Here's a play-by-play summary that captures the essence of the episode:

Round 1: Top Tens Clash
Jeff kicked off the game with the Top Tens category, challenging the participants to name items on three highly debatable lists: the top ten best drinks, best decades to live in since 1900, and the best smells in the world. The latter proved tricky as 'Roses' earned no points. The extensive list did include more evocative scents like fresh air, vanilla, and the earthiness of rain and campfires. It was here that Dominick demonstrated his prowess, taking an early lead that he would maintain throughout the game.

A Myriad of Random Questions
The hot seat was indeed sizzling as each guest faced a barrage of evolution, literary, theatrical, and even mythical queries. It showcased the diversity of their knowledge, as well as some humorous incorrect guesses – but it was the viola that finally won Richard a point.

New Year's Themed 'Name Five' Challenge
As the new year themes emerged, so did the 'name five' challenges. The guests' ability to summon New Year-related items under pressure was both amusing and impressive, adding to the competitive yet cordial atmosphere.

Tiebreaker and the Thrill of Victory
As the points tallied up—Dominick with nine, Kathy with four, and Richard with three—a tiebreaker became necessary to crown the episode's trivia champion. The card sharks' game decided it all, with Dominick clinching the win through a higher card guess.

The episode concluded with a question on a fundamental concept in biology. Kathy's correct answer, 'natural selection,' highlighted the educational aspect of the show. Listeners left with fresh trivia knowledge and a reminder of the joy that comes from learning something new, all while being entertained by the friendly contest. It was another memorable installment of 'Stuff I Never Knew,' where each episode reveals just how much fun trivia can be with the right company.

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 joining me, Richard, Kathy and Dominic. 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. That is correct. And as you know, on this show, we get right into it. We're going into round one with my guests, Richard, Kathy and

Dominic. And that's the order we're going to play in tonight. And we're going to do a top tens. And there's a website called the top tens. So I went to that website and I pulled three different categories, and I'm going to read you the first category coming up here in a second. We're going to go around the horn, Richard, Kathy and Dominic. And all I'm going to ask you to do is give me one item on that list. It could be anywhere on the list. If you give me an answer, it's on there.

You'll stay alive. If you're wrong, you're eliminated for that round. And for each right one you give me, you'll get a point. And if you're the last one standing, you can continue to guess and get all the rest of the points. So if you're ready, Richard, give me an item on the top ten best drinks. These could be generic drinks or brand name drinks. Coke. Coke. Coca Cola. Number two on the list. Very nice. To Kathy. Beer. Beer is a great answer, but not on the

list. Over to Dominic. Okay, I'll go. Coffee or Starbucks? Coffee or Starbucks. Number four or five on the list. Four or five. It's on there. Over to Richard. Water. Water. The most important is number one. Back to Dom. It's going to be a battle between Dominic and Richard for a second here. Tea. T. Number nine on the list. Back to Richard. Energy drinks. Energy drinks. Red Bull are incorrect. No. So, Dominic, you have a chance here to run the board. There's six remaining

for everyone you get. You can get a bonus point. I'm ready. Wine. Wine is not on the list. You're out. So we also had chocolate milk, Dr. Pepper, coffee, lemonade, mountain dew, orange juice, tea and milk. Milk made it two times on there. This next one's fun. And I guarantee a lot of points will be scored on this one. We started with Richard, so now we're going to start with Kathy. I want you to name the top ten best decades to live in

since 1900. So there's two of them that are going to blow up on you, but let's see how many points we can get on this one. Okay. Fifty s. The nineteen fifty s is correct at number seven. And to Dominic. Eighty s. The eighty s. Of course. The number one answer on the list to Richard. I mean, I'm going to say the 90s because that's when I grew up. The 90s. Number two on the list. Back to Kathy. Sixty s. The sixty s. Number five on the list. We're getting closer to eliminating that. Dominic.

The number four on the list. The tension is growing. Richard, oh, my gosh. What happens if I say an answer that someone else said? You're also eliminated. You can't repeat so you got to. Remember writing these down. The already said Richard is out for this round. Back to Kathy. Forty S. The nineteen forty s. Just sneaking in there at number ten. You're staying alive. Kathy to Dominic. Okay. The 2000. 2000. Number three on the list. We have three remaining and two nuclear options. I

Is that legal? So first I'll go the roaring twenty s. The nineteen twenty s. Nineteen twenty. S. Number eight on the list. Okay, then I forget what year we're allowed to stop here, but I'm going. To go the number six. One remaining and one wrong answer. I don't remember where we're allowed to stop,

so I've got to go. The 2020s. It is the best decade to live since the 19 hundreds is 1900. All right, we have one more of these remaining and this one should be fun and a little bit tougher than the last one. We're looking for the top ten best smells in the world. And this one will start with Dominic. Flowers. Flowers are not on the list. Dominic, where'd you get your list? Where'd you get this? The top tens.com. Over to Richard. Lavender. Lavender. Not on the lid. Kathy has a chance to

run all. Ten home cooking home. Could you be more specific? Bread. Bread. Cooking bread. Cooking bread is not on the list. We're going to give a second chance since nobody got any back to Dominic.

Dominic with 17, Kathy with twelve, and Richard with ten. We're going to the final round, which has 30 points available. And in this round, it's a video round, and I'm going to ask you a

series of very, very vague questions. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? And I'm going to start to read a series of clues to you. If you buzz in, because I've asked each of you to bring your own buzzers on the first clue, that's going to be worth three points. The second clue is worth two points and the last clue is worth one point. When you buz in and you're right, you're going

to earn those points and we're going to add them to your total. But if you buz in and you're wrong, you're going to lose that point value and we're going to subtract it from your total.
