Then we pop the car into "R" and back into a round called "Trivia in Reverse" (15:07). Sean adds three categories together and gets "Sports History Math" (28:53), and then we wrap up with grand old round celebrating St. Paul's Grand Avenue (40:38). 🎟️ Tickets for the 6/17 Live Recording at Bryant-Lake Bowl 👉 No Brains, No Lightbulbs is a trivia podcast produced by the world’s greatest trivia company, Trivia Mafia , in the great state of Minnesota. 📍 Find a Trivia Mafia trivia night near you! 📥 Sign up for “The Morning Rounds ,” Trivia Mafia’s amazing daily Trivia trivia newsletter! 🫶 Join our Patreon for exclusive member perks and other goodies!
