You're listening to an Airwave Media podcast.

Grownups, if there's a child in your life who is interested in, curious about, or fascinated by people and places from history, then my podcast, the past and the curious, might just be a hit in your home.

From the invention of microscopes to world-traveling dogs, to fashions of the 1890s, gold rush ghost towns, and audiences going wild for walking competitions,

we've got a little bit of it all.

Hosted by children's author and museum educator Mick Sullivan, that's me, the show is fun, funny,

engaging, honest, and beloved by kids and parents alike.

Find the past and the curious at all the usual podcast places.

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois, with your hosts, 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.

My name is Neil, and I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's gray, and Wednesday, too.

Thursday, I don't care about you.

It's Friday, I'm in love,

and that is because it is Bloodsport, season three. Thank you to The Cure for officially recognizing

triviality as your favorite trivia podcast. Please don't quote me on that because I don't think we have

enough counsel in our background to help fight that if they come after us. But thank you the Cure

for all the support.

Today is going to be episode five of Bloodsport. Last week was our first international competition in Australia, New Zealand, and today we are going across the pond to the UK and Europe

to meet competitors from Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Italy by way of the United States,

which we'll explain in just a minute. Congratulations to Jay, Brian, Kylie, Matt, and Italy by way of the United States, which we'll explain in just a minute.

Congratulations to Jay, Brian, Kylie, Matt, Eric, Jeannie, Frankie, and Mara for moving on.

But today is all about the UK and Europe, and I'm excited to throw it to myself at the foot of the arena to join Ryan Myers in another competition of Bloodsport.
