It's Chris Played by Charles Berman's last epsiode before transforming for a couple of months from host to caller (he is honored with a knighthood from Baron Jacob von Manstud), and he, The One Handed Bandit, and Dr. Kaboom are joined in the studio by the peerless musical expertise of the one and only Shane Thorne. Apprentice Jackie pays the panel a welcome surprise visit, and a caller named Sweetness makes an impressive return to calling The Mad Trivia Party after a gap of only fourteen years.

The One Handed Bandit has once again misplaced her health, but Apprentice Jackie is here to fill her shoes, bringing a set of 1980s-television-related questions that by being definable as "popular culture" baffle Mad Trivia's regular callers. She, Chris Played by Charles Berman, Dr. Kaboom, and all-American superhuman, invincible action demagogue Dallas Hogan, meanwhile, must find a recipient for a set of three Bible card games, and it becomes apparent that a new caller may be challenging Mad Trivia's juggernauts of Emily and the Baron.
