INTERESTING MOMENTS

Spelling matters. “Legally Blonde” is a Reese Witherspoon film. “Legally Blown” is a VERY different movie.

On a Game of Thrones question we got someone guessing “Boris Johnson.”

In a corporate show with an audience mostly in San Francisco, one of our Australian hosts had to explain baseball terminology to an American.

In a lightning round in a Zoom conference, every question on alcohol went to a player who was a sufficiently observant Muslim that she wore a hijab. Also, she got them both.

The memeing of our hosts continues.

And one of our players sent a photo of him preparing wine for bottling as we marked their answer sheets at halftime.

It took us a moment to realise that wasn’t a urine sample.

See you next week.
