Episode Three Hundred - Seventy Two: We Have A New Song, Sort Of Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

Things got completely out of hand on this episode of Mystery Crate.
We kick things off with the murder of the cold open, followed by a wild negotiation over $200, an original song debut, and then… absolute chaos.
The main event: a 2v2 trivia showdown featuring buzzers, confusion, cheating accusations, and zero organization. What should’ve been simple turned into one of the most chaotic games we’ve ever played.
Plus:
-Debut of “Every Rose Has a Luis”
-Millennial movie trivia (that no one could follow)
-Controversial buzzer rules
-Indiana Jones debate gets weird
-$100K hot dog eating hypothetical
Safe to say… this one spirals.
