Hey, everybody, welcome to the stuff I never knew trivia game show podcast. I'm
jeff. I'm your host. We're on the armstrong neighborhood channel. I've got
three great guests. Mike, martha and
snowman in the morning. Brian, snow, let's hear that theme
music.
All right, as you know, on this show, we get right into it.
My guests mike, martha and brian, we're going to
go in that order and we're playing a game tonight called the
simpsons or seinfeld. In this game, I'm going to read
you an episode title from either the simpsons or seinfeld.
You have to tell me, what episode was it? Was it a simpsons
episode or the seinfeld episode?
Mike, the way we was
is that the simpsons or seinfeld?
I'm going to go with the simpsons. The
simpsons is
correct. Season two, episode twelve. One point for
mike. Over to martha. The cheever
letters. The cheever letters that's
seinfeld. Seinfeld is
correct. From season four. To brian,
the bubble boy. The bubble boy.
Simpsons. Simpsons is
incorrect. It was seinfeld. Seinfeld.
Back to mike, the new kid
on the block. I think this one is also
simpsons. The simpsons is
correct. From another season I ran heavy on season four.
And to martha, the boy
who knew too much.
The simpsons. The simpsons is
correct. Moved on to season five that time. All
right, to brian. The trouble with trillions. The
trouble with trillions is that simpsons or
seinfeld.
Seinfeld. Seinfeld is
incorrect. It's the simpsons.
And our last one in this round, back to mike,
the diplomats club.
I'm going to say for this one, seinfeld.
Seinfeld is
correct. It is seinfeld. To
martha the wigmaster.
Is that seinfeld. Seinfeld is
correct. Correct. And
last one to brian, the cartoon.
Simpsons gotta be simpsons is
incorrect. It was seinfeld. Seinfeld
did the cartoon. A little curveball there. Let's check that
scoreboard. We have mike and martha with three.
Brian, because you have a different score, you get a little advantage going
into round two. You can pick the order. You can either
keep it the same, change it up, mix it up, whatever you want to do,
the call is yours. I'll lead off
and mike goes last. All right, so we will go in round
two. Brian, Martha and
Mike. Brian, you're going to the hot seat.
Oh, boy. Brian, welcome to the show. Where are you calling in from?
Scipio, Indiana. Just south of Indianapolis, Indiana.
Oh, wow. That's amazing. Tell us a little bit about what's happening out there and
about some of the podcasts you produce. Well, I have
two. I have snowman in the morning with Cole Johnson. That's my morning
show. And then I have the Brian Snow show in the afternoon.
I also do alternative play by play of different games that
I want to cover. I do Monday night Baseball, thursday
night WNBA, although I skipped it tonight for
physical reasons. I manage my
own website, and when I get back in the booth full
time, I'll be doing play by play. So
that's me. And if people wanted to go to that website, how can they find
you? Snowman multimediasports.com.
Snowman multimediasports.com. That link will be in the show notes that
everybody can check you out. Check it out. I know you're on Facebook a lot.
I see, you know, make those connections. And
are you ready? I'm ready for the hot
seats. Let's do
it. All right, each of my contestants tonight are going to get three
questions from these three categories. A, multiple choice, fresh
greens and back in time. Multiple choice.
Your first question, Brian. The Bay Area
Rapid transit system is used in which city
is it? Boston, Miami, San
Francisco or Vancouver. Bay
area. It can't be
that easy, can it? Bay Area Transit
system. The Bay Area Rapid Transit System. Bay
Area Rapid Transit.
How the heck would it I'll take a guess, and I'll say San
Francisco. Going with your gut is I'm going with my
gut. Correct. San Francisco is correct.
All right. Got one. It can be that easy.
You're right. Saying the first point is the toughest. We're
done with that. True or false, Brian?
Daffodils. Grow to face the sun.
I'm going to say.
I'm going to say true. True. Back to back
is correct. Two points for you.
And our third question back in time. What was banned
in Mississippi in 1907 and did not become legal
again until 1966?
Banned in Mississippi?
Alcohol. Alcohol
for three is correct. Three for three.
And we do a five point bonus question. Each guest will get
a name five. I'll put 10 seconds on the clock. Once I read you
the clue, all you have to do is tell me five things that fit into
this category. All right, Brian. Name five
desserts that are served warm and
go. Good grief.
Because all my desserts are cold. I can't
do it. I can't do you're out of time. We
got three points in that second round. Pretty good. We're going to move
Martha to the hot seat. Martha, are you ready?
I think so. That last one kind of scared me. Well,
the timer is a little bit of emphasis, so Martha tell
us where you're calling from. Oh, I am in
DC. Very, very hot and humid washington,
DC. Tonight and what's going on in
know sometimes you hear news stories coming out of that area. Anything.
I mean, really the weather is all anyone's talking about or thinking about.
Right know
it's know we've got politicians.
It's Hollywood for ugly. So that's
what's going on around here. Well, tell us a little bit about what you do
with DC. And a little bit about your show and how can people connect with
you. Yeah, so I have a podcast,
like a lot of podcasts. I created it
because it was something I was looking for and I needed
and there wasn't anything out there like it. And my podcast
is called my Aloof Vagina and
it's a women's health podcast. It's about
perimenopause, but it's kind of a cheeky guide to
perimenopause. Instead of being doom and gloom or
too medical, it's girlfriends talking and then bringing experts and
talking, fun experts, people who will laugh about it so that we
don't feel like we're crazy or that our lives are
over. Because I'm in that stage. Can
you believe it? Right? So
it happens to us younger than we think. So that's my show
and I can be found. I'm on all the socials but I can be found
through my website. Myaloofvagina.com takes you to
everything. Very nice. I'll put that link in the show notes.
Martha, are you ready
for the hot seats? Yes. All right. I'm already hot.
Can you see how it's hot? The glasses are cooling
you off. Those are some super cool glasses. We like those. Thank you.
All right, your multiple choice question. Which of
these is one of the seven dwarves from
Snow White? Is it dozy lazy
grumpy wishful.
Grumpy. Grumpy is
correct. Woohoo. Your 50 50
chance question. Which came first, flowering
plants or dinosaurs?
I'm going to say flowering plants. Flowering plants. Always bet on
dinosaurs. It is dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs and you're back in time. We
always ask a real historical question. What year
did Marty McFly travel back to in Back to the
future? I will be honest, fans wrote
in last time we did this question. There are two acceptable answers
as he does travel back and then back. So I will
accept one of two years. 1950.
919. 59
is so close. 55 or 85. Oh, see,
that's what I was darn it. I was thinking past because of course I was
in high school when that came out and we watched it and that was the
past. That was the best. Yeah. Are you ready
for that time clock that made you nervous? Yes. I need to
make up the points. I'm going to read you the clue. I'll put 10 seconds
on the clock. Martha, name five foods
sold in jars. And go artichoke
hearts. Pickles
peanut butter, pickled, beets,
martini, onions. Martini at the buzzer. You started
saying it before the buzzer. Went off. That is five points for
you. Yay. Nice work. Let's
move Mike to the hot seat. Mike, how's
it going? It's going. I'm nervous now after watching
the two of them, so Brian really hooked me up. Well,
this is the part of the show that's a little bit intense, but you get
to do some great plugs and we get to meet you. And I believe
you're the longest distance call in on tonight's show. Where are you calling in
from? From Eva Beach, Hawaii. Is it even
lunchtime there yet? It's about 730 here. Lunchtime.
Very nice. What's going on in Hawaii? What are you having for lunch?
I don't know yet. We're going to figure that out after I
get off here. But nothing much going on out here except
for pretty beautiful weather, and it's probably cooler here
than where you guys are at. We stay pretty steady
in the 80s. Don't make us too jealous. Living in
Hawaii, nice, cool weather all the time.
I want a piece of that life. Yeah. We're going
to move the show. We're going to budget that for 2024. But Mike, I know
you've got a great podcast. Tell us a little bit about it and how can
people connect with you? Sure. Yeah. So my podcast is called
the Average Joe finances podcast. It's about
personal finances, how to invest real estate,
like all different types of alternative investments. But the main thing is
to give financial literacy to people and help
people make those better decisions, financial decisions. To
find me, you could find all my stuff. I also have a podcast editing
business, and everything about me is on my personal website.
Mikecavagoni.com, you could find everything.
And I'll definitely spell cavagoni in the show notes. The link will be
there. You can connect with Mike and all my guests. You'll find all their links
in the show notes. Mike, are you
ready for the hot seat? No, but I guess I don't have a
choice. That's correct. Mike, your multiple choice
question. Who is the shaggy man
beast that supposedly lives in the Himalayas?
Is it chewbacca mothra,
yeti or yak? I forgot it was multiple choice. Yeti.
Yeti is correct.
And your 50 50 guess. This is a true or false. Orchids
are a member of the Asparagus family.
Oh. Man.
You know, I used to want to be a botanist when I was a kid.
Now I'm going to kick myself in the butt. I'm going to
say all those years learning just to answer. I'm just thinking of the way orchids
grow. I'm going to say true. True. Good way to put that together.
The stems are very similar. Orchids are
part of the Asparagus family
and our back in time. Which country gave the United
States? The Statue of Liberty.
France. France is
correct. And your name? Five
sticking with the foods. Name five foods sold from
a cart vendor or food truck and go,
hot. Dogs, tacos, Thai,
food,
cheesesteaks. I got four of the
five in the ten second. That ten second comes up a lot faster
than you think. Let's go to that scoreboard and see how are
we doing. Heading into the final round, where there's still
30 points available, we have Mike in the lead with
ten, martha with nine, Brian with three. But like I said, we have
30 points coming up here. And in this round, I've
asked each of my guests to bring their own buzzers. This is one of my
favorite parts of the show. We're going to test those buzers now so people at
home know who's buzzing in. Mike, let's hear your buzzer.
He's got the lightsaber and Martha
got beads in a jar. One of my favorites. Pen in a Jar
might be my absolute favorite. And Brian,
he's the Family Feud Buzzer. Richard
Dawson's making an appearance. So in this round, it's a video
round. I'm going to play you a series of videos
and each video has a very simple question. Who am I? Where am I?
What am I? And I'm going to start to read a series of clues that
help you answer that. Now, if you buzz in on the first clue,
you're going to get three points to answer that question. If it's correct. If
you do it on the second clue, two points. The last clue is worth one
point. You buz in using your buzzer when you're ready.
If you're right, you'll earn the points, but if you're wrong,
you can lose the point value for the question. So you want
to be fast, but you also want to be correct.
It can swing wildly in this round. And if you're
ready, let's go to that first one. We're looking
for an historical barrier. So
which historical barrier am I looking for?
It was constructed in
1961
and you'll get about 1012 seconds for each
clue. And remember, all three clues have to
match. It was then demolished in
1989. Martha? The Berlin
Wall. The Berlin Wall, for two points is
correct. The Berlin Wall. So that's how
this round is played. We have nine more questions. I'm looking
for an animal. Which animal am I looking for?
One of these is noted for his smile in the Lewis
Carroll classic
Martha Cat. Cat is
correct. It is cat. Three points
already for Martha. All right, we're looking
for a fictional character.
His parents, James and Lily,
unfortunately were murdered.
Mike with the lightsaber.
Tarzan. Tarzan is
incorrect. Incorrect.
We'll keep the clues going here. See a little timer on the
right? Our second clue
on film, he is played by Daniel Radcliffe. I think
Martha had that one. I wasn't sure with the first one. I was kind of
nervous. Harry Potter. Harry Potter
is correct. Correct.
All right, this one's, I think everybody's going to know this one. Which
iconic 90s pop group?
The phenomenon of their popularity was compared to that
of beetle mania?
Remember my clues and my images may not always match, but they
might. With more than 75 million records
sold around the world, they are the best selling female group of all time.
Martha. Hold on.
The Spice Girls.
It is the Spice Girl.
How. All right. Martha is crushing us.
We still have six questions remaining. Six times
math is 18 points. We're looking for a decade. This is a one out of
ten. A decade in the 20th century. The Soviet war
in Afghanistan ended in this decade.
Our second clue, MTV was launched in the United
States. I think that Martha was fast on the buzzer.
The 1980s. 1980S is
correct. All right, we're
looking for a planet. All right. Could be
any planet, anywhere. It's big galaxy. It
is the fifth largest of the eight
planets in our solar system with the surface area of
510,000,000 km squared.
And that picture is pointing right to it. Just in case
you're all right, our second clue.
It is the densest planet in our solar
system.
Brian? I'll take a shot and say Mercury.
Mercury is
incorrect for two points. And
we'll go to that third clue for one point.
It is the third rock from the sun
over to mike? Earth.
Earth is
correct. Correct. Which planet? Well, it's Planet Earth. We're asking
it again. It is Earth or
the Earth. We'd also accept the earth. All
right, we have four questions remaining. We're looking for an
animal. Which animal am I looking for?
It is the second largest rodent in the
world. The second largest
rodent in the world.
It is a primarily nocturnal, semi
aquatic rodent.
The dams they build provide water protection
against predators. Martha is so fast on that buzzer.
Martha the beaver is
correct. I'm guessing this might be from an earlier show.
Oh, there it is. Beavers. It seems
appropriate. Yeah. Beavers aloof. Right, here we go.
I'm not touching that one. Thank you. All right, we're looking for an
American entertainer. Which American
entertainer? I won 26 Academy
Awards and have been nominated 59 times.
We'll go to that second clue for two points.
I planned to open a ski area before I died in
1966.
It and our last clue. I was fired from one
of my early jobs at a newspaper for being
unimaginative. Mike?
Walt Disney. Walt Disney is
correct. Congratulations.
I knew about the firing from the newspaper. I
just thought of someone else and I was like, oh, that's not right. Oh, I'm
glad I didn't answer. All right, two questions remaining. What am
I? I'm looking for what I was marketed as a documentary but later
classified as a supernatural horror
film. So obviously this is a movie is what I
am. What movie am I?
Mike. Off of that first one.
I'm going to say the Blair Witch Project. Blair Witch for three points
is correct.
Correct. And our last
clue tonight, three points
remaining. Which historical
figure am I? I'm looking for a historical figure
my funeral was attended by 20,000 people.
Go to that second clue.
I said, in this world, nothing can be certain except death and
taxes.
I should know this. You'll know it on this one.
Hands on the buzzer. I invented the
bifocals and I am on the fast
hands. Martha.
Benjamin Franklin. Benjamin Franklin is I
meant on the buzzer. Yes. Thank you. I don't know if that helps either. Benjamin
Franklin is correct.
Congratulations. Martha was just unbeatable in the
second round with 22 points. That is almost
a record. It's hard to score even ten points in that round.
Martha coming out on top with 22 points. What
a game. Let's go around one more time and
make sure everybody can connect with you. I'm so grateful you're able to spend
this time with me. Brian, let's start with you. How can we connect and how
