Hey, what's up? I'm Clarissa. I'm Kourtney. And this is 30 Dirty and Dying, where we are 30 -somethings who are not doing so hot. Sometimes we get sad. And I'm sad right now. Yeah, I made her sad. Don't worry. She's going to get more set. But Mike's here, so I'm happy about that. Yeah, we have a guest. Hi, Mike. Hello, I'm back. Again. And it's almost your birthday. Yay. This is your birthday present. The podcast. Great. It's a great birthday present. It's what you've always
wanted. Yep. Just to spend time with us. Yep. Anyways, Mike's here to help us with a very special chaotic trivia episode. We love our chaotic trivia variety show. And Mike is the trivia guy. Mike is the trivia guy. Mr. Trivia. I feel like you're really setting me up for failure here. It's because he knows everything. You're really setting me up for failure. He has all of the facts in his head. Wow, she's really a petty bitch today. On air, off air. I am okay at trivia. Me too.
I'm okay at it. I would say I'm slightly above average. Yeah, yeah. Slightly. Which is why we're going to be the contestants today. Because Kourtney was too scared to play either one of us. Because I always lose. So this is just like chaotic. Well, you put this game together 30 minutes ago. Sure, call it a game. So why don't you tell us what our listeners can expect? So I just have a bunch of, like our previous chaotic variety
show, I have a bunch of trivia board games. I also have little cutouts of questions that were boy questions and girl questions. So we're being sexist today, got it. I think it should be that we're trying to go against the stereotypes. Yeah, that's what we're doing. We're trying to prove them wrong. Or, I don't know. We'll see what happens. I don't really know. If it's all about cars, I'm fucked. And then, because Clarissa here has gotten really into Lord of the Rings,
and I hear you love it. I do. I have some Lord of the Rings trivia, because she's just binged all of the movies. Pretty much since the new
year, I've been pretty obsessed with it. books too i'm into it i mean it takes about that long to watch all of the lord of the rings so yeah no i've had to space it out a little bit don't get me wrong um and then i and i'm aware that you guys both enjoy history so i got some history questions so the first i do enjoy history but history is a very broad topic it's just history i just googled history trivia sick so i got some history trivia I have some random trivia, I have
some Lord of the Rings trivia. Well, that's what we're going to do today, chaotic trivia variety show featuring Mike. But first, we have to do a little bit of millennial history. When we go back in time. Back in time. All right. Back in time. All right. To a very special year for, since Mike and I are co -parts, I don't know. co -participants in the trivia. But also my wife and husband. Yeah, co -spouses. Sister -wives,
if you will. Mike's my sister -wife. And we were both born in 1994, because Courtney likes to rob a good cradle. That's what you're going to do. 1984. So, I was born. I was also born. I was three. Just waiting in the wings for us. Like, at... On your birthdays, just like in my soul as a three -year -old, I'm like, this is it. I knew that day was special. Hell yeah, my soulmate was born. I knew it. You woke up a few months later in August and was like, oh my god,
another one. Another one. Another one. Just like DJ Khaled. We the best. All you do is win, Courtney. I don't know, I feel like I'm losing pretty hard right now. You're not even gonna play the game. Yeah, but I think I'm the loser here. I think you're the winner because you have two... Bitchin' 1994 Sister Wives. I do. Alright. So, since Mike is actually willingly participating in Back in Time this time... I think willingly is a strong word. Well, he's doing it, and he did some research.
Well, I think it's different because I don't have to go back through my social media like you guys normally do. Well, because... I didn't have social media in 1994. No, there was none in 1994. Yeah. Maybe a chat room somewhere. Maybe. I wasn't on it. Neither was I. So, Mike, tell us. Well, if you want to lead into that, that was the year Amazon was born. Wow. Wow. Wow. You were born with Amazon. Crazy. Yep. It started with books, correct? It did. Yes. July 5th, 1994.
I'm older than Amazon. I wish I was worth a trillion dollars. Aren't we all older than Google? Yeah, we are. First smartphone was introduced by IBM. Ibm. Did you just say Ibm? Oh, I love you so much. Yeah. The famous O .J. Chase with the white Bronco. And we know how much Corsa loves O .J. Orange Juice? O .J. Simpson. Oh. They did call him The Juice. I'm sure. When he ran in football and then from the police. They were like, The
Juice is loose! People made signs and hung him over the highway where he was doing the slowest chase known to man. With his Bronco. Yep. Actually, it wasn't his. It was his friend, A .C. Cowlings, who was driving. So not only did he murder, but he stole a vehicle? No, no, no, no. A .C. had the same Bronco. So O .J.'s Bronco had been impounded for evidence because it was filled with blood. Oh, you know, blood didn't fit, so whatever.
But that Bronco had been impounded, but his friend had one that looked the exact same, and that's the one that was in the chase. Which we have seen. Yes. No, I wasn't there. No, no, no, no. We've seen the actual Bronco. Like, not the... Oh, we went to that... Yeah. In Tennessee, right? Yep. It's just a crime museum in Tennessee. Oh, okay. Okay, in other words, Pop Culture Friends premiered on September 22nd. Lion King was June 15th. Favorite Lion King character. Go. The monkey.
He was wild. What monkey? The monkey? The baboon? Oh, Rafiki. Oh, yeah. I think I have to say Timon. Fair. So, honestly, I like Scar. Oh, yeah, he's hot. The musical number. I mean, that's a lion. It's between Scar and Mufasa. Yeah, which is why I didn't see the new one, because it didn't make any sense to me, but... I was gonna watch it. I'll probably watch it when it's, like, available. Yahoo was founded? Yahoo! January, so I'm not older than Yahoo. PlayStation debuted. PlayStation
1. I had a PlayStation 1. We had one. December 3rd. I played NASCAR 98 on that bad boy. I believe we have all of them now. Yeah, because the one that we have is probably mine. Yeah. You guys have every console? I don't have every console, but I definitely have every PlayStation and most Xboxes at this point. Yeah, because I had the PlayStation, PlayStation 2. I had a PlayStation 2. That was my shit. That's how I played DDR. That's how I played Guitar Hero. And Guitar Hero.
I was so good at Guitar Hero. I know we have a 64 GameCube, Wii, Wii U, and two Switches. Wii U. Wii, Wii, Wii U. Wii, Wii U. Some music news. Woodstock 94. The Tragic Death of Kurt Cobain was in 94. Rip. Yeah, that was sad. And I listened to like Korn for the first time in a while. Interesting. I was obsessed with them in middle school. I really liked them. They still hit. I really liked that song Here to Stay. I know a lot of Korn songs. I got some good ones.
They all kind of sound very similar. Freak on a Leash. That's the banger. Do you think anyone uses Yahoo anymore? I'm sure somebody does. I use Yahoo for emails and for fantasy. Do you really? Oh yeah, Yahoo fantasy. I knew that. Yeah. You still have a Yahoo email? Yeah, it's like my professional. Interesting. I found some other stuff from 1994. Tell me all about it. I have some other music, some albums that came out. So, Dookie by Green Day, which is one of
my favorite albums ever. A very rare Diamond album. You don't see those often. You don't. Park Life by Blur. Sure. Name a Blur song. Isn't Blur who does song number two? Yeah. Oh, and he went on and did The Gorillas. Pretty sure. Shake it, shake it. Weezer's self -titled album came out. I feel like Weezer just accidentally became famous. They don't love it. Buddy Holly, My Name is Jonas. Oh, wee -oo. Just like Buddy Holly. That song is 31 years old. Hell yeah.
That's crazy. It makes me sad. Crazy Sexy Cool by TLC. Waterfall. Can you do the rap? No. I know that I seen a rainbow yesterday. That's it. That's all I got. It's better than both of us. Leap the triangle. Not sexually. We don't do that. We're not those kind of sister wives. Do sister wives, do they have threesomes? I think it depends. I need to know this. I mean, there is a whole show on TLC about sister wives. Yeah, that's the only reason I know the term. Do you
watch it? No. I think I saw a clip one time and there was like a schedule. Just for one -on -one? Yeah. I think so. I don't think they share like that. You're telling me that they never have like threesomes or foursomes or whatever -somes? For the Lord? I'm sure that. Force him for the Lord. Sure, that depends on the... Four for Lord. Wendy's is not affiliated with it. I just, I have questions, but, like, I don't want to ask, because I feel like I'm going to be offensive.
I'm being offensive right now. You know, I don't want to do that. Yeah, considering I just said four for four. Yeah. Um, I actually want to look up the names. I know that the guy's name is Cody. Ugh. With his really terrible ramen hair, like loose ramen hair. But it's spelled funny. Of course it is. I don't know if it's like Dakota Cody or if it's... I don't know. And then I know that the one who he doesn't divorce is named Robin. She's got brown hair. She looks different
than the rest of them. Okay. So... Who's Cody? You're correct. Current wife, Robin. Yes. Um, Mary. M -E -R -I. Janelle. And Christine. The girl from Teen Mom? Janelle? Man, how the mighty have fallen. That's a weird crossover there. And they're 18 children. Ugh! One by Mary, six by Janelle, six by Christine, five by Robin. And although three were between Robin and her ex -husband, David. Oh. Yeah, I think you're raising more questions. Which isn't your fault.
I think it's, you know, you'd have to be really deep. And I don't think I'm ready to watch that whole show. I don't ever want to. All I know is from, like, clips I see on Instagram when my algorithm gets fucked up. That's all I know. Yeah. I don't know, man. Can we talk about how weird TLC is now, which is the learning channel? Yeah, learning about the weirdest shit of all time. I miss the good old days of, like, um... What was it? Move That Bus? Extreme Echo Remembrance
Edition was just on. Network TV. Was it? I thought it was like ABC. Which, there's a documentary about that recently. Apparently it was not a good show. No, I mean, well, because they couldn't afford the houses that they built. Yeah, the taxes and stuff. But also, I think last time we talked about that show, somebody commented on one of the posts we did and they were like, they would just throw these houses up and they would absolutely crumble some of them, because
they weren't being built. Wait, because they did it in a week! Yeah, like, they weren't being built thoroughly. On social medias of inspectors going in on these million -dollar houses, and it's just, like, trash. It's so bad. They're so bad. Well, I think that was the thing with the whole makeover show. Like, they... It was just that they threw them together, and they did really shitty craftsmanship, so... And they went wild. Like, oh, you're interested in basketball?
Your room's a basketball court! Yeah. It's like, you could just go to Claire's and get a couple of those picture frames. Oh, you like the ocean? You're in a fucking submarine tank. We're gonna put you in the submersible. And then you're in. It's like Pin My Ride. Well, did you think that you needed TVs in your headlights? What about the aquarium in the engine? Yeah, like... Grandma loved Pin My Truck. It was the one with, like, the big, like, 16 wheelers. Yeah. Yeah. Grandma
loved those. I don't know why. It was weird. We watched them together. Maybe she enjoyed it from her youth. From trucks? I don't know. Maybe she had lovely times with truckers. Which, no shade to your grandmother. Everybody has their thing. Their wild days. Anyways, 1994. I wanted to talk about one more thing. I looked up books that came out, and I didn't know very many, let's be real. But, one came out. Sagwa, the Chinese -Siamese cat. I remember that TV show! On PBS!
Oh, shit. Okay. I loved the show. But for a long time, I thought it was like... A fever dream. Oh, I remember it. Nobody I talked to. See, this is why we do the show together. Did you watch it, Mike? Vaguely remember it. Can't say that I watched it. It's a very blurry image in my head. I watched different shows on PBS. Like, that wasn't the main show that I watched. No, that was probably my main show. That was, like,
my favorite. Like, if it was on, I'd watch it, but I wouldn't seek it out like other shows. I sought it out. I loved it. I mean, Between the Lions, close second. There was also this show called The Navi Shop, I think. I don't think I watched that. This is one that no one, I've talked to a million people, no one else has watched this. The Navi Shop? These wooden toys come to life. It's kind of like Toy Story, but creepy
and fucked up. Hey, thanks for listening to 30 Dirty and Dying, the show for millennials by millennials. We get real about chronic illness, burnout, nostalgia, and why we aren't exactly thriving. If that sounds like you, join us every Thursday for new episodes. Now, back to the show. So, what do we want to start with first? You're literally supposed to do this. You're the MC. I'm talking to myself. Oh, okay. There are times where I'll say things and Mike's like, are you
talking to me or, like, yourself? When I'm in the car and I was like, yes, thank you. And you're like, were you talking to me or? Yeah. Were you talking to the car or were you talking to me? Were you talking to me? Like, I don't know. Were you texting? No. Okay. Okay, this is considered a. Male question. What shorthanded, flat, metal tool do you use to spread, shape, or smooth out plaster? I don't know what it's called. I call it a spatula. I don't know if I'm going to get
that right, though. I always called them scrapers. The correct term is a trowel. No one fucking cares. I thought a trowel was like what you use in a garden. Yeah, like a shovel, a garden shovel. Yeah, like a small one. Maybe it's not. Who knows? Maybe a gardening question will be in the female questions. Are you just making these up? Did you make these questions up? No, I found them. Okay. They're typed. They're typed. They're typed. And the... Fuck off. Okay. Female question. Who
was Barbie's sister? Kelly. No. Fucking yeah, huh? Her little sister? Skipper? That's correct. Skipper was her friend, I thought. That's what it says. Barbie has a sister? Yeah. Barbie also has a sister named Kelly, I'm sure of it. I also have a sister named Kelly, but that wasn't the question. I don't remember her in the Barbie movie. Checking this out right now. Checking it out right now. Well, we fact -checking in
the minute. Oh my god. If this is the case, then I'm not going to use these questions at all. Well, they could be wrong, Courtney. They could be wrong. Where did you find them? I googled. It was a PDF document. Battle of the Sexes game. Because you're just so angry, you can't finish typing. Yeah, I just put Barbie's little. Polly Pockets. It didn't say who is Barbie's little sister. It said who was Barbie's sister. Kelly Roberts is the younger sister of Barbie, Skipper,
and Stacy. Okay. I'll give you half a point, even though we're not. Thanks, Mike. Points are made up. Nothing matters. Whose line is it anyway? Mail question. Name the author of the novel on which the movie Patriot Games was based. Patriot Games is the movie or the book? Name the author of the novel on which the movie Patriot Games was based. This is odd. Something Webb. Tom Clancy. That is actually a very famous name. I should have known that. I would not know it. Female
question. What does Sandra Bullock do for a living in the film While You Were Sleeping? I don't fucking know. I don't know. Is she like a witch? Did you pick these because they're so obscure? They are oddly specific questions. Googled Battle of the Sexes game, found a PDF of a game that was already created, printed the questions out. Which I do believe we have a Battle of the Sexes game. Here are my answers. Nurse, teacher, owns a sandwich shop. Lawyer. She works in a subway.
Shop. No, in the subways. Like, not the sandwich shop. Like, in the train subways. Again, that's really not a... Like, it's a movie question,

I'm gonna have to let the cat out of the bag already because he's getting so upset. In the words of Kiki Palmer, the gag is, I don't know shit about
this. I've never seen it. I've never watched it. I don't like it. But we thought it would be funny if I made it seem like I really enjoyed it and then answered these questions incorrectly. So poorly. That's why I was shocked. The face of disappointment. That's what we were going for when we came up with this plan. And that reaction makes a lot of sense now. Yeah. Because it was supposed to be. I mean, I said Dorsak. Oh, no. Yeah. You didn't catch that? I just was
like, eh, I'm just gonna... She's new, it's fine. And that's what I was hoping to keep going for a while, but you got so mad about our little breaking character with Arwen. I don't know shit, but let's keep going. Okay. Maybe I will know something. Who's the sneaky creature trailing Sam and Frodo obsessed with Precious? Wait a minute. It's that guy that looks kind of like a tumor. Well... There's two answers here. Is one of them Bilbo? No. I don't know his name.
I don't know his name, but I know what he looks like. Gollum. Gollum. I do know his name. Or Smeagol is his other name. Ah, Smeags. Smeags. Small in stature, but big in heart. What's the race of Frodo and Bilbo Baggins? Those are hobbits, dude. Man, am I coming away with a game? Maybe I do know some stuff. I did have a boyfriend once who was very obsessed with Lord of the Rings. I thought I was ignoring him. Maybe my ass was
listening the whole time. Alright, before claiming the throne, Aragorn was part of which heroic race? I don't know it. It's a very specific human -like race where he lives much longer. Cyborgs. Yes, he's a cyborg. So the answer is men. But men can also be cyborgs. So you got it right! Like all the cyborgs? All right. Well, Mike looks this up because he wants the correct answer and not the answer from the Google that I Googled.
After Bilbo wraps up his adventurous hobbit days, how many years later do Frodo's epic quest in Lord of the Rings begin? So from the time that Bilbo was done adventuring to the time... That Frodo. Reread the question. From the time that Bilbo wraps up his adventure, how many years later... Do Frodo's epic quests in Lord of the Rings begin? So there's 17 years in between Bilbo's birthday and when Frodo leaves the Shire. How long between when Bilbo's adventure and Frodo's
adventure, I don't know. Also, you said 17 years. Why does it say 60? That's why I was trying to get you to be more specific. Because I said by the time that Bilbo's birthday celebration is done. Oh. Until the time that he leaves. It's just a 60. How many days did the Lord of the Rings crew spend filming the epic adventures of Middle -earth? Oh, it was like two or three years straight. Like, they were... It's in days. Uh, well, God made the Earth in seven days. The
heavens and the Earth. Well, he actually made it in six days and rested on the seventh day. Yeah, but so we count the rest day because we believe in workers' rights. So... I'd say like five -something. Fourteen. Fourteen days. Fourteen days. To make the entire trilogy. That's like... 30 hours long. Okay, no. It's only like 14 hours long. That's what I'm going with. It's 438. So Mike was close with 500. Aw, damn. I really thought
I had that one in the bag. Bilbo is celebrating his 111th birthday at the start of the Fellowship of the Ring. How old is he then? That was so stupid. I didn't read these questions before I... Yeah, we know. I think we've mentioned you didn't do your homework for this multiple times. So the word I was looking for is... Dundane. Yep. Also known as men. D -U -N -E. Crocodile Dundee? D -A -I -N. I'm gonna take that. Men
of the West. Alright, where did the Lord of the Rings trilogy find its breathtaking landscape? New Zealand! Correct. Wreck. I know. On the bucket list. They still have the Shire there. They do. Name the axe -wielding dwarf whose beard is almost as legendary as his loyalty in the Fellowship. Dobby. All you have to do is give him a call. Dobby's a flea elf. Flea elf? Flea elf. He does not speak that way. Are you sure? Because I'm pretty sure. I'm so sure. Are you sure? I'm very
sure. He doesn't say his R's. Flea elf. He's a flea elf. That's Gimli. Son of a loin. Yes. Gimli's got a big family, got big family ties. He's the son of which noble dwarf from the Lord of the Rings? I just said that. Sleepy. I just said that. When? Right now. You asked me for the answer. I said Gimli, son of Gloin. Oh. You were saying son? I just thought you were just... Son of Gloin. Son of a girl. No, son of Gloin. Okay, well, Gloin got him. Who's also in the
Hobbit trilogy. I went to see a Hobbit movie. There was a dragon. There was death a dragon. I think he makes an appearance in all of them. Smog. Might not be the first one. I don't remember the dragon's name. Smog. Smog. Okay, well, Smog was there. So was I. Which actor, sporting an epic beard and hearty laugh, brought the fierce dwarf Gimli to life? I'm going to let you answer first. Liam Neeson. Correct. I don't know. You've taken the precious ring. I have a very specific
set of skills. I will find you. I will kill you. John Ray Davies. Rise Davies. Pretty sure it's Rise. Wen Theoden? rallies his warriors, where does he send them to defend against the dark forces? The Soviet Union. It's Minas Tirith, but it's a specific battle. It says Helm's Deep. That's the first one. So that's kind of a trick question. Alright, who breaks the heartbreaking news to Frodo that Boromir has met his doom? I can't think of his name right now. Bozo. Ah,
yes. Go, go. Faramir. Faramir. Fuck! Faramir, Faramir. Frodo got a nasty stab. What's the name of that creepy pointy blade? A knife? I mean... It's a dark blade. I forget exactly what they call it. Nasty stab. That's all I got. It's Morgul blade? Mm -hmm. Which noble hero is also known by the cool nickname Strider? Aragorn. Why does it say Aragorn? Aragorn, Aragorn, it's all the same. Who kicked off the Fellowship of the Ring party by clutching the one ring like it was a
rare Pokemon card? Frodo. Bilbo. Why did they word the question like that? I don't know. It was Jigglypuff. One ring to rule them all. Be the one ring. In what country was J .R .R. Tolkien born? England? That would be my guess. No. South Africa. Oh, goddammit. He blessed the rings down in South Africa. In Lord of the Rings, who is the sly figure known as Sharky? Sharkboy and Lavagirl. Correct. Thank you. As Sharky? Yeah.
Am I right? I don't know if Sharkboy - Did you hear about Taylor Lautner's new show that he's - Making a werewolf show? Yes! Sucks to suck. Taylor Lautner Were - No, Werewolf Hunter, or something like that. Missed opportunity to call it Where Are the Werewolves. Taylor Lautner, where the hell have you been, loca? How could they not have called it that? An elven hero joins Strider and the Hobbits from Weathertop to Rivendell. Who is the mystical ally? Is it Legolas Greenleaf?
It is not Legolas. Oh, damn. We already said their name. Now I know the difference. In the movie, it's Arwen. In the book, it's somebody else. Glorfindel. Why'd they change it? Because I think that's really the only scene he's in. Alright, Samwise the Brave found his heart's treasure. Who does he marry? Evangeline Lilly. I think it's his real wife. I think that's... His kid's makeup. I know. It's the name of the... The character. Correct. Not the actual... I know.
No. Think of a flower. I already said Evangeline Lilly. I mean, yeah, you were correct. Not that flower. Rose Dawson. Titanic. Is it Rose? It's Rosie. Rosie Cotton. What a horrific name. Ewan's name is like a merry ride. What does it mean? Something to do with horses. Correct. Because she is from Rohan. Horse joy. Okay. You want to drop some facts? I can. Go ahead. Spit some rhymes. So Christopher Lee, who played Sarawan, gets stabbed in the second movie as a bonus scene.
And Peter Jackson, the director, was like, hey, you have to scream. And he's like, uh -uh -uh. That's not how that works. Because he was in World War II. So he knows.
