But for those tuning in for the first time, in each show we normally have three brand new quizzes for you to play along with. This week we've got four. I'm James Males. I've developed quQiz Shs TV and I' joined by Johnny Robins, who's developedames for TV. Hello! And as ever, we're joined by our friend, Joh John Cantrell Hello everyone. Each episode, we set each other a new quiz inspired by things that happened to us this week. At the end of the show, we'll each vote for our favorite and someone will win the episode. Or it'll be a draw. And this week, in honor of Ellen joining us, like I mentioned, we have a menagerie of animal inspired quizzes coming your way. Lovely work. I definitely didn't say that word correctly. Menagerie menagerie Menagerie Menagerie. Menagerie sure. Take a few passes and then edit out every single one that wasn't And that means next week we'll have an animal inspired. Here's what you missed as well. But Ellen, it's great to have you on the show. This week sees a very special collaboration between ourselves and just the Zoo of us. Ellen, what is Just the Zoo of us? Just the Zoo of U us is a podcast on the Maximum Fun Network where we review animals by rating them out of ten in different categories, like physical adaptations, behaviors that they do, and then obviously just how they look whether we think they are nice to look at, which is of course the most hotly contentious topic, usually the one that people have the biggest feelings about. I thought when you said hotly then you're going to say just, you know, the hot ones. You know, the hot animals. We did one recently on the Mandarin duck, which apparently for a while in like twenty eighteen, a particular Mandarin duck showed up in New York City's Central Park, which is not where Mandarin ducks normally are. And people were so surprised to see this very unusual looking duck that he earned the local nickname hot duck. Oh wow Is is the Mandarin Duck the hottest animal then? Which one have you rated the best to look at? The nicest to look at for me is the bearded vulture. That I think to me is probably one of the coolest animals in the world to look at. That's a good Google. If anyone's not seen that before, the bearded vulture because they do this thing where they they have white feathers naturally, like a mane of sort of white feathers but they actually Mud bathhe, they roll around and kind of like room themselves in this soil. It's like a clay soil that's really high in iron, and it actually dyes their feathers red. So they're like dying their hair basically and giving them this like bright red mane. I like punks. Yeah, It's extremely punk. and they eat bones. What's more punk than that? They're so cool We've had some run ins with animals before. Can you sort out one argument that we've had once and for all? I'll do my best. So we did a quiz where you need to spell animal names. Would you accept hippo as an answer instead of hippopotamus? Bearing in mind hippopotamus wasn't able to be given because not all the letters were there I would accept it. Great decision there we go. there's your answer. Thank you. End the pod. I feel like when someone says hippo, there's no question as to what you're talking about. Thank you. I think the meaning has been conveyed adequately. Oh no, I don't like this. I mean I thought Jam she was going reference the fact that I'm still unsure if birds or fish count as animals. Yeah I forgot about that. I wanted to make me look stupid, Johnny, not you. I say ye Johnny, do you want to explain to Ellen your theory? Well, I just always think birs or birds, fish are fish, animals are animals. Distinct categories, yeah. Yeah, correct That's fascinating. Animals are animals. I love your taxonomy. I was ascribing to it immediately. A lizard is an animal. So a reptile is an animal. Yeah, fish is a fish, bird is a bd Aaxonomically birds are reptiles. Birds are like a type of reptile basically. Like there's no way to classify a reptile without including birds in it. This is exactly why we've got you here, Ellen. And we do have four animal based quizzes. One of them will be well researched and from Ellen and three will be from us, a guy who thought penguins were cold blooded and someone who doesn't think birds are animals. Ellen Qiz often, how do you quiz? How does quiz fit into your life? I play a daily quiz game called maybe it's I guess it's a quiz game. It's called Metazooa. and it is it's kind of like taxonomy worle basically, where there's like an animal of the day and you put in your guess and it tells you how close taxonomically your guess is to the animal in question. and you have to use basically what you know about like the animal sort of phylogenny to like deduce the correct answer. Well, I'm definitely gonna check out Metaooa. They're not sponsoring the pod. They're not. That's free ad, sorry guys. They can have it. Okay. Well, we'll come to your quiz shortly, Ellen First up with their quiz this week, it's John. One of the many great reasons it's really fun to have guests on the show is that it often prompts us to come up with new ideas and cover new topics. Who would have thought that I've written a quiz about cats and dogs if Ellen wasn't on the show? Have I had a lovely time looking up the names of unusual breeds? Yes, I have. There's one thing that is synonymous with cats particularly And that I think lends itself really well to quizzing. This is nine liives, and here's what you do. One by one, I'm going to read out a list of thirty breeds of either cats or the cat's mortal enemy. Dogs. All you need to do is correctly identify which is a cat and which is a dog. You'll be working as a team but taking turns to answer. So Ellen, you'll go first Oh read out a breed. You just tell me if you think is a cat or a dog. Jim, you'll go next, then Johnny, then back to Ellen and so on. but there is no conferring allow ye becausecause otherwise Ellen would just answer them all. wed go, Ellen. Ell Exactly. I a friend Ellen. Oh, Ellen's got it. Ellen is doing it ye Yeah. Ellen's got it. I'm much better with dogs than I am with cats, so we'll see how this goes. Every time one of you gets one wrong, you collectively lose a life. You have nine lives, and if you make it to the end of my list of thirty, you all win. he. However, if you lose a tenth life, I'm afraid your prospects of winning the quiz will have gone to live on a farm. Do you know your spphyxes from your beagles? or your never masquerades from your Lgota Romagiolo? There's only one way to find out, let's play Nine liives. Ellen, do you know the difference between the Yeah, the Sphinx and the Beagle easy. They are the two you said had never heard of in my life. so I think I'm gonna be humbled really quick I am coming to you first. As I said, you just need to tell me, is this a cat or is this a dog? Rottweiler. Dog. Correct. it's a dog. You couldn't see Ellen's face then, but she was disgusted that you even ask that. I'm just easing you in. Okay, James, I'm coming to you next. Siamese. Cat. Correct, it is a cat Johnny the Labrador Rriever. Dog. You said that as if you weren't one hundred percent, you should be more confident, That's absolutely right. I do feel like I'm being lured into a false sense of security. This does feel like a trap, kind of Ellen, I'm coming back to you. Moody Dg. It is a dog. It's a herding dog from Hungary. Well done.

Is Spanish not like an everyday usage? like? Be I would say like if you asked anyone in the United States that question, we wouldn't recognize the word paromediate parro like as the Spanish word for dog. Oh no, I've never learnt Spanish. We learn French and German at school. So if you' to put the French for dog in there or the German, but I've never learnnt Spanish. It's one of those words you pick up on just from like everyday like usage here Give me a parro How many lives are we down? You've lost two lives Johnny, I'm coming to you. What is a kanani? A Kanani.

This is the turnaround. Johnny, the Russian blue. is a cat. That is a cat. greatreat work. Ellen, the Canny Corsso. That is a dog. That is a dog. You're on fire. This is remarkable work. Okay, maybe I should reveal as a kid I had these dog breed encyclopedias L You know those like big like picture encyclopedias, like the DK books, like I had this one that was about this thick. it was a dog breed encyclopedia and I read it so many times cover to cover that the spine wore out and it fell apart and I had to get rid of it because just literally the pages were falling out because the binding wore out on it. So dog breeds were like a huge like special interest of mine when I was a kid This might go very well for you then the remain of. I have not heard of some of these though. Some of these, I'm like, o, I can only apologize, Ellen. Johnny and I haven't even seen more than two breeds of dogs and cats in our lives. Well, James, I'm coming back to you. How dod we feel about the Chatre Can use in a sentence? The Chatre is a rare breed of well chat is cat in French. We've talked about languages. Dog is Chen. O that basis, Chateu cat something. So cat? Love it. The logic is there. It is a rare breed of Kat from France. well done. I think you said Kat. You definitely said Krat. I dis, whichich is better than dog, but it's not quite cat Yeah. Is your brain rejecting the concept of a cat Yeah, do you know what I'm allergic to them? It's had enough. It's fighting so hard. It's like we'll not let you say the word cat. It can't do it, right we go. The Chartre is a rare breed of cat from France, well done. Johnny I'll comeing to you next. The Turkish van. I mean, I visited the Turkish van a lot when I was at university after nights out used to sell kebabs in a car park I'm gonna say this is a dog. It's a cat. It's a standardised breed of domestic cat we've all seen a Turkish van pretty regularly in our lives. You're halfway through and you've lost half your lives, just over half your lives. I've lost the majority. I think Ellen is the only one coming out of this with any kind of dignity. Everything's coming up, Ellen today. This is going so good for me personally. You're flying ere we go. The next one is the Koikaahunja. Oh, U I'm gonna say that's a dog. It is a dog. it's a dog from Holland. A. Okay, James, I'm coming to you. The Shiba Ino. Well Shiba make cat food, don't they? So a cat. It's a dog. It's a Japanese hunting dog from Japan. Shiba Inu? I think you said Shiba Ino. I think it's Inu Yes. Well, I'd have got it if you'd have said it correctly, John. Well that's really sneaky. Yeah, there's a brand of cat food over here, Ellen, if they do it in America called Shiba and it is literally cat food. Oh yeah.pke differently though. The Inu part is Japanese for dog. I don't know what the Shiba part means. Shiba Inu the dog from that film Hatchi. So Hachi is an Akita, which is like ahiba, but much, much bigger. Right. But in the movie, when Hachi is a baby, a little puppy, they use a shiba instead of an Akita puppy because the Shiba puppies are cuter and the Akita puppies look kinda weird when they're puppies So like Achie is an Akita, but they use aiba when he's a puppy in the movie. Ellen, this is some of the greatest knowledge I've ever seen portrayed by anyone on anything. It's remarkable. Absolutely wild pull. I've seen literally like ten movies in my entire life, and Achi just happens to be one of them. that's the one All the movies have to have an animal in them at some point. Yeah, I'm the kind of person that's like in the movie when like while you're watching the movie, you're like, that was a red wing blackbird call. I'm like correcting things or I'm like, they wouldn't have that bird in where this is located. Are like Cheering on jaws when you. Listen, she was just trying to live her life. Leave that shark alone. She's hungry, okay? Okay, the next one is coming your way, Johnny. But Pouy. Poulet is chicken in French. It is, this is true. Pouley also has the first three letters as pooch. So I'm going doog. Oh nice. Remarkable logic. It is a Hungarian herding dog. Well done, Johnny. Have you seen these things? They're the ones that look like a mop. Oh, I do. I have seen them Pper white type curls everywhere. They look remarkable. It's so cute. I love them. You've got six lives down and you're about to answer the nineteenth out of thirty. It's touch and go, I would say at this point. Okay, Ellen, your next one is Leomberurger. That's a dog. It is a dog. This is remarkable. Wow I can see it in my minds side too. It's a big, big, fluffy shhepherd dog. They're really, really fluffy. That is the one. Okay, Jim. American curlow Curly fur?

Yes, absolutely right. That's a good one. try of the old triple bluff. I know for a second, I was like It's because he knows that me and James would have both said dog. Yeah. When you s we zag. Okay, James, the Korat. it sounds like a bird, but that's not an option I know there are many dogs that end at. So I'm just gonna say cat. Love the logic. Absolutely right. It is a silver tipp blue grrey, shorthi domestic cat. Well done. Johnny. Basenji. Benji. Benji. I think it's a dog. It is a dog. It's known as the Barkless dog because it makes a variety of other sounds other than barks. Oh, So twenty four in Six wrong, eighteen right. We got this. Well, I'm coming to you next, Ellen, the Samaed. That is a dog. That is a dog. That is a big fluffy white dog. They have the cutest smile. They're so cute. I love them. That's it. Big fluffy dog with two layers of white fur. Jim, I'm coming to you. The Devon Rex. Well Rex. like Dinosaur, but the T Rex.esn't it mean What it means like awful lizard? No, King. Rex means king, doesn't it? So the Devon King. But Rex is also the name, a traditional name given to dogs and he's given it to me so that I go, Well, hang on, Rex is a dog's name so it's gonna be a cat. W. A I then gonna go actually, John? It's gonna be a dog because that's the obvious one And then I actually sayha, a quadruple bluffer. There are so many layers. We're so deep in this. I am gonna say Devin Rex is a cat. Devin Rex is a cat. you did not fall into my snaky trap. Well, d you. John, why did you not go for the Cornish Rex? That is a good question. If you're doing Devin or Cel, John You've got to go with the Cornish. And I don't know if you know about the Devon and Cornwall rivalry. It's in the south of England, the two kind of most southernly counties next to each other. Johnny is from Cornwall. They have a big rivalry with Devin. John just backed Devon over Cornwall. They spread their jam on a scon differently. Yes. Oh When you were applying jam Cream onto a scone, Ellen, or scone is maybe how you guys pronounce it. We do say scone. Yeah. We say scone too, Ellen. Also we call them biscuits. Yes, of course you do. So if you were applying jam and cream to your biscuit, what order do you put them on? I would do cream first and then jam. That is what I do. See ya later Johnny Jam cream all day. I use my cream like a butter. That's what I'm thinking. Ugh. I use my cream like it' a ball of vanilla ice cream. I pop it on the top of a Oh you go ala modode Right Johnny, I'm coming to you next. The singap Pura. He's pronounced that in a certain way for you there, Johnny. Yeah, Be it first That's what John is going. I'm going dog. You should have gone cat It is the world's smallest cat breed, I'm afraid. Is it? One more life down seven down. Three to go. Ellen, I'm coming to you. The Belgian Malinoir. That is a dog. This is insane. I did not expect this level of knowledge. Maybe this is a thing because Belgian Malinois are probably the most common police dog Here at least. And also, have any of you guys watched the fallout TV show? Yes.. That's Belgian Malinois. The dog from that plays dog meat is a Belgian Malinois in the series. Mopolice dogs, German shepherds? Yeah, here they're usually either German shhepherds or Belgian Malinois, but I've seen in airports, you know how they'll have like drug sniffing dogs in airports. They've started switching from German shepherds beagles instead because beagles look cuter and friendlier. So they're less intimidating too. Yeah, it's less scary and intimidating. It's to like reduce like anxiety and tension at the airport. There has been an actual shift in like security at the airport using floppy ered dogs instead of pointy ear dogs ' pointy ear dogs make people scared and anxious and they use floppy e dogs instead Cool, right? I love that. Well, there's two to go. Jim, I'm coming to you. The Balanese. Sounds like Siamese, but because it's towards the end maybe John wants to take our lives off us. So if this was early in the quiz, I'd be saying cat, but I'm actually gonna say dog. You should have gone cat J g You should have gone F Oh Yeah. it's a very well worlded domestic Siamese style cat. Very well known, James. Do you know it Johnny? Yeah Johnny was all over that. The real cat headads know this one. Yeah. This is the final one Johnny, It's coming your way. You can do this. You can get away with it, Johnny The Finnish spits. I'm confidently saying dog. As you should, it is a breed of dog originating in Finland. You have successfully navigated thirty cats and dogs. You only lost eight lives Absolutely wonderful work. We did so good. Wild done. Ellen, you were fine, but Johnny well done. I think you and I really carried the team through there. Jones. Cgrratulations. Couldn't have done it without the two of you. Did you have a breakdown of who lost all the lives? It a do What I'll say is that I think without Ellen's great work, you two would have really struggled. You lost four each in that round. Oh! But it was a team effort. It was a team effort. Absolutely. All that time reading the dog brereed Encyclopedia, this is what I was training for.. And that was nine lives Evening.

O well researched, thoughtful and you come away from it genuinely learning something, the other scrape from Wikipedia a few minutes before the record starts. That's being a bit unfair to just the zoo of us. Now of course I meant here's what you do for the second one But it is the combination of animal facts and pop culture that I've focused on. This is animash and here's what you do. There aren't enough animal species in the world. Not for Ellen at least. So we're gonna create some more. I'm gonna ask you two questions at a time. Both have an animal as an answer. One of the questions will include some genuine research and could include animal facts, tax anonomy I didn't know if I've said the word taxonomy right there, is that correct? I've heard it for the first time today pretty much. It might have even put some Latin in there, who knows? The other one will be more pop cultury. It's Pop Goes the Weasel, which could have been the title if all the questions were music based. When you've got your two answers, you need to smash them together form a brand new animal. So if the answer to the first question was lion and the second was hippopotamus, then a liippopotamus would be an acceptable answer. I think you mean a liippo Correct Ellen is on it. That is great work Wellel played That's enough liipo from you Ellen. than you. So we're doing an animal smash oran Annimash. So there's one point per correct animal with a bonus for a correct Annimash. Let's play. Annimash Question one and I can only apologize for my pronunciation of all the Latin and taxonomical phrases, Ellen, please do correct as we go. Honestly, we don't ever bother with learning how to pronounce things correctly. if just say it confidently and nobody will say anything about it. I promise. Yeah I can't even promise it's gonna be confident, Ellen. So first question here two questions for you. Which primate in the family ircopophecidae Seropopeidee, C ER C O P I T H ECI DA E includes species such as the haamadryas, Chakma and Kinda. So that is one animal. Use the first part of that and smash it with the second part of this next question, What breed of bird is tweety from Loononeyune John, do you prefer a cheakma or a Kinda? I'm a huge Kinda fan. yeah, big kinda fan. Oh yeah, fan of their eggs. Let's get those Animashes in. John, I'll come to you first. What is your first animash? The Aanuana aneri. The Aangutananeri. Good answer, John. What are we going for? Johnny, what's your Animash I've gone for the chimperery. Chimpery, okay. and Ellen, what is your Annimash? Mine is the Baberi, the baboon and canary? Yes, Ellen is correct. Well done. The Baberi or baboonery. A little hint to some baboonery that is the bab Right now. So yes, the baboon. did you get it straight away from my pronunciation, Ellen? I did actually, I've heard it I've heard it Sirco Pithcide, like the pithecus part of the name, like Pith, if you've heard of like Australopithecus, like gigantopithecus, that like pithecus part of the name, that's usually like part of it. So like Circo, I don't know what Circo means, but Sirco pitheccus That's the Baboon family. Impressive. Oh Tweety was more Johnny and John's level. You knew it was a canary? Yeah, that's our level, yes I think you all got it as a cananid didn't. you', well done one point to Johny John three to Ellen because she anim mashed it out the park. Okay, question two. heart of the superordder Xenarra, Clamiphorus Truncatus is a species of which animal that the Aztecs called turtle rabbit or a t tabit when they were playing Animash. So that is one animal and smash it together with this one. In the film Ice Age, what kind of animal is D His main action in the film is to guard some watermelons. Oh I watched this movie in theaters when it came out. Oh wow. showhowing your age, Ellen. Right, so I feel like it's been a minute You did claim that you'd only seen ten films, but the fact that this is one of them is good. so zeroed in on me. We don't know what Jhny's quiz is going to be. I can almost predict it's going to be animals in films. So I'm excited to see when we get there if we've all seen any of those or if these crop up again. I am always gonna save you toill last because I think you're gonna know the first one and I want to hear what Johnny and John say for the first one without anyone knowing what it is. So Johnny, what's your second animash? I've gone for a guinea roo. Oh, what were the two animals you had in mind for a guinea roo? A guinea pig and a shrew. Not a kangaroo and a guinea l that would also be a guinea roo, so I was just making sure. If either of those are correct, that's what I meant. And John, what's your annimash? I've focused on turtle rabbit and then I've just plonked on an animal that I hope is right in the second half that was probably around in the ice age. I'm going for the Armadilodo I've not said that right. Armadillodo. Armadodo. Okay. Ellen, what have you got? I went with Armadillaant. I met Eillaon Because I am confident about the armadillo part, but having no memory of this character from Ice Age, I think it might be Glyiptodont. Is it a Glyiptodont? Ellen, the correct answer is not Armadillodont. It's Armadodo Jo three points! the pop culture saved you there. I did, yeah. I had no recollection I saw Dio on the end and I thought, Oh, let's do two of them. If in doubt, what would sound funny when you put them together? An arm aodo. Yeah Yeah sounds silly. And that's why I included it. So yeah, Dab is kind of the leader of all the dods in Ice Age and they're really protecting watermelons and you know, they kind of lose it and they break them all and they all kind of run off a cliff a bit like At first I thought it was gonna be some kind of dinosaur and then I remembered that this is ice age and there are no dinosaurs age. Ellen, what was the animal that you thought it was? Glyipodon. It's a giant extinct I guess it was a type of armadillo or related to armadillos. And I'm pretty sure glypodons were in the movie Ice Age. I just think that wast I've never even heard of there's so many animals and so many things that I'm learning that I'm gonna be googling. This was like imagine like an armadillo or like a rollie pooely shaped creature that was the size of like a horse, basically. That a tabot was an armadillo. Was that pretty obvious straight away, Ellen? From the Xenarthra. when I heard Xenartha, I was like, I know this man I didn't even need to finish it. Maybe for the next question, I'll just say the first three words and. They're a very, very interesting, like a real odd ball in like mammal family tree. They're a very strange family. Do you guys have armadillos? We do not. They're great. badger in my garden the other just hanging out. A Beatrix Potter moment happening in on your property. And then so me and my wife, we turn the lights off, we watch them in the garden and then my cat who has one eye I was like, nah, I' not having this, went straight out of the cat flap and chased them both off and they legged it. Surely the badger and the fox would take a cat. Yeah.ah. I could see They took one look at Vigo. We' like, this guy's got one eye and he needs business. See you later. Okay, so well done that means Ellen and John are both on four points Johnny is only on one, but there's time. Question three, which animal belongs to the leepidctter and superfamily Paponardia, a monophileletic clade with twenty thousand plus species? I said at least four words incorrectly there, but we're moving on In the next question, whichich animal lends its name to a sports brand cret ball used as a standard in Australian cricket. U oh. That's it. Cricket isn't very American friendly either. so apologies, Ellen. Perhaps the area of the world may give you a clue there. But it's not a kangaroo, just to help you out. Let me just change my answer real quick. Me too You know what? I'm gonna to save John till last year because I think John will know the second part. Ellen will know the first part. so let's hear both incorrect from Johnny first. I might surprise you here. Go on Johnny. I'm going for the butterbat. Oh as in a wombat was that second one Johnny? That is a onebat, Yes. And Ellen, what's your annimash? I also put butterbat for the exact same reason. Oh R. Well, maybe you've both got a correct animash, John What have you put? The cuckoo Kuura As in a cuckoo and a cookab borow. That's exactly it, yeah. Well, I can tell you there isn't a correct animash out there, but if we animashed some of your answers together, it would be correct. The correct animash is a butterbr.. I'm happy to have got one Latin one. We know Ellen knows it, probably from when I said which. But which part of the question did you get it from Johnny. The Papillon, French, the butterfly what I thought that and ignored it because it didn't rhyme with Cookabborough properly. so far let's go for cooker. yes, it is the butterfly. And then John, you got Cookabborough correct for the sports brand. You knew that one, I presume? Oh, absolutely. I was That was straight down on the board, no problem. The rest of the time was just spent trying to come up with something that sounded silly when I said it out loud That means Ellen and John both get a point. Johny also gets a point. Everyone's still in it, two questions left. Question four. What type of animal is Seratoparium simimum, one of the largest remaining megafauna and a member of the odd toed ungulate order, Peris odactylia. haveave I pronounced any of that correctly, Ellen? Yeah, nailed it And then the next question, Riicky Ticky Tavy is a short story by Ridjard Kipling about the adventures of what kind of animal? Are you a Ricki tickky Tavy reader? Johnny? I know them all, but I don't think I know this one. Ellen's locked in. she's feeling good. I think I got it. Oh. pressure on John John, are you Rickkyiki taying? I think I know Rickky tiki Tavy. I have no clue about obviously the first part. I've got a bit stuck on meegafauna because that sounds really fun. It does sound like a mega pint. Exactly I'm sure Ellen's gonna explain to us what a megaphunner is shortly. I can if you want. Do you want me to? I can explain a lot of things you just said if you want.ust tell me how much information you want. Oh, no, don't say yeah. Don't give them clues, Ellen. I'd like the answer, Ellen, if you could hand them out. Okay, John, we're gonna come to you first this time. What is your Annie Man I've gone for a L on goose. Hey and Johnny. I've gone for con air. Ooh, a condor and a bear. stylised as a Nicholas Canaine film. Of course you've put a film in. We're like doing anything about films. and Johnny has snuck the name of a film in. G wor. Ellen, what is your Annie Mash? Rhinoose. A rhinoceros and a mongoose. I'd written rhinocerogoose. Oh, that's great. That's lovely. But both are valid answers. Ellard, yes. Absolutely smashing it out the park. So well done. Let's go. But animal at the top, the megafauna is a rhinoceros, spepecifically the white rhino I believe I described Ellen, is that right? I don't know my rhino species, but I'll explain how I arrived at my answer because there were a few like different things that I recognized, but I didn't know the scientific name. Yeah. So you mentioned pacidactyals, like the odd toed ungulates. Have you guys heard the word ungulate before? Nope. This means an animal with hooves, so like horses, deer, cattle, things like that. Anything that has hooves is an ungulate weirdly Whales and dolphins are in this family. Weird, right? But they're like related to them. They used to have hooves, which is crazy. Wow. So there's two groups of ungulates. There's even toed ungulates, which have their weight divided like evenly between an even number of toes. and those are most of them. So things like cattle, deer, sheep Goat, stuff like that are in the even toed ungulates and also whales and dolphins for some reason are over there. But then the odd toed unguulates have their weight centered on the middle finger instead of split between the fingers. So they have their weight resting on one middle finger. There's only, I wantna say three groups of odd toed ungulates that are still alive, horses in which they've put all of their weight on that middle finger to the point that the other fingers went away. Sorry, I just accidentally did a middle finger on camera Exactly podcast. They got rid of these other fingers. They didn't need them anymore. They're only resting on that one middle finger. In rhinos and in tapiers, which is the other group of odd toed unguleates, they still have the other fingers. So they're the odd toed unguulleates. So I knew that those are the three groups of odd toed unguleates, and then I heard in the genus name Serato theereum. The prefix Serrato means horn. So like treratops. Serrato is the horn. So I knew it's an od too ungulate with a horn. that gave me rhino. My goodness. me Allen. Brilliant. Wow . incredible work. That's some of the greatest quizzing I've ever, I think this podcast has ever seen. Yeah Got it I work backwards to it. I didn't know this one. Well the reason I chose this particular type because I wanted to put obviously rhinoso in there because it's a funny thing to say. It is a fun thing to say, it's very fun. All of the other names had either rhino or unicornis in their name And so if you say unicornis, you're kind of gonna work out what it is. and obviously if it says rhino in it, I can't ask that as a quiz question. This is the only breed of rhino I could find didnn't have either of that in. it had Serotoe in which again for the horn, but that's why it was specifically that one that I asked the question. Yeah, it's an obscure one. Yeah. I had to kind of break it apart a little bit and look for hidden clues. Breat detective work. And then Ricky Tiki Tavy, what detective work did you go through for that Johnny Well, I had the word condor because I thought I heard the word like dactyl and I thought that might mean like claws or something, but it didn't. Oh, it means fingers. It means like like fingers. So parisodactyl means like odd number of fingers. So like a pterodactyl has like wing fingers. Yeah ye. So I was thinking Dactyl was like an eagle, maybe an ostrich shoppet at first Big Mgafauna and land on Condor. also big. And then what goes well with Condor? A bear. Yeah, Condor. It makes sense. Cair. But John you knew about Ricki Tiky Tavy. Doug Kipling's house, old house when he used to be alive is really near our house. We've been there many times. and there there's drawings of Ricky Tiky Tavy and all the other characs from the junk Whoa, that's so c. I seenem live as it were. Wow. Yeah, technically, Riki Tiki Tavi is an Indian gy mongoose. So if you'd have wanted to say the kind of white rhino and Indian grey mongoose, any kind of animashe of those two together would have been correct. But the animash I went for was rhinosaoose. That is fun to say you're correct, That is very fun I've just written questions that are making me laugh and that's the best way. With that in mind, question five. What animal is Dorbentonia Madagascensis? They have continually growing incises and a thin middle finger which helps them with their per Psive foraging. They only percussive forage really. Don't try any of the other kind of foraging. No way. John, your favourite kind of foraging is it percussive? hundred percent. that's what I do. Most days, percussive foraging out a go. Full day of it, normally. And the second part of the question, what animal features in the name of a two thousand film starring Adam Garcia John Goodman and friend of the pod, Hyper Perabo. D don't know if you know the film, Ellen. We did mention this on our quiz Race to a hundred What was who is in the film? John Goodman, Piper Peribu, who I still don't know who they are, and Adam Garcia. There's an animal in the name of the film. Piper Peribu is gonna be so mad when they hear you say that you don't know who they are. I know. Especially because we've mentioned them as an answer before and talked about this film on the pod Johnny was there And it is all on the line in this final question. cururrently Ellen is on eight. John is on six and Johnny is here and taking part and that is what matters the most. No Johnny is on two. He does have two points. He's not on zero, but John can win this with an animash if Ellen doesn't know this film. I don't know this film. Okay, Johnny, what is your annimash Lemowskiowski The Big Lemowski. The Big Lemowski. Yeah. famamously not released in the year two thousand, but I'm hoping you got it wrong and I'm hoping a Lbowski is some sort of animal that I just haven't heard of And a Lema because of Madagascar and John, what is your Annim Mash? I didn't go for Lema because again it didn't really work with my second word, which is probably not the wisest idea, but I've gone for a Famin Qote. I really liked. And so what were the two animals there, Joh? A flamingo and a coyote and Ellen. I put eye fish, like an eyye and a fish. Fish seems like it's in a lot of movie titles. Yeah Yes. Well, I can tell you that no one correctly animashed But if you had' combined your answers again, it was out there. The IotTi is what I was looking for We are two halves. That's it Ellen exactly correct with the eyye and John, yes, Coyote is in the film Coyote Ugly. That's what hypero is from. So finest work. The ee is a type of lemur. so do you get a point for saying that it's a lemur? But hang on, is it for Johnny? Yeah. Yeahah, we've give him a point. That's fine. He's so far behind Ellen We could give him five and it would be okay. So yeah, Johnny, you get a point for La. Ellen's giving you that. Well done.. And what's cool is like if you look at night vision, like thermal camera imaging of an ey eye, you can see like in their middle finger, there's like no like blood flow to it. Whoa. It's really interesting. And so becausecussive foraging As far as I understand it, Ellen involves tapping on tree bark with that middle finger. they do it like eight times a second. Wha. Yeah. It's actually weirdly similar to woodpeckers. It's weird because they're like occupying the same sort of like ecosystem niche as woodpeckers because Madagascar doesn't have woodpeckers. they're like kind of doing the same thing, just they're mammals instead of birds. Neither of which of those are animals, are they Johny? . John talk to me about Piper Peribo? But do you wantanna know? I mean, I've got all the facts and the fingertips as you would expect. So you gave her as an answer on race to a hundred? I did. Yeah because she' got double P, hasn't she? Piper Peribo? I remember her being a Kitee Ugly and she was in thing called Butterfly, which I watched while I was travelling. Ellen's probably seen that because it's got the name of an animal in the title Okay, so at the end of that, the scores are in. Johnny because of Ellen's generosity, has three points. John has seven points, but our Annie Mash champion is Ellen. numbers. Absolute schooling.

So mineess may be a little more straight over the plate, but I figured this is a podcast and what better use of an audio medium than by taking some sound cues, exploring some sounds. This game is called Caller ID. and here's what you do. I will play Sound clip for you. You tell me what animal is making this sound. Oh, excellent. So I have compiled some rules. I feel like if you're quick and you've got it, you can answer first, go for it. But if not, then I'll call everyone. More than one person can give the same answer. You don't have to all give separate answers. So any player who gets it right on their first guess with no hint, it's three points. Wha. Any player who gets it right after I give you a hint It's two points. Yeah. And if nobody gets it right, even after the hint, whoever's guess was closest gets one point. Wha. how are we defining closest, Ellen, taxonomically or geographically? Right. So like if you guess something and it's like it's not the exact one, but like it's a mammal. If I give a different odd tootungulate, for example, which, you know, like a tapia. Yeah' a rhino And you know, that kind of thing or if it's like a dolphin because, you know, they used to have whoses dolphin, too, if you know this even, but they're kind of similar spe to the rhino. So something like that. yeah. Yeah, so I feel like if you get it close and nobody gets it right, you still get a point. I like it. So I'm gonna share my screen and I've made sure to scrub all of the labels So there's no hints in the trash. Okay, are you ready for the first one? You betch. Ready. M It sounded like Wiley Coyote capturing the roadrunner with an anvil. If you think you've got it, then say what you think it is. You go first, James. Well because of the repetitive nature at the top, I was gonna say maybe a woodpecker. Well I've gone a different direction. I was thinking more like a blue whale. sounded like sonar or something like that. So I went sort of like a blue whale or a dolphin or something like that. Now you can't just guess three different animals. You got guess I just went like a blue whale or a dolphin or something. gophin. Dphin'll be my guess. Okay fununnily enough I've got blue whale. It sounded like something under the sea. Oh there you go. Are any of us correct, Ellen? None of you are correct. I will give you a hint. My hint is. I am the eggman. They are the eggman, Goo googoo joobe. All right, I'm in we're all there. You can do it, G on, Jim. I wondered if you were singing, I am the Walrus. And so I'm gonna say a Walrus. Okay, what do you think, John? I also went Walrus. Oh, a few. And Johnny, I haveve also gone Walrus. That is correct. You all get a point. Yes. Tw points. Oh yeah, that's right. You're right, You all get two points. Yeah, so that is a bell sound from a Walrus It said it really metanic. It does, right? So what's going on is they have these like pouches in their throats. they're called like pharyngeal pouches. They inflate them with air. It actually acts as kind of like a flootation device in the water. It helps them like stay afloat. But they can kind of like clang the air in this like big throat pouch. Wow. When they do it in the water, it sounds like a bell clanging, but that's a walrus making that sound with their air full of like air throat batch. Weird. That's fascinating. It sounds like something's tapping on the hull of a ship rather than something expanding and going at it's mad. It's crazy. You you ready for sound number two? Yeah Yes. This is sound, number two. Sound like they're having an awful day. You've put some audio from Scream seven in there, Ellen, accidentally. Very strange sound, right Spooky. I'm gonna go for a bat, I think, on that one. It sounded so gari. It did, didn't it? That's the feeling I got. I wonder if that is the sound regter has been brought up so we could hear it and we wouldn't normally be able to Nhing I've gone more route one, I think. I've gone Howler mononkey. Is that route one a how? I don't know if howler monkey's been route one for anything. W, it sound like sort of a screaming monkey And James, I have gone for an orcca because it sounded sonari and one of the only impressions I can do is of Willie from Free Willie. And it sounded a little bit like that. Gone on then, Let's hear it. I will do this impression and you'll go, that sounds ridiculous. And if you play it at the exact same time you're playing the film, it is uncanny. I could play the part of Foy artist for Willie B It might not sound like much on its own. It's spot on. Sounded like the ghost of freew. So none of those answers are what I was looking for. I'm gonna give you my hint. Chicago is home to the Grand Lodge headquarters of the benevolent and Protective Order of Blank. Oh there's lots of words there. I'm realizing now that this is a very American question and a very American h. I've zoned in on the word lodge and I'm hoping that it's for otters, because I think they live a lodge don't they Otters live a halt. A What lives in a lodge then? at Beavers's. Do want to change your answer? No, he does not want to change his ans. not let him change. His answer is Otter. Boo. He is not allowed to change his answer I've got beaver No S they Metagaming, you're metagaming. Unbelievable. I had written down bulls and beaver, But because Johnny said Beaver, I'm gonna say bull, only because Chicago, Chicago bulls. Yeah, I wrote down bears first and then yes. Initially thought cubs, then went bears and then thought, what lives in a lodge that's not the Freemasons That is along the same lines as where I was going with the hint, but the closest was James with your answer of Bll This is an elp Which actually I'm now realizing you guys might use the word elk to refer to what we call moose. Do you guys call moose elk? Yeah Elk in America is a different species. They are a very, very large deer that live in western andorthern North America and also in Asia, like you'll find them in like Siberia and Mongolia and stuff. But that is this is the bugle call of an elk They make this call in the fall when they are mating. Wow. And it's terrifying, isn't it? It is. It's really like I said, it's really haunting. Yeah.. Can you imagine just and there are so many videos on like TikTok and Instagram and stuff of people that live in like Montana and like Wyoming and stuff like that, of people just like in their houses or like at school or something and they just look out their window and giant elk in the middle of the street making this sound and you can hear it all over town So that one was an elk, so James got it closest, so you got one point. Yes, I was only kind of joking with the Chicago Bulls, but it's led to victory. I'm delighted on that.. It worked, it worked. And also Ellen, in the pod last week, we mentioned a Waapeti. Yep, that's the same thing. Waete, yeah. Of course, the Waapete. But yeah, we call them elk here, but yeah, Wapete is a better name because of the whole ellk moose debacle. Yes Are you ready for the next sound? Yeah feels more familiar, but I still don't know it. Sounds like the brakes on my bike There' a brakes on your bike. Yeah, I thought it was like a balloon being kind ofzed as the air left it. It sounds like an air horn to me. Yeah. Sounded like the beginning. I was like, o, there's an alarm going off at the beginning of this clip of animals. And that's also like very many of them in that clip. There's very many of them making the sound to each other I think it's some sort of bird that I've never heard before, and I don't think I've ever heard the noise a Horn Bill makes. So I'm going for that Why not? Johnny I've done the exact same thing. But I'm not entirely sure the animal I'm saying is even a bird, Ellanor will tell me. I have gone for a kakapo. That is a bird. That is a parrot. Okay, good. Similar, Jones. Yeah, well ' I could hear other birds in the background. so it was like its just loads of birds chilling out together. Yeah, that's what I think. see, I assumed that was at a zoo or something like that. so the birds were just bit of background noise and they were howler monkeys Yeah, why not? A second nod to howler monkeys. You could never have too many howler monkeys. None of the answers were what I was looking for, but one of you was close. Oh, well, one of us was and two of us said birds, so I think But it could be a bird that's close to that bird. There are very many types of birds. Oh gosh. You're hint for this one. This animal's sense of music and rhythm might make you want to move it move it. I'm just gonna jump in, Ellen, if I'm allowed. Yeah, I think so. I think Is it a lemur? What do you guys think? That's what I've got. Oh I've gone King Julian. He likes to move it, move it. He does like to move it move it I couldn't think of the movie that was from, so I've not written Lemus down. I've written down some of the lyrics from that song and I realize I'm completely wrong because they don't make sounds. I've written ants because they sing Ansimer pants, Anser pants Do they. quuiteet a p you demonstrated a lot of familiarity with the song. Exactly, but not with animals. Jim and Johnny did get it. It is a type of lemur called an Iury. Yes. And what's kind of interesting is that scientists have kind of like analyzed recordings of indnduries calling to each other and they have the same sense of musical timing and harmonizing with each other as human music. Like they have very human like musical patterns, which has only ever been seen in birds. They're like the only animal other than humans and birds that this like sense of rhythm and music has been seen in. Oh wow. Are you ready for the next sound? Yeah. Okaykay, hereere's your next sound. heard that before? Yeah, you've watched Predator, James. That's why you've heard that before. Now I think it's from an Atttenburgh documentary. Am I right, Ellen? That's not where I got this audio from. Oh, but I wouldn't be surprised if you heard this animal calling in a documentary. I thought it was there's a really famous clip parakeite or a type of parrot that mimics sounds and they mimic the sound of building equipment because of the rainforest being torn down. and so there were lots of kind of saws and building equipment. So their call is a mimic of that. Is it a jackdor or a parakeet or something? But Ellen it doesn't look like she's confirming that with her face. I'm not Trying my best to poker face here, okay? L I'm trying not to medigame. I've gone for something else that also sort of builds stuff. I not think they've got a very tiny microphone and it was an annt. Oh yeah, in your pants. Specifically hammering away at something. I'm putting that as your answer. That is my answer. He's putting up a picture of his aunt S I'm torn between two, the hippo or the Woodpecker. I'm gonna go Woodpecker. John' was repeating Johnny and my answers from the previous questions. That's a high form of phrase. But they're great answers Okay, none of these were the answer I was looking for, I will give you your hint. If you get this one right, you'll be koalified for four thumbs up. I'm jumping in with a koala. I'm gonna follow you in with a koala as well. Yeah, I thought Ellen maybe said koalified. Are we right, Ellen? Yes, it is the koala. Ohes. That is correct Everyone gets two points Yeah, that sound is crazy, right? Like when you hear that, it sounds like a motorcycle starting up. Yeah What's it doing? That's just this That is the sort of call that they make. What's interesting is that they have this like set of vocal folds that's actually not in their larynx. Like it's like outside of their larynx, they have like extra vocal folds that are like huge, like way bigger than most like vocal folds are for an animal their size. There's not any other known animal that has a structure like that. It's a very strange structure. even like other marsupials don't have that. And it just makes them make this really, really low pitched sound like way lower than you would. Koalas are not that big. They're like this big. But they make this sound like a motorcycle starting up. That's nice. Okay, so these next four I actually don't have hints for because you have probably heard these sounds before I love it. Okay, Are you ready? Yeah Eagle. Eagle. Yeah. I'm going Bald Eagle. Oh, no, I'm going for what was the one you liked? Bearded Vulture. I'm gonna go for the golden Eagle then We're gonna go for the Kestrel eagle. Who said Kestrel? Oh, I did. Let me double check that might be closer. I was just doing a silly joke again. You said a lot of animals. Oh no wait, that's a falcon. Walk it back, walk it back. It is not an eagle. Can anyone pull out what they think it actually is? An albatross Condor Pume it's a big bird of prey, an osprey. A vulture is a red tailed hawk A All about the haawks. Yeah. Bald Eagle was still closest because they are haawks. Oh, it's used in everything. In everything, right? And now I will play you what Bald Eagles actually sound like Not cool at all, right? No, why that sound shouldn't come out of something out of that big? I really did like that. I don't know, that was a bit nerailsed on the chalkboard for me, it g give me a bit of a shiver down the spine. The reed tailed haawk sounds way cooler, and red tailed haawks are also much smaller. They're like half the size of a bald eagle. So in like every single video or song or anything when they're trying to like convey a bald eagle, they always use the red tailed Hawk sound because bald eagles do not sound cool at all. uch a cool fact. Okay, you ready for the next one? Yeah. Or is this your owler monkey? I'll be the third person to say it? I've heard that. I've heard that noise. That's what I'm saying. Like these are all sounds that you have certainly heard before. It's outside at night. I'd go an owl or something like that. I've also written an owl. Yeah. I might go fox. John and Johnny were closer so you each get a point. It is a bird called a loon. Have you ever heard of a looon No, never heard of a.. Yeah, they They are the state bird of Minnesota. And so that type of call is called a tremlo call. That's like this little trilling call that they do. They also do this really beautiful sort of like longer call that's very like mournful sounding. But this sound is one that you will always hear in the background of movies and cartoons. I remember hearing a lot in cartoons. It's always meant to be like just kind of like a spooky background like oh ye. It's like the Wilhelm scream It is the next one, you've probably heard this one too, but let's see you know what it is pan I would guess. I'm going holer monkey. I'm locking it in before anyonese start Jony. I's just about to save E. I'll go classic chimpanzee in that case. Well I said John. Oh did you? Let's go for a macaque. Unless that's giving him a point in which case, donon't give him Ellen It a b could be like a cookab Bura or something. I'm gonna give that one to Johnny because it is a cookabura. Whoa. Well to Johnny. Johny! It's always just used to be like jungle. It's just jungle. like this sound jungle. It took me to like, yell like Indiana Jones. Yeah, it's like in the background of everything. and so whenever I hear that sound, I'm always turning the person to be like, that is a cookabura and this does not take place in Australia. You would find that in the Amazon pal They make a great cricket ball, Een. They do make a great cricket ball. So Okay, this is the last sound. Let's see if anyone knows this one I do know this one. So it's used for dolphins, but it's not a dolphin making it. It's a bird. And I can't remember the name of the bird. Am I along the right lines here, Ellen? or is it just a dolphin? and I'm stupid. I was gonna say a porpoise. I'm gonna go rot one dolphin. That sound is a stock sound that everyone uses. And I think it's a bird. Ellen isn't saying anything, which makes me feel like I'm just digging myself a massive hole here. I' listening Give us a bird, James. Well, John's gonna to say howl the monkey, so I'm locked in with dolphin, donon't worry Wow, I said kakapo before, did I? Yeah, I'll say a cakapo. You were a spot on. It is in fact a bird that makes this sound. This sound was popularized by the show Fllipper. Yeah. aboutout dolphins. this sound was used for the voice of fllipper who is a dolphin. You heard it a lot in SpongeBob. It is a sped up Kuckabura Oh it's thea! It's the cookabar again. Absolutely outrageous behavior. So now when we're watching anything with a dolphin in or spongebob or any movie in the jungle, Cookab Bara. That's cookab Bora, That's a cookab Bora. It's cooars all the way down. The royalty checks the cookab bears are cashing, you would not believe. And you can now say Ellen as well Yeahah, that's a cookooaba So that is all the sounds I have. According to my note taking, I have a tie between James and Johnny. Oh Wha. Well, that's the best kind of tie ' John wasn't involved. I have both of you at nine and I have John at seven. I'll take that. Do you have a tie break, Ellen, or do you want it to end it as a draw? It's your quiz, your rules. I say it can be a draw. The nature of the game is meant to be everyone do your best I have sources for all of these sounds, they will all be listed in the show notes. And that was Cer ID Next up is Johnny. Animals. There are literally hundreds of them. Mbe more What an intro. For research for this week's quiz, I started listing every animal. soon realized it was going to take forever and it was fairly boring Swatle What's a more fun way to list them and by proxy came up with this episodes quiz. This is nose to tail and here's what you do. You will start with an animal. The next player must give me another animal that's nose, starts with the taail of the previous. And by that I mean it starts with the last letter of the an. So if I say hippo, w you'd have to give an animal that starts with an S. The next animal must start with an O. You keep playing until a player repeats an answer or simply can't answer in time. They are at the game but the game continues for the other two players And to give your a helping hand, you have lifelines to use. say skipo to skip and you put the pressure on the next player whoom must use the last letter you're stuck on, you can also use Bacrel to reverse the order of play. What's that a play on? Macrel Mac Right, sorry I love that. That is adorable When it comes down to being head to head, a backat crawl does just work as a skipppo. I am slightly concerned about the amount of animals I know compared to the other people on this podcast. Yes. Well this is why the skipper in the back pl may come in useful. They may be deployed early Johnny. We will soon find out whether it's James or John going head to head against Ellen presume no repeated animals. No repeated animals. I'm going give you a bit of thinking time. as we move on, I'm gonna be a bit more harsh. So we're gonna start with Alen and then James and then Jon unless someone plays a back roroll, and then the order will be reversed So we'll start with Allen and the starting animal comes from my five year old son and here he is picking the animal.

Who would have guessed Een was gonna defeat you both in a game of naming animals? That was so hard. That went on so much longer than I thought that was incredible I was thinking, we might play three rounds of this, but o smokes. know it's anything like it. What was the winning animal? you said Acorn weevil. And I had lynx lined up to try and get you with the X again. O course. I've been waiting. So when I said lion earlyer on and I wanted to change it, I would have done it with lyinkx, but actually better to save that until the skkippos and the bacrels had gone so you could get out of it. I think I set the X in motion because I said the alpine Ibex And then it got spun around and went back to me. and then I kind of played myself a little bit. Yeah. And that was nose to tail All four quizzes, it's time for us to select the best one. John went first so gets to select his favourite first. So Annie Mash, this is Classic James Snails, smashing together two answers to make us say something silly. Really enjoyed it. reallyally likek coming up with the Famming coyote and somehow shoehorning a dodo into my answer. Really good fun. reallyally also fun to hear the weird machinations that other people' came up with their answers and how they smashed together their animals. Really fun. And we had caller ID. What we don't do on this pod is use other sounds and other things like that. It was really lovely to have a completely different thing happen on the pod. Animal noises. I particularly like the double cooker bar at the end. That feels like absolute classic c tra and I'm really here for that kind of thing. I was so tempted to use like mimicry, like put in Oh that reminds me. The bird you were trying to think of was a liar bird. the bird making the sound. You were thinking of a liar bird. I was tempted to put like a trick question where it's a liarbird making a sound like something else, but I didn't end up doing that. I think we can cin a term the double cooker The double cooabperra. Such a lovely book. And then we had Johnny's nose to tail. There is nothing quite like the pressure of a time dround, particularly the pressure of a time dround when you definitely know an answer, but for whatever reason your mind goes and they all disappear. It's really difficult to choose my favourite, I think because of just the relentless pressure of it and the bacrel and the skkppo, which I hugely enjoy. I'm going to give it to nose to tail Well, that means Johnny you get to decide your favourite quiz next. Three great quizzes. We don't say every week. we normally say two great quizzes, but this week there was three Nine lives. Now, I feel like I was stitched up here because I knew all the answers to everyone else's questions But when it came to me it was some crazy made up animal. but somehow we still survived with some lives intact Annieash was a great fun way to mix up general knowledge with very specific knowledge. And on this occasion, both of them let me down. It's definitely time to brush up on my Latin. And then Ellen's quiz Cooler ID. And the best thing about guests on this podcast is we tend to learn stuff And my favourite thing is that I'm quite an insufferable film nerd at the best of times. But now I get to point at the screen and shout Cookerbora like Leonardo DiCaprio me every time a scene is set in the jungle. And for arming me with that Amazing piece of knowledge. My vote goes to Cooler ID. Well done, Ellen, and that means you get to choose your favorite quiz next. So Nine Lives was perfectly suited to my exact skill set, really threaded the needle so perfectly, I feel like was tapping into a part of my brain that has been inactive for a very long time H had a lot of fun with that. I also really enjoy a cooperative game An aash, I really loved having two opportunities to answer. So like if you don't know one category, you can at least like use your knowledge for the other one and it's gonna give you an opportunity to get something right. And also I like that you are guaranteed to get a funny answer Like that is great. You are guaranteed to get something silly out of this. So even if you don't get it right, it's going to be fun
