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

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,

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

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.
