INTERESTING MOMENTS

On a gambler’s question asking for a sport, one team took the time to write down 6 sports and then asked “is it any of these”… and got one of them right.

There was a Welsh language question which a player who was FROM Wales got wrong.

Who starred in Black Swan? The Rock and Kevin Hart. Well… they have range.

And a loss for our leaders made our quarterly tournament much closer.

Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 16 August 2026

So it seems that after being “silenced” on the radio, Kyle Sandilands is setting up a podcast, which costs $99 per year to access. (And it turns out it’s already hit a wall with “techincal issues”.)

That got us thinking about what you can do with $99.

For your team name this week, tell us what you would do with $99 that ISN’T subscribing to Kyle.

Enough earplugs to last the rest of my life

One tank of petrol

Entering the jackpot at trivia for two years

Paying a child to have a temper tantrum

Literally set it on fire

Any alternatives to funding Kyle Sandiland’s media empire will get a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
