​What is FunkQuest ?
FunkQuest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.
Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.
Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.
We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.
We call this FUNK.

The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!
You get to hear new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

What is FunkQuest ?

FunkQuest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.

Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.

Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.

We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.

We call this FUNK.

The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

You get to hear new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.

Funkquest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.

Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.

Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.

We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.

We call this FUNK.

The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

You get to hear new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.

To make sure you never miss a FunkQuest episode - click https://funkythinkers.com/youtube

What did you think ? Leave a comment

The questions the funksters tackled are below.

What was the best dining experience you have ever had?,

How many piercings do you have?,

What was your proudest moment?,

How much of something is too much?,

What was the last TV series you binge watched?,

Where is the best place to find you at 10am on a Sunday Morning?,

When was the last time you said "I told you so",

What smal changes led to a big difference?,

Question 1

Rustie decided on the 'Punk Rocker'

Where is the best waterpark you went to? Living in Florida Rustie is able to access quite a few Disney attractions and 'Paradise Island' is probably the best Waterpark. She doesn't go on the waterslides as she is a bit chicken, but is happy to observe others.

Karina chose to go with the same Question

Where is the best waterpark you went to In Corfu, Karina goes to 'Aqualand' - it has a 'Lazy River' inflatable rings ride which flows through the Park as well as a 'Wave' pool. In England when she was younger she was hurt in on a waterslide ride and doesn't go on them any more.

Question 2

Karina picked the 'Tuxedo'

Where do you visit on the internet at the start of each day? At 10am every morning Karina is on the internet for work purposes checking messages and notifications. For leisure she joins 'wotpad/com' where you can type up, write and read stories.

Rustie chose the 'Camel'

Which of the major theme parks would you most like to go to? The theme park Rustie would like to go to would be 'Bush Gardens' but Thailand would be her 'go to' destination for its stunning scenery, colour and food.

Question 3

Karina decided on the 'Cartoon planet'

What brand are you most loyal to? There is a large British community in Corfu so Karina finds it quite easy to access the'AVON' brand of cosmetics. She especially likes the perfume 'Rare Gold' and is known by its scent. She has no clothes fashion brands and wears what is comfortable for her.

Rustie chose the 'football'

What old person things do you do? Rustie likes an early night and doesn't' stay up past 9pm. She doesn't like driving at busy times and she generally reduces her speed. She pretends to meditate after being out and coined the phrase 'Old person Hypocrisy' a duality of personality when you feel you have no more effort to give but you try to be loving.

Question 4

Karina picked the 'Random colours'

Who is your favourite artist? Choosing artists from different genres, Karinas' favourites are; The Author S.E.Hinton (The outsiders) Any Rock Band of the 1980's Leonardo DaVinci

Rustie picked the small boat

Who takes charge of the TV remote? Rustie has not had a television for 16 years and only rarely goes on YouTube. She feels that the TV is like a drug, in that it makes people forget communication and responsibility, it is addictive and is the reason why society is so angry, it also promotes fear and anxiety and could be the downfall of humanity Instead of love and community it stirs up all that we are afraid of.

Question 5

Karina chose the 'Wedding'

How many lullabies do you know? A minute of singing later and Karina had come up with 6 Rustie added another 1. A short discussion followed about the Brothers Grimm and their collection of folklore and fairy tales, which, along with lullabies, are in truth, really quite scary.

Rustie decided on the 'Table football'

When did you just have to keep your mouth shut? Rustie mimed keeping her mouth shut. She says her 'filter' left about 10 years ago and if she doesn't bite her tongue she can be very scathing.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47516700Mon, 22 Nov 2021 12:13:07 +0000Funky ThinkersIn this episode of FunkQuest, fairy tales, not having a TV and Avon cosmetics (remember them?)

Question 1

Jean chose the Bicycle

What difference do Zodiac Signs make to you?
She felt that they made no difference to what she does in her life, occasionally looks at them on the internet. When younger she read them in womens magazines.Her birthday is coming up and she knows she is a Scorpio -overall great people

Randi picked the Street Circus
Where do you get pampered?
The Gym seems a funny place to get pampered but as a Kick Boxer Randi enjoys being there. With helmets and nose guards to keep safe the exercise is just a lot of fun.

Question 2

Jean settled on the childs feet

What about the opposite sex confuses you the most?
Communicating with each other seems to be the hardest thing. Deciding where to go for dinner is still difficult after 20 years of marriage. Where do you want to go? - I don't know where do you want to go?.

Randi chose the Pool Table

When was the last time you said never?
Randi says she doesn't like to talk in absolutes 'Never' and 'Always' are words she avoids as there is always a chance that something will happen.

Question 3

Jean decided on the peaceful Sunset

Where do you keep all your tools?
Having recently moved from an old 6 bedroomed house to a low mainteneace 2 bedroom apartment jean had got rid of all her tools except for a few screwdrivers which she keeps in her linen cupboard.

Randi Picked the Lime drink

How would you define yourself?
Used to being on podcasts and talkshows Randi has answered this question quite often. She is; an author,a speaker and mental health advocate, but more than that a very crazy creative person.

Question 4

Randi - in fairness - got to choose first - the Pencil Crayons

What do you think the New York Times Headline will say on this day in ten years?
'Remember the beginning of the Pandemic' was her final answer, although what 'wave' we might still be living with it in, would be questionable.

Jean chose the Mountain Scene

Which is the best Rollercoaster ride?
In the city of Charlotte in North carolina "Carrow Winds" holds a very scary rollercoaster. Jean however would not be riding it at all as it makes her stomach churn just looking at it. Going Up might be ok but the Down bit no thankyou.

Question 5

Randi chose the Dancer

Where do you go to meet new people?
Randi goes on different podcasts to meet people or invites them onto her own podcast the 'Write or Die Show'. In January at her Kick Boxing Gym there is an influx of new people to meet as they arrive to fulfil their New Years resolutions.

Jean picked the Car Wheel

How do you flirt?
Fluttering her eyelashes, Jean explained that she flirts with her husband occasionally and sometimes her Southern friendliness can be mistaken for flirting when she smiles or winks at people.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/47439747Mon, 15 Nov 2021 12:03:32 +0000Funky ThinkersIn this episode of FunkQuest, flirting, kickboxing and signs of the zodiac Question 1 Jean chose the Bicycle What difference do Zodiac Signs make to you?

Funking up was newcomer and number 16 JR Reed.

We still do ladies first on FunkQuest, and in any event, it was good to show the new guy the ropes.

Question 1

Barb chose the row of bikes.

Where do you keep your trophys/medals/certificates?

Barb confessed that she was the kind of person that never won any medals trophies or certificates as a child (or adult).

But that if she ever won FunkQuest, the trophy (or lack of) would have pride of place in her house.

JR chose that most American of things. The big red car.

Who would you want with you in the nuclear bunker?

We agreed that this would be for a couple of hundred years at least so the correct choice is required.

JR picked the rapper Snoop Dog and a porn star. (Probably a bad combination...)

Question 2

Barb picked the Daffodils.

Who would you want to be the narrator of your life story?

Barb picked her partner on the FunkQuest tag team challenge, Liverpool's finest Phil Pelucha.

JR picked the pen and paper.

How many capital cities have you been to?

There was a good initial confirmation from JR - did we mean state capitals or national capitals?

He recounted Monaco, Tel Aviv (right before the 1979 The Egypt–Israel treaty signed by Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin.

Question 3

Barb picked the plastic yoghurt pots

When did someone apologise to you?

After going to a family event the day before, Barb said her children were the last people to apologise (for being tired...)

Great kids...

JR picked the cake.

Which job won't exist in a years time?

JR has a Samsung dishwasher which has malfunctioned and the customer service support is via text.

So, after a short discussion, any kind of customer service or interaction with the public.

Question 4

Barb picked the football (after a discussion, of course with North Americans about what they actually called this).

How many takes aways did you have last month?

Barb said one. Pizza. They were trying out the Uber Eats app.


JR picked the haunted house.

How many times a week do you hoover up?

JR said it depended on the weather. He lives in a log cabin in Missouri.

Question 5.

Barb picked the bevy of swans.

Where is the comfiest place you have ever been?

Barb recounted a hotel in Salt Lake City with a bed and bedroom over looking the mountains.

JR picked the Umbrellas

Where do you prefer to watch something? Live or on TV?

Being autistic, JR said he needed to watch for noise, bright lights and too many sensory stimulations.


​What is FunkQuest ?

Funkquest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.

Funksters (players) view a board containing 20 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.

Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.

We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.

We call this FUNK.

The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

You get to hear new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.

Barb was first to chose from the FunKQuest Board and choosing the '​Ballerina feet' meant that Phil had to answer the question - "What job would an octopus be good at?" ​His answer 'a Chef' especially with all the pots it would have to fling around

Ann as head of the pink team chose Leana to answer the question - "What are you embarressed about being good at?" ​ Not being embarressed but being 'looked down upon' Lean​a found it difficult to show off her handyman skills to men​.

Question 2 and B​arb chose the 'Pegs' icon. She says she has a 'mental escape hatch' when she finds herself wishing she was somewhere else.

Ann Chose the 'Horse' Icon and revealed that she drinks 4 pints of water a day, which is a very ​healthy thing to do.

​Phil was chosen by Barb to answer the third question. He would never 'accidentally' steal something. He describes himself as a '​Wisdom Magpie' - only good if you never actually use the wisdom on the person you got it from.

Lean​a has; learnt how to draw using charcoal, learnt how to stop it smearing, learnt how to package her pictures and learnt how to use her payment app. Just in this last week?

Question 4 was answered by Barb for her team. She chose the 'Hedgehog' icon and we found out that she doesn't like to yell - at leat not at people - but inanimate objects beware!

Ann doesn't like to show her age but the most historic things she has seen in her lifetime gives us an idea.

Barb generously gave, the final question for her team, to Phil to answer. His love of chicken meant that the animal he would bring back from extinction was the DoDo. He really loves his chicken!

Question 5 for the pink team and Ann passed the question about books to her author friend Leana to answer (of course).

Barb was beaten in the semi final but has agreed to return as 'Sheriff' due to unforseen circumstances. So they play again in this FunkQuest Season 3 Grand Final.

Barb was first to choose an Icon. Her answer to the question was that generally she is very easy to shop for, as she loves opening presents regardless of what is inside. She is not very good at telling others what to buy for her.

Question 1 for Lisa she chose the' baby shoes' Icon and explained that the last song she danced to was part of a compilaton album of 'Soul Train'. She was dancing in her bathroom to Stevie Wonder.

Barb was very happy to answer the next question about dealing with 'cold callers'. When the caller is a person, she likes to keep them talking. Robot callers, not so much.

Lisa did not have to name her Craziest relative, in case they were listening but she described the sort of person who always is in the middle of everything, no matter what the topic they have done it, seen it, tried it, started it, finished it. I am sure we all have one of these.

Question 3, Barb chose the 'Puffin' Icon and revealed that she was 16 when she got her first bank card. For a couple of years she was dilligent in making sure it always had five dollars in the account.

Having been there and seeing animals in their natural habitat and the glory of the scenery, Lisa was able to answer 'Where should everyone go at least once?' with a great deal of enthusiasm.

Barb decided in her fourth answer that the record she really wanted to break was that of 'How many times you can lose on FunkQuest but still get to play again.' Not a real record but fun anyway.

Lisa chose the 'Sumo Wrestlers' Icon. 'Have you ever had your palm read' was the question and she answered that when she went to India she had done it. The palm reader left her with more questions than answers.

'How would you describe humanity to Aliens?' was the final question for Barb. If the aliens were intent on world domination she would explain about the diseases we carry or try to tell them about love and fear or even try to bargain with bits of the world.

Final Question of the game was for Lisa and the circus act she would love to take part in is the 'Spinning circle' which the ladies of the 'Cirque de Soleil' do their acrobatics in.

You get to hear; new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

In this second Semi Final match of FunkQuest Season 3 you will see a familiar face - Barb Braendlein. Barb was also a player in ​the first semi final of this season and ​ ​​ has agreed to be the Sheriff for this second round as a player did not turn up.

Barb chose the first Icon and therefore answered question 1 - 'How fast can you learn something new? This all depends on how much she wants to learn the thing. If she is interested in it she is usually a quick study.

The 'dinosaur' Icon was chosen by Jean for her first question and we found that while not using paper maps she uses 'google maps' religiously, even when going on short journeys. She can get lost quite easily.

Barb revealed that if she was a vegetable she would be a Leek. Filled with tasty goodness on the white end of the root.

Jean said that she often feels foolish when talking and answering questions online. She may often look foolish, to some people, when getting involved with young children and reading books but she doesn't mind that.

Question 3 and Barb chose the 'Swiss Army Knife' icon. If she was to invent something, ​ it would be crutches that do not make your shoulders hurt. Her recent foot problem has ​meant, ​weight movement through hands and shoulders has been painful.

'What word do you always spell wrong?' led to Jean, Barb and Jonathan discussing ​ words that are easily spelt incorrectly.

Barb next revealed that she' tells herself off' when she realises that she could have said something different after meeting with people she should really know.

Jean chose the 'butterfly' icon and the last time she went swimming was over a year ago. She is not a great swimmer but loves to go to the beach and swim in the sea.

For her final Question Barb had to revel who would be her 'deputy'. She would choose her sister for this role as she seems to be good at everything she does.

The final question of the game was for Jean. She chose the 'giraffe' icon ​and answered the question 'What is the oddest thing you have seen in public? Her answer shows that there are lots of odd things to see in this world.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/42275626Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:52:53 +0000Funky ThinkersFunkQuest - Season 3 - semi final 2 - Barb Braendlein v Jean Robor In this second Semi Final match of FunkQuest Season 3 you will see a familiar face - Barb Braendlein.

​In this, the first Semi - Final of FunkQuest Season 3, both Barb and Lisa, ​are fighting to maintain their unbeaten status. However, only one of them can reach the final!

Lisa answered question 1 after choosing the 'glasses of wine' icon. With no experience of the job she was assigned, after a great interview, to a boss who was really too busy to help his struggling apprentice.

Barb confessed that, because of her broken foot and having to walk with crutches, the most exciting thing that was happening at the moment was being able to wash her hair.

Lisa explained in her ​Question 2 that the thing that 'makes here roll her eyes' was someone saying 'Yes, but...' in answer to a request. The 'but' is usually a big one Why not just say no.

Barb ​is not going to be jumping anywhere at the moment and especially not the ​queue, but she is not a queue jumper anyway. It ​annoys her when cars go fast to get in front of the line and try to merge in.

​The place Lisa would love to visit is one of the areas of the world which still contain Gorilla families, in the hope that she can get close while they ignore her.

Barb chose the 'Shoes' icon for her third question, '​Which planet would you like to visit?' and not being that ambitious to go anywhere out of this world, staying on Earth works for her​.

​We can stop using more than we need, by not buying more than we need. Lisa has a great ​wardrobe idea and a way to give stuff away.

Question 4, and Barb chose the 'Russia' icon, particularly appropriate as she has named her crutches, Boris and Natasha​. In answer to the question asked, she would like to invite her n​eighbours over for a drink as long as it's not alcoholic.

​Lisa chose the​'Paint' icon for her final question. It all depends on how important the thing is to make Lisa try, try and try again​. And if she can't do it she is not afraid to ​'Phone a friend'.

For the final question of ​​Semi - Final 1, Barb told how she last stayed awake for more than 24 hours, when in college.

​Lisa and Ginger ​(​Orange team)were the first to go in this Semi-Final 2 Episode of FunkQuest Tag Team Challenge.

Lisa, as head funkster of her team chose the 'Lion' icon. The question; ​ 'Who comes when you call?' was answered by Ginger​ and we found that she can make a variety of noises to call her dog. ​

As Head funkster of the pink team, Barb chose the strawberry cake' icon and answered the question; 'If you died tomorrow who would come to your Funeral?' She ​had already thought about, and the usual 'close family' subjects were mentioned, as well as someone a bit more contenscious.

Second ​question- and Lisa revealed her love of her first car. With it she became a real party animal.

Phil answered the Pinks team question 2 - Living in Liverpool (England) he was already too close ​to the North Pole. He can't deal with being cold and travels to hot countries to stay warm. He has been known to wear 'Long​johns' beneath his suit at work.

Ginger wishes that she could play the piano. ​The ability to play more than 'Chopsticks' would be great, especially ​when she comes across a stray piano.

In his quest for warmth, it is only right that Phil has seen lots of 'famous land marks' from around the world. What are they? Watch the video to find out

Lisa answered her question four- 'When was the last time you drank a pint of milk?' and exclaimed she belived she was 'lactose intolerant'. Milky drinks of any kind are out and now so is coffee. She is feeling great.

​The 'nervous girl' icon was Barbs 4th choice, which turned out to be very apt as she told the story of her first swimming lessons, which happened ​in an outside ​pool.

Question 5 for the orange team was answerd by Ginger. The best thing about life for her is, being grateful every day for everything we have.​

Wayne chose the 'guitar' icon for his first question 'How do you see yourself physically?' He sees himself as very sexy (ha ha). He went to the gym before covid 19 to burn off the calories he gets from drinking beer.

Zac re​vealed he has moved house many times ​through his teenage years, he has been settled for the last 3 years. He doesn't like the new year, as it is during those cold months he used to move. He has however mastered the art of packing boxes.

Question 2 - ​Wayne likes small gathering rather than big parties, as the conversations flow more easily and stories can be told again and again.

Zak thought about a variety of ​Artists who could​ paint his portrait but chose Leonard de Vinci, because of the way he thought out of his realm and pushed himself differently in his era in time

The 'squirrel' icon question; ​reminded Zac ​of the american magician 'Chris Angel'. His extreme stuff and pain toler​ance was considered 'dark magic'.

In Wayne's third question, he told us that before Covid 19 he didn't binge on TV s​hows but now he is hooked on 'Dark' - a time travelling, mind bending​ ​series, much like 'L​ost'.

Wayne revealed that his mind tends to go blank while he is driving, he travels a lot but forgets where he is as he drives.

Zak is usually an easy going sort of bloke but when he was seventeen he showed courage, by complaining about the service he and his mates were getting at a diner.

Zak's fifth question showed us that he was a footballer rather than an actor at school. He did enjoy participating in student radio at this time.

The ​final ​question, ​came from the 'Nebular' icon.

Wayne chose the 'guitar' icon for his first question 'How do you see yourself physically?' He...​Wayne (WT) and Zak are the last players, before the semi finals, in this short season 3.

Wayne chose the 'guitar' icon for his first question 'How do you see yourself physically?' He sees himself as very sexy (ha ha). He went to the gym before covid 19 to burn off the calories he gets from drinking beer.

Zac re​vealed he has moved house many times ​through his teenage years, he has been settled for the last 3 years. He doesn't like the new year, as it is during those cold months he used to move. He has however mastered the art of packing boxes.

Question 2 - ​Wayne likes small gathering rather than big parties, as the conversations flow more easily and stories can be told again and again.

Zak thought about a variety of ​Artists who could​ paint his portrait but chose Leonard de Vinci, because of the way he thought out of his realm and pushed himself differently in his era in time

The 'squirrel' icon question; ​reminded Zac ​of the american magician 'Chris Angel'. His extreme stuff and pain toler​ance was considered 'dark magic'.

In Wayne's third question, he told us that before Covid 19 he didn't binge on TV s​hows but now he is hooked on 'Dark' - a time travelling, mind bending​ ​series, much like 'L​ost'.

Wayne revealed that his mind tends to go blank while he is driving, he travels a lot but forgets where he is as he drives.

Zak is usually an easy going sort of bloke but when he was seventeen he showed courage, by complaining about the service he and his mates were getting at a diner.

Jean​ was first to choose an​ Icon - the ​Battleship' - a childhood reminder of a loved game. - Her question revealed that she had never learned to do CPR (cardiopulmo​nary res​uscitation) but it was on her' list to do' now she had grandchildren and babysitting duties.

Laurie's worst boss; was a narcissistic shouter, who she reported to HR, after he shouted at her for something that wasn't her fault.

​In Jeans second question she told us of jumping the queue at a store by heading for the self serve section, where, she was pulled up by the man behind her who she hadn't noticed. Wearing masks could have made it worse, but a conversation, eased a long wait in the queue.

Laurie chose the 'bouncy house' icon for her second question. She always likes to hear bad news first. If you hear the good news first, you are left ​to stew on the bad news after. Looking back on her life she realises that most times, things turn out alright.

The planet Pluto is a bit of a conundrum. Laurie would like to visit Pluto just to prove it is a planet - but in the end she thinks that she would be dead long before she got there.

The 'Accordion' icon was chosen by Jean and; her 'lucky charm' - was a 'mood ring'. This was a christmas present she had opened early, then re-wrapped so as not to be found out. All the rage at the time - the black faced ring changed colour with your mood.

Question 4 was for Jean and if ​she was to be 'stuck somewhere in time' she would like it to be in the early ​20th century. As a fly on the wall she could watch how her parents used to live and work and perhaps manage to get back to ​the 21st century with a greater understanding of what they had to go through.

Lauries question 5 revealed that she was a trier. Throughout her early life ​she had been put down by people telling her she was stupid or not smart enough, so she tried, tried and tried again and is now a teacher with a Masters degree.

Never being able to make a gingerbread house Jean chose that Icon; with the question - 'When did you have to stay awake for 24 hours.' Her answer ​was at a 'youth club lock in' event. She stayed up mainly because she didn't want anyone to play a joke on her.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40800896Fri, 30 Oct 2020 10:45:20 +0000Funky Thinkers​Jean and Laurie are two more, brand new, players, trying to get the 'Funk Out' in ​Season 3 ​​of FunkQuest.

In this game, the Orange team consists of Ann Smith and Leana Dell (who just happen to be Champion Funksters) ​and the Pink team of Vicki Wusche and Tom Evans.

​The 'guitar' icon was chosen by Ann, the ​question was answered by Leana who saw ​herself physically as 'not to bad for her age' and as good- looking as any 'second-hand fiddle'.

The 'Waterfall' icon was chosen by Vicki and answered by Tom. After a short examination of the home he is living in now he answered that, over the years he has moved house about 8 times.

Question 2 and Ann revealed that she prefers small parties to large gatherings. Although extrovert on the outside she is really a bit of a wallflower and quite shy.

Vicki also chose to answer her question 2 and the artist which she would have paint her is her Grandaughter​, who, at the moment ​ only paints egg-shaped tubes with smiles. Vicki would be very happy to be remembered for her smile.

Do​ the '10 Commandments' need another one. Ann suggested 'Always be Kind'.

Tom was impressed by the magician Paul Foster Case. An american illusionist who seems able to travel through time.

In answering question 4, Leana showed that not all Canadians are as complient as they seem, after she complained about the damage to a drawing desk she had ordered.

When Vicki's mind goes blank its usually while she is tending her garden seeds and plants - this is a new hobby which has grown since Covid 19 lockdown.

Final Question for the Orange team and Leana was allowed to choose the Icon. Ann ​answered the question 'Have you ever starred in a school play?' which seemed perfect for the canadian actor.

Two new funksters to FunkQuest in this second episode of Season 3.

Working on time differences and the fact that it was still early in America, Lisa chose the 'Trumpet' icon for her first question, to wake her up. The last ​costume she wore was a blue sari which she had bought in india. ​She felt that some times people need to get out of the ordinary.

Sarah was asked where she would build an Ark​​. You may soon be finding, ​somewhere around the equator, ​ lots of little ​Arks or Pods floating around together​, because of Covid 19.

Sarahs answer to question​ 2, showed that the game she spent most time playing was 'catch' (the ball game). Not only as a child but in ​Vietnam in an orphanage - where a variety of things​ ​were thrown to be caught.

Question 2 for Lisa was about wasting time. She likes to spend time sitting alongside nature and also 'people watching'.

Something you wouldn't know about Lisa is - that she is on first name terms with Michael Jordan yes! the Michael Jordan (basketball) they went to the same university.

Sarah chose the 'bobsleigh' icon for her third question; the best thing she has ever got for free, was a first class upgrade on a brand new 747 a​irplane from Hong Kong to London, WOW!

Question 4 was Sarahs to an​swer, and she revealed that on her many roadtrips the most scary was in Caracas - picked up by a stranger - It might be a James Bond movie.

Lisa chose the 'little house' Icon ​and her go to Karaoke song is "Sweet Caroline" (Neil Diamond) - sung with enthusiasm rather than with quality.

Lisa final question was 'Who was top of the bill at the​ last concert you went to? Her reply was, John Legend, a man who can really get the audience ​in the mood.

The final question of the game was Sarahs; ​ she would love to have an adventure with ​ Elsa from the film "Frozen".

For her first Question Barbara chose the VR Mask icon and we found out that she has a declutter every saturday. She says she is a 'maintainer'which stops her having ​ deep clean. ​

Caseys first question was 'When did you realise you didnt know everything?' This was his first year in college. Having little confidence in high school he believed what he was told was right. At College he decide that it would be better to research everything for himself.

​Barbaras favourite word - her question 2 answer - is Ubiquitous - at least for that day anyway - meaning 'everywhere' she felt justified to use it everywhere.

Casey revealed in his third question that he had regretted posting an opinion on Face Book, which meant the he had to apologise despite saying what he felt was truthful.

Barbara felt that she would like to get back in touch with her bass player, who ​had been a true friend during her college years as a jazz pianist. But now realises that people move on​.

Question 4 and Casey chose the 'fish art' icon. His answer to 'What ​popular childrens thing he disliked' was 'Ladybug girl' a popular tv programme which his neice had become addicted to.

​Bucket Lists can be contraversial but, not even being a goal setter Barbara hadn't thought about one at all. After a lot of cajoling, seeing the sites of London (England) might end up on her list - but her her own choice wuld be to visit Amsterdam.

Ann took the first question by choosing the 'Highland Cattle icon. Delicately proceeding without introducing politics and naming no names, she related that she now boycotts the clothing stores of a certain famous ​american CEO because of his behaviour.

Teri chose the 'fish' icon and her overrated piece of technology is the mobile/cell phone. This technology along with tablets and laptops, ha​s stopped ​people ​connecting properly. Unfortunately, they may be overrated but are essential at this time.

Question 2 and Ann would go for brains rather than looks. Someone ​with a sense of humour or even 'sexy ugly' like tommy Lee Jones. A young Sam Elliot - wow!

Teri, related how she used to hate what she was doing but ​ is very satisfied with what she does now. She has a job she loves, a healthy family and feels that it is good to be alive now, despite the scariness of covid 19.

Ann loves fairground rides. She doesn't like heights exactly but as long as she is sat down she is fine. The only ride she disliked was the 'Zipper' that was a real 'barf' machine.

Teri chose the 'castle' icon and related that she has a love hate relationship ​about going to the Zoo. She hates the animals being kept in cages and wishes they could be free, yet understands the good ​Zoos do, to keep animals from extinction.

When only 7 years old Ann spent her first day at work ​in an antique shop. Her aunts store was an antique in itself without running water- but ​was swatting flies such a good thing to be doing, around all those precious items?

Teri's question ​4 revealed that the person who always smells nice in her life, is her husband, she likes how he smells and he ​loves a certain toiletry company.

​Question 5 and Ann chose the 'monster van' icon. If she was stuck in a nuclear bunker she would love John Cleese to be stuck in there with her. He and the Monty Python team are greatly admired, as she has an 'absurd' sense of humour.

Kimya chose the 'clownfish' icon ​for the opening question. How fast can she get dressed? - pretty fast as it turns out. ​ ​Meetings, held within minutes of hearing about them and being a night owl ​and waking up just in time, have honed her dressing skills.

Ann explained that the best place she had got lost was, on ​honeymoon, on a berry filled but mudd​y trail

Question 2 and Kimya revealed she had two ​pair of sunglasses ​which she loves but cannot wear because she gets sweaty in them. She has used them to illustrate the idea that, we need to be able to see reality but not blind ourselves to what is happening around us.

Ann chose the 'alarm clock' icon with the appropriate ​question 'Are you always early or always late?' She generally tends to be behind. A high school experience about being the first at her home room on day 1 caused her some anxiety, which ruined that day. It is probably best to be just in time and not too early.

Kimya prefers to be in a Hotel or a ​Bed and Breakfast, when away. Even before covid 19 she took hand sanitizer - you never know who has been in before you.

Ann communicates with her spouse very well, they discuss and don't argue. On harder subjects its easier to talk in the car, both looking ​forward and not meeting eye to eye which could allow things to escalate.

Ann's Inuit knowledge, led her to chose the 'rocks' icon for her question 4. She likes technology for what it can do for us but finds technical stuff mentally frustrating, she lives with it but does not enjoy it.

Where does Kimya spend most of her day? - usually at work. At home or in the office of 'Non Profit'. When she can, she goes out fo​r walks aroun​d the harbour area of Baltimore.

Kimya chose the...Two very adept​ and well known funksters in this Final, but when it comes down to the vote, who will be crowned Grand Champion of FunkQuest Season 2?

Kimya chose the 'clownfish' icon ​for the opening question. How fast can she get dressed? - pretty fast as it turns out. ​ ​Meetings, held within minutes of hearing about them and being a night owl ​and waking up just in time, have honed her dressing skills.

Ann explained that the best place she had got lost was, on ​honeymoon, on a berry filled but mudd​y trail

Question 2 and Kimya revealed she had two ​pair of sunglasses ​which she loves but cannot wear because she gets sweaty in them. She has used them to illustrate the idea that, we need to be able to see reality but not blind ourselves to what is happening around us.

Ann chose the 'alarm clock' icon with the appropriate ​question 'Are you always early or always late?' She generally tends to be behind. A high school experience about being the first at her home room on day 1 caused her some anxiety, which ruined that day. It is probably best to be just in time and not too early.

Kimya prefers to be in a Hotel or a ​Bed and Breakfast, when away. Even before covid 19 she took hand sanitizer - you never know who has been in before you.

Ann communicates with her spouse very well, they discuss and don't argue. On harder subjects its easier to talk in the car, both looking ​forward and not meeting eye to eye which could allow things to escalate.

Question 4 and Kimya chose the 'waterfall' icon. She last lost her purse/wallet about 20 years ago, since then she keeps a good eye on her things. It may be paranoia or her criminology background, ​but if it's gone it has been stolen!

Ann's Inuit knowledge, led her to chose the 'rocks' icon for her question 4. She likes technology for what it can do for us but finds technical stuff mentally frustrating, she lives with it but does not enjoy it.

As Alexander had never played Funkquest before, Leana was chosen to go first to show him how it goes.

Leana chose the 'Pumpkin icon and answered the question about how she took to losing games. She said that she doesn't mind losing to others but is very competive against herself. At golf she always likes to be able to beat her last game. In most games though its about fun.

Alexander's first question was 'How many photos do you have on your phone? - he revealed that he had possibly thousands, many of which were s​tored in ​ 'cloud'. He used to like​ big cameras with Zoom lenses but realises the HD pictures taken on mobile/cell phones are as good,​ these days.

Going on a date is always stressful; ​ ​who is supposed to pay the bill on a first date! Leana made a big 'faux pasF' and insulted her Texan date by offering to pay, then insulted her Canadian date by not offering to go halves. Someone should write some Rules.

'Where can you see the best views?' was Alexanders second question. As ​MP ​for Rother Valley he was very diplomatic in his first answer. However his best views are the ones that have his family in them.

Question 3 and Leana doesn't really prank people, although she may have made prank phone calls when younger. ​Alexander was asked if we had lost the art of a good prank? He felt that a good wholesome prank was ​ok, ​but verbal abuse or physical attack was not a 'prank'.

Alexander chose the 'fruit' icon for his third question. His first guest on his 'talk show' would probably be Boris Johnson - the question slide picture for this icon was the 'Crusades' and he was prompted, by history, into ​thinking that ​ Julius Caese​r would be a more fascinating guest.

Of all the animals in the world; Leana chose the 'cat' to be given the power of speech. Dogs, ​can almost talk to you anyway ​through th​eir facial and body language, but cats are ​generally unreadable. They would probably insult you if they could speak!

The 'Route 66' sign was the american icon, icon, Alexander chose to say that, his favourite chocolate bar/s were the Flake/Twirl​ - one being a chocolate covered version of the other - and with a cup of tea a KitKat.

​What is FunkQuest ?

Funkquest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.

Funksters (players) view a board containing 40 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.

Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.

We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.

We call this FUNK.

The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.

Ann was first to​ the board and chose the Icon of 'coloured balls'. 'Who always seems to win when you play a game with them? Ann was certain that is she ever played any physical games there would be no doubt about someone else winning - but if ​a game like Trivial Pursuits was played, she would win hands down.

Sarah chose the 'Lion' icon. Who would come when she calls - her dog

Sarah's next question was about her first car. She has a gold VW bug with a soft top roof, it seems not only did she love it but everyone around her college did too, as they left messages and gifts on the car.

'Which is your favourite crime show on TV'? allowed Ann to answer that she was going to be acting in a 'true crime' show. She would however have to 'die for her art' as she was playing the victim.

Question 3, for ​Ann, revealed that she had a cupboard full of musical instruments which she had tried to play, then put away. She would love to be able to play a Bassoon - the 'grumpy old curmugeon' of an instrument, in a Jazz band.

The​ 'famous landmarks' question was Sarahs third question and she was able to give a long list of National parks, museums, and attractions from all over the globe.

Question 4 for Sarah was about drinking pints - (of milk, that is​).She does drink milk but not as much as a pint and she has memories of paying a nickle at school, when she was younger, to have her daily portion.

Ann learned to swim, only after her local area was able to provide a swimming pool. Previous to that she had tried to swim while at summer camp in Lake Huron. She was rescued by a pole. from nearly drowning.

'Whats the best thing about your life.' was Ann's final question - actually being alive and living in the 21st century was her answer, and she went on to talk about; how in any other century, as a woman, she would probably ​be already dead.

Sarah chose the 'global map' icon for her last question​. The last time she wrote a cheque, it was to the man sorting out her floor. She had to put it in an envelope and send it to his P.O. box.

We are now at the Semi Final stage of FunkQuest season 2 and taking part ​are 2 very experienced Funksters, so listen well.

The round began with Alyson choosing the 'city scape icon'. The way she tends to remember things is through Mnemonics (using ​easier words/ images to remember more complicated or multiple ideas), She first learned this at high school.

Kimyas first question was 'How many questions do you ask'. Her answer was; that if people are interested in what you have to say they will ask questions, if they are mostly silent you will find that they are thinking about other things and not really listening. ​

Question 2 for Kimya was about her greatest achievement. She remembers speaking out at a board meeting when others were quiet ​, knowing that something had not been done when it should have. She also felt that keeping close to family during Covid 19 was an achievement too.

Alysons second answer involved a very comfy chair​, which was bought for her ​ ​husband but soon ​taken for herself. ​We also find that her second favourite chair is her ergonomic office chair.

The 'digger' was the next Icon to provoke Alysons interest and she felt that she would spend her 'last night on earth' writing letters to family and friends​, ​writing specifically ​to her young son for him to open at milestones in his life.

Kimya has developed a habit of saying "Go Away" she wishes that women ​could all learn this habit and be able to say 'no' when asked to do things for others that ​are​diguised in seemingly innocent conversations.

Kimya chose the 'skydiver' icon for question 4 and revealed that her last fight was about 20 years ago. ​She feels that people don't have to be silent warri​ors and sometimes a good 'whoopin' needs to be given.

Alyson last took a taxi when whe was alone in Sandiego for a conference. She feels safer in a proper taxi rather than in an uber one as she knows they have had back checks and can be relied on.

Alyson revealed in her final answer that she would love Morgan Freeman to be the narrator of her life story​ (who wouldn't) but in real life, it would probably be her ​own inner voice and the voices of people she has known especially her mothers and husbands voices.

The final question of the game went to Kimya​. We find out that she is very de​cisive and adamant. She likes honest people who have made up th​eir minds and who know themselves.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40634852Fri, 04 Sep 2020 13:47:58 +0000Funky ThinkersFunkQuest -Season 2 - Semi Final 1 - Alyson Lex v Dr. Kimya Nuru Dennis We are now at the Semi Final stage of FunkQuest season 2 and taking part ​are 2 very experienced Funksters, so listen well.

Sarah and L​ora get to play each other a second time because of circumstance caused by Covid 19, so we have a second chance to listen to even more of their funky ideas.

L​ora started the game by explaining; how fast she could probably learn something new. It all depended on if she had some of the skills already, it would be quite quickly​, if she would have to learn everything from the start that would be different.

Sarah first question was about when she last used a map. Her reply was that she had recently gone hiking in the mountains where there was no satnav so was relying on a map to keep her away from Grisly Bear ​berry eating areas.

Question 2 for Lora was about ashes, mainly hers, and where she would like them to be scattered. Not being around by then it didnt really matter to her but she hoped her children would have memories of areas they spent time together and spread them there.

A secret hide out would no longer be secret as Sarah revealed she would have 2 hidouts.One in her kitchen and another in the Flat Head lane area but it would still have to have a kitchen,

Lora in her third answer would ask a crystal ball to tell her how she could always know if what she was doing was the right thing, it would take away ​​a lot of doubt.

Sarah chose the ​Uluru (Ayres rock) icon and answered the question about buying a present then keeping it for yourself her answer was harmless enough.

If you have never had the chance to swim in a warm sea and later watch turtle eggs being laid in the sand, then you will really envy L​oras fourth answer

​Sarah was asked in question 4 if she knew anyone who always told the same joke, and being in a Band, Sarah knew the bass player always told the audience a joke as they played and more often than not it was the same one, which ironically always seemed funny.

Lora's final question came from choosing the large glass fronted house icon. She admitted to being an avid reader and so was unable to come up with one favourite Author.

The last ​question of the game was Sarah's she chose the Giraffe icon and told her story about being on stage and having to announce that the evening was supposed to have involved wearing bikinis. A rather inebriated man danced in front of her in his girlfriends bra and thong. It's something she won't forget!]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/40475671Fri, 28 Aug 2020 11:41:29 +0000Funky ThinkersFunkQuest - Season 2 - Quarter final 4 - Lora Cheadle v Sarah Elkins Sarah and L​ora get to play each other a second time because of circumstance caused by Covid 19, so we have a second chance to listen to even more of their funky ideas.

Ann and Lisa are the third pair to play in the FunkQuest quarter finals and are old hands at this by now.

​Lisa started play with the answer to 'How many questions do you ask? - She always has to ask at least 5 why questions deep - this is so she can get to the true answer.

Anns first question 'Where have you seen a ghost' might have been a tricky one but she was certainly able to come up with a good 'ghost story'.

​Leaving her family house and home in America when she got married and moving all the way to live in Canada - a place she know nothing about, ​ actually learning to live there was ​ Lisas greatest achievement.

Question 2 for Ann ​could have seem quite personal but her answer about finding satisfaction was that she was surprised by ​her husband​, she's not easily surprised​ and that was very satisfying.

​Her third answer - Lisa revealed, ​that if she was to be a secret ​code name it would be Detective Fierce and Ferocious (DFF) as she can be very protective of things

Anns third question was about having a habit. Her habit is more a way of life now her grown up self allows her to go out of her comfort zone to get the things she missed when younger.

For question 4 Ann chose the 'xylophone' icon with question 'When is it ok to tell a lie?' her emphatic answer was - Never! and was able to qualify this with the differences between honesty and integrity.

Lisa shuddered at the 'jelly fish' icon and for a reason- the answer to the questionwas the sound of scraping nails down a chalk board- a reminder of the nuns who taught her.

Lisas final question was about choosing who would narrate her life. Samuel L Jackson came to mind

Anne closed the show by explaining that she was the luckiest person she knew because ​she had her husband and he was the luckiest because he had her - 2 very different people b​ut both blessed.

Question 2 for Ann ​could have seem quite personal but her answer about finding satisfaction was that she was surprised by ​her husband​, she's not easily surprised​ and that was very satisfying.

​Her third answer - Lisa revealed, ​that if she was to be a secret ​code name it would be Detective Fierce and Ferocious (DFF) as she can be very protective of things

Anns third question was about having a habit. Her habit is more a way of life now her grown up self allows her to go out of her comfort zone to get the things she missed when younger.

For question 4 Ann chose the 'xylophone' icon with question 'When is it ok to tell a lie?' her emphatic answer was - Never! and was able to qualify this with the differences between honesty and integrity.

Lisa shuddered at the 'jelly fish' icon and for a reason- the answer to the questionwas the sound of scraping nails down a chalk board- a reminder of the nuns who taught her.

Lisas final question was about choosing who would narrate her life. Samuel L Jackson came to mind

Anne closed the show by explaining that she was the luckiest person she knew because ​she had her husband and he was the luckiest because he had her - 2 very different people b​ut both blessed.


Ann and Lisa are the third pair to play in the FunkQuest quarter finals and are old hands at this by now.

​Lisa started play with the answer to 'How many questions do you ask? - She always has to ask at least 5 why questions deep - this is so she can get to the true answer.

​You will find out that both Kimya and Bryan are experts in their respective fields and this Second Quarter Final episode is full of insightful ​ and thought proving ideas.

Question 1 was; 'Where does power come from?' Bryan felt that we all have power within ourselves - and we need to really find out what really matters to us personally so that we can fight against the power​s which hold us back.​

Kimya answered her first question about building an ark - she would literally and figuratively build arks (arcs) to connect people around the world so to join together ​to beat systemic attitudes.​

Question 2 - and Kimya and Bryan both took this question ​; 'How do you waste time?' and felt the question problematic because this sort of time allows you space to recover and recuperate so you can then continue to help others.

Bryan chose the bobsleigh icon on the board for question 3 - answering about the best thing he got for Free. Having felt worthless for many years, he helped himsel​f transform into who he is now ​without having to go on a costly course.

Kimya, spoke about her latest dream for her third question, feeling that we generally dreeam about the things we have talked about during the day.

Kimya answered the 'fruit waff​le'​ next. Her last road trip was a six hour drive to check up on her house. It took so long because she didn't want to use the highway. She felt that ​seeing scenery was he​althier mentally.

Bryan had to ​ confess he had cheated in school when young​ but more importantly had not cheated on his diet although he was allowed a 'cheat day'. "How much do you really value yourself if you are willing to ​cheat?"

Final Question for Bryan told us his dad had seemed old when he ​was child, but even now, ​in his seventies h​is dad was very a​ctive​ so not that old really. He knew of older people but his wifes grandma was 92.

Kerry took the same question ​ a​nd her third answer was about hypnotists and how like magicians they seemed to be.

​What is FunkQuest ?

Funkquest is a fun interactive online conversation game that features five rounds.

Funksters (players) view a board containing 40 individual icons (pictures)

Funksters select an icon from the board which most tweaks their interest.

Each Funky icon, when chosen reveals a Funky question, which may or may not be related to the icon.

Potential Funksters, have to think on their feet, answering the question within the strict time limit of one minute.

We are looking for answers which might include; insights, useful and amusing snippets, and things we just didn't know.

We call this FUNK.

The winner - based on audience votes - goes through to the next round of the Funkquest series.

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

The strict time limit does not allow funksters to give; multi-headed, long, complicated and self indulgent stories -
just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

You get to hear; new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network, which truly qualifies as FUNKY.

Episode 24 is the last game of season 2 round 2 before the Quarter finals begin. It is also the first head to head game that Sarah has had to play after getting through on a walkover, so she was undoubtedly nervous.

Sarah started the game by choosing the 'Las vegas' Icon and her favourite takeaway is a sandwich filled with savoury sausage and spicy sauces.

Lora was asked how she cheered people up -and she felt she had to join them in their misery before cheering them up

Lora's second question was resonant with her eldest sons hobby of climbing 14,000 ft mountains in that she would never climb Mount Everest.

Sarah chose the 'Flowers' icon for question 2 and was definite that pink was not a colour she would wear.

Her third question let her talk about her collection of Shot glasses - which she began during a road trip and which grew because people travelled and returned with them, for her to keep.

The 'Tower Bridge' icon was also chosen by Lora, who then talked about her collection of Flamingos - which soon had the whole group talking.

Question four was about the last time Lora had carried an umbrella - a trip to New York soon stopped her from doing so again.

This umbrella story led Sarah to talk about her own umbrella story in which she saved the day during a wedding.

The 'Plate of fish and chips' icon was Sarahs final question and her answer included body building, getting hurt and never doing sit -ups again.

In her final question "who should live for ever?" Lora turned the question into 'What should live forever' and spoke of the ideals of; equality, truth, freedom and justice should live forever through telling those who come after.

Ann and Pablo are both established FunkQuest players

Ann turned up in a pink wig and and a FunkyThinkers T shirt she is a real Funkster.

Ann chose the first Icon on the board which was the yoyo and answered the question about how common is common sense?

Pablo's first quest was about maps - and while he has used maps - it seems that the Sat Nav system has taken over.

The next question from 'the lady with the guitar' Icon - was where would Pablo make a Hiding place - a cave by the see along with extra comforts was the answer.

Ann's second question was about feeling foolish and she told the story of her younger self wanting to take tennis lesson. Pablo also resonated with this.

The Swiss army Knife icon gave Ann the opportunity to talk about her invention of a new system for the measurement of womens clothing.

The next Question for Pablo, 'What do you always spell wrong' led to a cacophony of answers from all on the show.

The Landscape icon and following question "when do you tell yourself off"- led to Pablo's insight of self criticism, and the mention of the book "The Chimp Paradox" - Dr Steve Peters.

Anns question 4 was about looking through telelescope: her recent view through binoculars - was beautiful Duck.

Ann felt that she just had to have the pushpins (colorfully organised) icon, her husband is her deputy and keeps her in line as the voice of reason.

Pablo took final question - who is favourite author - Mark twain - he related to Huck Finn so much when younger. Insight - 'You relate to people you understand.'

After seeing off other contenders Lisa Pezik and Tina Dietz have reached the 6th edition of FunkQuest Season 2 - Round 2.

Tina was first to choose an Icon and answer the Question - which was about her ambitious nature. Descended from an entrepreneurial family, she thought everyone was the same but grew up to realise her independence and assertion are not universal traits.

In her first question, Lisa revealed that when she reaches her limit, every little thing makes her crazy. Her husband and son have a mutual look, so they know to keep out of the way.

In question 2 Lisa's favourite sandwich turns out to be a Jewish Deli thing, thick rye bread with lots of sourkraut, thousand island dressing and grilled cheese.

Tina's favourite Panoramic View comes from living in the mountains in Costa Rica - a 360 degree view of 7 volcanoes, lots of birds and mammals - complete sensory experience.

For Question 3 Tina revealed that she still believes there are monsters under the bed, despite telling herself there aren't any. Her Pills icon picture was probably appropriate.

Lisa's tip for "staying sane in this mad crazy world" was to be clear about what really matters. Don't get hung up on all the other things you have to do - there is no badge for being busy. Do what makes you feel secure.

Question 4 for Lisa, what will we tell children in the future about our lives today? Technology is moving at a pace, will they ask about how we coped when things were slow?

Tina, told of a promise, made between her and her future husband, that if either of them fell down they would use the coffee table as a travois - this was her answer to the question "who would you 'piggy back' on a long walk"

Question 5 was Tinas - if she had a single photo she would make sure that all her family was in it, from children to grandparents, along with a shadow background to remember mentors as benevolent spirits as she said "you never make a journey on your own."

The last question went to Lisa, who, if she learnt another language it would be Polish. Inspired by her husbands grandmother. When she spoke to those she loved, she would speak endearments in her native language, which made them all the more heartfelt. Translations are never as good.

In this FunkQuest, Season 2 round 2 - Bryan Falchuk and Terry Fox go head to head in what turns out to be a quick Round.

Terry, as a relative newcomer to the FunkQuest game chose the Gears Icon, and said that after a recent house move his basement was full of stuff and he would therefore not be letting any guests into that room.

Brian revealed that he did not own any Dictionaries, except for a Chinese one, which he had used when teaching in China.

For Question 2, Bryan and Terry were agreed in that they prefer small gatherings to large parties, although outwardly showing confidence in what they do professionally, both felt that they themselves were introverts and smaller gatherings allow a better building of relationships

When asked in his next quest who was his prefered Magician - Terry chose Gandalf the Grey (a wizard rather than magician) - becase of his love of reading fantasy fiction.

In his question, Question 3, Bryan admitted that he binged on TV series programmes - giving information that Disney were concerned about how quickly people are getting through programmes - so he's not the only one, especially at this time.

Bryan gave a great tip in his answer to Question 4 - If you hold the spacebar on your computer, while using the mouse, the curser moves straight to where you want it (like a track pad).

Living in the Rocky Mountain Region - Terry was able to make a snowman as soon as the snow fell - he also packed snow to make ice bricks.

The Treasure Chest question allowed Terry to say how he had played against his son at Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo Wii. His son was a good loser.

Quite a deep, final question for Bryan as he revealed that two of his friends had left him at some time - although his friendships did survive eventually.

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.

In this FunkQuest, Season 2 round 2 - Bryan Falchuk and Terry Fox go head to head in what turns out to be a quick Round.

Terry, as a relative newcomer to the FunkQuest game chose the Gears Icon, and said that after a recent house move his basement was full of stuff and he would therefore not be letting any guests into that room.

Brian revealed that he did not own any Dictionaries, except for a Chinese one, which he had used when teaching in China.

For Question 2, Bryan and Terry were agreed in that they prefer small gatherings to large parties, although outwardly showing confidence in what they do professionally, both felt that they themselves were introverts and smaller gatherings allow a better building of relationships

When asked in his next quest who was his prefered Magician - Terry chose Gandalf the Grey (a wizard rather than magician) - becase of his love of reading fantasy fiction.

In his question, Question 3, Bryan admitted that he binged on TV series programmes - giving information that Disney were concerned about how quickly people are getting through programmes - so he's not the only one, especially at this time.

Bryan gave a great tip in his answer to Question 4 - If you hold the spacebar on your computer, while using the mouse, the curser moves straight to where you want it (like a track pad).

Living in the Rocky Mountain Region - Terry was able to make a snowman as soon as the snow fell - he also packed snow to make ice bricks.

The Treasure Chest question allowed Terry to say how he had played against his son at Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo Wii. His son was a good loser.

Quite a deep, final question for Bryan as he revealed that two of his friends had left him at some time - although his friendships did survive eventually.

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.

Ann began the game with Question 1; about her knowledge of CPR (Cardiopulmmonary Resuscitation). She learned how to do it for a babysitting couse when younger and although not used for used for years, felt sure it would kick in when needed.

Kimya was excited about the fact that technology is helping to reach those who are in need.

Question 2: Ann found that she rolled her eyes, mostly because her children were very critical of her even when she has been helping them. (Just Typical).

Kimya answered the same question, rolling her eyes at people who constantly say things like 'we're all in the same boat' especially in the times of Coronavirus. She felt that to have a unifying experience, people need to understand their differences.

Question 3 was about Radical Action - and Kimya felt that being able to challenge the key decision makers of the world and speaking out was good.

Ann was asked where she would like to visit - citing Iceland and Alaska as places she would go.

Kimya chose the Elephant Icon for her 4th question. He prefers to be 'stuck in time' in the here and now.

From the happenings of the Corona Pandemic, Ann talked about what we might learn to 'stop us using more than we need'.

Question 5 and Kimya was regretting having given up learning a second language, but felt that with more resources and perhaps a push for people to learn differnt languages (not just mainstream french, spanish, german) it would help combat Xenophobia.

In her final question; Ann told her motherhood story of staying awake more than 24 hours, giving birth.

After​ starting her FunkQuest ​journey with a walkover, this episode was Ann Zaprazny's first debut into the real game. Dr Kimya Nuru Dennis was, in this case, a veteran.

​Both Alison Donaghey and Lisa Marie Platske are old pioneers of ​FunkQuest game, as such, episode 19, ​in season 2 of FunkQuest, should be a good one.

Alison began this game choosing the 'Box House' icon and answering the question - "Which is the most underused room in your house?" Filled with innuendo, as well as finding out she has trouble sleeping Alison's ​bedroom was the answer.

In her first question we found that; unlike most people, ​Lisa Marie has no interest in going shopp​ing she finds it painful and unlike Alison, 'hanging out' in a mall or shopping centre is something she can't stand.

The second question for Lisa Marie was about the picture on ​her desktop - everyone has something - and for Lisa Marie; a picture of a girl running along the beach inspires peace and tranquility. Alison interrupted Lisa question knowing her desktop thing was a little less tranquil. (See below)

​Question 2 for Alison was about eating dropped food. She has dogs in her house ​so any dropped food would be snatched up​. ​On the subject in general she felt it was ok to pick up if it wasn't sticky. As a child she had eaten lots of unsavoury things and not been hurt - while an immunity to germs had boosted her health.

Next Alison revealed that any time of day was good for her,​ athough it depended on the day

Lisa Marie picked the 'board game' next with the question about what was uniquely hers. Her reply was ​a great answer about her life and experiences.

Question 4 also saw a good answer from Lisa Marie; Investing in yourself - doing whatever you have to do, depends on preparation​, not LUCK

After a brief discussion on the psychology of the picture ​icons picked by people, Alison ​then ​said she would not have a picture on her wall, but revealed that ​she had put a piece of junk on it which she liked. (see below)

​Alison chose the 'pig' icon for question 5 and answered that her first real journey into alcoholic drinks did not go well. ​Tequila however is her favourite. ​

Lisa Marie's final question became a different answer than expected.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/27112509Sat, 27 Jun 2020 13:13:11 +0000Funky ThinkersFunkQuest - Season 2 - Round 2 - Episode 19 - Alison Donaghey v Lisa Marie Platske ​Both Alison Donaghey and Lisa Marie Platske are old pioneers of ​FunkQuest game, as such, episode 19, ​in season 2 of FunkQuest, should be a good one.

Kerry chose the first icon and ​question and Kam chose to answer the same question. For Kerry the answer to having given a blood donation was a simple 'Never', although she has a rare blood type, she has a condition which means that she tends to pass out​.

Kam acknowledged he had given blood once and was ​hounded by blood drive organisations. His blood is good to use, but in the USA, blood drive organisations get paid for the amount of blood they collect - which put him off.

Question 2 "Street Fighter 2" was the game ​Kam played for hours as a kid and he got to be very good at it.

Kerry was asked to make us believe something about her we didn't know. We now know that she has written books on​ the subject - Yoga for Kids.

With​ Question 3 we also learned that Kerry likes to 'waste' time training and walking and is ​enjoying the car free atmosphere, ​of this present coronavirus lockdown.

Answering the bugs and mini-beast ​question - Kam explained how he had travelled a lot in Jungle type areas and the bugs and beasts like millipedes and centipedes are the most repellent to him.

Kam is not the greatest singer and in ​his next question - about doing Karaoke he told us about the time he wanted to start a New Year being bold -​ ​ with disastrous results.

Kerry answered her 4th question ​with an account of a r​oad trip she made from Virginia to Maine - 13 hours, with scenery breaks, but ​without planning where to stay on route.

Kerry's ​question 5, was about ​her best boss ​who she named Liza; for the strict attention to detail ​a​nd tough training, who she now sees was a critical friend and mentor.

Kam also took the best boss question and used it to pay homage to all the bosses who took a youth with problems and showed him the strong fundamentals of how things should be done.

Alyson and Ron were the first players of the second round of the second season​ and th​erefore the first to play with the new FunkQuest Rules. ​This allowed them to choose a different icon, ​from the board and ​answer different questions.

Alyson revealed from her first question; that she often steps out of her Comfort Zone, as she feels that ​you should do "something that scares you " everyday.

Ron found that while most people us​e Dating Agencies, his experience was one that put him off, after receiving repeated mailings of people only interested in Barbeques on a Saturday night.

​Rons second question was about kids eating dropped food and he countered that with the fact that, ​chidren especially, should be exposed to stuff - so they can ​get a healthy immune system.

Alyson was asked 'who last gave her advice' and she treasures having and taking advice from, a "Business Buddy" a confidante she has known for years.

Question 3 - Alyson chose the 'spider' icon; ​we found her favourite time of day, was 4.30 am - her quiet time.

Ron told us that he is enjoying sculpting and sculpture, he has a unique piece made just for him. With question 4, he also revealed he has a painting on his wall ​called 'The Bird Lady'. (see below)

Alisons answer to; 'When is it Skill not Luck' was that practice and determination leads to skill.

The final question ​for Alyson was about ​her first adventure into alcoholic drinks. She and her friend ​would drink at her friend's house refilling the bottle with water - needless to say she is now tee-total.

Rons final answer showed that he would rather stand ​and not sit, on most public transport vehicles.

In this episode, tidying up, having panic attacks when you don't have your phone to hand.

Starting Alexa when you are appearing on a show. Good manners, very old bibles and wiping your nose on old hankies.

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.

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.

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
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.

===========

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...

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.

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.

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

Q1. Crazy Rich Asians (trailer below)

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

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.

Leana picked the hippy chicks and the question is "What was the last photo you took?"

A photo of a photo on a phone of a friends cat.

And that's the thing. Previously, photos had a currency, a value. You could only take either 24 or 36 (if you had money). Now they are a throwaway currency.

Someday when you got Grandkids, you will be saying to them "This is the breakfast I had in 1999"

85 points scored.

3/4 point scored for the Soviet Union soccer shirt. Total 85 3/4

Q2. Leana picked the telephone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Leana told her boss that she had a Doctor's appointment so that she could spend 30 minutes recording the show.

If you look closely at the faces of cyclists from the Lance Armstrong era, you will see a look of fear on their faces. Fear they are going to be caught. Because they are lying.

30 minute Doctor's appointment. 30 points.

Total 115 3/4

Q3. Leana picked the show and the question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Leana is worried about her job. Now that her employer has been taken over by a large corporation. (Yes remarkable I know...)

Everything always works out. And here is the thing, large corporations are typically run by accountants and bean counters.

They won't be lied awake at night, worried about Leana.

Speaking of beans, I rounded the score up to 180. (To make it easier to add up)

Total 180

Q4. Leana picked the girl with the guitar and the question is who do you go out of your way to be nice to?

Leana goes out of her way to be nice to people who are having a bad day. Very nice. 25 points scored.

Total 205

Leana knew who George Harrison was. Total 206 points.

Q5. Leana picked George and the question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life?"

Leana defines this as "I can do this thing" or a sense of possibility

Leana scored 62 points plus the 2 years that Leana and myself have known each other = 67 points.

Total 269 - Tied with Lenora

270 points and comfortably into the playoffs for two time Funky Thinker Leana Delle. (Bonus point for - probably - being the only Leana Delle in the world).

Funky Thinkers, Funky Thinkers insights, Jon Senior's Funky Thinkers]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/20821464Fri, 03 Jan 2020 08:52:32 +0000Funky ThinkersLeana Delle claimed she had a Doctors appointment to record this episode.

Leana picked the hippy chicks and the question is "What was the last photo you took?"

A photo of a photo on a phone of a friends cat.

And that's the thing. Previously, photos had a currency, a value. You could only take either 24 or 36 (if you had money). Now they are a throwaway currency.

Someday when you got Grandkids, you will be saying to them "This is the breakfast I had in 1999"

85 points scored.

3/4 point scored for the Soviet Union soccer shirt. Total 85 3/4

Q2. Leana picked the telephone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Leana told her boss that she had a Doctor's appointment so that she could spend 30 minutes recording the show.

If you look closely at the faces of cyclists from the Lance Armstrong era, you will see a look of fear on their faces. Fear they are going to be caught. Because they are lying.

30 minute Doctor's appointment. 30 points.

Total 115 3/4

Q3. Leana picked the show and the question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Leana is worried about her job. Now that her employer has been taken over by a large corporation. (Yes remarkable I know...)

Everything always works out. And here is the thing, large corporations are typically run by accountants and bean counters.

They won't be lied awake at night, worried about Leana.

Speaking of beans, I rounded the score up to 180. (To make it easier to add up)

Total 180

Q4. Leana picked the girl with the guitar and the question is who do you go out of your way to be nice to?

Leana goes out of her way to be nice to people who are having a bad day. Very nice. 25 points scored.

Total 205

Leana knew who George Harrison was. Total 206 points.

Q5. Leana picked George and the question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life?"

Leana defines this as "I can do this thing" or a sense of possibility

Leana scored 62 points plus the 2 years that Leana and myself have known each other = 67 points.

Total 269 - Tied with Lenora

270 points and comfortably into the playoffs for two time Funky Thinker Leana Delle. (Bonus point for - probably - being the only Leana Delle in the world).

Kerry took part in Jonthan Seniors Funkquest podcast
Q1. Kerry chose the cassette tape and the question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Michael Jackson, Madonna, recording from the radio. blah de blah. We need to change this question. You have got this off to a T.

I asked Kerry what year Michael Jackson's off the wall album came out. We thought 1980. (The answer is 1979). 80 points scored.

1/2 point for the Soviet Union soccer shirt.

Total 80 1/2

Q2. Kerry chose the record player and the question is "How many birthday cards did you receive last birthday?"

Kerry's answer was 10. 10 points scored.

Kerry is FUNKY though, because she buys birthday cards, thank you cards, sorry you are leaving cards in bulk.

Read for when she needs them.

Q3. Kerry chose the shoe and the question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Answer, year end and goal setting vs goal achieving.

15 points scored. Total 105

Q4. Kerry chose the laundrette and the question is "How do you judge people?"

Kerry's answer was to get to know them.

10 points scored.

Q5. Kerry chose the roller skates and the question is "what got ruined because it became popular?"

First time, I think, the rubics cube has cropped up.

How DID people learn to solve it before the internet.

140 1/2 points scored. (Mainly because it would be bad form to invite someone on and they not make the leaderboard..)

79 points scored. (Because that was when cassette recorders went mainstream).

Vicki knew the shirt was the old soviet union and therefore scored a point.

Total 80.

Vicki gave us a two minute tour round underwater photography.

Bonus point for saying thank you.

Total 98 points.

Q3. Vicki picked the shoe and the question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Vicki answered the state of the world we are leaving to our kids.

In terms of politics, the environment.

(Is it sexist to say that most women pick the shoe? I will go back and have a look... to see if it is fact...)

Scored rounded up to 130 points.

Q4. Vicki picked the laundrette and the question is "How do you judge people?"

Vicki tends to give people the benefit of doubt.

Score 149.

Vicki did know who George Harrison was (after ruling out the other Beatles one by one...)

Score = 150.

Q5. Vicki picked the horse drawn carriage. The question is "What things about the opposite sex confuse you the most?"

Discussion around being comfortable with women and men differently.

LeNora was under pressure coming into this, as her previous two collaborators had already been on the show.

Q1. LeNora picked the cassette tape and the question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were growing up"

Not for the first time, a potential funkster has recounted access to music being restricted when growing up.

Remember, we are not here to embarrass you.

1995 was a good year for LeNora - discovering Shania Twain, Abba and Oasis. (The link to the Maine Road gig is below. Just look at all those people having a fun time without phones).

95 points scored.

LeNora correctly identified the old Soviet Union soccer shirt. Bonus point.

Total 96 points.

Q2. LeNora picked the LP record and the question is "How many birthday cards did you receive on your last birthday?"

LeNora said none. (aaaawwwww) Quick discussion about real cards vs Facebook and other wishes.

If you want to send LeNora a birthday card, get in touch.

12 points scored. Total 108.

At this point, LeNora was in panic mode - bragging rights being at stake and all that.

Q3. LeNora picked the London bus and the question is "How ambitious are you really?"

Discussion around how the internet helps people of a like mind find each other.

40 points scored. Total 148. Panic mode beyond full on.


Q4. LeNora picked the guitar and the question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Good answer this - kids. Children.

Being part of the child free girls community, LeNora can be the cool Aunty and take kids to FUNKY places, and hand them back at the end of the day.

Total 200.

LeNora knew who George Harrison was. TWO bonus points duly awarded for tripping off the right answer.

Total 202.

Q5. LeNora picked the collection of LP records and the question is "What old person thing do you do?"

LeNora answered, "Hang out with old people"

If you asked someone what age do they thing old age starts, they would answer 67. (Well I would).

67 points scored.

Total 269

ONE POINT ahead of Kirsten.

What a surprise, LeNora is a point clear of her child free girls colleague Kristen. It isn't a fix. My notebook is below to prove it.

Just as well, the three collaborators are up for a season 1 preliminary round playoff match.

Q1. Kristen picked the cassette tape and the question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Kristen had a music station with record player on top, double cassette tapes and cd player.

Music included INXS, The Cure, New Order and Depeche Mode.

Link to World in Motion 1990 is below.

81 points scored.

Q2. Kristen thought the shirt was from Romania and therefore got 3/4 point.

Total 81 3/4

Kristen picked the phone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Kristen recounted that feeling when, trying to keep a secret, she knew or strongly suspected that the other party had found out.

13 points scored. Total 94 3/4


Q3. Being a writer, Kristen chose the typewriter and the question is "What's some insider knowledge in your industry that only you have?"

Now, being a Funky Thinker, Kristen mused for a moment before answering that the need to have an agent to be a writer was a secret.

Why don't people know this?

Q4. Kristen picked the car and the question is "What from the present will stand the test of time?"

We returned to the subject of what a 21st century earth dweller would be able to teach someone from a hundred or two hundred years ago?

Someone who knew how to work the land, traditional recipes for treatment of ailments.

Nowadays, we just look online or go down to the supermarket.

100 points scored. (Because 100 years is history...) Total 230


Kristen knew who George Harrison was (The benefit of listening to back episodes potential funksters...) 1 bonus point scored.

Total 231

Q5. Kristen picked the roller skates and the question is "What was ruined because it became popular?"

After asking if she could swear (the answer is no), Kristen said "The F word"

It is everywhere - on bookshelves, on T shirts. Maybe it is starred out but you sure know what it says.

FUNKY answer. 37 points scored.

Total 268

A slow start for Kristen with only 94 3/4 points after 2 questions. The literally story is worth a place in the post season playoffs in itself. 268 is a good score.

Q1. Bryan picked the VW camper van and the question is "What brand are you most loyal to?"

Bryan said Apple or Garmin BUT did indicate that he isn't a total slave. When his Garmin watch broke, he couldn't get on with Apple.

I suggested that large corporations being in a space that they just felt they needed to.

First Apple computer 1976 so 76 points scored.

Q2. Bryan knew the football shirt and so scored a bonus point. Total 77.

Bryan chose the phone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Bryan recounted shooting a video BEFORE his book was published saying that it was a best seller.

This is the world today. Best selling...

But what category ? In paddleboard yoga?

I recently finished a book by Tyler Hamilton who was one of Lance Armstrong's main wing men.

In a memorable passage, he recounts that if you look carefull at all cyclists on the podium from that era, you will see expressions of fear.

Fear that they are going to get caught and found out. Because they are living a lie.

Q4. Bryan chose the car and the question is "What from the present will withstand the test of time?"

Bryan answered mindfullness and plant based eating.

Do we need to be far down a road before we stop and make changes?

The political system in western cultures is on the way to being broken - how far down the road will we need to go before we make changes?

Their was no sign saying "Industrial Revolution - For 2 weeks only" - people living through it had no idea.

89 points (French Revolution 1789) - Total 209

Bryan correctly identified George Harrison. First person (I think) to get both bonus points on offer.

Bryan said Apple or Garmin BUT did indicate that he isn't a total slave. When his Garmin watch broke, he couldn't get on with Apple.

I suggested that large corporations being in a space that they just felt they needed to.

First Apple computer 1976 so 76 points scored.

Q2. Bryan knew the football shirt and so scored a bonus point. Total 77.

Bryan chose the phone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Bryan recounted shooting a video BEFORE his book was published saying that it was a best seller.

This is the world today. Best selling...

But what category ? In paddleboard yoga?

I recently finished a book by Tyler Hamilton who was one of Lance Armstrong's main wing men.

He agreed and his pre game reconnaissance led him to that conclusion also.

Q1. Nathen picked the cassette tape and the question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Nathen mentioned a couple of artists that were before my time and then the English rock group XTC.

Apparently they don't tour anymore despite the glut of throwback artists that are touring.

I guessed that "Making plans for Nigel" by XTC was 1979 so Nathen scored 79 points.

Good start.

Nathen knew the Soviet Union soccer short so scored an extra bonus point. Total 80.


Q2. Nathen picked the LP record and the question is "How many cards did you get on your last birthday?"

A solid discussion about the merits of real life birthday cards vs birthday wishes on Facebook and other social media.

Nathen told me before hand that he had recently celebrated his birthday and replied to every single person who wished him a happy Facebook birthday.

His score increased to 140. Work out how old he is.

Total 140

Q3. Nathen picked the radiogram and the question is "When you are old, what do you think children will ask you to tell stories about?"

Nathen answers MUSIC. Good discussion about how musicians can make money in the age of YouTube and spotify.

Nathen indicated that he had been a musician for 46 years. 46 points scored.

Total 186.

Q4. Nathen picked the girl playing the guitar and the question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Nathen replied "everyone" Good answer. Rounded up to 200 (to make it easy for me to add up).

I didn't want to risk Nathen being embarrassed by not know George Harrison. (Like you sometimes do when you are under pressure) so I awarded the point.

Total 201.

Q5. Nathen picked George and the question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life?"

Nathen told us about his recent trip to walk the comino trail in Spain.

Off mic, he had earlier told me that a good rule of thumb was to only carry 10% of your bodyweight in you pack.

When he got home, he weighed his pack and realised he was at 27%.

And used this as a sign that he needed to minimalise his life.

Powerful lesson.

The comino trail is 779 kilometres long so 79 points scored.

Q1. Dana picked the cassette tape and the question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger."

It is remarkable that in the days of cassette recorders, virtually every teenager around the world was sat rewinding cassettes with pencils and pens.

It is a wonder the single use battery ever took off.

Because Pink Floyd were the first number one of the 1980's - 80 points scored.

Q2. Dana knew that the shirt was a football shirt and probably european. 3/4 point bonus scored.

Dana picked the telephone and the question is "Tell us about your most recent lie"

Most people on the show don't tell lies - so we may have to change this question. 20 points only scored.

Total 100 3/4

Q3. Dana picked the London (red) bus and the question is "How ambitious are you really?"

It is powerful stuff when a professional speaker indicates that they rate themselves as 6/10 on the ambition scale.

Why I asked?

Because Dana admits she doesn't follow up as much as is possible and that this could bump it up to an 8/10.

If there is anyone reading, listening or watching who is an AUTHORITY on follow up. Please get in touch so we can have you on the show to discuss this further.

6/10 on ambition. 6 points scored.

Bit of a sloppy answer as far as Funk points are concerned.

Q4. Dana picked the girl playing the guitar and the question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Dana said her inner circle of friends. A continuation of the discussion from question 2 about do you be honest with someone or tell them a lie not to hurt their feelings?

Dana did not know who George Harrison was.

Q5. Dana picked the roller skates and the question is "What got ruined because it became popular?"

(Good answer this).

Dana said personal development.

Funkquest is a fun interactive online game that features five rounds. Each round consists of ONE FUNKY question.The player​ selects the icon which most tweaks their interest. Each Funky visual has a Funky question.
The Funky insight is that the question may or may not be related to the icon.

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.
Listening (without prejudice) to new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network truly qualifies as FUNKY.
Each question has a strict time limit. So no multi-headed long and complicated self indulgent stories to endure. Just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

Q5. Heather picked the roller skates. The question is what was ruined because it became popular.

Heather answered television because it not always better to have more choice.

Heather scored 565 points and she loves the arbitrary points.

No scratch that, Gabrielle Hartley is a Leading divorce lawyer, coach and mediator.

Is it possible to be a FUNKY THINKER in the legal profession.

Yes and this episode proves it.
Q1. Gabrielle chose the VW camper van and the question is "What brand are you most loyal to?"

Gabrielle answered Verizon. As a divorce lawyer, Gabriel needs crystal clear connections with no call drop.

I gave a version of how quality vs price for voice and data was explained to me.

If anyone from Verizon customer service wants to be on the show, please get in touch. We would love to find out what makes you so FUNKY.

75 points scored. This being half the cost of a US monthly phone contract.

Q2. Gabrielle picked the telephone (do you see the theme here) and the question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Gabrielle said she didn't lie and a discussion started.

What is a lie anyway?

If your kids ask for another biscuit and you reply "They are all gone?" when you know full well, there are loads left.

Is that a lie?

I asked what would be the professional course of action if a legal person knew or strongly suspected their client was tellies (or at least mistruths)?

The answer is to ask a simple question "Do you want to take a minute to think about that?"

13 points scored. Total 88.

Gabrielle did not know what the Soviet Union football shirt was.

Q3. Gabrielle picked the shoe. The question is "What are you currently worried about?"

A good answer this one - wanting the next generation to grow up knowing and thinking that they don't have to live in broken relationships.

30 points scored. Total 118

Q4. Gabrielle picked the guitar playing girl The question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Gabrielle answered people who are mean or grumpy or unhappy.

The world is full of unhappy people. May as well try to make them happier.

30 points scored. Total 148.

Q5. Gabrielle picked the roller skates. The question is "What got ruined because it became popular?"

RAPID FIRE ANSWER - Divorce.

Yes it probably is cheaper to get divorced than to get married in most countries.

80 Points scored. Total 228

After a good start talking about Verizon, Gabrielle's effort went slightly downhill.

Only 13 for the Salem witch story and 30 for the shoe. Rescued by the 80 on the roller skate.

Cathy Weiss is (I think) the first clairvoyant we have had on the show.
Cathy got 20 points start because I said I was going to be stricter on the time limit as I had allowed some answers to run over in recent episodes.

Q1. Cathy chose the astronaut and the question is "What problem are you currently grappling with?"

Cathy and her husband are discussing moving to Australia. (Where the Queen is actually Head of State).

Either as a worker or a tourist. Depending on how the immigration points stack up.

Is Australia the most regulated country in the western world? That's what I had thought.

The target is 65 points (to enter Australia) and so Cathy scored 65 points. Total so far 85.

Cathy kind of new the Soviet Union shirt so scored 1/2 a point.

Q2. A short discussion arose about the orange space hooper icon. (Not for the first time with a North American audience).

Cathy chose this and the question is "What is your secret talent?"

After a short discussion about swimming pool karate and the world wife carrying championship. One of those is real - guess which, we moved onto other matters.

Cathy realised that she is a clairvoyant. I aksed what she would say to people who disagreed or doubted. A shrug of the shoulders was the reply.

A swimming pool is 25 metres long so 25 points scored.

Total after Q2. 110 1/2 points.

Q3. Unlike most women, Cathy did not pick the shoe. (If someone sells shoes like these, please get in touch).

He works in a number of fields including Cincinnati Hacking Homelessness.
Q1. Michael picked the astronaut icon and the question is "What problem are you currently grappling with?"

Michael updated us on his Cincinnati hackling homeless project and wanting to get the views of the whole of the community.

24 points scored.

Q2. Michael successfully guessed the Soviet Union soccer shirt. Total 25.

Michael picked the shirt and the question is "Where is the most unusual place you have been?"

Michael went to Moscow in 1994.

Is Moscow safe to visit?

We see other countries on TV and assume that they really are like that. We were brought up to think that Russia (or the Soviet Union) was scary and dangerous.

People are people all around the world. They have thoughts, fears, dreams, wants, desires.

The Funky Thinkers guide to visiting other countries.

Obey local laws and customs. (They may be different to your own).
Do what local police and officials say. (They could arrest you if you don't)
If you see trouble - go the other way.

(Check this insight from Lisa-Marie Platske on her visit to Ethiopia)

As Michael visited in 1994, 94 points scored.

A Russian hat is called a Ushanka. (Picture below)

Total 119 points

Q3. Michael picked the London bus. The question is "How ambitious are you really?"

I had never heard this before (and if anyone knows more detail, please get in touch, we woul love to get you on FUNKQUEST).

Everyone has a circle of life. Feeling good, feeling bad. It goes in cycles and takes around a month.

Michael ventured that for most high performing people, it went in days if not hours.

Michael wants to roll out his homeless project to 100 cities. 100 points scored. Total 219

Q4. Michael picked the girl playing the guitar. The question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Any outsider or bystander.

We talked about people at networking events. Standing alone. Waiting for someone to come and talk to them.

Michael scored 6 points. On account of the siz degrees of separation thing.

Q5.Michael thought that George Harrison was Inigo Montoya so no points scored on that.

He chose George Harrison and the question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life?"

Given that we had already found in question 1 that Michael is constantly figuring out what he is going to do with his life, we agreed all the time.

It is five years since Michael stepped out of corporate so 5 points scored.

Contact Michael via CincinnattiHackingHomelessness.com and if you work in the homeless space, contact us and we will get you on the show.

A solid entry onto the leader board from Michael with 230 points.

Ben told us that he is on his 1000th straight day of drinking a double espresso from a niche coffee machine maker.

Score 89 points.

Ben did know the CCCP football shirt. (Because he had listened to back episodes).

Q2. Ben chose the telephone and the question is "What was your most recent lie?" Ben told us about telling his dogs that he would take them to the park.

AFTER he finished this next project or task. I asked him about deadlines, projects and tasks in the academic world.

Pretty much the same as the real world (his words). Some you can ignore and some really are set in stone.

Ben is working on a chapter for a book with a co-author. The deadline is 31st October and so Ben scored 31 points. Total 121

Q3. Ben chose the typewriter and the question is "What's some insider knowledge of your industry that you can share with us?"

Ben gave two pieces of advice.

The first from the academic world is that you will always have stuff to do. Be comfortable with that. Accept there is nothing you can do about it.

The second was from the physiology world. Contrary to popular belief. Muscle stiffness that day after a hard session is not caused by lactic acid build up.

It is caused by micro muscles tears causing inflamtion.

Because a standard marathon is 26.2 miles, Ben scored 26.2 points.

Q4. Ben chose the blue car. The question is "What from the present will withstand the test of time?"

A decent length discussion about human relationships. Some people ARE happy shouting at mindless trash on TV.

Only Funky Thinkers will seek out people with a different point of view knowing it's OK to disagree without descending into the cesspit of social media.

To make it easy on the maths, I rounded Ben's score up to 200. (You try adding .2's in your head...)

Ben knew who George Harrison was. (Again shows the benefit of listening to Funkquest back episodes). +1 point

Q5. Ben chose the horse drawn carriage. The question is "What things about the opposite sex most confuse you?"

Ben believes that men are more direct, women less so.

The exception being women from southern states (in the US) who could be as insulting as can be, so long as they added the words "Bless your heart" on the end.

Ben scored 90 points for this question.

Why ? I don't know.

Which means that we have a NEW leader on the leaderboard.

Ben should expect dancing girls and general fuss at his house in the next few days.

Ben has two podcasts and you can find the links to these on this link.

Why so Funky?

Having such strong help views is one thing - having them while living in a socially conservative country such as Colombia is another.

In this episode, procrastination, Auschwitz, knowledge, books and that guy from the Beatles.
Isabel Firecracker got an initial one point start for being the first person from Colombia to play Funkquest.

Q1. Isabel chose the man on the moon and the question is what problem are you currently grappling with.

Being honest (a good Funky Thinker quality), Isabel said procrastination. Her brain is like chicken brain.

And Isabel, they offer of sending a picture of your desk and adding it to the show notes is still open...

Funky Thinkers think that procrastination is an internet disease.

Before the internet, we would focus on one thing until completion. Watching a TV show, doing homework.

DONE. UNTIL. COMPLETION.

Now, we are playing on phones, watching TV, doing other stuff.

We would like to hear more about how people deal with procrastination.

People we need on the show. Someone who has got procrastination and dealing with distractions DIALLED.

Isabel has 80 things on her desk. So 80 points scored.

Q2. Isabel did know that the old Soviet Union football shirt was a football shirt was. But not the country. So 1/2 point.

The question is "Where is the most interesting place you have been?"

Isabel had recently been to Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp in Poland.

Instead of being gloomy as she expected, it was a bright sunny day and almost like a public park.

Very unusual (and FUNKY for a Colombian person to go to Auschwitz).

Stories are that the silence at these places is almost defeaning. People talking in hushed voices and are there to learn about the history.

Auschwitz was liberated in 1945 so Isabel got 45 points. Total FUNKPOINTS so far 126 1/2

Q3. Isabel picked the show (most ladies do) and the question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Not much was Isabel's answer.

The quote from Reinhold Niebuhr cropped up. Although, when recording the show, we couldn't remember it, or him.

“Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.”

To make the maths easy, I rounded Isabel's score up to 150 points.

Q4. Isabel picked the car - I think this is the first time it has been picked.

The question is "What from the present with stand the test of time?"

Isabel said knowledge and I slightly pressed her about what is knowledge in the days of the internet.

With so much stuff out there, what people THINK is important. The internet is the world's school gate.

20 points scored. Total 171 1/2


Q5. Isabel picked George Harrison and the question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life.

A quick discussion about what this phrase meant. Is it an anglo-phile phrase? I didn't think so.

I told the story about Vinnie Jones (retired British footballer) recounting how after his wife died, he noticed things going on as normal.

Isabel has a new lease of life in 2017. So she scored SEVENty points.

Total 240 1/2

Funkquest is a fun interactive online game that features five rounds. Each round consists of ONE FUNKY question.The player​ selects the icon which most tweaks their interest. Each Funky visual has a Funky question.
The Funky insight is that the question may or may not be related to the icon.

SO potential Funksters have to think on their feet to score points. Points are awarded by me for FUNKY answers...

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.
Listening (without prejudice) to new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network truly qualifies as FUNKY.
Each question has a strict time limit. So no multi-headed long and complicated self indulgent stories to endure. Just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!
Q1. Rusty chose the cassette tape. The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Two albums cropped up. The musical Jesus Christ Superstar and the Stray cat strut.

Rustie played both of these until they wore out. Although we might have come across the Stray Cats at different points in their career.

People we need on the show. Anyone with an understanding of music and why it has the emotional impact on us that it does.

Score 81 points. This is the approximate year that I became aware of the stray cats.

Q2. Rustie chose the space hopper. Although did not know what it was. A short discussion followed. The Soviet Union shirt score half a point.

The quesion is "What's your secret talent?" and Rustie replied cooking. Basil, onion and garlic especially.

We talked about overweight people in the US. Is it a myth? Answer no.

Celiacs are unable to tolerate wheat and barley. Something I didn't know. Score 70 points.

Being more famous in Australia than your hometown. Plus, people who are able to listen without prejudice and take something in rather than blindly ruling it out.

Rustie made a good pitch for 34,000 points but I was having non of it and awarded 34.

Total 185 1/2

Q4. Rustie chose the radio gram and the question was "What habit do you have now that you wish you had started earlier?"

We discussed staying in bed and staring at the ceiling for 10 minutes.
In a world where we are told we need to crush it, and blast it and smash it, how FUNKY is it to spend 10 minutes listening to your breath and planning what you need to do that day. (Or whatever?)

Score 10 points (for 10 minutes).

Total 195 1/2

Q5. Rustie chose the roller blades and the question is "What got ruined because it became popular?"

We came up with a list.

TV,Romance, The internet, social media.

Hands up if you remember the world before social media where you could go and build a tree house?

Rustie score 70 points because that is the time most FUNKY THINKERS associate with this lifestyle.

We didn't get into her experiences as a rape survivor but we did talk about climbing trees making dens and the impact the internet has had on this lifestyle. ​What are the FUNKQUEST...​What are the FUNKQUEST rules?

Funkquest is a fun interactive online game that features five rounds. Each round consists of ONE FUNKY question.The player​ selects the icon which most tweaks their interest. Each Funky visual has a Funky question.
The Funky insight is that the question may or may not be related to the icon.

SO potential Funksters have to think on their feet to score points. Points are awarded by me for FUNKY answers...

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.
Listening (without prejudice) to new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network truly qualifies as FUNKY.
Each question has a strict time limit. So no multi-headed long and complicated self indulgent stories to endure. Just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!
Q1. Rusty chose the cassette tape. The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Two albums cropped up. The musical Jesus Christ Superstar and the Stray cat strut.

Rustie played both of these until they wore out. Although we might have come across the Stray Cats at different points in their career.

People we need on the show. Anyone with an understanding of music and why it has the emotional impact on us that it does.

Score 81 points. This is the approximate year that I became aware of the stray cats.

Q2. Rustie chose the space hopper. Although did not know what it was. A short discussion followed. The Soviet Union shirt score half a point.

The quesion is "What's your secret talent?" and Rustie replied cooking. Basil, onion and garlic especially.

We talked about overweight people in the US. Is it a myth? Answer no.

Celiacs are unable to tolerate wheat and barley. Something I didn't know. Score 70 points.

Question 1 - Veronica chose the cassette tape. The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger."

Madonna cropped up (again). Robert Smith from The Cure (for the first time). Robert was Veronica's first crush.
This was in about 1989. So Veronica scored 89 points.

Veronica knew the Soviet Union short was a football/soccer shirt. So that scored 1/2. Remember future FUNKQUEST guests - to score two easy points - know the Soviet Union football shirt and who George Harrison is.

Question 2 - Veronica chose the telephone. The question is "Tell us about your most recent lie"

Hopefully, Veronica's husband isn't listening because she recently bought some clothes (note the plural) and told him they were in the sale.
But they weren't... Discussion about Imelda Marcos.

Question 3 - Veronica chose the London Bus. The question is "How ambitious are you ? Really"

We discussed the niche of handmaking throwback and clothes from previous era. Some of which are bought by men.

Question 4 - Veronica picked the girl playing the guitar. The question is "Who do you go out of your way to be nice to?"

Veronica recounted the story when a young homeless man wanted £2 for a burger from McDonalds.

To make sure that he didn't spend the money on drink or drugs, Veronica marched him down to the restaurant and made him eat the burger.

For the picture of George Harrison - Veronica suggested it might be somebody from the Rolling Stones. (On account of the hair). That scored 1/2 point.

Total after 4 questions - 198 3/4

Question 5 - Veronica picked the picture of George Harrison. The question is "When was the last time you had a new lease of life?"

We discussed mums and dads going on bouncy castles and water slides and why lego was invented with the sole aim of harming parents' feet.

Q1. Carrie chose the spaceman and the question is "What problem are you currently grapling with?"

Carrie recounted driving from Ottawa, Canada to Houston, Texas with a large fluffy dog in the car.

Hotels don't generally allow dogs inside so en route Carrie had to stay with him AND figure out how to get food and stay with him all the while.

I never realised that the language ability of a dog is about on par with a toddler and yes, some states do have motels at the side of the road, just as we see them in films...

Pro tip - If you have a blow up mattress - don't blow it up by yourself with your own windpower. You will end up feeling light headed.

Q2. Carrie did know that the shirt was a football/soccer shirt but not that it belonged to the old Soviet Union. So she scored half a point.

Carrie picked the old telephone. The question is "What was your most recent lie?"

Carrie doesn't lie and isn't comfortable talking about lying.

What kind of lies are acceptable?

The only kind of lies which were acceptable in Carrie's family are little white lies to make outsiders feel comfortable.

When someone asks "How does this outfit look?" and you don't know them well enough to say "You shouldn't really be wearing that..." So you say "You look great..."

How much is lying affected by the internet?

Q3. Carrie picked the shoe. (Ladies always pick the FUNKY shoe). The question is "What are you currently worried about?"

Carrie is worried about closing the sale and we discussed the difference in approaching buy a tyre (or tire) for your car (or a washing machine or any other essential but laborious purchase) versus a piece of art that you would just hang on a wall and look at.

Plus - the more uncomfortable you put yourself, in different situations, the better.

Q4. Carrie chose the laundromatter (or the laundrette). The question is "How do you judge a person?"

Carrie judges a person by how much artwork they have in their home. When she met her now husband, there was no art. Result - if they stuck it out - he would be mouldable.

What does someone have on their walls? Is it prints from Van Gogh or some random think from Ikea. Ikea do buy and licence work from established artists so don't diss it all.

Plus "What books do people read?" is a great way to judge people AND a great conversation starter.

How do you show your personality through art is another question to ask.

Q5. Carrie did know who George Harrison is - so a bonus point for that. The question is "What was ruined before it became popular?"

In high school, Carrie loved Alanis Morrissette and when she became popular (Alanis), the novelty wore off.

How much does an artist or a singer have to obey the rules of mainstream. There is a conflict between the desire to earn money AND be creative.

Q1. Lana picked the camper van. (Or as she called it a beetle bop). The question is "Which brand are you most loyal to?"

Lana talked about the difference between brand loyalty and food loyalty.

Plus how much natural food advertising is glossy PR and how much is real?

Real is something that will feel good when you put it into your body, rather than being taken in by the advertising.

If there are more than three or four ingredients on a label, Lana just stops reading and puts the item in question down.

Plus - the total disconnect between what people eat and how it makes them feel.

57 points for that round.

Q2. Lana knew that the jersey was a shirt and scored 1 point.

Lana picked the record player and the question is "How many birthday cards did you get last birthday?"

Lana got 7 Birthday cards from her children.

What does Lana think about wishing people happy birthday on Facebook?

A real card is a real "I love you" - because people spent 5 minutes. You can own this card forever.

Is it OK to keep birthday cards and give them back?

This IS HISTORY...

Lana scored 100 points for this round. Because it was a good answer.

Q3. Lana chose the typewriter and the question is "What is some insider knowledge that only people in your line of work have?"

Some of what people call "Insider knowledge" is actually intuition?

You can go to the supermarket and use your insider knowledge to buy good and wholesome food. Is this drink good for me?

We need to get to eating whole - like our grandparents did.

Lana scored 24 points and is now on 182.

Q4. Lana went with laundromat and the question is "How do you judge a person?"

Lana judges with her heart rather than how someone smells or looks or talks.

Even a person who might look like a bum on a street - might have something inside them.

Judging of people is lazyness.

How to get through fakeness?

Answer - you listen.

Lana scored 150 points and the running total is 218 points.

Q5. Lana mistook George Harrison for John Lennon so half a point for that one.

Lana went for the horse and cart. The question is "What things do the opposite sex confuse you the most?"

In her younger days, Lana used to think that members of the opposite sex would (or should) know what she was thinking. If she was hurt or upset - they should know why.

If you aren't telling me that something is wrong - I can't fix it.

Lana says what she is feeling in a kind and loving way - so they know.

Women are fast thinkers - says Lana - a women. She would like to have a mans brain sometime to figure out how it feels.

Plus - Block sequential thinking cropped up.

Lana lives about 70 miles from the Canadian border and the total is 288 1/2 points.

Q1. Allen chose the cassette tape. (He hadn't seen one of those in a long time).

The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Allen picked rock and roll. Van Halen, aerosmith etc. Allen did own a pair of bleach jeans, long hair.

Allen scored 77 points. Because that is when punk rock made it over here.

Allen did know that the shirt and is on 78.

Q2. Allen chose the telephone box. The question is "What was your most recent lie?"

I had feared this because the show was originally a Mr & Mrs Combo with Mrs Wagner also... But she was ill.

Allen realised that his memory sucked and telling lies was a bad idea.

Tell the truth - or as much as the age appropriate truth could be.

Allen tried for 500 points, because he didn't say a number. But for being cheeky, I knocked it down to 50.

Q3. Allen picked the London bus. (He always wanted to ride on one). The question is "How ambitious are you really?"

Taking extra time at night - when everyone is watching game of thrones - to do the hard stuff that no one sees.

Katherine Grainger (gold medalist London olympics, rowing) cropped up.

When asked "Don't you miss your family, she replied. It's not what I miss, it's what I want. I want to be Olympic champion, world champion, Commonwealth champion.

And this is what I need to do to get it. 36 points for this question.

Q4. Allen chose the laundrette. (Or as he called it - The laundromatte). The question is "How do you judge people?"

The concept of looking into people rather than up to them has cropped up before. Allen talked about the person's sense of self. Probably tricky to establish in the make believe world of Los Angeles.

The fast show cropped up and that series was from about 1999 - so Allen scored 99 points.

Q5. Allen did know who George Harrison was - so he score a point.

Allen chose the horse and buggy. We call it a horse and cart. The question is "What things about the opposite sex confuse you the most?"

As a male therapist, Allen spends a lot of time with women. His time in grad school was him and 20 women.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/18120943Thu, 30 May 2019 09:20:37 +0000Funky ThinkersAllen Wagner is the latest player to take on FUNKQUEST.

​What are the FUNKQUEST rules?

Funkquest is a fun interactive online game that features five rounds. Each round consists of ONE FUNKY question.The player​ selects the icon which most tweaks their interest. Each Funky visual has a Funky question.
The Funky insight is that the question may or may not be related to the icon.

SO potential Funksters have to think on their feet to score points. Points are awarded by me for FUNKY answers...

What's so good about FUNKQUEST ​?

​Funky Thinkers know that IDEAS only come from free-flowing CONVERSATION.
Listening (without prejudice) to new ideas and speakers from outside your usual network truly qualifies as FUNKY.
Each question has a strict time limit. So no multi-headed long and complicated self indulgent stories to endure. Just short punchy bite-sized truly Funky ideas, as we GET THE FUNK OUT!

Q1. Allen chose the cassette tape. (He hadn't seen one of those in a long time).

The question is "Tell us about your record and tape collection when you were younger"

Allen picked rock and roll. Van Halen, aerosmith etc. Allen did own a pair of bleach jeans, long hair.

Allen scored 77 points. Because that is when punk rock made it over here.

Allen did know that the shirt and is on 78.

Q2. Allen chose the telephone box. The question is "What was your most recent lie?"

I had feared this because the show was originally a Mr & Mrs Combo with Mrs Wagner also... But she was ill.

A brief chat about speaking French with the first (I think) French-speaking guest we have had on the show.

Conversational French lessons are available with Chantal.

Q1. Chantal picked the astronaut and the question is "What problem are you currently grappling with?"

Chantal called it a mind twist and referred to them as challenges.

We talked about finding clients who have a different way they want to work. Chantal prefers people to work how she works.

If they don't like it, maybe they aren't a good match.

Chantal wants 50 new clients by this time next year — so that's 50 points.

Q2. Chantal chose the space hopper. The question is "What is your secret talent?"

Chantal has a knack of grasping what is going on and dig for the message that is needed.

You could call this a sixth sense. "Don't ask me why...?" or "My witch nose is telling me..."

6 points scored

Q3. Chantal chose the London bus and the question is "How ambitious are you really?"

If you decide to do something — you might as well go all in. You might fail — but the quicker you are to pick yourself up.

People we need on the show. Someone who knows about the psychology of having your photograph taken. Please get in touch.

Chantal scored 93 points.


Q4. Chantal chose the lady hanging out of the launderette. The question is "How do you judge a person?"

Maybe it is because Chantal is getting older, that she prefers not to judge, but to understand. Maybe, if we have our own challenges in life, we are more understanding.

One type of people that Chantal does judge is salepeople. A typical low cost mobile monthly rental is about £15 so Chantal scored 15 points.


Q5. Chantal didn't know George Harrison. Chantal chose roller skates and the The question is "What got ruined because it became popular?"

The answer is general tourist sites and those places you have to queue up for to have those "iconic" photos taken.

Chantal scored 20 points.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17157900Wed, 27 Feb 2019 10:04:15 +0000Funky ThinkersWhy is that we already know that a salesperson is going to try and sell us something?

In this episode -
Q1 - Michael picked the hippies - We discussed sales mixology and why bar tenders (good ones) are worth studying for all salespeople.

Q2 - Michael picked the space hopper - We discussed Michael's secret talent which is singing. Next time you meet her - ask for a quick rendition of "When the banana skins are falling,I'll come sliding back to you."

Q3 - Michael picked the shoe - (I suspect in time - most women will select the shoe - we might have to remove it). Michael discussed her concerns about her upcoming 50th birthday. Note from host - nothing happens. No dancing girls, no message from the Queen. Nothing

Q4 - Michael picked the guitarist - We discussed homelessness and people selling the next step/Big issue. Remember, we have a slot on the show for a badged seller of one of these magazines.Contact us to discuss.

Q5 - Michael selected the roller skates - We discussed the opposite sex and emotions.]]>https://api.spreaker.com/episode/17114542Fri, 22 Feb 2019 09:32:55 +0000Funky ThinkersPlayed under FUNKQUEST rules - Michael Sherlock and myself talk why bartenders are worth studying, homeless people selling magazines, 50th birthdays, singing and more.
