S18 E6 - Hallie and Justin Get (Birth) Stoned - Part 1

This week, Hallie steals one of Justin’s worst ideas by committing to a two-part, 12-question episode. Each question features one of the 12 traditional birthstones, and we also mine for information about international business, basketball, and 90s music!
2:36: Q1 (Sports & Games): What power forward who played with the Minnesota Timberwolves for 12 years and coincidentally played himself in the film Uncut Gems, shares his name with the birthstone for January?
8:04: Q2 (Times & Places): Amethyst, February’s birthstone, was originally thought to be one of the most precious until large deposits were found in what South American country, the world’s largest producer of sugarcane, soy, coffee, and oranges?
17:49: Q3 (Movies & TV): March’s birthstone, bloodstone, is also the name of a 1988 film starring Rajinikanth, who also starred in various films in what industry, also known as Bombay cinema?
26:41: Q4 (Everything Else): What international cartel specializes in the mining, sourcing, trading, and manufacturing of diamonds, the birthstone for April?
31:15: Q5 (Arts & Literature): What is the name of the sixth book in the Oz books by L. Frank Baum, which includes the name of the birthstone for May?
35:58: Q6 (Music): Rumor has it that the name of what band came from the name of Eddie Vedder’s great-grandmother and not from the name of June’s birthstone?
