I still remember attending my first Trivia night back in 2013. A group of my coworkers were discussing some options for happy hour venues and when we saw that a spot down the street was hosting a Trivia Night, we decided to go for it. I was instantly hooked. When the opportunity arose to join the Last Call team, I was ecstatic. Working with a talented and creative team to spread my love of trivia across the country-what could be better! I currently manage sales and outreach in our west coast areas. Outside of work, I love to travel and am also an avid equestrian and Disney movie lover.All Posts

Podcast Episode 45 Round 1

Round One

 

First up, we have a Technology Trivia question about a telecom company that uses a colorful name for their top-of-the-line plan. Did you know that actress Hedy Lamarr is often called the “mother of Wi-Fi” for her work on the development of frequency hopping technology in the 1940s?

 

Next, an Animals Trivia question challenges the Team to name the three-letter word that is used to refer to the young of several animals, including rabbits and raccoons. On the topic of baby animals, elephants have one of the longest adolescent stages in the animal kingdom, often spending up to a third of their lives “at home.”

 

The first round concludes with a Geography Trivia question about the three states that meet at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers. While neither of those rivers is in vying for the title, there is some contention over whether the Nile River or the Amazon River is actually the longest in the world.

 

Bonus Question

 

Today’s Bonus Question is a follow-up to the Geography question from the first round. The Team is asked to guess the total land area in square miles of the three states named in the answer. This is a tough one for the Team, as they debate their methodologies. Would your guess have come closer to the exact answer?

First up, we have a Celebrities Trivia question that challenges the Team to identify the stage name of the actor and rapper whose real name is Chris Bridges. One of his film appearances was in the Academy Award-winning movie, Crash, which is a great reminder to check out our very first podcast episode for more Trivia about award-winning celebrities!

 

Next, we have a Food Trivia question about the Luther Burger, a sandwich named after Luther Vandross. For all you foodies out there, here’s a quick look at the origins of the ultra-popular sweet treat, chocolate!

 

Round Two wraps up with a Toys Trivia question about the brand known for making classic toys like Glo Worm, Weebles, and the Sit n’ Spin. Bonus Toy Trivia: Can you guess which celebrity was the first to be immortalized with a Barbie doll fashioned after them?
