Battle Yinza: Live Trivia Night With Jeff at Poduty Theater in Tarentum PA

All right. Hey, everybody. Welcome to Trivia with Jeff. This is the pilot episode, episode

number one. We've got a great game coming your way. All kinds

of different questions. You're playing right on your phone. Let's hear that theme song.

Ladies and gentlemen, Yinza of the Pittsburgh Luchador

Thank you for indulging me with my wrestling entrance. We love it. It's

been a while since I burst through a curtain. We reset the whole room just

for that entrance, and it was spectacular. I felt it. It's great to be

in front of a crowd again. So glad to have you here. What you been

up to? I know that. Oh, you know, just a little bit of this, a

little bit of that. Brushing up on my trivia for tonight. I

understand there's, like, stakes involved. Yeah. So the audience is going to

play against Yinza tonight. And what we're

going to do is we go over on the. If we go to the camera,

too, we have a bin full of

black balls right now, and we're going to replace those with

gold balls. Each time that you beat Yinza on the leaderboard,

we're going to take out one ball and put in one yellow ball. So if

you. Yinza's in sixth place, that means we're going to replace five balls with

gold balls, and we're going to play that way all the way through until we

get to the final game. Because when we get to game four,

what's going to happen is you, the winner of that game

is going to go up and pick a ball, and that ball is gold. If

it's gold, you're going to double the prize money

for the night. So for. Oh, my goodness, you could walk

away with $200 for first place. So how are we going to play? Well,

each game is going to be 25 questions, and all you want to do

is beat Yinza. The better Yinza plays, the more money

I keep. The worst Yinza plays, the more you like him.

I think that's how. Oh, so you want me to be

dumb. All right, so.

Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, that's all right. On the

first game. The first place. First place for the first game is going to win

a $25 gift card to a local to rent a business. So

everybody's going to win on every game. There's going to be prizes all night. We

got $300 worth of prizes coming your way. We've

got. Give that a like. Give that a like. Yeah, you get in the bottom

right corner, you can always hit that little, like, button and like we said, your

goal is to beat Yinza. For every time, every person that's above him on the

leaderboard, we're going to put in a gold ball and take out a black one.

And as many as you can get in there, it gets the ratio to about

50, 50 by the end of tonight if you, you can beat Yinza.

No, I don't know, Jeff. You know,

I don't know. I'm a little distracted because I know I

never posed for a picture holding a yellow

ball with my name on it. So

I was impressed with your Photoshop skills. That's

true. That was not done. That was not a

real photo. We. That was enhanced.

Boom. We did not build the set to do that, so. And by the

time we get to the end of the game, you could have given me a

little bit more muscle if you wanted to. I

apologize. And the goal, the whole reason why we're doing this is

this is going to build throughout the first three games and you'll see that by

the end of tonight, that bin should be about 50,

50. And it gives you a really good chance of doubling your prize money.

And since we're ready to play, everybody received a

little commemorative zine tonight with directions and a little bit of a picture with

Yinza, which I may stick around. Everybody. That's why

the people came. That's why the people came. It wasn't the promise of free money.

Yeah. See that? See that?

Is everybody connected and ready to play?

We have round one, and tonight we're going to play five games and

I like to do a little warm up. It's a little this or that. I'm

gonna give you something and you have to tell me is it this or is

it that? And tonight our this or that is real or

fake flavors of Twinkies. So I'm gonna read you a

Twinkie flavor. All you have to do is pick 50. 50 guess, is

it a real flavor or not a real flavor? So a nice little way

to warm up. Get started tonight. We'll go

to our first question here. I thought Twinkies flavor

was Twinkie. Oh, but there's, there's flavors of Twinkies.

Multiple, multiple flavors. There's a who Wikipedia on Twinkie flavors.

We got 14 players, 20 questions for the entire game tonight.

Question number one, is this a real

or fake flavor of Twinkie? And the faster you

answer, the more points you get. That's also a little curveball tonight. So

Hostess chocolate orange flavored Twinkies

are chocolate orange flavored Twinkies a Real or

fake flavor? Everybody said

real flavor. Oh, it is a fake flavor.

All right, guys. All right.

Hey, I, I get the point for that one. There was a goose

egg on that one. Let's try it again.

So this was the, this was the practice round, right? Yes.

Okay. All right. And so we won't know where you're at.

So we don't have a leaderboard yet. Everybody's on. We have a 14

way time. So how many balls is that? Well, we

won't count the balls. So after the first five questions. So here we go. Question

number two. Is money on the line

right now? Money is on the line. Come on in.

We'll get you started. You got your little book, gets signed in. We'll get you

on the next question. Question 2.

Answer fast to get more points. Hostess lemonade stand

flavored Twinkies. Is this a real or

fake flavor of Twinkie?

Oh, we got a nice split on this one. Ten of you knew it was

a real flavor. Ten of you are going to be on the leaderboard

filling out the whole first top 10. Let's see if

we can see Yinza's name because right now, if we were to end this round,

we would take out 10 black and put in 10 yellow balls in the

bin right now, which is a good ratio for the audience. Why did my name.

My name said Kathy on here. Is there a Kathy on there? I think I'm

logged in as Kathy. Does it say Kathy? Does it tell you your

name on the screen? No. No. Nice.

Well, here we go. Derek was the fastest on that one. There you go. Over

here. He knows his twinkie flavors. Question three of

20, Kathy. Does that say are you Kathy? No.

Okay, here we go. Join quiz. Get ready to play Yinza. All

right, I think I'm good. Here we go. Well, we're playing. Well, that's why I

kept asking. This was money.

Hostess Chocolate peanut butter Twinkies. Is that a real

or fake flavor? Chocolate peanut butter. It sounds good.

I'd eat it. A chocolate brownie with a peanut butter filling.

We got. Where's your peanut butter coated? Oh, like a dip

Twinkie. Yeah. How about deep fried dipped Twinkies?

Yeah, I've had a deep fried Oreo, but not a Twinkie.

And then I keep, I keep staring into a yellow microphone plush

thingy over here, and you're talking about Twinkies. And this does

count for money. This is for money. All right,

11 of you said real flavor. 11 of you are correct. 4 of you got

it wrong. It is a real flavor. All right, let's

see how our leaderboard changes here.

Derek is still in first place by. Oh, wait, no, it's still

calculating. Lindsay. Lindsay jumps up into first place. Then

Tiger baby sass, Single T, Rachel, Paul

and Josh. Derek, Jaden and Abby. You're right there. But

don't forget, there's 20,000 points in the whole game, so

there's a lot of game left to play. Question number four.

Here we go. 17 players. We keep growing. I like this. There we go.

Hostess Twinkie Orange cream pop. Would I

do two orange flavored Twinkies in one? Yeah, you would? Would

I? Yeah. Oh, everyone has voted. Did I

fool everyone again? We split them.

And that one is a real flavor. Somebody knows that flavor.

It is a real flavor. Twinkie Orange cream pop

in cream. Orange cream pop. That one sounds good. I would eat that one for

sure. It's a Yinza favorite. I mean, I'm

not a big, huge fan of orange with, you know, the bronze and the

bangles and all that stuff, but I could get down with

some orange cream soda. That checks. Orange

cream pop. There we go. I hear Rachel's in second. Sass and Josh

first and third. Our last question of this round before

we tally. Is anybody gonna knock out?

Let's see. Or will Yinza knock in? Well, considering

I don't think my first three questions count. How about pumpkin spice? Is

pumpkin spice a real or fucking fake flavor? A Twinkie

I can definitely see. Yeah, this is a big one.

Everybody does pumpkin spice, and it is a real

flavor. A Twinkie. Pumpkin spice is correct. Another

11 of you got it correct.

So were you counting on me to save you money? Because

so far I'm in 15th place. My phone says

so I got 15 more questions. Yes.

This isn't going to plan,

but what we do need now is a volunteer from the

audience. Would anybody like to be the keeper of the balls

and sit in the VIP section? But you have to do a

little bit of math. Anybody

you want to. I got a VIP section. You can both go to the VIP

section. No, just one. All right, so while we're setting up for the

next round, I'll give you a second. You're going to take out 10,

and you can lift the lid right off. There's a.

Oh, yeah, there's a divider there. Let's go over to that

camera. Let's switch the camera over there.

Very nice. And we're going to replace 10 of those balls

with gold ones. And then we, of course, expect you to be

honest and play fairly, because

Everybody's going to be watching. Yeah. Wait.

This guy who is playing this game to win

your money is in charge of your balls. Yes. That is

how this is going to go down. Okay. All right. I'm just. All right.

Without. We don't want to. Because we don't want to hinder any play either. So

here we go. We're going to go on to our next round

now. We're going to do some general knowledge trivia we have.

Each question has four choices. Again, you

want to answer fast to get more points. Again, if you've ever played

trivia with me, I will do things to mislead you. I will

do things to have fun. I will do things to make you second guess yourself.

So keep that in mind as we go forward. I'm ready

now. So speed is a factor. I need to

answer quickly. The faster you answer, the more points you earn. We have

15,000 points remaining. You're still in it. All right.

As long as your score wasn't zero. No promises there.

All right, let's go. Let's see. We got six. Question

six of 2016 players ready. A couple more trickling in.

We'll let everybody get loaded, y', all, while you loaded in. Here we

go. Question number six.

What is the crescent shaped rock roll traditionally served

in a continental breakfast called? Is that a crepe, a

croissant, a donut, or a pancake?

And these questions will increase with difficulty as we go through the night. They

start a little easy. 17 of you knew a croissant.

That's not going to change the leaderboard, but this is where answering fast will get

you more points. Let's see who was the fastest that round.

Were they on the leaderboard? And it looks like Derek and and

Lindsey were tied there for the first. For the fastest sass

in first place by just over, what, 70 points

there, then Rachel and Josh. It's still anybody's game.

Question number seven.

Which of these actors have not portrayed Batman on

film? Michael Keaton, George Clooney,

Val Kilmore, Brad Pitt. I

heard Brad Pitt will play you in the biopic of the the Story of

Yinza. I'm trying to get Michael Keaton because he's a Pittsburgh guy, you

know, that makes more sense. Yeah. Or Dennis Miller.

Dennis. I do like the curls for Dennis Miller. He'd be able to pull that

off. Brad Pitt. 14 of you said it. 14 of you got

it right. Let's see if we have a little bit of a shake up.

You should not have gotten a blind luchador

as Your first player, your first guest. Co host. Well,

there's. There's other games. There's more redemption. You're off. Maybe not off to a

great start this game, but you may know. All right, all right, just let me

know. Here we go. We'll get everybody loaded up. The next round is going

question 8 of 20.

Answer fast to get more points. Which brand

of coffee was named after the hotel in which it was first

served? Folgers, Pete's, Maxwell House,

Starbs, Starbucks. Have you

ever stayed at a Starbucks? They have very good turndown

service. I do. They kicked me out.

Maxwell House is correct. A lot of coffee fans in here tonight.

See, it had the word house in it. I thought that was the trick. That

was the trick. Let's see. It looks like Josh is going to leapfrog.

Josh jumps up into first place. Sass in second.

Single T. Simba, Tiger Baby, Rachel all neck and neck, really

close. Question number nine of

20. What is the official national

anthem of the United States? This is going to be one of the Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania

polka. Where is it? God bless America. America the

Beautiful. The Star Spangled Band. Renegade Stars and stripes

or Renegade black and yellow. 16 of you got the Star

Spangled Banner. We won't comment on the

one. Yeah,

I wasn't going to call anybody out. Lindsay the only

mover on that one. Lindsay the fastest jumping up into ninth.

Josh still holding down in first place. This will be

the halfway question after we complete it. Here

we go, question number 10.

Mr. Montague and Ms. Capulet are better

known by what names? Bonnie and Clyde,

Sonny and Cher, Romeo and Juliet, Gracie

and George. I didn't know

Curious George had a girlfriend. That's pretty cool.

Thirteen of you know your Shakespeare. Romeo and Juliet is

correct.

Uh oh. Josh might lose that top spot. Let's see

Sass battling back and

oh, four of you leapfrog. Josh on that one. Sass,

single T. Simba, Tiger Baby and Josh really, really

close. All up in the top five there, everybody. All ten of you

are still beating Yinza. There's a few.

There's a few more than the 10. Let's go to the

next one. What do we call a person from Denmark?

Are they a Dennis, a marksman, a

Dane or a Denny or a Jag Off?

I'm just kidding. Denmarkians, I love you. Our first international

incident. They are Danes. Thirteen of you

know people from must know someone from Denmark.

We'll go to that leaderboard. Let's see how it is. I have a

little leapfrog over Simba. Let's see what happens.

Simba dropping down to eighth place. Sass still holding

tight in first place by about 60 points there.

Question 12. I think this wraps our second round after this

one, so more balls are going to be. We're going to pick some balls. Here

we go. Which of the following is traditionally associated with a

maypole? Is that dancing, marriage,

barbershop, pole vaulting. I thought it was. I

thought it was, like, what, the Pilgrims came over.

Oh, I should have did the Mayflower. Mayflower dancing

is correct. 12 of you got it. Let's see who's going to poll

vault in the rankings. Let's

see. We could see a little shake up on this one.

Let's see. I mean, it's a very close

game. The top 10 are within 1500 points. That's

a question and a half. Sass the fastest on that one. Holding tight

going into. Well, question 13. We got one more question

in this round. No balls yet.

Question 13. Which of these. Which of these was used

to put Snow White asleep? Trivia. Magic mirror.

Poison apple. Magic spell. Bedtime story.

17 of you know you're Snow White.

17 of you. This is the smartest crowd I've ever

seen. This is ridiculous. I did not sign up for,

like, Mensa to come to Paduti Theater and

embarrass me. Jeffrey, this is.

This is on the Internet. Not yet. Not yet.

And Derek, the fastest on that one. Sass, single T

and Tiger baby, the first ones to break into 10,000 points.

A buckle came off my pants. Oh, geez. Well, let's

take a little break before we get into the final round.

We're going to play a game called Name 5. It's one of my favorite things

to do, just to really see who the audience is.

Yinza thinks this for money. This is not for money. This is just for fun.

Yinza wants to know a little bit more about the audience, and I think this

will help you understand who you're playing against, especially for the future. I

clearly need to get into their minds because they're psyching me out right

now. They got me on the ropes, and I need a breather.

This is going to be the breather. The rest of the breather, slow count. He's

going to slow count so you can do the thing.

There we go. I'm going to read you a category, and when the screen

flips, you're going to have a chance to enter in as many things as you

want about what would fit into that category. So there's

no points. This is just for fun. This will help us understand who the audience

is. It'll help you know who you're battling. Yinza. Okay,

so let's see what we're going to do here. I want you to name five

games you can play outside in the summer.

So the more people that answer the same will,

you'll see that it'll get bigger on the screen. So you may type. You know,

some people might type a certain game. That game will keep getting bigger and bigger

on the screen. We're going to create a word cloud here.

We're going to see the thoughts of all the audience up on the screen. Okay.

And I'm going to pick one of them. I'll let Yinza pick his favorite

game, and if somebody can verify that

they said that, they'll win a Paduti T shirt just like

the one I'm modeling tonight. Oh, wow. And so

we got lots of games coming in here. A lot of football players in the

summer. All right, so, yeah, they got tag, football,

hide and seek, volleyball, softball. Marco. Polo.

You need a. You need a pool involved with that as well. Cornhole.

A maple. Softball. Wrestling.

Stargazing. Golf. Yeah, wrestling. Tag.

Somebody's panda. Panda pandering. So, so.

So if I pick one and five people wrote it.

Well, you want to pick a small one?

And. And. And what are we getting? A T shirt. All right.

They're still coming in. People are still typing. I love it.

So now you know what these people do in the summertime that could help you

with a strategy going forward. A lot of parks, a lot of. A

lot of activities, a lot of group. Nobody. Nobody's reading outside,

Jeffrey. Nobody's listening to podcasting outside. They're all doing physical

activities. And I like that. What's bad? Oh, Badminton.

Badminton, Badminton. It says softball. All

right, so who. All right,

I'm gonna pick one. Is this. Is this. Yeah, you. You pick one.

Catch and release. No, catch. Catch the flag. Catch the

flag. Who's that? Catch the flag. Capture the

capture. Capture the flag. Capture the flag. Both of you peoples

do you on the honor system. I got you two T shirts. So see me

after the show. Yeah. The first prize is

awarded in trivia for Jeff History with J. All right,

let's get back into it. I got to think about how to give

prizes the next time on that one. All right,

final round. Who. Wait,

before we get to the final round, we have some business to take care of.

Let's keep her of the ball. Let's go over. Let's go over to camera

two. We've got 10 more replacements coming your way. We're

going to take out 10 of the black ones, put in 10 of the gold

ones. Black and gold, black and yellow.

Yellow is your friend. So you can see it's already starting to change

the composition of the aquarium over there. The terrarium.

Terrarium to rentium to wrentium. That's a torrent of

terrarium.

Terranium with uranium. Maybe it's their uranium,

the gold. He's just dumping handfuls in there. Now he's on the

honor system. Yeah, I love it.

So we got 10 over there. We'll go back to the stage.

All right, are we ready to play the final round?

This is for the $25 gift certificate to a local to

run a business. I'm just going to say, mathematically,

you can still win it. I'm confident. Yeah. This is. This is. This is the

comeback. Yeah. Yeah. Let's

see who. How many will beat Yinza?

There's a long list of people already on that one.

Well, I mean, they could add 30, which is a great ratio already.

And there's two more games to play to switch out some of those. So we

got 17 players ready. Here we

go. Question number 14.

Which popular game has varieties called stud and

draw? Is it chess, Go Fish,

poker, or dominoes? I like

playing train dominoes. Whoa,

dominoes. Cool story.

Sixteen of you, no bio poker. Come on in. Hey,

what's up?

Let's check that leaderboard. Anything gonna change on this one? All right, Come

on. It's like, Rob. Why? The first time I saw that name on the. Where's

Rob? Rob. All right, welcome. Rob just jumped up onto the

leaderboard, and we had Lindsay and Derek the fastest.

Is there a way we could, like, scroll up so I could see my name,

like, once tonight? No, I'm not in front of. I'm not in front of that

computer. That computer is controlled by this remote, and I'm just hanging on

by a thread. Let's go.

Which part of the camera opens to emit light when you take a

picture, is that the flash, the focus ring, the

shutter, or the film couple? Film guys should know

about that fat

figure. I hear some complaints from the audience. I'm

not even loading. There we go. Everyone has

voted. 14 of

you are familiar with camera gear

or three of you. Come on,

come on. Is it gonna pop up? Let's see. Is Yinza gonna make it?

No. Nope, not yet. But single team, the

fastest on that one, catching up the sass by just about 80 points

behind. Let's go. Question 16.

Five questions remaining for that 25 gift card.

Can anybody else hear their heartbeat or is it because I'm wearing a mask?

Semaphore is a method of sending signals using.

What is that? Smoke signals, flags, Signal

lamps or telegraphs.

What's a semaphore? It's one of those for the. Yeah.

Oh, this is a good split on this one. Flags. That's using flags

to send signals.

You got it.

Lucky guess. It looks like we're have some changing on the leaderboard too.

And Sass still holding strong in first place.

We'll go to question 17. Everybody with these outdoor

activities have all this sun that are giving their

minds and their brains development.

I need to be outside in the sun. But if you are outside in the

sun, your brain isn't getting any sun because of the mask.

Yeah, it all comes and I still can't see a damn thing. All right,

let's go, Jefferson. Here we go.

Which of the following is not a Spice Girl? Tell me what

I want. Whatever. Is it Sparkle, baby, Scary

or posh?

Who is your favorite? I think

scary Sparkle was my favorite. Sparkle Spice.

Sparkle. Sparkle Spice. Fifteen of you new know your

Spice Girls

not going to change too much on the leaderboard. Although it looks like single

T is creeping up there. Is that by what?

41 points between first and second place.

Three questions remaining. I don't think I'm going to win the

$25. Who composed Rhapsody in Blue?

Was that Queen, Freddie Mercury, Cole Porter,

Irving Berlin or George Gershwin? Thought

it was Falco.

Not. No, no, no. I like me Amadeus. Rock me

Amadeus. German.

German Pop. We'll go to that leaderboard. We're going to have a little bit of

a shake up here. Uh oh. Oh, Sass.

Sass. Oh. Not a good time to lose. The

top ranking single T. Derek leapfrog in the first and second

sass. Lindsay Tiger, baby. Third, fourth and fifth.

Let's go to. Hope you go take a drink.

I don't think it matters. I don't think it matters. Go ahead.

Your results not affecting the outcome of the show will be edited.

See, the past couple of years, I've been wrestling tag team matches where I'd be

able to tag somebody out and come back in. Oh, wait, there's. What would you

find if you went into a pasta center? Seria in Italy?

Brazole cakes, assorted pastas,

historical books. What would be

in. I like the. I like the head, shaking the nose. And the only thing

I know about Italy is Franco Harris. Yeah, that

is true. It is Cakes. You'll find

Cakes there. I like. I got 60 on

pastas. This could really shake up the.

This is really going to shake up the leaderboard. Four of you got it right

on the leaderboard. Single T sass, Tiger Baby. Derek

leading first, second, third, and fourth.

Here we go. Answer fast to get more points. What

part of the window is known as the jam? Oh,

is it the bottom where it closes either of the

vertical sides, the four corners, or the

latch to lock it? What do they call the jam where you come from?

That's what. What? The jam.

The jam. You ever heard of the window jam? Four of you have? Nope.

Because it's either of the vertical sides is the jam. I was thinking

about stubbing my toe. Yeah, and. And

you jammed your toe in a window. I jammed my toe in the window. Oh,

here we go. Our final tonight. Oh, my

goodness. Is there a shakeup? Is it enough points for Tiger

baby to leapfrog into second place?

Single T is walking away. Single T is

our winner for game number one. We're gonna put 10 more

balls between the break into the bin. We'll catch up with the bin on

episode number two. But single T, do you have a

favorite Turretum restaurant?

You're not going to believe this. This is a 25 gift

card to Masserts. All right,

Support local businesses. Support local businesses. All right, we're going

to take a quick break. Come back with episode number two,

Trivia with jeff. Trivia with jeff. Trivia with

jeff. Let's go.

Hey, everybody. I hope you really enjoyed the pilot episode of Trivia

a lot of things, but the overall feedback from the audience has

been phenomenal. We have three more episodes coming

up from this batch of shows with Yinza. There'll be two more episodes where the

audience is trying to switch out the black balls for the gold balls and use

that to double their money in the final round. So make sure you
