Fortnight 28 Meistershaft!

Shane Ryan joins us to administer the meistershaft to Marc, as Trevor took it earlier so he could proctor. Will Marc not trusting his first instinct cost him? Trevor also does quite well on what turned out to be a very difficult test.

How come no one is named Doak anymore?

Fortnight 28, Day 10. Marc and Trevor go head to head in our private division, we both play perfect defense, and we have a definitive winner.

Brits called it soccer into the 1970s

Fortnight 28, Day 9. Our second theme day of the fortnight, and it goes better for both of us than the last one. Trevor educates us about so-so American tennis players and Marc talks about Bruins legend Dave Christian. And yeah, if an English person gives you a hard time about calling it soccer, tell them they invented the term and called it soccer until the 1970s.

Calling all our Russian listeners

Fortnight 28, Day 8. Trevor gets triggered by a question but doesn't let that affect him. Marc played jarts, Trevor didn't but we both called it lawn darts. And we've both seen Hoosiers....

Never give up on a question

Fortnight 28, Day 7. Thanks to having to think a lot about Q5, Marc gives max effort regarding Q1; he also gives away more defensive secrets. Trevor struggles with his Flemish regions. We both figure Lamar was more likely to lose in an upset in a divisional.

Both of us would like more track questions

Fortnight 28, Day 6. Solid start to the week. We discuss the prowess of Sun Wen, Marc loses another coin flip, and Trevor has more serendipity.

She almost wasn't allowed into England

Fortnight 28, Day 5. Bringing week 1 to a close, Sportstradamus brings the heat on question 5. We talk about golf rules for a bit then pivot to some not so great hockey teams and The U. Question 5 flummoxed us both but we also both played someone who got it right.

Sportsradamus is making life difficult

Fortnight 28, Day 4. First theme day of the fortnight and it was a doozy! At least for us. One of us gets the theme, and the other doesn't, but it didn't help much at all. More Lev Yashin talk, a guy neither of us had heard of prior to AST.

Neither of us had any idea who Nadeen was

Fortnight 28, Day 3. First off, Marc clears up the misinformation provided yesterday. Trevor and Marc go head to head in their private division. We have a long discussion about questions 2 and 3. Trevor tells us about tennis players and Marc talks about Dick Cheney.

They're all London local rail stations

Fortnight 28, Day 2. Marc gives a long dissertation about Scottie's 2022 Masters 18th hole which turns out to be mostly wrong. He then follows that up by being mostly right about King's Cross (despite taking his train from St. Pancras, which is technically connected to King's Cross). Trevor bounces back to post a nice result.
