's so many gusts
(18:01):
of wind, I don't think we can handle it.
Whoa, whoa, looks like we got blown all the way to the
audience question. Last week we asked how long does
it take for a bald eagle to become fully bald?
(18:22):
The answer was 5.5 years looks like.
Joey. Concannon was the first to write
in with the closest answer, so that's one gusty point to you.
Wahoo. You know, Cameron, these windy
conditions have got me thinking about one of my favorite things
(18:43):
to do in the wind. What contraption used in wind is
named for a type of bird? Again, one windhorn is a
contraption is named for a type of bird.
Write your answer, the comments on Spotify, YouTube or the
latest Instagram post for a chance at earning A gusty point
(19:03):
of your very own, as well as a shout out on next week's
episode. And while you're at it, give us
a like, subscribe or a follow onyour podcast player so you don't
miss an episode. We make a new one every week
just for you. Say it together, buddy.
And now, back to the show. We're and here we are back and
(19:33):
it's time for round two. Round 2 is titled Up Where the
Air is Clear. Wow.
Strong is all about humans trying to get up in the air.
Who wrote that book? Something Travers Humans have
long dreamed of soaring in the air.
(19:54):
This dream became a reality withthe first viable flying
machines, hot air balloons. The first manned untethered
balloon ride took place in 1783 in Paris.
Who did King Louis the 16th insist should man the first
untethered flight? It's multiple choice.
Just off the Dome. A himself B2 condemned criminals
(20:20):
C his two adolescent sons, or D Benjamin Franklin.
Give me. Benjamin Franklin.
I'm sorry, it wasn't Benjamin Franklin, but he was there.
He watched the first. That's.
Osplay, was that a? Word.
I learned about this, and I had a class in which I learned about
the history of aviation. I remember we learned about.
(20:41):
This all right, Eric Cooper. I want to say himself.
No, he did not volunteer himself.
I'm sorry. That is very on brand for Louie.
It's down to UK. Classic Louie.
It was the criminals. That's correct.
He wanted to send two condemned criminals, but the but the a
military guy like petitioned to be the first one to go up
(21:03):
because he thought someone of higher nobility should get the
honor of being the first one to fly.
That was Joseph Priest. I just remember so it was.
Joseph. Priest The.
Whole thing was I'm back to zerowins.
Vacuum has been turned off. The whole thing is that there
were like brothers that made this air, this this balloon.
But then like the first ever. The first airplane it was 2.
(21:26):
Brothers. No, I'm talking about a balloon.
The hot air balloon. It actually wasn't a hot air
balloon, right? It was like hydrogen or
something like that. Because the first death was one
of their wives. Like it caught on fire, am I
right? They did do hydrogen balloons
but I'm pretty sure hot air balloons were first or they're
(21:47):
doing out the same can. Still catch on fire.
That's the hot part of it. You're doing the hot.
Yeah, actually you are literallyusing an open flame.
Yeah, one rope gets into that sucker.
The Chinese did do that first with their lanterns, but as far
as we know they didn't person there.
But you mean a lot of this is just like we don't know.
(22:07):
There was a theory that the Nazca lines that you can only
see from up in the sky were donewith the aid of people that were
up in hot air balloons. Because there was a guy who was
like a really famous ballooner who like broke all kinds of
records. He built a hot air balloon using
only the methods that they wouldhave had at the time in Peru,
(22:29):
and he was able to go fly up in the air in it.
It's not the craziest thing. It's interesting.
He's basically like, yeah, if you have fire and a loom, you
can fly. So any civilization could have
done that and we just don't know.
About the Nosca Valley, Dang it.Correct me if I'm wrong, right?
Nazca is a valley. Peru.
I don't know actually. The Nazca lines are in the A
(22:50):
valley. It is also possible that they
use gliders. Maybe they use gliders, but
apparently that's way harder as we will learn.
Very interesting question 7. The next lighter than air means
of transportation to be developed was the airship, also
known as a Dirichable. Perhaps the best known are the
Zeppelins of the early 20th century, which culminated in the
(23:12):
infamous Hindenburg disaster. This is multiple choice.
After an investigation, what wasdetermined to be the cause of
the fire that resulted in the Hindenburg disaster?
Cooper has sniped, as Mitch would say.
I believe, and this is what I heard, that there was a backfire
on one of the engines which lit the outside of the balloon and
(23:35):
then let the hydrogen. All right.
That is. That is not the right answer
according to what I saw. OK.
OK, OK, that's fine. But here are the choices for
Aiden and Cameron. A sabotage AKA saboteur planted
a flame BA cigarette from one ofthe passengers.
(23:57):
CA fuel leak and spark from one of the propeller engines.
So that's kind of similar to what Cooper said.
So I'll just tell you that's wrong.
Or D static electricity which ignited leaking hydrogen.
Cameron. It's between the cigarette and
the electricity. You can't say D because you
buzzed in before that one was red so.
(24:19):
Watch. I'm.
Not allowed. For some reason I wanted static
electricity. You don't give it to him.
Don't give it to him. I was waiting for that.
That's. Correct, but you're on thin ice,
damn it. I I think I always heard that
like it wasn't completely known.Yeah, I think it was.
(24:40):
There was a lot of you know, to do about people thought it was
sabotage because is right around, you know, Nazi times and
stuff. I do love like media where there
where it's like futuristic and they thought zeppelins were
gonna be the big thing and like cities had Zeppelin ports.
Oh yeah, That's like the classic.
The trivia is the top of the Empire State Building was
(25:02):
originally meant to be a spot where zeppelins could anchor.
And you could. I mean, it's also not totally
unreasonable that if we had not had the Hindenburg or there was
a safer way to. Do it.
It's really slow. You can't transport a lot of
people. I think it just wouldn't have
worked. And it's just pretty dangerous.
Apparently the Hindenburg, they were supposed to use helium, but
(25:23):
the US had a like an embargo on Germany and would not ship them
on helium. So that's why they used hydrogen
and that's that's very cool. And.
That's all air, technically. It's all air air, just like this
episode. Wow.
All right, that's two more guststo Cameron, but he's but he's
something nice. So, you know, yeah, I don't know
(25:44):
how we do the accounting on that, but Question 8.
Airplanes have become the main mode of air travel, yet they
themselves are heavier than air count.
Others tried making gliders and flying machines before the
Wright brothers first sustained flight in 19 O3 place these
flying contraption designs, somewhich are alleged in
(26:06):
chronological order. That's awesome actually.
Mr. History of Aviation. Guys might want to write down I
feel. I'm feeling good about this, but
my history of aviation hasn't helped me in the last two
questions. A ton.
If you're just looking like history of flight, there's like
a million. So I just picked out ones I
thought were free. Here they are.
Is everyone ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(26:27):
OK. A Robert Hooks spring Powered
Ornithopter, B Elmer of Mames Berry's Wings, C the Ottoman
rocket, D Sir George Kaylee's aerial steam carriage and E
Leonardo da Vinci's aerial Screw.
(26:47):
Nice. So put those in order
chronologically from oldest to most recent.
Cameron, why don't you reveal your order?
I'm going Ottoman Rocket da Vinci's screw, that British
guy's wings, the steam carriage,and then the ornithopter.
(27:10):
Steam. I feel like I'm so far off now.
I feel like these could almost go in any order.
Yeah, it's I. Literally just, I just was like.
This. Makes the most sense.
OK. Cooper, what was your order?
OK, my order was Leonardo da Vinci, then the Ottoman rocket,
then Kaylee's steam carriage, then hooks ornithopter than the
(27:33):
wings. Cooper, you were actually
weren't off my first guess. That was kind of where I was
started. At Yeah and Aiden.
I started with the wings becausethat feel like people saw birds
and did that first. Then I went Davinci's screw cuz
I know it's pretty early. Then ornithopter cuz I think
spring power came before steam power.
(27:54):
Then the aerial steam carriage which rocks, and then the
Ottoman rocket because I know the Ottomans were still around
like World War One time, so maybe that one's later.
OK, I. I based it off of the people and
that's their names. I don't know.
So Cooper got one right. Nice.
Like in the right spot, Aidan got two in the right spot.
(28:15):
Let's go, baby. Cameron got none in the right
spot. So I so I.
Get one right spot or like. That's what I, that's what I'm,
that's what I'm trying to to. Turn them in the Chronicle.
Who got them? Most chronologically, I mean,
you all mixed some up. So here I'm going to let me just
say them and then we'll work it out.
OK. The first one was Elmer of
(28:35):
Amesbury's wings. That was just a monk who
strapped some feathers to himself and jumped off a tower
and they left. That's awesome.
That's so good. And so exactly what I thought.
So many people jumped off towerswith bird feathers on their arms
trying to, Yeah. That's so awesome.
The next. I assume a lot of people died
doing that too. Right.
(28:55):
Oh, he broke both of his legs doing that.
Yeah. Leonardo da Vinci's aerial screw
was the next one. That's 15th century is when he
drew it, though it wasn't discovered until the 18th
century. The third one is the Ottoman
rocket. This was just a story that was
told that we don't know if it happened, but in 16, 33 there is
(29:17):
an account of a guy who lit 150 lbs of gunpowder underneath a
cone like thing that he got. Yeah.
This is on Mythbusters. It was it was on Mythbusters,
yes. And she told the Sultan that
he's like, I'm going to meet Jesus.
And then they launched him into the Bay like the like the the
sea. He got out, swam back to shore
(29:37):
and he was like Jesus is not ready to meet me yet or
something like that. He had like some joke about.
How he did, that's crazy. But that was all that's that's
pretty alleged. They're like people like people
like the myth Busters basically busted that.
There's like there's no way he could have survived a rocket
launch with they had no steel oranything like that.
Like he would have just been like, I don't know what he would
(29:58):
have been in, but like, well, nothing well could have been
welded together anyway. The 4th 1 is Robert Hooks spring
powered ornithopter, which was just a design that never
actually got built. But Robert Hook is a hooks law
guy. Yeah, like material science
stuff. Wow.
And that was also 17th century. And then the last one is Sir
(30:21):
George Kaylee's. Aerial, so I only had one.
Kaylee was like the father of a lot of this.
One is Sir Mix a lot. I only had I had Ottoman rocket
last instead of where it should be, but everything else was
correct. Yeah, so Aiden only got 2 mixed
up and he got 2 exactly right. So I feel like that one goes to
Aiden. I'm really a fan of that mug who
jumped off a tower with his wings it.
(30:43):
Is awesome. And the aerial steam carriage.
I mean the guy broke both his legs.
I remember Kaylee is like one ofthe foundational people of like
aviation. OK, those gusts go to Aiden and
we are now on to question 9. Within a few more decades,
Amelia Earhart was making history in aviation.
(31:06):
She's on my shirt right now, actually.
Which of the following firsts did Earhart achieve?
Hey. I know this.
OK. I'm not buzzing in yet.
First one to be eaten by crabs. No.
Sorry. Probably captured by the
Japanese. No to that as well.
She probably just sunk in the ocean because that's the biggest
(31:29):
thing out there. A First woman to fly non-stop in
solo across the Atlantic B. First person to cross the
Atlantic twice by air C First woman to fly solo and non-stop
across the US or D First person to fly non-stop in solo from
Hawaii to the US mainland. Is this what is true?
(31:52):
Yeah. Which one of these was did she
do Cooper? DI know she did that one first.
She did not do it. She was not the first one to do
non-stop in solo from Hawaii to the US mainland.
She had a partner on that. She had a partner.
She did that trip. But she was the first one to do
that trip. Which was I said non-stop and
solo. I don't know what to tell me it
(32:13):
doesn't. Really, she was not solo.
Thearden. Dangers I think.
Was she the first one to do there and back?
She was not the first one. She'd go there and back.
She child. Charles Lindbergh was.
Yeah, I was thinking Charles Lindbergh might have chickened
out on the way back. Well, the way back.
There to Saint Louis, my air across the Atlantic, twice by
(32:35):
air. Can you read off the other two
options again for me? We're all.
For don't well, the two of them are have been deemed incorrect,
so I'll read you the other two. First woman to fly non-stop in
solo across the Atlantic, or first woman to fly solo and
non-stop across the US? God, both feel right.
Maybe it's both. It's not both.
(32:58):
I feel like it'd be Atlantic. She had a partner.
No, she had a partner when she tried to.
Fly around the world, right? Yeah, I my first gut reaction
was a I'm going a. Is correct.
She's first time to play nonstopand solo across the Atlantic.
See, that's the one I thought that we all learned that I was
like, am I second guessing myself?
Alec Vacuum, vacuum. Why not you?
(33:20):
Guys, this feels like a good one.
I. Appreciate the attempts, yeah.
But it's not great, Cooper. Right.
No, no, I'm not challenging. All right, Cameron, would you
mind doing a sucking effect for us?
Cameron suck suck for us. You sucked the truth out of me,
Aiden. This is the challenge Question.
(33:42):
What? Asphyxiated.
They are all correct. She did all of those That's.
What I was thinking she. Was first solo from.
So are you giving me the points for the question?
Believe I've been do. You get all of it I.
Can't believe it was my points then.
Andrew. Got here when I was at my low.
Cameron, you didn't get the right answer.
(34:02):
You do not get those 3 guts. Well, tell me you did.
Get a right answer. Well, no.
Do I get my 2 points? Well, traditionally you don't
get the points if somebody. Challenges mid round.
What are you talking about? Take him off, Cameron.
That's Aidan gets two guys that feels so good.
Three guys and Cooper and Cameron have been totally
(34:23):
asphyxiated. They cannot answer the next two
questions. It took till the last element
episode for a. Oh my gosh.
I can't. You got me when I was at mine
and it's. Because you 2 doubted a woman.
You doubted a woman doubted a woman.
Let that be your downfall. You.
Gaslighted me. Thank you, I was so sure on the
(34:44):
other one. Super ghastly.
But I got, I got so. Like.
You got being down on the other ones.
Where you were like that's not right, even though I remember
learning about the Hindenburg with the other theory and you're
like no, incorrect. Cooper had three questions this
time. But he's like, I learned about
this, I was just dead wrong. I did want to touch on the thing
(35:09):
where she flew across the Atlantic twice.
She didn't fly there and back. She flew across it twice, 2
separate OK. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Cool, and the first time she wasactually just a passenger, but
she still was the first person to cross.
The Atlantic twice to cross the air.
Wow, that's really interesting. The first person to cross the
Atlantic twice by air. Yeah, but she was also the first
(35:31):
woman to. Cross Yeah.
So her second trip was she was the first woman to cross solo.
OK, so she. Was a passenger when the 1st and
then she said to do it. When she was the passenger, she
was the first woman to cross theAtlantic nonstop.
I plan. She wasn't.
Yes, but that's Pilot. But yeah, she was also just.
Yeah, anyways. Can't believe it.
That feels great. Can't believe I feel.
(35:52):
So good you guys got to. Hold, you brag.
Here we go. Question 10 Nowadays, almost
anyone can fly thanks to the prevalence of commercial
airlines. As you may have guessed, there
used to be way more regional airlines that have since been
consolidated into larger corporations.
(36:12):
OK, this one's going to be interesting because it was like,
designed to be like closest friends, but now it's just so
that's really funny. I feel like out of fairness.
Oh, and the next one's Charlie Chaplin rules.
So this is. A.
This is a crazy time to we couldyou could just push the
asphyxiation later on if. Well, you should just like make
(36:33):
it. He's got to get OK.
I'll do that Alec. I'll just give you the flat out
the answers. Tight, tighter bound.
OK, you want to just get it exactly right.
You're. Closest.
Close enough. Here you go.
All right, so this ones about commercial airlines, I will give
you some old regional airlines and you can tell me if they were
consolidated into United, Delta or American Airlines.
(36:55):
Okay, all right, here they are. You're not gonna get this right.
Well, give me like a, give me a threshold to beat.
Like how many are there? The six.
So it just goes. Maybe they're 4 for six or
something like that. Gotta get all 5 if.
You get if you get 4 out of 6, great.
We'll see if you could do that here.
They are Varney Airlines. Don't get all ready.
(37:21):
Western air Express. Colonial air transport.
Beautiful. Northwest Airlines.
Literally none of these airlines.
National air Transport. Oh, okay.
(37:43):
And finally, Transworld Airlinesand my options are what?
United Delta or American OK National?
Air American Northwest and Western Express I think are both
Delta. I'll just say that.
Actually, no. I'm just going to say it.
(38:04):
Yeah, am I already wrong? I can neither confirm nor deny
your scores thus. They're both.
Delta Colonial is united, Varneyis united, and then trans wine
is American, and I think that was all of them.
OK, you did get exactly 4 right.Let's go.
So I think we're going to give them the two gusts.
(38:24):
That's insane. That's what that's the rules we
said. So wow, you got the 2D ones
right. National air is united,
Transworld is American. Colonial is American and Varney
is United is united. So you mixed up a couple of
those. Nice.
Good stuff. All right, that's the end of
round too. So what's our guts check?
(38:45):
The asphyxiated may briefly on asphyxiate.
To 11. Do you have 11?
Oh my God. He's gone crazy in the last two
questions. Well, I had four and then you
stole my points from me, so now I have two.
I have one. There are 15 gusts up for grabs
in Round 3, so let's see who gets them.
Just for Aiden. This one, Aiden, I'm going to be
(39:07):
pretty strict on question 11:00 you got to you got to get this
one like pretty. Much Can you give me two tries
to do it? No.
OK, you can think about what youwant to say.
OK. I historically, I don't really
do that very often, but we'll try.
Here we go question 11 Oh sorry,round 3 is titled Oh yes, please
tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air.
(39:29):
Colon air as a commodity. Oh, so this is all about.
Commercial. Stuff that has air to do with
it. All right, Question 11 Airbnb is
a room and home rental broker which has upended the travel
industry. But why is it called Airbnb?
(39:49):
And I'm and I will specifically say I know B&B stands for bed
and breakfast. OK, I was.
Going to say that's the only part I got locked in.
Why bed and Breakfast? OK, so I'm, I'm between two
things. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna say
them both out loud and then I'm gonna pick.
So one like air, as in like overthe airwaves, Internet, you can
(40:11):
do it like from anywhere, right?That kind of thing.
But the other thing is like giveyou some space to breathe, like
you're not cramped in a hotel room.
And I'm leaning towards that onemore, so I'm going to go with
that. OK, more air.
More air. OK, I like that, but I'm sorry,
it's not. Damn.
It's OK. So Aiden's not going to get that
one. The real answer is that the
(40:34):
founders originally rented out their San Francisco apartment
living room to people coming to into town for a conference, and
all they offered them was air mattresses.
That's cool. It was literally air B air bed
and. Breakfast air.
Bed Air. Bed and breakfast.
I like air breakfast. Yeah cuz I forgot the air BB
used to be like a rent out one of your rooms type of thing
(40:55):
before. Yeah, it started out as just
rooms. Yeah, not.
Aiden missed that. I have a chance at the wind now.
Let's go, go right, you guys. Sweet, you guys have been
brought back from near death. We.
Got some new air in your lunch and you're ready to answer
question 12 just about Airpods. Nice question 12.
(41:18):
Apple Airpods, the successor to the wired Earpods, released
alongside the courageously headphone jackless iPhone seven.
Wow. And have since become very
popular. OK, this is the one that I could
not figure out how to word, but here it is.
Which of the following tech companies did generate more
(41:39):
revenue than Airpods alone in 2020?
Three. OK, it makes sense.
So Airpods outsold most of these, but which one did
generate more revenue than Airpods?
Just the product, Airpods, outsourcing companies, yeah.
In 2023 OK 2023, which was the most recent data I could find?
A Airbnb. B Spotify, C Nintendo or D Adobe
(42:07):
Cameron. Spotify.
I'm sorry Airpods outsold Spotify.
That's more. People are getting headphones
than listen. To it's through Spotify Air
Cooper. This is tough.
This is tough. I was going to say Nintendo.
I'm sorry, Airpods also outsold Nintendo 2023.
(42:32):
It's. Airbnb or the one that I was
going to say Adobe. Oh that's see, that's tough
because Adobe everybody pirates that shit, but also their stuff
super expensive. I don't think Airbnb makes like
too too much crazy money becausemost of the profit goes into the
homeowner. So I'll say Adobe.
That is correct. Adobe outsold Airpods.
(42:54):
Adobe made 19 billion. Airpods made 18 billion wow,
Nintendo 12, Spotify 14, Airbnb ten wow in 2019, which this is a
different year, but because thisis just when I found the fact.
But people spent more than $700 million just in replacing lost
Airpods. That's great.
(43:14):
So it seems like a good that seems like a.
Great business model, makes themtinier and harder to find.
Yeah. Also people be swallowing their
Airpods a lot. Really.
That's one of my. Greatest fears when?
I fall asleep with them in. Is that that?
Can't happen. There's so many new stories
where people swallowing their Airpods when they fall asleep.
(43:34):
Thank you for. Exactly that cannot.
Thing where you put the headphones in your nose and open
your. Mouth not a speaker that no, I
refuse to accept that to be affected.
You, don't you? Don't have to swallow your.
I'm not telling you you have to swallow your Earpods.
Camera just don't just tell you that people have been doing.
(43:55):
I refuse to accept that. Do you?
Pregnant women actually swallow well.
Probably their babies can listento music.
Yeah. There's just no way that's true.
When I eat the placenta and I bite into the Airpod.
There's just no way it's true that someone has bad people.
So you can believe whatever you want to believe.
(44:16):
It's a free. I think it's a weird but.
True know it all Airpods. Do you want to vacuum this guy
Fun. Fact I'm already.
Challenging this question. All we have now is to use our
knowledge to get the most gusts.So let's move on to question 13.
If there's one thing I love about air, it's that we learned
how to condition it. The invention of air
(44:37):
conditioning by Willis H Carrierin 19 O 2 has become a staple in
US households. But at what cost?
Correct. No, it's more.
It's a little more than that. A million.
Which of the following air conditioner facts is sadly true?
A Air conditioners are less efficient than electric heaters
(45:00):
D Air conditioning is linked to an increase in asthma.
C Americans use more electricityfor air conditioning than the
entire continent of Africa uses in general or D We have yet to
develop a refrigerant material that does not 'cause damage to
the ozone layer. Cameron.
C. That is sadly true Cameron.
(45:22):
You get 3 gusts. We're using more electricity on
air conditioning than all of Africa.
This is what is false, right? No, this is which is sadly true.
Sadly true. Oh, OK.
So, sadly, Cameron got. True, but you're sad about it.
So, sadly, Cameron got points, yeah.
Oh, so he got points. Oh OK, sorry I was really.
You got 3, Cameron got 3 gusts. I'm sad about it, I was going to
(45:44):
say, because I I knew for certain some of those were false
because that's my job. OK, yeah, they're actually
really efficient in general, butwe just use a lot of them.
And then the new A2L refrigerants that they have that
just came out are not going to damage the ozone layer.
They're less global warming potential or they have less
(46:05):
global warming potential, but they're flammable now.
So all the new refrigerant goingin, it's like very, it's very
mildly flammable, but it's stillflammable.
So you have to do a lot of protection stuff.
Day didn't know that there's your And it's also actually not
linked to an increase in asthma.It's linked to a decrease in
asthma. So that is a good thing because
you're like filtering the air more. 3 guts to Cameron and
(46:25):
we're on to question 14 Question14 Air Jordans.
The basketball shoes were developed by Nike as a part of a
brand deal with NBA star MichaelJordan.
Since 198439 different models have been developed, I'm going
to send you some photos of the 1st 5 Air Jordans which are
(46:46):
amongst the most coveted by sneaker heads.
Place these sneakers in order from Air Jordan Ones to Air
Jordan 5. Oh my gosh.
A nice a nice visual thing for our audio media, but you can
watch on Spotify or YouTube if you want to see.
Here are your Air Jordan options.
You can tell me in order or whatorder you would put them in.
(47:08):
The following images are displayed a a black basketball
shoe BA, white basketball shoe CA, red, white and black
basketball shoe DA. Black and gold basketball shoe
and EA black, green and red basketball shoe.
Hope this helps. This is a vibe answer.
(47:30):
It's a vibe based answer for sure.
I will tell you Rachel got this exactly right when I showed.
It to her, that's crazy. It has like fashion sense,
fashion sense. Yeah, none of you guys have
that. I'm ready.
Sorry you guys already busted. Cameron Cameron, what was your
order? CBEAD.
(47:51):
OK, Cooper. Yeah, CA BED.
Or truly illusible audio experience.
OK. And Aiden C.
EDAB. My gosh, you all only mixed up
two. Dang.
I know C is right. Yeah, C has to be the first.
I know C is the first. You all got C, right?
(48:13):
Nice. Are you gonna do a differential?
The answer is CEBAD. Wow.
BAD. Nice.
Oh, the D is the newest one. Those are the Yeah, this is the
ugliest look. Yeah, Cooper, you have the
highest differential. Yeah, that one's going to go to,
I guess, both Aiden and Cameron.All right. 3 gusts each on that
(48:37):
one. I'm losing it.
Don't worry though, because question 15 is a speed round and
there are seven gusts up for grabs in question.
If only I'd gotten any other questions right.
That's awesome. Here we are.
Wait, let's do a little What's agust check before we do the
(48:57):
last? 17 gusts.
My gosh, my God. I've got 8 gusts.
I have one. Still.
So Alex, if you wanna put this in range of Aiden not winning,
you can take away those three points you just gave them and
give them to me. And then there's.
No basis for that. There's no basis for that, yes.
There's one worth all the marbles.
(49:20):
Then I have a shot. Yeah, how about you just make
the last one worth 20 points? I'm just going to be honest, I
think Aiden should win this episode because he got vacuum.
I got the Super son. Anyways, we'll get question 15
and and and you guys can still be happy about it if you get
some points from it. So let's see question 15.
(49:42):
I'm going to cram the last few air items into a speed round.
For each item I describe, the first one to buzz in with the
correct air item gets one gust. There are 7 gusts on the table,
so each answer is air Something air, bud.
All right, the first one. Here we go.
A futuristic arcade game invented in the 1960s by
(50:06):
Brunswick Billiards. Wait, I'm so sorry, I did not
have the buzzer. Come on, come on, come on.
No, Cooper sounded. Like air hockey?
That is right. One gust for Cooper, the.
Shout Cooper. Next, the hand gesture I made
while reading the previous clue.Oh, it was paying attention.
(50:28):
Not me, not I, I was trying to buzz, trying to think of a head
gesture with air. Guitar.
No, I did not do it. The air guitar.
I can't think of my interest in the source of the air, honestly.
Play the tape back. Do it again and we can just see
who gets it quick for sure. The previous thing I read was a
(50:50):
futuristic arcade game invented the 1960 I.
Know it now? Airden.
Air quotes. Air quotes.
It's Air. It was Air Cooper who got in
first. No, he, no, I I already guess
clear. Oh.
Air. Quotes.
It's time. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The third one, an art form whosenational championships take
(51:11):
place in San Francisco this year, aired in.
Is that air guitar? That is air guitar, the national
air guitar I heard about. That I'm.
So close. The next one, their mascot, is a
smiling balloon. Oh, shoot.
Airheads. It's airheads, guys, he's
(51:32):
running I. Can't believe it took me that
long. The next one, a popular
appliance invented in 2010, Air fryer.
It's an air fryer. Sorry, I had that one.
I was like, that's coming. Yeah.
That's good preload like in my mind.
OK, a toy I was too afraid to play with as a kid because of
how much it hurt air. Plugs like the helicopters.
(51:57):
No, not no. I know this one.
Come on. Cameron.
Airsoft. Dang it, it's airsoft.
Me too, dude, me too. Those hurts.
Those Airhawk. Helicopters hurt if you get run
into. Oh, I never played with those.
Aiden's like I, I, I know what my sister is.
Great with it and the last one, a 1997 sports movie classic
(52:18):
which inspired the whole franchise.
Forget it. Big money. 10 points.
Air Bud. Air will be bud.
Air will. What about air ball?
I couldn't. They do all of them.
You want me to just keep going? Keep going, keep going.
Yeah, Mr. I need to go to bed right now, OK?
I want to beat Aiden. So what's our final gust check?
1T gusts. That's crazy.
(52:40):
I'm. Gusting these gusts, I'm
gusting. Gusting gusts. 10 for game, yes.
Wow, crazy differential between Yeah, do do do score based on
differential. Arden is for sure the winner of
this episode. Congratulations, Arden, you can
fly into the sky much like ElmerManesbury wished he.
(53:03):
Could. Do I experienced learned
helplessness as I got things that I thought I would know
wrong? I have to say, Alex, I like I
like the incentive to challenge,but it really kind of sucked the
air out. It really is you guys.
You guys were so upset. But you know what?
No, it was more it had to be the.
(53:24):
Words. It was just you and Aiden having
a conversation. You know what?
You still could have come back and and you chose not to.
So don't they? Still flame Alex.
Dude Alex who won the water episode?
That's a good question. I'm trying to figure out who is
the elemental winner. That's good.
(53:45):
Who's the elemental winner? I don't think cuz.
I won Fire, Aiden won Air, Mitchwon Earth.
So. John 1 water.
John 1 Water. So now elementals.
Need to. Face Are we doing an?
Ether episode We could do an ether episode with the winners
of the previous Aiden. Me, Aiden, John and Mitch need
(54:08):
to go head to head to head to head.
To determine who write 15 questions about ether.
Or or it could be the periodic table episode where you just
have like really tough like chemical elements, the chemical
elements. John.
John would win that. Yeah.
OK, oxygen. Right, I'd like to shout out
Alec for a really great series of four elemental episodes,
(54:29):
then. We do get out to see who the
avatar is. I.
I want to shout out to our listeners that went to
bustandtrivia.com and filled outour listener survey because they
keep forgetting to shout them out.
Thank you to Nico, thank you to Mr. NYLT, thank you to the
future Misses Cruz, who maybe bynow you are just misses.
She is misses Cruz now. Thank you to Cheesy Steak and
(54:53):
Froggy, your feedback is great. We super appreciate it.
Anyone else? If you have feedback, go to
bustandtrivia.com and fill out the survey and you can get a
shout out too. While you're there, check out
our merch and maybe follow us onsocials at bus and trivia.
And don't forget to answer that audience question.
Finally, I'd like to thank you 3for being on this episode.
(55:15):
Staying up past your bedtime, you guys.
And finally, finally, we'd like to thank Vert for the use of our
theme song 5978, which is a steam powered aerial carriage.
Thanks for riding Bus 1. Actually, thanks for writing
this. Aerial character Steve Barrett.
Aerial character Steve Paris. Aerial character.
(55:50):
Cameron, did you want to tell a story about earth, wind and
fire? Oh yeah.
So yeah. So is this going to make it into
the episode? Because otherwise I don't want
to talk about it. It might keep her recording.
So this last the same time I'll tell my joke.
This last weekend I went to a fireworks and fountain light
show that was all set to Earth, Wind and Fire songs.
(56:10):
It was the whitest thing I've ever been a part of in my life.
It was at a Botanical Garden. That's that's.
Awesome, actually. But also the lights were
horribly timed and the fireworkswere like only 100 feet away, so
it was really, really loud and you couldn't see the fountains
because the smoke. Fire.
Not enough earth and wind, so Argon walks into a bar and the
(56:32):
bartender says.
Welcome aboard Bus 1. We're on our way to Airly
Oregon, and we've got some time to kill.
Let's play some trivia, gamers. Introduce yourselves.
It's Aiden. Hello everyone.
It's. A happy birthday.
(00:27):
That's awesome. Must have been the wind.
It's Cooper. That was good.
That was good. What should not be the air
episode, Yeah. Actually, sorry, I'm not sorry
guys. This.
One's about nuts again. Yeah.
Welcome to Fire Partly. Yeah, I didn't prepare very
well, so the topic is still a little up in the air.
(00:51):
Pause for raucous laughter. Actually, that's a good idea.
Let's do air trivia. Today we are completing the
Elemental series. Who?
Could have guessed. Yes, I would finally be for you
for this episode. Here are the rules tonight.
I'm wondering who is the biggestairhead you know, someone who is
(01:15):
really obsessed with air. Well, we'll have 3 rounds of
five questions each to determinethis.
Questions in round one are worth1 gust, Round 2 is worth 2
gusts, and round 3 is worth 3 gusts.
Most gusts at the end gets the win.
First one to buzz in gets the gust.
(01:35):
Gustiest airhead at the end willwin.
But be warned there will be a challenge question.
Once during this game I will lieand provide an answer that is
not actually correct. You each get one chance to
answer, to challenge an answer, to earn 3 gusts.
But challenge the wrong one and you'll lose 3 gusts.
Because of climate change, you'll hit the doldrums.
(01:58):
Because of climate. Change not because of climate
change. But don't just wait till the
end. Here.
We go yeah game to take advantage of the vacuum.
Anti air. If you are the first, second.
Back. Super second back.
(02:21):
If you are the first one to challenge a given question mid
game and you are correct, you will totally asphyxiate your
opponent, AKA they will answer the next two questions.
This is fantastic. It's never happened.
You should. Do it.
It's probably not gonna happen. If it lands, the other two
(02:42):
people have to hold their breathfor two questions.
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. And do not Google.
Do not Google. Do not do airheads.
Don't Google. Cue the common law.
I was. I was.
Thinking about this from the last.
Episode Oh Google, we should geta Google.
I was thinking with Google I'm gonna big.
Like. Sure it's against the rules, but
we we need to make it like completely frowned upon.
(03:05):
Like you'll be shunned out of existence if you not.
Only is it against the rules? It's pretty cringe.
Thank you. I'm gonna Google.
That's what I'm point proven. Yeah, instantly.
All right, round one, hold your breath.
(03:26):
The alchemy of air. Why we got to stop naming?
Last time was a romance novel, this one is fantasy.
Now I can't, I can't take full credit.
I mean The Alchemy of Air, that's a real book title.
Oh OK. About the scientists that
learned how to harness nitrogen from the air to create
(03:46):
fertilizer. Anyways, question 1 is about,
not that. Good The the the the the person
who discovered how to take nitrogen out.
Of the air question one. Who, what, who?
What is the book? I'll shoot you everywhere.
Air is one part oxygen, 3.76 parts nitrogen.
(04:09):
Anyways, question one. What Earth, Fire.
Air. Long ago, these were identified
as the four classical elements. Then everything changed when
Joseph Priestly attacked. You guys know about Joseph
Priestly? No, No.
You're going to have to refresh my memory.
(04:30):
Is he the guy that wrote The Alchemy of Mirror?
No, he's not. But, well, he didn't do it
single handedly, but his scientific work helped to usher
in the age of modern chemistry. In fact, he's credited as the
discoverer of oxygen. But what did Priestly originally
call oxygen? Multiple choice.
(04:51):
A fixed air, B noxious air, C deflogisticated air or D fire
air. Did I say D twice?
Don't anyway. Deflogisticate me please.
Cameron. Deflogisticated Air.
That's right. That's what it's so.
(05:12):
Good, it's. Because because it didn't have
Flogiston in it, which is what scientists used to think is what
caused things to catch on fire. Was Flogiston?
No way. And because it provided.
Yeah, it is. It made sense.
He was a proponent of the Flogiston theory.
Don't worry about it. I read on just tonight, do you
(05:38):
guys want to hear like 8 fun facts?
I remember, yes. We know how to save it for the
Joseph Priestly shortcut episodeis.
Flagician, part of the LGBTQ plus community.
The LGBTD is for, D for logistical, D for.
She she Flagiston on. She.
(06:00):
She flogged on my jist just tillI hate it.
Justin. Until it went in.
I, Justin. Yeah, sorry, we gotta heal this
one. Oxygen, because he put a big
lump of mucuric oxide with a biglens on it and he burned it into
a jar. And so that just released like
pure oxygen. And he found that a flame could
(06:21):
burn really intensely in the jar, and that a mouse could live
for a really long time when he left.
It and the mouse could live forever.
Thank you. A mouse could be a burner.
Forever in the. Quote, Quote.
The feeling of it in my lungs, Priestly wrote, was not sensibly
different than that of common air, but I fancied that my
(06:43):
breast felt peculiarly light andeasy for some time afterwards.
Who can tell but that in time this pure air may become a
fashionable article in luxury? Hitherto, only two mice and
myself have had the privilege ofbreathing it.
Wow, goes hard. Joseph Priestley.
He said he said murky mercury oxide, or.
Mercuric oxide? I don't know.
(07:04):
Doesn't that imply they knew that oxygen?
No, that's just they had a different name for it at the
time. Oh.
That's just mercuric. Just probably just like.
Brown. Stone or something?
Fancy stone? Yeah, Rock.
He also was, like, best friends with Branchman Franklin.
We can move on from Joseph Priestly now.
Too soon, you know. OK, fine.
(07:25):
He also founded the Unitarian Church in America.
OK, Yeah, we can. Move on.
That's where the priestly comes.From Question 20, that goes to
Cameron. Question.
He was Joseph Chemistry. No, he helped found.
Chemistry. So he was Joseph Alchemy.
(07:46):
He was. He was just.
A Logiston. I'm just logiston here, yeah.
I need to put that in my DDDPC character name list.
OK, let me ask a question too. Some may be surprised to learn
that oxygen is not actually the most prevalent element in our
atmosphere, but I know you guys aren't.
(08:07):
What is the most prevalent element in our atmosphere are.
You kidding me? Airden.
Nitrogen. That's just correct.
But don't worry, Cooper, there is a bonus point.
So nitrogen is no, nitrogen is 78%, oxygen is 21%, but bonus
point for the third most prevalent element.
I got it. Sorry.
Let me clear I. Didn't know it.
(08:32):
Carbon incorrect. In the air, In the air, carbon
oxide. We both go in the air.
Carbon dioxide's in the air, butit's not the third most
prevalent, and carbon dioxide isalso more than one element.
I know, but carbon is a part of carbon dioxide.
It's still not the third most. I know this may be a stretch.
Is it? Can I say ozone?
(08:54):
That's oxygen, you can say that.It's not.
An element that's just Oh. Yeah, I'm going to say Helium.
Not that either, Cooper. You got your chance here.
Hydrogen. Nope, sorry.
Gets that bonus point. It's Argon, no?
Way it's argly. 1%. Of the atmosphere's Argon.
Wow, I was shocked to learn. That's really Argon's publicist
(09:15):
working overtime to get that one, yeah.
So I get nothing for knowing that air is one part oxygen,
3.76 parts nitrogen, no? No, that's just Cooper.
That's just a confusing. Way to say knowledge, Cooper.
It's 78% nitrogen, 21%. That's that's the way we put it
into like a combustion like chemical.
Reason. Oh, here we go.
(09:35):
Fucking rocket scientist. Yeah.
Every Argon? Argon doesn't react.
But you will kill you though. You guys want to hear?
A joke? OK no, no, I want to keep on
going. Question 3.
If you breathe an argon, it's going to be a bad time.
Guys, guys, let's chill out a little bit.
Let's all take a deep breath. It's all experience air.
(10:03):
It doesn't faze me. I'm at peace.
I feel refreshed. Oh golly, I just love the
feeling of fresh air in my lungs.
Which of the following lung facts is true?
You're right, these questions are a little rough.
Hey. I'm not even to the rough ones
yet. Hey, when you breathe, your body
(10:23):
uses just a fifth of the oxygen you've inhaled.
The rest is exhaled B Like many parts of the body, your two
lungs are symmetrical. C you take an average of 100
million breaths a day or D your lungs push down your diaphragm,
creating more space in your chest cavity when you inhale
(10:43):
Cameron. It's D.
That's the true one. Yeah, that is incorrect.
Your diaphragm actually is the thing doing the work.
It's it's pushing your more space in your chest cavity which
causes your lungs to inflate. Take your breath.
Aaron, you are next. OK, I don't think it's 100
million breaths a day because I that's.
That's quite too many crazy. So it's either the oxygen or the
(11:06):
symmetrical, and I think your lungs are asymmetric, so I'm
going to say you only use a fifth oxygen.
That is true, Aiden. One gust to you.
Thank you. Yeah, suck it up.
It's in there. Diaphragm, baby.
Yeah, in order to breathe 100 million * a day you would have
to breathe like 1500 times a second.
(11:28):
Yeah, because there's. People probably not be doing
that. Yeah, you breathe like 20,000
ish times a. Day.
Maybe you not. Maybe not you last time.
Alec made the challenge questionsomething that you'd have to do
quick math about. So I need to like, actually math
that one out to make sure he's not just BS.
You said 100 million. 100 million is a lot though.
There is not a fucking chance inthe world.
(11:48):
There's 3600. Yeah, you could.
Vacuum me right now No. I'm not gonna.
I just have to double check my math because last time you're
like, oh, you're an idiot. The earth isn't that big to.
Be fair, I think I said the earth was like 800 million miles
across and no one bat an eye. No, because.
No, you didn't say 800 million. You said something crazy and I
(12:12):
just didn't do it. You said like 800,000.
No, that's what it's act. It's like 8000 miles is the real
that's crazy river something. Like that.
Anyway, that's not. Anyway.
This is the air episode and guess what?
Question 4. Sometimes air be moving and we
call that wind. Oh my God, Alec, you missed a
golden opportunity throughout this series to make an Earth,
(12:34):
Wind and Fire joke. I asked a question about earth,
wind and fire on the fire. OK, I take that back.
Cut that. Wait, can I tell a crazy story
about earth, wind and fire real quick?
Actually, it might have been theEarth episode.
No. Or the wind.
Let I didn't let Cooper tell hisjoke.
So how about at the end, if we have time, Cooper can tell a
joke and Cooper can tell a crazystory about fire.
OK for time. That's the talk back.
(12:57):
Segment Anyways, what causes wind?
Oh damn it. Cooper.
Cooper. So differences in temperature
across land cause differences inpressure, which causes wind.
Don't let him do that. Don't let him.
Get away. I'd like to.
Are you talking about like jet streams?
(13:17):
Because jet streams are partially caused by the
Coriolis. Just damn it.
Just the wind. Just the wind.
I'll give it to you, Cooper. It's it's air moving from low or
sorry, high pressure areas to low pressure areas.
That's all it is. And so it's not Jesus.
And but Jesus is the one who does that part.
Jesus sets the pressure differentials to let wind flow.
(13:41):
Yeah, he's, he's, you know, whenever you, whenever you see
the, the L like squiggly line onthe weather map, that's Jesus
pushing that through. That's him.
Bit finished anyways, quest 1 gust to Cooper for knowing about
wind, which you know what you guys are.
(14:02):
You guys are pretty good at thisat this air trivia so far.
Question 5 I'm I'm starting to think you guys might be air
benders questions is not about Avatar Last Airbender because
there's a whole episode about that that you can go listen to
too. Way back in episode 14.
I had no idea. Really.
That that. Yeah, it was that long.
(14:23):
Wow. But.
Image. Was on sad.
Image. It doesn't.
I'm sorry, let me take that back.
I got rationally mad at Bitch. I don't remember a single thing
about that episode. Oh, I didn't forget how I got.
Fucking robbed. I got robbed in the Avatar
episode and I got robbed in the fucking core episode and then
tried to do it again in the fucking D&D.
(14:43):
Nitpicks you about the. Moles, literally just I'm still
upset about. It got yeah, so we can put that
behind us, but. I can't.
It's OK, nobody can the. Rest of us will.
Question 5 is actually about thefirst real airbenders, AKA the
first humans to harness wind energy.
(15:06):
Multiple choice. Which of these happened first?
A Ancient Egyptians used sails to move their boats down the
Nile B Ancient Chinese used windpowered water pumps C Ancient
Persians used wind power to grind grain or D Ancient
Tibetans used wind to drive their prayer wheels.
(15:28):
Cameron. China B.
I'm sorry, that's not the oldest.
Aiden I think it's Tibetans. I'm sorry, that's not the oldest
either, but they did do that. What are prayer wheels?
They're like cylinder things with inscriptions on them that
yeah, outside like temples and the air like spins them.
(15:48):
Yeah, yeah. Literally the thing in Core that
she tries to walk through is based off of that off the
Tibetan prayer wheels a little bit.
So that leaves. That's the Egyptians, and
there's the other one. Persian Egyptians and the
Persians. Egyptians using sails or
Persians using wind power to grind grain.
I don't think they needed wind power to go down the Nile, so
(16:10):
I'll do the Persians. That one is not the oldest.
It's the Egyptians. They use sail go down the Nile.
Are all of these true Alec? They are all true, it's just
that the Egyptians, there's evidence that they use sails to
go down the Nile as far back as 5000 BC and all these other
challenges. Yeah, I was about to say I think
(16:30):
I. Want to just?
Suck you dry. I the the the history in China
is way older than all of those other civilizations.
You know what I'm going to, I'm going to withhold and I'll let
Cameron do it just so we can have the cool dramatic effect if
you want to do. It all right Cameron, get out
(16:52):
your. Back my breath.
He's got it. Suck me, do it.
You're wrong. Sorry, Karen.
Climate change has caused three of your gusts to disappear.
I've I've somehow. If Jesus does, when does Jesus
(17:16):
do climate change? I mean, no, that's all us.
We. Leave that to the theologians
like John Priestley to determine.
Well, I thought he was Joseph Logiston.
It's actually the logiston that causes.
Climate change don't be legit. Well Cameron, I'm sorry but you
did not totally asphyxiate your opponents, instead you just anti
(17:39):
gusted yourself. And that brings us to the end of
round one. Can we get a gust check?
We. Got 2.
A vacuum has been applied to me.I'm at -2.
Gusts negative. My goodness.
I'm in space. I'm at 1 gust.
Wow, OK, so it's still anyone's game, let's be honest.
But for now, for now, Oh my goodness, there's so many gusts
(18:01):
of wind, I don't think we can handle it.
Whoa, whoa, looks like we got blown all the way to the
audience question. Last week we asked how long does
it take for a bald eagle to become fully bald?
(18:22):
The answer was 5.5 years looks like.
Joey. Concannon was the first to write
in with the closest answer, so that's one gusty point to you.
Wahoo. You know, Cameron, these windy
conditions have got me thinking about one of my favorite things
(18:43):
to do in the wind. What contraption used in wind is
named for a type of bird? Again, one windhorn is a
contraption is named for a type of bird.
Write your answer, the comments on Spotify, YouTube or the
latest Instagram post for a chance at earning A gusty point
(19:03):
of your very own, as well as a shout out on next week's
episode. And while you're at it, give us
a like, subscribe or a follow onyour podcast player so you don't
miss an episode. We make a new one every week
just for you. Say it together, buddy.
And now, back to the show. We're and here we are back and
(19:33):
it's time for round two. Round 2 is titled Up Where the
Air is Clear. Wow.
Strong is all about humans trying to get up in the air.
Who wrote that book? Something Travers Humans have
long dreamed of soaring in the air.
(19:54):
This dream became a reality withthe first viable flying
machines, hot air balloons. The first manned untethered
balloon ride took place in 1783 in Paris.
Who did King Louis the 16th insist should man the first
untethered flight? It's multiple choice.
Just off the Dome. A himself B2 condemned criminals
(20:20):
C his two adolescent sons, or D Benjamin Franklin.
Give me. Benjamin Franklin.
I'm sorry, it wasn't Benjamin Franklin, but he was there.
He watched the first. That's.
Osplay, was that a? Word.
I learned about this, and I had a class in which I learned about
the history of aviation. I remember we learned about.
(20:41):
This all right, Eric Cooper. I want to say himself.
No, he did not volunteer himself.
I'm sorry. That is very on brand for Louie.
It's down to UK. Classic Louie.
It was the criminals. That's correct.
He wanted to send two condemned criminals, but the but the a
military guy like petitioned to be the first one to go up
(21:03):
because he thought someone of higher nobility should get the
honor of being the first one to fly.
That was Joseph Priest. I just remember so it was.
Joseph. Priest The.
Whole thing was I'm back to zerowins.
Vacuum has been turned off. The whole thing is that there
were like brothers that made this air, this this balloon.
But then like the first ever. The first airplane it was 2.
(21:26):
Brothers. No, I'm talking about a balloon.
The hot air balloon. It actually wasn't a hot air
balloon, right? It was like hydrogen or
something like that. Because the first death was one
of their wives. Like it caught on fire, am I
right? They did do hydrogen balloons
but I'm pretty sure hot air balloons were first or they're
(21:47):
doing out the same can. Still catch on fire.
That's the hot part of it. You're doing the hot.
Yeah, actually you are literallyusing an open flame.
Yeah, one rope gets into that sucker.
The Chinese did do that first with their lanterns, but as far
as we know they didn't person there.
But you mean a lot of this is just like we don't know.
(22:07):
There was a theory that the Nazca lines that you can only
see from up in the sky were donewith the aid of people that were
up in hot air balloons. Because there was a guy who was
like a really famous ballooner who like broke all kinds of
records. He built a hot air balloon using
only the methods that they wouldhave had at the time in Peru,
(22:29):
and he was able to go fly up in the air in it.
It's not the craziest thing. It's interesting.
He's basically like, yeah, if you have fire and a loom, you
can fly. So any civilization could have
done that and we just don't know.
About the Nosca Valley, Dang it.Correct me if I'm wrong, right?
Nazca is a valley. Peru.
I don't know actually. The Nazca lines are in the A
(22:50):
valley. It is also possible that they
use gliders. Maybe they use gliders, but
apparently that's way harder as we will learn.
Very interesting question 7. The next lighter than air means
of transportation to be developed was the airship, also
known as a Dirichable. Perhaps the best known are the
Zeppelins of the early 20th century, which culminated in the
(23:12):
infamous Hindenburg disaster. This is multiple choice.
After an investigation, what wasdetermined to be the cause of
the fire that resulted in the Hindenburg disaster?
Cooper has sniped, as Mitch would say.
I believe, and this is what I heard, that there was a backfire
on one of the engines which lit the outside of the balloon and
(23:35):
then let the hydrogen. All right.
That is. That is not the right answer
according to what I saw. OK.
OK, OK, that's fine. But here are the choices for
Aiden and Cameron. A sabotage AKA saboteur planted
a flame BA cigarette from one ofthe passengers.
(23:57):
CA fuel leak and spark from one of the propeller engines.
So that's kind of similar to what Cooper said.
So I'll just tell you that's wrong.
Or D static electricity which ignited leaking hydrogen.
Cameron. It's between the cigarette and
the electricity. You can't say D because you
buzzed in before that one was red so.
(24:19):
Watch. I'm.
Not allowed. For some reason I wanted static
electricity. You don't give it to him.
Don't give it to him. I was waiting for that.
That's. Correct, but you're on thin ice,
damn it. I I think I always heard that
like it wasn't completely known.Yeah, I think it was.
(24:40):
There was a lot of you know, to do about people thought it was
sabotage because is right around, you know, Nazi times and
stuff. I do love like media where there
where it's like futuristic and they thought zeppelins were
gonna be the big thing and like cities had Zeppelin ports.
Oh yeah, That's like the classic.
The trivia is the top of the Empire State Building was
(25:02):
originally meant to be a spot where zeppelins could anchor.
And you could. I mean, it's also not totally
unreasonable that if we had not had the Hindenburg or there was
a safer way to. Do it.
It's really slow. You can't transport a lot of
people. I think it just wouldn't have
worked. And it's just pretty dangerous.
Apparently the Hindenburg, they were supposed to use helium, but
(25:23):
the US had a like an embargo on Germany and would not ship them
on helium. So that's why they used hydrogen
and that's that's very cool. And.
That's all air, technically. It's all air air, just like this
episode. Wow.
All right, that's two more guststo Cameron, but he's but he's
something nice. So, you know, yeah, I don't know
(25:44):
how we do the accounting on that, but Question 8.
Airplanes have become the main mode of air travel, yet they
themselves are heavier than air count.
Others tried making gliders and flying machines before the
Wright brothers first sustained flight in 19 O3 place these
flying contraption designs, somewhich are alleged in
(26:06):
chronological order. That's awesome actually.
Mr. History of Aviation. Guys might want to write down I
feel. I'm feeling good about this, but
my history of aviation hasn't helped me in the last two
questions. A ton.
If you're just looking like history of flight, there's like
a million. So I just picked out ones I
thought were free. Here they are.
Is everyone ready? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
(26:27):
OK. A Robert Hooks spring Powered
Ornithopter, B Elmer of Mames Berry's Wings, C the Ottoman
rocket, D Sir George Kaylee's aerial steam carriage and E
Leonardo da Vinci's aerial Screw.
(26:47):
Nice. So put those in order
chronologically from oldest to most recent.
Cameron, why don't you reveal your order?
I'm going Ottoman Rocket da Vinci's screw, that British
guy's wings, the steam carriage,and then the ornithopter.
(27:10):
Steam. I feel like I'm so far off now.
I feel like these could almost go in any order.
Yeah, it's I. Literally just, I just was like.
This. Makes the most sense.
OK. Cooper, what was your order?
OK, my order was Leonardo da Vinci, then the Ottoman rocket,
then Kaylee's steam carriage, then hooks ornithopter than the
(27:33):
wings. Cooper, you were actually
weren't off my first guess. That was kind of where I was
started. At Yeah and Aiden.
I started with the wings becausethat feel like people saw birds
and did that first. Then I went Davinci's screw cuz
I know it's pretty early. Then ornithopter cuz I think
spring power came before steam power.
(27:54):
Then the aerial steam carriage which rocks, and then the
Ottoman rocket because I know the Ottomans were still around
like World War One time, so maybe that one's later.
OK, I. I based it off of the people and
that's their names. I don't know.
So Cooper got one right. Nice.
Like in the right spot, Aidan got two in the right spot.
(28:15):
Let's go, baby. Cameron got none in the right
spot. So I so I.
Get one right spot or like. That's what I, that's what I'm,
that's what I'm trying to to. Turn them in the Chronicle.
Who got them? Most chronologically, I mean,
you all mixed some up. So here I'm going to let me just
say them and then we'll work it out.
OK. The first one was Elmer of
(28:35):
Amesbury's wings. That was just a monk who
strapped some feathers to himself and jumped off a tower
and they left. That's awesome.
That's so good. And so exactly what I thought.
So many people jumped off towerswith bird feathers on their arms
trying to, Yeah. That's so awesome.
The next. I assume a lot of people died
doing that too. Right.
(28:55):
Oh, he broke both of his legs doing that.
Yeah. Leonardo da Vinci's aerial screw
was the next one. That's 15th century is when he
drew it, though it wasn't discovered until the 18th
century. The third one is the Ottoman
rocket. This was just a story that was
told that we don't know if it happened, but in 16, 33 there is
(29:17):
an account of a guy who lit 150 lbs of gunpowder underneath a
cone like thing that he got. Yeah.
This is on Mythbusters. It was it was on Mythbusters,
yes. And she told the Sultan that
he's like, I'm going to meet Jesus.
And then they launched him into the Bay like the like the the
sea. He got out, swam back to shore
(29:37):
and he was like Jesus is not ready to meet me yet or
something like that. He had like some joke about.
How he did, that's crazy. But that was all that's that's
pretty alleged. They're like people like people
like the myth Busters basically busted that.
There's like there's no way he could have survived a rocket
launch with they had no steel oranything like that.
Like he would have just been like, I don't know what he would
(29:58):
have been in, but like, well, nothing well could have been
welded together anyway. The 4th 1 is Robert Hooks spring
powered ornithopter, which was just a design that never
actually got built. But Robert Hook is a hooks law
guy. Yeah, like material science
stuff. Wow.
And that was also 17th century. And then the last one is Sir
(30:21):
George Kaylee's. Aerial, so I only had one.
Kaylee was like the father of a lot of this.
One is Sir Mix a lot. I only had I had Ottoman rocket
last instead of where it should be, but everything else was
correct. Yeah, so Aiden only got 2 mixed
up and he got 2 exactly right. So I feel like that one goes to
Aiden. I'm really a fan of that mug who
jumped off a tower with his wings it.
(30:43):
Is awesome. And the aerial steam carriage.
I mean the guy broke both his legs.
I remember Kaylee is like one ofthe foundational people of like
aviation. OK, those gusts go to Aiden and
we are now on to question 9. Within a few more decades,
Amelia Earhart was making history in aviation.
(31:06):
She's on my shirt right now, actually.
Which of the following firsts did Earhart achieve?
Hey. I know this.
OK. I'm not buzzing in yet.
First one to be eaten by crabs. No.
Sorry. Probably captured by the
Japanese. No to that as well.
She probably just sunk in the ocean because that's the biggest
(31:29):
thing out there. A First woman to fly non-stop in
solo across the Atlantic B. First person to cross the
Atlantic twice by air C First woman to fly solo and non-stop
across the US or D First person to fly non-stop in solo from
Hawaii to the US mainland. Is this what is true?
(31:52):
Yeah. Which one of these was did she
do Cooper? DI know she did that one first.
She did not do it. She was not the first one to do
non-stop in solo from Hawaii to the US mainland.
She had a partner on that. She had a partner.
She did that trip. But she was the first one to do
that trip. Which was I said non-stop and
solo. I don't know what to tell me it
(32:13):
doesn't. Really, she was not solo.
Thearden. Dangers I think.
Was she the first one to do there and back?
She was not the first one. She'd go there and back.
She child. Charles Lindbergh was.
Yeah, I was thinking Charles Lindbergh might have chickened
out on the way back. Well, the way back.
There to Saint Louis, my air across the Atlantic, twice by
(32:35):
air. Can you read off the other two
options again for me? We're all.
For don't well, the two of them are have been deemed incorrect,
so I'll read you the other two. First woman to fly non-stop in
solo across the Atlantic, or first woman to fly solo and
non-stop across the US? God, both feel right.
Maybe it's both. It's not both.
(32:58):
I feel like it'd be Atlantic. She had a partner.
No, she had a partner when she tried to.
Fly around the world, right? Yeah, I my first gut reaction
was a I'm going a. Is correct.
She's first time to play nonstopand solo across the Atlantic.
See, that's the one I thought that we all learned that I was
like, am I second guessing myself?
Alec Vacuum, vacuum. Why not you?
(33:20):
Guys, this feels like a good one.
I. Appreciate the attempts, yeah.
But it's not great, Cooper. Right.
No, no, I'm not challenging. All right, Cameron, would you
mind doing a sucking effect for us?
Cameron suck suck for us. You sucked the truth out of me,
Aiden. This is the challenge Question.
(33:42):
What? Asphyxiated.
They are all correct. She did all of those That's.
What I was thinking she. Was first solo from.
So are you giving me the points for the question?
Believe I've been do. You get all of it I.
Can't believe it was my points then.
Andrew. Got here when I was at my low.
Cameron, you didn't get the right answer.
(34:02):
You do not get those 3 guts. Well, tell me you did.
Get a right answer. Well, no.
Do I get my 2 points? Well, traditionally you don't
get the points if somebody. Challenges mid round.
What are you talking about? Take him off, Cameron.
That's Aidan gets two guys that feels so good.
Three guys and Cooper and Cameron have been totally
(34:23):
asphyxiated. They cannot answer the next two
questions. It took till the last element
episode for a. Oh my gosh.
I can't. You got me when I was at mine
and it's. Because you 2 doubted a woman.
You doubted a woman doubted a woman.
Let that be your downfall. You.
Gaslighted me. Thank you, I was so sure on the
(34:44):
other one. Super ghastly.
But I got, I got so. Like.
You got being down on the other ones.
Where you were like that's not right, even though I remember
learning about the Hindenburg with the other theory and you're
like no, incorrect. Cooper had three questions this
time. But he's like, I learned about
this, I was just dead wrong. I did want to touch on the thing
(35:09):
where she flew across the Atlantic twice.
She didn't fly there and back. She flew across it twice, 2
separate OK. Cool, cool, cool, cool.
Cool, and the first time she wasactually just a passenger, but
she still was the first person to cross.
The Atlantic twice to cross the air.
Wow, that's really interesting. The first person to cross the
Atlantic twice by air. Yeah, but she was also the first
(35:31):
woman to. Cross Yeah.
So her second trip was she was the first woman to cross solo.
OK, so she. Was a passenger when the 1st and
then she said to do it. When she was the passenger, she
was the first woman to cross theAtlantic nonstop.
I plan. She wasn't.
Yes, but that's Pilot. But yeah, she was also just.
Yeah, anyways. Can't believe it.
That feels great. Can't believe I feel.
(35:52):
So good you guys got to. Hold, you brag.
Here we go. Question 10 Nowadays, almost
anyone can fly thanks to the prevalence of commercial
airlines. As you may have guessed, there
used to be way more regional airlines that have since been
consolidated into larger corporations.
(36:12):
OK, this one's going to be interesting because it was like,
designed to be like closest friends, but now it's just so
that's really funny. I feel like out of fairness.
Oh, and the next one's Charlie Chaplin rules.
So this is. A.
This is a crazy time to we couldyou could just push the
asphyxiation later on if. Well, you should just like make
(36:33):
it. He's got to get OK.
I'll do that Alec. I'll just give you the flat out
the answers. Tight, tighter bound.
OK, you want to just get it exactly right.
You're. Closest.
Close enough. Here you go.
All right, so this ones about commercial airlines, I will give
you some old regional airlines and you can tell me if they were
consolidated into United, Delta or American Airlines.
(36:55):
Okay, all right, here they are. You're not gonna get this right.
Well, give me like a, give me a threshold to beat.
Like how many are there? The six.
So it just goes. Maybe they're 4 for six or
something like that. Gotta get all 5 if.
You get if you get 4 out of 6, great.
We'll see if you could do that here.
They are Varney Airlines. Don't get all ready.
(37:21):
Western air Express. Colonial air transport.
Beautiful. Northwest Airlines.
Literally none of these airlines.
National air Transport. Oh, okay.
(37:43):
And finally, Transworld Airlinesand my options are what?
United Delta or American OK National?
Air American Northwest and Western Express I think are both
Delta. I'll just say that.
Actually, no. I'm just going to say it.
(38:04):
Yeah, am I already wrong? I can neither confirm nor deny
your scores thus. They're both.
Delta Colonial is united, Varneyis united, and then trans wine
is American, and I think that was all of them.
OK, you did get exactly 4 right.Let's go.
So I think we're going to give them the two gusts.
(38:24):
That's insane. That's what that's the rules we
said. So wow, you got the 2D ones
right. National air is united,
Transworld is American. Colonial is American and Varney
is United is united. So you mixed up a couple of
those. Nice.
Good stuff. All right, that's the end of
round too. So what's our guts check?
(38:45):
The asphyxiated may briefly on asphyxiate.
To 11. Do you have 11?
Oh my God. He's gone crazy in the last two
questions. Well, I had four and then you
stole my points from me, so now I have two.
I have one. There are 15 gusts up for grabs
in Round 3, so let's see who gets them.
Just for Aiden. This one, Aiden, I'm going to be
(39:07):
pretty strict on question 11:00 you got to you got to get this
one like pretty. Much Can you give me two tries
to do it? No.
OK, you can think about what youwant to say.
OK. I historically, I don't really
do that very often, but we'll try.
Here we go question 11 Oh sorry,round 3 is titled Oh yes, please
tell me how I'm supposed to breathe with no air.
(39:29):
Colon air as a commodity. Oh, so this is all about.
Commercial. Stuff that has air to do with
it. All right, Question 11 Airbnb is
a room and home rental broker which has upended the travel
industry. But why is it called Airbnb?
(39:49):
And I'm and I will specifically say I know B&B stands for bed
and breakfast. OK, I was.
Going to say that's the only part I got locked in.
Why bed and Breakfast? OK, so I'm, I'm between two
things. I'm just gonna, I'm gonna say
them both out loud and then I'm gonna pick.
So one like air, as in like overthe airwaves, Internet, you can
(40:11):
do it like from anywhere, right?That kind of thing.
But the other thing is like giveyou some space to breathe, like
you're not cramped in a hotel room.
And I'm leaning towards that onemore, so I'm going to go with
that. OK, more air.
More air. OK, I like that, but I'm sorry,
it's not. Damn.
It's OK. So Aiden's not going to get that
one. The real answer is that the
(40:34):
founders originally rented out their San Francisco apartment
living room to people coming to into town for a conference, and
all they offered them was air mattresses.
That's cool. It was literally air B air bed
and. Breakfast air.
Bed Air. Bed and breakfast.
I like air breakfast. Yeah cuz I forgot the air BB
used to be like a rent out one of your rooms type of thing
(40:55):
before. Yeah, it started out as just
rooms. Yeah, not.
Aiden missed that. I have a chance at the wind now.
Let's go, go right, you guys. Sweet, you guys have been
brought back from near death. We.
Got some new air in your lunch and you're ready to answer
question 12 just about Airpods. Nice question 12.
(41:18):
Apple Airpods, the successor to the wired Earpods, released
alongside the courageously headphone jackless iPhone seven.
Wow. And have since become very
popular. OK, this is the one that I could
not figure out how to word, but here it is.
Which of the following tech companies did generate more
(41:39):
revenue than Airpods alone in 2020?
Three. OK, it makes sense.
So Airpods outsold most of these, but which one did
generate more revenue than Airpods?
Just the product, Airpods, outsourcing companies, yeah.
In 2023 OK 2023, which was the most recent data I could find?
A Airbnb. B Spotify, C Nintendo or D Adobe
(42:07):
Cameron. Spotify.
I'm sorry Airpods outsold Spotify.
That's more. People are getting headphones
than listen. To it's through Spotify Air
Cooper. This is tough.
This is tough. I was going to say Nintendo.
I'm sorry, Airpods also outsold Nintendo 2023.
(42:32):
It's. Airbnb or the one that I was
going to say Adobe. Oh that's see, that's tough
because Adobe everybody pirates that shit, but also their stuff
super expensive. I don't think Airbnb makes like
too too much crazy money becausemost of the profit goes into the
homeowner. So I'll say Adobe.
That is correct. Adobe outsold Airpods.
(42:54):
Adobe made 19 billion. Airpods made 18 billion wow,
Nintendo 12, Spotify 14, Airbnb ten wow in 2019, which this is a
different year, but because thisis just when I found the fact.
But people spent more than $700 million just in replacing lost
Airpods. That's great.
(43:14):
So it seems like a good that seems like a.
Great business model, makes themtinier and harder to find.
Yeah. Also people be swallowing their
Airpods a lot. Really.
That's one of my. Greatest fears when?
I fall asleep with them in. Is that that?
Can't happen. There's so many new stories
where people swallowing their Airpods when they fall asleep.
(43:34):
Thank you for. Exactly that cannot.
Thing where you put the headphones in your nose and open
your. Mouth not a speaker that no, I
refuse to accept that to be affected.
You, don't you? Don't have to swallow your.
I'm not telling you you have to swallow your Earpods.
Camera just don't just tell you that people have been doing.
(43:55):
I refuse to accept that. Do you?
Pregnant women actually swallow well.
Probably their babies can listento music.
Yeah. There's just no way that's true.
When I eat the placenta and I bite into the Airpod.
There's just no way it's true that someone has bad people.
So you can believe whatever you want to believe.
(44:16):
It's a free. I think it's a weird but.
True know it all Airpods. Do you want to vacuum this guy
Fun. Fact I'm already.
Challenging this question. All we have now is to use our
knowledge to get the most gusts.So let's move on to question 13.
If there's one thing I love about air, it's that we learned
how to condition it. The invention of air
(44:37):
conditioning by Willis H Carrierin 19 O 2 has become a staple in
US households. But at what cost?
Correct. No, it's more.
It's a little more than that. A million.
Which of the following air conditioner facts is sadly true?
A Air conditioners are less efficient than electric heaters
(45:00):
D Air conditioning is linked to an increase in asthma.
C Americans use more electricityfor air conditioning than the
entire continent of Africa uses in general or D We have yet to
develop a refrigerant material that does not 'cause damage to
the ozone layer. Cameron.
C. That is sadly true Cameron.
(45:22):
You get 3 gusts. We're using more electricity on
air conditioning than all of Africa.
This is what is false, right? No, this is which is sadly true.
Sadly true. Oh, OK.
So, sadly, Cameron got. True, but you're sad about it.
So, sadly, Cameron got points, yeah.
Oh, so he got points. Oh OK, sorry I was really.
You got 3, Cameron got 3 gusts. I'm sad about it, I was going to
(45:44):
say, because I I knew for certain some of those were false
because that's my job. OK, yeah, they're actually
really efficient in general, butwe just use a lot of them.
And then the new A2L refrigerants that they have that
just came out are not going to damage the ozone layer.
They're less global warming potential or they have less
(46:05):
global warming potential, but they're flammable now.
So all the new refrigerant goingin, it's like very, it's very
mildly flammable, but it's stillflammable.
So you have to do a lot of protection stuff.
Day didn't know that there's your And it's also actually not
linked to an increase in asthma.It's linked to a decrease in
asthma. So that is a good thing because
you're like filtering the air more. 3 guts to Cameron and
(46:25):
we're on to question 14 Question14 Air Jordans.
The basketball shoes were developed by Nike as a part of a
brand deal with NBA star MichaelJordan.
Since 198439 different models have been developed, I'm going
to send you some photos of the 1st 5 Air Jordans which are
(46:46):
amongst the most coveted by sneaker heads.
Place these sneakers in order from Air Jordan Ones to Air
Jordan 5. Oh my gosh.
A nice a nice visual thing for our audio media, but you can
watch on Spotify or YouTube if you want to see.
Here are your Air Jordan options.
You can tell me in order or whatorder you would put them in.
(47:08):
The following images are displayed a a black basketball
shoe BA, white basketball shoe CA, red, white and black
basketball shoe DA. Black and gold basketball shoe
and EA black, green and red basketball shoe.
Hope this helps. This is a vibe answer.
(47:30):
It's a vibe based answer for sure.
I will tell you Rachel got this exactly right when I showed.
It to her, that's crazy. It has like fashion sense,
fashion sense. Yeah, none of you guys have
that. I'm ready.
Sorry you guys already busted. Cameron Cameron, what was your
order? CBEAD.
(47:51):
OK, Cooper. Yeah, CA BED.
Or truly illusible audio experience.
OK. And Aiden C.
EDAB. My gosh, you all only mixed up
two. Dang.
I know C is right. Yeah, C has to be the first.
I know C is the first. You all got C, right?
(48:13):
Nice. Are you gonna do a differential?
The answer is CEBAD. Wow.
BAD. Nice.
Oh, the D is the newest one. Those are the Yeah, this is the
ugliest look. Yeah, Cooper, you have the
highest differential. Yeah, that one's going to go to,
I guess, both Aiden and Cameron.All right. 3 gusts each on that
(48:37):
one. I'm losing it.
Don't worry though, because question 15 is a speed round and
there are seven gusts up for grabs in question.
If only I'd gotten any other questions right.
That's awesome. Here we are.
Wait, let's do a little What's agust check before we do the
(48:57):
last? 17 gusts.
My gosh, my God. I've got 8 gusts.
I have one. Still.
So Alex, if you wanna put this in range of Aiden not winning,
you can take away those three points you just gave them and
give them to me. And then there's.
No basis for that. There's no basis for that, yes.
There's one worth all the marbles.
(49:20):
Then I have a shot. Yeah, how about you just make
the last one worth 20 points? I'm just going to be honest, I
think Aiden should win this episode because he got vacuum.
I got the Super son. Anyways, we'll get question 15
and and and you guys can still be happy about it if you get
some points from it. So let's see question 15.
(49:42):
I'm going to cram the last few air items into a speed round.
For each item I describe, the first one to buzz in with the
correct air item gets one gust. There are 7 gusts on the table,
so each answer is air Something air, bud.
All right, the first one. Here we go.
A futuristic arcade game invented in the 1960s by
(50:06):
Brunswick Billiards. Wait, I'm so sorry, I did not
have the buzzer. Come on, come on, come on.
No, Cooper sounded. Like air hockey?
That is right. One gust for Cooper, the.
Shout Cooper. Next, the hand gesture I made
while reading the previous clue.Oh, it was paying attention.
(50:28):
Not me, not I, I was trying to buzz, trying to think of a head
gesture with air. Guitar.
No, I did not do it. The air guitar.
I can't think of my interest in the source of the air, honestly.
Play the tape back. Do it again and we can just see
who gets it quick for sure. The previous thing I read was a
(50:50):
futuristic arcade game invented the 1960 I.
Know it now? Airden.
Air quotes. Air quotes.
It's Air. It was Air Cooper who got in
first. No, he, no, I I already guess
clear. Oh.
Air. Quotes.
It's time. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
The third one, an art form whosenational championships take
(51:11):
place in San Francisco this year, aired in.
Is that air guitar? That is air guitar, the national
air guitar I heard about. That I'm.
So close. The next one, their mascot, is a
smiling balloon. Oh, shoot.
Airheads. It's airheads, guys, he's
(51:32):
running I. Can't believe it took me that
long. The next one, a popular
appliance invented in 2010, Air fryer.
It's an air fryer. Sorry, I had that one.
I was like, that's coming. Yeah.
That's good preload like in my mind.
OK, a toy I was too afraid to play with as a kid because of
how much it hurt air. Plugs like the helicopters.
(51:57):
No, not no. I know this one.
Come on. Cameron.
Airsoft. Dang it, it's airsoft.
Me too, dude, me too. Those hurts.
Those Airhawk. Helicopters hurt if you get run
into. Oh, I never played with those.
Aiden's like I, I, I know what my sister is.
Great with it and the last one, a 1997 sports movie classic
(52:18):
which inspired the whole franchise.
Forget it. Big money. 10 points.
Air Bud. Air will be bud.
Air will. What about air ball?
I couldn't. They do all of them.
You want me to just keep going? Keep going, keep going.
Yeah, Mr. I need to go to bed right now, OK?
I want to beat Aiden. So what's our final gust check?
1T gusts. That's crazy.
(52:40):
I'm. Gusting these gusts, I'm
gusting. Gusting gusts. 10 for game, yes.
Wow, crazy differential between Yeah, do do do score based on
differential. Arden is for sure the winner of
this episode. Congratulations, Arden, you can
fly into the sky much like ElmerManesbury wished he.
(53:03):
Could. Do I experienced learned
helplessness as I got things that I thought I would know
wrong? I have to say, Alex, I like I
like the incentive to challenge,but it really kind of sucked the
air out. It really is you guys.
You guys were so upset. But you know what?
No, it was more it had to be the.
(53:24):
Words. It was just you and Aiden having
a conversation. You know what?
You still could have come back and and you chose not to.
So don't they? Still flame Alex.
Dude Alex who won the water episode?
That's a good question. I'm trying to figure out who is
the elemental winner. That's good.
(53:45):
Who's the elemental winner? I don't think cuz.
I won Fire, Aiden won Air, Mitchwon Earth.
So. John 1 water.
John 1 Water. So now elementals.
Need to. Face Are we doing an?
Ether episode We could do an ether episode with the winners
of the previous Aiden. Me, Aiden, John and Mitch need
(54:08):
to go head to head to head to head.
To determine who write 15 questions about ether.
Or or it could be the periodic table episode where you just
have like really tough like chemical elements, the chemical
elements. John.
John would win that. Yeah.
OK, oxygen. Right, I'd like to shout out
Alec for a really great series of four elemental episodes,
(54:29):
then. We do get out to see who the
avatar is. I.
I want to shout out to our listeners that went to

Thanks for riding Bus 1. Actually, thanks for writing
this. Aerial character Steve Barrett.
Aerial character Steve Paris. Aerial character.
(55:50):
Cameron, did you want to tell a story about earth, wind and
fire? Oh yeah.
So yeah. So is this going to make it into
the episode? Because otherwise I don't want
to talk about it. It might keep her recording.
So this last the same time I'll tell my joke.
This last weekend I went to a fireworks and fountain light
show that was all set to Earth, Wind and Fire songs.
(56:10):
It was the whitest thing I've ever been a part of in my life.
It was at a Botanical Garden. That's that's.
Awesome, actually. But also the lights were
horribly timed and the fireworkswere like only 100 feet away, so
it was really, really loud and you couldn't see the fountains
because the smoke. Fire.
Not enough earth and wind, so Argon walks into a bar and the
(56:32):
bartender says.
