Shownotes Transcript

Hello, everyone. I'm Dr. Nicole Sapphire, and it's time to take the quiz, Mother's Day edition. This is the quiz. History, pop culture, science, sports, civics. How much do you know? Let's find out. ♪

Five days a week, it's five questions in less than five minutes. We ask people on the streets of New York City to play along. Let's see how you do. Question one. In the book The Scarlet Letter, Hester Prynne and her daughter, Pearl, are ostracized by their Puritan community. What scarlet letter is she forced to wear on her chest? A.

That's right. It's the letter A. Question two. Mother's Day became a national holiday on May 9th, 1914. Who was the president who established the holiday? Bush. FDR. Van Buren.

That would be Woodrow Wilson. So how are you doing so far? Are you doing great? Not so great? Don't worry about it. Let's keep going. On to question three. In the Friday the 13th film series, antagonist Pamela Voorhees seeks vengeance for the negligent death of her son Jason. What is the name of the camp at which he drowned? Camp Witchy Maka. I never saw Crystal Lake.

The correct answer, Camp Crystal Lake. Question four. Ronald Reagan had five children. His eldest three children include Maureen, Christine, who died shortly after birth, and Michael, who was adopted. Who was their mother? I could swear her name, her first name is Maureen, but I don't know. I'd love to say Marilyn Monroe. Nancy Reagan? If you guessed actress Jane Wyman, you'd be correct.

And now, the moment we've all been waiting for. Question 5.

Following the American Revolution, mothers in the United States were expected to raise their children with patriotic values. What is the term used to describe this ideology? Live long and prosper. I don't know. Patriotism? I'm nothing. Close, but not quite. The answer? Republican motherhood. So how did you do on the quiz? Did you do good? Not so great? Either way, you can always try again tomorrow.
