Ever wondered if you'd rather be hit on by someone significantly older or younger than you? Drew and Mike tackle this amusing hypothetical while diving deep into the world of random knowledge that makes their trivia show a two-decade success.

The dynamic duo explores the expanding landscape of women's professional basketball, revealing which five cities will soon welcome WNBA teams. Their conversation seamlessly transitions into a global culinary adventure, challenging each other to identify famous dishes from England's hearty bangers and mash to Portugal's distinctive bacalhau. Food lovers will appreciate the hosts' personal anecdotes about these international delicacies, including Mike's surprising affinity for the notoriously pungent lutefisk.

Cookie enthusiasts might be shocked to learn about Oreo's absolute market dominance, capturing a staggering one-fifth of all cookie sales in America. This revelation sparks a charming childhood story about elementary school teachers named Amos and Duncan who would periodically treat their students to Famous Amos cookies and Dunkin' Donuts.

Sports fans will enjoy testing their knowledge alongside Mike as Drew quizzes him on Division I college hometowns, from well-known universities to more obscure institutions. The episode rounds out with a periodic table challenge and concludes with a touching discussion of Lou Gehrig's famous retirement speech, offering a poignant reminder about gratitude even in life's most challenging moments.

Whether you're a trivia buff or simply enjoy entertaining conversations filled with random facts and good-natured ribbing, this episode delivers knowledge, laughs, and the occasional profound thought. As Drew and Mike remind us: keep a questioning attitude and don't put up with trivial bullshit—life's too short.

June 28, 2025 Honey, Nut, Cheerio! : A Bee’s Final Countdown
Send us a text
Ever wonder what happens when 100 bikers descend upon a restaurant? Drew's weekend managing the chaos offers a hilarious glimpse into an overwhelmed kitchen, hour-long wait times, and the surprise appearance of professional arm wrestlers. Yes, apparently that's a real job—complete with certified judges!

When Mike spots a suspicious car with expired temporary tags lurking near their neighborhood, his inner detective emerges. After snapping flash photos of the vehicle, he returns from a quick walk to find it mysteriously vanished. Coincidence? Probably not. The hosts speculate about neighborhood security and the odd places people choose to park.

The conversation shifts to a fantasy that many of us entertain: winning the lottery. Drew and Mike calculate that the current $243 million jackpot would translate to approximately $73,000 weekly after taxes for 30 years. But the real question becomes who would you tell? Family, close friends, or absolutely no one? The hosts debate the merits of secrecy versus transparency when sudden wealth changes everything.

Throughout the episode, trivia games showcase the hosts' knowledge across diverse subjects. Challenge yourself to identify movie franchises from subtitles alone, or test your geography skills with US states whose postal abbreviations match their first and last letters. Perhaps the most memorable moment arrives with the shocking revelation about honeybee reproduction—a fact so bizarre it spawned the episode's most quotable joke.

Join us for this blend of casual conversation, surprising facts, and laugh-out-loud moments. And don't forget to consider our question for next week: If you could choose any all-expenses-paid adrenaline adventure, what would it be?
