"What it be in welcome to another episode of the trivia with buds, podcast, I'm your host Ryan buds. Thanks for checking out the show. It's been quite a while since I recorded a new episode of the show. I was a couple of weeks ahead, which I am never usually ahead of anything in my life, but I found myself being a couple of weeks ahead because I had these live shows that I had prepared in advance for live shows week, plus I had episodes interspersed in there for birthday shout outs and things like that. So this is my first time recording in a couple of weeks and hope you like today's quiz. It's ten random questions from a confidence round that's how I close all my live trivia nights in Southern California, northeast Tennessee, and hopefully soon chick kago, that's right, trying to get some weekly shows going in the south suburbs of Chicago, where I started this whole trivia thing way back when in 2010. So if you are a listener in Chicago and you know a fantastic bar or brewery or winery or distillery that you hang out at that doesn't do trivia, shoot me a message, Ryan bud's Gmail dot com or go to trivia with buds dot com hit the contact form. I will send you so many free things if you're lead leads to some more weekly trivia location action for me. So again, Ryan buds at Gmail dot com. If you live in Chicago land anywhere and you want a trivia night with my branded trivia 5 rounds kind of like you're listening to today.

But I do want to establish the credibility that you specifically have on this subject because you've reported on this, you have studied evolutionary biology, as is your want on this show. To explain and understand why it is that the history of butts is a 2 million year old subject that is worthy of our inspection as sports journalists. This is my favorite part of these bizarre stories that we talk about. It's funny, right? Giggle, ha ha. Let's talk about athlete's butts. Everyone's swooning over football players butts. And then you drill down and you do a little bit of reporting and you make a couple of phone calls and you realize the glute counterbalances the chest that man was able to stand up and become bipedal and hunt and move in a way that would allow him to get enough protein to develop his brain that 2 million years later you and I can do a podcast on glutes and athletics. From experts in kinetics and physiology, the glute is the epicenter and the powerhouse of all athletic movement. Honestly, from a straightforward physiological standpoint, the glutes are not only are they the largest muscle group in the body. They literally dictate explosive power, they dictate balance. They dictate pronation of the legs and the hips, they are the most significant muscle group in the history of man's evolution and athletic performance and we never talk about it. No, because when you talk about a bud, it sounds like you're just talking out of your butt. It doesn't seem particularly rigorous, but you're saying phlegm, you've talked to enough people enough experts who say that actually this drives performance. So the people who have been talking about this, Dave, the experts, the rump raiders. The best of them, who are they seeing in this year's draft that is blowing them away. Well, I mean, that's, again, that's why you're timing is so good because from what I'm hearing, honestly, there is a prospect. There's a butt prospect in this draft that literally could be and I'm not trying to be funny. The best butt in NFL history. And so who's shank are you crowning? Here's the thing, right? We could almost reverse engineer this and you could figure it out if people are really tuned into this. People can figure it out, right? If you understand that explosive power comes from the glutes, speed comes from the glutes, balance comes from the glutes. There's really only one guy who it could be. That's a big man movement. He is. That is a big move and holy deserves a nice round of applause from the fans here. And he is 6 foot 6, 340 pound Jordan Davis. A man whose glutes are so developed, right? That I can't do the math, but I think he weighs one 5th of a ton. And he can jump ten feet from standing flat foot. They just watched somebody push in three 40 run a floor 8 two. Wait, you're saying Jordan Davis, this guy who weighs almost 400 pounds. You're saying that he doesn't have a single crack in his game. No, and I'm telling you, you heard it here first. Best butt in NFL history. But what's your personal credibility on this pleb in terms of your first person experience? I hate to put your own bud on the line here, but like why, why is this something that you have this personal affinity for understanding? So I believe it or not, I reached out to one of the most highly regarded pre combined trainers for NFL talent. And I've never in my entire career heard someone so excited about an interview request. It was like we had waited 2 million years for someone to understand and bring up the importance of the glutes. He jumped through the phone and was like, I'll meet you at the Hilton in downtown Indianapolis. It's all about the butt. I'm so glad you're asking this. No one talks about it. I can't wait to talk to you. His name is Mark vest sturgeon. And he's trained, I mean, probably by now, hundreds of high draft picks. And he focuses very exclusively on the glute in developing athletes for the NFL. We met in the Conrad Hilton lobby in downtown Indianapolis. Now, the Conrad is like marble floors, chandeliers, fancy art, and like down the hallway was Andy Reid, there are agents, it's sort of like the fancy schmancy place, and immediately this trainer puts me on the floor of the lobby and starts running me through exercises screaming at me to fire my glutes so that I'll know and feel the importance of where the power comes from in your body. Wait, wait, wait, hold on. Hold on. So my mental image here of you on the floor with this sports scientist of sorts. As he's yelling at you to fire your glutes, what does a firing of glute entail? Well, I guess just I didn't have a choice because he was also sort of karate chopping each butt cheek and before we had to worry about security escorting us out of the Conrad Hilton, which they should have. Right. At this point. Yeah, and I honestly, I've seen Andy Reid a bunch and he still kind of gives me the side eye about this whole situation. But it was just a way for him to explain, look, you can't, your whole body can elevate just by firing your glutes. And he didn't want to take an hour to try and convince me he just showed me in 5 minutes and then the conversation was incredible. Wait, so you get converted to the religion of tail. And what then proceeds to happen? So just to give you an idea, the glute maximus, which is only one of

Listen to this guitar line. Sounds like a kind of basic guitar with them, right? Not exactly, because in the same way that the source of your ingredients will change the flavor of a dish, these sorts of subtle references in music completely change the meaning of a song. What is rhythm guitar? It depends on the genre. It depends on the sound and what's called for in a given song on the podcast switched on pop. We spoke with one of the most in demand guitarists, Corey Wong. He says that this guitar lick is what prince would have called chicken grease, and it's a distinctly different sound than say the Nile Rogers rhythm guitar playing thing that you hear on rappers delight or Daft Punk. If you want to understand the science of music in the same way you like hearing stories about food on gastropod, then try switched on pop, where we break down the making and meaning of popular music and let Cory Wong give.

Britain has the biggest navy in the world, and they've set up all these naval dockyards where they make their own biscuits. As we've made abundantly clear, these biscuits were absolutely essential. And so every navy yard had its own little biscuit factory on site. These places, they've become very efficient, they have a kind of assembly line and yet they still could not make biscuits fast enough for all the ships and all the sailors..

Finally, the part of the show where we get to play the field. How many different dates are out there? We don't know, right? Because we do not know how many varieties there are, especially how many local varieties that are grown in only a particular oasis or region are available. Their estimates as low as 250 varieties in the world, their estimates as high as 3000 varieties. Yet another date mystery for Michael to help solve. Today, the biggest date variety in the world, at least in terms of production tonnage, is called the deglet noor. That means date and Nora means light. Now I'll told us that diglett knows we're discovered in the 1600s in an oasis and the Sahara in North Africa. They are kind of all purpose dates, the dates that you use for making cookies. They are not really impressive, but basic dates. We tasted them and we agreed they were kind of boring. The texture is a little dry, they are not particularly sweet. They're not necessarily something I'd want to eat plain by the handful. These are the dates that on an industrial scale get chopped up and used for bars and baked goods. If you buy dates as dates, just to eat, what you're usually going to get is a medjool. Which is, of course, the queen of the dates. They are large. They are sweet. But I find, you know, they're their shapes very impressive. But the taste is kind rather, you know, it has no depth. As compared with birth hay. But he is different. They are, of course, a smaller than medjool, but their taste, it has had a depth of its own. It's too in texture and slight eating candy. There is the flavor of caramel in it. Are indeed massive. They're like the Hummer of dates, which is one reason they're popular. And they're a lot sweeter than eggleton or definitely another reason to snack on them. But we are both 100% in agreement with Noel. Medus are nothing compared to the bar he. The date farm that Sonya visited the one run by Chad Ross and his son Mark, they specialize in barhi. You feel how soft it is, right? So when.

"Power. Let's talk a little bit more about the sixth sense. And as you were talking about, some people have a innate ability to use it. Other people don't worry. That's right. Um You know again, It's like artistic ability or athletic ability. You know, Some people are like myself are just klutzy and some people just are kind of a natural genius and the tennis court or On the track field, And it's just the same with the intuitive ability and the exercises that we have in, uh, six cents Unlocking your ultimate mind Power. Basically, you can develop your six sense without having to have any preconceived beliefs about metaphysics or God or spirituality. Um, it's just a natural mental ability like athletic or artistic ability or learning languages. Some people have a gift for languages and we can all learn how to cultivate it easily. At what age two people cultivated. I mean, a little two year old pick it up. Yes, I'm two year olds. I mean, some kids are when they grow up. They remember when they were Children. We have, uh, I have a chapter in the book called the Brain You took to school? And it's all about how, um we as kids, especially, you know, those of us are a little bit older. Very often. We were, um we were we were ostracized, or we were punished in some way or scolded when we had a pre cognitive dream when we when we knew something was going to happen, um I have a story about a woman who said when she was a girl. One day, she said to her mother, Aunt Sally isn't coming to dinner today. Tonight, she's going to have a flat tire. And when that happened, I think they locked her in a room that wouldn't give her dinner. I'm afraid that she was a witch. So you know, we learn how to turn it off and when they when they measure intuition and Children There's a special test or survey that they use. They found that 43.8% of kids survey between the ages of eight and 12 naturally trusted their intuition over there, five physical senses and by the time we we became an adult population. That same test, which is the Myers Briggs. Only 25% of adults trusted our intuition, and that's because we get it. We get it trained out of it. We're told that it's not okay. We get punished for it. We're not rewarded for it. And so we learned how to turn it off. And then as we get older, and it starts to kind of flourish, or you realize That you need to be able to know when you go on a job interview you're supposed It really helps you If you have a gut feeling that you're going to get the job or not get the job or when you meet somebody. It's really important to have that sense of whether or not you should trust somebody. Um people want to learn how to turn it back on. And that's why I think we have such a an abundance of wonderful of educational in from information and YouTube videos, which we didn't have back in the seventies and books and articles and courses. Because there's a there's a hunger and there's an actual need for us to be able to tap into our six cents in order to function better. How do you know that? It's your working at six cents, as opposed to Some whim. No, I love that. That's probably the most common question that I've gotten, You know, over the years and, um, you know, briefly when I started to promote success, I remember I was on a call and show drive time call in show in Boston, and this man called in his name was we'll see the gambler. And Wolf. He said he had a dream that he should bet of the third horse and the fourth race and his uncle came to him. His uncle had been a gambler and his uncle told him and he bet on the horse and the horse lost. And so he wanted to know. How could he tell like a real hunch from a false hunch? And the answer is that we have a personal signal that's like our fingerprint and when that personal signal is present, and we know what it is will know that that's coming from our sixth sense and not from our anxiety. So, for example, if your intuition is a warm sensation across your chest or your hands tingle or you see a light like a traffic light and it's green or it's red. Or you hear an inner voice that says yes or no or stop or go, usually something that's very specific. That's coming from your success. And if you have, like, like an overall feeling of anxiety or apprehension, um that's what we call generalized anxiety. So intuition. Our signal is usually very specific and sometimes very subtle. Do you think when Jeff Bezels created Amazon, a little bookstore in his garage with his wife? He had the vision of how big it would be today. I don't know whether he had the vision of how big it would be today, but he probably had a vision of of it becoming a superstore if you will, or a mega store. I think that you know, I mean, all all of these amazing Internet entrepreneurs are created things like Google and YouTube. They had a very compelling vision, but they also had the ingenuity and engineering expertise. And team of people who could design and execute and there's a There's a famous story about Conrad Hilton, who is known for his hunches and people used to laugh at him. So he walked into this fleabag hotel and a bad part of town where oil rig workers slept in bunks, and they rented the bunk by the shift. And it was a part of town that nobody wanted to go to. And he walked in, and he had a vision of a very elegant people in a beautiful chandelier in the lobby, and he went Oh, a world class businessman's hotel and he went to the bank, and he described his vision and they laughed at him. But then he was able to get somebody to be his CFO. If you will, as financial officer and they came up with a business plan. He was able to get the funding and the world's first Hilton Hotel was Stevens Hotel opened in Houston about a year later, and it was because Not only did he have that vision of something that was bigger than anyone else had had had had seen or envisioned before, But he was able to figure out how to design it, build it and execute it. And I bet all the great inventors had that vision. Orville and Wilbur Wright with the airplane, Henry Ford with the automobile. Bet they just all had that vision. And some kind of pre cognition in order to develop what they did. No question about it. One of my favorites is, um, the alliance. How designed a sewing machine? It spent four years trying to come up with the design of the needle for the sewing machine. And he couldn't do it. You just couldn't do it. And one night he had a dream that he was in a big pot of boil of water, and he was about to be boiled alive and eaten by cannibals. And in his dream, he looked around, and he saw that all of the spears that the cannibals were holding had a little hole, a tiny hole in the very tip of the point of the spear. And in the dream, he woke up, he became lucid, meaning he became aware that he was dreaming. And he knew that that hole in the tip of the spear was the design of the sewing machine Needle that he had been trying to design unsuccessfully in his waking life for the past four years. And now we have sewing machines. Amazing, right? That is amazing. You talk about a quick exercise to help people recognize this intuition. How does that work? Well, I think the easiest way for us to do that is that we all have a time. Um and I've never met anyone who doesn't have a story about the time that you had a feeling you had a hunch or you had a sense..

I'd call it the younger crowd. To be honest which i still feel like i can blend in with a little genus family. Had a great time. I'm sure they didn't stay as long as you did. I guess now they did. They did same same schedule. Flew out together flew back together. Great flight on seven. Seventy seven and got Just a really great seats great. Travel all that Yeah they had a good time. I'm going to give you. I feel confident. Speaking for them they had a good time. It was a good trip and so thumbs up to vegas. I'm sorry to interrupt you but you mentioned something. That's your your your journey their trips by being so understaffed and It's not just vegas Know big dave can attest to this danger. But we are so understaffed throughout the whole casino and from my understanding. It's to what every single casinos down here through she which kind of puts a hamper on your experience. You know as much as we would love to take care of everything we've got people who have been given jobs at all of a sudden go. You know what. I've had second thoughts. Thanks but no. thanks. And i'm telling you it's is an amazing amount of of people that have done that over the last five six weeks as i don't know you know you've heard anything over there dana. But when joe mentioned that you know. I can't help but think how bad like joe said. What was the time limit that you want on the line joe just because they were understaffed. Forty minutes shocking amount of time. There was only three people in front of me. That's the thing you get on a line with three people on it and you think okay. This'll go quickly. They want to sell me these tickets. They wanna move but they couldn't there was either. You know maybe it was a combination of the staff. They have maybe they're not fewer but maybe they're less knowledgeable which is also a way to slow down the line like you know people who are good at their job. Fly through these things. And i'm not saying these people were bad at their job but everything moved slowly they was just slow and and let me ask you something because you know. I was soon as you mentioned that dave. I don't know if you thought about it but all of a sudden you know the biggest complaints we've had over the last few years concerning W w asap. It's a long lines for registration. How is this going. How's this corner affect that. You know we. We're only a little over a month away from this thing starting you know and Yeah you're right. Joey i mean you know the for people who want to you know be overly cautious and and rightfully so You know vegas has got like that off place. You don't have to go to vegas. Stop by stop by our casino. Any the ones down here. I'm sure on a friday or saturday. Night and I guarantee you're not gonna feel very comfortable. Day are completely completely packed as can i. Can i ask you an opinion on this because you know people have listened to the show. I'm i'm worn out on bad news to dave. I'm worn out on bad news like i've we've had a lot of bad news for over a year and a half two years just cascading bad news from every direction and it's terrible but the numbers are going back up and people are getting infected and some of them. A percentage of them are dying. And it's a pretty big number right. If that number keeps going up it's only gonna make things worse and worse and worse and even if we decide we are totally okay and going to stay open no matter how bad it gets. How are you going to get people to work. It's going to be. It's going to be tough and joe knows that poker players are very prone to complaining. You don't get things the way they want. So i can't help but think that this could be monumental disaster this year at the world series. They don't they don't get the staffing up and let me tell you something real quick dave. I don't know if you're getting dana. But joe it's it's funny. The polka rule is is. It's it's like a mini stage of world and the world that we're living in now. Because i would say every day that i'm in that room five or six sepals are complaining that they gotta wear masks. Okay and and half of the room has their masks. You know under their channing.

And you know he calls don draper all hours of the night with ideas. Like what do you think about this. And we think about that. And i have to tell you. Like mike becker is my conrad hilton. Call me and he'll ask me questions we'll talk. We'll take walks in the middle of nowhere. We have great conversation. we just. It's this weird thing. It's he's definitely that he is that accenture guy and i love him for that. I love him for that too. I thought he was super cool. And i also appreciated his advice for entrepreneurs and after we finished up you know we always talk with the guest of course in the restroom i. This is the first time we've met of course. I've heard a lot about make. Sure everything about me yet but we were talking a little bit and he brought up like this is just gonna tell it here because we all need to know what happens. She brought up like or why. Not why you get hot girls. But like i get hot girls. Yeah what he does know why you. He's married happily married until he was brought up the fact that as a question like why does he get hot girls. Yeah like what number on the scale. You'd be like your confidence which is so funny. Because he didn't know that. Before this you and i had had a talk about you know just like juicing up yeah sure and i mean he. He's got your back for sure but i also think too. He's he was wasn't he was questioning. But i'm just gonna say this time to question me time. Because i had not today. I'm at a low point right now. I'm just not feeling great. I'm not just. I don't know i'm at a. It's a weird time in the world and so i know because i walked out i remember him saying like a seven and i was like what are they talking about ten. There was a lot because he was saying that my personality is a ten percent the nine nine. Thanks thanks you really helping. My my looks are a seven. And what was the other one. It ended up to a third of creativity. You ended up to a twenty six out of thirty twenty six hundred zero to me. It's not horrible. I told him that you only go for the holidays. So it's like you're only scoring hadi's because you also like there's not a lot of feel so bad for everyone. I ever dated. Because they didn't go for the haughty they went for a seven.

We didn't really get into it. But they have licenses for almost every major honestly every property out there and currently they're making almost one billion dollars a year making toys based on pop culture figures.

This was the album heartbeat city originally. It was roy. Thomas baker rock producer. Did some great stuff but they moved to robert mutt lang of def leppard and shania twain and knows how to write. Pop hits or produce. Those saw that you know this this war this great sound and the cars took huge advantage of that. There were like four. They had from heartbeat city. Of course there was As you might think when up to number seven hello again was number twenty. And they're big hits drive. Hit number three. Get out and do you remember the video for the song. Yeah i saw the video where there. He's like jesus since in there. And there's all these freaks that look like they're straight out of the eighty s just trying to touch. They're all dressed up in. I don't know some are costumes. But it's all you could look at this video and just look at these extras and think. Oh my god. This is again super eighties so good and it should be you know where it was. Shot the video. The echoes a party scene but funding eleven but his genome reshot was shot. It was shot at the hill estate for hotel. The hilton estate families. Home the family's home. Oh the actual hilton so so like a baby. Paris hilton was there in. It's fair and eighty four born yet. She may have been She is not in it. So yeah was it. Conrad conrad hilton. That was the dad. Yeah and do you know who directed this video. I'll me put can poke to broke. And we know tim pope from well. We know tim pope because he directed less videos in the eighties but mostly because he directed thirty seven videos for the cure. Yes which is a significant. I mentioned robert lang robert mutt lang. Who's associated really with def leppard. He almost didn't produce hysteria because he had a commitment to the car. So he told def leppard they couldn't work on hysteria. But due to delays in the album's recording laying was eventually able to produce it and they lived happily ever after lucky for everyone including us. If you like the elvis. Gary which i do. Yes that's crazy the thing like. Oh my god. That's that might not. It might have been a completely different story for developer. Also i should say because i think in the last pop culture episode you kind of pooh poohing on one thousand nine hundred four. There was the the critic robert chris. Cow i'm sure you're familiar with them. Eight no that The glossy approached. The cars invented has made this the best year for pure pop and damn near twenty years. And it's only fair that they should return so confidently to form so robert crisco agrees in nineteen eighty-four is the greatest year ever for music. L. is speaking specifically about pop music and not necessary. The alternative genre alternative was good to go to that. Don't give me started that we already get into. Yeah so the cars. Magic was magical yet. So let's see the magic. Is this on. The k rock list of this song is not on the list. I am sorry..

A number of other architects here is a sense that this was a place where there would be work, and then again, all kinds of people leave and come and creates these remarkable kinds of juxtapositions of things. I'm looking at one of the comments not really a question, but This person writes that Standard Club has an Edgar Miller Blackman only a mural that depicts that detects the great ship. Chicago Fire in your club is really interesting. Standard Club had just a new Uh, way. We're called Headquarters clubhouse. Whatever you want to call it. I think my 13th and state not where it is now. And that was outside just south of the Part. The city that burns and they said, gave it over after the fire is a kind headquarters for various organizations and government agencies. But some of these places to get going, they had to find quarters, so they found what places that weren't burned. In the West Division, but also south some of them even in houses. The post office set up again in a church in the south. What we now call the South will open with the Sunday school was was the sorting room feel lighter and company border are least rented. Took over a A Streetcar railway horse bar. 20th in state and open for business fairly soon again way. I think that was the end of questions. Yes, um, give you the opportunity. Sort of the last last word in terms of summarizing, uh, Why you got into this and what? What you're going to do next. Let me let me brew a little bit here, but that's always that's always the question and basically, it's you know, it's what people like me billion. I'm retired now and my my work became my hobby. Uh, books and the sources are still there. I got into this in the first place just like aunt in Chicago.

Uh, both reveal and change things in important ways and some ways, Chicago on the fire are try to talk about this in the chapter of sudden, apart or analog to each other. That Chicago kind of grew like this wildfire out in the prairie and pick our partly because of its its haste. It was so fire prone and then when it burned down, and it just got absorbed into Not entirely with justification.
