The Ultimate Trivia Podcast is hitting the road this summer — sort of. 🚗🧠🇺🇸

We’re crossing into Missouri — the Show-Me State, where the Gateway Arch towers over St. Louis, the Ozarks bring the scenery, and barbecue arguments can get dangerously close to family-feud territory. From Mark Twain to the Mississippi River, Missouri sits right in the middle of American history, culture, and “wait, how many states does this place touch?” energy. 🌉🔥⚾

In honor of America’s 250th birthday, The Crew is celebrating the only way we know how: with snack-sized trivia episodes for all 50 states. 🎆🗽 Each mini-episode is short, sharp, and packed with state facts, weird history, geography, pop culture, local legends, and just enough nonsense to remind you that yes, this is still us. 🍿😂

From famous landmarks to forgotten stories, state symbols to strange claims to fame, we’re putting the whole country on the trivia board one state at a time. 🧭📍

Fifty states. Fifty mini-episodes. One big, beautiful, trivia-soaked birthday party for America. 🎂🇺🇸

Join us for trivia, stay for the laughs, and see how well you really know the country we all call home. 🎙️🍻

07:00.033 --> 07:02.573
[SPEAKER_05]: I was going to say, wow, that's not what you were just saying.

07:02.613 --> 07:03.034
[SPEAKER_02]: Just kidding.

[SPEAKER_05]: What's up?

[SPEAKER_00]: It's Genevieve.

07:18.352 --> 07:19.473
[SPEAKER_00]: That does make sense.

07:19.553 --> 07:22.575
[SPEAKER_02]: And it's weird because with the Saint, the abbreviation is STE.

07:24.856 --> 07:27.557
[SPEAKER_02]: And that's the feminine version of a saint in French.

07:27.977 --> 07:29.177

[SPEAKER_02]: I don't know stuff.

07:39.601 --> 07:40.221
[SPEAKER_02]: I look stuff up.
