PG’s Playhouse: Puzzles, games, trivia, & general nerdery

14: April Fools (ft. Brent Pope)


Listen Later

" It's important for us to all know and celebrate Sir James Arthur Fool, who created the holiday in 1872."

Joke’s on you, April Fools’ Day... I can be fooled any day of the year. Actor, comedian, and podcaster Brent Pope joins us to explore the mysterious origins of April Fool's Day. We talk about some favorite pranks, and David almost pulls a fast one on me. We also talk about the difficulties of breaking into Hollywood, and how Asian representation in the media has changed over the last couple of decades.

Our game today is called Undercover Word Lover, where every answer is a word composed entirely of two different words.
