(00:00):
Foreign.
Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Stuff I Never Knew trivia game show podcast. I'm
Jeff. I'm your host. Tonight we have three great guests joining me.
Rachel, Terry, and Sam. Let's hear that theme music.

(00:20):
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. And in this game,
round one, we're playing medical miracles or
nightmares. And I'm going to read you a fact or a
statement about something that's happened in the past in the field of

(00:42):
medicine. You just have to tell me, is that true or
false? So that's. It's a 50, 50 guess. We're going to go in the order
which you got here tonight, which was Rachel, Terry, and Sam.
Rachel, you're up first. Mouse paste.
In ancient Egypt, they would mix a mashed mouse paste
with other ingredients and apply it to toothaches.

(01:06):
Is mouth paste true or false? Did they really do that?
I'm gonna say true. True is
correct. Correct. True is correct. And to
Terry, Sliced mouse. In England, one
remedy for warts was to cut a mouse in half and
apply it to the infected spot.

(01:29):
I hope that's false.
False is. Are you
kidding me? That would be a
nightmare walking around. You thought it was bad with just the work.
All right, over to Sam, the mouse stash.
In the Andes mountains, mouse hair was used to craft

(01:52):
mustaches to hide cleft lips. Oh, that's
gotta be false. False is
correct. Correct. Back to Rachel.
Snip away. Stuttering. In the 18th and 19th
century, doctors simply cured stuttering by cutting

(02:13):
off half of the tongue. Your reaction? Oh, my goodness.
Protecting my tongue. I'm gonna say false. You're gonna say
false. False is
incorrect. They really did that.
All right, I made up the name for this one. Arsenic O Hall
or Arsenic o hall. In the 18th century. Terry, this

(02:36):
one's for you. And up to the 1950s, arsenic
was a key ingredient in the treatment of malaria and
syphilis. True. True is
correct. Correct. And back to
Sam. This one under. Make mine a double. In the
1800s, an Italian chemist created a healing tonic with

(02:58):
coca leaves that was ideal for overworked
men, delicate women, and sickly children.
I'd say that's Cheryl. True is
correct. Correct. What are delicate women?
You know, the women that, like, they faint? You know.

(03:22):
Like smelling salts. Yeah. And
our last one for you, Rachel. Moldy bread. Back
to ancient Egypt, moldy bread was fed to cats so that their saliva
could be used to treat wounds.
Moldy. I'm gonna say
true. True is

(03:45):
incorrect. I made that one up. That was a false. They did not do
that one. And my favorite name of the night,
farts in a jar. In the middle Ages, some doctors
believe that black death was caused by deadly vapors.
In order to fight deadly vapors, you need deadly
vapors. Did in the

(04:07):
middle Ages.
Does that mean literally what you started with? Like, the
dodger had to, like, fluff in the jar and then, like, open it up and
say, sniff. Sniff. They're capturing, saving it. And then battling
black death with farts in a jar.
Well, something like this would probably be false.

(04:30):
False is.
No, no. And that's
why we don't have black Death today. That's a science fact.
Thanks to farts in a jar. And the last one in this
round is Sam. I see what you did there. In the
17th century Ireland, frog eyes were ground to a paste and

(04:53):
dehydrated to the consistency of a fruit gummy. These
gummies were prescribed as a hangover cure.
Oh. Want it to be true. But I think
it is true. True is
incorrect. I made that one up too. That was a lot of fun.

(05:15):
Thank you for playing round one. Let's go to that scoreboard and see
how we're doing. So far, only 3 points available so far. Sam got two
of the first three. Sam, you get a little bit of an advantage in
round two. Sam, you get to pick the order for round
two. Do you want to mix it up or keep it the same? Let's
keep it the same. All right, that means, Rachel, you're

(05:38):
heading to the hot seat. Okay. Rachel, welcome to the show. So
glad to have you here. Where are you playing from tonight? I live
in Argentina. I've been here 19 years. Yeah,
yeah. Very nice. It might be the furthest south that we've had a guest join
us here on the Stuff I never knew trivia game show. Tell us a little
bit about what you do in Argentina. So I'm a medical

(05:59):
intuitive, and I help people heal emotional blocks
that are keeping them stuck and keeping them sick. I used to be
a nurse, and then I went into more holistic healing and realized that I was
medically intuitive, and I studied crystals and Reiki and all kinds of healing
modalities, and so that's what I do now.
Very nice. And if people want to connect with you or reach you online from

(06:21):
the states here, how can people find you and get in contact?
So I'm on Instagram. Let me make sure it's quantum crystal Healing.
And you can send me a message there. I have one more question
for you, Rachel. Are you ready
for the hot seat? Okay,

(06:43):
so in round one, you make. It sound scarier than it is.
The hot seat.
In round two, we're playing the game called Connections. I'm going to read you a
series of questions and the answers all tie together
to be something sports related. So all three, or all four of your
questions, for all three of you, the answers will be a sports related

(07:06):
answer. They'll all tie together and I'll explain it as we go through it.
Rachel, your first connection. Now, the questions won't be sports related,
but the answers are going to tie together. J. Lo's other
nickname is Jenny from the blank
block. Jenny from the block is correct. So

(07:26):
you want to remember block. And I'll review them all as we go through here.
Your second question, what is the more common term
for an archaeological
excavation? Archaeological excavation. A1.
A dig. Dig is correct.
Correct. Two for two. And the

(07:48):
movie director famous for her and where the
Wild Things Are is Blank Jones.
Oh, don't know that one. Blank. Sometimes you can get to it if
you know, if you're following the other two answers. Block, dig.
And then we have. We do have a little timer and. And spike.

(08:12):
Spike is the answer. Spike Jones is the director.
And our fourth one. If someone deserves their punishment,
you might say it blanks them. Right.
Serves. Serves is correct. So,
Rachel, what ties together? Block, dig,
spike and serves. And remember, the category

(08:34):
is sports. Is it volleyball?
Volleyball, for the extra point is correct.
Very well played. You got four of the five points.
Now your five point bonus question.
Okay. Name five summer sports
that are not played in the Winter Olympics. And go.

(08:59):
Gymnastics, swimming, diving,
volleyball and soccer.
You got five of five. I always let the timer run to see
how many you'll get, but you can only get five points max. You got nine
out of 10 points. Very well played. Let's move

(09:20):
Terry to the hot seat.
All righty, Terry. Welcome to the show. Thank you. Where are you calling
in from? Chevy Chase, Maryland, in the metro D.C. area.
Oh, very nice. Chevy Chase, Maryland. What do you do down in Chevy Chase, Maryland?
I'm an intuitive energy healer and psychic medium for the
last 20 years. Oh, wow. We have a little

(09:43):
theme going so far tonight here. Yeah. So I
never know when we book the show, like, who everybody's going to be and tell
us a little about, you know, how can you tell us a little bit about
what you do down there? Yeah, yeah. So I work in the subconscious space. I
help people put their pieces of the puzzle together. Meaning that I'm
clairvoyant. Clairaudient and Claire sentient. That can help me determine
what's going on in your subconscious that keeps you stuck. And I can shift it

(10:07):
to allow you to feel more supported by all that is.
And if people want to connect with you and reach out to you, even we're
not too far away in Pittsburgh, how can they reach out and find you? Yeah,
you can find me on various platforms of my website,
terrycristine.com, instagram, Facebook, TikTok.
I post a lot on Facebook and Instagram. And on TikTok, I do

(10:29):
some celebrity. Readings from pictures and
Terry, are you
ready for the hot seat? Yes, I'm ready.
Here we go, our first one. Remember, all your answers will be some sort of
sports. If you're taller than 6 foot, 8 inches, you are

(10:51):
legally classified as what? Tall.
Well, taller than tall. All right, so you're legal.
So you're legally classified as
ginormous. Let's see if the producer.
The producer gives a thumbs up. Giant is the correct answer. We'll give you
giant. Oh, thank you. See, the

(11:13):
producer isn't as mean as I said he was.
And complete this Steve Miller Band lyrics. Some
people call me the space cowboy. Space
cowboy. Whoop, whoop. Some people call me Maurice
and buff, russet and burnt
umber are all different shades of which color?

(11:37):
Orange. Orange. We're looking for brown.
Brown. And your fourth question, your
connection, one found in bars. What is the name
of the mechanical bull that tosses drunk people around?
The bucking blank. Bronco. Bronco

(12:00):
what ties together Giant, cowboy,
brown, and Bronco.

correct.
Very good. Very well played. I think you tied Rachel so far. Four

(12:20):

and tell us a little bit about what you do in the northeast Pennsylvania.
I'm a spiritual life coach, energy reader, and aura
reader. Yes, I think there's going to
Be Go on. Energy workers. I have a feeling there's going to be a spin
off just based on this episode and my guest tonight.

(13:27):
This is great. And I have no. Like really?
This is amazing. So Sam, tell us a little bit about what you do
and your work up in the Pennsylvania area of the north. Yes,
absolutely. So I'm an Aura educator and reader. I also help
people through a spiritual life coaching and help them through spiritual
awakenings. You could find me on my website, imaginative

(13:50):

Alamode where I do videos with Aura's ice cream and
fashion. And I'm on Instagram as Imaginative House.
Very nice. All my guest links will be in the show notes, so make sure
you check them out. And I'm sure right after the show we're all going to
exchange information too. This is going to be amazing. Sam,

(14:11):
are you ready for
the hot seat? Ready. All right, Sam,
here we go. What is the Roman numeral?
Ccclx.
I know I promised there wouldn't be any math, but this is kind of math
related. That's having to do with sports,

(14:34):
huh? Yes. So there'll be a sports related
answer to this number.
I'm gonna have to pass on that one. That's okay. The
C's are 100, the L is 50 and the
X is 10. So 360. We're looking for 360.
Your second one. You'll like this one a lot better. If you are on a

(14:55):
trampoline, you might be inclined to try a back or
front blank flip. Flip is
correct. That was much better. Right?
Third question. If you are. If you are strong,
if you have a strong opinion about something, you might say that you have
an axe to blank. If you have a strong

(15:18):
opinion. Looks like somebody typed this incorrectly.
You might have a axe to blank.
No ax to grind. An axe
to grind. Okay. And
our third one. This brand of soda claims to be good for you due to
its prebiotic fiber and botanical content.

(15:43):
So you can kind of get the backwards there. It's 360 flip and
grind. If you think you know the sport, you might be able to
get this one even if you don't know it.
I don't think it's a sport, but I want to say kombucha.
We're close. It is ollie pop. So we're looking for Ollie
plus Pop. So Sam, what sport would

(16:06):
have 360s flips, grinds and ollies?
Snowboarding. Snowboarding. So close. What
Dave says he's gonna. You got a board? We're looking for board sports. He'll
give you skateboarding from the producer. Very well played.
And your connection. We did that. Your

(16:27):
name five bonus question name five
common human names that are also dog names.
And go. Doug,
Chuck, Miles,
Henry.

(16:47):
That is five. Producer tried tell me four, but
that was five. I did hear five names. Let's go to that score because
we're about to head to the final round and it is a very
close game. One point separates
everybody. Rachel's in the lead with 10. Terry and Sam
tied with nine. Let's go to that final

(17:09):
round. In this round, I'm going to read
you some very vague questions. Who am I? What am
I? Where am I? And I'm going to try to reveal the answer to you
through a series of clues. I'm going to read you three clues and you can
buzz in at any time. If you buzz in on the first clue,
that's worth three points. If you buzz in on the second clue,

(17:30):
that's worth two points. And if you buzz in on the last clue, that's worth
one point. Now, if you buzz in and you're right, you're going to earn those
points. But if you buzz in and you're wrong,
you will lose that point value. So it
gets a lot of fun. It gets very competitive. And in order to play the
game, I've asked each of my guests to bring in their own buzzers.

(17:52):
I'm going to test them out. Let's see how they go. Rachel, let's hear your
buzzer. She's got snapping
chopsticks. And
Terry, like buttons in
a box or something like that. Something in a box. And Sam,
a lightsaber. You got her lightsaber?

(18:15):
That's funny. I like it. It's almost like a tactical wand. Her wand.
Her magical wand. I won't be able to hear, but you flash it and
say your name at the same time just to make sure we catch it. All
right, let's go to that first one tonight. These are videos
I'm going to play for you and those of you listening at home. What
am I? What am I? Is your first category.

(18:37):
And here comes your first clue.
I have to be at least 51% corn.
So the thing that I'm describing is 51 corn. And as a warning,
my pictures may or may not help you get to the right answer. I may
try to deceive you. I have to be American made, too. So I have to

(18:57):
be 51% corn and American made.
And those of you watching, there's a little timer on the Right side tells you
how much time is left. And my first name might be
Jim, Jack or James.
You can buzz in whenever you know the answer. Terry.

(19:19):
Well, Jack Daniels. Well, the first thing, what we're
looking for, what this is, it's alcohol. It's.

times, too. You're allowed to buzz in. Even if you get it wrong, you can
