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

This is Triviality.

Music Matt, Neil, and Jeff, this is Triviality. Hello and welcome to Triviality, the game where a lack of seriousness meets a little bit of knowledge.

My name is Ken. I'm here in the studio with my beloved Jeff. How you doing?

Good. I'm a man full of carbonated drink, so I'm very happy. Yeah? And what's what's going on in your world right now besides the carbonated drinks? Not much. Didn't you just get back from a trip? I did. I left town for a few days. Tell me. I wasn't even supposed to be here today, but, you know. Just like in clerks? Just like in clerks.

But, you know, when you're called up to the big leagues, you know, you take your shot. So here I am, you know. Is that how it works? I guess. I was never demoted either. We do that every week to Jeff. He doesn't know if he's going to make the show. He doesn't know if he's going to make the official roster. He gets a call five minutes before.

Well, the voice you're hearing online there is the inventor of the copper bracelets. Matt, what's up? It's not a scam, I swear. You got nothing to say about, you got no defense? No, I have no defense. It's not a scam. That's what I said. That's all? Yeah.

Okay.

I think the defense itself. Okay. The results. I don't know if they do anything, but no, triviality has no official comment on the copper bracelets. Not a sponsor yet. We do have a great episode lined up for you people today. First, we have our guest. He's not a robot supporter on Patreon.

We thank him for that.
