239: Accessories Pull It All Together Oct 11, 2022

Show notes

We're shining the big, bright, brainy spotlight this week on the... more secondary things in our lives: the add-ons, the trimmings, the enhancements. Colin has prepared an unreal quiz about Barbie accessories that have caused arm-flailing outrage, cringe controversy, and risky recalls. Karen ponders about accessories in the digital world: what are some things people use to spruce up their online space and make it their own? And what does this have to do with the most viewed photograph in the history of humankind? Put on your best scrunchies and slap bracelets because Chris takes us back to December 1989, when the world first witnessed the ultimate video game accessory: the Power Glove. “It’s so bad.”

234: SPECIAL - Lost Episode From the Vault May 10, 2022

Show notes

Can't think of a better way to spend our season finale than time travel back to 2018 when we recorded an All Quiz episode that we forgot about and never aired. So put get those fidget spinners out and get magically whisked away to a time where people tuned into HQ Trivia everyday, including Dana, who crafted a tricky multiple choice inspired by it. A time when NBA teams first debuted the jersey sponsor logo that inspired Colin to craft his hometown sponsor quiz. Karen goes international with a foreign language music round and a hard quiz about global pies. And Chris serves us a very refreshing music quiz.

Be prepared for some amazing outdated references. Four years have never felt so long ago. But whether if it's 2022 or 2018, we're just happy you're here with us.
