It's Pronounced "Res·tau·ra·teur": Trivia with a Chief Trivia Editor

About this episode

The episode features Aaron Retka, Trivia Mafia's chief editor, discussing trivia rounds and participating in various trivia games.

We're keeping the fun in-house today: Our guest is Aaron Retka, Trivia Mafia's chief editor and a man knows how to write a trivia round, sort of remembers how to spell "restaurateur," and definitely remembers an uncomfortable amount about Middle Earth. Chuck kicks things off with a company-building exercise called "Two's Company" (02:51). In honor of National Pet Day, he offers up a set of "Serpentine Stumpers" (17:20). Then Sean tries his best to stump at least one of Chuck, Beth and Aaron (24:14). Finally Aaron turns the tables, bringing his own rounds to our hosts, both of which are called "Chuck Sean"(33:03). And Sean closes things out with a round about "PP"s (50:43). 👉 No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a trivia podcast produced by the world’s greatest trivia company, Trivia Mafia , in the great state of Minnesota. 📍 Find a Trivia Mafia trivia night near you! 📥 Sign up for “The Morning Rounds ,” Trivia Mafia’s amazing daily Trivia trivia newsletter! 🫶 Join our Patreon for exclusive member perks and other goodies!
