This week on Unapologetically Us The Podcast, we put our brains to the test with a general knowledge trivia challenge… and the results are exactly what you’d expect.
From geography and history to science, space, sports, and random facts, we see just how much we actually remember from school. Along the way we question ChatGPT, debate whether Antarctica is really a desert, struggle through the planets, and somehow end up having an entire conversation about why English muffins are called muffins.
If you’ve ever yelled answers at a trivia game or realized you forgot something you definitely learned in school, this episode is for you.

SPEAKER_01Yep. And yeah, I don't need to know most of half of this shit.
SPEAKER_03Alright. I have just another um question for you.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Um. What makes an English muffin a muffin not a muffin? Like an English muffin, okay?
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Like the thing that you eat for breakfast. Right. And then you have muffins.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03So why does the English muffin get its name and it doesn't even look like a muffin?
SPEAKER_01The same reason that those fuckers call a biscuit a scone.
SPEAKER_03No. The scones are hard.
SPEAKER_01But no.
SPEAKER_03Yes.
SPEAKER_01They are. Here. But over there, they're not. They're a biscuit. They are our biscuit.
SPEAKER_03They call our fluffy biscuit.
SPEAKER_01A scone. Now I don't know that they're always fluffy over there, but yeah, they call them scones.
SPEAKER_03Have you seen well no, I d I just don't understand why they would call it an English muffin. So I eat the fuck out of them things.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I do too.
SPEAKER_03I like it when I put uh the peanut butter on it, and the peanut butter gets in the nooks and cranny crannies.
SPEAKER_01So but don't they make that with not always though. There's flour ones and corn ones, right? Aren't they?
SPEAKER_03I haven't had a corn one. But the new ones that I've been I've been using is the bayes, and there's regular, there's brioche and sourdough that you can choose. Three different kinds. And let me tell you, them brioche ones.
SPEAKER_01Are they good? I don't know what makes them the difference. Why don't you go on chat GPT and see what it says?
SPEAKER_03You want me to do that right now?
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Because I don't know. I would like to know the difference.
SPEAKER_03The difference or why? It's backwards. I'm new.
SPEAKER_01I know. That's why I was telling you.
SPEAKER_03Why can't I just go on Google?
SPEAKER_01Do whatever you want. I don't care. Just get me an answer. The top results on Google are always AI too, so it doesn't matter.
SPEAKER_03Why is it called an English muffin when it doesn't look like a muffin?
SPEAKER_01Oh my god.
SPEAKER_03They're called English muffins to differentiate them from the sweet cupcake style quick breads Americans already called muffins. The flat yeast leavened round was the original muffin invented in the UK. The cake-like muffin was created later and is largely an American invention, hence why we're fat pieces of shit. Um the original muffin. Muffin men. Okay, the muffin. Oh, the muffin man sold small round griddle-baked yeast breads to the British working class in the UK. Okay. This flatbread is still just called a muffin. So they're flatbreads.
SPEAKER_01They call them muffins over there.
SPEAKER_03What the fuck, man? Like this. Okay, I'm going backwards. I could have said that the other way.
SPEAKER_01And them are so backwards.
SPEAKER_03But we all came from the same whatever. Okay. The American adaptation, the late 1800s, an English immigrant named Samuel Bath Thomas. Thomas's English muffins.
SPEAKER_01Well, I don't think that has anything to do with it.
SPEAKER_03Yes, it does. Absolutely.
SPEAKER_01You think? I mean, they do sell. They do they sell other shit.
SPEAKER_03Who is the maker of Thomas's English muffins?
SPEAKER_01Is it the same name? No.
SPEAKER_03Samuel Bath Thomas in 1880.
SPEAKER_01Okay. Well.
SPEAKER_03Okay, anyway, back to what I was saying. Um, the immigrant Samuel Bath Thomas moved to New York City and began baking these treats using his mother's recipe. I don't think they're treats. I think they're just another vehicle to shove butter or peanut butter or an open-faced breakfast Sammy down my gullet. Uh, the naming strategy, because Americans had already adopted the word muffin for the sweet shape. For the sweet cup-shaped baked goods you buy at coffee shops. Thomas marketed his flat griddle baked bread as an English muffin, which then he later branded them with the famous Nooks and Crannies slogan, making them a breakfast staple. So then little history there.
SPEAKER_01The McDonald's just took off the English and added the Mac.
SPEAKER_03Oh, the Mac muffin?
SPEAKER_01Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_03Do the English call an English muffin just a muffin? Yes, confusingly, muffins, yeah.
SPEAKER_01So what do they call a muffin? What do they call an American muffin?
SPEAKER_03This is on Reddit. So hold on. American muffin?
SPEAKER_01We call a muffin to us.
SPEAKER_03So you want me to ask, what do the English call?
SPEAKER_01An American style muffin. I can still type fast too. This is great. She just got this new computer the other day and has barely like.
SPEAKER_03It was still closed when he got here.
SPEAKER_01She's trying to learn.
SPEAKER_03Okay, in the UK, fluffy sweet cupcake-shaped baked good is simply called a muffin, just like it is in the US. If someone needs to differentiate it from the flatter savory bread, they may call it an American muffin. That doesn't make any sense.
SPEAKER_00To us, but over there, I guess it does.
SPEAKER_03So an English muffin is called a muffin or breakfast muffin or toasting muffin in the UK.
SPEAKER_01Oh.
SPEAKER_03American muffin called a muffin is blueberry muffin, chocolate chip, whatever. But yeah.
SPEAKER_01Okay.
SPEAKER_03Stop yawning. That's completely fucking rude.
SPEAKER_01Well.
SPEAKER_03Unbelievable.
SPEAKER_01Sorry, this is boring as shit.
SPEAKER_03Why? Because you only got 50% correct.
SPEAKER_01Yep, because I suck.
SPEAKER_03Uh next next week you'll have to um you'll have to quiz me.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_03But maybe not just general knowledge, because I'm actually kind of pretty good at that.
SPEAKER_01I'll figure out something, don't worry.
SPEAKER_03Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Don't worry.
SPEAKER_03Don't you worry.
SPEAKER_01You'll fail next week. Or the next time, because they're yeah, we'll figure it out.
SPEAKER_03Great. Y'all have a great week.
SPEAKER_01Peace out. Bye.
