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).

See if you can detect where we had to pause for an egregious Rule 3 violation.

Once you realized which side the "heroes" of that "Western in space" show had been on, the allegory got real rancid.

Tangentially, get well soon, Simone Biles.

Thanks to all of you for being a supportive and generous community.

We don't know what weirdo downloaded every episode yesterday, but it got us over 275,000 total downloads, for which we thank you all.

George probably should have known he was on a couple of wrong tracks when four of his answers started with D.

That other store is a "luxury department store", but at least it's an actual place.

How was your weekend? Full of Swedish producers and scandalous clothing?

Those books are "This Way Up: When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters)" by Mark Cooper-Jones and Jay Foreman, and "A History of the World in 47 Borders: The Stories Behind the Lines on Our Maps" by Jonn Elledge.

Why can't we be asked about Krypto? He's a good dog.

We await the morning's scores with bated breath.

Did we forget to put the number in the title yesterday? No, Shut up.

We're not just saying that because the Rams stole Matthew Stafford.

Google would tell you that football (soccer) is the king of sports, but does football have it on their logo? They. Do. Not.

See you in February. Find a Kura Sushi near you. It's worth it.

We cannot recommend Bluey highly enough. Watch it now and call it Olympic preparation.

Meetings suck and should not be allowed to interfere with one's online trivia league.

It feels like we're more negative about the question writing this season, doesn't it.

Deleted from this episode: A full two minutes of yelling at the cat.

Do we sound backwards? We recorded backwards. But not in heels.

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.
