FunkQuest season 1 - Quarter Final 3 saw number 7 seed Leana Delle take on number 2 seed Lana Nelson.

The lower ranked Funkster goes first which was Leana.

Q1. Leana picked the car and the question is "What should be compulsary learning in schools?"

A strong chorus of "financial awareness" from both Funksters.

Q2. Lana picked the roller skates and the question is "What was the last live event you went to?"

Lana picked the Siberian Orchestra and Leana picked an evening with Mandy Patinkin (Inigo Montoya from the Princess Bride)

Both very Funky Answers.

Q3. Leana picked the pencils and the question is "What was the last photograph you took?"

Leana answered a picture of some art. Artist Stan Smith - we need to get you on the show.

Lana was a picture of a special cup looking out over the lake.

Q4. Lana picked the concert and the question is "How would you get people to eat more sprouts?"

Lana would make them into a sandwich, put lots of sauces on them.

Leana would just dip them in chocolate.

Q5. Leana picked the fruit jars and the question is "What outdoor activity would you most like to try?"

After a short deliberation, Leana picked parascending - throwing yourself off a cliff.

Lana picked kite surfing.

=======================================

FunkQuest season one playoff Quarter Final between Tiffany Ann Beverlin and Heather Vickery.

Bothe these ladies first round opponents were unavailable so this match up really was a battle of the walkovers.

Being the lowest ranked Funkster (13) Heather got the ball rolling.

Q1. What's the best way to end a conversation.

Bit of a normalite question sneaked it's way in.

Good answer from Heather - to ask a clarifying question. My answer - to sum things up and repeat things.

Going to replace this question - so don't take any notice if you are looking to game the questions.

Q2. Tiffany picked Westminster Bridge and got the magic wand question.

Her magic wand would get rid of cancer - by visiting the supermarket.

Heather was a little more subtle. It would force people to have a third party opinion before they blurt something out.

Sounds a bit like mind control to me but it was a FUNKY answer.

Q3. Heather picked the pencils and the question is "What was the last photograph you took?"

Answer - a tea party and the discussion then moved to real tea leaves or tea bags.

Tiffany took a picture of a cat... riiight...

Q4. Tiffany picked the hand in the air (like you just don't care).

Answering and playing with phones at the dinner table.

Again - this is a normalite question that has crept in. The answer is an obvious NO.

Q5. Heather picked the jars of jam and the question is "What outdoor activity would you like to try?"

Heather picked hot air ballooning and Tiffany picked some kind of massage with men in robes. Heather went for that also...

Being the lower ranked Funkster, Cathy went first.

Q1. The question is "What film can you watch over and over again?"

Cathy picked Shrek. "Quest? I'm already on a Quest..."

Ben had received this question previously but Funkily gave a different answer. VHS recordings of Ironman races from the 1990's..
To marvel at their efforts given the levels of technology they had back then.


Q2. Ben got the magic wand question.

He would get his old dog back and Cathy would get her visa for permanent residence in Australia sorted.

Q3.


Q4. Ben picked the records and the question is "What really needs to be modernised?"

His answer was the US tax system and Cathy's answer was LA international airport.

Q5. The question is "Who would you pay money to see?

Cathy picked Elizabeth Gilbert and Ben picked the Dali Lama

​This final match up of the first round saw number 5 seed Michael Sherlock take preliminary round Funkster Kristen Tsetsi.

Kristen being the lower ranked FUNKSTER went first.

Q1. Kristen picked the books and the question is "Which singer did you mine along to as a teenager? Kristin picked Depeche Mode and a discussion about pierced nose rings cropped up.

Q2. Michael picked the roller blades. The question is "What was the last live event you went to?"

​A discussion about cirque du soleil. (first time they cropped up).

Q3. Kristen picked the train. The question is "Do you plan or go with the flow?"

Q4. Michael went with the bridge. (Something very psychlogical). Michael bought a hat. Picture imposed onto the recording.

Q5. Kristen picked the jars of jam. The question is what outdoor activity would you most like to try. Kristen said none... None that she would like to try... Michael would like to kite surf.

Rustie MacDonald vs Rebecca Norton - Funkquest playoffs - 1st round

===========

Being the lower ranked FUNKSTER, Rebecca went first.

Q1. What are you interested in that most people aren't?

Rebecca went with a TV show and Rustie went with belly dancing. (We moved on to talk about Bhangra dancing and there is a link to that below).

Q2. What was the last live event you went ?

Rebecca went to "ignite your inner potential" and Rustie went to a roller derby.

Q3. Rebecca picked the multi coloured trainer and the question is "When did you last play a board game?"

Rebecca is a word game speed freak and Rustie played dominoes.

Q4. Rustie picked the records and the question is "What really needs to be modernised?"

A discussion about how people talk to each other...

Q5. Rebecca picked the barrel and the question is "Where do you get your news?"

A discussion about the BBC followed.

Number two seed Lana Nelson (Lana from Montana) takes on number four see Nathen Aswell is this latest first round match in the Funkquest end of season playoffs.

Q1. Being a musician, Nathen had his questions selected for him in his regular season epsiode. It was hardly a surprise when the question was

"Which artist or singer did you mine along to as a teenager?"

A discussion about impressionists followed. (Obviously...)

Lana picked Barbara Streisand.

Q2. If you could go back in time, what would you teach people.

Nathen recounted a book from 1885 about a guy who left the busy bustling city and went to live in a tree. (What would he think now...)

Lana talked about nutrition and food.

Q3. The runnning shoes. When did you last play a board game or cards?

Lana played cards at christmas and Nathen talked about backgammon.

(Editors note: It is funny how old school pursuits that cross generations are low tech...)

Q4. What is the most ridiculous thing you have bought?

I think I may have misheard this on the original episode. (FUNKQUEST goes FAST...)

But Lana shared her experience of buying pasties. I think this is an American term for nipple tassles....

Be sure you know what you are letting yourselves in for potential FUNKSTERS.

Q5. Where do you get your news from?

Nathen is a CBC listener and Lana uses a site called Newsy

Tedx speaker and author Leana Delle goes head to head with speaker and author Bryan Falchuk in the end of season playoffs. First round.

Q1 The first appearance in the end of season playoffs for the rainbow.

What are you interested in that most people aren't?

Leana was caught a little cold on this one and we discussed Indie music. Bryan chose insurance. Bryan Falchuk insurace guru.

Q2. Bryan chose the Thames/London scene and with his magic wand - he would want a new body. Very self centred...

Leana, on the other hand would chose to end world hunger. (So long as she had somewhere suitable to stand - and a cape...)

Q3. Leana picked the roller skate and I suspect not for the first time, the mullet cropped up.

A picture of ex England footballer Chris Waddle is below.

Q4. Bryan picked the yellow submarine. The most expensive thing you have broken.

Bryan thought he had disabled the whole broadcast set up of the Boston Redsox.

Leana drove a brand new white car down a freshly tarmac laid road.

Q5. Leana picked the boombox stereo masterblaster.

The question is "Do you think aliens exist?"

The answer from this edition of FUNKQUEST is a resounding "We don't know but it would be foolish to say no"

The Funky Thinkers playoffs continue with number one seed Ben Reuter versus Kat McLead.

The first outing for the big hitting Funksters after the preliminary round.

Number one seed Ben Reuter up against number eight seed Kat Mclead. (Apologies Kat - it doesn't say so in the show).

In this episode

Q1. Crazy Rich Asians (trailer below)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ-YX-5bAs0

vesus no way out (Kevin Costner is a Russian/Soviet spy).

Q2. People who work in nursing and medical generally along with garbage/trash collectors.

We love you and we would love to get one of you on the show.

Contact us.

Q3. Kat modelled the hairstyle she had with hair tied on one side. Ben recounted when he had what we could call the flat top.

Q4. The n+1 theory of bikes (and surfboards and everything else popped up), plus having a $40 kids blow up bath in your nice expensive new bathroom.

Q5. Kat reads the Daily Mail - although it was 2020 resolution to remove the app and stop going down the rabbit hole of celebrity news.

Each morning, Ben skims the New York Times, The Wall Street journal and uses a feed reader app called feedly.

Cathy Weiss vs Dana Pharant is the first match in the first round proper of the Funky Thinkers playoffs.

In this episode, WHO is Jar Jar Binks and do they have cars where he lives?

Bothe Funksters missed the point a little in question 2 (the cassette tape).

But that's what it's like battling under the pressure and trying to win the title, champion Funkster of season one.

The steam train cropped up again and a hybrid, going with the flow and planning seems to be the norm.

Dana admitted to once buying 700 branded pens from an enthusiatic phone salesmen way back in the day.

How many people admit to things like that?

That's what FUNKY THINKERS does for you. Makes you confront stupid mistakes and laugh at them amongst friends.

Cathy would like to try sky diving, Dana rock climbing. Yes "sport climbing" is in the Olympics in Tokyo later in 2020.
