Show notes

Time to open your arms and embrace the triumphant return, nay, reincarnation of "Brad Pitt or Lasers" but now with more chicken nuggets!

And we made this episode extra tasty by sprinkling bits from our live panel recording from Sporclecon! Take Karen's quiz about weird lactation in the animal kingdom, and our condolences to the losing teams having a ruff time in the Air Bud Universe.

258: The Hole Truth Oct 17, 2023

Show notes

Holey moley! We're all about trivia about holes this week, starting with Colin's [blank] hole word quiz! Happy learned how to putt, uh oh! Karen dodges windmill blades and laughing clowns to find the origin of mini-golf. Chris pushed a bunch of musicians down a hole, and their cries for help melded into a supercut music round. In trivia, we often get asked what are the highest points and structures in the world, but what about the lowest? Colin finds some strange stuff about the Kola Superdeep Borehole, the deepest hole in the world. Heigh-ho, there's a hole in our boat! So we gotta dominate the H2O word challenge to get all this water out.

255: ALL QUIZ BONANZA! #51 Sep 26, 2023

Show notes

Our brains have successfully recovered from having a grand ol' time at Sporclecon— yes, a TRIVIA convention! So many quizzes in this episode were inspired by jokes and moments from the convention. Our 2023 fall season opener kicks off with ferociously chasing Inky, Blinky, and Pinky in Chris' best-selling video game quiz. We got sports, we got Broadway, we got historical events, and we got Wayne's World while Karen tries to recreate that internal screaming energy by pitting the guys against each other in "Angle of Attack." We navigate the deep meta waters of Wikipedia in Colin's "Disambiguate This!" challenge, and see if you can figure out the secret in the hidden theme quiz.
