Greek alphabet - Masquerade

10/9/2023
How many examples of Greek letters in pop culture can you think of? Join us alpha-quizzers to find out, but beware: This quiz is classified Omega 17. Sarah hosts trivia nights as Paris Quiz Mistress and Fred Eyangoh is a stand-up comedian based in Paris. Music by Mad98 and production by Célia Brondeau. Do you want to support us? Tip jar here! Transcript: Hi, I'm Fred. And I'm Sarah, aka the Paris Quiz Mistress. We're two friends addicted to trivia, and we're watching rewatching Alias. But this is not an Alias podcast. Every episode, we play general knowledge trivia on a theme. Five quiz questions for you to play along. And the tonic early 2000s by thrillers show starring Jennifer Garner doesn't really matter because this is not an Alias podcast. Welcome back to not an alias. Podcast. Episode 18 masquerade. What a masquerade? It is. Oh, wow. Definitely a lot of action after the recap episode. Are you ready in 60 seconds, if you can, while I jammed a signal, can you recap masquerade for us? Yes, please. All right, you're good to go. So Sydney is doing some rock climbing, which is blatant queer baiting. And then the CIA always knew that Sydney's mom was alive, and then Jack is sad about it and drinks about it. Sydney goes to a masked ball in Vienna, and the guy that was in deep cover is dead. And then the other guy is her former lover. Wow. She had former lovers. And they get the chip from the guy's throat, which was gross. And then they go to find a computer in deepest, darkest Russia, and Jack lies to the Psych. And then there's a cold chamber and a claw bit. I think that's about oh, and then they get it on Bow chicken. Perfect. It's your recap. You mentioned whatever you want. What do you think your quiz is about? No more alias. Is it about chips? Chips and microchips. Chips and dip? No, this time it's about fairly small element that I caught during the episode. Isn't it always? Yeah, I did microstate last time, which is, in a way, the biggest thing I've ever been taking inspiration from. So Sydney and Vaughn are talking, and Sydney's like, give me some information. And Vaughn says even I can't get information because the info is classified. Something something I'm not sure if you're going to remember. No, I'm not. It's classified Omega 17. Oh, it is. You're right. And it cannot have access. So I decided to do a Greek alphabet pop culture quiz. Fabulous. Very good. Question one which character, created by Stanley and Jack Kirby in 1962, owes his sometimes undesirable powers to a laboratory accident involving gamma rays? Is it Spiderman? No, he was bitten by a spider. This specific person was doing a thing in the lab, and then gamma rays blasted him, and then they all have the same story. You know, I'm not a superhero person. Wait, so gamma is the there's not a Greek letter in the answer. No. Undesirable powers. It's a character with a very specific. The. Oh, is it the Green Lantern? It's green. But the Green Hornet. The Hulk. Hey. My God. Why do you do this to Dr. Banner? Bruce. Bruce Banner. Yes. Yes. See, that I knew that I could have done exactly. Question two the name of this actress who won a Tony as well as an Oscar for her role in the Broadway adaptation, contains the name of a Greek letter that sounds like it's late in the alphabet. The Greek alphabet, but it's actually it's six letter. Very good. Okay, you're talking about Chicago and Catherine Zeta Jones. Exactly. Thanks for complimenting the question as you go. Yep. That was good. No, that was good. Unlike the previous question, which was trash. Question three which video recording format developed by Sony in 75 and somehow sold until 2016 was considered pretty much obsolete ten years after its release due to the market dominance of a competing format that became synonymous with a certain type of video recording. So I think the market dominant one would be like the VHS. Indeed. See, I was not in a sorority, and apparently if you're in Greek...
