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 game where a lack of seriousness meets a little bit of knowledge. What you got there, Neil? My name is Neil. He's eating a little cookie. I'm just, Neil. Me too. Jeff is too. Ken was eating some vegan cinnamon rolls. Yeah, welcome, everyone. Yeah, I'm just eating some delicious pastries from Dobos Delights. A bake shop. Not a sponsor. Our friend Riley, who was on the show recently, graciously sent us just a bunch of wonderful bakery from Dobos Delights. And we can't thank him enough. It was packed especially for us by Maria, a nice little signature, which is a nice personal touch. So thank you, Maria, for this packing job here. Thank you, Riley. Yeah, thank you, Riley. Delicious. Yeah, so kind of you. One of our, one of our patrons. So thank you so much for all of your support and sending us these great pastries that have fueled us today. The way you started that, it really sounded like a cut in ad, like, oh, just eating a cookie here. Yeah, it did. It did. But it was, it was live. I like how Neil's version of eating a cookie is taking a bite and mine is polishing off the whole cookie before the intro's over. The cookie is very good. I'm going to try and find ways maybe during the swing round to eat them when no one else hears it because it's edited out. But yeah, thank you to Riley for that. And Matt, unfortunately, was not able to sample these wonderful pastries today. But if he's here in town, we'll give him some. Otherwise, they're all ours. That's right. We told him he could come and get him. They're here for him. Yeah. But thanks, Matt, for not being here, but we'll see you next time next week. Thanks for not being here. For your cookies, Matt. Yeah, thanks for cookies. But we have some very special guests with us today. We're super excited to play with today. We're going to introduce our guest player today coming to us from the Orlando area, Oakland Five supporter on Patreon. Super excited to have them here. Welcome, Matt. How are you, Matt? I'm doing great. How are you guys today?

Doing wonderful. We thought Matt wasn't here. We've got to replace it with a better, Matt.

So we're happy to have you here. Tell us a little bit about yourself.

Yeah, I live in the Orlando-ish area. By day, I'm an IT manager for a bank.

And by night, I like to pretend I'm better at trivia than I am.

What a perfect place to pretend that you're better at trivia than you are.

Yeah, we've been doing that for years. And you got the nice Sporkel t-shirt on, which is nice.

So did you go to SporkelCon? I did, yes. I saw you in passing during the battle of the brains. I tried to wait around to introduce myself and say hi, but you were, you were holding court, so I, well, were we on the

busy floor after, uh, yeah, it was after it was all over. It was hard to move around down there,

but yeah, sorry, we miss you. We'll be sure to see at the next event, hopefully though. Yeah, I'm definitely getting my tickets on the 29th when they go on sale. Well, yeah, you'll be here in our neck of the woods, so we'll definitely have to be hanging out. Yeah, haven't been to Chicago yet, looking forward to it. Oh, yeah, you're going to love it. Yeah, we're excited to have it. Well, thank you for joining us today. You're going to partner with Ken today. And it looks like your team name.

We kind of decided beforehand since you are replacing Matt. Your team name today, and for the listeners, it's going to be a mouthful. New and definitely not improved, Ken and Matt 2.0 system downgrade. See, I disagree with the downgrade. The whole aspect of that. That's what Matt said. so I just want to be clear that came from Matt.

Yeah, that's, yeah.

I mean, if I can't be self-deprecating, that's just, whole aspect of that. That's what Matt said. So I just want to be clear that came from Matt.

Yeah, I mean, if I can't be self-deprecating, that's just not me. I think Matt is a master of reverse psychology because he's saying downgrade now, but you guys are going to beat us really bad. And then he's going to say, see, he was an upgrade. The Matt robot has been upgraded with laser beam eyes. Laser beam eyes, yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, we're excited to have you here.

And then Jeff and I will partner today.

And unfortunately, Jeff, you said we're excited to have you here.

And then Jeff and I will partner today.

And unfortunately, Jeff, you said you're in a stupor. Is that right? I'm just a little tired this morning. So I'm appreciating the coffee and pastries. Is it a stupor? Is it a fugue state? We'll call it a stupor. Is it a... I prefer you stuck in a quagmire?

Not a quagmire.
