Bid 2023 goodbye in quizzy style! We've seared the sides and kept this episode extra juicy with off-the-wall trivia games and challenges, featuring special guests Dani Siller and Bill Sunderland from Escape This Podcast! It's an epic battle between the hemispheres in Karen's middling challenge. How does a round of Pop Quiz, Hot Shot sound? Or a round of Mop Liz, Goth Shop? Dani quizzes us on the real dangers of the animal kingdom villains, and things go upside down down under. And a mysterious bag of random letters determines our trivia fate.

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!

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.
