Apologies again - my voice was still a wreck when we recorded this!

Fellow IT Guy, Matt Lamia joins me this week from Winter Springs, Florida for his first solo trip, and he was searching for Major League Baseball, the TV show Friends and 1980s music. At the time of recording, I was recovering from an illness, so please excuse my voice!

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!

*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.

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.
