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,
jenny, dina, and Graeme. Let's hear that. Theme
music.
That is correct. You are correct. You are wrong.
That is correct. We've got some holiday songs
coming up here, and I wrote a very absurdly
vague Christmas song game. So I'm going to absurdly,
vaguely describe a Christmas song to you, and you got to
tell me, what song am I talking about? We'll go in the order which
my guests have decided to join me tonight, which is jenny, dina,
and Graeme. Jenny, your first question.
This song takes you on a journey through a
night filled with stars, calm, and a sense
of divine peace.
So we're looking for the name of the Christmas
song. We would like the full three minute version if
you could sing it. You don't have to sing it, but you get a bonus
point if you sing it. It's a
silent night. Silent night is
correct. Silent night.
Let's go to Dina. This song
whirls you into a winter wonderland where the scenery is
blanketed in white and a certain traditional structure
stands proudly made of snowflakes.
Is it walking in a winter wonderland? Walking in a
winter wonderland is what? It's
frosty the snowman. He's the structure. That was
a trap. That was too vague. I was with you on that
one. Yeah, I thought too easy. They are
absurdly vague. Here we go. To
Graeme. In this spirited carol, a group of hoofed
antlerd animals embark on an annual flight, guided
by a particularly luminous nose leader.
Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer. That is
correct. Rudolph the Red nosed reindeer. Back
to Jenny, an upbeat melody where the
singer makes a list of festive desires, but in the
end, wants nothing more than the presence
of a special someone.
Oh. All I want
for Christmas is you. All I want for Christmas is you
is correct. You
put it together. I was watching you. Because not only are
these absurdly vague, but these are very hard in the moment when you first hear
them for the first time. And to Dina, this
catchy tune describes an amusing and somewhat
chaotic event involving a grandmother and a
well known holiday character.
Grandma got run over by reindeer. For the
bonus point. For the singing is correct.
I had to get it. I had to do what I had to do. And
to Graeme, a longing for
snowy scenery and sleigh bells is the theme of this holiday
classic, ideal for those dreaming
of a traditional white Christmas.
This one can go, like, four ways on this one.
I feel there's like two potential answers right to the question,
but I'm going to go with I'm dreaming. A white
Christmas snow. It
is literally white Christmas.
All right, we're going back to the top of your last one for each of
you. Back to Jenny. This tune brings to
life a fantastical ride through the sky
filled with jingling bells and laughter, evoking the
essence of a magical Christmas Eve journey.
Ah. Oh, God.
Yeah, I was going to be a producer on this one. I
would just focus on that middle line and just don't overthink it.
Jingle bells, jingle bells is
correct. Thank you. Thank you. I don't
remember that song going through the sky, so sometimes
you can't trust chat. GPT back to Dina,
your last one, a merry and upbeat melody that asks you
to join in the joy and festivity of the
season, particularly by adorning a
certain evergreen tree.
The only one I can think of is not Marion. Upbeat.
Bump it up. Oh,
deck the halls. Deck the halls is.
Oh, my God.
And the last one to Graeme, my favorite one of the night. In this
playful tune, a child expresses a unique and rather large
holiday request, hoping for a peculiar
yet jolly companion. Peculiar yet
jolly companion.
I can give you a hint, too. It's only fair. I think
Jenny wants to give you a hint. This is like Jenny's favorite song.
I know it's all I want for Christmas, but I'm trying to remember what it
is. That's not all you want. You only want one thing, and it's rat.
Hippopotamus for Christmas.
Is correct. It's the season of giving. We are giving away
answers in the first round. Thank you for playing. I
guess we'll see what the producers think about that one.
Let's go over to that scoreboard and see how we're doing. It is the spirit
of giving. We have a tie game. Three, three and three. Nobody missed any
in that round, which means we're going to keep the order the same
and we're going to go and put Jenny in the hot
seat. Jenny, welcome to the show.
Where are you calling in from? I am in New Hampshire. New
Hampshire. Tell us a little bit about New Hampshire and what you do up there.
All right. Well, it's pretty much frosty
right outside now. Well, it was this morning. Now it's
like 60 degrees. I am a life
coach and it's the
season to start supporting people as they
tend to lean into their vices
and start
needing all the support they can get. And that's what
I like to do help people. Sounds good. If people wanted to connect
with you, what's the best way to find you or reach out and
not take advantage of your services, but certainly utilize your services.
Yes. Thank you. So my name is Jenny and my business is called
gentle coaching. And I like to play off of the j
in Jenny. So it's gentle with a j. So you can
find me at gentle coaching. And I'm
also starting my own podcast,
which is totally different name. It's called sideline
Sisters, and it's combining my love of
sports and connection and
camaraderie. And so it's going to be a whole bunch of fun
and all different aspects of the games,
and it's going to be a lot of. So, sounds good. And will that be
available on your website as. Yes. Yep. You can access
that and that's going to be launching in good. I'll
have all those links in the show notes. But Jenny, I have one question for
you. No. Are you ready? I'm not.
You knew the question. Yes. It's supposed to be a surprise, a building
suspense. Well, each of my guests in
this round will each get a nursery rhyme connection quiz, which
means you're going to get four questions and the answers all tie
together for a fifth bonus point to be some sort of nursery rhyme
question. And we'll figure that out as we get to it. And then we'll do
a name five bonus question where I'll give you a very simple
category like name five spices in your spice cabinet. You have to tell
me cumin, paprika, and do five things. But you only have 10
seconds to do that. So that's part of the fun.
Jenny, your first nursery rhyme connection quiz.
Remember, the answers are, what's important here? What type
of herring will lead you down the wrong path?
What type of nursery rhyme? No, but the answers
will tie together to be a nursery rhyme. This is just
a saying you may have heard about a herring. Oh,
Red. Red herring is
correct. Correct. So remember, Red. Red's important
here for the nursery rhymes. Your second one, what relation
is quiz. Elizabeth II to Prince
Harry? Grandmother.
Grandmother is correct.
Your third question, Pinocchio is a boy.
Made out of what? I'm a little boy.
Wood. Wood is correct. You got
three for three. Your fourth one,
which word follows arctic timber
and gray wolf?
That is correct. Now, what ties together
red? Grandma wood and
wolf?
Ride? Riding like little Red Riding
Hood. Little Red Riding Hood is correct. Dina was so excited, she was
bouncing. Okay,
now, here we go. All right, five more bonus. You went five for five on
that one. Is the hot seat stressful? It's more than you think it
is. So here we go. I'm going to put treading this one.
This is easy. You'll like it. Name
five Christmas gifts that are food related or food
and go. Candy cane,
fruitcake, mints, ribbon
candy, and chocolate and mint
and fruitcake. You gave me six. I think a couple were
twice, but I only needed five. You swept that round, Jenny. You
went ten for ten. Well played. Let's bring Dina to
the hot seat. Jenny, sweating.
Dina's sweating for Jenny. Everybody's sweating. Dina. Welcome
back to the show. Thank you. One of my favorite guests. I've had you on
the show a couple of times. We just had you on maybe five, six
episodes ago, and your podcast wasn't running. We air
our show, and now your podcast is running again. Tell us a little bit
about your podcast and where people can find you. Jeff, you are my
inspiration. We had to bring it back. The Love
podcast. Wait a second.
They didn't have to do that.
So you can find the love pod on Apple, Spotify. Wherever you get your
podcast, we recap reality tv shows. Right now we're doing House
of villains. Next season will be love is blind, of course.
And we also give you your reality tv recap news in five
minutes or less every week. Very good. And what's the website for
it? Oh, don't go there. I don't even know. Just go to
Apple or Spotify and look up the Love pod podcast. We're also
on all social media as pod podcast. Love pod
podcast. Dina, are you
ready for the hot seat? Never.
Same thing. We're going to do five nursery rhyme questions and then a

correct. Your second question, which
animals have fetlocks? Four. Locks and
withers? Horses. Horses

farm raising horses or training horses? Yeah, I have two
rescue horses, and I do some rescue and rehab of
horses. That question was written for you. I was ready to
go. Leonardo DiCaprio starred as a
stockbroker in a film named after which famous
street in New York? Wall Street.
Wall is correct. Wall street.
And fabrice is famous for creating

because Mikechucci designs. Com's mom
used to collect that. It's eggs. Eggs is
correct. Dina, what ties together
fall, horses, wall and
eggs? Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty
is correct. Now your
name five bonus question. Sounds about short 10 seconds on the
clock. Okay. Name your
five favorite Christmas gifts ever and go.
A car, a dog, a minky blanket, a really
nice piece of art, and vacation.
That is correct. You want five for five as
well? Well played, Dina. We're going to bring
Graeme to the hot seat. Welcome to the show.
Hi, my name is Graeme, and I'm from Embersky
Media. And basically, yeah, I
do a lot of tech stuff, astronomy,
astrophotography, and I do a couple podcasts,
Embersky something or other, like Embersky filmmaking podcasts, where I
talk to filmmakers about how they make various types of films. And
I have a tech podcast I'll be launching, too, which is going to be like
Embersky technology, which is a rehash of one I did before, but
now it'll be in video format. Do you have a website, or is
it best to just find you on YouTube? Best to find me on YouTube. Although
I do have Embersky media on all the socials. I think that
matter. Sounds good. I'll link all that up in the show
notes. Graeme, are you
ready for the hot seat? Sure.
All right, here we go. Nursery rhyme questions. A threat disguised
as something harmless is a threat. That should be
a threat. The producer is going to have me little pop up with a little,
like, whoopsie. A threat disguised as
something harmless is a blank in sheep's clothing
a wolf? In sheep's clothing a wolf. That's three questions with wolf in
it. Wolf is correct. Our second
one, Winnie the Pooh and piglet love playing
Pooh blank. Pooh
blank. Winnie the
Pooh and love playing Pooh
blank.
I want to say hide and seek, but I'm pretty sure that's wrong.
Pooh hide and sink is correct. It's poo sticks.
Poo sticks. Okay, and our third
question, which Bendy accessory is often served with
fizzy drinks? Straws. A
straw is correct. And
buildings made out of wood are less stable
than those made out of blank and mortar.
Stone and mortar. What was it? I guess bricks and
mortar would be. Bricks and mortar is
correct. Sorry, I live in stone and mortar house.
I would have let you get it. So, Graeme, what ties
together wolf sticks,
straw and bricks? The three little
pigs. Three little pigs is correct.
All right, there's going to be a little bit of a disclosure on this next
question. You can earn bonus points if you name
the people who gave you the five worst Christmas gifts
you ever received. You can just say what they are. But I'll give
bonus points if you name people and go.
Sweater, socks, that was parents.
I'm going to blank on everything else. Just make them
up. Well, you got two. And then you named
two people that got you them. So you got four points on that round.
Very well. Do I want to say certain
people? Now, look at this scoreboard. We have two
points between first and second place. Jenny and Dina
with 13, Graeme with eleven. We're going to go to the
final round. I'm going to read you a very vague question,
like, who am I? What am I? Where am I? And then I'm going to
start to read you a series of clues. You can buz in at any time,
and you can buz in multiple times if you want. If you're right
on the first clue, 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'll earn the points, but when you're wrong, you're going to lose
that point value. So you want to be fast, but you want to be
accurate and so that everybody at home knows who's buzzing in when.
Let's test your buzzers. We'll start with you, Graeme. You're up in the top. Right.
Let's hear your buzzer when you
hear the bell. That's Graeme. Jenny.
Did that come through? It did come through. It's called error. I don't
know if that's. Oh, the Microsoft error. Microsoft error, yeah.
And to Dina. Oh, you know, I had to bring the raffy buzzer back.
I don't even know how to promo all the time.
Very good. I have ten questions coming up, 30 points total.
So that two point difference isn't going to make too much of a difference right
now because we have 30 points coming your way. Our
first one is a natural phenomenon. I'm looking
for a natural phenomenon, and my name
is derived from a roman goddess.
And you'll see on the right side there's a timer. So you can wait to
the second clue, but you'll know how much time is left.
I am caused by the solar wind.
Graeme? Aurora. The aurora
borealis is correct.
Correct. We asked that question when the guy
who films the sky is on the show. Right.
Wait a second. I mean, any other astronomy related
space questions? Feel for yourself. It's a pop tart. I know it's
a pop tart. Well, what am I? I was first successfully
developed by Tim Berners Lee in
1989.
Is it the pop tart or toaster strudel? Sometimes my pictures may or may
not represent the answer. I revolutionize how people
access and share information globally. Graeme? The
Internet. The Internet or the World Wide Web is
correct. Correct.
All right, here we go. This is for our world travelers here. Where am I?
I'm somewhere in the world. Remember, photos may
or may not. I am
crisscross by the Arno river and known for my art
and architecture.
Graeme? Florence. Florence
is correct.
Graeme, do you have an encyclopedia next to you? No, but
I've been there and I have a pretty good memory.
All right, these next questions have nothing to do with Graeme. There we
go. I'm looking for a literary character. What
literary character am I? I first appeared in
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's work. Did
you hear me? I did that first. I heard.
Jenny. Jenny, I saw you. Okay.

I'm just going to go home. You're already home. Who am
I? I'm looking for a who. I was born in Germany and greatly
influenced the world. Anybody know any
Germans? Einstein. Graeme?
Einstein is correct.
All right. Goodbye.
All right, here's another traveling question. Hopefully Graeme
hasn't been here. Where am I? I'm
looking for a. Where I am known
as the city of a hundred spires.
Graeme? Prague. Prague
is correct.
Dina's like, what's happening here? Am I? You know what? I'm just going to
start buzzing in and I'm going to name things.
We just need to guess, but then I guess we'll lose all our
points. I'm looking for an art movement. What art movement am
I? I flourished in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Now, that has to be vague enough. Oh, I don't know.
I think I heard Dina first. Yeah, let her go.
Canada. No, I'm just kidding.
Abstract. Abstract is
incorrect.
Graeme. Still
Graeme. Yeah. Renaissance. Renaissance is
incorrect. We're going to take three points back from you
and Jenny. Are you buzing in? No, I'm waiting for another
clue. No, that's what this meant. Hurry. Come on. I want more
information. And let's go to the
second clue. We have to wait for the timer because it's a video.
Bum, bum, bum. Here we go. Characterized by bold
colors and dramatic, impulsive lines.
Impressionism. What is it?
Impressionism. In the 19th and
20th century, impressionism is
incorrect. I'm going to lose all my points that I got, so don't worry. Yeah.
You are okay with that? I'm
okay with that. Not impressionism, no.
And Vincent van Gogh and Paul
Gowen were prominent figures in this
movie.
Yeah, what is that movie? This wasn't the impressionism. It was
impressionism. I get a point for that.
Lame.
So lame. All right. What am I? How hard could this
be? Not you. What am I besides
lame? According to Dina, I've been a vital part of human
history, often seen in ancient texts.
What am I? Am I praying?
Cherubs in the garden. I come in many
forms and sizes and can be quite powerful or
quite peaceful.
Hands on your buzzer. Here it comes. Whether in
a bottle or a tap, I'm essential for life. I think I
heard the bell. Graeme.
I'm the same. Water. Water is
correct. I was going to say Mike Tucci
designs. That was my second guess.
All right, what am I? Here's another. Oh, here's a who am
I? Who am I? All
right. I've evolved tremendously over the
past century. Remember, my photos
may or may not match
the answer. You can find me in
every home and often in pockets.
Call rappy. Rappy. Adina. Pens.
Pens are incorrect.
Every home and often in pockets. Coins.
The coin changed in the 1940. I'm essential for
communication in the modern world.
Jenny. Phones.
Phones are correct. The
telephone. I sensed an outside presence
guiding you. I tried to throw you off with my owl.
All right, let's try that again. Ready? Who
am I? Here's another. Who am
I? I've been known to change
roles and appearances.
I've been known to change roles and appearances.
Our second clue for two points. My origins are debated,
but I'm celebrated worldwide.
Origins are debated. Our last
clue of the night for one point. I bring joy to children, often
during a specific winter holiday. Graeme.
Santa Claus St. Nick. On the Christmas show, Santa
Claus St. Nick is correct.
Let's go to that scoreboard. But I have a hint. Wow, it
was really close. Jenny was 17.
Only four points better was graham.
Graeme. Who came out plugging in the first part of that
third round. Very well played. Graeme is our winner
tonight. Let's go around one more time and plug promote. Talk
about whatever you want. I'm going to turn the floor over to you and
Dina. All right? Okay, so love Todd

Hello. Okay, so it's Embersky media again. Science, technology,
space, all that good stuff. And I guess I should also plug
megapixel travel, where I've traveled to, like, 25 countries. So
there's that website which has a blog on all that stuff. Sorry.
So what you're saying is all my questions really were written for
you. I told you, if you start talking about as people,
I'm like, oh, God, I'm out. But
travel, science, technology, I'm your
guy. Sounds good. Well, congratulations to all my players tonight. This was
a ton of fun. Let's 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.
