Get right to the trivia at 7:19

Nick takes the host chair for Origins Trivia, where every answer starts somewhere... but figuring out where is another story.

Before the trivia, the guys relive their crew outing to a Cardinals game ⚾. The Redbirds got the win, but nobody had more fun than Brian... including the Cardinals. 😂 Then listener Jennifer poses a Question of the Week that gets surprisingly creative:

If all laws disappeared for one hour, which one would you break... and why? 😈 It takes a minute for the ideas to get flowing, but once they do, the answers are exactly the kind of chaos you'd expect from this bunch.

Then Nick serves up a straight 10-point game—no bonus points, no gimmicks, no safety net. Just ten questions, one point each, and nowhere to hide.

Can you keep pace with The Crew? Let us know how many you got right! 🏆

Five friends. Ten questions. Infinite banter.

I'm taking the hour of April 15th when I file my taxes. Is there a victimless crime? That's that's that's pretty victimless, yeah. He's not really stealing from anybody. I don't want to murder anybody. I don't really want to steal. I mean. I mean, I would love to have money that I didn't earn, but I don't want to take it from from someone, right? Take it from a financial a bank. That's a good place. Is what I mean that's why I'm asking. It's a made up system anyway. Here we go. Here we go. Here we Uh so I got mine uh trespassing. Oh. I mean, how many times have you been somewhere in your life you're like, well that's really cool. The brilliant. And but you can't go in. That's a solid. He's going like roll into the the Colosseum.

That's pretty cool. I mean I can't top that. That I didn't think of it and I hate that I didn't think of it, but that is absolutely a victimless crime that. And I'm thinking of the movie where they go in like the library where it's like It's like climate control, the oxygen's less and all that kind of thing. That would be pretty cool. Some of the documents that are in there.. Kelly, do we hear from you yet? Tax evasion. Tax, yeah. Just money. Money. Yeah, more money and get to go where we want. Yeah.

Hope I know them. Oh good. Yes, non-fiction. Okay. Non-fiction. Yeah, these These are all real people, places or things. Got you. Okay. Yes. It's pretty wide open. I don't know if I can handle on a prediction then. It is. It is. Uh I don't I want to say I think you should did fairly well because I did put some a little bit of clues into the questions because maybe people just don't know this stuff, but I found it interesting. Okay. What's the uh point situation? I think it's a straight 10 if I recall. Oh, back going old school. I dig it. Yeah, I think it's a straight 10 if I recall. . Okay, are we ready then? Yeah, hit it. Here we go. It's time for the main event. Our 10 question trivia game on Origin Stories and Nicholas will be our host. Here's how it works. Nick will read the questions. The other four of us will write our answers on our whiteboards and when he says reveal, we have to show our answers. He's got a trigger, man. This episode is going to be like minutes long. If we get our answer correct, who's given us the point? Uh, I will. Okay, Ray, and if we get it wrong, well, that's when the real fun begins. So let's see who ends up on top today. We do we have a cheers beers this week, Pro? We do. Oh, good. Okay, thank you. Oh Oh who who do we have? Tonight's cheers donation is from Jimmy Lang. Oh, Jimmy. Thanks Jimmy. Yes. Here here James. Nice job, Jimmy. Thank you very much. Cheers to you, sir. If you'd like to uh, you know, hook it up and get your name called on air. We got it right there in the top of the show notes. donate around to the crew. crew. Okay, Nicholas, your turn, brother. All right, here we go. So, origin stories. Like I said, it's I'm going to just read the question. There wasn't a good synopsis for this. So, let's just jump into it. All right, here we go. Question number one. All right. Today, Samsung is a global Titan in smartphones and semiconductors. founded in 1938, what three humble food items did the the original Samsung Sangho primary primarily export to China. So, three items. I'll tell you what, write down three items. I'll give you a point for anyone that you get right. And I'll be a little bit flexible with this. So we get three answer slots. I'll give you three answer slots and I'll give you a point for each one. That is correct. Okay. Makes sense? So we're talking about Samsung. Back in the back in its origin times. Where where are they out of? Do we know where they're from? Korea. Korea. They're Korean. Okay, that helps. Thank you. They're founded in 1938. They exported food items to China. Three specific ones. I'm going to let you list three. For each one that is accurate or correct, I'll give you a point. Okay. Does everybody have answers? I'm working on it here. I got one more to go. Scotty's still working. All right. Brian's good, Kelly's good. I'm done. I'm ready. All right. So we're looking for three food items that Samsung exported to China back in the old days. Scotty's erasing now. All right. I'll keep feeling dead air then. All right, let's go ahead and reveal. Andy has rice, fish and seaweed. Brian has rice, noodles and soy beans. that's good. Rice, spices and flour from Kelly and rice, alcohol and tea. We have some rice some we have some correct answers I believe. So, we have dried fish, noodles, and I'm just going to blanket, if it falls under this, produce. So, produce. Anything veggie or fruit, I'll even say. So. Seaweed is right on the edge of that. I'm not going to take it. Okay. I don't think that's. I'll give you fish though. I got fish, yeah. I had noodles. So, noodles, fish and if it something that would fall under produce. I'll give it to you. So Andy gets a point. So. Brian gets the point. Brian gets the point and I don't think I do. That's not that's not. No, I can't give you that one. Spices, flour, nothing. No, no. I would say no. So Andy and Brian got a point on. They each got one. Nice. Good job, B. All right. Good job, guys. Right back. Yeah. A question to being I guess when I wrote it, it felt different at the time. Yeah. Well, Samsung literally translates to three stars. All right. Uh I get it literally me that's what it literally translates to powerful and everlasting like stars in the sky. Yeah. Yeah. Poetic. They bought directly from local Korean producers, uh produce yeah, producers. They milled their own flour, pressed their own noodles and they managed uh the cross-border trade routes with China. So, that's called vertical alignment. Yes. That's significantly different than what they do today. A little bit different. Definitely. All right. Question number two. Before he was the leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis worked a series of odd jobs in his native Argentina to pay for his studies. So what job did Pope Francis hold at a local bar in Flores in the Flores neighborhood of Buenos Ares in the early 1950s. So, the Pope worked at a bar back in the old days. What do you think he did there? It kind of narrows it down. Yeah. Cuz not many people probably know what the Pope did before he was the Pope. . And there's only so many jobs out of bar. Well, that's it. If you go with the obvious choice. Yeah, you could, yeah. Yeah. I don't like questions that usually, you know, pigeon hold like the amount of the options you have. But these are some tougher things because yeah, I don't know what before doing this, I had no idea what Pope Francis did before he was the Pope? I have to I had to confess something. Is this the current Pope? No. Okay. No, no. I thought the current Pope was from Chicago. No. This is back he did this back in the 50s. Uh he actually I don't know. Is he the current Pope? I honestly don't know. No, he's not. It was prior prior to before this one. Okay, thank you. All right before. So we're looking for what Pope Francis did when he worked at a bar back in uh the 50s and Waynos. Let's reveal. Andy has bartender, barback from Brian, bartender from Kelly, bookkeeper from Scotty. All All fantastic answers, but none of them are correct. Pope was a bouncer boys. I thought about saying bouncer. Nice. Wow. Love it. He was throwing bows. Well, not if he was doing his job right. He's like the power of Christ compels you and just shoving dudes out the door. Checking IDs and throwing people out the back. Oh my god. What what country is this in? Uh, Argentina. Okay. This is Argentina. That's right. Oh yeah, with a foot in the chest. That's fabulous. Yeah, I had no idea when I was looking some of this stuff up. That's awesome. Yeah. He also only had one functioning lung. That right. Probably from getting into a fight. That could have been. You might have got shank. You just got to wait him out. 30 seconds. Yeah. Wait him out. Yeah. Yeah. All right, I don't have a lot on I mean, there was a ton because he's a pope, but I didn't find any of it all that interesting, so I didn't have a lot of flavor text for him. Yeah, one punching lung. That's enough. He did get a diploma as a chemical technician. I thought that was kind of interesting. Okay. Yeah. Scott anything interesting on Pope? No, got nothing on that. I didn't think he did. Moving on. Question number three. This hygiene product was originally marketed as a surgical antiseptic and even a floor cleaner. It didn't become a massive success until the 1920s when it was marketed as a cure fortosis. What's the name of this product? Oh, okay. Yeah. U. Originally It was a surgical antiseptic. Even a floor cleaner. Yeah. Then in the 1920s, they started to market it as a cure fortosis. like Are you looking for a name brand? Yes. Oh. Looking for a name brand. Not a type of or anything like that. The actual name brand. Good question, Scott. Good question. Yeah, so we're looking for a product that used to be a surgical antiseptic and a floor cleaner. And then in the 1920s it became a cure fortosis. I like that. Yeah, everybody have an answer? Second layer of trivia to that. . Yes. Everybody does have an answer. Let's reveal. I'll start with you Scott. We have Listerine from Scott, and from Kelly, Armond Hammer from Brian and Listerine from Andy. Listerine is the correct answer. Awesome. The Hasis I figured was a pretty good. Yeah, that's a great yeah. Yeah. I thought that was too obvious. You know what I mean? I almost went scope, but that sounds medical. Yeah. I agree. I agree. Yeah, I figured like if I don't put that little tidbit in there, you have no idea. Definitely. It could be anything. It I I you put windex. I cleaner to mouth wash, so it's pretty wild. Yeah. Yeah, that's true. I mean it does scorch the inside of your mouth. So. I think it's terrible for you. I think it's really bad. They they had a whole and campaign on whether or not you can keep it in your mouth for up to 15 seconds or something like like that. That's yeah. That's when you're doing it wrong. No, they did like a whole ad campaign. Yeah. What did you say? It'll wake you up in the morning. Oh, for sure. It burns your mouth out. Like they did a whole ad campaign. it it cured dandruff, insect bites, the common cold. It was uh even it was even preventative treatment for Gria. In your mouth? Can you get Gria mouth? Is that a thing? You get dandruff in your mouth? Oh. I don't know. Anybody back checking this guy by the way? Yes, I send all my shows to to to make sure. Yes. I know you too. It's real. It's real. But yeah, like in bad breath wasn't even a big deal back in those days. like they kind of created like that bad breath was was a problem. So they they they created their own market. People didn't complain that. No, I figured back back in the old days everybody stink. Everything stink all the time. We've talked about this. If you went back in time like to the 1800s, everything probably just smell. No air conditioning. Body odor at all-time high. They don't have indoor plumbing. It probably was terrible. So they said, hey, let's let's throw some floor cleaner in people's mouths and they like make a profit off of it. Hey, man, gold. All right, moving on. Question number four. Before she started her catering business in 1976, What highly high intensity male dominated profession profession did Martha Stewart hold with the firm Mos, Williams and. deep thinking. Yeah. So, before she started her catering business in 1976, What high intensity male dominated profession did Martha Stewart hold but the firm Mos, I guess that's how you pronounce it. Mos, Williams and Sidell. Okay. Can I get the year again just the year? 1976. Yeah, so before 1976 though. Yeah. That's when she started her catering business. So what did she do before that? I started writing Martha Stewart down as the answer. Dang it. I like throwing load curve balls at you there, Kelly. So yeah, we're looking for what she did before she started her catering business. Everybody does have something running down, yes? Yep. All right, let's reveal. I'm going to start with Brian. We have Day trader, stock broker, CEO from Kelly, lawyer from uh Scotty. The answer is stock broker. Boom baby. Day trader work? Love that. I thought about should I put stock broker like I I but I I don't even know how I'm I'm going to go with it. Yeah. I I I feel. I say so. Yeah. I mean a day trader is trading stocks, right? Definitely. Yeah. They're broke if you would. No, I I did not know this officially, but given the fact that that's what she went to jail for. That's what I was thinking of too. She went to jail for the inside trading and all that, right? Yes. lawyer definitely came to mind with the name of the company, but the high intensity male dominant part. sold it for me. So, in a it's a classic pivot. She went from the high stress, male dominated world of the 60s finance to becoming the face of domestic arts. Best friends with Snoop. And now she kicks with Snoop dog. Exactly. Yeah. It's a natural progression. Yeah. Yeah. Obviously. Yeah. Her first boss actually noted that she only left because of the 1973-74 stock market crash. So, that wore her down. She gave it up, went to food. That was that, huh? Yeah, changed a lot of things, you know, that that move course her life of course. Yeah. Everybody knows who Martha Stewart is. A lot of people's lives. That's true. Yeah. And she stays there, we may never heard of her. Wow. know. She would have gone to jail for insider trading or something like that and nobody would even know would have cared. Right. If you think about it. Oh boy. All right, let's move on. We'll go to question five and then we'll do uh we'll break for our sponsors and do a score check. Cool. Question five. In 1859, a chemist named Robert Che or Broth, however you want to say it, discovered a wonder jelly by watching oil workers smear a byproduct of drilling onto their skin to heal cut. cut. Though the workers called it Rod wax, great name by the way, under what famous brand name did he market it? All right. So 1859 I'll I'll get the key elements here. 1859, Wonder Jelly, oil workers, put it on their skin to heal cuts. They called it rod wax. Great name. So we're looking for the brand name of this item. All right. Brian's still thinking chewing on it. No, I got I'm thinking about change. Yeah, I got I got two answers. but I'm going with I can only take one those. I know, I know. And it is there yeah. The answer is a brand name. I'm leaving it. You're leaving it? Yeah. You feel good? . No, you don't look good. Your face says your face your face says everything. You look hot. I am so hot. Brian, everybody good? I changed. Yeah, I'm good. All right, let's reveal. I'll start with Scott. We have Vaseline from Scotty, from Kelly, from Brian, and from Andy. Vaseline is the correct answer. Everybody knows they're rod wax. spelled wrong, I guess. Yeah, you definitely spelled it wrong. Yeah. Would you throw an O in there in the middle. Is that a number in there? There's a it's like a symbol. D a s o l i n e. Is that a Z? I think it's a symbol for Prince. That's funny. So to prove that Vaseline worked, uh Chebra traveled around New York State in a horse drawn wagon, he would burn his skin. Yeah. Yeah, he So he's a snake oil. Self inflicted. Right. He would burn his own skin or he would cut himself with a knife in front of the crowd, then applied the jelly to his wound. He would then return a few days later to show the crowd how quickly the the wound healed. Oh man. I mean we got to a psychopath. I mean that Hey, you trust you got to trust your product. That's a marketing campaign. hell out of some bad. I mean. First I was worried about that lava soap. I don't know if you ever heard of that. Oh, my dad used that when I was a kid. Oh yeah. Oh, it just take your skin off. Yeah, but it get everything out. It's got some grit to it. Yeah. stuff is amazing. everything off though. Yeah, I love it. Yeah, for sure. So Vaseline's a brand name. Right. It is. Petroleum jelly. Petroleum jelly would be the generic. Yeah. So was he an actual Vaseline salesperson or was he doing? Did he start Vaseline. He started Vaseline. That was the name he gave the product. Okay. So he invented this product. Yes. Okay. Got you. Yeah, he also said that eating a spoonful of Vaseline every morning was a secret to a long life. Eating what? I'm sorry. He said eating a spoonful of Vaseline. Sounds like it might make you regular. Every morning was the secret to a long life. and keep you clean. Yeah. Uh he ordered a a like when he was on his death bed, ordered a nurse to cover him from head to toe with the jelly. And then he died at 34. He lived to be 96. Holy. Hey, he might have been on something. And he attributes his laundry longevity to a daily dose of petroleum jelly. Right down the goal, huh? Yeah. Take a spoonful of that Vaseline. That's hilarious. There's also like a 100 year old year old lady who contributes her longevity to drinking a Dr. Pepper at age. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, I saw that. Oh yeah, you never know. It's a lot of genetics. Yeah. Well, that's five. Let's hear from our sponsors and we'll come back for a score check. Score check. You said score check, huh? I guess I got the scores. Uh coming from last to first. We have Scott and my uh yeah, Scott and myself with two. Uh Brian has three and Andy's 80% with four out of five. Look at that. How about that? Solid. Yeah. And he's wearing a scarf for some reason. Arsenal won the top title. Have we not been paying attention? We have been. I have. No. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you very much. didn't care. It was a struggle. We fought hard. It was uh I'm pretty worn out from the season as a matter of fact, you're lucky I'm here. You look that way. You. You look terrible. I. So yeah, four out of five. Is it you didn't know any of this. This is strictly based off of high road to questions, correct? Obviously, it's all right. Okay, I didn't know if you actually knew any of this. Completely. Well, no, I'm curious. it's actually curiosity. I can't say that I took a while. Hey, you're going to tear your labor from for trying to pat yourself on the back. I'm not. That is not the case. I I'm kind of curious if he actually knew any of this. Uh I can't say that You could have left facts out and I still would have known the answer. So the writing absolutely got me to the right answer. Just curious. Just curious. Not pat myself on the back. For sure. All right. Let's go ahead. get to question number six. While she was still a 9-year-old student at Tennessee State University, this future Media Mogul made history as the first African American woman to be a news anchor in Nashville. Who is she? Oh. She was 19 at Tennessee State University. Future Media Mogul, she made history by being the first African-American woman to be a news anchor in Nashville. Who is she? Got two names going with the bigger one. Yeah, okay. Two names. Scott, are you good? Feel pretty good about it. All right. Brian and Kelly are still writing. So, we're looking for, yeah, the first African-American woman to be a news anchor in Nashville. Brian's going back from more. drawn pictures now, I think. If he draws an actual actual picture of her, will you accept it, Nick? Possibly. Okay. If it if it resembles that person. If it resembles at all, I may do that. Yeah. Not a clue. Did everybody have an answer? Yes, sir. Yeah. All right, let's go ahead and reveal. Andy has Oprah, so does Brian, so does Kelly and so does Scotty. You guys are all correct. It was Oprah. I didn't All right, all right. That's a good. I didn't know she was a news desk. I didn't know she was a new but I figured. So I was going to go Robin Roberts actually, but I figured she was a little too niche to showing off. Maybe no. No. No, even after I I knew know after even after Tennessee State like she was I don't know, channel 4 or whatever, she was a news anchor for a period of time. That's how she got her show is or became recognized is through being a news person. Yes. That's where it all started for her, yeah. She I mean she got her first break uh because of of a beauty pageant. Uh 1971, she won the Miss Fire Prevention contest in Nashville. I mean, that's an that's an accolade. Man, now I got something to talk to her about. on a resume. Look under your chair. Has to be. accomplishments, yeah. Oh, hold on a second. That's funny. So yeah, so when she went she went to go pick up her prize and the station manager The stage manager was so impressed by her voice uh that they asked her to read some news copy on the spot. They hired her and uh technically she was at 17 years old. She read news part time after school. Wow. That's pretty impressive. That is cool. that comment. She was she was destined. She was destined. I'm not a I'm not an Oprah guy. I've never had. I don't think I've ever seen an episode or anything. I've seen an episode back in the day. Yeah. Like I don't recall ever watching her show. I mean, I I've heard of things or I've seen clips of it, you know, look under you know, you get a car. jumping them down on the couch. Yeah, that that one. but I've never I don't think I've ever watched it live. So bizarre. But I I agree with you to the point where there would be episodes that were more lighthearted and somewhere she'd have some real hard hitting interviews and even the hard hitting hard hitting interviews. I never found her to be all that engaging as an interviewer. I agree. I don't know why she is so popular. That that has never she Yeah. I've never understood it. At some point she brought on the Dr. Oz and doing all the isn't that how he got his start, right? Like I think so. Dr. Phil. Dr. Phil too. I think a couple guys, right? you know. Yep.

That type of thing, yeah. Right. Yeah. They they stopped doing it because gambling, the the Yakuza and stuff like that. That's why they got away from the playing cards. Sure. Yeah. The cards uh had to be handmade from the bark of Mulberry trees. And Nintendo actually had to expand its offices just to keep up with the demand from high stakes backrooms.
