Quiz Introduction: UK Pub Names
00:01:50
Todd
So, however, we, so this is episode on a time week and, yes, I did not prepare anything. Duane, you did not prepare anything. Uh, however, Lisa did prepare something for us. Now, for those, those who haven't been, listened to every single episode, uh, Lisa, what, whether, what other quizzes have you brought for us before?
00:02:10
Lisa
I think we did a Cockney rhyming slang.
00:02:14
Talkin2Todd
Yep.
00:02:15
Lisa
And did we do another one? be Oh, and phrases, right?
00:02:17
Talkin2Todd
we did We did one about English phrases and what are what are pants and what are trousers because those are two different things.
00:02:20
Lisa
English phrases.
00:02:24
Lisa
Yes. Different things, yes. And then I think leading into the phrases, we all decided that that's pants was maybe one of our favorite phrases.
00:02:37
Lisa
So, yeah.
00:02:38
Todd
So with that in mind, so with that, to to continue on to the trilogy, what did you bring for us tonight?..................
00:02:38
Lisa
Yeah.
00:02:43
Lisa
So tonight I brought UK, so not just England, UK pub names. And we're going to go through this list of names and I'm going to have you tell me, is this a real name?
00:02:57
Lisa
Or is this a name you made up, Lisa? Or is this an absolute pub you could go to?
00:03:03
Talkin2Todd
Or is this a Bed Bath & Beyond candle scent?
00:03:06
Lisa
Yes, yes. So so I have a few, I I have more than a few, we can skip some, but I thought this may go fairly quick. So I have a good list here and that that's the theme.
00:03:17
Todd
All right.
00:03:19
Talkin2Todd
Excellent.
00:03:19
Todd
All right.
00:03:20
Lisa
right.
00:03:20
Todd
And just to be clear, Lisa did say, she did at one point say, oh, I've got an idea for the next quiz. And I believe I said, what is it? and she said, English pub names.
00:03:31
Todd
And I said, oh, that's going to be difficult. And she goes, I know. And then we haven't talked about it since. So I was aware of the theme, but I am not aware of anything other than that.
00:03:37
Lisa
That is true.
00:03:42
Todd
So, I think we'll just we'll go back and forth. And basically, the answer is that is an actual pub or that's a made up name.
00:03:53
Todd
OK.
00:03:54
Lisa
Okay.
00:03:54
Talkin2Todd
so So in preparation for this, did you just go to Claude and said, give me a list of English pub names, knowing that some of what it would give you would be real and some of it would be totally made up?
00:04:08
Todd
you missed You missed one step.
00:04:10
Talkin2Todd
Yes.
00:04:11
Todd
give me Claude, give me a list of English pub names. Don't make any of them up and don't lie. Boom. 50% are going to be made up in a lie.
00:04:22
Todd
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. I was bad.
00:04:26
Lisa
well Well, funny enough, Todd told me, you know, you could use AI for this. And I'm like, no, I can also use my brain for this.
00:04:34
Lisa
So no, I did not go to Claw or any of the others. and And I've been thinking about this for a while. So I've had the list. I've had this list for a little while. so So hopefully you'll find this.
00:04:42
Talkin2Todd
Excellent. Excellent. Love it
00:04:45
Lisa
And a couple of these might be not

00:05:15
Todd
Yes. So well if I switch them, but wait, but if I think that you thought that I thought that I would do that, then I would switch them back.

00:11:05
Todd
like There's like 700 of those called the swan. But the swan and the tomato... I mean, it's interesting.
00:11:15
Todd
Okay. So it's obviously it's, it's the thing and the other thing. And as we learned earlier, it with the goat and the tricycle, if it was like the swan in the moped, I would say yes, because, uh, animal and form of transportation, they can't operate. swan and tomato that,
00:11:36
Todd
You know what? I think that sounds more like a place where you get like one of those, like you get a green, you get like the green health drink. You don't get a beer at the Swan and Tomato. So I'm going to say false.

00:18:14
Talkin2Todd
is is does Is the tour going to go right by the front door of this one?
00:18:20
Lisa
no because this is up like a uh it's up this little tiny road that gives Todd heart palpitations every time we drive up it but pretty close so
00:18:30
Todd
But the tour is going to go within 15 miles, maybe 10 miles of the Drunken Duck.

Lisa
Sunday roast there is amazing.
00:20:00

00:20:04
Talkin2Todd
Yeah.
00:20:06
Talkin2Todd
There's a lot of squabbling going on.
00:20:09
Lisa
Oh, squibbling, squibbling.
00:20:14
Lisa
Alrighty. Todd, the camel and artichoke.
00:20:21
Todd
Here's thing. If that's one, if that really, the camel, fine. It's throw an artichoke. That's like, that's some hipster dude with a beard that just opened that up like six months ago. Like, there's no way that that was, I say this, i so here's the thing. I am confident there is no way that this thing has been around for like 50 years. And then, and then, nope, found it in 1620. Like, dang it. But I'm going to say not a pub.
00:20:50
Lisa
is a pub from the very disappointed in himself.
00:20:55
Talkin2Todd
Again, Todd, animal mode of transportation.
00:20:59
Todd

00:21:00
Talkin2Todd

00:21:01
Talkin2Todd
No, the animal is the mode of transportation. it's That's a trick question.
00:21:01
Todd
Artichoke?
00:21:11
Lisa
Look. Aw. Todd. Sad.
00:21:15
Talkin2Todd
I missed and he had a chance to catch back up on and and couldn't take advantage.
00:21:20
Todd
i'm just I'm just disappointed that somebody's like, you know what sounds like a good name for a pub? Artichoke. Anyway. Okay. Yep. Cool.
00:21:28
Lisa
All right. Dwayne, the gasping headache.
00:21:30
Talkin2Todd
Yes.
00:21:35
Talkin2Todd
Okay, I think this one is made up.
00:21:38
Lisa
It is made up.
00:21:39
Talkin2Todd
Hey!
00:21:43
Lisa
Well done. Let's see. Nothing to say, Todd? You usually have something to say, so I was pausing to let you talk.
00:21:55
Todd
Nothing nothing that was that needs to be said in polite company, so I'm just going to be quiet.
00:22:02
Lisa
Alrighty, Todd.
00:22:04
Todd

Lisa
is a pub and and i read the explanation for the name earlier and and can't remember it so i can't share it with you
00:22:38
Todd
I think here's the thing. i think most of them, the the way that the pub got its name was it was a pub first. They don't have a name. People are sitting around drinking. Can't come up with a name.
00:22:49
Todd
Continue drinking. Still don't have a name. Continue drinking. Name appears. yo Listen. Listen. listen li not listen's listen listen

Lisa
I love how you're trying to put some like logic behind these.
00:23:43
Talkin2Todd
The cat and the custard pot.
00:23:48
Talkin2Todd
It's just full of hair, invariably, if there's a cat.

Talkin2Todd
think it's a Bruce Springsteen song.
00:31:07
Todd
to To be honest, after I heard that, I'm like, that doesn't sound like a pub. However, if you would have said the shuttering goat, I think that would have been a lot more difficult to figure out.
00:31:17
Todd
I don't know, man.
00:31:20
Lisa
Alrighty, Todd.
00:31:21
Todd

00:31:33
Lisa
Not real.
00:31:34
Todd
Don't care. i have I have a vision now in my head of a hedgehog walking around with a crown.
00:31:38
Lisa
Little crown on it.
00:31:39
Todd
I'm a winner. Yeah. Like, hello.
00:31:42

maybe somebody should Maybe somebody should open a pub named the crowned hedgehog.
00:31:42
Todd
Coming to my pub. There
00:31:46
Lisa
I would go there.
00:31:48
Todd

Todd
By the way, what i'm not what I'm not clear on that one is i got John the Unicorn.
00:32:33
Todd
When you say help the struggler, what I'm trying to figure out is are you helping a struggler or is the dude's name help who's the struggler?
00:32:39
Lisa
The poor struggler.
00:32:41
Todd
Yeah, right. Yeah, like a comma would really clear a lot of stuff up there.
00:32:45
Lisa
Yeah, a couple of them are weird for sure. so so what's the score, Dwayne, before we go to Todd with this last one?
00:32:48
Talkin2Todd
The score is 10 to 6.
