    Hi. Really enjoying this. Doing a deep dive now. Just heard Kels from BLT! Nice surprise. . The pace is such that I can actually play along. And being older then most if not all the players I know a lot!

  • One of the best

    Anytime the Speas Brothers get together they create awesome stuff. This one, chefs kiss. Come for the trivia, holla for the hosts. And drop some patreon bucks to get a ton of extra trivia. Do it…do it now.

  • It's okay, I like the premise but can be cringe at times like when the host sings. Stop singing dude, so annoying! Also contestants ask three times a show to repeat the question making the flow bad.
