Episode Intro
Quick! It’s time for some trivia.
Hey gang, I’m your host, Brian Rollins, and this is episode 229 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, it’s all about Flash Trivia. The Scarlet Speedster has been thrilling comic book fans for over 80 years and now he’s front and center for thirty trivia questions.
Plus, he’s got his own movie this Summer and I didn’t want you to go into it uninformed.
If you need rules or score cards, visit DorkyGeekyNerdy.com. And, in honor of The Flash, I’m cutting the timer from 5 seconds down to 2.
Just kidding, you’ll get your usual five. But think fast, because here we go.

Episode Conclusion
And we’re back. Hopefully you didn’t create any world-altering paradoxes along the way. And, even if you did, you’d be the only one to know about it. Either way, I hope you enjoyed the show. I learned I’m woefully behind on my comic book reading. I need to pick up some back issues and start reading. Where’s a good place to start? Let me know on Spotify or social media.
I’ll be back here next week with another thirty questions. Here’s a clue:
What country can trace its origins back to unification in 3150 BC?
Another country episode? Absolutely. With the 50 states episodes last season, I do want to catch up on more country trivia this season. And this country has a LOT of history.
