Those vintage trivia battle cards need some editing!
I was LOOKING at my copy of Jane Eyre when I was listening to the trivia question about the book's author, and it is definitely Charlotte Bronte, not Emily. Chris was right!
Thanks for making this podcast! It's given me another reason to look forward to Tuesdays. :)
Love you guys and your show!
Ohhh, but the Jane Eyre thing definitely got me a little riled up -- probably a sign of being really invested in the podcast. :)
Jane Eyre is of my favorites, and as I am one of four sisters, I know I would not be happy with my sister stealing my literary thunder!
Fun fact. Dr. Pepper Snapple group also Makes Mott's applesauce
Fun fact: The correct word is Maya when talking about those people or their culture, not 'Mayan'. The only time you use 'Mayan' is when speaking about their architecture. Not sure why that little tidbit stuck in my head...
"Istanbul, Not Constantinople," which you credited to They Might Be Giants, is actually a cover of a 1950s pop classic. It was famously performed by Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald though they were almost certainly covering it, too (everyone did back then).
Keep up the good work!
First time listener, and very upset by the Jane Eyre question.
From Eastern Connecticut - Coffee syrup was a staple to be found in my memere's ( quebecois for gramma, pronounced memmay) fridge every time we grandkids were over for a visit. Many of her family ( she was youngest of 15 kids) lived in Rhode Island. for such a small state , there are a lot of unique foods associated with it. Del's Frozen lemonade, RI Clam Chowder ( clear broth, not red or creamy) cabinets! etc. and coffee syrup - yumm. ( Meme' also kept moxie in the fridge too) how did you guys miss on Moxie?
