Speaker 1: Unfortunately I have not, but that is on my bucket.
Speaker 1: Oh nice, that would be amazing. I find skiing so scary.
Speaker 1: I'm very impressed that you're able to do it. And
Speaker 1: the idea of jumping out of a helicopter, you know what,
Speaker 1: that might be so scary that it goes all the
Speaker 1: way back around, it becomes not scary again. I don't know.
Speaker 1: What do you think? I don't know. I guess I'll
Speaker 1: have to wait to find us. Yeah, all right, well
Speaker 1: you can report back to us in the near future.
Speaker 1: Thank you, Charlie. And here today we also have Kylie. Kylie,
Speaker 1: please introduce yourself. Hi. My name is Kylie, and I
Speaker 1: really like volleyball. Oh wow, okay, now volleyball is okay.
Speaker 1: So Elliott is scared of skiing. I am scared of volleyball.
Speaker 1: So I'm glad that each of you has a sport
Speaker 1: that you do that terrifies one of us. Just anytime
Speaker 1: we had to do volleyball in Jim class, it would
Speaker 1: always hurt my wrists so much. How do you how
Speaker 1: do you get through that? It's just like, after a while,
Speaker 1: your wrist just become numb. You can feel it far okay, great,
Speaker 1: great advice for anything in life. You do it lot enough,
Speaker 1: you become numbs you know, you stop, you stop feeling
Speaker 1: feelings and you can just get through the volleyball game
Speaker 1: with no worries whatsoever. Well, thank you both so much
Speaker 1: for joining us and taking time out of your very
Speaker 1: active athletic schedule. And thank you to Eric, our musician,
Speaker 1: for providing that lovely live Meet the Contestants music, as
Speaker 1: well as all the music you'll hear on the show today.
Speaker 1: So that's who is Now Let's find out who was
Speaker 1: Jane Austen with four fast facts FOS. Jane Austen was
Speaker 1: born in Stepenton, England, in seventeen seventy five. Jane wrote
Speaker 1: six best selling novels. Her work has been adapted to
Speaker 1: dozens of movies and TV shows. She was the first
Speaker 1: female writer to appear on British Money Prospects. Jane Austen's
Speaker 1: books were based on the types of situations she encountered
Speaker 1: in her middle class British life. And I'm wondering for
Speaker 1: our contestants, if you had to write a book loosely
Speaker 1: based on your life, what would the title be? M
Speaker 1: I wish everybody could see the pondering poses. Those are
Speaker 1: some good thinking faces. Those are good solid thinking faces,
Speaker 1: I guess for like, for me, the title of my
Speaker 1: book would be a B movie. Oh that's cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's good. And I think probably that the title of
Speaker 1: the book about my life would be called please Stop Talking,
Speaker 1: because I get that a lot from people. People tell
Speaker 1: me that people always say people are just always saying
Speaker 1: it to me. So, Kylie, what do you think would
Speaker 1: what would be the title of the book based on
Speaker 1: your life? Probably like the every Day Adventures with Kylie?
Speaker 1: Ooh nice. I think that would make a really good
Speaker 1: TV show as well. Yeah, I love that phrase. Everyday adventures. Charlie,
Speaker 1: what about you? Will be the title of your book?
Speaker 1: I don't know. It's kind of hard because all the
Speaker 1: good ones are kind of taken. Yeah, all the good
Speaker 1: titles are taking great expectations Dick the Bible. But I
Speaker 1: bet we can come up with something. Uh yeah, I
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe i'd name it something around like woods
Speaker 1: Fellow took for maybe like Charlie's Woodsy Adventures or Charlie's Woods.
Speaker 1: Oh oh that's like that. It's almost like walden Pond.
Speaker 1: Charlie's Woods yeah, yeah, I'll never forget that summer at
Speaker 1: Charlie's Woods, and then it's a flashback to those magical days.
Speaker 1: Those those are great titles. Thank you both. I would
Speaker 1: definitely read both of those books, and I expect to
Speaker 1: please start writing them soon. And now it's time to
Speaker 1: move on to our first game. Hashtag history, hashtag history,
Speaker 1: hashtagy hashtag history, hashtag thank you Eric. In this game,
Speaker 1: we will read to a hashtag Jane would have used
Speaker 1: during her life if there was social media at the time,
Speaker 1: and you will tell us what it's about. Charlie Europe First, Okay,
Speaker 1: all the money in the world couldn't buy my love
Speaker 1: hashtag all the single ladies. Was Jane referring to the
Speaker 1: fact that she a made each of her protagonists perform
Speaker 1: a solo dance at the climax of her story, or
Speaker 1: B that she never got married, or c that she
Speaker 1: only ever drank single servings of tea. B she never
Speaker 1: got married. That's right. The answer is B. Jane Austen
Speaker 1: was proposed to but chose to Tremaine single because she
Speaker 1: believed in marrying for love and not for money, and
Speaker 1: certainly not for likes on Instagram. But that's largely because
Speaker 1: social media hadn't been invented yet. If they had at
Speaker 1: the time, who knows, maybe she should have got married
Speaker 1: for likes on Instagram. Okay, the next question is for Kylie.
Speaker 1: I guess learning isn't the only thing that's contagious here.
Speaker 1: Hashtag going viral was Jane talking about a coming down
Speaker 1: with typhoid fever when she was in school b being
Speaker 1: very good at science or see One of her most
Speaker 1: beloved characters is named Lady Violet Rawl, whose nickname is
Speaker 1: viral A. I think that's right. The answer is a
Speaker 1: Jane and her sister of Cassandra, caught typhoid fever and
Speaker 1: had to leave the school they were attending. Jane didn't
Speaker 1: like the schools. This might not have been the worst thing.
Speaker 1: But disclaimer for everyone listening at home, we do not
Speaker 1: recommend catching typhoid as a way to get out of school.
Speaker 1: There are easier ways to get out of school, like
Speaker 1: do really good at it, then you graduate you don't
Speaker 1: have to go to school anymore. Back to you, Charlie
Speaker 1: for the next question. My latest book, Northanger Abbey, may
Speaker 1: look a little familiar. Hashtag throwback Thursday. Skeptical emoji winky
Speaker 1: face emoji was Jane talking about A the novel being
Speaker 1: historical science fiction that took place centuries before it was written.
Speaker 1: B the book is all about Jane's childhood or see
Speaker 1: While it was the first book she sold, it was
Speaker 1: one of the last to be published. Is the answer C.
Speaker 1: That's right. The is C. The man who bought her
Speaker 1: first book refused to publish it, and it wasn't until
Speaker 1: she made enough money from her other novels that she
Speaker 1: could afford to buy it back. And the final question
Speaker 1: is for you, Kylie. On my nineteenth birthday, Daddy brought
Speaker 1: me something to help me hashtag rise and grind hashtag blessed.
Speaker 1: Did Jane receive a paper and ink? B a small desk?
Speaker 1: See both of those things or d neither. He thought
Speaker 1: she was a terrible writer and should go and become
Speaker 1: a nun. A she received paper and ink. I think
Speaker 1: we can give you half credit for that. The answer
Speaker 1: is see both of those things. Jane's father thought she
Speaker 1: was talented enough to be able to make a living
Speaker 1: as a writer, a profession very few women were able
Speaker 1: to perform at that time. But whether you're a writer
Speaker 1: or a nun successfully comes down to maintaining good habits.
Speaker 1: Get it, habit, habits, get it. Charlie does not get
Speaker 1: It's okay if you know, it's okay if you don't.
Speaker 1: And that's the end of hashtag history. Hashtag hashtag. That
Speaker 1: was a great round. I wish you had laughed at
Speaker 1: my joke, but it's okay. It's like I said. The
Speaker 1: title of my book is stop talking, please, and thank
Speaker 1: you for playing the game with us. Now let's go
Speaker 1: to producer James very small disk for the scores. Well,
Speaker 1: it's very tight. Charlie has two points, Kylie right behind
Speaker 1: with one and one half. Thank you, Jane. It's a
Speaker 1: close game. Those scores are very close, but it's still
Speaker 1: anyone's game, and we'll get right back to it after
Speaker 1: this short break. Eric, could you please play us some
Speaker 1: music that could go with a polite comedy of manners
Speaker 1: if you would, it's a farce. Welcome back to the
Speaker 1: Who Was Podcast. Today we're learning all about who was
Speaker 1: Jane Austen and who was Lucille Ball And now back
Speaker 1: to your host, Elliott Kalin. Thank you be. Our current
Speaker 1: scores stand at Charlie the Skier the two points and
Speaker 1: Kylie the volleyballer with one and a half thas. We're
Speaker 1: engaging in a real battle of wits about two witty ladies.
Speaker 1: So let's get to it by finding out more about
Speaker 1: Lucille Ball with four fast facts fool fast facts. Lucille
Speaker 1: Ball was born in nineteen eleven in Jamestown, New York,
Speaker 1: and died in nineteen eighty nine. Her TV show I
Speaker 1: Love Lucy was the highest rated show in the country.
Speaker 1: She was the first woman to run a major production company.
Speaker 1: Lucy's career in TV and movies spanned more than fifty
Speaker 1: five years. Fools facts. So let's move on to our
Speaker 1: next game and learn even more about Lucille Ball. This
Speaker 1: is a game we call true or false or false?
Speaker 1: Is false? Is it false? Or is it true? Is
Speaker 1: it true that it was false? Or that it was true?
Speaker 1: Or true? True or false? For this game, Bill read
Speaker 1: a statement. You will then let us know if that
Speaker 1: statement is true or false. And since this is our
Speaker 1: second round, each question is worth two points. Kylie, You're
Speaker 1: rope first. All right? True or false? Lucille Ball was
Speaker 1: a star as soon as she decided she wanted to
Speaker 1: be an actress. False, that's right. That is false? When
Speaker 1: she started her teachers told her she didn't have any talent.
Speaker 1: They said she would never be an actress, but instead
Speaker 1: she ended up being one of the most popular performers
Speaker 1: of all times. So take that, teachers. This next question
Speaker 1: is for you, Charlie. All right, Charlie. Lucille became known
Speaker 1: for her physical comedy, which she learned in part from
Speaker 1: silent film star Buster Keaton. Is that true or false? True?
Speaker 1: That is true? Buster Keaton and Lucy became big friends
Speaker 1: at MGM Studios in nineteen forties. Buster was passed his
Speaker 1: big starring days, but showed the up and coming Lucille
Speaker 1: how to use props to create short, funny skits, a
Speaker 1: skill she would perfect on the Isle of Lucy Show.
Speaker 1: The two even appeared on screen together in nineteen sixty
Speaker 1: five in a tribute to another physical comedian, Stan Laurel
Speaker 1: of Laurel and Hardy Fame Back to you, Kylie, all right, Keylie,
Speaker 1: this question is for you. When Lucy became pregnant with
Speaker 1: her second child, studio executives were excited to include it
Speaker 1: in the storyline of I Love Lucy. Is that true
Speaker 1: or false? True? No, One'm sorry, the answer is false.
Speaker 1: Lucy had to convince the studio executives to allow her
Speaker 1: character to be pregnant over a total of seven episodes.
Speaker 1: It was the first pregnancy in real time to be
Speaker 1: shown on television. Even after CBS agreed they wouldn't let
Speaker 1: the characters say Lucy was the word pregnant, and they
Speaker 1: made them say expecting instead. This last question is for you, Charlie,
Speaker 1: all right. In nineteen eighty four, the Museum of Broadcasting
Speaker 1: honored Lucy as the Princess of Comedy. Is this true
Speaker 1: or false? It true? I'm sorry it was false. She
Speaker 1: was honored as the Queen of Television. At a ceremony
Speaker 1: for her, then President Ronald Reagan reminded the crowd that
Speaker 1: more people tuned in to watch the episode of her
Speaker 1: show where her son, little Ricky was born, then watched
Speaker 1: the inauguration of President Dwight Eisenhower. Take that, CBS executives,
Speaker 1: and that's the end of the round. True. True, true.
Speaker 1: That was a suspenseful game. And we'll be expecting some
Speaker 1: scores from Jane right after this short break, Eric, can
Speaker 1: you please play us some early television music? No speaking, Hey,
Speaker 1: who was hers? I want to make a shout out
Speaker 1: to your own favorite person history, famous or unfamous. Do
Speaker 1: you think your sour no recipe is better than ours?
Speaker 1: Would you like to tell us your craziest dream? What
Speaker 1: I'm trying to say is we want to hear from you,
Speaker 1: so send us an email or voice memo at the
Speaker 1: Who Was Podcast at gmail dot com. Ter Welcome back
Speaker 1: to the Who Was Podcast. Today we're learning all about
Speaker 1: who was Jane Austen and who was Lucille Ball with
Speaker 1: our fantastically entertaining contestants. And now here's your host, Elliott Kaylin.
Speaker 1: Thank you be and now let's go to producer Jane
Speaker 1: for the current scores. Oh it's so close. Kylie has
Speaker 1: three and a half points, while Charlie has around four.
Speaker 1: Not a round four, a round number four, it's a
Speaker 1: whole number four. Thank you for specifying, Jane. We really
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Jane, I had a question. Are you and
Speaker 1: Jane Austen related? You're both named Jane, Yes, yes, Oh wow,
Speaker 1: you heard it here first, folks, a descendant of the
Speaker 1: original And wait, do you hear that laughter? It sounds
Speaker 1: like we have two guests visiting us in the studio.
Speaker 1: Please welcome Jane Austen and Lucille ball. Helloo, and let's
Speaker 1: not forget to take a moment to shout out the
Speaker 1: app that brought you here? The who was app? Who was? You?
Speaker 1: Wanted to be the best op? Wait? Do you two
Speaker 1: already know each other? We do run in the same circles. Yes,
Speaker 1: running in circles seems like an exhausting waste of time.
Speaker 1: See isn't she utterly riotous? This studio reminds me of
Speaker 1: my time recording my radio show. I assume this is
Speaker 1: one of the most popular programs in the country. We
Speaker 1: don't have to get into the numbers. Thank you most
Speaker 1: kindly for letting me join you today. Of course, you're
Speaker 1: one of the greatest writers in British literature. Ah, but
Speaker 1: I almost wasn't. The man who promised to publish my
Speaker 1: first book never did anything with it, and it took
Speaker 1: years before I actually became a published author. That guy
Speaker 1: didn't know what he had. Your publisher sounds like the
Speaker 1: studio executives I had to deal with all the time
Speaker 1: I had to work to convince them to let me
Speaker 1: make my show. Did they make you pay for everything
Speaker 1: up front like they did for two of my novels? No,
Speaker 1: that would have been a little harder with TV, but
Speaker 1: they did say they didn't want my husband Dessi to
Speaker 1: play my husband on TV because of his accent. So
Speaker 1: we did skins around the country to convince them and
Speaker 1: it worked. Oh skits, I love skits. My family would
Speaker 1: put on the Little Place to entertain ourselves. That was
Speaker 1: some of my first writing. I was inspired by the
Speaker 1: silly ways people would act when they were trying to
Speaker 1: be proper. It's like Buster Keaton always says, being silly
Speaker 1: is the best. Say you and I should write a
Speaker 1: skit together, sometimes charming. We'll set it at a party,
Speaker 1: and we didn't get and write it, so we got
Speaker 1: to dress up in maid disguises to get it. Oh
Speaker 1: and then something unexpected happens near the refreshment. The kitchen
Speaker 1: keeps sending out food and we're running out of table space,
Speaker 1: so we gotta keep eating everything to make room. Or
Speaker 1: perhaps someone misplaces a glove and I trip and fall
Speaker 1: on it, store all the food off the table, and
Speaker 1: then we got to clean it up because they think
Speaker 1: we're made. I love it. We'll call it ball Hall.
Speaker 1: Oh no notes, let's go write it up. Goodbye bye,
Speaker 1: Thank you, Lucille and Jane. Jane Austen brought up funny
Speaker 1: situations that happen when people try and fail to be
Speaker 1: very fond Sye, is there a time when something silly
Speaker 1: happened at a time you were supposed to be serious?
Speaker 1: And Charlie, has that ever happened to you that you've
Speaker 1: needed to be serious instaid something silly happened. It's happened
Speaker 1: to me, I'm pretty sure quite a few times over
Speaker 1: the years, especially during a test, sometimes I just bust
Speaker 1: out laughing We're supposed to be quiet. That used to
Speaker 1: happen to me a lot when I was young, and
Speaker 1: my teachers would be like, hey, you have to go
Speaker 1: see the principle. And I would say, but this is laughter,
Speaker 1: the most joyous sound in the world. And they would say,
Speaker 1: we're trying to please stop because they stop talking. Please, yeah,
Speaker 1: and send me the principle. But what about you, Kylie,
Speaker 1: has that ever happened to you that you've were supposed
Speaker 1: to be serious and said you couldn't help doing something silly? Uh? Yeah,
Speaker 1: it happens all the time in math class. What is
Speaker 1: it about school it makes people want to be silly? Interesting? Well,
Speaker 1: what is it specifically about math class where it's supposed
Speaker 1: to be very serious but it just makes you want
Speaker 1: to laugh. Yeah. It So it's like my math class
Speaker 1: is super small, and I've known the people for like
Speaker 1: a bunch of years. So when I'm trying to be
Speaker 1: serious or they're trying to be serious, like we just
Speaker 1: burst out on laughter or something like that. And how
Speaker 1: does your teacher handle it? Is your teacher like Okay,
Speaker 1: that's pretty funny, or is your teacher like stop laughing.
Speaker 1: These are numbers, let's show them respect. It depends like
Speaker 1: if we're actually trying to learn something top and that stuff,
Speaker 1: but if like we're just like goofing around and stuff,
Speaker 1: then like she'll be fine with that. I was gonna
Speaker 1: say it was like I like this this. You know.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a teacher who knows that they've got
Speaker 1: to get some stuff done but also allows for some silliness. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like a teacher that allows some goofiness a math class.
Speaker 1: That sounds great. Well, thank you both for sharing your
Speaker 1: real life, everyday adventures of being silly at serious times.
Speaker 1: Now it's time for another serious thing. They will also
Speaker 1: get kind of silly. It's our last game and it's
Speaker 1: called converge of greatness. In this multiple choice game, we'll
Speaker 1: explore how Jane Austen and Lucille Ball connect, overlap, or converge.
Speaker 1: Choose the best answer for each question. And because we're
Speaker 1: dealing with three times the history in this one, because
Speaker 1: it's Lucille Ball and Jane Austen and Lucia Ball and
Speaker 1: Jane Austen together, each question were worth three points. It's
Speaker 1: really because it's the third round. Three points. Okay, The
Speaker 1: first question goes to Charlie B. Take it away, all right, Charlie.
Speaker 1: Both Lucille Ball and Jane Austen excelled in fields that
Speaker 1: were historically and overwhelmingly male. During their lives. There were
Speaker 1: so few women who were writers. When Jane Austen published
Speaker 1: her first book, they listed the author as a some
Speaker 1: person be this guy or see a lady, see a lady.
Speaker 1: That's right, the answer is see a lady, not even
Speaker 1: this lady or that lady. It wasn't until the release
Speaker 1: of her later books that she was credited by name
Speaker 1: as the author. You just know, at the time, some
Speaker 1: random english woman was walking around tell people, Hey, you
Speaker 1: see that book. I'm a lady, me a lady and
Speaker 1: it wasn't really Jane Austen. It was somebody else's taking credit.
Speaker 1: All right, makes me so mad. The next question is
Speaker 1: for you, Kylie. All right, Kylie. It took Lucille and
Speaker 1: Jane a long time to achieve the success they're known for.
Speaker 1: How long did it take for Lucille Ball to earn
Speaker 1: her first movie role after she started acting? Was it
Speaker 1: A six months, B seven years or C thirty five years?
Speaker 1: I want to say, you're exactly right. The answer is
Speaker 1: B seven years. And even after her first film role,
Speaker 1: it was another eighteen years before she was starring in
Speaker 1: her own television show. Lucy played small roles in a
Speaker 1: lot of films and appears on screen next legends like
Speaker 1: Fred Astaire, Katherine Hepburn, and Red Skelton. Now it's back
Speaker 1: to you, Charlie for the next question. All right, Charlie.
Speaker 1: Both Jane and Lucille moved away from their hometowns. Lucille
Speaker 1: moved to New York to pursue acting, while Jane moved
Speaker 1: to bath because A. It had lovely tubs and everything
Speaker 1: smelt nice. B. She won a contest for a free
Speaker 1: house there or See because her parents decided to move
Speaker 1: there and as a single woman, she was not allowed
Speaker 1: to live alone. See that's right. The answer is c.
Speaker 1: Because young women rely on their families for money and
Speaker 1: a place to live, she had no choice but to
Speaker 1: move with their parents to a city she did not like.
Speaker 1: That's right, kids, just like you. Jane Austen did not
Speaker 1: like baths. And the final question of the game is
Speaker 1: for you, Kylie, all right, Kylie. Despite working in entertainment,
Speaker 1: Jane and Lucille both interacted with the government. The Prince
Speaker 1: of Wales asked Jane to dedicate her book Emma to him,
Speaker 1: and in nineteen fifty three, Lucille Ball was called to
Speaker 1: testify in front of what organization after being accused of
Speaker 1: being a communist? Was it A the House Unamerican Activities Committee,
Speaker 1: b the Communist Party or see the Actually I don't
Speaker 1: love Lucy, I just like her a lot club. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: The answer is A the House on American Activities Committee.
Speaker 1: It was a group concerned that communists were sneaking their
Speaker 1: ideas into entertainment and influencing audiences. Lucille met privately with
Speaker 1: the group and was cleared of any wrongdoing. The only
Speaker 1: thing she was influencing people to do was laugh and
Speaker 1: that marked the end of Converge of Greatness. Those were
Speaker 1: some tough questions, but that means it's almost the end
Speaker 1: of the show when we wait for producer Jane to
Speaker 1: tally the points. I'd love to hear some more from
Speaker 1: our contestants, Charlie, Kylie, what's something that you were surprised
Speaker 1: to learn about Jane Austen and Lucille Ball. Kylie, let's
Speaker 1: start with you. Is there anything that really stuck out
Speaker 1: at you or you read it and you were like,
Speaker 1: what about either of our two historic figures? Probably that
Speaker 1: Jane Austen that she didn't for her actual name and
Speaker 1: the books because of ir Jane Austen. Then I would
Speaker 1: happily put my name looks to get famous, but she didn't,
Speaker 1: so that it was a different time back then. Right
Speaker 1: back then, people didn't necessarily want to be famous, whereas
Speaker 1: now I feel like everybody wants to be famous all
Speaker 1: the time. Charlie, was there anything that surprised you were
Speaker 1: stuck out at you about Lucille Ball or Jane Austen.
Speaker 1: I was surprised at how Lucille Ball was actually a
Speaker 1: blonde and her hair was dyed because you think of
Speaker 1: her as having this bright red hair, right, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because she was never she never pretended that she was
Speaker 1: like a natural redhead. I always thought that was interesting
Speaker 1: when she was always like it's from a bottle, like
Speaker 1: she was never shy about it. Yeah, but it does
Speaker 1: make me wonder how many people have their real hair
Speaker 1: color and how many are just lying to us through
Speaker 1: the medium of hair color. You know what, I'm okay
Speaker 1: with that, I say, lie away, I don't know. I
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna start a house hair color activities. Yeah,
Speaker 1: unnatural hair colors. Well, well I'll work on it and
Speaker 1: you will see what the name should be. Well, thank
Speaker 1: you both for those very interesting answers. We really appreciate it.
Speaker 1: And now it's time for the big moment. Jane, could
Speaker 1: you please tell us our winner? I sure can. It
Speaker 1: was an incredibly close competition, but Charlie wins with ten
Speaker 1: quarts a hard fought game. Congratulations Charlie, Kylie, we did
Speaker 1: a great job. Those were some tough questions and everyone
Speaker 1: tried their best and that's the best thing. Charlie, you
Speaker 1: have ten seconds for shoutouts. Go aboard. Who do you
Speaker 1: want to thank? Thank my whole family, especially my Dad,
Speaker 1: because he's the one who got me on the show.
Speaker 1: That's great. Out thank you to him, our winner and
Speaker 1: their library of choice. We were receiving a selection of
Speaker 1: Who Was books, and I'm going to give my own
Speaker 1: shout out to intern Zach, to Jane, Eric Knis n
Speaker 1: B and a big thank you to both of our
Speaker 1: contestants who played a fantastic game. They should both be
