WEBVTT - Three Stooges & Confucius 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:04.520 Hi, be hey, Elliott, you threw a pie in my face. 0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:08.680 I assumed by accident. Happens to everybody. Let's start again, Okay, 0:00:08.920 --> 0:00:13.600 I be, hey Elliott, I'm starting to think you're throwing 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:16.600 these pies at my face on purpose. I am. I 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:19.919 was inspired by the subject of today's episode. Ah, that 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:23.400 makes sense. The Three Stooges were the masters of slapstick comedy, 0:00:23.600 --> 0:00:26.680 and they threw a lot of pies in each other's faces. No, 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:28.960 I was inspired to throw pies at you by our 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:33.960 other historical figure, Confucius, the ancient philosopher whose ideas about 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:37.440 how to live properly became the foundation of Chinese culture. Yep. 0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:41.920 Confucius was all about people fulfilling their responsibilities. He said, 0:00:42.120 --> 0:00:44.880 let a ruler be a ruler, a subject to subject, 0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:48.000 a father of father, and a son a son. I 0:00:48.040 --> 0:00:52.160 still don't understand, so I'm just being me. I'm letting 0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:55.320 a B B a B.

I remember asking um a lot about 0:03:37.360 --> 0:03:40.200 ski jumping the last time you were on and Ava, 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:43.960 which episode had had you been on on the whu Was? Podcast?

What 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.640 I'm trying to do for the audience at home is 0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:58.440 just really build up this thrudge mass between brother and sister, 0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:05.120 shackle drama part with men Lincoln flute, the violin. That's right. 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.640 This is all on the table for the Who Was 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:13.520 Podcast Sibling Championship belt. There's a tournament of champions that 0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.040 we did not plan, and yet it's happening right here. 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.760 That's what happens on there Who Was Podcast? Sometimes that's right, 0:04:18.760 --> 0:04:21.640 and how fitting that with the three stooges who were siblings, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.080 that there's also a sibling grudge match. But YouTube, no 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.120 no poking each other's eyes, no pies, no fulling air. 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:32.120 Be like Confucius, a peaceful thinker who was also a 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:34.880 champion ski jumper. Is that true? I didn't read the book. 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:38.520 We'll see, we'll see. Thank you for doing that, and 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:41.320 thank you to Eric, our musician providing that lovely meet 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.760 the Condistance music and all the music on the show today. 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:47.200 So that's who is Ranger Namor. Now let's find out 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:54.240 who was Confucius with four fast facts prospects. Confucius was 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.520 born in China in five fifty one b C and 0:04:57.600 --> 0:05:01.640 died in four hundred seventy nine b C. Confucius was 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:05.000 a philosopher whose sayings have influenced Chinese culture for over 0:05:05.040 --> 0:05:09.400 two thousand years. His actual name was Kong Chu, but 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:13.000 he was called Kong Fuzi or Master Kong by his 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:18.279 students and people in Europe wrote that as Confucius, confucius 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:23.960 Is teachings called Confucianism focused on the importance of responsibility, loyalty, tradition, 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:31.760 and honoring one's parents and ancestors. Do you too really 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:37.640 honor your parents? Yeah? Yes, from both of them. I 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.919 don't know. It feels like although it feels like Eva 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:42.920 was shaking her head no, and then it turned into 0:05:43.000 --> 0:05:47.200 a Yet there's some collusion here. Okay, we're gonna pretend, okay, Eva, 0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:51.240 pretend Racher can't hear us. Is he really honoring his parents? 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.000 Which is are also your parents? Yeah? I think I 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.800 think he is. Okay, Ranger, pretend Ava can't hear us? 0:05:57.240 --> 0:06:03.520 Is she really being honorable towards your parents? Maybe? Wow? Wow, 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:07.320 that's right. These siblings, they are the gloves are off, 0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.920 they are already to play the game. I think there's 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:12.280 only one we to find out by moving on to 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:18.200 our first game. It's called Backpack from the Past. From 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:24.279 the Past by such a cool game. For this game, 0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:28.200 we went to China and brought back Confucius is actual backpack. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:30.680 We took it when the backpack guard wasn't looking. Don't 0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.400 tell anybody, we'll bring it back when we're done. Be 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.000 will describe objects from the backpack, and you'll choose the 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.000 answer that describes what the object has to do with Confucius. 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.360 Since this is our first game, every question is worth 0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:49.120 one point. B. Tell ranger what the first object is. Ah, 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:51.920 it's two dragons. We never should have borrowed this backpack. 0:06:52.200 --> 0:06:54.960 It's okay. BE in China, dragons are nice. They represent 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:58.880 wisdom and power. Okay, But well, why would Confucius be 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:03.119 carrying these dragons around in his backpack? Is it because A, 0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.000 as a boy, his mom wouldn't let him have a 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:07.880 pet dog, so he pretended to have two pet dragons, 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.120 or because B. According to the legend, two dragons guarded 0:07:12.160 --> 0:07:16.760 Confucius's mom when she gave birth to him. Um, B, 0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:21.360 that's right. The answer is BE. Long after Confucius had died, 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.800 people came up with legends to describe what a great 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.200 person he was. One of these legends said that his 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.240 mother was guarded by two dragons when Confucius was born. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.800 I'm gonna say this probably didn't happen. But if George 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.000 Washington can have a made up story about shopping down 0:07:36.000 --> 0:07:38.040 a cherry tree, why can't Confucius have a made up 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:43.960 dragon babysitter ava. This next object is for you. Oh, 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.800 it's a stack of postcards. This one says having a 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:51.880 blast in Chew. This one says welcome to Song. I 0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:55.960 wish you were here. Here's one it says living, laughing, 0:07:56.200 --> 0:08:00.160 loving in Chen And they're all signed by Confucius? Is 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:04.440 does he have all these postcards? Because A Confucius spent 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:09.000 many years traveling to find a job or b Confucius 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:13.000 broke the first ever travel guide entitled The Great Sages 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:17.920 Guide to China's Hottest Night Spots and Hippis Clubs. Uh, 0:08:19.400 --> 0:08:21.840 that's right. The answer is a Confucius s felt. But 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:25.160 the philosopher's role was to advise rulers how to govern wisely. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.280 At the time, China wasn't one country but many different 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:30.760 little states, So we figured he'd find some ruler who 0:08:30.760 --> 0:08:34.480 wanted his advice. Unfortunately, rulers weren't exactly lining up to 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.880 hire Confucius. He and his students traveled hundreds of miles 0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.079 over ten years without much success. Eventually, he and his 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.880 students returned to Confucius his home in the region called Lu, 0:08:44.200 --> 0:08:46.560 but not until after spreading word of his reputation and 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:50.440 wisdom among people all over China. Okay, ranger, this next 0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:56.200 item is for you. Whoa, it's a whole tree? What 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:59.559 is this doing in here? Is it because a someone 0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.559 wants tried to kill Confucius by dropping a tree on him? 0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:08.320 Or be Confucius famously settled an argument with another philosopher 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:13.319 by climbing the tallest tree in China. That's right, it's 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.480 a During confucius Is long travels, he and the students 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.760 went to the state of Song, where he criticized the 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.400 government official named Juan Tweet. As revenge, Juan ordered his 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.840 men to cut down a tree Confucius was standing under 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:28.079 so it would fall and crush him. Confucius escaped unharmed, 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.120 telling his students, Heaven has bestowed me with virtue. What 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:33.560 do I have to fear from Juan Tweet? I don't 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:35.720 know it was me. I'd be pretty scared of a 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.760 tree falling on me. And the last item in the 0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:43.040 backpack is for Eva. Oh it's a ruler like um, 0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:45.160 you know, a ruler that you'd used in math class, 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:49.280 not a ruler like Juan Tweet. But it's surprisingly heavy. 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.520 But no wonder it's made of gold. Why would Confucius 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:56.760 have a golden ruler in his backpack? Was it because 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.880 A he said he wanted to work for a goal 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.080 than ruler, a ruler who is pure in everything he did, 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.600 or because b he taught the golden rule that people 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.559 should treat others the way they would want to be treated. 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:15.960 I think you're right. It's be confucious. Talk to students 0:10:16.000 --> 0:10:19.199 that which you do not desire, do not do to others. Basically, 0:10:19.440 --> 0:10:21.320 treat people the way you'd want to be treated. This 0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.760 is known as the Golden rule, and Confucius is one 0:10:23.800 --> 0:10:26.160 of many wise people who have taught it throughout history. 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.800 If only we could all live by this simple rule, 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:30.960 the world would be a better place, and we'd never 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:34.040 have to worry about angry government officials dropping trees on us. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.480 It's something I worry about constantly. At least, now you've 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.160 got those two dragons watching over you and I can 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.920 shield myself with these postcards. Uh sure. And that's the 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:52.520 end of the game from the Baby Great Round. Thank 0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:55.120 you all, and now let's turn to our own great 0:10:55.160 --> 0:10:59.600 Sage producer Jane with the scores. Thank you, Elliott. I 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:03.680 don't mind telling you that things are getting pretty scary. 0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:08.560 Ava and Ranger are tied at two points each. Thank 0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.319 you Jane. Those scores are so close they're the exact 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.920 same thing. But you could still be any siblings game. 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.160 And we'll get right back to the game after this 0:11:16.280 --> 0:11:19.480 short break. Eric, please play us some Golden Rule music. 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:33.240 Please measure it in carrots. Welcome back to the Who 0:11:33.320 --> 0:11:37.319 Was Podcast. Today we're learning all about who was Confucious 0:11:37.320 --> 0:11:41.160 and who were the Three Stooges. Our scores are Ranger 0:11:41.240 --> 0:11:44.520 with two points and Ava with two points. Now back 0:11:44.559 --> 0:11:48.160 to your host, Elliot Galen. Thank you be. We've learned 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.679 about one of history's wisest men. Now let's learn about well, 0:11:51.800 --> 0:11:58.240 the exact opposite, the Three Stooges with four fast facts Fast. 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:02.360 The Three Stooges were a comedy team who performed together 0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:08.400 from seventy and start in two movies. The Three Stooges 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.240 got laughed by pretending to fight, have clumsy accidents, or 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.360 throw pies at each other, a type of comedy called slapstick. 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:17.800 Those six different people took turns in the group. The 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:22.560 most famous Stooges were Mo Howard, Curly Howard, and Larry Fine. 0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:26.439 Mo Curly and another Stooge, Shemp, were actually brothers. Their 0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:35.400 real names were Moses, Jerome and Sam Horowitz. Prospects. Hey, knucklehead, 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:38.840 should we get to the next game? Certainly, it's okay, everybody, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.120 We're just talking like the Stooges. B wasn't really calling 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:45.679 me a knuckle head? Oh, I wasn't okay. Our next 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:52.880 game is called soun Effects of a Sound Defects sound Effects. 0:12:53.800 --> 0:12:56.240 In this game, we'll play a sound effect inspired by 0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.199 something important from the Three Stooges life, and our contestants 0:12:59.240 --> 0:13:01.520 will tell us what us sound represents. Since this is 0:13:01.559 --> 0:13:03.959 the second round, each question will be worth two points. 0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:09.720 Ava This first sound effect is for you, hm hmmm. 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.920 That sounds like the sound of clipping scissors. Why would 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:15.559 that be important to the lives of the Three Stooges. 0:13:16.080 --> 0:13:19.080 Was it because a? The Stooges were known for their 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:23.360 silly and distinctive haircuts, or be they started out as 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.400 the Three cut Ups, a comedy group that told jokes 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:30.520 while running around stage carrying scissors. I think that's a. 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:34.280 That's right. The answer is A. When Moe was a 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:37.319 young boy who was bullied for having long, beautiful, curly hair, 0:13:37.679 --> 0:13:39.840 in a fit of anger, he cut his own hair short, 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.320 leaving himself with a ragged bowl cut that he would 0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.760 keep for the rest of his life. Larry fluffed up 0:13:44.760 --> 0:13:46.240 his hair so it would stick out from his head, 0:13:46.360 --> 0:13:49.120 and curly shaved his head bald. Audiences could tell them 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.160 apart just from their hair. And just so you know, 0:13:52.360 --> 0:13:56.319 running around with scissors is extremely dangerous. Even the Stooges 0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:58.280 didn't do that, and they spent a lot of time 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.920 sticking their fingers in each other's eye. Okay, Ranger, This 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:07.040 next sound is for you. Moof that sounds like a 0:14:07.080 --> 0:14:10.920 piece of fruit being smushed into shempower its face. Is 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:14.120 that because a shemp was born without a mouth and 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:17.600 could only eat by smushing food up his nose, or 0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:21.520 because b the Stooges act was born when someone shoved 0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:27.400 a piece of fruit in shemp's face. Be you got it. 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:29.680 It's be. As a young man, Mo worked for a 0:14:29.720 --> 0:14:32.920 comedian named Ted Held. One night, his brother Shemp joined 0:14:32.960 --> 0:14:35.600 them on stage. While eating a pear, and Healy smushed 0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:38.560 it into Shemp's face. Audiences thought it was hilarious, and 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:41.720 Shemp joined the act. Heally called the boys his stooges, 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:44.640 meaning guys he could push around. Soon Larry joined the 0:14:44.640 --> 0:14:46.720 act and the Stooges left to perform on their own, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.320 becoming even bigger stars than their old boss. Head Ever 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.680 was serves them right for smushing Shemp's pair. Our next 0:14:53.680 --> 0:15:02.280 sound is for Ava wh Who? What was that? Was 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:05.360 that a some of the wacky sounds Curly Howard would 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:10.120 make while performing, or be the sounds Curly's pet squirrel 0:15:10.120 --> 0:15:12.280 would make when he would have to sit in his 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:17.520 cage while the Stooges traveled between live shows. A. Yes, 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.760 that was a some of Curly's trademark sounds. Curly was 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:22.720 the last of the Howard brothers to join the act, 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:25.600 but quickly became the most popular. He would do anything 0:15:25.640 --> 0:15:28.000 to get a laugh, makes silly noises, talk in a 0:15:28.000 --> 0:15:30.800 squeaky voice, or spin around on the ground. The Stooges 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:34.080 were known for their zeny humor and Curly was the Zadist. 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:43.160 And this last sound is for Ranger. Oh okay, that 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.440 sounds like an old TV set from back before people 0:15:46.440 --> 0:15:49.840 watch shows only on their phones. Is that because a 0:15:50.560 --> 0:15:53.440 The Stooges accidentally broke the first TV set and it 0:15:53.480 --> 0:15:56.800 took scientists years to make a new one. Or be 0:15:57.320 --> 0:16:00.800 the Stooges found a whole new audience on early television. 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:05.440 I think do you think right? It's be. Most of 0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:07.920 the Stooges movies were what's called shorts. They were only 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.160 about ten to fifteen minutes long, and they were shown 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.320 in theaters before a full length movie in the nineteen fifties. 0:16:13.360 --> 0:16:16.160 Early TV stations needed things to show, and the Three 0:16:16.200 --> 0:16:19.240 Stooges shorts fit perfectly into the schedule. So when you're 0:16:19.360 --> 0:16:22.440 grandparents were kids, the Three Stooges were on TV all 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.920 the time. Suddenly they were more popular than they've ever 0:16:24.960 --> 0:16:27.720 been in America went through a Three Stooges craze. Their 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.240 shorts are still shown on TV today, more than half 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:33.840 a century after they were made. That's nothing. Who was 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:37.920 podcast will last thousands of years? That's probably true, and 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.080 that's also the end of the game. Sound defects of 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:48.120 fog sound sound defects the fogery. Great game, everyone, Now, 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:51.240 let's woo woo woo over to Jane with the schools. 0:16:51.440 --> 0:16:53.560 Oh welliot, but I've got to tell you we've got 0:16:53.640 --> 0:16:56.760 no knuckleheads on the game today. We have Ringer and 0:16:56.880 --> 0:17:02.760 David tied at six points each. Still, time of amazing. 0:17:03.520 --> 0:17:06.320 Not a knuckle head to be sound. This is one 0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.520 smart set of siblings, Thank you, Jane. Now before our 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:11.360 next game, we'll go to a quick break and then, 0:17:13.960 --> 0:17:16.240 uh b, can you turn off the sound effect Safari 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:20.560 sound effects Machine? Sure? Hey? Does the sound effects Safari 0:17:20.640 --> 0:17:23.159 sound Effects Machine look like a big bald guy with 0:17:23.200 --> 0:17:26.800 a silly face? Who's standing right there? Not the last 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:31.520 time I checked. Unless that isn't the sound effects Safari 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:40.119 sound effects Machine, it's hallo, hallo, hallo. Hallow, Curly, three stooges, 0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:46.520 it's me who can't thinking what with me? Oh sorry, Curly. 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:49.080 We just didn't expect to see you there. I didn't 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:51.800 expect to see me there either, But there I was 0:17:52.040 --> 0:17:55.199 minding my own business when I flipped on a roll escape, 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.240 parked over a railing, hit my head on an ample, 0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:05.439 writing who was it? Who? Was that you want someone in? 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:13.840 Oh you need yeah that one. I'm just a victim 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:16.480 of suctim stick. Well, we're honored to have you in 0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:20.479 the studio. Mr. What are you doing? Put that down? Gee? 0:18:20.880 --> 0:18:23.360 You mean I shall be playing with this expensive look 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:28.639 in the electronical though, Hicky, I ask him that every day. No, Curly, 0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:35.720 please just set that breakable equipment down very gently. Hey 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:41.960 go go Gorde. No, hey, Curly. Maybe we should change 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:44.760 the subject before Elliott loses a little bit of cool. 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:49.080 He has left a plendid idea. While I'm here, I 0:18:49.200 --> 0:18:52.000 may as well share some of my life's sayings about 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:57.400 the probable way. So we've probably like Confucius. Oh won't 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.280 confuse us? All right? There's one. A person may be 0:19:01.400 --> 0:19:04.680 said to love learning if they remain as curious as 0:19:04.720 --> 0:19:09.720 a child. That's beautiful, Curly, I'm not done. And also 0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:11.919 if they hit their bread over the head with a 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:18.320 really big book. I don't know that that's the best lesson. Now, okay, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.920 what about this one? I don't wonder what you would 0:19:22.000 --> 0:19:27.000 have thunder you? Now that's some lines advice. How let 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:30.520 they finish so folk up in the eyes, shake the 0:19:30.680 --> 0:19:33.320 nose and suck their fit, so it springs around, it 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.880 hits him in the back of I don't look it, Curly, 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:40.159 that's a terrible thing to tell kids. How right, already, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.840 there ain't no pleasing some people. I'll drive one more. 0:19:45.320 --> 0:19:49.399 Remember that one's funny on spring isn't always funny in 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:54.720 real life. And that's it. I mean, all the fighting 0:19:54.800 --> 0:19:57.680 I did with Moa and Larry was all pretend I 0:19:57.720 --> 0:20:01.360 loved my fellow stokis. I never would have done anything 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:05.600 for real. That's really wonderful, Curly. I guess it's true. 0:20:05.680 --> 0:20:07.960 In real life, you and the other stooges were very 0:20:08.040 --> 0:20:11.439 carrying people. All that destruction in Mayhem was all make believe. 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:20.000 That's right what he's wrecking the studio? All right enough, already, 0:20:20.080 --> 0:20:22.520 that's my job. We've got to get him back in 0:20:22.640 --> 0:20:27.720 the act. Hey, quick portion, quick person, So long, nucklehead. 0:20:31.880 --> 0:20:34.080 Let's take a short break so be and I can 0:20:34.119 --> 0:20:36.399 clean up the studio. Then we'll be right back with 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:39.360 our final rounds. But first, Eric, could you please play 0:20:39.400 --> 0:20:41.439 us some getting hit in the face with HI music. 0:20:41.480 --> 0:20:55.320 Please exfoliates and moisturizes. Hey who was? Hers? Exciting news 0:20:55.560 --> 0:20:58.040 who was has been nominated for a Signal Award for 0:20:58.160 --> 0:21:01.840 Best Kids Podcast.

Geraldine, we're back on the who Is Podcast. 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:27.760 When we last left up, Ranger had six points and 0:21:27.920 --> 0:21:31.400 Eva had six points. It's a tie, and now back 0:21:31.440 --> 0:21:34.840 to your host, Elliott Helin. Thank you, B. Neither of 0:21:34.880 --> 0:21:37.240 these siblings is giving an inch, but we'll see what 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:51.000 happens with our final game, Converge of Greatness. In this game, 0:21:51.080 --> 0:21:54.080 B will ask you multiple choice questions about how Confucious 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:58.120 and the three Stooges overlap, connect or converge. And because 0:21:58.160 --> 0:22:01.200 we're in the third round, each question is worth read points. Ready. 0:22:01.400 --> 0:22:06.000 First question goes to Ranger, be taken away? All right, Ranger. 0:22:06.560 --> 0:22:10.080 All of the three studies fighting was pretend for the cameras. 0:22:10.320 --> 0:22:14.280 Confucius wasn't into real fighting either. When he was asked 0:22:14.280 --> 0:22:18.160 by Duke Ling how best to use his military, Confucius 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:22.280 realized the Duke was more interested in fighting than ruling. Wisely, 0:22:22.800 --> 0:22:26.760 so how did Confucius reply. Did he a tell the 0:22:26.840 --> 0:22:29.280 Duke he was an expert warrior so the Duke would 0:22:29.280 --> 0:22:33.160 like him, or be say he knew lots about religious 0:22:33.160 --> 0:22:37.640 practices but little about warfare, or see hooked the Duke 0:22:37.720 --> 0:22:40.040 in the eyes and say that's enough out of you 0:22:40.240 --> 0:22:45.760 shout ahead, um b that's right. The answer is being Confucius, 0:22:45.720 --> 0:22:48.439 who really wanted the job of advising Duke ling, so 0:22:48.520 --> 0:22:50.480 he could have told him all sorts of things about 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:53.560 military strategy. For Confucius felt it was more important to 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.119 live up to his ideals of peace and justice. So 0:22:56.200 --> 0:22:59.080 Confucius tanked the job interview by pretending he couldn't do 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:01.399 the job and could have really used that job too. 0:23:01.680 --> 0:23:03.760 He and the students were unemployed for so long they 0:23:03.800 --> 0:23:06.679 eventually ran out of food. The next question is for 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:11.600 Ava Confucius traveled a lot looking for rulers to advise. 0:23:12.119 --> 0:23:15.159 The Stooges traveled a lot too. Was this because A. 0:23:15.640 --> 0:23:19.159 Before they made movies, they performed on the vaudeville theater circuit. 0:23:19.760 --> 0:23:22.480 B they had to keep running away from bakers whose 0:23:22.520 --> 0:23:26.520 pies they splattered. Or see they were so dumb. They 0:23:26.520 --> 0:23:32.080 couldn't remember where they lived. H that's right. The answer 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:34.159 is a. The studges started out in a type of 0:23:34.200 --> 0:23:37.520 theater called vaudeville. It was incredibly popular from the eighteen 0:23:37.560 --> 0:23:40.400 eighties to the nineteen thirties. In a vaudeville show, you'd 0:23:40.400 --> 0:23:43.920 see lots of different kinds of actors, comedians, musicians, jugglers, 0:23:43.920 --> 0:23:47.480 even trained animals. There were vaudeville theaters all over America. 0:23:47.840 --> 0:23:50.200 Some of them were nice and some of them were 0:23:50.400 --> 0:23:52.960 not so nice. The Stooges were forced to get dressed 0:23:53.080 --> 0:23:56.440 in storage rooms full of popcorn in one of them. Oh, 0:23:56.560 --> 0:23:59.200 I don't know what you're talking about. I can't imagine 0:23:59.200 --> 0:24:02.080 anything better that are room full of popcorns. You should 0:24:02.119 --> 0:24:03.800 have tried to eat a room full of popcorn. B 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:08.320 not to eat to swim in. Obviously, all right. The 0:24:08.359 --> 0:24:12.760 next question is poor Ranger. The Three Stooges comedy routines 0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:15.920 will live on forever because they were recorded on film, 0:24:15.960 --> 0:24:19.399 but there weren't any cameras or microphones when Confucius was alive. 0:24:20.080 --> 0:24:23.960 How have his sayings lasted for thousands of years? Is 0:24:23.960 --> 0:24:26.639 it because A. They were engraved on the side of 0:24:26.640 --> 0:24:30.520 an enormous Mountain b They were written on tiny strips 0:24:30.520 --> 0:24:33.080 of paper that were hidden inside cookies for people to 0:24:33.080 --> 0:24:36.880 find after a meal or see. They were collected into 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:42.520 a book called the Analects. I think see you think right? 0:24:42.600 --> 0:24:45.560 The answer is c. Analects is a word that means 0:24:45.600 --> 0:24:49.560 brief sayings, and the Analects of Confucius are supposedly recordings 0:24:49.560 --> 0:24:52.560 of things Confucius said or did during his life, including 0:24:52.600 --> 0:24:54.919 how he dressed and what he liked to eat. Nobody 0:24:54.920 --> 0:24:57.439 knows who collected the sayings together, but the Analects have 0:24:57.520 --> 0:24:59.720 become one of the most studied books in the world. 0:25:00.119 --> 0:25:03.119 And now our final question of the game is for ava. 0:25:04.200 --> 0:25:08.000 Confucius spoke about the importance of acting responsibly and loyally 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.600 to other people, especially members of your family. When Curly 0:25:11.680 --> 0:25:14.440 became too sick to perform, how did the students show 0:25:14.520 --> 0:25:18.240 their loyalty to him? Did they A spend their own 0:25:18.280 --> 0:25:21.680 money on an enormous Curly puppet that Curly could operate 0:25:21.720 --> 0:25:25.720 from his hospital bed, b agreed to each contribute part 0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.880
