Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Stuff Find ever new trivia game show podcast.
I've got three great guests tonight. Zabe, Robert and
Keith joining me on the Armstrong neighborhood channel.
Let's hear that theme music.
All right, we are in round one, and as you know, on this show, we
get right into it. Earthworms or
chemicals found in makeup or both? Could these
Earthworms be chemicals found in makeup? You'll never know until
we get through them. Zabe, you are up first.
Ultramarine. Is Ultramarine a type of earthworm
or a chemical found in makeup or
both? I'm wearing a little bit on my face right now. It's
a piece of makeup. Makeup is
correct. That'd been embarrassing. If it was a worm and you were wearing that on
your face, over to Robert.
Prussian blue. Are you wearing
Prussian blue?
That's tricky. That could go either way.
Or it could be both the parrot. Sketch and Monty python,
or it could be one of those other two things. Since that's not a category,
I'm going to go with Earthworm. Earthworm
is correct. It is makeup. I don't
even care if I'm right. I'm going to go with Earthworm. They're going to ride
it the whole way through the round. Oh, well. All right. Here we
go. Ben Homine.
I can't even say it. So Ben Ham in an A.
Ben. Hammond A. I'm going to go out and
say that that is a type of worm. Earthworm
from Ethiopia is correct.
I was thinking Kenya, but you get. A bonus point for the location.
Back up to Zabe. A muscovite. Is
a muscovite an Earthworm, a makeup chemical or
both? Let's go
with Earthworm on this one. That sounds very Earthwormy to me. Very
earthwormy is incorrect. It's white.
Micah. The great white Micah. You may have heard his other
nickname. Over to Robert.
Paraben. Is Paraben a
worm from the Earth or up
from the make or both?
I tried on that one.
And I'm off to such a great start, too.
I'm going to stick with Earthworm.
Earthworm for the point is
incorrect. It's a waxy preservative used in
makeup. Come on, Robert, you know that one. Come
on. Keith gets all the ones I can't pronounce. Keith
almaday.
Almaday. Rock me almadeus.
Please tell me of that drop.
I'm going to go with Earthworm.
Earthworm location for a bonus point.
Southern Kenya. Southern Kenya. I don't know.
Correct. But Africa is somewhere there. We'll give
you a bonus point. Producer there'll be an asterisk in
the historical record. All right, Zabe, now you get one I can't pronounce.
Lubricade. Lubricit.
Lubricitay.
Here's a story of a lubricitae. I
was going off your background. Only question is, is it
both? That's the only question I have because it's clearly
makeup. But is it both? That's the question I have. I'm just going to
stick with makeup. Makeup and the.
Mean. I can't say it on their show. It's a very area.
It's not family. So makeup is
incorrect. It was an earthworm. All right, here
we go. Last one to Robert Koltar.
Koltar. A type of Earthworm, a type of makeup, or
both. I think it's
makeup. I think the Egyptians used to use this. I think it's makeup.
Wow. Very specific. It gave me a location. I can't confirm the
location, but Coltar is a coloring agent in
makeup. Very nice. Robert and I thought, you're going to use Earthworm the whole
way through. You really switched it up. Yeah, I decided to be
right. You changed it up
and in true form to Keith
Haplotaxaday. With apologies to
our sponsor L'Oreal, I'm going to say this is an Earthworm.
Earthworm is correct. Nobody
fell for my trap, which was both. Hopefully they don't
use Earthworms in makeup. Let's go to that scoreboard.
We have a very close game for second place.
Zabe and Robert tied with one point. Keith with the OD
score, and the first ever four point round one. It's never happened
before in the history of the show. Keith, you get a little bonus.
You get to pick the order. Do you want to keep it the same or
change it up? I'm actually going to keep it the same because that's what I
would have suggested if it weren't in this order. So sounds good to
me. Came to the show with a strategy that's going to move
Zabe to the hot seat. Zabe, how have things been since the last time
we saw you? About the same. Yeah.
Very nice. How can people catch your show and listen and watch and do all
the things? Well, my show is called Who Will Save Generation X? Trivia game
show. It is a podcast dedicated to remembering, celebrating, and
preserving all the wonderful qualities of Generation X through games, trivia,
and friends. I've got two of my buddies on the show with me right now.
Each regular episode, we have two contestants compete for ultimate Slacker
prizes, and in the process, listeners are sure to get a nice dose of nostalgia
and maybe a few laughs along the way. The prizes are all nostalgic stuff I
put on my ebay watch list, and I place bids on the item chosen on
the winner's behalf until I'm the high bidder. If that bid holds up until the
end of the auction, then I buy that item for the winner. It's a lot
of fun. We put some really kooky weird stuff in there, and it's a good
time. Very good. It's a great show. Who will save Generation
X? Active on Facebook. There's a website, and you can find
the podcast in your feeds. Go ahead. Or you can just go
to whowolsaygenx.com. That's the way we'll have that
link in the show notes. Zabe, are you
ready for the hot seat? Yes, I am,
Jeff. See if I can lose three times on your show.
That's a three peat. And in this round, each of my
contestants are going to get questions from these three categories.
90s movies. I want to go to hawai and that happened in
June. Your first question is a multiple
choice question for a 90s movie. In the
1993 Sci-Fi film demolition man starring
Sylvester stallone and Wesley snipes, what is the only
restaurant in existence? Is it
multiple choice cyber king stardust,
taco bell or pizza hut or both?
The only one or all four? Is that what you're trying to tell me? Yeah.
I have never seen demolition man. I kind of tapped out
on Sylvester stallone movies once
stop or my mama shoot came out. So
I kind of boycot, he kind of jumped the shark for me. Anyways,
I've never seen this movie. But if there were going to be only
one restaurant to exist in the
future, I would hope it would be taco bell.
Taco bell is
correct. It is taco bell for the your I want to
go to Hawaii question. What category of
business is the number one money maker for
Hawaii.
Category of business. Does tourism count as a category of
business? That is an example of a category. Is that
your answer? I mean, that's probably the obvious one.
Tourism is correct. It is
tourism. And that happened in June.
In June of 2001, what make of
car named after a US. Colony was
discontinued?
June 2001. Make of car.
US. Colony. We don't have a manufacturer of that car, do
we? That would be
too much of a clue. I mean, how many are there? In 2001, there weren't
that many car makers. US. Colony. That
seconds on the clock
just to. Build pressure and suspense for the famous
car, the Massachusetts. You're so
close. Yoda, Massachusetts. It's the old Plymouth. The
Plymouth went out of business. Felix is an idiot right now. Of course,
it's fly mouth. Fly mouth. Well, in this
last question worth five points, I'm going to give you a name five
question. There's going to be a question where you have to put five things
into the category. For example, I might say, name five spices in your
spice cabinet and I'll put 10 seconds on the clock. You'll have
10 seconds to put those spices back in your cabinet because I already went
over and I removed them. So you have to figure out which five. But in
this case, zabe. Name five.
Hamburger toppings and go ketchup,
mustard, pickles relish. A sesame seed bun
goes on top of a burger. Mayo, a fried
egg you could put. Anything on is acceptable.
And that counts. You got all five. I take five.
You ran the board? Everything but Plymouth. Got you
massachusetts. We're going to move
Robert to the hot seat. Robert, welcome to the show. How are things
going? Doing all right. Glad to have a chance to come
do this instead of spending a night at work, especially since the power is out
again. So nobody's escaping any rooms tonight at my job. Thank
you.
Tell us a little bit about what you do. Can people connect with you and
learn more about Robert? Not really. I don't do much
right now. I am a professional escape room game master. That is what I
do. I sit on the other end of a radio and give you hints if
you have no idea what you're doing in one of our rooms.
So it is a fun job. I really do enjoy it an awful lot.
Other than that, I spend a lot of time on Zabe's podcast doing
various. Work. That's
what I do. I have nothing to promote, so I will also promote Zabe's show
because I love it so much. Yeah. Robert is a fan favorite on
the Save Generation podcast. It's totally
true. Robert is my fan
favorite as well. On the three fans love me
links. In the show notes. Robert, are
you ready for the hot
seat? Here we go.
Let's do it. The line, it means buckle your
seatbelt, Dorothy, because Kansas is going bye bye
was said in which movie. And this is also multiple choice.
Was it Speed, The Matrix, back to
the Future two, or the core?
I remember going to see this movie not really knowing what was it about because
they weren't saying anything. And I was just trying to get away from my ex
girlfriend who was annoying me. So I went to the theater and was shown this
beautiful, beautiful thing that is The Matrix. The
matrix is correct. And I had the same
exact experience. I went at, like 10:00 a.m.. And I didn't know what it
was, and I walked out. I was the only person in the movie theater,
and my mind was shattered because I couldn't comprehend. I was like,
what's happening? What is the Matrix? That's right. All right.
Your Hawaii question. Hawai is the only us. State to grow
what drinkable crop, not
multiple choice. Would that be? Coconuts.
Coconuts. Incorrect. We're looking for
think we're I think I'm missing a question. Let's see.
Hold on. I can just give any answer now. All
right, Robert, what is the answer to this question? The
Council of Trent. Council of Trent is
correct. Correct. Producers that's correct. All
right, Robert. I knew it. I'm going to give you a
name five bonus question. There's five points up for grabs here.
Robert, name five excuses for not turning in
your homework. And go. I fell
asleep. My dog ate it. I didn't
have time. My parents dragged me out. My paper was
on fire. I think there's a
little bit of delay happening. I think you got five in before. You actually,
I got six out of yeah. Okay. I think the
contestants agree. Zabe and Keith both think there's a little bit of
a delay. I believe you did get all yeah. Everyone's saying yes.
There's a little bit of a delay. Let's go to Keith. Keith, welcome to the
show. Hi. I'm watching you're
pacing around. You're reacting to everybody's answers. How's it going?
Where are you calling in from? I'm calling in from Laguna Hills,
California. Things are going great because I'm with friends
and answering trivia questions and I'm really intimidated because all of them are
doing very well. Well, there's still 30 some
points after this round, so hang in there. It's anybody's game so
far. Anything you'd like to plug, promote, talk
about? Nothing to plug, but my
job is I'm a product manager at a popular user generated
content site and so I am just all about the creators. I
love my job because my job is empowering creators and I love being on a
show like this to see people create things and
I'm just so happy and blessed to be here. Well, awesome. Thank you so much
for being here. I appreciate that. And definitely we always appreciate
the DIY creators. Most of our guests on the show are actually small independent
podcasters. So I'm glad, especially you recognizing that
means a lot to me. But that doesn't mean I
don't want to put you into the hot
seats. Are you ready? It's hot in
here. Let's go. Your 90s movie question.
Sean Connery, Nicholas Cage and Ed Harris appeared in
what 1996 action film?
And don't worry, it's a multiple choice. Is it? Broken Arrow,
the Rock, demolition man? One of Zabe's favorite.
And the hunt for Red October.
I believe it's the rock. The Rock
is player three
correct? The rock is correct. I'm guessing
I might not have typed all the answers correctly. This game. Here we
go. Our Hawaii question. The Big Island.
Hawaii has volcanic sands of what
distinctive color? I think this
is the combination of all colors, but don't grade me on that part. I
believe they have black sand beaches. Or if you're a scientist,
it could be the absence of all color. The absence of all black is
correct. And that happened in
June. Question, what new cabinet
did George W. Bush propose in June of
2002?
Says propose. We were in the aftermath
of 911. He definitely
did the Homeland Security
and I believe that's a cabinet post.
And I'm seeing stuff in the chat that's saying no.
You're saying nope to the things in the chat or nope to the answer you're
about to give? Well, the answer I'm about to give is some sort of
space Force. Is that the answer you want to
give? Yes. You're going with Space Force.
Space Force is incorrect. It was Department of
Homeland Security. They talked you out of it in the chat.
Thanks, Robert. These are such wily people. I love
it. I love it. All right. Has that happened before?
This is amazing. I love that. Our five
point bonus question. I'm going to put 10 seconds on the clock.
You have 10 seconds to tell me five things
and I need you to tell me five ways to say goodbye.
And go aloha, see you later.
Bye. Farewell, welp
see you later. Or if that's too duplicative, then damn.
It, as long as you had a comma
after welp I'll give you both. You got five points. Let's go
to that scoreboard to see how we're going into the final round. It is a
much closer game. Only three points separating first and second
place, we have Keith with eleven, robert and Zabe tied
with eight. And as you know, in this final round, we have
30 points available. And in this round, it's
a video round. And I'm going to play a series of ten different videos
with a very vague question. Who am I? What am I? Where am
I? And then I'll start to play a series of clues. If
you buz in with your buzzers, I've asked you to bring on the first
clue that's worth three points. The second clue is worth two points and the
third clue is worth one point. If you're right, you're going to earn those
points. But if you're wrong, way to say goodbye, say
Cyanara to those points, you will lose that
point value. Now, I've asked each of my guests to bring in their own
buzzers. Let's start with Keith. Keith, let's hear your buzzer.
He's got the family feud. Buzzer I think. Or the food
family. And the Zabe
69 dude he's got
the bill and Ted Excellent Adventure And
Robert? He's got the tsunami
warning, I think. Come on, Jeff, you don't know
what that sound is. Maybe he's never been on the oh. Is that
a was? I was never a Star Trek. You're
missing out. Yeah, Keith don't like me
anymore. Bye.
All right, he should get back because we're going to start the video route. There
he is. All right, I'm looking for a music superstar. Now,
remember, sometimes my questions and my answers and my pictures, they
may or may not match, but they also may match, so
keep that in mind too. His first band was called Bluesology.
And if you look on the right side a little timer, you know how much
time you have left for this three point value?
That is Robert.
Delton John. Elton John is
correct for three points. Right out the gate on the first clue of
the first question. Robert knows everything about music, so we're
screwed if the rest are music questions. Let's go to that next question.
Which successful pop artist? I tell you,
robert paid $50 for the questions tonight.
Oh, he's pre buzzing.
He co wrote the charity single we are the World with
no, that's Richie Zabe. I'm just going to
blurt out Michael. Jackson then and hope I get the. Points
for three points. Wait, who buzed it? Who did
that? Michael Jackson is correct.
My guests brought their own wrong buzzers. They're really going to confuse me this
round. All right, here we go. We're looking for a
classic game. Which classic game? Everybody has a
chance this time it's not music related.
The first world champions of this game played in
1886.
That is Keith. I'm going to go with
cricket. Cricket is
incorrect. Incorrect.
Incorrect. Incorrect.
Our second clue for two points. It is played on
64 squares.
Keith? Chess. Chess is
correct. Only cost you one point. Then you can buzz in multiple
times. But if everybody keeps buzing in on the first clue, then it won't
matter. But you can buz in as often as you want as many times as
you like. I was about to say checkers. I'm looking for which type
of craft not necessarily witchcraft. It is
originally a form of traditional Japanese folk art which was popularized
in Europe in the mid 19 hundreds.
Our second clue for two points, cutting and gluing are not
used in this paper. Related craft. Keith
Origami. Origami
is correct.
All right, six questions remaining. 18
points total. I'm looking for a famous piece of clothing.
The original design of the garment has been changed over the years.
The rivet at the bottom of the crotch conducted too much
heat. I think that was
keith had the first buz. I think there may
be some delay with Robert, but I'll take it. And then we'll sort
it out with the engineers backstage. Historical record.
I believe this is Levi jeans. Levi's
501 jeans are
correct.
No, I want to issue a complaint. Keith didn't say 501
jeans. He just said Levi jeans. Pedantic judges are
not are we really. Going to lower the standards of
this show? Have you seen the show
before? This is the show where we lower standards. Like,
are you going to complain that Keith got an extra point for naming where an
earthworm was from? And I think I gave Robert
bonus points somewhere, too. I think you're just upset because I. Haven'T given
you joking. Zay points. A bonus points. He's like, where's my
points? Let's hope that Robert
rejoins and is on the same
latency that we have. I feel like his computer was hosted on the moon.
Let's get him. There he is. He's back. Robert, how's it
sounding now?
I don't know. Okay, I think it's a
little better. Let's go over to that scoreboard. Zabe and
Robert tied at eleven. Keith with twelve. One point
advantage with five questions remaining. We're
halfway through. We have 15 points remaining. It is
still anybody's game. And I'm looking for a material.
Is it a material girl? Madonna.
This material has a weight and a tooth.
What material has a weight and a tooth?
This material is one of numerous inventions made
by the Chinese.
And our third clue, it is mostly made of
wood and used in Origami.
69. Dude. Zabe. I mean
paper. Paper is correct.
Now I feel like we've leveled. Everybody's got their bonus point,
right? Bonus point. I earned that sucker.
Well, I added the extra clue because I'm looking for a what? What am I?
Am I a scared little kitten
it took 2700 years to build
me? What am I?
Second clue for two points. I've been called the longest cemetery
in the world with 1 million people who
died while making me.
That is Keith. Is that? The Great
Wall of China. The Great Wall of China for two points
is correct.
Good one, Keith. Let's go back to a
category made for Robert. Who am
I? Who am I?
My interview with Diane Sawyer was the highest
rated interview in television history.
Our second clue for two points. I am the only artist to
have seven consecutive number one hits on the Billboard Hot
100.
And our third clue for one point.
I was in four movies, including The Preacher's Wife
and The Bodyguard. Zabe. That
is Rip Whitney Houston. Rip
whitney Houston is correct.
Correct. Two questions
remaining.
Where am I? Where
am I? You can always pre guess if you want to guess. I could be
anywhere. I am the second widest state.
The second widest. Our
second clue for two points. Parts of me receive more
snow than Chicago.
That is Keith. I'm going to go with Montana.
Montana is incorrect.
That'll cost you two points.
I was thinking third clue.
Our third clue for one point. This is the only state to
grow coffee, famous for tourism and has black sand.
Zave, did we learn anything? This show finally
learned something. Yes. Hawaii. Hawaii
is correct for the callback of the night.
And our final clue for three
points what am I?
What am I? Am I a baby seal stuck on the
sand? Am I a schoolyard? I cause children to
lose 2.8 million days of school per year.
What am I?
The term nitpick refers directly to me.
I heard Keith first. Lice.
Lice is
correct. Keith, was it enough to come back in the end? Let's go
to that scoreboard. We have a very close
game. Keith with 15 points, Zabe
with 14. And Robert, who we're going to have back because of technical
difficulties. Robert was crushing it. We had some lag issues
here. Robert with eleven points. Still a great showing for not even
being able to play. He's only one question away
from winning. Keith, congratulations. Let's hear that theme music
and dance our way out of here.
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.
