Well you are in luck as we've dug around the vaults of episodes 31-36 this time which features our old player Ian. Do you fancy listening to poorly sung Sting songs, Becky’s five guys and cheesy bangers and more about Kerley’s dinosaur fetish. Nope didn't think so but that's what you've got. It gets weird again as we present Can I Get A Rewind Volume 6…yep we know volume 6.
Merry Christmas to all of our listeners new & old as we all gather for another "Quiz-mas" where we pull together another board game quiz for 2023. Will the Whose Turners get many right? Will they moan how hard the questions are? Will they have fun regardless? Come and get your pens and paper at the ready and join in.
QUIZ TEAMS Too Many Boney-M's (JP & Rob) Kerley Klaus (Kerley & Becky) Bald'bles (Dan & Tambo) Christmas Spirit Island (Adrian & Davey)
In this episode you'll learn: - What we've been playing in the lead up to Christmas - how we don't like to make the questions easy - that Dan likes to put 110% in making (and performing) his questions - that having 8 Whose Turners on a podcast episode is hard work but a lot of fun - which team takes the Quiz-Mas crown for 2023 and has bragging rights for a whole year
