Hey, everybody. Welcome to the stuff I never knew, trivia, game show,

channel. I've got three great guests, Bob, Tyler and
Izzy. 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. All right, as you know, on
this show, we go right into it. And in round one tonight, I wrote
a game that I can't pronounce and I'm going to stumble over this title about
eight times. Tonight, we're going to play was it invented by an
Albanian or an Alabamian? So, I'm going to read you
an invention. You got to tell me which one is it
albanian or Alabamian? We'll start with Bob.
We'll go in the order that everybody showed up tonight. Bob,

Alabamian or an Alabamian? Albanian. I'm
going to say an Alabamian.
Alabamium is
correct by Mary Anderson in
1903. Over to Tyler,

each. Back to Bob, the van de graph generator,
better known as the device that makes your hair stand up.
Albanian. Albanian is
incorrect. That's an Alabamian.
Darn. Over to Tyler.
Discovered nitric oxide's role in relaxing
blood vessels. That has to be
albanian. It has to be albanian, because
it is Albania. Albania.
Over to Izzy, pioneered the R
D methods for utilizing ethanol as an
alternative engine fuel.
I'm going to say Alabamian.
Alabamian is

And the last one for each of you in this round.
Back to Bob, the portable electric

scoreboard. We have Bob with one,
Tyler and izzy tied with two. Bob, you get a little bonus going into the
second round because you have a different score. You get to pick
the order. Do you want to keep it the same or change it up?
Oh, boy. Do you have any music for me here?
TikTok music? No, I guess.
Let's start with Tyler. Tyler's going first. All right, we're
going to round two. And my favorite part of the show where we get to
meet my guest tonight, Tyler. Welcome to the
show. Hey, thanks for having me. Where are you calling in
from? Calling in from Pearl River, New York, where it's cold
as well. It's just cold. The word I want to say, I can't say.
Yeah, I could believe it. It's cold here in Pennsylvania, but I can imagine it's
a little bit worse than New York. Tell us a little about what you do
in New York and how can people connect with you. Currently I'm
working at Home Depot just to pay the bills and get a roof over my
head, if barely. But while I'm doing that, I work
as the host for Geek talk with Tyler. I'm also taking
voiceover lessons and I am also currently
working on the audio series the Undadable X Men
and some other projects I can't speak of right now, but
trust me, they are worth looking into in the foreseeable
future. Well, if people want to connect with you and follow along in your
journey of creating these, how can they stay in contact?
I am currently on Facebook, Instagram, and if you have it,
LinkedIn. All right, we'll put all those links in the show
notes. Tyler, are you
ready for the hot seat? Ready when you are. Here we
go. In this round, we're going to play liquid connections and a new year
name five for the new year, 2024. A liquid connections
are four questions that all have something tied
together with liquid. The answer might not be a liquid,
but they will all connect to be something that is a
liquid. And then your new year name five. I'll give you a very
basic category about the new year, something you'll do in the new year. And you
have to give me five things that fit into that category.
Tyler, I think I get what you're saying. What's
that? I think I get it. You'll get it as soon
as you go through it. All right, here we go. Your first question, what type
of creature might be hiding under a kid's
bed? A boogeyman

and Grand Theft Auto?
Weird. Three second rule. Just shows up every once in a while.

remember, we got monster and Rockstar so far. Let's
go to our third question. Which marvel
alien symbiote attaches itself to Tom
Hardy? The
movie was Venom. Venom is
correct. Correct. And which
device helps a guitar produce sounds through a

have 30 points coming your way in this final
round. This round is a video round,
and I'm going to start to read you a series of clues. Now, at any
point, you can buz in. I've asked each of my guests to bring their own
buzzers. We'll test those in just a second. But if you buz in on the
first clue and you get it right, that's worth three points. Your
second clue is worth two points, and your last clue is worth one point. If
you're right, you're going to earn that point value, and we'll add that to your
total. But if you're wrong, we'll subtract those
points from your total. So you want to be fast, but you want to be
accurate. So let's go around and test each of my guest buzzers so
people listening at home knows who's buzing in. Bob, let's hear
