Madeleine Garvey is next up in the hot seat this week, in search of questions about Video Games and Taylor Swift. She's one of our regular players on the Tuesday night Twitch stream with the Bad Mustache team, so if you'd like to see how you would fair in a real head-to-head matchup, join us in real time every Tuesday night at 8pm Central!

Ali Baig is a ton of fun to talk to, so we ended up chatting about the quiz business for more than 30 minutes before we even got to the "First Five". For the sake of time, I trimmed that out of this episode, but it may show up in a special episode soon, so stay tuned.

Ali is the founder of Baig of Tricks Entertainment in the burbs of Chicago and a real raconteur. It was an utter blast hanging out with him, so you can expect future visits.

Check out the links below for more from Ali (and me).

First there was Edwards, then came Dippel, now episode 15 brings us our third Tim - Tim Gomez! It was good to finally put a face and voice to the name behind Where's My Elephant/incoherant9 on our Twitch games - and I learned quite a thing about some Peanuts characters as a bonus!

Brian Waldron has been a regular on our streaming quizzes since the early days of lockdowns with his team, Bok Bok Bitch. Now he tries his hand at building a Tangents quiz and I had a great time watching it happen.

Enjoy!

Tim Dippel is a familiar voice in the trivia podcasting community, as half of the hosting duo behind the Frenemy Trivia Podcast, and as part of the PTE Network. And because that doesn't keep him busy enough, he also hosts The Perfect Ten Podcast on the ThunderQuack network. Check out links to all of those things here:

Santa Monica isn't just the home of America's most famous pub quiz. It's also the home of this week's guest, John Liu. John is part of several online quiz leagues, and took advantage of the abundance of internet quizzing during the last four years to become much more proficient at pop culture trivia.

His expert subject though is video games. Plenty of content on that subject in the database - but was John able to track it down?

Another online regular tries their hand at Tangents this week. Mike Brownstein, one of the Ukrainian Trivia Resistance members heard that there was no spelling required for the podcast version of the game, and used that to his advantage. Mike is a great guy, and a great quizzer...and apparently deep into non-trivial things like disc golf. Be sure to check his LinkTree below for more info on that!

Paul Paquet is one of the best - and most prolific trivia writers on the planet. Having Paul play the game made me realize what it must be like for the chefs on Kitchen Nightmares when Gordon Ramsay is trying their Beef Wellington.

He is the man behind The Ottawa Trivia League, and The Trivia Hall of Fame, and for many years has provided the questions for the annual World Trivia Night in Ontario. He's also a budding thespian, so be on the lookout for Paul at the Oscars soon.

Another ProgChamp takes a shot at building a quiz this week.

On another note, on the LinkTree page I've added a link to the event page for the annual Crime Stoppers Trivia Night fundraiser that I do every year. It's a large scale event for a ridiculously low ticket price, so if you can make it to Central Illinois on January 27th, please join me.
