WEBVTT 1 00:00:04.040 --> 00:00:07.240 Welcome aboard Bus one. We're taking a shortcut through New 2 00:00:07.360 --> 00:00:11.320 York City and we've got some time to kill. Let's 3 00:00:11.320 --> 00:00:23.000 play some trivia gamers. Introduce yourselves. Hello, what's up everyone? 4 00:00:23.239 --> 00:00:23.600 It's a. 5 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:28.039 Hey, how's it going. I'm Steven. 6 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:30.679 Howdy? 7 00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:41.119 Sorry they made you do that. Well, I've got another 8 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.960 musical artist shortcut for you today. Our topic is a 9 00:00:46.039 --> 00:00:50.119 Bobby Darren. I love Bobby Darren. We were talking about 10 00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.079 Bobby Darren in the last musical shortcut and so it 11 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:56.359 inspired me to make a Bobby Darren shortcut. 12 00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.520 Can I say how glad I am that it's as 13 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.320 three can test it's here today? And the comments I've 14 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.799 seen this, they've been calling us the Dark Triad. 15 00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:09.640 Really, Sharon, can you confirm that, Sharon. 16 00:01:10.319 --> 00:01:11.200 I've been reading this. 17 00:01:11.480 --> 00:01:13.400 Sharon's actually been calling us the Dark try it. 18 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:15.519 They've been calling us the Trees in this trio. 19 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:17.959 Is this the first appearance of the Dark Triad? 20 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:20.359 Well, we were on the Riddles episode together, but you 21 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:22.680 were the well no, it wasn't you as the host. 22 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.000 It was the Quiddler. 23 00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:27.239 Yes, the Whizzler. I hate that. 24 00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:29.799 Yeah, all Miamis hate the Quizzler. 25 00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:32.439 But he reminded me if you aiden, thanks. 26 00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.200 Let's let's go over the rules. So there are two rounds, 27 00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:39.560 each with four questions, not as long as a typical episode. 28 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:41.840 Questions in round one are worth one point. Questions in 29 00:01:41.920 --> 00:01:44.680 round two are with two points. Each question will be 30 00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:47.879 multiple choice, and I'll give everyone the opportunity to answer 31 00:01:48.040 --> 00:01:51.280 before revealing the correct answer. So in theory, all three 32 00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.439 of you can get a question right, or all three 33 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:54.599 of you can get a question wrong. 34 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:56.840 Super is going to do a full sweep. 35 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.239 I'm calling it streame. 36 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:01.319 Amounts of Bobby Darren. 37 00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.319 I've heard you've just been put on though, so. 38 00:02:03.400 --> 00:02:06.319 Yeah, yeah, a friend recently showed me Bobby Darren. I'm 39 00:02:06.319 --> 00:02:09.759 super excited to delve much deeper into. 40 00:02:09.560 --> 00:02:14.199 The world of Bobby Darren recently. I can count on 41 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:15.759 my fingers how many minutes ago. 42 00:02:21.520 --> 00:02:23.680 The only thing I beg is try not to base 43 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.719 your answer off to someone else's. Try to come up 44 00:02:25.719 --> 00:02:27.479 with the answer in your mind and then and then 45 00:02:27.520 --> 00:02:30.159 say it please. I'm begging. I'm begging. However, if you 46 00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.639 know the answer to a question right away, you can 47 00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:35.360 yell snipe. If you get it dead on, you get 48 00:02:35.400 --> 00:02:38.360 the points and everyone else loses the opportunity to answer, 49 00:02:38.520 --> 00:02:40.840 and if you get wrong, you can't answer the question again. 50 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.800 There's no challenge question. There's never challenge question in these shortcuts. 51 00:02:43.960 --> 00:02:47.199 Most points wins as always were not as always as 52 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:49.879 most of the time. And of course no googling. That 53 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:52.199 sounds sound good. Everyone sounds good. 54 00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:54.840 Snipe only runs Stephen. 55 00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.960 We'll see, we'll see. I think some of these questions, well, 56 00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:01.560 I'm not sure. 57 00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.639 Okay, okay, Well let's start round one. Four questions each 58 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:10.759 worth one point. All right. Question one. Walden Robert Casado 59 00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:13.919 was born in East Harlem, New York City, in nineteen 60 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.000 thirty six. He was the second born child of Vivian 61 00:03:18.120 --> 00:03:21.199 Polly Fernwalden. At least, that's what Bobin thought for most 62 00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:24.280 of his life until he turned thirty two, when Polly 63 00:03:24.360 --> 00:03:28.000 told him a life shattering truth about his true origin. 64 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:32.439 What was that truth? Snipe, Oh, snipe. 65 00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:33.639 I did know this about Bobby Darrek. 66 00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:35.919 The woman he thought of as his mom is actually 67 00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.639 his grandmother, and then like his sister, his actual mom. 68 00:03:39.719 --> 00:03:41.120 It was one of those things. 69 00:03:41.759 --> 00:03:42.879 That is correct. 70 00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:47.560 Yes, that's like one of those weird things like you 71 00:03:47.599 --> 00:03:50.120 see those on like TV or something like that, and 72 00:03:50.159 --> 00:03:51.520 that's an actual Bobby. 73 00:03:51.560 --> 00:03:55.479 That's crazy. So whom Darren thought was his older sister, 74 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:58.879 Nina was actually his mother. Anita had Bobby when she 75 00:03:58.960 --> 00:04:01.560 was just eighteen years old old. She and Polly took 76 00:04:01.560 --> 00:04:05.439 the secret of Bobby's father's identity to the grave. Actually, 77 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:08.199 so Bobby Darren never learned the identity of his father, 78 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:12.759 whoa until or even up to his death, but years 79 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.120 later he was identified as a gangster. 80 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:17.879 That's probably why. 81 00:04:17.959 --> 00:04:20.560 Yeah, that's interesting. I didn't know that A little tit bit. 82 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.639 Nice job, Aiden, You get the point, man, what a snipe? 83 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:30.959 That's Could you imagine Could you imagine, man, your your 84 00:04:31.399 --> 00:04:34.720 your mom sits you down and says, hey, actually i'm 85 00:04:34.839 --> 00:04:38.279 your grandma and your sister is your mother. That would 86 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:39.160 be crazy. 87 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.360 That would agree, like I have a sister. 88 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.319 But also like at the point where how much age 89 00:04:44.360 --> 00:04:47.199 difference is there between eighteen years or did you say that? 90 00:04:47.399 --> 00:04:47.720 Yeah? 91 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:49.639 Yeah, she was eighteen years when she had him. 92 00:04:49.879 --> 00:04:51.720 Yeah, so if you have a sister that's like eighteen 93 00:04:51.800 --> 00:04:53.759 years older than you, that's true. 94 00:04:54.000 --> 00:04:55.199 How probably moved away? 95 00:04:56.079 --> 00:04:57.720 Like something here is fishy? 96 00:04:57.839 --> 00:04:59.800 Well, I guess the one thing I couldn't find was 97 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:04.759 how involved Nina was in the raising of Bobby in 98 00:05:04.800 --> 00:05:07.839 that did she stay at home or did she like 99 00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:12.639 do other things while her mother I don't know that 100 00:05:12.759 --> 00:05:13.360 for sure, but. 101 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:17.199 Interesting, probably like one of those like classic teenage pregnancy 102 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:19.720 things where it's like the grandmother is like really the parent? 103 00:05:19.839 --> 00:05:20.079 Yep? 104 00:05:20.120 --> 00:05:21.399 Classic? 105 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:22.720 Would you say his name was? 106 00:05:23.279 --> 00:05:27.959 His full name is Walden Robert Cassato. Before we move 107 00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:29.399 on to the next question, let me give you the 108 00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:31.759 wrong choices that I was about to give you because 109 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.000 some of them were a little funny. Hey, Bobby had 110 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:36.680 been secretly adopted by Polly because he was the result 111 00:05:36.759 --> 00:05:41.279 of a priest in a nun's illicit affair. B Polly 112 00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:43.959 was actually Bobby's aunt, and his mother had been killed 113 00:05:43.959 --> 00:05:45.920 by his father, who was a gangster. And then the 114 00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:49.199 other wrong answer was Polly found Bobby as a baby 115 00:05:49.279 --> 00:05:52.120 left on her doorstep, and she decided to take Bobby 116 00:05:52.160 --> 00:05:52.839 in as her own. 117 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:54.480 Interesting. Those are all very good. 118 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:58.519 All right, let's go to question two. Now. I want 119 00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:01.120 to talk a little bit about the elephant in the room. 120 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:03.279 So we're going to go way, We're going to go 121 00:06:03.439 --> 00:06:07.079 way Forwarday, So before we go over his life and career, 122 00:06:07.240 --> 00:06:09.120 let's take a step back and let's look at it 123 00:06:09.160 --> 00:06:11.279 as a whole. So we of course know that Bobby 124 00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.959 Darren's life was not long, as he would die at 125 00:06:14.000 --> 00:06:17.120 the age of thirty seven. Unfortunately, what you might not 126 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:21.040 know is he was actually aware of that possibility. Darren 127 00:06:21.079 --> 00:06:24.240 was born rather frail and with serious health effects, mainly 128 00:06:24.519 --> 00:06:27.639 rheumatic fever, so he grew up knowing actually that he 129 00:06:27.720 --> 00:06:30.360 might not live long. He heard from his doctor. I 130 00:06:30.360 --> 00:06:34.160 think he overheard that he was to die, most likely 131 00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:36.600 at the age of sixteen. Wow, So he knew as 132 00:06:36.600 --> 00:06:39.360 a small child that he wasn't going to live very long. 133 00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.120 But obviously he lived older than sixteen, and so many people, 134 00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:47.439 including myself, kind of subscribed to the theory that the 135 00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:50.759 reason why throughout the course of his career he did 136 00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.920 a wide variety of different genres and styles of music 137 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.399 is because he kind of knew that his life wasn't 138 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:59.560 going to be super long, and so he wanted to 139 00:06:59.639 --> 00:07:01.720 try and do a bunch of different things and have 140 00:07:01.839 --> 00:07:04.120 mastery over a bunch of different kinds of music. 141 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:04.839 HM. 142 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:09.040 Anyways, along those lines, here's the question too of the 143 00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:12.839 following musical styles, which is one that Bobby did not 144 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.560 make an album of interesting So he did a bunch 145 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.000 of different genres. Which of the following did he not 146 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.519 make an album of A an operatic album, be a 147 00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:27.040 folk album, see a jazz or big band album, D 148 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:30.439 A gospel album, or E a country album. 149 00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.160 Now that you say that Bobby Darren's voice for opera, 150 00:07:33.439 --> 00:07:35.560 if that exists, I would love to hear that. 151 00:07:36.079 --> 00:07:38.000 Is that. I feel like it would work very well. 152 00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:41.839 Opera, folk, jazz, slash, big band, gospel, and country. 153 00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:43.480 He never did. 154 00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.639 He never did. Jazz never happened. 155 00:07:46.839 --> 00:07:49.800 I'm gonna say folk music. 156 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:50.399 Okay. 157 00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:54.160 I don't know a lot of older artists did like 158 00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:57.920 gospel stuff. But you know, I think maybe the gospel one, 159 00:07:58.040 --> 00:07:59.839 you know, that would be easy to throw in if 160 00:07:59.879 --> 00:08:02.959 you didn't do that. Okay, So I'm gonna say maybe 161 00:08:03.040 --> 00:08:03.959 hiding in plain sight? 162 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:05.120 What do you think? 163 00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:06.079 I think? 164 00:08:06.240 --> 00:08:06.600 I don't know? 165 00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:09.279 Gospel? To me felt like, you know, there's no way. 166 00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.199 But then maybe that's the reason why, Like that's a 167 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:14.279 little like misdirect over there. 168 00:08:14.839 --> 00:08:17.399 So just a game series wise, I was thinking. 169 00:08:17.120 --> 00:08:20.240 Either opera or folk, and I'm a big fan of that. 170 00:08:20.319 --> 00:08:21.600 I don't want to choose the same one as you, 171 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:22.399 So I'm gonna say. 172 00:08:22.240 --> 00:08:30.279 Opera and is correct, he should do he should get 173 00:08:30.279 --> 00:08:30.519 on that. 174 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:36.279 Actually, yeah, they could do opera. 175 00:08:37.519 --> 00:08:41.120 No he so he did gospel pretty soon after he 176 00:08:41.279 --> 00:08:43.639 So the last thing that he did actually was gospel 177 00:08:44.279 --> 00:08:48.799 was after I think the order effectively was rock and roll, jazz, 178 00:08:49.840 --> 00:08:51.840 country folk, and then. 179 00:08:51.720 --> 00:08:53.559 Gospel, rock and roll like Aerosmith. 180 00:08:53.799 --> 00:09:00.639 No, not like Aerosmith. Don't get me started. Don't get 181 00:09:00.679 --> 00:09:06.519 me start. Oh, I'm getting rage bated before I get 182 00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:11.320 rage bated. Let's move on to question three. Early on, 183 00:09:11.639 --> 00:09:14.240 Bobby showed a talent for music. By the time he 184 00:09:14.320 --> 00:09:17.679 was a teenager, he could play several instruments. He graduated 185 00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:20.600 from the prestigious Bronx High School of Science and then 186 00:09:20.720 --> 00:09:25.039 enrolled at Hunter College and soon gravitated to the drama department. 187 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.000 After only two semesters, he dropped out to pursue a 188 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:31.559 career in Broadway and recording music. He started out writing 189 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:36.080 uncredited jingles and songs actually, then negotiated a short contract 190 00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:38.960 with Decca Records. When he started working with Decca, he 191 00:09:39.000 --> 00:09:42.639 took on the name Bobby Darren. But what inspired the 192 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.679 name Darren? So Bobby comes from his middle name, Robert. 193 00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.440 But where did Darren come from? 194 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:48.840 So? 195 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:51.679 Where did he get his Where did he get his 196 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:56.120 stage name? That's my question for where did Darren come from? 197 00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:59.000 Is it a Bobby borrowed the surname of his high 198 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:02.159 school music teacher, who encouraged his love for music. B 199 00:10:02.679 --> 00:10:05.600 a local DJ, recommended the name because he thought his 200 00:10:06.039 --> 00:10:10.159 real name was too ethnic sounding. See he was inspired 201 00:10:10.159 --> 00:10:13.080 by a Chinese restaurant sign that said Mandarin, but the 202 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:16.600 man was out or d. It was a variation of 203 00:10:16.759 --> 00:10:20.039 daring to make his sound his name sound more exciting. 204 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:21.200 He's Bobby exciting. 205 00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:22.000 That was my guess. 206 00:10:22.000 --> 00:10:23.919 Actually, if I were to say that, I would have guessed 207 00:10:23.919 --> 00:10:27.159 something closer to d something that Bobby Daring. 208 00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:31.320 The restaurant sign is so funny. But I'm going to 209 00:10:31.399 --> 00:10:33.639 say it's the ethnic sounding radio. 210 00:10:33.399 --> 00:10:36.679 DJ, right, the racist DJ. 211 00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:41.240 Yeah, well I know that. For example, Leonardo DiCaprio, like 212 00:10:41.320 --> 00:10:45.279 before his career started, like his Hollywood like guy who 213 00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:47.120 was like trying to get him apart, was like, you 214 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:49.440 need to have a stage name that sounds more English 215 00:10:49.480 --> 00:10:59.039 because Leonardo DiCaprio is like too ethnic. Frank, Yeah, yeah, 216 00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:01.960 a lot of like Allian people early on, and like 217 00:11:02.039 --> 00:11:04.879 the thing, we're like, you have to change your name. 218 00:11:05.200 --> 00:11:08.120 Right, we're talking about Italian people in New York City 219 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.960 right now, just a just a nick. 220 00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:14.759 I mean, if no one's choosing the Mandarin one, I 221 00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:20.759 got to choose one of you is correct, and it 222 00:11:20.799 --> 00:11:21.840 is Stephen. 223 00:11:24.759 --> 00:11:27.759 It was so there was a there was a Chinese 224 00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.399 restaurant sign like that he always passed by and the 225 00:11:30.440 --> 00:11:33.279 man was out, so just said Darren and he's like, oh, 226 00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:34.399 that would be a good last name. 227 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:37.480 Did you know that? That's actually how Stephen got his name. 228 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:40.480 His name is actually just Steve. And then he walked 229 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.080 by a Chinese restaurant and said Mandarin. 230 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.080 But only the end was. 231 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:52.519 I was like, I'm taking that genius, genius, Stephen.

It had previously been sung by Louis Armstrong, 344 00:17:22.119 --> 00:17:24.920 but the song is actually quite older, being written in 345 00:17:25.079 --> 00:17:29.119 nineteen twenty eight. The original version of the song was not, however, 346 00:17:29.279 --> 00:17:32.359 the big band jazz piece that we know of it today. 347 00:17:32.440 --> 00:17:33.119 What was the. 348 00:17:33.039 --> 00:17:37.200 Song's original genre of music before Louis Armstrong then Bobby 349 00:17:37.279 --> 00:17:38.119 Darren recorded it? 350 00:17:38.359 --> 00:17:41.599 Okay, snipe, snipe?

You're right folk? Is that it's 379 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:14.720 a fifty to fifty rag time or cabaret. How much 380 00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:16.359 do you know about your history. 381 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:18.400 Of Oh now I know, I don't know much about 382 00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:19.720 history of anything ever. 383 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:25.359 That okay, I to extrapolate extreme, So I have. 384 00:19:26.680 --> 00:19:30.559 Mortal cabaret or rag time. If I did have to 385 00:19:30.599 --> 00:19:32.079 say cabaret, you are correct. 386 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.480 Secret. I'm glad it is cabaret. 387 00:19:35.799 --> 00:19:36.200 Nice. 388 00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:38.839 So here's something that's really cool about it. It is 389 00:19:39.200 --> 00:19:42.480 a murder ballad from the Three Penny Opera, which was 390 00:19:42.519 --> 00:19:46.079 a Weimer era German cabaret show. A fun fact, but 391 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:48.960 the song was actually a last minute addition to the show. 392 00:19:49.599 --> 00:19:51.200 That's what I was going to say, Yeah, which is 393 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.400 pretty cool and that so it might not have ever happened. 394 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:57.079 Another fun fact, but it is the kind of music 395 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.960 and era that the Broadway Cabaret, The broad Show Cabaret 396 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:01.720 is based off of. 397 00:20:02.119 --> 00:20:06.880 Yeah, okay, I wanted to say, for extrapolating on the 398 00:20:06.960 --> 00:20:10.519 last minute edition, it's because like the main actor who 399 00:20:10.559 --> 00:20:12.519 is going to play Mac, who is like the main 400 00:20:12.640 --> 00:20:16.119 character slash anti hero. He's like a serial killer in 401 00:20:16.160 --> 00:20:19.160
