Hey, everybody, welcome to the stuff I never knew trivia game show podcast. I'm

jeff. I'm your host. I'm on the armstrong neighborhood channel

with three great guests tonight alex, mark, and

ben. Let's hear that theme music.

That is correct you are correct you are wrong you are wrong

you are wrong you are right that is correct that is

correct it is correct that we are in round one and everybody's

talking about chat GPT, so I asked chat GPT this

artificial intelligence to plan a trip to pittsburgh for me.

I said give me a list and then tell me if those are places I

should go or shouldn't go when I go to pittsburgh.

So it gave me an itinerary and places to go and not to go. You

just got to tell me what did chat GPT say?

The best and the worst places in pittsburgh? We're going to start

with alex, the national

aviary. Now, this is the largest aviary in the

US. And home to more than 500 birds across

150 species from around the world. Do you think

chat GPT said that was the best place or a worst place to go in

pittsburgh? I'd say it's a best place because nature is beautiful.

All right. The best place is correct.

Put national aviary on your itinerary. Over

to mark. The pittsburgh zoo and PPG

aquarium. Now, this place, you have a wide range of animals and aquatic

life with lots of interactive exhibits that are great for

kids. Is that the best or worst place to go in

pittsburgh? I think second to the national

aviary is my favorite place. The pittsburgh zoo. It's a close second. So I'm going

to say the best. The best is

correct. Over to

ben. Randyland.

Randyland's an eclectic, colorful landmark on the mexican war street

neighborhood of pittsburgh's north side. Randy land is

an artistic installation and labor of love by local

resident randy gilson. Does chat GPT think we should

go to Randyland? Yeah, chat GPT definitely

said to go there. He's sending me there. That is

correct. That is one of the best places to go in

pittsburgh. Over to alex. The southside flats

late at night. The south side flats late at

night. It's known for its vibrant nightlife.

The south side. Going

to say I'm going to say it was the worst just because

late at night irks me. A little late at night. Chat

GPT kind of a party pooper. It also added it can get

quite rowdy late hours, which might not be everyone's cup of

tea. That's what chat GPT said. But it is a beautiful part of

pittsburgh. Lots of restaurants and bars. Speaking of

restaurants and bars, over to mark carson street during

should you does chat GPT think you should go to st. Patty's day

parade or skip it? Well, the older I get, the more I would

avoid that like the plague. But I'm guessing that they'll send you.

Oh, chat GPT says that's the

worst. This could be a rowdy time

with heavy drinking and big crowds that might not be

enjoyable for people looking for a peaceful, family friendly

environment. Chat GPT doesn't know you at all.

Chat GPT doesn't party. All right. Over to

Ben. We're going all around the boroughs here, the north side,

the north Shore on game day. That's where the steelers or

pirates would play at the north shore. Does Chachi

BT say you should go to the north shore on game day?

No, I don't think so. That is correct.

He said if you're not a fan of crowds or sports, the north shore can

be overwhelming on game. Yeah. You know, if you're not a

fan know you won't see Chat GPT there. That's for

sure. And our last one over to

Alex. The strip district. The strip

district. We're hitting all the areas of Pittsburgh. Is this the best

or the worst place to go? This is a

historic market district in Pittsburgh. It has bustling food

vendors, restaurants, shops selling all sorts of wares,

grab some local food or shop for unique

gifts. It's a hard

sell. But did it say it was the best or

the worst place to go? I think it

probably said it was the best. Question mark.

The best. Correct.

Over to Mark. Mount Washington.

Breathtaking view of the skyline day or night.

100%. But is it too crowded for Chat GPT?

It depends on when you go. There's a lot of overlooks out there. I'm going

to say yes on that one. Yes is the best.

That is correct. And to Ben the last one

point state park. It's just located at the confluence of

the Allegheny the monongahela. It offers a beautiful

panoramic view of the Pittsburgh skyline and

it's to be continued after your answer.

It sounds terrible, but I bet Chat GPT sent us

there anyways. The best. It is the best.

It's also home to the fort pitt museum and fort pitt blockhouse, the

oldest building in you. Everybody

crushed their Pittsburgh landmarks and sections of

Pittsburgh. We have a very close game. Alex and

Ben with three. Mark with two. Mark, you get to

pick the order for round two. Do you want to keep it

the same or change it up? You know,

Alex is doing great at first, so let's just leave it how it is. All

right we'll go. Alex, Mark and Ben. That means

Alex is going to go to the hot seat first.

Alex, welcome to the show. Thank

you. Tell us where are you calling in from?

I am calling in from grand rapids, Michigan right now.

I am a sophomore in college and I go to Saginaw valley

state university which is on the other side of Michigan and I'm home for the

summer. I have nothing to promote,

but you can follow my instagram. It's. X alex

rose we can do that. We'll put that link in the show

notes. Are those stickers on your ceiling. Do they glow in the dark?

Yes, they do. Very nice. It's

really cool. Well, are you ready

for the hot

seat? Yes.

So in this round, each of my guests are going to get one question from

these three categories. Star wars. Who said it? The

answer is a number. And technology.

Your Star Wars. Who said it? Question. Alex.

You have controlled your fear. Now release

your anger. Only your hatred can

destroy me. I say with a real high pitched voice.

I don't watch Star Wars at all. So I'm going to guess one of the

characters that I know the names of. I'm going to say Darth Vader.

Darth Vader, as a guess is

correct. From the Empire Strikes Back.

Your answer is a number. That's the clue. How many

letters are there in the Latin or Roman

alphabet? The answer

is a number. Go with 26 because that's what I

know as an alphabet. Six. I thought I might trick you.

Is correct. And your technology

question. The iPhone has only one button

on the front of the phone when it was originally released. What is the

official name of that one button on

the iPhone? The home button. Home Button

is correct. The home button. All right.

So now you have a chance to earn five bonus points. I'll

read you a question like name five spices in your spice cabinet. You

have to give me five things to fit in there, but I'm going to put

10 seconds on the clock. Alex, you have 10

seconds to name five types of public

transportation and go. A bus,

a trolley, tandem bicycle,

subway, another train. I think you

got five for five. That was very good under

pressure, you came away with the bonus points.

We're going to move Mark to the hot seat. Mark, welcome to the

show. Thank you. Where are you calling in from?

Calling in from West Mifflin, Pennsylvania. Suburb of Pittsburgh.

Wasn't on the Chat GPT's best or worst list. Tell

us about West Mifflin. What's going on over there?

It's pretty quiet. I work from home a few days. A week on the weekends.

I'm a professional wrestling referee, hence the photos behind me. I'm a

big 80s wrestling fan and

I spend my time yelling at bad guys. When I

was maybe twelve years old, the WWF for some reason came to

Valley High School in New Kensington, which is real close to where I'm from. And

I've never heard or seen anything like that. It was just crazy that the

WWF was in this very small town where I'm from.

Was that common back then?

We're probably similar in age, so it

can come from Niagara Falls, New York and they'd come to the convention center every

now and then. So maybe the small towns were on maybe the Sea

team, the Sea level, possibly. Oh, very nice. And the New Kensington

is the birthplace of aluminum. That won't come up later, but just so you.

Oh. Is there anything you'd like to plug or promote or talk about? Any links

you'd like to share? I don't have a lot of links. You can find me

on Facebook under Mark Charles III. I'm on Instagram. You can find me

at the KSWA Keystone State Wrestling Alliance in

Pittsburgh on the weekends and several other

wrestling promotions around the western Pennsylvania area.

Very good. So, Mark, are you

ready for the hot seats? Ready as I'm going to be. All right.

Your Star Wars. Who said it? You were the

chosen one It was said that you would destroy the Sith,

not join them. You were to bring balance to the

force, not leave it in darkness. Who

said that's?

I'm going to guess Qui Gon Jinn.

QuiGon jinn is incorrect. It was

the OG himself. Obi Wan He was the one I was going to go with

first, and I second guessed it. All right. The answer is a number

with the jokers removed. How many cards are there

in a deck of cards? 52. 52

is correct. And your

technology question? Adobe Acrobat

Reader is most frequently used to read computer

files ending in what extension? That would be

PDF. PDF is PD correct?

I don't know. So I have a name five bonus

question for you. I'll put 10 seconds on the clock.

Mark, name five things that float in water

and go. Ducks, fish, plastic,

lifesavers and boats. Is that

five? I think that's five. That is five. I always let the timer go

the whole way. You got five bonus points. We're going

to move Ben to the hot seat. Ben,

welcome to the show. Thanks for having me. All I

know is we're looking at everybody's back wall. I see

Scatgories in there and catan two of my favorite

games. What I was hoping you'd notice is that they've been

organized by oh, look at that. Very

nice. I did not notice that, but they are all the way. Even the

books. Yeah. COVID was a long pandemic.

Well, tell us where you're calling in from, Ben. I'm calling in from

Vienna, Virginia, which is just outside the Washington, DC.

Area. Anything happening out there?

Sometimes news stories come out of that area. I don't you

know, most recently, we got a new food

truck down the street. Yeah, there's stuff

always happening on the other side of the river, but every couple of years, I

move a few more miles west, a little further and further away from DC.

So, God willing, in a decade, I'll be in West

Virginia. Oh, very nice. Anything you'd like to plug, promote, talk

about? No, not really. We found

your show because we were just on a huge road trip and my wife downloaded

dozens of episodes to listen to. So super glad

we found you guys. Love your show. Yeah, I'm super glad you're

here. This is a lot of fun, and I'm about to change

things up and put you in the hot

seat. Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready. All

right. Ben, your Star Wars. Who said it?

Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin crops,

farm boy. Who said that? Yeah. That

sounds like Harrison Ford as Han Solo. Han

Solo is is

correct. Little suspense.

The answer is a number. How long is one period in an

ice hockey game? Oh, man, this sounds like a Pittsburgh

question, not a Virginia question.

How about 20 minutes? 20 minutes

is correct. And your

technology question? This is very serious science. In the

movie Back to the Future, what piece of technology

makes time travel possible?

Yeah, it's the flux capacitor that Doc came up with after he hit his

head on the toilet. The flux capacitor is

correct. And I'll put 10

seconds on the clock for you, Ben. Name five

things that sink in water. And go

very small. Rocks, coins,

cars, people who are holding their breath long

enough. Lead weights, gold bars. Oh, you got

six at the buzzer. I can only take five. But

you ran the board. Let's go to that scoreboard.

As we go into the final round, we have a

very close game. We have Alexandria

and Benjamin at eleven. Mark with nine.

Two points separate first and second place. But

we have 30 points remaining in this final

round. And in this round, I've asked each of my guests

to bring in their own buzzers. Let's go around

the room and hear your buzzers so that we know how round three

is going to play out. Ben, let's hear your buzzer.

He's got the train whistle mark.

Oh, you he's got the

Savage and to. Alex,

you got the coins in the box. They're.

Thumbtacks. I couldn't think. Thumbtacks dangerous. That's a wrestling thing

right there. You couldn't tell that those were thumbtacks by the sound

man. Come on.

So, in this round, I'm going to read a series of very vague questions.

Who am I? What am I? What invention? What food am I?

And I'm going to start to read a series of clues to help you get

to the answer with those buzzers, you can buzz in at any

time. You can buzz in multiple times. There's no limit to how many times

you can buzz in. If you buzz in on the first clue and get it

right, that's worth three points. The second clue is worth two points, and

the last clue is worth one point. When you're right, you're going to

earn those points. But if you're wrong, you will

lose that point value. There's 30 points

total available. Are you ready for the first

video question? I made little videos, and sometimes the

videos help you, and sometimes they don't. So be careful.

I'm looking for a food. What food am I? I was

invented in 1938 by Ruth Graves

Wakefield.

What food am I? My second clue,

also involving Ruth Graves Wakefield, was the co owner of the Toll

House in whitman, Massachusetts. Mark, I heard

For four points,

variations of this game trace back to the 18th century

Sometimes the pictures help, sometimes they don't.

Our second clue for two points.

My first professional players were paid in

1869. Oh, yeah.

Back to mark. Poker. Poker is

incorrect. Incorrect.

But you're on the right trail because the first World

Series was held in 1903 between the

Boston Red Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates. Over

to Ben. I heard the train whistle first. Baseball.

Baseball is correct.

I was going with the World Series of Poker. That's why you're kind of on

the right track. Get it? I'm looking for an

invention. What invention am I?

The electric version of me was invented in

1831.

Sometimes the pictures help, sometimes they don't.

Our second clue for two points. I became wireless

in the 1990s. Was that an oh, yeah or it's an

oh, yeah. Over to Mark. Telephone is

incorrect. You're a rat, sir. You are a rat.

We'll go to that last clue

still based on phones with cell phones. You can

now answer me from anywhere in the world.

There's electric ones. Then they were wireless ones. Now cell

phones. It's the doorbell. The doorbell.

Tricky rascal. You all right? I got you.

pull for two points. Not sure why I called it soda. I call it pop

in Michigan.

Don't tell the neighbors. What am

I? I'm looking for a what? I'm a thing on this one. It

could be anything, really. Very vague question. John F.

Kennedy used me to relieve his back pain.

So many wrong answers to that. That's all I

got. We'll go to the second clue.

One version of Me was designed by Charles and Ray Eames

in 1948. Over to

Ben. A reclining chair.

Reclining chair is oh, David's saying,

yes, it is. The rocking chair is what we

were looking for. But I think David allows me to give chair a

point there. All right. I'm looking for a

household item. What household item am I? Am I toilet

paper on a roll? The

oldest known version, which dates back to

fifth and fourth century BC. Was found in a frozen

tomb in Siberia. Could be toilet paper.

Traditionally, I am made of wool, but can also be made of silk,

cotton or synthetic fibers.

We'll go to that third clue for I

almost saw a train whistle third clue for one point. The

Persians are world renowned for their quality, craftsmanship

and beauty, I heard. Oh, yeah. Mark rug.

Rug or carpet is

correct. We

have four questions remaining. I'm looking for

another food. What food am I?

I am believed to be discovered in 5000 to

6000 BC. In Mesopotamia.

No. A little vague. Maybe not. Let's go to that second clue for two

points. I am produced by bacterial

fermentation. I think I heard train

whistle. First producer verified. Ben?

Beer. Beer is

incorrect. Alex, you did buzz in. You have the

option wine. Wine is

incorrect. It'll cost you two points.

Our third clue coming up here.

This should give it away. The bacteria used to make

me is known as Lactobacillus

bulgaricus and streptococcus

thermophilus. They love writing questions I can't

pronounce. We're looking for everybody's favorite

yogurt yogurt.

All right, three questions remaining. Where am

I in the universe? This is literally

anywhere.

I have an extremely hostile environment with a surface

temperature around 900 degrees.

I am the third brightest natural object

in the Earth sky, I

heard. Oh, yeah. Right before the tax mark, is it

Saturn? Saturn is

incorrect. Alex with the option

to buzz in because you did buzz gonna I'm. Gonna go a little bit

with my gut, even though it's probably wrong. Venus.

Venus. Where am I in the universe? Well, I'm right

next door on Venus is correct.

Correct. I didn't go too far on that question.

But we do have two questions remaining. Which airport am I

stranded at? I'm stuck somewhere in the world. Can you

figure it out and get me home? I have nine passenger

terminals arranged in the shape of the letter U.

Our second clue for two points. I am the third busiest airport

in the world. And

if you don't know what this third clue? Everybody's. Favorite

movies like Diehard Two Speed and The Graduate were

filmed here.

Alex? Lax.

Laxalex is

correct. I get so excited. I miss

the buzzer. All right. I must have been

hungry right now because here's another food one. What food item am

I? I am served in over 40

locations around the United States.

It could be anything, right? Over 40 is

like a million. Also, I was invented by three brothers, joe,

Dick and Stanley.

Our third clue for one point. I am the sandwich

most associated with Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. And the guy

not from Pittsburgh buzzed in. Ben

philly cheesesteak. Philly cheesesteak is

incorrect. Oh, yeah. Mark

permanty sandwich. It is. The permanent brothers

sandwich is correct. That's an

unfair one, but I'll take it. Never had that, but it looks

good. Oh, Alex, you have to try this.

Well, let's go to that scoreboard. It was a very close game. The final

round was chaotic. We have Mark with four,

Benjamin with eleven. But Alex with 14 is our winner

tonight. Congratulations, Alex. We have time to

go around real quick. Anything else you'd like to plug, promote, talk

about? We'll start with Ben?

No. Had a great time. Thanks for having me. Go on a road

trip. It's a lot of fun. Yeah, that's true. Download these episodes for road trips.

It'll drown out your screaming kids. That's a great

plan. Over to Mark. You brought up

the question about 52 car in a deck, and I remember this always, because when

I was about six years old, my uncle asked me if I wanted to play

52 pickup, and I told him I did. So he threw all cards on the

floor and I had to pick them. All up like, uncle,

52 pickup. Always remember you don't want to do that. You'll

be on a game show and it'll come in handy. Thanks. Now you're like, thanks,

uncle. And our winner alex. Anything you'd like to plug,

promote, talk about? Follow me on

my instagram. X alexxpros, come

to Michigan. It's absolutely beautiful.

And our beers are only $6, which I just learned

is, like, cheap. At least the place I work

at. So apparently it's cheap compared to Boston. I don't know.

Anyway, everything's cheap compared to Boston. Let's hear

that theme music.

That is correct, you are correct, you are wrong. You are wrong.

You are wrong, you are right. That is correct, you are correct.

That is correct, that is correct.
