  • Internet welcome to special quiz Show.

  • I'm your host, Michael Aronda.

  • You are the most attractive side show host.

  • I must say I don't You ever get mistaken for me when you're not run a black shirt all the time.

  • Yeah, me too.

  • Welcome.

  • Thank you.

  • In real life, my name is Blake Day Fast, you know, And I'm their editor in chief of Sideshow and also co host of PBS Eons with this guy, we'll get to later.

  • But I'm only here today to officiate over the final face off between these two sides.

  • Show hosts.

  • On my right is the real Michael Aronda.

  • Can I ask you a personal question?

  • That's not the answer I was expecting.

  • Actually, tell me about your here.

  • You've updated your look.

  • Have I?

  • Yes, I just let the blonde grow out and I haven't gotten around to bleaching it yet.

  • Way back, it'll be back.

  • Like it actually getting my own blonde streak if you consider great to be a very, very light shade of blonde left is eccentric billionaire Hank Green.

  • Hello.

  • I die all my hairs and you know he is Rights went up to introduce you were all wearing black today because the last episode for a long time of social quiz show before we may be updated in some ways.

  • But I'm wearing like confetti by black Sprinkles.

  • Deep navy.

  • It's black.

  • It's got a little blue in it, all right.

  • It is deep Navy optical illusion and a lot of candy is like the dress.

  • Is it black?

  • Er's?

  • And maybe I'll tell you what Somebody's got a better vice captain somebody else.

  • So these two dummies were playing for prizes, but they're not going to receive the prices.

  • Instead, they will go to pay tree on patrons who have selected at random.

  • Who are they?

  • You'll be playing for a Sandra Reedy Alessandro And you, What's your name?

  • Will be playing for Daniel Bryan, Daniel O'Brien and to show our players and audience what they will win.

  • Here is a lovely, intelligent stuff.

  • Engine stuff.

  • It's the price is well, my friends, This is it.

  • This is our final time together for now, But you know what that means.

  • Everything's on sale.

  • Everything must be all prizes.

  • Air 40% off, 60% 90% off.

  • What's that?

  • Oh, there's nothing left.

  • Looters.

  • What I don't know what's happening.

  • Well, Sandra and Daniel, you're definitely still getting the autograph cards from the final round of the show.

  • And the person who ends up with the most points will get the commemorative by one side show, Quiz show pin.

  • It's made of metal.

  • But the biggest loser of the show will get the last final and the rarest of the rare pins.

  • Because it's the last ever I lost.

  • I show quiz show pin.

  • Well, I guess this is it coming at you from the prize own.

  • This is Stephan Chin signing off.

  • Okay, I'm gonna start you each off with 1000 points.

  • Just tried to get a correct answer.

  • You will gain points, and if you give a wrong answer, you will lose points.

  • Yes.

  • Do you follow that?

  • Yes.

  • Logic Okay.

  • Is arbitrary isn't so.

  • Without further ado, let's drop into our first round.

  • Looks can be deceiving.

  • This is a picture around.

  • So all of our answers will be based on images.

  • You ready plants and animals coming a dizzying variety of colors.

  • In many cases, these colors are based on pigments.

  • And those scientists, for example, are pigments that give plants fiber chains of red, purple and blue.

  • But it's purple interested in today because my question to you is which of the following for purple fruits or vegetables does not actually exist.

  • Oh, okay.

  • The tomato be the cauliflower.

  • See the strawberry or d the line.

  • Oh, a purple lime.

  • Oh, I forgot we had a buzz in e d.

  • No, I'm glad you said I wasn't gonna say D, but then why are you glad I said d Because you lost points?

  • I'm gonna say, See that strawberry looks fake to me, it is great.

  • I don't understand the answers to these things, but I have a colleague who does.

  • So here is smart Blake to explain the answer.

  • Thank you, Dumb Blake.

  • Anthocyanins aren't just pigments.

  • They're also antioxidants, meaning they can help wrangled charged free radicals that can cause harm to cells.

  • Now some people think that foods high in anthocyanins are especially good for you like that purple cauliflower.

  • But the science behind that claim isn't exactly solid.

  • Nonetheless, scientists have found ways to get more of these molecules into foods that normally don't have them.

  • Which is where those blue tomatoes and purple limes come from garden variety tomatoes don't usually have anthocyanins and the fruits themselves, but some wild varieties do so with careful pollinating and selective breeding.

  • Researchers have been able to produce tomato plants that make purple fruits, and most limes don't produce anthocyanins naturally.

  • So to get purple ones, researchers have given Mexican limes the genes from grapes and blood oranges, which sounds rather delicious.

  • As for strawberries, they do contain anthocyanins, but not enough of the blue ones to make the Berries look purple.

  • And so far, as far as we know, no one has tried to breed or engineer purple strawberries back to you.

  • Done, Blake.

  • I'm glad you want.

  • Oh, hey, thanks.

  • Yeah.

  • So there might not be approval strawberries yet, but I am all about their development because they look delicious.

  • Let me redirect a conversation slightly and let's talk about cockroaches.

  • Oh, there are over 7500 species in the order Black hoodia blood studio jumping is hell areas because whoever named the cockroaches were like, you're looking at cockroaches in there like glass, So yeah, yeah, obviously it means something in Greek.

  • Anyway, Black Tonia is the order that includes cockroaches, and they're incredibly diverse summer, even downright beautiful.

  • So I had no idea.

  • I thought cockroaches were one species.

  • You would think 100 different cockroaches.

  • This is amazing news.

  • I mean, probably not amazing is for everybody.

  • I'm excited.

  • I am to mean it so far is looking to get excited about cockroaches.

  • Yeah, that's great.

  • Which of the following is not one of those cockroach species?

  • Oh, okay.

  • We've got pictures.

  • So is it a the red stripe?

  • Anyone?

  • Be this noble bug?

  • See this spotted beauty?

  • D this large winged book e this glowing beast or F This little blue beauty.

  • Okay, ploy.

  • Oh, boy, they are staggering Variety Hit me.

  • I'm gonna go with F.

  • I was gonna go with that.

  • You saved me.

  • So glad I lost points.

  • Oh, thank you.

  • I will go with I don't know, like it feels, uh, a Also, there were so many.

  • There were so many.

  • The Roaches that we love to loathe are just a small fraction of the order blocked.

  • O'Dea, the ancestor of all cockroaches split from its insect relatives right after the end.

  • Permian extinction 252 million years ago.

  • And in this post extinction world there was room for Roaches to diversify, which is probably why you can find all sorts of pretty cockroaches today.

  • You can even find ones that mimic other insects, including Beatles and fireflies.

  • But that picture in our lineup was a true firefly, not a cockroach mimic.

  • Now you astute viewers might have noticed that there's a termite in their group as well.

  • And that's because, technically speaking, termites are cockroaches.

  • A pair of studies has demonstrated that termites are an offshoot of the cockroach order, basically a version of Roaches that lives in colonies.

  • But the interesting thing is that this split took place around 150 million years ago, a good 50 million years before ants are be started living in colonies.

  • So good for them, I guess.

  • Back to you, Blake.

  • I once killed a cockroach on my face with a shoe.

  • The cockroaches on the counter just I was asleep at the time, and I Oh, yeah, I woke up and I was like, There's a dead cockroach.

  • Didn't leave like squish on your face.

  • Yeah, it was smelled really bad on the inside, huh?

  • Might be ahead for now, but it's anyone's game because it's time for round two, which is our patron Poop Paree.

  • Oh, is that why it smells so good in here?

  • Suddenly, if yeah, way asked our patrons to vote on some topics for potential questions on these are the ones that they voted for and it's about blood.

  • You ready?

  • I have is over that?

  • What blood type are you?

  • I have no idea.

  • Really.

  • You should know O negative.

  • I'm the best one.

  • I am a positive and it's only eight plus, I've ever gotten very proud of it.

  • So blood type is a combination of special molecules called antigens that you have on your red blood cells.

  • Like a person with a B positive has A and B antigens as well as recent d enter Jin's, which is the plus.

  • And so these three antigens and various combinations of them give us the eight major blood types that we know off and your blood type of super important because it dictates who can receive your blood.

  • But your blood type is actually an oversimplification, because there are many other rare blood types.

  • These happened when people have or lack other antigens.

  • So the question is how many of these blood antigens are known to science.

  • Is it a around 35?

  • Be a little over 200.

  • See more than 600 d over 2000.

  • So it's a total number of known blood antigens known to science.

  • So there's like, there's like, I can't look it with card.

  • Huh?

  • I guess I look first, and I'm gonna go over 2000.

  • That is incorrect.

  • Well, but I was talking about all animals.

  • That's just human.

  • Is that what the question is about?

  • So therefore, judging on this so we don't have judges because we're making this all Yes, B, that is also correct.

  • Eyes it was more than 600.

  • 2000 is more than 600 way go by.

  • Price is right.

  • Rules.

  • I was over, so I think I should get those points.

  • What if we just give Michael 1000 points for hosting Sideshow?

  • Oh, that you guys?

  • Yeah.

  • Yeah, I approve.

  • Okay.

  • This even when a donor's blood is matched with a recipient like a person with o negative, blood has given o negative.

  • Blood transfusion reactions can still happen.

  • And that's because there aren't just three blood antigens.

  • There are hundreds over 600 as of 2019 and new ones keeping discovered.

  • Those discoveries generally occur when something goes wrong.

  • When a human body Encounters of Blood Engine has never seen, it mounts an immune response to it.

  • So new enter Jin's are generally discovered when an unexpected reaction occurs, either during a transfusion or hopefully when blood is being tested before being used is something strange does happen, like two blood samples clumping together.

  • That could indicate that either the donor has a new rare introgen of the recipient, Lex, one that most other people have.

  • In other words, one of them has a rare blood type from their scientists have to track down what actually caused the reaction.

  • You figure out what's different about the blood cells involved.

  • So what we think of human blood is coming in a flavors.

  • If you were to take into account all of the known antigens in all their possible combinations, there are actually millions of human blood types.

  • Those eight are just by far the most common.

  • While smart plate was talking, we just had the Blake.

  • It's 10,000 points, thank you, but you can't win because you're hosting Oh that's true and then not have to give it to a Patriot patron.

  • And then there are the tax ramifications.

  • Transfer points for our semi existent game show.

  • Okay, so moving on from human blood, let's turn to another delicious liquid whiskey.

  • Oh, sometimes that's in human blood.

  • Well, probably not.

  • Actually, whiskey Let the whole of the whole whiskey Yeah, whisky is made from mashed fermented cereal grains like Captain Crunch or Froot Loops.

  • It says here F and the unicorn thing that they sell at Costco that also is included in this whiskey.

  • From that, it's not exactly clear who distilled the first whiskey, but many would say that Tennessee is perfected it because Tennessee and edit a step to the process known as the Lincoln County process.

  • So what happens during this process?

  • Is it a aromatic compounds from sweet woods like sugar maple leach into the whiskey.

  • Be new.

  • Aromatic compounds are made when the booze is heated in the barrel.

  • See new aromatic compounds formed when the booze is vigorously stirred, or d a significant portion of the yes, just like that d.

  • A significant portion of the aromatic compounds are moved by.

  • Chuckle.

  • Yes, Mr Green with Dee Dee.

  • Yes, Oh, Scotch is only Scotch if it's made in Scotland, and champagne is only champagne if it comes from the old province of Champagne in France.

  • But the key to making Tennessee whiskey even more than the place is the Lincoln County process.

  • That's the charcoal mellowing step that, by law defines Tennessee whiskey.

  • Because sugar maple is usually used for the charcoal.

  • You may think that Tennessee whiskey sweetness comes from the wood, but this process doesn't add sweet flavors.

  • It actually removes some of the chemicals in the booze, and chemists have only begun to investigate exactly what's taken out.

  • Researchers at the University of Tennessee studying the chemicals and whiskey that humans can smell called utterance and compared them before and after this critical step.

  • Unsurprisingly, that filtered whiskey had a milder smell.

  • But the researchers were shocked to find that some utterance decreased by up to 30%.

  • So that truck oh, really does take a lot out of the booze and future studies.

  • Researchers hope to vary things like how long the whiskey filters and the ratio of charcoal to whiskey to figure out what makes for the tastiest final product.

  • Please enjoy this quiz show responsibly.

  • And now back to regular dumb Blake.

  • Quite interesting indeed.

  • Let's see what other patrons were interested in.

  • Apparently it's monkeys.

  • Oh, yeah, I'm gonna be my blood whiskey monkeys.

  • All the best thing.

  • Michelle has everything.

  • It sees every smart animals that can learn new behaviours.

  • So it shouldn't be surprising that monkeys that hang around humans have all sorts of weird things.

  • But the closer researchers have looked at wild populations, the more they find that monkeys do surprisingly human things, even when they haven't been influenced by us.

  • Which of the following behaviors has been observed in macaques that have lived around humans and in ones that aren't usually around people?

  • Is it a bartering?

  • Be flossing.

  • And it tells me to specify not dancing, but flossing the teeth.

  • Okay.

  • I would empty my pockets to see a monkey.

  • Flossing e would pay.

  • I give all the money I have to see that See, weaving grasses de wearing coverings on their feet.

  • Oh, I forgot.

  • I deserve that.

  • But hey, that's what I was gonna You saved me again.

  • Thank you.

  • Michael.

  • Uh, does not a bunch of fish tacos, and I kind of need a fost myself right now.

  • But I can't be flossing, right?

  • That's correct.

  • Flossing their teeth.

  • I said, it can't be floating and you just told me it was It is So you get, I'm giving you this point.

  • You're welcome.

  • Wow, I feel very lucky.

  • I, too, would enjoy seeing a monkey flossing.

  • But it turns out that behavior has been observed in primates is the kind of having to do with dental hygiene in monkeys.

  • Tooth flossing was first reported among long tailed macaques in Thailand in 2007 and at the time is thought to be a novel behavior because in general it was thought that tool use wasn't very common in monkeys.

  • That was more of an ape thing.

  • But these macaques lived in and around a Buddhist trying where there was abundant material for them to work with in the form of human hair and lo and behold, As scientists observed more populations of monkeys, they came to realize that flossing wasn't unique to the macaques, that the trying Japanese macaques have somehow picked up the habit too, and has even been observed a macaque populations that don't live alongside people In the absence of human hair, monkeys will floss with pretty much anything that's fibrous, from coconut husks to blades of grass to even feathers.

  • But not all monkeys floss, which suggest it's a learned behavior path from one monkey to another.

  • And that might also be why female monkeys exaggerate their flashing movements in the presence of their young, which is just adorable.

  • Back to you, Blake.

  • I was just so excited.

  • That was the right answer.

  • Actually, flossing dancing was gonna be the answer.

  • No.

  • Yeah, but they also I mean, I'm a cat Could definitely a fortnight, No doubt You think so?

  • Oh, yeah.

  • Well, beat you.

  • It would be me.

  • You really beat me too.

  • Okay, let's tell you the scores and Green has 1400.

  • Well, Michael, Rhonda has 1500.

  • Do it has 10,000.

  • And with that it is time for our final round.

  • We'll sharpies out.

  • Gentlemen, this is your chance.

  • Because it all comes down to how much you bet and how you answer the question.

  • In this last round, which writer has titled Waste Not Want not.

  • And as it happens, these questions also chosen fire patrons And it's also about poop.

  • Oh, yeah, Specifically bat poop.

  • Or, as it's often called, in a more sci fi term guano.

  • Okay, but first, let's pause for a break.

  • Okay.

  • Were Beth anyone who has ever had bats ticker presidents in their attic know that that's poop a lot.

  • And have that happen to, you know, I'm just saying, like, all animals poop a lot like high poop a lot and good for them, right?

  • Yeah.

  • You gotta be regular.

  • They're gonna be happy.

  • This makes him an important player in many ecosystems, their entire cape systems that rely on bat guano.

  • And over the centuries, people, I found it to be a very rich and useful substance.

  • Do Now, Which of the following is not a way that people have either?

  • Used bat guano are currently investigating using it.

  • OK, there are only see six choices, so brace yourselves.

  • Goodness gracious is much harder.

  • Is it a explosives?

  • Be adhesives, See?

  • Protein powder de compost activator, E detergent, booster or F light stock feed supplement.

  • I mean, all right.

  • You ready?

  • Ready.

  • We both said see, And you're both incorrect.

  • Which was your wager, All the points.

  • Oh, wait.

  • Eyes is too high.

  • Five As excreted waste goes, guano is incredibly useful.

  • That's why people have been mining it and using it for centuries.

  • It's high in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus, which makes it an excellent fertilizer.

  • And all that nitrogen also makes it the perfect ingredient in explosives.

  • Easy to make gunpowder, you need potassium nitrate.

  • Also known Assault Peter and Back Guano contains a lot of nitrates, which can be extracted and mixed with sulfur and charcoal to make gunpowder.

  • Really, there's so many uses for guano.

  • It's almost unbelievable.

  • Scientist have isolated useful enzymes from the bacteria that live in it, which you including potential detergent additives.

  • So, yes, bat poop may someday help clean your clothes.

  • Because some bats eat insects, their guano is also an excellent source of Crichton, the police Ackroyd that makes up insects.

  • Exoskeletons, heighten and similar molecules have a wide range of applications, some of which are in medicine and food, like protein powder.

  • That was not at all certain that the Titan found in bat poop could be approved for human consumption.

  • It might be for livestock, though researchers have considered using it to supplement livestock feeds lots of animals already.

  • E quando.

  • Of course, it's one of the most important foods in cave ecosystems.

  • But as of yet, no one seems to have suggested looking for adhesives into stuff.

  • Maybe they will someday, who knows?

  • Specter.

  • You done, Blake.

  • I almost went with that one.

  • I thought about it.

  • A swell, but I was like no one would eat protein powder with bat guano.

  • My thought was, Shouldn't the bats have used the protein for pooping it out?

  • But I guess if it's a livestock supplement, then I don't have a protein powder with that back.

  • Wanna win?

  • I'm livestock.

  • I insist on it at the juice bar, at the gym in like please more back wanted.

  • I don't doubt it.

  • Don't doubt you, Daniel.

  • Congratulations.

  • You have 00 points.

  • I thought.

  • Was I playing for Daniel?

  • I was playing for Dan.

  • You playing for Sandra?

  • Sandra I was playing for Sandra.

  • You are playing for Daniel.

  • Doesn't really matter.

  • Apparently not, because everybody's allusion.

  • It says you've both emerged victorious today, which is not true.

  • Um, but you will both reign as champion of Social Quiz Show for some time, and that's because we've decided Revamp our quiz shows.

  • We want to spend some time retooling it, thinking about it, and we'd like input from you.

  • I know what you would like to see.

  • Would you like different kinds of questions?

  • They're kind of format.

  • A new set.

  • Do you not want Ever see me on the show again?

  • There are a lot of options.

  • Let us know in the comments.

  • In the meantime, you can see these fellows still outside show.
