Episode Transcript/Quiz

Episode Intro

Excellent! You made it all the way to 2022! Have a donut.

Hey gang, it’s episode 154 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. I’m your host Brian Rollins and this week, for our first episode of 2022, we’re covering that long-running animated sitcom, The Simpsons.

Just like in 2021, it’s three rounds of ten questions each. I ask, you get a timer, then we see if you get it right. Simple setup, tough questions. If you need rules or scorecards, visit the show’s website at DorkyGeekyNerdy.com.

I think I see the cast assembling on the couch, so let’s get started with…

Episode Conclusion

And we are done. Thanks for sticking with me and the show for 2022. We’ll be wrapping up season three next month. I have something special to cover all of season four, so stay tuned. I’m also planning some bonus content in Season Four.

I want to send a big thank you to the folks that purchased DorkyGeekyNerdy merchandise last year. I was surprised by the number of people that got stuff. I’ll add more stuff this year. It seems like most of you like t-shirts, so expect geeky, nerdy, and dorky shirts in 2022.

We’ll be back again next week with another episode. Here’s your clue:

What science fiction writer received an MD from Harvard Medical School in 1969?

I think this will be my last author trivia episode for awhile, but they’re a big name in the genre.

I’ll see you back here next Wednesday. This has been episode 154 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia podcast. The music has been by Jason Shaw at Audionautix.com. I’m your host, Brian Rollins. You can find me at TheVoicesInMyHead.com where I narrate audiobooks.

Thanks for listening and happy new year, ya dorks.
