What is the Retro episode’s theme and why are the hosts revisiting old tests?
This is the Roz and Mocha Retro Show. Yes, queens! Now, in full transparency, we are recording this at a time on the eve of game six of the World Series. So we have no idea if the Jays won or if they lost.
It's all good.
It's all good. We're just going to operate on the fact that they won. So go Blue Jays! And I want to stand this off. I want it all. Oh, come on now. I want it all. And I want it now. So we should start this retro podcast off by saying, firstly, congratulations to Tim and Lori. He worked his...
I thought you were applauding the Jays. That's
why I
was playing along.
No one should
ever clap for themselves.
No, no, we can do that because, again, we're operating on the fact that we think the Jays won. All right? We're going to say that the Jays won. Congratulations to you for the weeks upon weeks upon weeks of very hard work during the World Series and the playoffs for the Jays. Incredible work. You were down in L.A. You've been at the Rogers Center. You were there either... Friday night or Saturday
night. The 18 inning game. Oh my
God. Yeah. The 18 inning marathon. Shout out to you for all the coverage. Great, great job, dude. Thank you so much. Absolutely, brother. What are we doing on the retro podcast today? Okay. All right. We've had enough. What's on the Retro Podcast for today? Okay, have
you ever done an IQ test? Never, actually. No. Do you think you would do well? I think so. I think I'd do all right. Yeah? Yeah. Well, back in 2015, Roz found an IQ test.
Oh, no, dude. And we did it. Oh, no. The results I can only imagine. Let's listen. Roz and Mocha, Retro 2015. I
came across this huge article on IQ tests. And it was written a couple years ago because the way – when you grew up when we grew up, IQ was something that was relied on heavily. What's your IQ? He's got an IQ of this. Like you would see people on TV. They'd be guests on Phil Donahue. This guy has an IQ of 178. Sure. Like IQ was IQ. And then the more research they've done over the years, they've realized that simple IQ tests are just absolute nonsense. Right. And what somebody's IQ number is, is absolute nonsense because they were originally focused on race and where people grew up in socioeconomics. And the questions asked in IQ tests did not cover all the aspects of what somebody uses to define intelligence.
Like simple things like memory.
Those
aren't an IQ questions, right? IQ test questions. But I came across two questions from IQ tests that I wanted to give to you guys, or at least Maury this morning. They are very, very, very simple questions from IQ tests. You ready for this, Maury? Okay. And if you're in the car right now, too, you don't need to write anything down, really. Okay. We'll just test this. Sure. You're all set, Maury?
Go
ahead. Okay. Do you know what your IQ is, Maury? No.
Not that
it matters anymore, but
you have no idea? Do they do that in Canada?
Yeah. What do you think your IQ is?
The number that tells people. Yeah, the number.
How did Roz’s 2015 IQ test for Maury work and what was the first brain‑teaser?
I have no idea. I'd say something along the lines of like 100. Okay. Fair enough. Fair enough. Okay, Maury,
you ready?
Yeah.
The day after the day after tomorrow is four days before Monday. What day is it today?
The day after the day after the day after tomorrow.
Okay, let me
read it. Hold on. Okay. Monday, Sunday, Saturday. Today's Wednesday.
Incorrect. The day after the day after tomorrow is four days before Monday. What day is it today?
Monday. What day? Monday. Correct. I guessed.
Oh!
So you have no idea, right? Well, I did humps and then I put the number four and
I'm like... Day
humps? Well, you did three and that's four days before would be Monday. I'm like, totally they're going for Monday.
Okay. But do
you know how you get Monday out of that? Three. Right. And then four, and then Monday. So five, and then it's four days before.
Hold on, read the question again. Okay, the day after the day after tomorrow is four days before Monday. What day is it today? So work the problem in reverse more. So,
okay. So
start with the end. Start with Monday, the end.
Yes.
Then go back four days because you know that to
be exact.
Sunday, Saturday, Friday,
Thursday.
