Episode 429 - PortmanTWO

Brain Ladle Trivia, B-R-A-I-N-L-A-D-L-E-T-R-I-V-I-A, Brain Ladle Trivia.  Welcome to the first Brain Ladle Trivia Spelling Bee, a quiz of often misspelled words provided to us by Eric.  This time around, the gang has chances to earn a bonus if they can actually spell the answer as well.  Will they rise to the top or go out on the word, CAT.  Tune in to F-I-N-D O-U-T.

On this episode, the Sensei has blessed us with another one of his patented quizzes and he's chosen another round of Geography as the theme.  So, of course, Producer Arthur will have to bring out the bleep button for a few Davo tirades.  Who will make it to the top of the Trivia mountain?

Ross sends us another quiz all about his favorite word for putting two words together to create a new word: Portmanteau.  Will he make frenemies of the crew this episode or will they just chillax by grabbing brunch so they aren't hangry.  Only way to find out is to listen to your favorite podcast.

On this episode, we pull out our Alf pogs, Garbage Pail Kids cards and Run DMC CD's to celebrate the 1980s with a quiz coming to us from Johnson E.  Will the gang be able to hop into their DeLorean and head back in time to conquer this task or will they run, run so far away.  Also, check out a special trivia question exclusively for our Patrons.

Allison, beloved fan and Davo sister-in-law, sends us a mystery theme quiz from across the bond made specifically with her brother-in-law in mind.  Will Davo rise to the occasion or embarrass the family name?

Ross has sent over a quiz spotlighting the six biological kingdoms and the gang is fired up to show their prowess.  How many fungi jokes can we fit into one podcast?  Only one way to find out.

Well, it's back to a good old regular episode with... Oh, it appears that we have a replacement player.  In this episode, previous BLITT (guitar solo) champion Kevin is stepping in for Twy to try a Sensei written quiz dealing with Music... but not music.  Will Kels and Davo be able to defeat the champion or will they be whistling a sad tune (but not a sad tune).

This is the one you've been waiting for.  To celebrate America's 250th birthday, Leigh is delivering one heckuva patriotic quiz focused on all the other time zones other than the main continental four.  Bettina has also lent her quiz writing skills for the Star Spangled Sudden Death.  Let the fireworks begin!

Well, we've made it to the fourth game of our Semiquincentennial Tournament.  Like France, Leigh has gifted us with a monument as a token of her friendship.  Instead of a Statue of Liberty, she has given us another quiz, this time devoted to the Pacific Time Zone of the USA.  And Ian is helping with the Sudden Death round.

In this episode, we continue our celebration of America's 250th birthday with another Semiquincentennial quiz from Leigh with some extra help from Nabs.  And it's time to get on your hiking boots because we are in the mountain time zone.  Will we get purple mountains majesty or purple prose?  Only one way to find out.
