| 0:00.0 | Day 2 of the T-B-T-L Summer Games. Hello everyone. I'm Luke Burbank. I don't think I |
| 0:24.8 | identified myself yesterday. There may have been somebody who just stumbled across |
| 0:28.8 | Day 1 of the Summer Games. And I don't think I introduced you either, Andrew. I didn't. It's my fault. I was having that same exact thought. I was going to say, you know, I interrupted you during the intro last time, which I rarely do, which led us to, you know, forget to identify ourselves. I'm Andrew Walsh. You know me from such things as watching TV and playing video games well into the evening. And I love the idea that just, out of |
| 0:58.8 | the, you know, however many thousand people might listen to the show on a given day. Just one person randomly just had never heard the show before. And, and yesterday it just popped into their, I don't know, podcast feed. And they listened to it. And they were just like, you know what I love about this show? Like they loved it first of all. That's a given. Yeah. And they were just like, and I love these people aren't hung up. It's not about them. They don't like, they don't give their names. They don't gaze at their navels. They know that it's about reading a Pioneer Women dot com. Pretty uninteresting quiz on. |
| 1:28.8 | I love the internet. And that's they, they really appreciated that. And now they're going to tune in today. And I'm going to say my name is Luke Burbank over 60 times. They're going to be like, I'm so glad American public media put so much effort into promoting the show so that me a new listener could come to it. Yes. And as the host, Luke Burbank here with the longest running cobra of the show, Andrew Walsh, we welcome you new listeners. This is our summer tradition of taking a little time off. But of course, |
| 1:58.8 | we're putting out new shows each day because we know that the people are desperate for summer quiz content. The people are so desperate, Andrew, they're creating it themselves. That's right. The listeners to write us some quizzes. And our friend, the listener, Jamie and Mississippi, dear, dear friend of the show, winner of the T B T L. What was the name of that contest? It was the listener, new listener contest. No, no, the T B T L challenge. I was geez, Louise. |
| 2:28.8 | T L challenge where we asked people to get as many people to listen to a specific episode of the show as possible. Listener, Jamie won that listener. Allie was not far behind. So just, you know, very close kind of let's get somebody else up on the podium too. I want Jamie to be lonely up there. But we, we hitchhiked to Jamie's house in Mississippi and had an amazing time at her house slash house show venue, sunstroke studios. So Jamie wrote this quiz. And it is a Donovan song or vegetarian restaurant. |
| 2:58.8 | Is that is, is there those are those the parameters of this quiz? That's right. And Jamie doesn't do anything in half measures. So she created a whole looks like private website for this with some photos. And it's beautifully laid out. I have not gone through all the questions. But I see that it's a, you know, click and play type of situation. I don't know if that's a thing. But I will click through that. I can only see one question and an answer to time. But we should get some Donovan going here. So I assume I was going to say the game show music. I played yesterday. I could tell it was grading on you. |
| 3:28.8 | It's never so slightly and making you hungry. Yeah. So if you have some Donovan, you want to play by all means. I mean, it's seen. I mean, the only question is do we start with mad John's escape or skip along Sam? Probably skip along Sam. Let's just take a listen to this a little bit. There's no way for you to know this. But you got to skip. You want to try to not play something that's going to give away too much of this quiz for me. Yeah. I don't think there's, I don't think that skip along Sam or mad John's escape are going to be confused with restaurant names. This was really done. |
| 3:58.8 | The heart of my Donovan love right here off of the 1967 double disc a gift from a flower to a garden. Okay, Luke, here is your first question. |
| 4:08.8 | What do you say? I think Don could write a song for that. I could write a song for that. No, shoot. How do I always mess it up? I could write a verse for that song Don. That's my imitation Donovan imitating George Harrison. I think it's good. |
| 4:25.8 | And then and then Sean Connery's there saying Boshed, which some people think you sing Boston pronounced Worcester beat cafe Luke is that a Donovan song or a |
| 4:36.8 | Vengeance. I already love this quiz. Beat cafe. This is Donovan song. Good vegetarian. Am I allowed to ask how beat is spelled? You are B-E-A-T. I'm going Donovan song Donovan song. Now will I get the answer right away? |
| 4:54.8 | I will hit save and continue. And well, there is okay. There is an argument to be made that I should have tested this before because it's going to be a thing where we get all the answers at the end. |
| 5:11.8 | And it might just lock up. Then I hit refresh. Okay, this isn't working entirely well. I'm back to question number one, but it's a different question this time. |
| 5:22.8 | So I've hit refresh. I don't think I can do that again. We're going to come back to beat cafe later. Remember your answer. How about lady of the lamp? Is that a Donovan song or a vegetarian restaurant? |
| 5:34.8 | Lady of the lamp. These are good, though, because I can really see a universe in which either one of those things were true. I am going to go a Donovan song. I almost gave myself a desk bell for that, but I'm not in the no master. |
| 5:50.8 | I'll tell you when you give yourself. Okay, I think it's a Donovan song. Save to continue the quiz at later time. Please save a copy of this. What is happening? Why is this not working? Okay. Oh, okay, it's safe. You are correct, Luke. There we go. |
| 6:06.8 | Now you can ding yourself. The lady of the lamp is a Donovan song from his 1996 sutras album produced by Rick Rubin. Wow, I love the dazzling details that Jamie's putting in here. This is amazing. |
| 6:21.8 | Can I tell you I was what was I looking at the other day online? Oh, I don't want to the way I disrespected the duplication process with the pioneer woman quiz yesterday. I feel bad. I actually don't feel bad, but I would feel bad if I did that Jamie's quiz because she put a lot of time into this. I don't want to get us too far field, but I was looking for some reason I was watching videos of this guy's name is Wim Hulf. And he famously like sits in very cold water. |
| 6:51.8 | He's got this like his he's able to tolerate these awful kind of conditions that most humans can't like he'll just like he'll climb the Mount Everest in in bare feet and short shorts. |
| 7:02.8 | And he's expanded into a whole way of being in life, but he also has kind of a wispy beard. He's kind of balding, but his hair is long and he's pretty in pretty good shape. And after I watched a Wim Hulf thing, all this Rick Rubin stuff started coming up. |
