Hey, everybody. Welcome to the stuff I never knew, trivia, game show podcast. I'm
Jeff. I'm your host. We are on the Armstrong neighborhood
channel. I've got three great guests, Sarah,
Chris, and Nico. 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. All right, as you know, on
this show, we get right into it. Round
one tonight, we're gonna play Florida man, true or
false. So all you have to tell me is this a real or
fake Florida man story? And we're gonna go with the order that you
showed up tonight. Sarah, Chris, and Nico. Sarah,
you are first. Florida man stole his
chili coworker's wallet and used her credit card to buy a
pumpkin and beer from Publix.
Sarah, is that true or false?
He worked the chili. True.
True is correct. And
they caught him because they found the pumpkin on his front porch.
Yes. You gotta hide the pumpkin. All right,
over to Chris. Florida man was charged with unlawful use
of a police badge after his truck changed the border
patrol logo to booty patrol.
These are my people, Jeff. Just
so for the folks at home, Chris does not have an advantage just because he
is from Florida. Oh, no one thinks that's an
advantage. That just
sounds too good not to be true. I'm going to go true. Florida man
never disappoints. It is true. And he got caught because he was
using. He added the blue flashing lights. He could have just been
booty patrol and gotten away with it. All right,
Taniko. Florida man arrested for domestic battery after throwing
his sausage into his brother's eye. Who would be
throwing sausage into the brother's eyes? I'm gonna say that
that should be false. It should be not true. We would
hope in a perfect world, but it
is true. And the police officers did
not seize the weapon, and they did not say what type of sausage was used
in the. In the crime. That's so funny.
Back to Sarah. Florida man charged with felony
domestic battery after throwing a package of Oreo.
Oreos at his wife for not making coffee.
Oh, goodness. Well,
I'm gonna say false on that one. False is
incorrect. That is a true one. True one.
Florida man steals a 50 pound tarpon fish from the bass
pro shops. This one's the Chris. He jumped into the
aquarium and grabbed a fish and ran out the door. Like, are we sure
this wasn't Jamis Winston? That seems like
something he would do. I don't put anything past Florida man. I'm going
true. True. And guess where it happened. Fort
Myers, if that makes sense. That tracks. Okay.
All right, here we go. To Nico, Florida man
who received a waffle house tattoo, arrested
after refusing to pay for it.
Dang, that's so funny.
Oh, man. I want to say it shouldn't be true, but I
think this one is true this time. True is
correct. In Clearwater, Florida.
Do you have a waffle house tattoo?
Not anymore. They took it back.
And the last one to each of my guests tonight, Sarah.
Florida man catches his house and neighbor's house on fire after
trying to deep fry 25 frozen hot
dogs. Oh, I'm gonna say
true on that one. True is
incorrect. That's the first one I made up tonight.
And over to Chris, Florida man pulls out machete
after. After a bar, refuses him to let him
sing another karaoke song. I mean,
how many times does he sing like a virgin? I'm going. True.
True is correct. Correct. I don't have enough backstory
on this one. Yeah, that is so funny. And
the last one to Niko, Florida man, drives into his own
house when the chain he is using to pull a tree out of the ground
snaps. No, that's.
That's for sure true. That's for sure true. For sure. True
is incorrect. That's the other one I made
up very well. Very believable,
though. We have a score. Chris
is in the lead right now with three points. Surprising, because your
score is different than the other two scores. You get a little bonus.
Chris, you get to pick the order for round two. Do you
want to mix it up or keep it the same? You
know what? Let's keep it the same. Let's keep this. Let's keep the good times
rolling. So. All right, we're going to move Sarah to the hot seats.
Sarah, welcome to the show. Welcome back to the show. Sarah's been on
the. On the show several times. Always appreciate having here,
always fun, the great laughter and having a good time. Sarah, tell us,
the folks at home, where are you calling in from? Salt Lake City,
Utah, where there's a lot of snow and
it's cold. Well, tell us a little bit about what you do out in
Utah and a little bit about your show. Oh, thanks. Yeah. The
SJ child show is a show that we talk a lot about
neurodiversity, education, special
education, and parenting. So if you are a
parent or know somebody that is in the special education field, send them
our way. And of course, just really, anyone that wants to learn more
about how you can support the special education and special. Needs
community and the best way people can. Can
connect. Oh, yeah, the best way people can connect.
But no, we're, like, 250 episodes in, so we
have tons of great content and information and
experts, all kinds of people,
even some celebrities that are going to be starting on some new
Netflix shows coming up. So excited to see that, too.
Very good. SJ childs.org dot. I'll put the links in the show
notes. Sarah, are you
ready for the hot seats? Oh, my gosh. I think so.
All right, here we go. In round two, each of my guests will
get questions, a healthy food connection. So I'm going
to give four questions, and the answers to those four
questions will be some sort of healthy food. You have to put all that
together and figure out what healthy food am I asking you about?
And then a very romantic name five. I'll put 10
seconds on the clock, and you'll have to name five things that
fit into a very romantic category. That's a
maybe a little bit of our Valentine's Day show here. And Sarah, your
first healthy food connection question. Which
two colors make up the canadian flag?
Red and white. Red and white. Correct. That's
correct. And what is sun made famous for
making? Raisins.
Raisins. Correct. And if
you don't honor a bet, you blank on it.
Uh, if you don't
honor a pet.
Well, I'm not supposed to say the words that are coming to my head.
Don't say those words. Don't say those words. Let's see.
You. I
literally have no idea. Nothing's coming to my brain. I'll put the
3 seconds, you sit on it, you welch on
the bed. Okay. All right, our last one
here. Which song about a drink was written by Neil
diamond and was a hit for the band ub
40?
Red. Red wine. I don't know. Is that wrong?
Red wine is correct.
Wow. Come on, brain. So, Sarah, we're gonna
take those four questions. What ties together the answers?
Red white raisins, Welch's, and
red. Red wine.
I mean,
what ties together red, white raisins,
Welsh's red. Red wine? Oh,
my gosh. I have no idea. That's a healthy food. Healthy
food connection. Food. A
vinegar. All I can't think of is, like, a balsamic vinegar or
something, but I don't think that's it. Oh, it's a little simpler than
that. We're looking for grapes. Oh, silly. Oh, my heavens.
Okay, what's the origin of all of these
red grapes? White grapes. Red. Red wine made from
grapes. Welch's grape juice. And raisins are made from
grapes. So, Sarah, your name? Very romantic. Name
five. Name five apps or places online where
you can meet people for a relationship and go.
Only been married 20 years. Let's see.
No idea. Tinder, I think, is one of them.
You got one point. Tinder time is up. You got a point for
Tinder. Anywhere you can beat online. That shows
I'm being a good girl over here if I don't know about any of
those things. And we're going to keep the order
the same. Moving along, Chris, welcome to the show.
Jeff. It's good to be here, my friend. Thanks for the invite back. Oh, yeah.
Love having you here. Lots of fun. Tell us, you know, catch us up a
little bit on what's been happening since the last time you've been here.
So I am the host of the public trivia experience
podcast. Since the last time I was here, we have actually expanded into a full
blown podcasting network. Oh, wow. We launched our fifth
show in February, so we're going to have content every day of the week.
But the show that started off is the show nearest dearest to my heart is
the pub trivia experience. We try to bring the, for
me, the fun parts of bar trivia, which is the trivia is fun, but I
want to go out there, I want to have some drinks with my friends and
I want to just hang out with really good people and have good
times. And so that's the emphasis of our show, is to have some fun trivia,
but have good times with your friends. Yeah. And your show captures that. It's a
great show. Pub trivia experience. That's the website as well, correct. Pub trivia
experience.com or has that moved? It has moved over to
pTebb.com. Our sister podcast is called Boozy
Bracketology. We have a theme. We stick with it. It's not the
trivia so much. No, that, because that, that one there is literally all about arguing
with your friends. We take a 64 seed, 32 seed pop culture
brackets and argue it out. We're in the midst right now of a
multi tier bracket work determining the best eighties movie ever
made. Oh, wow. So,
spoiler, back to the future,
Chris. I'll put all those links in the show. Note, are you
ready for the hot seat? I'm ready. All right, so we're going
to do four questions where the answers tie together for something
healthy. The title of the Sandra Bullock film about a
former homeless man who was drafted into the NFL is called the
blind blank. Blind side.
Blind side is correct. Your
second question. What is the common name for the little harmless
insects that buzz around bananas?
That I don't know, but it explains why there's little. There were little bugs in
my kitchen last week. Little harmless insects, I think, of our
gnats. I'm gonna say natsuki nats. I think I'll
do fruit flies
are nats, I believe. Where's the producer out on that one?
Oh, producer says, no, I can't give you because we're looking for the word fruit.
That's so. So keep in mind, the first answer was
side. The second answer we're looking for was fruit. The roman
emperor, born in 100 BC and was killed in 44
BC, was Julius Blank. The
Caesar. Caesar is correct. And our last
one, a lazy person who watches tv all day on the
couch, is called couch potato. Potato
is correct. So, Chris, what ties together side
fruit, Caesar potato,
salad. That is correct. They are all salads. You ran
that round. Let's go to your name five
bonus question. This is a very romantic name.
Five destinations that are known as romantic
retreats and go Bora Bora,
Bangkok, Honolulu. Las Vegas, and New York
City.
You got five right off the bat, but I always let the timer run the
full amount of time. Nice round, Chris. Very
well played so far. Let's go to Nico. Nico, welcome to the
show. Oh, thank you for having me. Tell us where you're
calling in from. Yes, I'm calling in from Boston,
Massachusetts. And there is a lot of snow out there.
And it's never warm in Massachusetts, not even
in June. I think it's always cold up there. Yeah, it's cool.
It's colder than cool right now. It's like under 15 degrees right now.
Oh, man. Well, tell us a little bit about what's going on in Boston. What
are you doing up there? Well, for me personally, you know,
essentially just working
with everything going on right now. But on top of. On top of
working, I also have a podcast called the Gamers Guide
of productivity. So in this podcast, I specifically
discussed the concept of gamification, because a lot of
my friends that have been playing video games, they sometimes feel, like,
inadequate because they put so much hours. And so the podcast is just
showing how their hard work and perseverance in gaming
can actually be a cheat of productivity in their.
In real life experiences if they just change their mindsets. And
so. And that's on Nico Penguin.com and at YouTube.
Nicopingen. Yeah, it's a great concept. A lot of dexterity. You
always hear a lot of, like, surgeons practice gaming to get, you know,
fine tuning with their hands. So I'll put all those links.
I'll put all those links in the show notes. Nico, are
you ready for the hot
seats? Oh, no, I'm not ready. Well,
let's see what happens. Remember, all four of these answers will be some sort of
healthy food. Your first one, the two
largest crocodilian species are crocodiles
and alligators.
Alligators are. Is. Alligators is. Are.
Correct. Correct. Your second question,
which substance is commonly referred to as black
gold oil? Is correct.
Two for two. And what color
is the thumb of a person who is excellent in
gardening? That would be green. Green
thumb. Correct. And
popular toppings on a plate of nachos are salsa,
cheese, sour cream, jalapenos, and a dollop of witch
green mush.
I know the name, but it's eluding my brain.
3 seconds made out of avocado
flipping my brain
buckle. Oh, I think you said it. You said it before
the buzzer. Even Chris says you got it right before.
So. So you're gonna love the final question here. So,
Nico, what ties together alligator or oil,
green and guacamole? Oh, no, I definitely don't know this
one. What? I definitely
100% know that you've said the answer.
Alligator oil, green and guacamole.
Avocado. Is correct. Correct.
Very well played, Nica. Let's go to your name five bonus
question. Name five activities or hobbies that are
fun to do as a couple, and I'll put 10 seconds
on the clock and go watching tv,
playing basketball, bowling. Reading together
and walking.
That is five fun activities or hobbies to do with a
couple. You kept it clean, which that was the one thing I was worried about.
Let's go to that scoreboard. We have Sarah with five,
Chris and Nico, one point apart between first and
second place. But don't worry, we have 30 points
available in this final round. And we're going to the
final round. And in this round is a video round. And I'm going to start
off with some very vague questions. Who am I? What
am I? Where am I? And I'll start to read you a series of
clues. Now, I've asked you each to bring in your own buzzers
so you can buzz in any time. If you buzz in on the first clue
and you get it right, that's worth three points. The second clue is worth
two points, and the last clue is worth one
point. Now, when you're right, you're going to earn those
points. We'll add those to those totals. But when you're wrong. We will
subtract the point value of that clue from your
total. So let's go around so everybody at home knows who's buzzing
in. Nico, let's hear your buzzer.
He's got the pen in the cup, and
Sarah.
Sarah's got the buzzer, and Chris
is got the wine bottle. So we'll go ahead
and we'll start the video around. You can buzz in whenever
you're ready. Who am I? Obviously, I put the
text outside of the box on this one. Who am I?
My disappearance remains a mystery.
Now, my clues or my. My pictures may or may not help you get
to the answer, and you'll see a little timer on the right side that helps
you. My second clue, I was the first female
