In this episode of the "Stuff I Never Knew" Trivia Game Show Podcast, host Jeff Revilla welcomes three guests: Dina, Mike, and Dave. The episode kicks off with the catchy theme music before Jeff introduces the game for the night.
The game revolves around McDonald's menu items from around the world. Jeff reads out the name of a menu item and provides two countries as options. The guests have to guess which country the item was sold in. The first item, the Bacon Macaroni and Cheese Toasty, stumps Dina, who guesses Canada but is proven incorrect when the correct answer is revealed to be Hong Kong.
As the game progresses, the guests take turns guessing the countries for various McDonald's menu items. Mike correctly identifies Italy as the country where the Tomato and Mozzarella Turnovers were sold, while Dave guesses the Philippines correctly for the Chicken McDew with Spaghetti item. Dina redeems herself by correctly guessing Canada as the country for the McLobster.
The game continues with more rounds and questions about Back to the Future movie quotes, boy bands, famous rivers, and other topics. Mike and Dave perform well, while Dina manages to stay in the game with her correct answers. The guests also have an opportunity to earn bonus points by naming items in various categories, such as spices and social media platforms.
Towards the end of the episode, Dina is in the lead, followed closely by Mike and Dave. They enter the final round, where Jeff presents a series of vague questions for them to answer. The guests buzz in to guess the answers, with each clue worth varying point values. The tension rises as they try to gain points and avoid losing any. Dave emerges as the winner with the highest score.
Throughout the episode, there are playful interactions among the guests and the host, with shoutouts to Mike's artwork and Dina promoting Mike's art website and their Love Pod podcast. The episode concludes with Jeff thanking the guests and inviting listeners to sign up for future episodes of the podcast.

Hey, everybody. Welcome to the stuff I never knew. Trivia, game show podcast.
I'm Jeff. I'm your host. We are on the Armstrong neighborhood
Channel. I've got three great guests, Dina, Mike,
and Dave. 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 get right into it on round one. And
my order is based on how my guests showed up on time
tonight. Dina was here first, then Mike and Dave. And tonight
we're playing a fun game. I'm a sucker for eating at McDonald's,
and I wanted to travel the world and see what other items does
McDonald's sell or sold around the world.
So I'm going to read you the name of the item and then give you
two countries. All you have to do is pick which country McDonald
sold that item in to. Dina. The
Bacon macaroni and cheese toasty.
Was that in Hong Kong or Canada? That's
the bacon macaroni and cheese toasty. I'm
going to go with Canada. Canada
is incorrect. That was a Hong
Kong item. Okay. It seems kind of.
That's Canada. Kind of American. Yeah, right there. That's their motto.
They were kind of American. Over to Mike.
Tomato and mozzarella turnovers. Was
that Ukraine or Italy? I'll go
Italy. Italy. Is
correct. Correct. Thank
you. All right, maybe my favorite one on the night. To
Dave the chicken McDew with spaghetti.
Where can you get a chicken McDoo with spaghetti? Is
that Italy or the Philippines?
I'm going to go Philippines. Philippines. Did I try to trick
you? Is correct. Philippines is correct.
All right, Dina. This one sounds kind of American.
The McLobster. Is the
McLobster from the USA or
Canada? They get a little bit harder as we go on here. That's got to
be Canada. I don't ever remember seeing anything like that here. I'm just going to
go with Canada for every answer, whether it's an option or not.
Well, Canada is correct.
All right, back to Mike. The
McChicken mozzarella. McChicken
mozzarella. Was that a regional
item in the USA or South
Korea? WhEre can you get a McChicken mozzarella?
I'll go USA. East coast, probably SA.
USA is incorrect.
South Korea for that one. Lame. Back to
Dave. Sweet corn. He gets sweet
corn in a cup. Is that in the heartland of the
USA or Japan? Can I pick Canada? You can
pick Japan.
Japan is correct.
Woohoo. Boo. Back to Dina. The
mashed potato burger. The mashed
potato burger. Is that in China
or Ireland?
I'm going to go with China.
China is
correct. All right, here we go back
to Mike. The banana shake. McDonald's has
milkshakes. This banana shake, was it in
Hawaii or Japan?
I've never seen the shake machine work in America, so I'm going to go
with Japan. That's a good logic, but is it
correct? It is correct. It is
Japan. And our last one back to
Dave, the cordon Blue Burger.
Cordon Blue. Is it from France
or.
Uh. I'm going to say France.
France is
incorrect. That's tricky. Correct.
All right, let's go to that scoreboard to see how we stand, because
it determines the order of round two. Does it, though? We
are currently tied two, two and two, so it
does not. Your question is valid. Dina, you are
staying in the hot seat. Dina. Yeah. Welcome to
the show. Oh, thank you. We're going to put Dina into
the hot seat.
There she is. Dina, welcome back to the show. We've had you on the show
before and had a lot of fun, and you're back. Any updates? Anything
you want to tell us or talk about since your last appearance?
Not really. I'll promote Mike's art because the Love pod, which is the
podcast that we used to do, is on kind of an extended hiatus,
maybe until the next season of Love is blind. So if you like reality
TV, check out the love pod. And if not, and you like this really cool
art behind me, that is Mike over here. Over there with
Miketucci designs.com. Very nice. And
then are there archived episodes of the Love Pod? If
people want to? There are. There's three seasons, and we interview
guests from Love is blind. Relationship experts got
a little bit harder now that I'm in a relationship to talk about
dating. So we'll see what happens with the podcast.
Very good. So are you, Dina,
ready? I guess for the hot
seats, I'm. Going to have to be. That was kind of a reality
show build up right there. Yeah, I dig it. So, in round two,
each of my guests are going to get three questions from these same
three categories. Finish this Back to the Future movie
quote. 2000 boy bands and Famous
Rivers. Dina, your first question. Finish
this quote from Back to the Future. Wait a minute. Wait a minute. Doc,
are you telling me you built a time machine out of a
blank? I never watch
movies, and I know I've seen this one, but I'm probably going to mess it
up. But it's a car, so I'm going to go with car. Car
is half correct, but it won't finish the quote. We're looking for
the DeLorean, the famous car from Back to the future.
Okay, but you're close. Probably wouldn't have gotten that one. It's the pressure
makes me nervous. That's it. How about this? Our 2000 boy bands.
The 2000 album no Strings Attached is associated
with which popular boy band
pop culture Junkienc.
NSYNC is correct.
And your famous Rivers. Which famous river
flows through the Grand Canyon? Oh, is it the
Colorado? The Colorado is
correct, yeah. So you now have an opportunity for
five bonus points. I'm going to give you a very vague
category, like name five spices in your spice cabinet. But I'm
also going to put 10 seconds on the clock. You have 10 seconds to
name five things that fit into that category.
Dina, name five social media
platforms and go. Twitter, Instagram,
TikTok, Facebook, Reddit.
Wasn't that five? Was it. Oh, my God. Vine.
No, it was five, but I always let the timer run the whole time.
Very well. You got seven of the eight points that's going to move
Mike the artist into the hot seat. Mike,
welcome to the show. Hello. Where are you calling in
from? In Phoenix. In Phoenix. Welcome to the
show. Tell us a little bit more about your art and how can people connect.
With you and find on the website

sharpies. Just pointillism and some nail sculptures and.
Yeah, that's basically it. Very nice. We'll put the link in the
show notes. Are you ready
for the hot seats? As ready as I'll ever be. All right,
finish this back to the future quote. Rhodes.
Where we're going, we don't need bloke.
Rhodes is correct. Oh, I could have gotten that
one. Well, let's see
how Mike knows his boy bands. Which boy band
sang the song? I want it that way.

went seven of eight in that round. Very nice.
Let's move Dave to the hot seat. Are
you ready, Dave? I guess so. Where are you calling in
from? So I live in Abington,
Pennsylvania, but right now I'm up in the Pocono Mountains. Oh, very nice. Wonderful
place. I had one of the best ice cream cones in the Pocono Mountains. It
was a pretzel cone. And I've never seen pretzel cones anywhere else. Do
you know what that place is? It might be the place that's right nearby here
called the Junction. Maybe it was way up on like a hill, like a mountain,
like overlooking a valley or something. But so is everything in the Poconos. That's
true, because it is the Pocono Mountain. Yeah. So if you're ever in the Poconos,
find pretzel cones. They are amazing. Tell us about yourself.
Anything you want to plug, promote, talk about tonight? Nothing.
So I'll plug Mike Tucci's art.
He gets all my points. I want
her points, too. You know what? Fair enough. All right,
deal. Well, we love when the guests get along. Until
the final round. We'll talk about that in just a minute. So, Dave, happiness
is a moment. Dave, are you
ready for the hot? All right,
there's two quotes here. It's the same answer in each one. Why do you
keep Calling me blank? And Lorraine answers,

clock. Dave, name five varieties

French on. Very fancy. I
think you went. Did you sweep that one? Eight for eight. Oh,
no. Seven for eight. No, I don't know what happened. Six for eight. There we
go. Are we all tied again? Look at this score.
We're going to go into the final round. We have Dina and Mike tied with
nine. Mike's points are questioned right now. They may all go to Dave.
And Dave has eight points. There's one point from first and
second place. And we're going to go to the final round.
And in this round, I'm going to read a series of very vague questions.
Who am I? What am I? What food am I? And then I'm going to
give you clues to help you figure that out. There's going to be
three clues for each question. If you buz in and get it right on the
first clue, that's worth three points. The second clue is worth two
points, and the third clue is worth one point. You buzz in
and you get it right, you're going to earn those points. However, if
you're wrong, you will lose that point value. So
if you buz in early and you're wrong, you could lose three points per question.
There's no limit to how many times you can buz in. If you want to
buzz in multiple, multiple times, the fans at home will.
They love a negative score. So if you're going to sink the ship, do it
beautifully. So let's test Each of my guest.
Let's see. Let's hear your buzzer.

hope this works.
I've got a little jingle there. And to Mike.
