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 joining me tonight,
Alyssa, Caroline, and David. 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. And
as you know, on this show, we get right into it. In round one, I've
got a brand new game. We've never played this before. Who said
that? Was it Napoleon Bonaparte or
Hollywood actor Chris Evans who played Captain America?
What I'm going to do is read a quote. All my guests have to tell
me who said it, Napoleon or Captain America?
And I source these from brainy quotes. A lot of fun. It's a. It's like
a wikipedia of quotes. So check it out. Brainy quote. We're
gonna go in my order that I have you written down tonight, Alyssa, Caroline,
and David. Alyssa, you are first.
I swear to God, if you saw me when I am by myself in the
woods, I'm a lunatic. I sing, I
dance. Was that Napoleon or Chris Evans?
Gonna go with Chris Evans? Chris Evans is
correct. Correct. First one on the board,
over to caroline. Never interrupt
your enemy when he is making a mistake.
I'm going to go with Napoleon. Napoleon is
correct. Correct. Two for two,
over to David. If you wish to be a success in the
world, promise everything, deliver
nothing.
Doesn't sound Napoleon esque. So I'm gonna say Chris Evans. Chris
Evans is incorrect. It was
Napoleon. Back to
Alyssa. I am sometimes a fox
and sometimes a lion. The whole secret of government
lies in knowing when to be one or the other.
I'm gonna go with Napoleon. Napoleon two for two
is correct. Correct.
Over to caroline. I always say that
the times in my life when I've been happiest are the
times when I've seen a sunset.
Is that Napoleon or Chris Evans? Captain America.
I'm gonna go with Chris Evans. Chris Evans is
correct. Correct. To David.
Nothing is more difficult and therefore
more precious than to be able to
decide. I'm gonna go Napoleon.
Napoleon is
correct. Correct. And our last ones in
this round. Back to Alyssa. Impossible
is a word to be found only in the
dictionary of fools. Feel like I've
stuck with Napoleon this whole time, so let's go Napoleon again
for the sweep. Is correct. A. Well played,
Alyssa in round one. Caroline.
I can handle the craziness some of the time,
maybe most of the time, but I know I can't handle
it all of the time. I'm gonna go
with Chris Evans. Chris Evans for the sweep.
Correct. Correct. And to
David, look at pictures of me growing up. It wasn't
always the way it is now. It was a bumpy road for
me. All right,
so I'm thinking Napoleon wouldn't have really had pictures, but I'm going to go Chris
Evans. Oh, he's using technology to decipher
my clues. Chris Evans is correct.
Correct. Very well played that you want eight of nine
in that round as a team. Let's go to that scoreboard. We have
Alyssa and caroline with three apiece, David with two.
That means David gets to pick the order for round two.
Do you want to keep it the same or change it up?
Let's flip it just for the heck of it. All right. David is
going to the hot seat. David, welcome to round
two. Thank you, sir. Well, tell us where you're calling
in from. So I'm actually. We're calling in today from the
poconos. Live in the Philly area full time, but
up in the poconos for the summer. Awesome. Anything you'd like to plug,
promote, talk about while you're up in the poconos for the summer?
No. No. Enjoy your
summers. And, yeah,
I think we talked about this last time we met. Is your pretzel cone. My
happiest memory of the poconos is they didn't have regular ice cream
cones. They had an ice cream cone that was made of a hard pretzel. It
was the best thing ever. We got the salty and the ice cream.
It was amazing. When it comes to dessert up here. Yeah. So don't flood. Don't
flood the poconos and take away David Summer. But if you are in the poconos,
try to find that pretzel cone. It's somewhere on a hillside. I can tell you
that everything here. Is on a hillside.
So, David, in round two, we're going to play
$100. Who wants to be a millionaire? Questions. These are actual questions from
the millionaire board game, but I've removed the multiple
choice options. And then at the end of that, we're going to do a
name five barbecue question. I'll give you
name five. But in the category will be something related to
barbecue or backyard cookouts or something summer related.
David, are you
ready for the hot seat? Let's do it.

gonna go to that name five bonus question. I'll put 10 seconds on the clock.
Name five types of covered dishes you could bring to
a cookout and go. Baked beans,
pasta salad,
pickles, and cucumber.
At the buzzer. Five for five. You swept that round getting
all nine points. Well played, David. That means we're
going to Caroline. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Where
are you calling in from? I am calling in from St. Louis, Missouri.
St. Louis. Anything special fun happening in St. Louis this summer?
It has been a hot summer so far,
so we have more hot days to come. They say we're going to get 50
days this summer where it'll feel like a hundred or higher.
Oh, my goodness. Well, you say cool. If you've heard of the
Poconos, travel a little bit east. It's. You may get like
60 degree nights. You might like that. Yeah, that sounds wonderful.
Well, tell us about what you do out in St. Louis and how can people
connect and find you? Absolutely. So I am

by kryptonite? Superman.
Superman. For three. Four. Three is correct.
And what is the home city of the
NBA team? The Knicks.
New York. New York is
correct. Correct. We built a little
tension for effect there, so we don't have the NBA.

all those links in the show notes. Alyssa,
are you ready for
the hot seat? I'm kind of scared because everyone just nailed
it. Well, when you hear the first question, it might put you
at ease. These, remember, these are the $100 questions from who wants to be
a millionaire? How many months are there in a
year? A leap year, too? I'll accept either
answer. Twelve. Well, twelve is
correct either way. And what is the
name of the mouse created by Walt Disney
in 1928?
Mickey. Mickey. I also accept Mortimer, which was the original
name he was talked out of, which later became another mouse, but I don't.
I remember Mortimer being the first mouse, but I would take either one.
Oh, phew. And which
legendary outlaw led a band of merry men
and lived in Sherwood forest? Robin Hood.
Robin Hood is correct.
And who invented the telephone?
Alexander Graham Bell. Alexander
Graham Bell is
correct. Correct. Four for four. Very well
played. We'll put 10 seconds on the clock,
name five types of drinks that are perfect for a
summer cookout, and go.
Cocktails, mocktails, beer, soda,
classic water. I think that was.
You gave me seven. I can only give you points for five. But
everybody swept the entire second round.
Let's go to that scoreboard. Look how close this is.
Alyssa and Caroline with twelve, David with eleven. It's a
one point game, and we have 30 points remaining
in the final round. Let's go to the final round.
We've got ten questions worth 30 points. And in
this round, it's a video round. For those of you watching, if you're listening at
home, going to be the same way. I'm going to read a very
vague question. Who am I? What am I? Where am I?
And then I'm going to start to read a series of clues to help you
figure that out. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? There'll be three
clues for every question. If you think you know it, buzz
in on the first clue. That's going to be worth three points.
The second clue is worth two points, and the last clue is worth
one point. Now, there'll be pictures, there may be
clues. You want to make sure that everything lines up, because
I may try to fool you with some of my pictures, or the
first clue may match multiple things. So, you know all
three clues have to match to who am I? What am I? Where am I?
And if you're right, when you buzz in, we're going to add those three points
to your score. But if you're wrong, we'll subtract those
points from the score. So you want to be fast, but you want to be
accurate. And I've asked each of my guests to bring their own buzzers in
tonight so the folks at home know who's buzzing in. Let's
go around. Alyssa, let's hear your buzzer.
She goes the jenga blocks. And David,
my favorite, a fork in a cup or spoon in a cup.
Yeah. Caroline got the bells,
so everybody will know who's buzzing in. Are you
ready for the first question? This is
a what? What am I? Oh,
wait. Who
am I? I
may have visited Alaska hundreds of years before the first
documented exploration.
Our second clue for two points. My
travels were first documented by a romance
novelist I met in prison. And you'll see on the
right side, there's a little timer that comes down, let you know how much time
is left for each clue. And there was a childhood
game named after me for one point.
No, this one eludes you. We're looking for
Marco Polo.
Polo. Marco polo. Alright, let's try
the second one here. This one's a little bit easier. We're looking for a
food. What food item am I?
Our first clue for three points. I am made from tropical
fruits, seafood and
vegetables.
Our second clue for two. I am
traditional japanese dish made from vinegared rice,
sugar and salt.
And your last one. Hands on the buzzers for this one. I am typically
served with soy sauce, wasabi and pickled ginger.
Caroline, sushi. Sushi for one point
is correct. Correct. First point
is always the hardest, we say on this show. Now you see how the rhythm
works. Let's go to that third
question. What am I? I'm looking for a
what
I am an annual event celebrated on the second
Monday of October. Canada.
Alyssa. Thanksgiving. Canadian
Thanksgiving is correct.
Correct. I'm from Canada.

Canada. All right. That was three points for you. Well
played. What country am I? I'm looking for a country.

and mediterranean coastlines.

my diverse landscapes, from the Sahara desert to
the Atlas mountains.
Oh, that buzz. Our third clue. My capital is

Casablanca. Morocco.

correct. Correct for a point.
Let's go to our fifth one tonight.
I'm looking for a. Who am I?

title in 2004 at Wimbledon.

Our second clue. I have held the number one spot in the
ATP rankings for a record of 310
weeks.
Our last one for one point. I am known
for my one handed backhand and my rivalry.
Rivalry with Raphael Nadal.
You'll hear the name Roger Federer is who we were
looking for. Roger Federer. Alright, let's get away
from the sports. Let's go into acting.
I'm looking for a famous actor
or actress. So which famous actor or actress am I looking
for? The Huffington Post said I
was unquestionably the greatest actor
of all time.
It could be anybody at that point. Let's go to the second clue for two
points. See if we narrow it down. I retired
from acting in 2017.
No. And I am the only
male actor to have won three oscars in
the best actor category, including films
like Gangs of New York. I think I portrayed Lincoln.
I am Daniel Day Lewis.
All right, four questions remaining. It's a very
ratings here. You're doing great. What food
item am I? What food? We did well on the food last
time. Let's see. I am french. I am a french term for
a clear, rich tasting stock or broth.
You're not french canadian, are you, Alyssa? That would help.
And I am often made from beef, veal, or
chicken bones, and sometimes fish. To
David.
Uh, I was thinking bone is. I'm thinking, like, vicious
wa or something like that. I don't know.
Vichy swa is
incorrect. Shocking.
All right, let's see. Let's see if the name and
the it comes out in this next hint. For one point,
my name means to concentrate or to

All right, I think we have three questions remaining.
We are looking for a who. Who am I?

freestyle, and individual medley
events. I think I heard. I heard spoon in a
cup. David, I'm gonna go with Phelps. Because of
the pictures partly.
Let's see. Michael Phelps is

a little bit. What am I?
Am I this forest person with a flower head?
Let's find out. I

And let's go to our final
scoreboard of the night. Look how close this is. Alyssa in
the lead by one point over caroline with
14 points, Alyssa with 15, and David with twelve.
If David gets us right on the first clue, it will
force a tie. Who am
I? Who am I? Let's see how this
unfolds.
My nickname was Papa.
My full name is Papa. Papa. Papa. Papa.
Our second clue. I was a
registered spy with the KGB and was in two plane
crashes in two days.
It's a rough two days. That's great. Yeah. And

I think I'm associated with Key west and
Ernest Hemingway. It won't change the outcome of the
night. It looks like Alyssa is gonna walk away with 15
points. I want to thank my guests for joining me tonight. This was
so much fun. It always goes so fast. Let's go around one more
time. Any kind of plugs, anything you want to talk about. Pretzels in the
poconos. Let's start with Caroline.
Jeff, this was so much fun. I wish I would have trusted myself and chimed
in a little more, but I always love trivia to
test my knowledge of interesting facts. So
thank you so much for having me on here again. You can find
me@carolinemug.com I spend a lot of time on Instagram, which is
airline mug. And one of the things that's really important to me
is gratitude. And earlier this year, I put a
gratitude journal out on Amazon called the power of
gratitude. So if you want to check that out and integrate a
gratitude practice into your life, I encourage you to do it. It helps
create a lot of optimism and a lot of other wonderful benefits.
So again, thank you so much. And it's been fun playing with
everyone. Awesome. And to David,
thank you for having me. I feel like I really
disappointed. Here I am, you saying that I wanted
to come and defend my title and I got my butt kicked by these two
amazing ladies here. So congratulations. I've got to come
back on now to redeem myself. So let me know when.
And great show. Love listening. And
you know, I love the idea of gratitude. And, yeah,
thank you. You're still batting 500, which is better than any pro baseball
player. This is true. And to our
winner tonight, Alyssa, anything. One last time. Plug promote. The
floor is yours. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. It was great
competing with you all. I'm surprised I walked away
because I am not a trivia buff. And I was like, I do know
a few things. Nothing related to sports, obviously, or people, but a few
things related to Canada. So that's good.
Like I said earlier, you can follow it. Find me at Elisabrade, author
on Facebook and Instagram. You can also check out my book on Amazon.

mothering journey identities. So please feel free to reach out

you to my guests. It was such a close game. It was a couple points
separated first from third, but let's dance our
way out of here.
