Welcome to another engaging episode of "Stuff I Never Knew," the trivia game show podcast hosted by Jeff Revilla. On this episode, we have three fantastic contestants: Laurie, Wize, and Gerald who are here to test their knowledge in a fun and dynamic trivia competition. Broadcasting on the Armstrong neighborhood channel, Jeff sets the stage for an intense game. The familiar theme music plays, and the contestants prepare for their first round of questions. The energy is high, and we’re ready to dive into the world of trivia where knowing the unknown can lead to victory.
In Round 1, the game kicks off with a straightforward question format, "Brand of motorcycle or golf equipment?" Contestants are asked to identify whether a given brand name belongs to a motorcycle or golf equipment company. Laurie starts strong, correctly identifying Ducati as a motorcycle brand. Wize follows suit with Callaway as golf equipment, and Gerald keeps the streak going with Pinnacle as a golf brand. The round continues quickly with more brands like Husqvarna and Precept, with most questions answered correctly except for Wize, who mistakenly identifies Precept as a motorcycle brand. At the end of the round, Laurie and Gerald are tied with three points each, while Wize trails with one. Wize gets to choose the order for the next round, setting Gerald up to go first.
Round 2 introduces the "hot seat" format where each contestant individually answers questions in their chosen categories. Gerald picks entertainment, demonstrating his deep knowledge with perfect answers, earning him maximum points. Laurie follows with the music category, wisely leveraging her expertise from her music podcast to secure seven points out of a possible eight. Wize, with products as his category, scores three out of three on the main questions but struggles with the bonus question. By the end of the round, Gerald takes a slight lead with Wize gaining some ground and Laurie closely following. This sets the stage for the final and most unpredictable round of the game.
The final round is a "Who am I? What am I? Where am I?" segment featuring vague clues that get easier as they go. Contestants can buzz in at any time but risk losing points if they answer incorrectly. In an impressive display of quick thinking, Laurie buzzes in on the first clue multiple times, correctly identifying answers like "The Moon," "Coco Chanel," and "Nelson Mandela," securing her lead. Wize and Gerald also make their moves with answers about hurricanes and MRI machines, but the consistent accuracy and quick responses from Laurie ensure her victory. Wize manages to make a comeback towards the end, but it's Laurie's game as she finishes with a significant lead.
In summary, Episode 164 of "Stuff I Never Knew" was a thrilling contest filled with knowledge, quick responses, and strategic gameplay. Laurie emerged as the winner, demonstrating exceptional trivia prowess particularly in the final round.

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
