2 hours 19 minutes

Quizmasters Lee and Marc are joined by Erik (aka fr0w) to ask, suss and answer a general knowledge quiz with topics including Pop Music, Mixed Drinks, Types of Candy, Beveridges, World Records, Classic Songs, Famous Rhythm Sections, History, Baseball, Fruits, Television Creators, Famous Landmarks, Geography and Grammy Awards and more!

Round One

POP MUSIC - Girls Tyme was the original name of what girl group?

MIXED DRINKS - What is the main liquor used in a paloma, complimenting it’s other main ingredient, grapefruit soda?

WORLD RECORDS - What claim can the Thrust SSC make?

CLASSIC SONGS - “Oye Coma Va” was a song written by which American musician, songwriter and producer who has been called “El Rey de los Timbales (The King of the Timbales)”?

Missed Corrections

Our Simpsons crossover knownote was from Kevin Hunt (not Kevin Hart). He said his former boss made the same mistake, so we need to put an end to the confusion here. Kevin Hunt is a legitimate name.

Mo pointed out that I almost sussed the Wilson Brothers (Luke and Owen) for the Dukes of Hazzard.

Andrew with some Muppets Waldorf/Statler/Astoria trivia.

Jeopardyman calls in to tell us to buzz off.

This is due to it being significantly closer to the earth's equator than Mt Everest. In which country would you find Mt Chimborazo?" - submitted by Usha
