Welcome to episode 165 of "Stuff I Never Knew," where host Jeff Revilla takes us on another thrilling ride of trivia fun with contestants Samantha, Jennifer, and Karen. This episode is broadcast on the Armstrong Neighborhood Channel and promises to be an exciting matchup of knowledge and quick thinking. Each contestant brings unique backgrounds and expertise, making for an intriguing game show. Samantha, an author, and speaker from Dallas, Jennifer, a CEO of Coje Consultants based in Chicago, and Karen, an author and doctoral student from Oakland, New Jersey, battle it out over three rounds for the ultimate trivia champion title.

In Round 1, contestants face the challenge of differentiating between titles of MTV shows and Goosebumps books. Samantha starts off on a rocky note by incorrectly guessing "Scream School" as an MTV show, but later redeems herself by correctly identifying "You can't scare me" as Goosebumps. Jennifer initially guesses wrong but quickly recovers by correctly identifying multiple Goosebumps titles like "Fright Camp" and "Calling all creeps." Karen showcases her keen eye by correctly guessing "Brain Juice" and "Legend of lost legend" as Goosebumps, but like her counterparts, she also has a misstep with "The beast from the east." By the end of this round, Karen and Jennifer lead with two points each, while Samantha trails with one point.

In Round 2, the contestants continue their trivia adventure with Jennifer kicking off the "Tribons Game." Jennifer smoothly connects "Truffle, Morel, Sep" as mushrooms and correctly identifies "Chocolate rice, Tapioca" as puddings and "Slip joint, Locking grip, Needle nose" as pliers. The "Name Five Challenge" mixes up the tempo as Jennifer names four out of five fall foods and drinks before the clock runs out. Karen shines through this round by successfully identifying several trivia questions related to historical events, board games, and geography. Notably, she accurately names five types of fall clothing. The competition intensifies with Samantha giving strong performances by correctly identifying various subjects, including answering a gaming segment by determining things that are "laid."

Finally, the buzzer-based final round brings heightened tension as the contestants race to answer questions for extra points. Samantha, Jennifer, and Karen bring their creativity with fun buzzers. With fast-paced engagement, Karen manages to pull ahead with correct identifications like "Monopoly" as the game published in 1935 and "Philadelphia" from a location-based question. Jennifer catches up by correctly identifying "Volga River" and "Roger Federer," while Samantha notably adds to her score with strong answers despite starting with a penalty for earlier incorrect guesses in the game. The final scoreboard reflects Karen as the trivia champion with 13 points, f

picnic. Waste
eggs. Eggs
is incorrect. With baskets. Picnic baskets.
Easter baskets. Waste baskets. Oh, man. People waste
eggs. They. That's true. If you can make a case, the producer will
give you in a point. But I think, I think you can only claim two

(12:20):
of the three. He's giving me the thumbs down. Good try though. We,
we do love a good argument on this show. All right, our next
one. Oh, are we stuck in with egg? I thought we were
still on the eggs, bricks and
carpet. What ties together
eggs? Bricks.

(12:46):
I don't know why chicken comes to head, but that has nothing to do with
carpet and bricks. So chickens can lay
bricks. They can lay carpets. They can lay eggs
on carpets and bricks. So my answer is
chickens. Oh, well,
the producer is going to give me a weird. I think

(13:08):
he's saying yes, you said all the right words. They are things that are
laid. Laid is correct. We'll give you the point for that one. You were right
there. A lot of times that's just nerves given that answer. But you
did say, you say all them could be laid. So here we go. Our
last one. Epic.

(13:31):
Caribbean. Caribbean is
incorrect. These are, these were record store names.
Island Records, Virgin Records. Epic Records. That was, that was
a little bit of a throwback to the 90s. Here we go.
Now, Samantha, your five point bonus
question. I'm going to give you the category name five

(13:53):
outdoor activities you can enjoy during this great
fall weather. And go
running.
Racquetball, pickleball,
jogging, not swimming. It's too cold. That's
it. I think you did gave seven. You cut out a lot. You

(14:13):
said I saw volleyball, racquetball, running.
Producer does confirm five. You ran the board on that one.
Five for five points. Let's take a look at that scoreboard and see how
our contestants are doing tonight. It is a very close game.
Only three points from first to third place. Karen is
leading the way right now with 10. Let's go to that

(14:36):
final round. And in this round, it's Going to
start off with a very vague question. Who am I? What am I?
Where am I? And I'm going to use these videos to reveal
some clues to you. Now, when you think you know it, you're going to
want to buzz in and try to get the points. Because if you buzz in
on the first clue, that's worth three points. If

(14:57):
you. If you buzz in on the second clue, that's worth
two points. And the last clue is worth one point. When you buzz
in and you're right, you're going to earn those points. But when you're
wrong, we're going to subtract those points. There's no
penalty. You can buzz in as many times as you want. You're not
locked out. So if you want to try to guess twice, you're

(15:19):
more than welcome to do that. And I've asked each of my
guests to bring their own buzzers. This is a favorite part of the show
because everybody's so creative. Let's start with Karen.

Are we testing buzzers or buzzing in? Now, before we get. Before I to
accept any of your buzzers, which I love, the enthusiasm.

(16:29):

pictures. The pictures will not always line up with
the question. So producer won't let me accept that without me telling you
that first. So let's go to the first. What? You've all been warned.
