Washington Football and Final Questions

This is Tangents My name is Frank Dickin. I'm playing at the seventh Street Sidery in Springfield, Illinois. I'm a registered nurse at St. John's Hospital, and I'm looking for questions on old Simpsons episod es, The Bible , Christmas, and Washington Football . Just taking your previous score. You're at thirty points, no pressure, but that's pretty darn good. I'm afraid the limit of five questions is gonna do me in this time since I got a run of about fifteen NFL questions last time . You never know. What have you been up to Frank? It's been a long time. It's been a while. The last time we talked, it was after my first semester of nursing school. I've since finished and become a licensed nurse. Beautiful. Yep. And that pretty much took up all of my time since then. And takes a lot of your time now. Yes. What are you looking forward to, Frank? This summer we've got a vacation book. We're going to Mexico, so looking forward to that in a few months. Going to a few Dave Matthews concerts this summer as always. Yeah, that's all . So wearing your DMB t shirt right now . Looking forward to that and otherwise, you know, just getting acclimated to the new job. And the weather. I don't think they have the air on in here . They do not. But as I said, Christmas is one of my categories. I'm not a summer person. I much prefer the cold. Same here. Where do you quiz ? I quiz at Bruce Pub typically on Wednesday evenings here in Springfield, Anvil and Forge with you when I can make it on Thursdays, work schedules a bit erratic . But those are the two main places. Bruce's K onee Wednesdays with brand on. Yep, of course, Anvone Forge. Friend of the podcast? Friend of the podcast. Yeah. Frank, speaking of a trivia. Yeah, are you ready to make your game?

Cases of plumbism or saturnism have dropped dramatically since nineteen seventies regulations limited the risk of neurological damage due to exposure to what substance ? A little bit of healthcare background now helps on this one. And knowing a little bit of Latin, the answer is led. The answer is LED, yeah, the Latin plum bum. Yep, we talked about this with Dalton after he missed the question . Sorry Dalton. But yes, lead is your first point of the game and it gets you these tangents . Health , science , space or the nineteen seventies of those, I'm most tempted by health, but being a new nurse that gives me pause because I don't want to embarrass myself, but I'm going to go with health. We'll see where that goes. We're going to go with health. And your question is this an excellent source of fiber and high quality protein, what superfood in the Amaranth family of grains must be soaked prior to preparation to remove its naturally bitter coating. That is quinoa . Yeah, that is quinoa. Okay , or Quinoa Kuinoa. Quinoa. That is your second point. I'm gonna get you these tangents .

Has to be Judas Iscariot. Has to be Judas. Yeah, that's right. Frank, we end on a good note. You luckily didn't make it to unlucky thirteen. Right.

We did a lot of that during the pandemic . And as most things happen , that sentiment kind of trails off, but it's always, this is something that should be done full time, year round, every year, not just during massive, earth threatening pandemics because you never know when you're going to be right back in the middle of another one of those. Well, and as of recording, it's Honda virus time. Knocking on the door. So yeah, be nice with your healthcare workers. Yeah. Thanks again, Russ. Frank always have you. We' onll see you next time.
