Tangents: A Trivia Workshop Podcast

Jeff and Chris have both been on before, so you need no introduction. This was actually a second take for their head-to-head showdown thanks to some technical difficulties, and it was a good one. Enjoy!

Chris Brewer joins us from Ottawa, Illinois in search of questions about professional wrestling and The Office. Chris is a great guy who you may know from our weekly Twitch stream since he’s gifted several of you with subscriptions to the channel! You’ll get to hear him in back-to-back episodes because he’ll be facing off against Jeff Clear in a Tandem Mode game next week. Enjoy!
*Unfortunately, when we recorded this, I was recovering from Covid, so my voice is pretty weak and tired. It get’s better in a couple of weeks.

Chris Parkinson, AKA “Siege” joins us from Wisconsin this week in search of questions on Cop Shows and The West Wing. I’m sure you’ve heard him on other podcasts, but this was his first attempt at a Tangents game. I’m definitely looking forward to having him back!

See you next week for a Tandem Mode game between Chris Brewer and Jeff Clear!

Alan Kreisel joins us this week from Jacksonville, Florida in search of questions about college football team names and 80s movies. If you listen to other trivia podcasts, you’ve probably heard Alan many times before, but this is his first attempt at Tangents. Have a listen and see how it went!

We made it to FIFTY!

Why not make episode 50 a Tandem Mode game? Paul Paquet is back for his third search for It’s Always Sunny and history content- but his first since episode 20, so he was due. He faces off against first-timer, Matt Lamia who was in search of MLB, Friends, and 80s Music. It was a fun game, so I hope you enjoy listening as much as I did hosting.

And since we're celebrating #50, I'll be adding some extra benefits to the Patreon memberships on Halloween night. There's still time to join us and help support the show!

Quick note: Paul will be presenting another great World Trivia Night event on November 1. You should definitely check it out at this link: https://cafott.ca/annual-events-cafo/world-trivia-night/

Coming up next time on Episode 51, we’ll have Alan Kreisel taking his first turn at the game. See you then!

It took 48 episodes for the “Peterson Shuffle” to be employed for the first time, but only one more episode for it to get a second run. Tony Schmit joins us from Minnesota for his first attempt at the game, and he did his homework to craft quite a strategy. You’ll have to listen to see if it paid off.

Coming up next week - IT’S EPISODE 50! We’ll have Paul Paquet and Matt Lamia facing off in a special Tandem Mode game. We’ll also be doing something special for the Patreon crew, so stay tuned for that.

Greg has won big money prizes on the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, and The Chase, but he’s finally made it to the big time…Tangents. You have to listen to Greg play the game in a way no other contestant has to this point.

Thanks, Greg!

Jeff Clear is BACK - and hunting for questions on comic books and The Muppets. In his first appearance (Episode 37), he finished with 12 points, so the mission this time was to pass that mark. Have a listen and see how he did!

THANKS!

Luc is right back for another game - this time a test run for the Tandem Mode version with fellow Patreon supporter, Tim Gomez. This actually isn’t the first time they’ve met though. As it turns out, they were both in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire green room at the same time! They’re obviously outstanding trivia players with Meredith Vieira asking the questions, but what about when there’s much less at stake?

Next up, we’ll have Jeff Clear back in the hotseat for Episode 47.

Luc Leavenworth (Ep. 22) is back to take another swing at the game this week, in search of questions on 90s nostalgia. I always enjoy hearing Luc play, and you will too.
