Hey, everybody. Welcome to the stuff I never knew, trivia game show podcast. I'm Jeff. I'm your host. We're on the Armstrong neighborhood channel. I've got three great guests, Steven, Jonathan and Jim. 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. All right. In round one, as you know, on this show, we get right into it. And today
I'm doing a game called are we getting better with our goals? Every new year's we set new goals, and I think we've had our priorities change a little bit over the last three or four years. So I was interested in looking at a new year's resolution popularity list from 2019, and I'm going to compare that to a list for 2023, New Year's resolution. So all I want you to do is tell me, have we gotten better with that goal or worse with that goal
over the course of the year? So was it higher on 2019 or lower on the 2019 list? So keep in mind higher means a lower number. So if it was number one, that's higher than a number four. So it's going to get really confusing and it'll go really fast. This shouldn't get confusing at all. We're going to go with the order of what you signed up tonight is, Steven, you are going first tonight moving to another country now that these are probably very
us centric things. So in 2019, was this higher or lower on the list than it is in 2023? I'm going to say it's higher on the list. Higher. In 2023 it was number four. So right now on 2019, it wasn't even on the list. It was lower. Lower was the correct answer. Over to Jonathan. Learn a new language. Was this higher or lower on the 2019 list than it was on the 2023 list? I bet it is lower. Lower is incorrect. It was higher. It was number eight in 2019. Since then, it's dropped to
number 24. We're not as interested. We want to move to other countries, but we don't want to learn any languages. Over to Jim. Eat healthier. I think it was lower. Lower is correct. Your first point of the game in 2019, it was number 17 and in 2023 became the number one list. Probably sitting at home during a pandemic for three years, eating chips all the time. You want to lose some weight. All right, let's go back to Steven. Steven,
read a book. Do you think more people in 2019 wanted to read a book than in 2023? I'm going to say because of the pandemic and because we've been locked in our house for so long and watching shows on our stuff, this has got to be higher up on the list. It was higher in 2019. Is correct. And 2023, guess what? Not even on the list. Nobody wants to read anymore. All right, over to Jonathan. Buy bitcoin. Do you think more people wanted to buy bitcoin in 2019 or 2023? I bet
they wanted to buy more in 2019. So I believe higher. Higher is correct. It was number 24 in 2019 today. Not even on the list. Not even on the list. Over to Jim. Get a job or make a career change. I'd say this was higher. Higher is correct. Higher in 2019. It was number seven in 2019. Today it's only number 18. All right, the last one we'll get out of this game. To Steven. Drink more water.
Well, if we're going to go with the eating healthier thing, and I know that water has been a big priority with all the canned waters and all that stuff coming out. Now I'm going to say it's higher on the list. Higher in 2019 is correct. It's not even on the list in 2023. So there we go. Over to Jonathan. I think everybody's getting the right answers for the wrong reasons, and I'm confused even reading the answer. So here we go. Jonathan, take a break from social media.
Was that higher or lower in 2019? I bet it was lower in 2019. Lower is correct. It was number four in 2019 and number three in 2023. And our last one, the gym. Get in better shape or exercise more. Yeah, I think that was lower in 2019. In 2019. This one is the closest one of the night. It was higher in 2019 only by one slot. It was the number one in 2019. It was higher on the list. So yeah, I was confused writing that game. So I can only imagine how everybody
listening is feeling right now. But now we're going to go to that scoreboard and we have a tied game. Well played. Even though I didn't understand the answer is Steven, Jonathan and Jim tied at two apiece, which means we're not going to change the originate, which means, Steven, you're going to the hot seat. Steven, welcome to the show. How's it going? Oh, it's going great. I am so pumped. I'm so excited. Well, where are you so pumped and so excited. Calling in

Our second totally random question. In chess, which color always moves first? I can never remember this.
I think black moves first. Black is incorrect. White moves first. And our third totally random question tonight. In the game of chess, only one piece can move in an l pattern. Which piece is this?

Chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin, double chocolate cinnamon. Yeah. Those are four
cookies. I would totally got four points going into the final round. Let's look at that scoreboard. The producer is obviously favoring Jim here. Jim is leading by 104 points. We'll get that corrected in post. I think that's what video editors say. But we have a very close game. For real. We have Jonathan and Jim tied at eight. Steven was seven. But don't worry, because there's 30 points in this final round. All right. In round three, we're going to play a very fun game. I'm going to read
you a series of questions. Who am I? What am I? Where am I? And to get to the answer, I'm going to read a series of clues. Now you can buz in. I've asked each of my guests to bring their own buzzer. And if you buz in when I give you the first clue, that's going to be worth three points. If you buz in after you get the second clue, that's worth two points. And the final clue is worth one point. If you're right, when you buz in, you're going to earn
those points. But if you're wrong, you're going to lose that point value. So while there's 30 points available, you got to be fast and you got to be right or else it can add up or subtract up quickly. So I've asked each of my guests to bring their own buzzer. Let's start with Stephen. Let's hear your buzzer. That's good. If you can get closer to the microphone so we could make sure we can hear it. There you go. All right.
