Speaker 1: cooked something up for us.
Speaker 2: My puzzle lab.
Speaker 3: Indeed, this is puzzle is called Leader of the Package,
Speaker 3: and it's a puzzle where we mash up world leaders
Speaker 3: and well known products.
Speaker 1: World leader and now were these current world leaders or
Speaker 1: these from all of history?
Speaker 2: They could be from all of history, all.

Speaker 1: ready to try this now.
Speaker 3: This is just like your favorite game, Gorillas in the
Speaker 3: Mystic Pizza. Accept Instead of mashing up movies, we're mashing
Speaker 3: up a world leader and a brand, always in that order. Okay,
Speaker 3: And it's only a matter of time before politicians and
Speaker 3: products turn into the same thing. Anyway, there, you might
Speaker 3: as well do it here on the puzzler first. So
Speaker 3: I'll give you a slogan or a description of the
Speaker 3: combined product and leader, and you tell me the blended name. So,
Speaker 3: for example, I might say, like its father, this Irish
Speaker 3: whiskey became President of the United States.

Speaker 3: Give you another one. This is back into the past.
Speaker 3: This supersonic jet airliner can get you from London to
Speaker 3: New York in half the time and conquer most of
Speaker 3: Central Asia and China while doing it.
Speaker 1: All right, I feel I feel much better now now
Speaker 1: you're getting into the one like, you know, the the
Speaker 1: Middle Ages and before I feel better. So that would
Speaker 1: be Genghis Concord.
Speaker 3: Genghis Concord exactly, Genghis Khan, the Mongol leader who conquered
Speaker 3: most of Central Asia. And of course the Concord, the
Speaker 3: now defunct supersonic jet airliner.
Speaker 1: But they're bringing one back apparently.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, coming soon.
Speaker 3: Let me give you one more, also historical. The eleventh
Speaker 3: president of the United States. He oversaw the largest expansion
Speaker 3: of territory in the nation's history thanks to his alliance
Speaker 3: with Pikachu, Charizard and Jigglypuff.
Speaker 1: All Right, well, first of all, I'm thrown because the
Speaker 1: largest expansion in I thought that was the Louisiana purchase.
Speaker 3: He acquired through the Mexican American territory some territory from Britain.
Speaker 1: Well, by the way, that was a good hint, thank you.
Speaker 1: So that was James K.
Speaker 2: Polk. I'm on, James K. Pokemon exactly. I would buy
Speaker 2: that Charizard.

Speaker 3: recently deceased Supreme Court Justice.
Speaker 1: Okay, fast food chain founded by recently deceased Supreme Court Justice.
Speaker 1: I'm not even going to try, because that way I
Speaker 1: can retain the delusion that I would get it immediately
Speaker 1: if I did try. So I am going to leave
Speaker 1: listeners with that. But please, puzzlers, don't forget to subscribe

Speaker 3: Hello puzzlers, Greg Pliska hear from the Puzzle Lab with
Speaker 3: the extra credit answer from our our previous episode, we
Speaker 3: played with Joel Stein and we were giving clues to
Speaker 3: magazine names that were taken too literally. We'd give you
Speaker 3: an example of an article from that magazine and you
Speaker 3: have to tell us what the magazine is. The clue
Speaker 3: we gave you was short and sweet. Why five minutes
Speaker 3: of quiet is the best way to discipline children? That,
Speaker 3: of course would be from the well known magazine Time Out.
Speaker 3: Of course, that's not what timeout's really about, but in
Speaker 3: our fanciful world, that's what it is. Thanks for playing along,
