The Trivia Tavern

Former game show contestants Dino Alexander, Jason Block, and game show writer Gordon Pepper face off in our first Triple Threat Match.

Trivia Tavern contestants Benjamin Ziek (Episode #3) and Ethan Musulin (Episode #9) return to the Tavern for some bantering, gaming, and commentary. Ben and Ethan pull from their own experiences and share the ins and outs of television game shows and how to become a contestant. We also go on tangents about the movie Battleship and call the action of the World’s Most Dangerous Sport.

ON TAP: NHL and hockey trivia, a new word game called War of the Words, foreign language cover songs, and Last Call.
