TOM CRUISE, BASKETBALL, WOOD, MCDONALD'S | The Unbelievable Truth | David Mitchell

Описание: Welcome to the show that proves facts are far more ridiculous than anything a comedian can make up. Hosted by the king of the cynical logic-trap, David Mitchell, this episode of The Unbelievable Truth challenges our panel to smuggle actual truths through a "tissue of lies."

Can you spot the real facts about Tom Cruise's stunt-heavy career, the strange origins of Basketball, the surprising world of Wood, or the global reach of McDonald's? Or will our lecturers successfully smuggle the truth right past your ears?


🎙️ The "Unbelievable" Topics:
Tom Cruise: Is he actually allowed to do those stunts? Or is his height the only thing we should be debating? Our panelists attempt to find the five true facts hidden in a Hollywood-sized pile of lies.

Basketball: From peach baskets to the modern NBA, the history of this sport is weirder than you think. Did you know the first games were played with a soccer ball? (Wait, is that a truth or a lie?)

Wood: It’s not just for furniture. Prepare for a lecture that explores the surprisingly complex and bizarre reality of trees and timber.

McDonald's: The Golden Arches are everywhere, but how much do we actually know about the world’s most famous fast-food chain? The truths hidden in this lecture are definitely not on the "Dollar Menu."

📖 Rules of the Game:
Each panelist must deliver a short lecture that is almost entirely made up of lies. However, they must hide five unbelievable truths within the nonsense.

The Competition: The other players must "buzz in" when they think they hear a genuine fact.

The Score: Points are awarded for spotting a truth, but you lose points if you "buzz" on a lie.

The Smuggle: If a speaker gets a truth past the entire panel, they win double points!
