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.

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
guess I don't know what you call it when you blow up the game. Back
to Kathy.
I'll say
the
are not on the list.
Dominic, three remaining. Can you run the board? Okay,
well, I'm taking notes here. 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

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. We're resetting.
Babies. Babies are
definitely. I'm going to give you a double.
All right, Dominic's double eliminated. Over to
Richard. I'm going to play off what you said about home
cooking. I'm going to say cookies. Cookies
are not
on the list. Kathy has a chance to run
all ten again or we're going to reset. I'm going to say coffee.
Coffee is wait.
Coffee is number four. You
can keep going. It's a game. Now, Kathy, you can keep answering as
many as you can get. I'm going to say roses.
Roses are
not on the list. Well, you got the only point in that round. We
had fresh air, vanilla, barbecue,
coffee, bacon, rain,
campfires, gasoline, melted
chocolates and freshly cut grass would have been
some of the other choices. That means let's go to that
scoreboard. We had dominic with nine, Kathy with four in
second place, and Richard with three. We're going
to the hot seat. All right. We're going to
round two. We're going to put Richard into the hot seat.

there. You should be. In this

show called Bikes and hikes that airs on
Armstrong neighborhood channel two. And sometimes we have
visitors come. And our friend Jeff came one time
and pushed me off my bike and I fell on my head.

wrongdoing. I've contacted my attorney and
he says, don't worry about it.

I help people write books. I take them from piece

and standing on stages. And that's what motivation champs does. And
overall, we just try to share positive content, like being
