Brain Ladle Trivia

On this episode, the Sensei has blessed us with another one of his patented quizzes and he's chosen another round of Geography as the theme.  So, of course, Producer Arthur will have to bring out the bleep button for a few Davo tirades.  Who will make it to the top of the Trivia mountain?

Ross sends us another quiz all about his favorite word for putting two words together to create a new word: Portmanteau.  Will he make frenemies of the crew this episode or will they just chillax by grabbing brunch so they aren't hangry.  Only way to find out is to listen to your favorite podcast.

On this episode, we pull out our Alf pogs, Garbage Pail Kids cards and Run DMC CD's to celebrate the 1980s with a quiz coming to us from Johnson E.  Will the gang be able to hop into their DeLorean and head back in time to conquer this task or will they run, run so far away.  Also, check out a special trivia question exclusively for our Patrons.

Allison, beloved fan and Davo sister-in-law, sends us a mystery theme quiz from across the bond made specifically with her brother-in-law in mind.  Will Davo rise to the occasion or embarrass the family name?

Well, it's back to a good old regular episode with... Oh, it appears that we have a replacement player.  In this episode, previous BLITT (guitar solo) champion Kevin is stepping in for Twy to try a Sensei written quiz dealing with Music... but not music.  Will Kels and Davo be able to defeat the champion or will they be whistling a sad tune (but not a sad tune).

This is the one you've been waiting for.  To celebrate America's 250th birthday, Leigh is delivering one heckuva patriotic quiz focused on all the other time zones other than the main continental four.  Bettina has also lent her quiz writing skills for the Star Spangled Sudden Death.  Let the fireworks begin!

Well, we've made it to the fourth game of our Semiquincentennial Tournament.  Like France, Leigh has gifted us with a monument as a token of her friendship.  Instead of a Statue of Liberty, she has given us another quiz, this time devoted to the Pacific Time Zone of the USA.  And Ian is helping with the Sudden Death round.

In this episode, we continue our celebration of America's 250th birthday with another Semiquincentennial quiz from Leigh with some extra help from Nabs.  And it's time to get on your hiking boots because we are in the mountain time zone.  Will we get purple mountains majesty or purple prose?  Only one way to find out.

This episode, we move into game 2 of the Semiquincentennial Tournament as the gang celebrates the country's 250th birthday with Leigh's Central time zone quiz.  Will they rise to the occasion or will the pressure crack them like the Liberty Bell.

Happy Birthday, America.  She's 250 years old but barely looks 100.  Leigh has decided to help us celebrate by creating a patriotic tournament for the gang.  And episode one will honor the Eastern Time Zone.  Who will emerge waving o'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?  Let the fireworks rip!

On this episode, Jennifer, Leigh, Nabs, Ian, Alberto and Bettina deliver us a unique quiz devoted to their favorite things.  Will the gang be able to match with these quiz writers or will they have hot takes of their own? 

Here we go, the last episode of the Brain Ladle Invitational Trivia Tournament (aka The BLITT - guitar solo).  Who will die and who will survive to live a happy life until the eventual reboot?  In this episode, Kels will take on Ladlers Easy Mode Barry, Ross, Chris, and James in a final death match that will crown this year's BLITT champion.  Also, the Sensei is out of town so Davo will take on the task of keeping score and making pithy comments.  Will Davo rise to the challenge?

I met this six-year-old Podcast with this blank, pale emotionless face and...the blackest quizzes...the devil's quizzes... I spent eight years trying to reach them and then another seven trying to keep them locked up because I realized what was living behind Nicole's quiz was purely and simply... evil! Boo!

(And that way is listening to the podcast if you haven't figured that out yet).

In this episode, Blake delivers a quiz about prisons and Aunt Nanci subs in for Twy.  Now, I wish I could tell you that Davo and the others fought the good fight and Blake's quiz let them be.  I wish I could tell you that, but prison is no fairy-tale quiz.

The amazing Aunt Nanci has served up a fun little mystery theme quiz for the gang.  Who will solve it and who will be left behind in the dust?  (Hint: One of the ladlers isn't very good at mystery themes so you can rule them out.)

Happy Women's History Month.  This episode is a celebration of the contributions made by great women from history with a quiz hosted by Twy and built by her WoMENSA group (Bettina, Ashley, Nicole and Leigh).  Sensei and Arthur join Kels and Davo to fight it out man to man to prove who knows the most about women.  Also, Arthur gets to feel the full fury of Hai Karate and the dreaded Karate Chop!

This episode is our funkiest to date.  And with Davo and Producer Arthur not available, we had to rely on Funkmeister Ian from Verhampshire to bring in the noise and bring in the funk.  Though this quiz from Leigh isn't what you think it is.  And stay tuned for after the outtakes for a special clip for all our fans out there.

For all you fried chicken and Churchill Downs fans, this quiz is for you!  Built by friends of the show Eric and Albert (not Arthur), this Kentucky themed quiz has 11 herbs and spices to make your mouths water.  And taking over the Davo answering questions duties is Skillet Brew's own Chris Brewer!

We're a little late for Valentine's Day.  Sorry to our Brain Ladlers out there.  You are still our valentines, and so instead of getting you a cheap teddy bear and those chalky candy hearts with the words on them we got at the local gas station, we are bringing this love themed quiz from Ross and Ashley.  Twy is out, but Arthur is ready to step in and bring the love.

This time, it's personal. Though, the other times have been personal as well.  Either way, let's celebrate our 400th episode with a little sweep the leg.  Who will reign supreme and who's going down?  You got a problem with that?

The one and only Nabs has put together a terrific soccer themed Australian rules quiz for the gang.

(Spoiler Alert: It's the latter)

Welcome to 2026! And there's no better way to celebrate a new year than by asking trivia questions about the old one.  The Brain Ladle Brain Trust has curated a quiz that will give you fond memories of the year that was.

Hello, Brain Ladlers.  Enjoy this final episode of 2025 with one of our greatest running bits - Davo's Infamous Post It.  Leigh and Albert join forces with the Sensei for a quiz that will test to see if Davo's Post It note actually helped him or not.
