We play Learned League, the greatest trivia competition in all the land. Each day, we run through the questions and how we arrived at the answers (or at least, how we arrived at our answers).
No cat, but someone's phone alarm went off.
Fun fact about Bill & Ted: Rufus never tells them his name. They tell themselves his name.
Sorry about all the meowing yesterday, Ian.
George keeps forgetting to put the match day in the title. That's on him.
He didn't even win a pennant with the Yankees, which is truly remarkable.
Oops, keep forgetting to put the match day in the title.
Really had to throw us some Gen X burners to get us back toward "decent", didn't they.
On the plus side, "Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going to Do One (1) Backflip" on Dropout is aMAZing.
The bad questions stand out because most of the questions are good.
Hope you weekend went well, and also that part of your Monday that you devote to beating Thorsten.
Look, some days you're just not going to know about... lots of stuff. But keep pushing.
Some days, they really want you to get them, and some days, you do.
Hello! You look great! Whatever you're doing, keep it up.

Does anyone else hate these last-day-on-a-Monday seasons like we do?
A retroactive beer! And then... today.
Can't be too mad at a lot of these, but we're still going to be. So there.
George doesn't know "threnody" because he's classy, but because it was the name of an X-Men character.
Our Patreon subscribers will hear a review of Virgil's Black Cherry.
George is back from the road, again... it was a whole thing. Don't ask.

Jitney, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Fences, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, The Piano Lesson, Two Trains Running, Seven Guitars, King Hedley II, Gem of the Ocean, and Radio Golf.
Perfectly cromulent set of questions leading into the week.
And there's a whole 'nother lake between the two anyway.
Detroit-style pizza is pretty good. Give it a try if you get the chance.
Always remember, "That's a weird way of saying that..." is usually the biggest clue Thorsten drops.
The rest of the week is dependent on Amanda's voice holding out and George not sinking into trivia-induced melancholy.
Chicago is very far away. Many hours of time zones.
Apologies for the particularly half-buttedness of this one.
We legitimately did not consider next week until the end of this episode.
Generally speaking, Thorsten wants us to get them and gives us a lot of latitude.
One of us is in the red; one of us is in the green.
Talking oneself out of an answer is all too common. Try not to do that.
Sorry about the private rundles. Totally George's fault.
Pretty much definitely staying in our rundles for next season. See you there.
Thanks to a listener for suggesting we put the Match Day in the title.
Yeah, we missed a day. But did you have a party with a bounce house? I didn't think so.
Some days you just don't get the hints. Probably never woulda. But it can still hurt.
Arguably, three and a half women-friendly questions. Could be worse.
Coolidge was kind of an unfair pin, because he was a "former vice president" in the sense that he was the actual president in 1924 because Harding died.
They probably "only" made like $300 million, but then the other teams bought them out for maybe half a billion in 2014.
This podcast is brought to you by a nail on I-75 and a resounding Eff Ohio.
You know how they determined the geographic center of the United States? They cut a big piece of cardboard and moved it around on a pin until it balanced.
Seriously, why were there so many sitcoms that looked like documentaries with no explanations?
