Alright, what is up people of the internet? Welcome back to another episode of the Waveform Podcast. We're your hosts. I'm Marques. I'm Andrew. And I'm David. And today, we're all here because we're doing a little bit of something different. Towards the end of the year, we always like to do some fun wrap-up style episodes. That's the fun of December. And I think what we found during this calendar year, we've done a lot of podcasts, but we've had a lot of fun with is trivia. And so informally, we're going to be wrapping up Season 2.

two of trivia by doing an entire episode of tech trivia and i am super looking forward to it now we might get a little competitive because we do have some scores currently to settle i don't know how this is going to work with like you being on less episodes david and we do have a starting subtle they're starting behind andrew and i we are tied right i think that's correct yeah what if you just make me tight i was just gonna say should we just make david tied so you guys are tied

I think we should keep the scores where they are. There are so many points to go around today that even though the current score is 15 to 15 to 9, I think we'll be fine. There's probably a couple of David questions in there, I'm guessing. I fought for you. That you're more likely to gate. I fought for you. It's possible. Oh, thank you. Either way, I think it's going to be a lot of fun.

I'm going to remember that for both of you. We'll go through this. I just want to say we need to do a flashback to the last episode we recorded where Andrew's like... So final score. Respectable. Mark has Andrew tied at 15. David has nine. Let's give him eight.

Okay, David has eight. What? He took a point away, so... Yeah, he definitely just said, let's put David at eight. Whatever, we'll figure it out at the end. We have a point system. We have a bunch of questions by our producers, and I guess we're just going to jump right into it. We've all got our whiteboards here. This will probably be best in a visual format because we're writing our answers down on our whiteboards. We'll say it out loud. We can say them out loud and flip them around, but...

Without any further ado, I like watching the Game Show Network. That's probably the most old man thing that I do at this current age. You're almost 30. Yeah. This is some big 30-year-old energy now. We're just going to do trivia the entire time. It's happening. You ready? I love games. Let's get into it. All right. So, welcome to Waveform's very special Thanksgiving Trivia Bonanza. Thanksgiving.

So there's a special format for this week's episode. There will be three rounds of trivia. Each round will have three different topics of questions.

Points will be given. Points might even be taken away. Anything can happen. Oh, wow. That's okay. That's all right. Big up for me. That was a strong intro. That was pretty intense. Now we've got a lot to follow up on. Rock solid, yeah. Ellis spent like hours in here making sure that the lights worked. So, yeah. All right. I'm a little nervous. Are you guys nervous? No. I feel like we're twitchy. First of all, is there a prize? Yes. Oh, wait. Your integrity. That's a surprise to me. Bragging rights. Okay. A surprise. Okay. The worst surprise. All right.

All right. Round one. Round one. Segment one. Wow. I call this one chipsets. So I'm going to name four devices. Can you tell me what chipset these products all have in common? Number one, AirTags. Number two, Apple HomePod. Number three, iPhone 11. Number four, AirPods Pro 2nd Gen. Writing, writing, writing.

You guys will have 25 questions, 25 seconds, by the way, to write. I've locked in my answers. I already have mine locked in, too. Andrew, are you ready? I'm so confident. So if you can flip them over one at a time and just say what your answer is. Should we go from highest to lowest points or something, maybe? Also, can you say the products again? Can you say the products again? Yeah. Number one, AirTags. Number two, Apple HomePod.

Number three, iPhone 11. And number four, AirPods Pro second gen. Okay, yeah. I'm confident. Ready? HomePod mini or HomePod? Just HomePod. Okay, yeah, I'm good. I understand you're... Yeah. Good? All right, I'll flip first. Yeah. I said the H1 chip.

The ultra-wideband chip in the iPhone and... Okay. I said the U2 chip, otherwise known as the Bono chip. Like the U2 iPod? No. I also said the H1 chip. Nope. Is it a trick question right out the gates? It's not really a trick question. Right out the logic gate? I mean, the answer is the U1 chip. U1. U1? Yeah.

So the U1 chip is the chip that does find my networking. That's inside the case of the AirPods. Oh, yeah. It's not in the headphones. I was thinking either U1 or H1. It's in the case, but not the headphones. H1 is the handoff thing for Bluetooth. H1 is just for headphones. Yeah, H1 is the, yeah.

I got confused because when second gen, I was like, oh, there's a new one. Right. U chip. And then I wrote U2 and I was like, this just doesn't sound right. We were close to that. I know, but I was like, we would have made this joke a thousand times if it was the U2 chip. So that's why I knew I was wrong. You were close. I was between U1 and H1, but I thought. I was between H1 and H2 because I forgot. Oh.

Dang. All right. All right. Strong start. 0010. Nice. Next question. Sick. I feel hurt. Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Asus Zenfone 8, Oppo Find X3 Pro. I might need that one more time. Samsung Galaxy S21,

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, Asus Zenfone 8, Oppo Find X3 Pro. Okay. Yep. Ready? Wait, wait, wait. Yeah. One more time. Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung... Oh, oh. Alex has the music. I forgot about this. Samsung Galaxy S21, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3...

Asus Zenfone 8 Oppo Find X3 Pro. What chipset do they all share? Yeah, I got it. Okay. You got it? Yep. All right. Flip it around. I'm flipping. I have the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1. I have 888. I have 888+. Oh, no. We all have different chips. All have different chips. Which one is it going to be? I think I got this. So, I believe, according to my research, the answer is the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.

8. 8. I added plus at the last second. I think because the S21 came out in the earlier. You're right. I said S21? S21. How did I say S23? My God. Whoa, whoa. That's not even out yet. Future phones being unveiled on waveform. Okay, yeah. So Andrew gets plus one. Damn, I added the plus at the very last second. Okay, whatever. That's okay.

I'm not going to be self-taught, Jim. Next question. Yes. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 Ultrabook, Google Nexus 7 tablet, the OG, not the 2013 model, Microsoft Surface RT, Acer Iconia Tab A700. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Which chipset do all these products share?

Throwing it back. Wait, which Nexus 7 first gen tablet? Google Nexus 7 tablet. The OG, not the 2013 one that was skinny and weird. The one with like the basketball texture on the back? Yeah. Do you guys need me to read it again? I'm just as screwed either way. But you have such a commanding lead. Wait, was this? No. Wait, what?

Do you need the waiting music again? Between two. Wait a second. Wait, hold on. All right. 25 seconds on the board. Okay. Can I get the device list one more time? The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 11 Ultrabook, the Google Nexus 7 tablet, OG, Microsoft Surface RT, and Acer Iconia Tab A700. Okay.

What's it going to be? Did it? I don't know. That's for you to tell me. That's it. What are your answers? Hold on. I am writing it down. All right. Marques, you want to say it out loud? Not confident with this. Snapdragon 700. Yeah. Intel Celeron. Nope. I have Snapdragon 808. Aren't both of those very recent? It's going to be a Texas Instruments chip. A Texas Instruments? Like the calculator? Aren't

Both of those within the last two years? No. 808 is really old. Yeah, 808, we had 810, 812. 808s is from like- They just started counting in way bigger jumps. Is it a TI chip? The answer is NVIDIA Tegra 3. Oh my gosh, I forgot. Yeah, I can't believe I forgot that.

Yeah, I forgot about that. Tegra was a good time. Tegra. I wish you- It couldn't have been. You guys didn't remember it. Well, because it didn't last very long. All those chip makers- I was going to trash talk while I'm ahead here. Man. I wish you guys used the Nvidia Shield tablet because that also had a Tegra in it. Yeah, that would have given it away. That would have given it away. Yeah, I couldn't- Yeah, I wish you made these easier. Yeah, yeah.

I wish I knew that. Okay. Remember the TIO map chips? The what? TIO map. I do not remember that. It was in the Moto 360. Oh, Rino. Ripped to those tiny chips. Good times. Okay. Segment two. This one is called years. Similar concept. I'm going to name four devices. Can you tell me what year they were all released in? Okay. Okay. Number one. Wait, real quick. Are we going to- Four answers? What? One year. I was just going to say, they're all going to be released the same year, but-

to make points if we get it all wrong closest? Yeah. Sure. Cool. Wait, whoever's closest? Whoever's closest if everybody's wrong. Just Delta. Oh, if we're all wrong. If we're all wrong. If we're all wrong. If multiple people are right, then they obviously both get points. Sounds good. Cool. So first, iPhone 3G, Sony Xperia X1, Google G1, BlackBerry Storm. What year were these all released in?

Dang, Marques with the confidence. Wrote it down, threw the board down. Ready. Yep. David, scary confident? I'm mixed confidence. I'm actually not. Wait, say that one more time. iPhone 3G, Sony Xperia X1, Google G1, and BlackBerry Storm. Oh. Oh. Oh. Hmm. Oh, wait. Hmm. Oh, wait. Google G1. Google, not T-Mobile. Google G1.

Are we ready? I think I'm good. All right, let's flip them. Marquez? 2008 for me. Harrow 2013. 2009 for me.

2008 is the answer. I put that first. I literally changed it again. This is the second time. You got to stick with your gut. Yeah, I wrote that first. Actually, I wrote 2008, erased it, wrote 2009, erased it, and wrote 2008. You want to know what's funny? I could see what you're writing from this angle. Oh, yeah. And you had 2008. Oh, my gosh. And then you erased it and wrote 2009. Yeah. And I was like, damn, I should double check because he seems very confident. I had 2008 and erased it and wrote 2009.

Yeah, the G1 threw me off. But the year after, the original iPhone I always remember is 07. So it's an iPhone 3G. And I was trying to remember if they released it the year, because it's not September at this point. It's like summer that it comes out. And I was trying to remember if it came out in 07 or if it was announced in 07 and came out in 08 and then the 3G was 09. The thing that threw me off was the G1 or the Google G1. I remember Android coming out in 2009, but I guess it was 2008. Right before. Yeah.

All right. Next question. I'm going to stop changing my answers. I just need to trust Mike. Go with your gut. Go with your gut. All right. Sony VAIO Pro 13. I got it. Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro. Acer C720 Chromebook. I remember that. HP Chromebook 11. Those two are the giveaways. What year were they all released in? Say it one more time, please. Sony VAIO Pro 13.

Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 2 Pro, Acer C720 Chromebook, HP Chromebook 11. How are we feeling? Confident? Not confident? You guys look deep in thought. I'm never confident. I'm not confident about this one. Not confident. I'm not super confident. All right. You ready to flip? Yeah. What do you got? Marques, read it out. I wrote 2016.

or 2018 or 2013. nope all wrong 2013. i wrote no i don't sorry you got it wow there's a 2013 he is correct i remember because i bought the chromebook flip for my entire family in 2013. how many did you buy three dang wow they were like 200 yeah they were super cheap that's why i figured the chromebooks would be the giveaways because they were like really popular when they came out

hmm yeah see i trust him i got that time we've had chromebooks for that long i have like five chromebooks in my memory starting with that's not one of them the cr48 oh that's a trivia one yeah the all matte black unbranded one yeah i like that one all right this is the last one of this segment they'll have one point samsung galaxy a5 one plus five samsung galaxy tab s3 and beats x

What year did all of these products come out in? Yeah, I think I'm a god. Get ready. You got it? Yeah, get ready. All right, we'll see.

Who wants to flip first? I'm just doing mental math here. I got an answer. All right. David, you sound confident. Let me see yours first. Yeah. 2017. I also put 2017. Oh. And I also put 2017. All right. He didn't. He didn't. He put 2015. I almost got away with it. I wrote 2015. I was wrong. All right. So David and Andrew get a point each. OnePlus 5 was the first major phone that I reviewed for Android Authority. So I remember moving to San Francisco and immediately reviewing that phone.

I was trying to remember based on years from the OnePlus One.

And I misremembered. That's what I did. Oh, backwards. I just went from 10 back to five and it worked. But there's a 10 and a 10 T. Yeah. But although all regulars and T's were the same year, correct? No, I thought the T was early next year from the regular. Not from what I remember. I thought the normals were always the regular, like the five would be in March and the T would be in like October. Uh, that might be right. Cause they did the early onboard the new chipset thing with the T.

So whenever the new chipset comes out. They've changed the T so many times because it used to be the T was the upgraded version. Now the T is like the middle between the 5 and the X and X Pro or whatever. It's so confusing. They're out of control now, by the way. OnePlus is completely off the rails. Yeah.

Okay. All right. We've got some segments. You saw that article the other day that was like OnePlus head says they promised that next year their phones will be good again. Oh, what? And on that note, this next segment is called Spelling Bee. So it's not what you're thinking. Good, good, good. I'm going to spell out the name of a product slowly.

The first person to say stop and correctly guess what product I'm spelling gets a point. Oh, wow. So no whiteboards, just say stop. No whiteboards, just say stop. It will not include the brand name or number iterations or fancy adjectives like Max and Pro. So for example, I'll be spelling I-P-H-O-N-E.

iPhone would be a potential answer. Not iPhone 6, not iPhone 6 Pro, none of that. Product. Yep. Okay. Just a product. One point per correct answer. Are we ready? We need buzzers. Ready. I was thinking that, but then I kind of like you guys just saying it was a little weird. So I just like you guys saying stop. Okay. And then I'll, okay, so here's a little bit more explanation. I will stop. If you get it wrong, you're not allowed to guess again. The other two people can keep going. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Number one. M.

A C stop Marquez MacBook I just said the first one that popped into my head there there could have been others nice I'll take the point though so now Marquez has 17 Andrew has 17 David has 11 all right all right next a I are

AirPods, stop. AirPods. I was like, air power doesn't exist. Exactly the chaos I was hoping for. J. A. Stop. Jabra. Nope. Damn.

Y. Stop. Jaybirds. Jaybirds. There it is. That is a company name, but the whole product's like Jaybird X5. Yeah, it's a product and not a company name. It's both, kind of. Like the X is the name of the product. Right, right, right. But yeah, I can't just say X. Yeah. I was like, whatever. That's good enough. You should. You should. You should go X. X. Model. X5. All right. M. M.

Oh. Stop. Motorola. Nope. Wait, what? Why am I guessing a brand name again? Yeah, that's a brand name. Sorry. Okay, good to hear. David, you can know what your brand name is. M. E. Stop. Moment lens? Nope. Andrew, it's yours for the taking. Let's go. Just wait until the end. Nice and slow. Until the end of the word. Spell it out for me. Slow and steady. N. T. U.

- M. - Stop. - Oh. - Momentum? - There it is. - Wait, but you, yeah. - I also, yeah. - Sennheiser Momentum Wireless. - I also got a little confused 'cause I thought you were restarting 'cause you went M-O and then went M-E. - Oh, okay. - And I was like, wait, wait, wait. Are we spelling differently? - Muteral. - I can start over. - You're like, M. - So if someone guesses it wrong, I'll just start over. - M-O-M. - Okay, yeah. - Start over, I think. - Stop, mom. - Mom. - All right, next one. V, like Victor. E, R.

S-A. No one got that. Versa. Fitbit Versa. Yeah. I thought there was a Nissan Versa. That's also a thing. Yeah, I think there is. Yeah, that's a thing. I would have taken that too. I think I'm going to spell it Veri-san. What a teaser for next episode. Veritasium. Okay. P-I-X-A.

Stop. Oh. That was exactly the same time. Rock, paper, scissors it. I want to see it. Rochambeau or shoot? Three, two, one, shoot. Okay. Three, two, one, shoot. I mean. Darn. I have an idea. I'm going with pixel. Correct. Yes. We said that at the end. Yeah, that was very bad. Mark has won that Rochambeau off. Yeah, I did. If you couldn't tell. Okay. K-O-M-E.

Oh, stop. Commodore 64? No, that's a C. Oh, really? Oh. Okay, starting over. Oh, I'm dumb. K-O. Stop. Okay. Red Komodo? Yes. Correct. There it is. Man. All right. See, I'm not good at the word games, and Marques plays Wordle every day. Literally every morning. Current score, Marques 20, Andrew 18, David 12. Andrew, you got to catch up here. All right.

Q. Stop. The meta quest. No. Dang. Q. What? U. I. E. Stop. Quiet. What is it? Quiet comfort? There it is. Damn it. I was... I gotta say stop. I know you're right. I know. Hit your buzzer. All right. Two more. I'm so bad at these games. N. E.

Stop. Marques? Nexus. Correct. Sick. It could have been the Vivo Nex. Pixel and Nexus both have an X in the middle, which is a nice giveaway. I'm pretty happy with those. All right. Last one for all of the marbles, or none of them, depending on how you look at it. Or just one marble. Or just one marble. Actually, I'll make this one worth three. Hell yeah. Brother. So that's a big one. M-A-R-B-E-L-S.

Stop David DJ Mavic. Yeah. Yes Very well done All right Maverick, okay. Well done. Yeah, there's all right. Let's do a score before yeah Yeah, so before we go to ads We have Marquez clocking in with a cool 21 points Andrew in second place with 19 and David holding up the rear at 15 points

Is that really how you draw it in, Marcus? Oh my God. I need everyone to see how he drew it too. That also looks like a 27 to me. That definitely says 27. It says 27. That's how many points I wish I had. He started drawing and I was like, that's a question mark. I love the two layers of two. We'll be right back. He drew it and closed it and I was like, I don't know what to do. I tried to do a bubble number.

All right, welcome back from the break. Welcome back from the break to this trivia extravaganza. I'm sorry, the music threw me so off there. I couldn't think straight. Welcome back to the trivia extravaganza episode. We're just going to keep going. We've got a lot of questions and we've got a lot of points on the board. I'll throw it back to you guys. Yeah. So this one is going to be a round of Ellis questions. So get ready. Oh no. Zero points across the board.

So, as we know from my previous times hosting trivia, one of my favorite things to do is come up with fake bullshit. So, today you're going to tell me if the terms I'm throwing at you actually came out of Apple's marketing department or if I made them up. Okay. So, on your boards, I'm just going to have you write real or fake. Okay. No, I'm going to tell you what...

it is and uh you just tell me if i came up with it or if apple came you're gonna define it or just yeah i'm gonna define it oh wow including the things that i make up okay all right this should be good all right yeah if you want to write on your boards actually ellis or apple i like that that's what i should have called this ellis or apple yeah next time all right so number one the word is soup

S-O-U-P. What? A soup is an individual file database on the Apple Newton. Oh, my marker's dying. You better go catch it. I'll be fine for this one. It looks terrible. Something's wrong with that one. All right, let's flip them.

We got Marques putting in Ellis. That is wrong. Let's go. Andrew, Apple. That is right. David, Apple. That is right. Wow. Yes. I don't know anything about the Newton. The Apple Newton actually had its file databases called soups. You could download soups. You could export soups. You could do all sorts of stuff. Not even an acronym, just soup. Just soup. Oh. Point blank. All right. Ready. Yeah. Number two, iLife. iLife.

iLife. iLife was a software suite that contained iTunes, iMovie, iPhoto, iDVD, iWeb, and GarageBand. Yep. I got my answer. Me too. Let's flip around and read them. Marques? Apple. Andrew? iOS.

Ellis. Oh. I remember. David Irelia. I remember iLife so well. I think the fact that it made so much sense made me think it was easier to make up. Yeah. Yeah, no, I remember iLife. Wait, iWeb was a thing? iWeb was an early web development kit sort of in the same theme as GarageBand and iPhoto. I thought it was a trick question because I thought that that was like a fake browser you made up and that's... That's why I put it in there. Got it. It's real. All right.

Number three, QuickPrint. QuickPrint was a printer protocol that worked over, what was it called? EtherTalk. QuickPrint was a protocol that worked over EtherTalk. Should we put the 25 second music on the clock? This is a tough one. Ready? Yep. I said Ellis. Me too. I said Apple. Oh, I said Ellis.

Okay. Wow. Nice job. Nice job. That was a tough one because that sounds like something Apple would make up today. EtherTalk. Everyone hates Ethernet, so we made up a new thing. I wasn't sure if it was worth it. Also, QuickPrint sounds like a really good protocol. Well, no, QuickPrint was the thing I made up, which takes us to our next item, which is EtherTalk. Oh, no. EtherTalk is the Ethernet implementation of AppleTalk. I believe.

Wait, you're saying EtherTalk is the next question? Yes. EtherTalk is the EtherNet implementation of AppleTalk. I got my answer. Wait, what was the last answer? Was it Ellis? Yes. QuickPrint was something I made up, but did I also make up EtherTalk? All right. I'm saying Apple. I said Apple.

We got correct. Why is that not working today? Interesting. It's correct. You're all correct. Oh, no. It said David. No, David. I thought, okay. Yeah.

That just, if you made that up, I'd be like, bravo. Cause that's not, that's like something. It does sound like something I will do. I just, I thought that Ellis kind of like tricked us up because he like faked the first one and then also fake the second one. But because you're getting, I know I'm trying to get into his psychology and it's not working for me.

It's OK. This is a tough category. All right, we got two more in this category. OK. Are we ready? Yep. I'm ready. Aye aye, Cap'n. You know, part of me really wants to take it a step further and be like, so is AppleTalk real? But I'm going to spare you guys and just tell you right now that AppleTalk is real. There's no point in going deeper down this rabbit hole. But the next one is another networking thing. It is a implementation of zero configuration networking, and it is called Bonjour.

I'm ready. Bonjour. I'm ready. Ready. Ready. All right, let's flip them around. Sorry about that. All right. We all seem to have said that that is a real Apple product. Yeah. It's fabulous, guys. The amount of notifications that I got on my iBook G4 about Bonjour reminds me that this is very real. For some reason, I think I only encountered Bonjour when we unboxed the old iMac with Justine. Mm-hmm.

And there's like a Bonjour DVD. Yeah. Or something like that. Or I booked you the clamshell. I used to get the Bonjour notifications all the time. Yeah, same thing. That's crazy. All right. So to round out this segment, I'm not using all the ones I read. I had a few safety ones. I just want to say one thing I had in here that I thought was hilarious is the Apple Quill, which was the stylus for the Newton, which I made up.

Not a real thing. But our last real question here is the airport ultra.

So we all know Apple was the first company to release laptops that had Wi-Fi built into them. It's very groundbreaking. They really believed in the technology. With it, they released the Apple Airport, which was a consumer router that was easy to hook up to these early MacBooks. And with it, they released a pro version called the Airport Ultra, which was noteworthy because it was the first Apple product to include Ultra in the branding. You're throwing me for such a lube right now.

I'm going through an existential crisis. I have my answer. Like, wouldn't we be pro or... This is like way before all the pro ultra stuff happened. Like, I remember the airports way back in the day. But do you remember the airport ultra? I don't know. I never owned... It's in middle school, bro. I hadn't started networking yet. I'm 12. I'm 12. I'm 12. Timer. Timer. Oh, fine. Oh. Oh. Oh. Okay.

We got him? Flip him. Flipping him.

I said that's an Ellis-ism. Oh, it was extreme. That is an Ellis-ism. You are right. Airport extreme was the thing. Was it actually? I remember that. Okay. I don't remember that. I just feel like Ultra is such a new thing that Apple's been doing and I don't think it's been around for that long. That is also correct. Also correct. Correct logic. I, yeah. And move on to what I think is going to be our final segment in round two. We've got a third one that we might use as backup, but I think I like this as rounding it out.

And this segment is called Fun with Founders. Fun with Founders. I'm going to read you the name of someone, and you're going to tell me what tech company they founded. Now, keep in mind, guys, we associate lots of these tech companies with singular founders. Some of these people may have been co-founders to tech companies you know and love. So just keep that in mind. Here's an example. I say Anton Phillips, and you would say Phillips Electronics.

None of the companies are that out of left field, but that seemed like a cute one to use as the example. Shout out to Phillips. All right. So question number one, the founder is Chad Hurley. The company is... Wow, Marques is quick. What is this? Oh, man. I mean, if I... I just take it, you know, if Marques got it in three seconds, that means the company is... Yeah, you should probably...

Yeah, that's a me riding fast is a hint. It's the Hurley clothing company, right? Yeah. All right. Flip them around. Oh, no. I was like, very secret co-founder I've never heard of. It's YouTube, guys. Read them out. Read them out. I said YouTube.

Andrew said Motorola. I'm too embarrassed. And David said Apple. For some reason, you seem to know a lot of stuff about Motorola. So when you went off the top, I was like, this sounds like something our guys might know. Interesting. No, that's a YouTube guy. It is indeed. All right. Founder number two, Li Byung-chol. Li Byung-chol. Got two out of three boards down. Well, you guys already wrote this?

I mean, this is a long one. I'll just tell you this is a shot in the dark for me. I can just tell you all of these will be a shot in the dark for me. Not when we get to Taco Bell. All right. Unfortunately, I don't know. It's not on the list either. I said Samsung. Oh. Oh, man. I said LG, so obviously wrong. I said Alibaba.

But maybe that's too out of left field. Unfortunately, Alibaba was founded by Jack Ma. I know that. Oh, right. I thought he was maybe a secret co-founder situation. Cool. All right. Next one. Dang. Next one. Here we go. Marques is slaying. Ronald Wayne. Ronald Wayne. So Batman. Batman's like uncle. Ronald Wayne.

Wayne tech company it's gotta be tech company any company ever Ronald Wayne God I love this music so much. Yeah, we should use this for every Ellis I didn't want it to be too much every question Yeah, all right. I got mine. I got my guess I said Polaroid Polaroid is Incorrect. I said Motorola again Motorola is

I said Qualcomm. Qualcomm is incorrect. I'm sorry. The correct answer is Apple computers. Don't you do this to me. Yeah, he was the third guy. This whole time. Oh, I was wrong. Okay. This whole time I was trying to remember. This is embarrassing.

I was like, there's two Steves. So when it's not Steve Wozniak and it's another Steve, I'm going to remember it. But it's Steve Jobs. I'm thinking so hard about the other Steve. I did not know it was Ronald Wayne. OK, shout out to Ronald Wayne. Shout out to Ronald Wayne, indeed. All right, we're going to do one more of these, and I think we'll throw it back to ad break. This is a hard one. This is a hard one. I hope it's not a rule.

Just keep throwing it out there. Just start writing it right now. Here we go. You only hit the shots you take. All right. This one is Paul Galvin and his brother, Joseph Galvin. The Galvin brothers. Galvin Newsome. The Galviner of California. Okay. Tick tock, guys. I'm ready. I'm going to get this wrong, but I'm ready.

Oh, you wrote it? Yeah. I saw what you wrote, too. And I agree with you. Motorola is my guess. Are you kidding me? No!

David, what you got? IBM. Wait, I have a question. Did you look that up just when I said that? Yeah. Me on my computer was like, who founded Motorola? That's well played. I think that's kind of what I was like. I thought you already had it written. I did write it before we actually got the names. Nice. Oh, did you really? Dang.

And I was trying to think if I should erase it and guess a different one or not, and I couldn't come up with anyone else. So yeah, shout out to the Galvin brothers. So yeah, with that, let's take it back to ads. Be right back. Sponsored by Motorola.

Not for free. You have to show you pressing the button because it's a thousand times better seeing you just doing this as it's flashing. Yeah. Also, I can't remember if I told you this the other day, but this rainbow effect is just me running the raw data of the Insta360 video through the lights.

Like the light is thinking of itself as a 1x48 pixel display just playing as much as it can the Insta360 video. Is it averaging rows? It's playing a little fast and I believe it's horizontal. It's like it's a horizontal row of pixels. So that red blotch is you, Marques, walking across the frame. Okay.

Sick. That's awesome. Dope. All right. Let's leave that in. That should be in the MoMA. Yes. That's amazing. All right. Be right back.

- All right, welcome back to the third and final segment, the final round of trivia in our season two trivia finale extravaganza. I think we should get a score update, so I'm gonna throw it back to our hosts for this evening. - Of course the guy winning wants to know the score. - You know, I'm just curious where we stand.

All right. So in this trivia extravaganza, we have Marquez with 29, Andrew with 24, and David with 18. It's not that bad. I'm feeling pretty good. That's my age, you know. 18? I'm feeling pretty good. No, I'm 18. My points match my age. I'm 12. I'm 12.

All right, final section. All right, so this round, round three, has three segments, and each one of them is going to be kind of frustrating in its own unique way. Nice. We're going to kick off the third segment, or excuse me, third round with our audio segment.

So in this audio segment, I'm going to play you the sound, specifically the startup sound of either a famous operating system or a famous platform. It's like a hurdle. I love hurdles so much. Yes. So an example would be if I played this.

You could just say that is the Sega startup sound. I don't need Dreamcast or Arcade Cabinet or anything like that. I'm not going to play you anything that it won't be...

immediately obvious where this came from. And we write these down on our whiteboards. You were going to write this down on your whiteboards. Got it. Okay. All right. I have a feeling there's some retro ones coming. There's some retro ones. There's some new ones. He also said this is going to be frustrating. This one we found to be frustrating when we were testing it because every now and then there's one that you know just so well and you just can't put your finger on it. This is the least frustrating of the frustrating segment. Okay. Okay. Great.

All right. So let's start off with something a little bit easier, shall we? Give me the Mac bong. Do you want the version? Yes. Okay. For something like this, I need the exact OS. Cool. Got it. It's my sound dumb, but wasn't that the power off? No. No, there's a different power down. It's different? Yeah.

i remember because i had restarted that thing you got it yep all right here's my board windows xp baby oh i thought we just had to write i'll give you that one andrew because first question you know whatever but yes that was the windows xp startup sound the shutdown sound was this just for the record yes yeah right logging oh wait but in the future like

do I have to write XP or stuff like that? You do. We have multiple. I thought you said we don't have to do that. I think I specifically said we did. Yeah. But again, it's the first round. You said it's the Sega, but you don't have to say like Dreamcast or stuff like that. Right after when I got the sound, I said, do you want the version? Oh,

I didn't hear you say that. Oh, OK. Sorry. So we do have versions. We're giving you the point either way. OK. I also got it right. Well played. There you go. I just needed you guys to know that. I need the checkbox animation. I need your validation. All right. Let's go back in time just a little bit. That's a good hint.

This is more of like a... Forget I said that. I can't remember if this is at the same exact time or if it's slightly after. And someone on Twitter will light me up for this. Anyway, here's the sound. Marques is starting to feel the frustration. Okay, yeah. I'm going with it. Alright, let's do it. Oh no. All different ones. I think you're right, Andrew. I never played that, so I don't know. I said the Xbox One.

But it said Xbox 360. I think that's right, yeah. Oh, wow. I did the PSP because I only had a PS2, but I thought it was a very similar sound to that. I pictured the Xbox logo when I heard that last bit of the sound. I couldn't remember which one. The last bit's the only part that I very specifically remember. Yeah, same. It was like whoosh, whoosh.

Right? Like, are those the Xs coming in? Yeah. Probably. I never had an Xbox, so that's kind of right. I needed it. When you put that, I was like, shoot, I didn't have a PSP. Well, I'll tell you now, that is the only Xbox sound on our list. Okay. Thanks. That's good. I didn't have any other Xs. All right. On to the next one.

I just realized now that whoever filmed their TV for this one, there's like a leaky faucet in the background. Oh, that's not what I heard. I thought that was part of it. Maybe we should use this one then.

That's so funny. Dude, fix your pipes. That was, we're going to skip that one. I don't like that there's extra sounds in it. That was the startup sound for the YouTube app on most streaming TVs. Like if you have an Android TV or a Roku. Really? It's always muted. I've never heard that sound in my life. Really? Yeah.

Maybe it's just Android TV. Wait, that also means it's... I only use Chromecast stuff, so I never... That's what it is on Chromecast. What? Yeah, I watch it on Chromecast all the time. I've never heard that. When I turn on my Android TV, that's what I get. All right, on to the next one. Ready? All right. Oh. Oh. Feel the frustration.

You want a model number? You want a model number for this? Wait, do we really have to have the model number? No. No? No. That would be insane. All right, I'm fine with my answer then. Also, I don't know the exact model number. I'm pretty sure I'm wrong. I'll take an OEM.

I will also take you'll take an OEM and I'll also take an OS can I so I'm not I'm not penalized for extra No, okay. No, no. No. Okay. Yeah, wait, I wouldn't be penalized for extra. Not at all. Okay I want to see if David and I have the same amount of extra. Yeah, I definitely don't have the extra. Okay. Okay ready?

Oh. Nice. I said Samsung Galaxy S. I also said Samsung Galaxy S. I said LG smartphone. That is correct. The extra that I was hoping someone would get is that that is the Samsung startup phone for all devices running Jelly Bean. Oh, wow.

For all Samsung devices? Yeah, excuse me, for all Samsung devices. A bunch of early ones. My Galaxy S3 made that sound. And also, every time you would get a text, the default notification noise was that. And they still to this day use that chime sequence. Yeah, oh, all their events are just an orchestra playing that over and over again. It's kind of alarming that they haven't changed it.

All right. It's a nice sound. It's a nice sound. It's pretty good. I'm going to do one more of these, I think, and then we can move on to the next round. Do you want to do two more? How are we feeling? Two more. Two more? I like this a lot. We like the audio? I really like it. I got tons.

Wow. Okay, let's keep going. Turtle. I dig it. Just a quick check-in, though. Marquez is currently steaming away from the competition with 31 points. Oh, my God. David's rounding out the back with 20 points, and Andrew has 26 points right in the middle. Right in the middle. Okay. All right. Why don't we do this one next? Can you play that one more time? I most certainly can.

I can feel that animation in my body. It's blue, isn't it? It's blue. I feel like it's rainbow-y. That's a personal question. Can you play it one more time? I just want to feel it again. Oh, it's such a nice sound. It had a little bit of Skype opening at the end. I love the watery... The bloop from Skype, but it wasn't Skype. It feels so good in my stomach.

20 seconds countdown. Andrew played the clock card. I don't have an answer. I don't think I'm right, but... Andrew just wanted to hear this music again. Exactly. It doesn't sound that far off from what... I just guessed. I picked a blue one. I think we picked the same thing. Really? I'm going to be wrong. I don't know what to put, so whatever. Go for it. PlayStation. I put PlayStation 5. I put PlayStation 1.

PlayStation 5? What is it? Because I put PlayStation. The answer, that was the Windows 10 startup sound. Oh, really? Windows 10. Really? That ending chime had a very PlayStation sound to it. Mark has, when you were like, it sounds so much like Skype, but it isn't Skype. I was like, it's the company that owns Skype. Yeah, wow. You know what's funny is I feel like when we were kids and we had all those desktop computers that had Windows 2000 on it, or an NXP, like we had those...

like bookshelf speakers we always heard the startup sound yeah but now we just now we mostly keep things on mute and also startups are so much faster now yeah like I don't pay attention to it yeah instant wake my phone's startup sound in at least five years like when I restart my MacBook like I never restart my MacBook

So when I do and it makes the old Apple sound, it's like, bong, the bong. There's also a good point that we have phones now, so I'm looking at my phone when my computer's starting up. Or I'm distracted when my computer starts. And it's a shame because there are so many epic startup sounds, like this one right here that I'm about to play. Yeah.

Oh, I know this one. Yes. Yes. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. Okay. I didn't hear most of that. Sorry. You can do it again. Sorry. All right. I'm a god. Thank goodness. I'm going to toss an audible here. This one's worth five points. David, do you agree with that? Yes. That last sound is also part of it. Yeah.

Let's see if that gives it away. That changes everything. Oh, God. Oh. This game is fun. I like this game. I just need to hear the ending again. David loves the game with the extra five points. I'm sorry. I need to hear the ending one more time. I need to hear that sound again. One more time, I'll get it. Last time, I promise. I got to go. Yeah. I don't know.

That's rough. I have to know I'm so frustrated by this one. Did you write stuff? I think I do. Yeah, I already wrote it. All right. Yeah. All right. Let's see the boards. PlayStation. Oh man. I game. Is that PlayStation? I don't remember which one. PlayStation doesn't. Yeah. That's gotta be it. You have to have the model. PlayStation 1. PlayStation 1. The first one. No. Andrew. GameCube. And honestly,

I remember the GameCube. Before we even get to David's correct answer, how could you forget this? I don't know, PlayStation 2? Yeah, that's GameCube. Oh. I don't have either of them. Welcome to Nintendo. That's a classic. Classic.

And then I put... PlayStation 2, the correct answer! Yeah, the only non-Nintendo console I've ever owned was a PlayStation 2. Congrats on the five points. I feel like everyone had a PlayStation 2. No, you either went, I got the Xbox One, right? You can see the route I went in that scenario, yeah. And the only game I owned on PlayStation 2 was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. What? For PlayStation 1. So I didn't get to save it. All right, we got two more sounds and then we're moving on. Wow. You give me the five points.

Did you? Sweet. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's huge for his. You're at, like, Andrew's score now. Huge for his. Here we go. Huge for second place. Second to last sound is. Oh, I've heard that many times in my life. That is so epic. Can we just take a second to appreciate how awesome that is? Yeah. I've heard that many times, man. Wow. I know that one. I know that one. I know that one. Okay, one more time. I have no clue what this one is. Wow. I've heard that a lot.

Also, I just want to say shout out to Adam. When we started designing this episode of the podcast like a bunch of weeks ago, I mentioned doing an audio round and then never was able to come up with anything that we could do for it. And then in about 15 seconds, Adam was like, oh, we should do startup sounds. Do we want to hear it one more time? Yeah. Oh, sorry. My computer really wants to play Windows Vista. I love that one. Yeah.

God, I feel like I know this. I definitely have heard this. I'm going to be so mad if this is wrong. I am probably wrong, but I for sure have heard this a lot. You're right about this being maddening. Just wait until we get to the next segment. Oh, my God. Gosh, I really don't know. I'm kind of taking a guess. I'm also just trying to think of what has startup sounds. Yeah. Like... Pretty much everything prior to 2014. It's like...

Computer OS, Phone OS, Game Console. That's pretty much where we're at. I'll give you a hint. It's not a phone. I'm wrong for this, but that's okay. Ready? Flip them! So I put Windows 2000. That was already one of the answers. No, XP was. I did Windows 95. Andrew put Windows 95, which is the correct answer. I just assumed it was longer, therefore must be older. Yeah.

Yeah, I'm surprised. I don't know. That was my points too, right? I think my dad had a Windows 95 computer and I heard that thing. I did start on 95. I started on 95 as well. That's good. That is good. But XP was like the first main. I grew up on XP. Yeah, I think we all probably. I know everything after XP other than Windows 10. Well, because also after XP sucked. So then you stayed on it forever.

Can I just admit, when I had Windows XP and I saw how cool Windows Vista Aero looked, I downloaded a Windows Vista skin for my XP computer. So it had the Vista startup sound, the Vista Aero, but it was XP. That's better than Vista. That's like better than Vista. It's pretty good. It's pretty good. All right, so for our last startup sound, I think this one is my personal favorite. And I'll leave it at...

Oh, I can envision this in my head. Do it one more time. That one is so long. Can you do it one more time? Wow.

I feel confident, but I'm going to be sad when I'm home. I just want to say there are people driving in their car right now screaming at you guys. Oh, this entire episode, but this one the most. That had like a pixelated sound. I want everyone to comment at us if they've actually gotten all of these right. And for real, no lying. I'm sure there are people who are like, these are the easiest things in the world. God, I feel so wistful. I feel like I remember...

Feeling that in my gut with the gutter of my stomach when I was like 11, you know what I mean? Yeah. Oh my goodness. Sounds like you know what it is. I don't. I almost flipped them boards. Literally no idea. I'm going to get it wrong. So whatever. I'll just say no answer. Let's go. Just no answer. You don't want to guess. Yeah.

David is putting no answer. Marques has the Sega Dreamcast. That is incorrect. I have PlayStation 1. That is correct. The ending of it just, to me, feels like it's going to go straight into Tomb Raider. Wow. That's awesome. The power of music. Oh, wow. I totally forgot. That does really bring back. Oh, man. Sorry. I'm going to listen to that on the car. Is there one more?

is that what you're saying no no i was gonna suggest that would be worth three points but why didn't you guys do any nintendo ones i had a gamecube one in there yeah yeah but we didn't use it yeah i just wow what about that those are the only consoles that we can do this all day there's a lot of good ones yeah yeah this segment

Brings us to the second part of the infuriating round. This one is going to be moderately infuriating. It's like a mild on the Scoville scale. The Scoville infuriatingness scale. Mild. So I call this startup world. I hate it already. These are all real startup companies. I didn't make up a single one of them. God.

I'm going to say the name of the startup company along with what they do. Yeah. And you need to figure out how they spell it. Oh, no. Oh, okay. Good luck. It's going to be a lot of X's. Here we go. This one, let's just get into it. Yep.

All right. For our lovely audio listeners, when you flip your boards around, could you please read out the spelling that you have decided on? This is a platform for users to take inventory of their belongings. I have no idea what that means. That is just the company's byline. This company is called BOT. That's too many letters. I don't know if this would even pronounce it like that. All right. We ready for a flip? Yeah. Let's do it.

Andrew and I both said B-A-U-T. Didn't think so. I said B-O-U-G-T.

Unfortunately, bot spells their company B-A-W-T-E. What? Cool, cool, cool, cool. Bowel. Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. I hate everything. Cool, cool. All right. This next one, this next company is a software development company specializing in supply chain technology. They are called Grid. Apple. Oh. Grid. How does Grid spell their company name?

How is there any other way to spell grid? These are startups, David. Some of them might be established companies and might be mad that I'm calling them startups. Too late. Yeah, they should have figured that out. I don't know who they are. They're a startup. All right, let's flip them boards. I think David's right. I said G-R-I-D-D. I did too. I said G-R-I-I-D-D.

You guys had the right idea. It was G-R-Y-D-D. D-D? Why do you need two Ds? You get one fancy change. You don't get two fancy changes. Why'd you do that? All right, here we go. This next one is an add-on email analytics service, and they are called Zobny. Zobny, an add-on email analytics service called Zobny. Whenever you guys are ready.

Flip them around. Do we all go this way? Nope. Marcus did not spell that one. Z-O-B-N-E. David and I both had Z-O-B-N-Y.

Unfortunately, Zobny is spelled X-O-B-N-I. It is the word inbox spelled backwards. Oh. That is... That's dumb. No, it is not. It's made the most sense... Oh, wait. No, it is dumb. Sorry. I thought you were about to say something nice. It's made the most sense of any of the ones that I've heard so far. The thing is, when you have to explain something... That's the funniest way. Oh.

That's how all great comedians start also. Oh my gosh. This is the best list. I thought you said this was the mild questions. Oh no. This is the mildly infuriating section. Great. All right. The next one we're going with. Got so many good ones to choose from. This is great. People. People is a fuse network powered...

God, that is like such a hard sentence to read. And I copied it straight from the website. Fuse network powered innovative payments and rewards technology. People. I'm ready. I feel like you just got to spell these things like you're talking to your dog online. Like a two-year-old. Like a two-year-old would write people. The doggo saw all the people. All right. Let's flip them around, boys. How do you know people? All right. All right.

All right, Marques, what'd you write?

I wrote P-E-P-U-L. People. I did P-E-E-P-L. P-E-E-P-L. Really? I felt pretty good. David, what do you have? P-I-P-O-L. I almost did P-E-E-P-O-L-L, but then I was like, people? People. That is how you talk to your dog, because your dog finds the people.

All right, here we go. The next one is a platform for those struggling with depression. I don't know what that means, but the platform is called Nudge. Okay. That's one way of spelling it. No, that's too easy. That's more like it. Would you add like an umlaut to it? Yeah, it was bad. Ready? I wrote N-U-D-J, as did I. I just spelled it correctly. Okay.

I erased N-U-D-G and wrote N-U-D-J. Unfortunately, this one is spelled N-U-D-D-G-E. God damn it. Stop. Stop adding double Ds to everything. All right, we got a few more. This one is my personal favorite. This company is pronounced 5-O-C. 5-O-C. How do they spell 5-O-C? Like with letters? Or numbers? 5-O-C. For this one, to be kind...

Will accept zeros and O's as interchangeable because it is not clear from what I'm saying because they pronounce it 50 C It's not clear if that's the letter O or the number zero, but I need the spelling of 50 C Can you use letters and the spelling you mean numbers? You can If you would like you can use numbers in the spell if you would like 50 C Oh, excuse me, and this is a social marketplace and

I really don't care. All right. This is wrong. Flip it around. Marques? Oh, that's a good one. I wrote 5-O-S-E-E. Sorry? I spelled 5-O-S-E-E. Unfortunately, no. Just did 5-O-C. Unfortunately, 5-O-C is spelled O-O-O-O-O-C. Okay.

I hate it so much. I hate it. Dude, those guys over there, they really need to stop microdosing so much. Like, this is a problem. This is becoming a problem. Oh my god. When I found that one, I was like, ook? There's a company called ook? And then I found it was called Pios, and I was like, oh, this has to go in there. Oh my god. That's brutal. Alright, last one. This company...

This company is a data analytics platform and they're called Hadoop. Oh, yeah. Hadoop. Oh, you've used this in a previous trivia question. No, they weren't one of my... How many were? That one time you made up the fake ones? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've written H-A-D-O-O-P. I did H-A-D-U-P. I also did H-A-D-O-O-P. Oh! Rekes and David have gotten it. Complete surprise.

The most reasonable, you know what I started with? Hold on, let me show you what I started with. That's what I started with. I can't even do that. H-A giant smiley face P. But it's a new...

It looks like a dupe, doesn't it? Yeah. Sure. I don't know. You should read his other logo. Yeah. Yeah, that'll be five bucks. All right, so now we're on to segment three of round three, the final segment. Quick recap. Marquez is still in the lead with 32. Andrew has 29. And David has 26.

So it's close. Is scoring any different this round? Scoring is different this round. I'm glad you asked. So there's a twist for these questions. They are office questions.

So eagle-eyed viewers of the studio channel might be able to answer some of these as well. But they're questions about the studio. Wow. But the twist is nothing happens if you get it right. But if you get it wrong, you lose a point. Okay. Yikes. Do you have to answer? You have to answer. Okay. Good question. Good question. Okay. I love this. Yeah. All right. First question of the office round is...

Who in the office has a birthday on July 1st? This is going to be rough if it's Adam or Ellis. Or it could be David and he's just doing a really good job of pretending it's not him. That would be the craziest poker face of all time. July 1st. I'm thinking extra hard like it's going to suddenly come to me. I'm not going to figure it out. I'm just going to guess. Wait.

But in the office? It's an employee of the office, and I'll narrow it down. All of the questions in here that have to do with studio members are people that we're allowed to talk about as working here. I think I know what David's trying to ask, if they're a remote worker or not. Yeah. These are people. These are office questions. They're just employees. They are limited to the confines of our building. Limited to the confines. Thank you. Michael is ineligible as an answer to any of these questions. Thank you, Andrew. I appreciate it. All right.

Are we ready? I think I'm wrong. Do we want to flip? For some reason, I think. I have no clue. Wait. Three, two, one. We all guessed different people. Okay. I guessed Mariah. I guessed Adam. I guessed Hayato.

Well, July 1st is my birthday. Way to go. Sorry, Ellis. Wow. Adams was more recent. I know that Brandon's birthday is in December. That's all I know. All right, when's my birthday, Ellis?

i asked the question all right so we all have minus one all minus one so marquez has 31 andrew has 29 david has 20. how many questions are there in this round as many as we want okay yeah okay next question the posters above michael's desk have never moved is the daft punk poster on the right or on the left

If you watch the studio tour. That's not in the studio. Yes. What do you mean? Oh, no, no, no. This is like temporary desk. Yeah, Michael's temporary desk by the table. Oh. Yeah. You don't have to tell him which one it is. Gotcha. Okay, I got that. I think Marcus should get this wrong because he didn't even know Michael's temporary desk in the office. No, I just started picturing Michael's desk and I was like, that's...

Very discreet information. But no, in the studio. On Michael's bedside table. All right. Here we go. Flip them. We all put left. Please. Thank God. We're all right. All of your points are safe. Thank goodness. All right. Name every non-iPhone user in the office. And David, you don't count right now. Okay. What if he used both? Marquez uses both too.

We talked about that. And I, we both use, but I am an iPhone user. If I use both Marquez, we included Marquez in our list of answers, but we decided that if he was left off of the list, that would not be a deduction. Okay. So non iPhone user. Yeah. Why don't we just exclude Marquez? So you don't mean user of non iPhone. You mean not a user of an iPhone. We all have daily drivers. I need you to list everyone who is not daily driving an iPhone right now. Okay. Okay. Got it.

And that excludes me and Marquez because we use both that's what you're saying sure I excluded you because you daily drive an iPhone right now Then why did you exclude me because you are an iPhone user, but there are other iPhone users This is for everyone who doesn't daily drive This is complex for my brain, all right, I'm going around everyone's desks you yep Oh and for everyone you miss you will lose a point. Okay, I

So if you just name everyone in the studio, you won't lose any points. Oh. No, if you say someone uses an Android that uses an iPhone, they will also take a point. I'm ruthless with the point taking. All right, I've got my list. Here we go. Wait, but Jono doesn't count, right? Yeah, I'll pretend Michael and Jono aren't on the board, just because when I wrote the question, we couldn't talk about Jono. Mariah is correct. Jono, I don't know about. Andrew is correct.

Marquez is correct. But Marquez, you forgot one person. I thought you said you didn't have to say Marquez. You didn't have to say Marquez, but you know, it's not wrong. But Marquez did forget one person and that's Adam. So Marquez, you are losing a point. You are now down to 31 points. I'm just trying to get to my age again. Andrew, what'd you got? I got all of them. Sweet. All right. I got all of them too.

All right. You were right about that, by the way. Thank you. Yes. Very nice. I wrote it and I was like, I was like, ha ha, he is in the studio. Oh, wait. Yeah. Next question. Looking at it from the top down, is the sandal in between Marquez and Andrew's desk spinning clockwise or counterclockwise? If you're looking at it from the top down. Damn, this is kind of hard. Also,

I don't know. I've been checking it every day for weeks. It doesn't change direction. Did you check it before the last time the power went out? When did the power last go out? I have no idea. Was it when we did the solar panel thing? I don't know. I don't know the answer. If it has a specific thing or if it's just based on the original momentum it gains. I think it...

It's been spinning the same direction for a long time. Okay. I'm so tripped up now. Yeah. I just pictured the correct answer and then like pictured the other one and it looked normal to me. That's exactly what I did in my head. Yeah. I mean, I have what I remember. Yanny or Laurel. And again, this is if you're staring, your feet are on the carpet, you're facing the little like table that it's on and you're facing the wall and you're looking straight down the Y axis. Yeah. This is hurting my brain.

I don't know the answer. All right. I think I know. I just wrote. I wrote clockwise. I thought it was clockwise, but I put counterclockwise. Wait, how did it go? Yeah, baby. Counterclockwise. Counterclockwise? Dang it. So Marquez and Andrew, you lose a point each. My goodness. How unfortunate. Would you look at that? I'm not going to test that.

Yeah, I want to go check after this. I don't believe, I believe that's what it's doing. I wonder if it could do something else. All right, next question. Marques, Andrew, in between your desk is an LTT store banana. What color is the banana between your desk? This has also been there for weeks. Wait, but I'm not even near their desk. Yeah, but it's a bright blank banana sitting on their desk or sitting between their desks. I said purple. Poop.

I said you're right. I said yellow. Like blue? Marquez and Andrew are wrong. Okay. It's purple? But David is right. Oh. Purple. I thought it was the one that I had on my desk for a long time. I don't even know if that's still there. Oh, I don't know. I had one on top of my computer for a long time, and I thought I just threw it over there. Oh. What color was that? Yellow. It was yellow. Yeah. I called it magenta in my notes, but I'll accept purple. All right.

Shout out to David. Okay. Next question. We're just plummeting slowly. Update on the score. Marquez, 29. Andrew, 27. David, 26. That's where I want to be. I'm still so far behind. With these one-pointers, it's going to take me a long time. Yeah, well, we still got questions. The swings are bigger if two people... The last two questions, two people have lost and you've stayed the same. Yeah.

So they're just working their way down to you. All right, coming down to my level. All right. Next question. We have exactly one colored M1 iMac in the studio. What color is it? I should get fastest answer credit for this one. I should. I'm just saying. I should. All right. We got it. Flip. It's the blue one. Blue, blue, blue, blue. We all got that one. I should have made the lights go blue for that. There they are. Very nice. I'm glad you all know that one.

All right. We have a main gear PC in our gaming room. Sure do. What brand is the PC case? I don't know why I'm doing it so fast. It's not extra points. All right. Ready? Oh, yeah. I just want to say when I dreamt up this. So this section I came up with with Vin and Brandon and we were all scheming together like, oh, this is going to drive them nuts. I love this one. But there's a lot less infuriation than I expected. Anyway, flip them boards. HP. HP. There it is.

HP Omen. Oh. It's from HP. Yeah, HP Omen is that way. I actually didn't put Omen because you just said. Can you tell I'm not a gamer? HP Omen. Sorry, everybody. HP Omen. That was a hard question. Okay. This one. What color is the cube holding the plants by Mia?

Cube holding the plants? Yep. There's a cube by Mia, the robot, holding plants. Cube like... What color is it? Like on top of the cube, there's some plants. Like a D-Brain cube? No, it's like a big... It's a cube. It's a cube. And then there's just plants on the cube. What color is the cube?

I bought the cube in 2000 and-- It's been here since I started. Wow, really? It's literally like the third thing I ever bought. I have a fun fact about the cube that you guys might know. I have an answer. Ready? What is this answer? Gold? Orange.

Orange. I would argue that orange and gold are the same color. It's not gold. It's pretty orange. Is the cube not a planter itself? It is a planter. If you flip it on one side, there's a divot underneath it, actually. Oh, I did not know that. It was very confusing when I first picked it up, and I was like, why are my hands going inside of the cube? Yeah. Not a perfect cube. I can't even envision this thing in my head. Yeah. When you go out and see it, it's an orange cube. Hmm.

All right. We only have a handful of these office questions left. I like these because I used to memorize the entire studio. I love office questions. What? Really? Oh, wait. Actually, I lied. You just think about it in your head and be like, this is here, this is here. It's just all I have in my life. So you have us. Yeah. All right. So this is the last question before we announce the winner of Trivia Live.

So I can't get this wrong. You said there was plenty of opportunity for me to catch up. Well, we're at an hour and a half, Nathan. It also got very close. We're at an hour and a half and you blew all your opportunities. I'm just kidding. That was mean. We were within two. We were within two, right? No. Maybe. I'm not going to read the scores right now because then everyone will know. All right. So. That's close enough. Make this one minus two. All right. Yeah, we'll make this one worth two. No, make it three because I'm three behind. Okay, we'll make it three. Yes.

We have four. No, yeah, make it four so that I can pass it, Drew. Guys, it's a slippery slope, man. All right, so we have a beautiful top-down set. It's one of the crown jewels of the studio. We use a bunch of de-branded metal plates as backdrops for those scenes. 48 by 36. What? Are you going to say how many are there? What color...

And I'll also accept pattern, texture, however you want to describe the table that is the top-down set. Like underneath it? Yeah, the natural table. The natural? I can tell you all about that desk. Yeah, I did. No, you had that desk put together already before I started. I believe we made it. It's the first one I ever bought. Yeah. Ready? Flip it around.

We're all right. You're all right. You're all right. You're all right. It's a two-legged X-Desk Pro. It has a Froknowsphoto blanket covering from the metal edges. It does. It also has a double-decker top and then a second underneath it for your keyboard. I just realized they've been talking to someone outside the door the whole time, so...

Our final scores. David with 25 points in third. Andrew with 28 points in second. And our winner of Trivia Season 2, Marques Brownlee! Woo!

Yes! Wow. He wins the Season 2 Cholula bottle, which will not actually be his and remain in our studio kitchen. I knew this was in the studio. Thank you for the wonderful studio team who came in for the applause. Thank you. Thank you. None of them can hear the music that's playing right now. That's hilarious because this is a moment for me. How much percent of my diet is Cholula? Marques, what do you have to say? I just want to thank... I just want to thank... There they are, the studio team.

I want to thank my mom and dad for giving me eyes so I could see all the things that I remembered in the studio. And that's it for this. Yeah, that's it. That's the speech. All right. Well. We did it. Thank you for coming to the Waveform Trivia Extravaganza. We will be back next week for more shenanigans. That's that out. Yep. Sorry. Okay. Peace out, everybody. Bye.
