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,
not a sex question. I think it's because Sandra
Bullock is in... chick flicks and i imagine this
is a chick flick i've never seen this all right

numbered from one to ten do you know i'll give

Confusing reality with some of those books you've
been reading. Well, I don't read baseball books.
It's only football or hockey. Or rugby. We haven't
got to baseball season yet. I read rugby once,
and that was pretty nice. Just saying, we haven't

now. I did want to spelling bee once. Ironically,
I lost on the word bracelet. Nice. Full circle
moment. And you did a great job. Thanks. You're
welcome. Take that. All right. You're going to
have to give Clarissa a chance before you answer
this. That's fine. How many players make up a
team in a game of ice hockey on the ice? Okay,
so can I unpack this question? make up a team,
or how many players are on the ice at a given
time? And I don't know the answer to either of
those questions, unless it's this answer right
here. I have a question you'll know the answer
to. Why the fuck do I have to take a shot at
this? I don't know shit about hockey. Just guess
a number of what you think, how many players
are on the ice. Eleven. It's six per team. That
is the answer, six. What was the other question
that you asked? How many people are on a team,
like... On the ice at once? No, no, no. Because

year for both of you. 1994? Correct! What's that
lot for? These are just so obscure. Yeah, duh.
And that's what's so fun. This is an important
date. Nope, year for both of you. When did the
construction of the Great Wall of China begin?
A fuckton ago. That's exactly what they have
here. A fuckton ago. I'll take three extra points
for that creativity. Like hundreds. Yeah, it's
a lot. Hundreds. 7th century BC. Okay. Thank
you. Who sent Christopher Columbus to explore
the New World? Spain. But who? The king of Spain.
Isabel. No, it's not. King Ferdinand. No, listen.
It was the queen, Isabel. Is that the queen's
name? Yeah. That was her name. Isabel Castile,
I think. That was his lady, and she was in charge.
Okay? Okay. I'm just telling you right now. That
question is wrong. I'm just going to start saying
every question is wrong. Where did Albert Einstein
live before moving to the United States? Germany,
right? No, I think he was Austrian. Germany.
He lived in Germany. Who is commonly referred
to as the person who created the first printing
press? That one dude. Yeah, the one dude. Yeah.
What's his name? You're going to say it and I'm
going to be really mad. Start with. Pretty sure
it's an M. The first or last name. M in there,
right? G. Gutenberg? Correct. During which war
was a Christmas truce called? We talked about
this. World War I. Correct. You're giving me
this question. How old was Queen Elizabeth II
when she was crowned? 23. Close. 28. Down. 25.
27. Ah. So not close, guys. This will be my last
history question before I get you to the... Lord
of the Rings. One ring to rule us all. What was
the codename for the German invasion of the Soviet
Union during World War II? Everything in me wants
to say kids next door. Codename's next door.
But I know that that's a good one. That was just
my replay. Could you read the question again?
I'm sorry. I suck. What operation was it? What
was the codename for the German invasion of the
Soviet Union during World War II? No idea. Operation
Barbarossa. So when you say Lord of the Rings,
is this movie -based questions, lore -based questions,
or book -based questions? I have six pages of
questions. Okay. We're not going to get to all
of them, so what are you prioritizing here? Chaos.
Love it. I guess we're going to find out. In
The Fellowship's Adventure, which member waved
goodbye first? Oh, Lord Schnack. Pippin. No.
Wow, you're a fan of Lord of the Rings. Wait,
Orlando Bloom? Legolas? Yes. Gandalf. Oh. I said
Glorsnak. That's gotta be... Again, that made
no reference of book movie lore. Liv Tyler graced
Lord of the Rings with her elven elegance. What's
the name of her enchanting character? Arwen.
Oh, shit. Look at you. So she gets the credit
and I just sit over here? We're literally not
keeping score, Mike. I'm gonna have to... 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. I hope you guys have
enjoyed this episode of Marital Bliss, also known
as 30 Dirty and Dying, featuring Mike, Courtney's
husband. This has been Chaotic Trivia Variety
Show, and I think it was a fun time. I'm glad
Mike came to join us for this one. And it looks
like we might have him in again to give us, not
trivia, but questions about sports. Sports. That's
still trivia. Why did you clarify that? That
was so fucking weird. Not trivia. Not trivia,
but question. Could never be trivia. No shit.
Oh. Alrighty then. Yeah, thanks for listening.
Really sorry about this episode. Sorry, not sorry.
