Hello, Pur-parading purposeful purposes, pursuing perplexity. Welcome to Good Job, Brain, your weekly quiz show and offbeat trivia podcast. This is episode 314, and of course, I'm your humble host Karen, and we are your parasocial participants, parkouring parabolically over chicken parmesan.

Colin Felton (0:36)

I am Colin, and I am indeed perspiring, as you said.

Chris Kohler (0:40)

And I'm Chris, also perspiring.

Karen Chu (0:43)

Well, let's start off with our first general trivia segment pop quiz. Here, I have two random trivia cards, and you guys have your barnyard buzzers, and let's answer some questions. Listeners, answer along. The cards I have for today are Trivial Pursuit 90s and Trivial Pursuit Baby Boomer. Baby Boomer. All right. Take bets on which card will do better.

Let's start with Baby Boomer. First question, BlueWetraTV. What did Barney Fife carry in his left shirt pocket?

Oh, Colin.

Colin Felton (1:29)

I know this because I watch this show and reruns. He carried Barney Fife in his pocket. He carried the bullets to his gun because he didn't want to have a loaded gun on him.

Chris Kohler (1:40)

Okay. Okay.

Karen Chu (1:41)

Who is Barney Fife?

Colin Felton (1:42)

Of course, Don Kotz on Andy Griffith.

Chris Kohler (1:44)

Andy Griffith. Yeah.

Karen Chu (1:45)

Oh, okay.

Colin Felton (1:47)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_4 (1:47)

Wow. Yes. Right.

Colin Felton (1:50)

What were they looking for? Bullets? Is that?

Karen Chu (1:52)

Just his bullet.

Chris Kohler (1:53)

His bullets. Yeah. His bullet. Yeah.

Colin Felton (1:55)

It was because it was like some combination of either he wasn't explicitly allowed or he didn't trust himself even.

Chris Kohler (2:01)

Right. Right. Right.

Colin Felton (2:02)

Barney Fife move. Yeah.

Karen Chu (2:04)

All right. Pink Wedge. What basement club was found at 10 Matthew Street in Liverpool before being demolished to make way for a railway station?

Oh, well, it's the Cavern Club.

Colin Felton (2:19)

Yeah.

Karen Chu (2:19)

The Cavern.

Chris Kohler (2:20)

Oh, the Beatles play. That's where the Beatles played a lot.

Karen Chu (2:23)

The Beatles Rock Band.

Chris Kohler (2:25)

The Beatles Rock Band. There you go.

Colin Felton (2:27)

The band that you might know from Beatles Rock Band.

Chris Kohler (2:30)

Chris Kohler (2:30)

Yeah. They were a real band. Yeah.

Karen Chu (2:33)

Wow. I knew it as a venue in a video game. Yeah. That's funny. All right.

Yellow Wedge. What city's World's Fair opened its gates to the public on April 21st, 1962?

SPEAKER_4 (2:49)

Oh, okay.

Karen Chu (2:53)

1962, you'll be able to deduce.

Colin Felton (2:56)

Yeah.

Chris Kohler (2:57)

Okay. All right.

Karen Chu (2:58)

Okay. Colin, you buzzed in.

Colin Felton (3:00)

Man, 62

Karen Chu (3:01)

There's a thing that was built.

Colin Felton (3:03)

Yeah. Was it Seattle? Was it Seattle and the Space Needle?

There we go. Okay. All right.

Karen Chu (3:11)

You know what? Space Needle? It's still very cool.

Chris Kohler (3:14)

Very cool. It is. I like it.

Colin Felton (3:16)

Yeah.

Karen Chu (3:16)

Moving on for Gold Wedge. What magazine debuted its Canadian Corner in March 1974 issue?

Chris Kohler (3:29)

Wow. What magazine debuted its Canadian Corner?

Colin Felton (3:33)

Okay. Canadian Corner. Okay. So it's going to be a big American magazine.

Chris Kohler (3:36)

Right. Right. Right.

Colin Felton (3:37)

That now has-

Chris Kohler (3:38)

Okay, Chris, what do you got?

Karen Chu (3:39)

Okay.

Chris Kohler (3:40)

Playboy.

Karen Chu (3:41)

That was my first guess. No, it's not.

Colin Felton (3:43)

1974 I don't-

Chris Kohler (3:47)

Oh, I mean, okay, Colin, before you say anything. Okay. Could this be, could we be talking about, like, liquor or something like that? You know, like, our Canadian products?

Colin Felton (3:58)

No.

Chris Kohler (3:59)

Okay.

Karen Chu (4:00)

But I can see how- I think now that I know the answer, it's easy for me to be like, oh yeah, I can see it.

Chris Kohler (4:07)

Why would they introduce- Why specifically do they need a Canadian-

Colin Felton (4:11)

Canadian Corner in 1974 I don't know.

I was gonna just say Reader's Digest, but I had no real reasoning behind it.

Karen Chu (4:18)

National Lampoon. Oh.

Chris Kohler (4:21)

National Lampoon.

Colin Felton (4:22)

Okay. Okay.

I feel like I was close. Funny people. Yeah. Yeah.

Karen Chu (4:27)

Canada, too. From those, like, yeah, comedy writer circles.

Chris Kohler (4:30)

Famously well-known for producing a lot of great, you know, comedy stars in that day. Yep. Yep.
