203: 0%

A surprise intro launches a discussion on old television shows which inadvertently bridges into an X-rated movie from the 70s. After quickly veering the car off that road, we get into trivia. We do not do well. How are we supposed to know about movies where actors died but really didn't die or who the Seven Mules are. Then we get into the FDR, but first, side note: Flanders.

202: Fix It All the Time

After ranking luncheon meats, we get into the trivia. And it is a twofer Tuesday today as we go through two cards in the Trivial Persuit Family Edition series. We dunk on both. In the FDR, we encounter a strange creature that impresses and gives us ponder.

201: Whipping Cat What?

Before getting back into the trivia routine, Michael asks Jeremy to recount an incident from his youth. The memory, or rather a memory, from it has plagued him for years. Then it is trivia time, where we are disappointed in ourselves for knowing so much about pre-2000 pop culture. Finally, we get into the FDR, where a balanced brew slakes thine thirst.

200: Belchertown

Welcome to the 200th episode of American Pale Males!  We celebrate by kicking Michael off FDR duties and bringing in a few guest hosts. Yes, this was... intentional... Actually, we had an interesting FDR from Jeremy in our backlog and we wanted to bring it out. This one is short and sweet.

199: 1968

Today's trivia comes from the Baby Boomer edition of Trivial Persuit, bringing up topics that the hosts are tangentially aware of. Roy Clark, Richard Nixon, and Jimi Hendrix all pop up in the conversation. Then for the FDR, a simple smoked beer causes much deliberation and hemming and hawing.

198: Cabbage and Hot Dogs

We open up with with trivia from 2002, though most questions really don't show their age. Topics covered include trigger happy Germans, superfans, and Jeremy & the gang wolfing down hot dogs. Though superficially the result does not sound impressive, remember these are non-cabbage trained individuals and that hot dogs are kind of nasty. For the FDR, hey you, celebrate the season with this seasonal classic.

197: Peops? Peeps? Pipys?

We open up with a little trivia from the 1980s, but not necessarily about the 1980s. Topics covered include the Wu dialect, everybody going to Rick's, Peops?, and more devastating Jeremy injuries. For the FDR, we have the pleasure of trying a former brag that was done by Michael. Bojack Horseman somehow works his way into the analysis of the brew.
