You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois, with your host's Ken, Matt, Neil, and Jeff.

This is Triviality.

Hello and welcome to Triviality, the show, where a lack of serious, since meets a little bit of knowledge.

My name's Matt, and I am kicking out the episode, which means that Neil and Jeff are, no, Neil and Ken are dead or not at this episode.

So I'm laughing, Matt, apologies, because you asked me right before we recorded if it was the game or the show, and I told you it was a show, and I'm wrong. It's the game. Well, welcome to the game where lack of serious. This is some of that lack of series. It's like 450 episodes, and I still don't know what our tagline is. It is too many. My brain has gone too much. How are you today, Jeff? You know, I'm doing well. Matt, I appreciate it. It was a long day for me, but I think you and our inspired team name, which we'll get to in a minute here, had much more of an exciting day. Because, you know, I was just sending emails back and forth. Yeah. Yeah, it's, you know, it's pumpkin, it's pumpkin season at the conglomerate. No, is it? Okay. And that means I don't ever get to go home. Yeah, I'll hail the mighty pumpkin, which is not pumpkin. Yeah, the pumpkin king. Yeah. It's actually the conglomerate, not Jackskellington. Wow. I know. Breaking news. news. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, it's just going to be me and you, so we are going to be playing as a team, but we are not playing as nobody because that would be too easy.

I think we need some competitors.

It would also be terribly boring.

Yeah, for everybody involved.

So what do we got?

Yep, I will start by introducing.

We've got a couple Oakland five patrons with us today who will be guesting as their own team.

And I'll start with Patrick. Patrick, why don't you go ahead and introduce yourself. Tell us a little bit about you and, you know, where you're from, what your hobbies are and whatever you'd like.

All right. Thanks for having me, guys. Patrick, I live in Central New Jersey and with my wife and two teenage boys.

I'm a project manager for a very large healthcare company headquartered here in New Jersey.

I've got a lot of hobbies and I've been an active birder, bird watching for about 25 years now.

Folks on the podcast can't see it, but it was all bird books behind me.

What's the best bird you ever saw? Oh, get that question a lot. I don't know. I like all kinds of birds and, you know, it's, it's, rarity is interesting. People like to see rare birds, but I'll say my favorite bird is probably a swallow-tailed kite, which is like a hawk with a big long fork-shaped tail. There you go. Mostly native to Florida, but they show up in New Jersey occasionally. I play video games. I play board games, and that's actually how I met Brandon. Well, I mean, Patrick's doing all the work for me. Introducing our next contestant. So, Brandon is also, you know, an unlawfulclified patron coming to us from New Jersey, Brandon.

Welcome to the show.

Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Yeah, it's a lot like Patrick, actually.

I also live in Central New Jersey with my wife and two kids, play a lot of board games with Patrick, work in software development, which pretty boring.
