Chris Played By Charles Berman, Dallas Hogan, Karl Bernhardsen, and DJ Yaggermeister manage to convince a late Apprentice Jackie to come to the studio -- where everyone just manages to get their questions out through bites of the peanut brittle so kindly provided by Daniel Jan. Chris Played By Charles Berman wonders why the webcam hasn't been as popular lately and announces the URL, only to bear witness to a series of chaotic and uproarious events that could only be described as a four-way impromptu teleconference between panelists and callers. With a Rubik's cube and sharpies.

How have we become a source of group-reaction sound effects? Is it the panel or callers or can better sing "Don't Stop Believing" to the tune of the Russian national anthem? Who is willing to eat sixty-year-old canned swastika soup? Is it safe to spray paint yourself with Mad Trivia-related imagery? Listen and discover!

To celebrate thirty years of Binghamton's only (and best!) call-in trivia show, Chris Played by Charles Berman, Apprentice Jackie, Dr Kaboom, and The Other Philip Glass gathered for three hours on a Friday night with founding host from 1979 Mitch Berkey, 1980-1984 host Brian J. "The J Stands for Genius" Droogan, and longtime engineer and panelist of the 1990s and 2000s The Con (formerly known as Consuela the Cuban Whore), who comes enhanced with endorsements for some highly suspect corporate sponsors! Suspiciously missing until two hours in is Dallas "Chump" Hogan? Is he avoiding his fateful meeting with Mitch Berkey just because he doesn't want to get killed?

Amid clips from the past, self-indulgent discussion of the past of the show, and lots of terrible jokes, listen for calls from players, panelists, and hosts such as The High Mistress of Mosh, Barak Blackburn, Buzzbomb, Red Dog, Velvet Jones, Reginald Spothmeister, Amy, Rocketsnatch, Expletive Deleted, Apollo Jr, the Tape of Ethan, Mr. Dial Tone, and more! For the middle hour we switch back to the original format, with Mitch running the board and taking calls.

Who will win the grand prize of actually getting to run the show next week? Who the hell is Cousin Petey? Who can sing the Velvet Jones theme song? Are we really engaged in insignifica? How can abusing children help YOU? What's with those sound effects? Listen and discover!
