Welcome to another engaging episode of "Stuff I Never Knew," the trivia game show podcast hosted by Jeff Revilla. On this episode, we have three fantastic contestants: Laurie, Wize, and Gerald who are here to test their knowledge in a fun and dynamic trivia competition. Broadcasting on the Armstrong neighborhood channel, Jeff sets the stage for an intense game. The familiar theme music plays, and the contestants prepare for their first round of questions. The energy is high, and we’re ready to dive into the world of trivia where knowing the unknown can lead to victory.

In Round 1, the game kicks off with a straightforward question format, "Brand of motorcycle or golf equipment?" Contestants are asked to identify whether a given brand name belongs to a motorcycle or golf equipment company. Laurie starts strong, correctly identifying Ducati as a motorcycle brand. Wize follows suit with Callaway as golf equipment, and Gerald keeps the streak going with Pinnacle as a golf brand. The round continues quickly with more brands like Husqvarna and Precept, with most questions answered correctly except for Wize, who mistakenly identifies Precept as a motorcycle brand. At the end of the round, Laurie and Gerald are tied with three points each, while Wize trails with one. Wize gets to choose the order for the next round, setting Gerald up to go first.

Round 2 introduces the "hot seat" format where each contestant individually answers questions in their chosen categories. Gerald picks entertainment, demonstrating his deep knowledge with perfect answers, earning him maximum points. Laurie follows with the music category, wisely leveraging her expertise from her music podcast to secure seven points out of a possible eight. Wize, with products as his category, scores three out of three on the main questions but struggles with the bonus question. By the end of the round, Gerald takes a slight lead with Wize gaining some ground and Laurie closely following. This sets the stage for the final and most unpredictable round of the game.

The final round is a "Who am I? What am I? Where am I?" segment featuring vague clues that get easier as they go. Contestants can buzz in at any time but risk losing points if they answer incorrectly. In an impressive display of quick thinking, Laurie buzzes in on the first clue multiple times, correctly identifying answers like "The Moon," "Coco Chanel," and "Nelson Mandela," securing her lead. Wize and Gerald also make their moves with answers about hurricanes and MRI machines, but the consistent accuracy and quick responses from Laurie ensure her victory. Wize manages to make a comeback towards the end, but it's Laurie's game as she finishes with a significant lead.
