This week’s episode more than meets the eye. Well, actually, just the subject matter. Otherwise, it’s just another thirty trivia questions and this week, we’re tackling Transformers Trivia.
This is our last episode of 2021, so I want to wish everyone out there a safe and happy New Year. This year wasn’t the one we had hoped for, so here’s to 2022 being better. If you haven’t gotten your booster shot yet, go get one. It’s the best thing we “regular Joes and Janes” can do to push back the pandemic.
And hats off to doctors, nurses, and everyone else out there keeping us safe, healthy, and fed. A double-Happy New Year to you!
We’ll see you back here next year. In the meantime, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, and now Spotify!
