HAPPY THANKSGIVING 2022! We are so thankful to our patrons and our listeners. Wishing you and yours Happy Holidays!
We play our very own version of Jeopardy on this year's Thanksgiving trivia episode.
Using the fabulous book, The Ultimate book of Pub Trivia by the Smartest Guy in the Bar : over 300 rounds and more than 3,000 questions by Austin Rogers, Sal has selected some trivia questions from the extensive volume.
Who will prevail in this year's matchup? Listen to find out.

Jim Ward is back on the podcast to bring us This Week in History...which includes the end of the Cold War, the creation of the U.S. Time Zones, the Gettysburg Address, and the "birth" of Mickey Mouse.
