Tippi Hedren sold her Hitchcock-gifted fur coat to fund a movie that injured 72 people.

This episode of Triviality features hosts Ken, Matt, and Jeff, joined by guests Mike from Pittsburgh and Mel, a paramedic from Australia, with Taylor Cook hosting a pub-style trivia game. The episode begins with the hosts explaining Neil's absence, as he is reportedly engaged in gonzo journalism within a Santa-themed underworld. The game consists of two rounds of eclectic trivia questions submitted by the host and friends. The first question asks about the 1981 big cat film *Roar*, starring Tippi Hedren and Noel Marshall, which injured over 70 people. A subsequent question involves a 2008 Ortega taco sauce commercial featuring Olympic gymnasts, including Shawn Johnson and the Hamm twins. The third question identifies Mike Bossy as the NHL player with the third-most career hat tricks. Another question asks for the longest word in the Oxford English Dictionary, *pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis*, featured in a *Rocket Power* episode. A biology question reveals the barnacle has the largest penis-to-body size ratio. The medical acronym MRSA is identified as standing for Methicillin-resistant *Staphylococcus aureus*. The music question notes that Elton John's "Candle in the Wind" (1997) was the first song to reach number one in over 35 countries. A film question about *A Knight's Tale* asks for Chaucer's other work, *The Book of the Duchess*. The band Khruangbin is identified from a description of their "ethereal Texas psychedelic surf rock" sound. The round concludes with the South Park episode "It Hits the Fan," which used the word "shit" 162 times. The second round includes a sports question about Pittsburgh Steelers running back Willie Parker's 75-yard Super Bowl touchdown run. A "Risk It for the Biscuit" daily double asks about the prolific band King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard, who have released 27 albums. A final video game question confirms the first Pokémon games released in Japan were *Pokémon Red* and *Green*. The hosts share obscure facts, like Tippi Hedren funding *Roar* by selling a fur coat from Alfred Hitchcock. They express surprise at the barnacle's anatomical record and the minimal controversy around South Park's profanity record. The episode maintains a lighthearted and conversational tone, filled with friendly banter and humorous asides between questions. The hosts and guests collaborate as a team, often laughing at wrong answers and celebrating correct ones. Listeners who enjoy eclectic, pop-culture-heavy trivia in a casual, collaborative setting will appreciate this episode. Those seeking highly competitive, rule-strict trivia or a single-topic deep dive might find the format too scattered.
