S4 E7 - Holy F*@&ing S#!% We're Married! - a podcast by Quiz and Hers
from 2019-05-27T16:40
The title says it all this time. Your humble cohosts tied the proverbial knot yesterday, so Justin has written six #trivia questions about marriage. We also talk opera, board games, and “marriage” in the animal kingdom. But, most importantly, we finally say “I do”.
2:19: Q1 (Sounds & Screen): The ubiquitous “wedding march” – which we didn’t have at our wedding because f*@& that s#!%! – is actually called the Bridal Chorus, and comes from Lohengrin, an opera by what epic German composer?
12:15: Q2 (Sports & Games): Probably the only board game to feature a space that reads “Stop! Get Married”, what Milton Bradley joint is considered to be America’s first popular parlor game?
18:22: Q3 (Arts & Literature): What painting by Flemish artist Jan van Eyck is thought to depict an Italian merchant and his wife, and may have constituted a somewhat non-traditional marriage contract, witnessed by the artist himself?
28:50: Q4 (Everything Else): What landmark 2015 Supreme Court case made same-sex marriage legal in all 50 US states?
34:59: Q5 (Science): Human marriages sometimes don’t last, but this is only very rarely true of the lifelong, monogamous pair-bonds formed by what family of marine birds, known for their large wingspans, and for featuring prominently in a Wordsworth poem?
40:40: Q6 (Times & Places): Perhaps history’s most famous power couple, what two young royals (and second cousins) were married in Valladolid on October 19, 1469, essentially giving birth to a current European nation, about a year before the birth of their first child?
