Episode 70 - Trivia

Episode 70 - Trivia

2023-01-25
Download

Paul is back in the studio with Ben this week to talk about his passion for the Moops, which is NOT the sound produced by a cow after making a mistake!  We’re joking, but if you know “the Moops” reference is from the 47th episode of Seinfeld, “The Bubble Boy,” then you are probably very familiar with this week’s word… and a standout at most parties.  To Paul’s delight, the show is liberally peppered with bits of trivia, and there’s a lot to talk about.  Along with the aforementioned  “knowledge nuggets,” topics discussed include: the board game Trivial Pursuit, the “Jeopardy!” game show and it’s current host drama, dictionary facts and differences, bar and handheld device trivia games, and a brief history of (and a sincere outpouring of love for) Jackbox Games!

 

00:00:21 - Ben calls it THE Trivial Pursuit, and Paul addresses Ben’s misconception

00:03:08 - Gameshow aspirations, the computer that could play Jeopardy, and other oddities

00:06:47 - Memorizing things, they don’t support the program, and entomology

00:08:57 - Distracted by kitty love, three roads meeting, the value of trivia, and one more thing

00:11:05 - Dictionary differences, the word literally, the OED, and why buy the cow…

00:13:32 - Ben splits hairs, audience dependence, and little known facts  are cool

00:16:35 - Paul’s passion for trivia, generating interest in topics, and trivia is for everybody

00:20:02 - Trivial Pursuit… trivia, born of Scrabble, a trivia putdown, and troglodytes 

00:23:00 - Ben’s story of gaining respect through trivia, Waiting for Godot, and Ken Jennings

00:27:51 - Cutting out the talking nonsense, and does Ben sound like Ray Romano?

00:29:43 - The host drama, Ken’s friendship with Alex, and be careful what you say

00:33:48 - Sharing the “Jeopardy!” host role, Ken’s podcast “Omnibus,” and NTN trivia

00:36:08 - Ben’s Onyx song reference, automated bar trivia, and Splam11’s trivia nemesis

00:39:41 - Paul’s sports trivia niche, learning facts on Jeopardy, and Jackbox at game nights

00:43:05 - Fortune cookies, Paul’s issue with Trivia Crack, online trivia leagues, and the JCU

00:45:45 - Ben with the trivia league assist, say no to trivia drugs, and Gottleib pinball

00:47:49 - A brief history of (and some trivia about) Jellyvision and Jackbox Games

00:52:05 - Paul’s recent experience with “Trivia Murder Party,” and Jackbox game diversity 

00:54:40 - Fibbage, and a remarkably common yet revolutionary user interface 

00:57:36 - Ben’s experience with the game Tee KO in a What’s Good Games livestream

00:59:47 - Paul’s recent interest in art, “Complete the List” podcast, and closing thoughts
