Trivia Night

·1 hr 35 min·5 clips
Jake smells something strange on the highway and has to prove to a skeptical friend that trucks full of pigs are real.
The hosts start by admitting they are fighting to stay awake. One host says he is cozy, and another says he and Zach have been napping. A host describes sleeping in a T-shirt and long basketball shorts. The shorts lead straight into a story about waking up at 4 a.m. to use the bathroom. The wording swerves when catching a little pee takes the place where catching some Z's should have been. The hosts keep working the misunderstanding until it becomes a real question about whether anyone else catches pee. They then reach for a Nate Bargatze bit about maybe having his shirt off, even though nobody can quite remember it. Later, the conversation shifts into a geography question about total state population. The hosts weigh desolate areas and the number of cities in Mississippi. They bring up Jackson while sorting out whether poverty and population belong in the same argument. Alabama's cities enter the mix. Maine feels safe to one host because it sits up there and seems easy to picture. The guesses move through Tennessee and Kentucky before the group locks in Maine. The answer is wrong. The hosts keep picking through Vermont, New Hampshire, and Delaware after one host says he is out of ideas. The final stretch turns to a post about their paddles. A host says the post caused such a rush that he walked down the street and asked whether another host had seen it. The post asked people to buy their pros on Dick's Sporting Goods and email Isaac for a free bag. The hosts say they sold out and appreciate a supportive commenter who already owns 19 paddles. They end by hoping the paddles reach shelves in May or June and signing off until Monday.
