In Episode 60 of the "Stuff I Never Knew" Trivia Game Show Podcast, hosted by Jeff Revilla, listeners are treated to an engaging trivia contest featuring three guests: Greg, Vince, and Joe. The episode kicks off with Jeff inviting listeners to join live trivia sessions held twice a month, accessible through poduty.com, where participants can play from around the world.

The trivia competition begins with a uniquely themed game called "Presidential Wrestlers." Jeff presents nicknames, and the contestants must identify whether each nickname belongs to the 8th U.S. President, Martin Van Buren, or a pro wrestler. Joe takes an early lead, showcasing his trivia prowess. The round continues with Greg and Vince also demonstrating their knowledge, making for a tight contest.

In the second segment, Vince earns the right to decide the order for the following round, dubbed the "Connections Quiz." Joe opts for television-themed questions and impressively connects the answers to "Sesame Street" characters, leading him to significant bonus points. Greg then takes on movie-related questions, adeptly identifying connections to the film "Forrest Gump." Finally, Vince tackles music-related queries, ultimately linking his answers to Taylor Swift, securing more points for himself.

As the final round unfolds, Jeff introduces more challenging questions, mixing general knowledge with quick thinking. The contestants' scores remain close, but Greg eventually pulls ahead with his consistent performance. Greg's victory earns him four free passes to Jennerstown Speedway, adding an exciting reward to the trivia fun. The episode wraps up with a celebratory conclusion and Jeff encouraging listeners to participate in future trivia episodes, accessible via the Stuff I Never Knew website.
