SPEAKER_1 (0:36)

Recorded in Chicago, Illinois, with your hosts, Ken, Matt, Neal, and Jeff. This is Triviality.

Neal (0:49)

Hello and welcome to Triviality, the game where lack of seriousness meets a little bit of knowledge. My name is Neal. I'm here with Ken and Jeff. How are you both today?

Jeff (0:57)

I'm feeling good. Before the show started, you assured us that we had 25 hours of recording space available.

Ken (1:02)

So this is going to be our first day long episode.

Jeff (1:05)

Yeah.

Neal (1:05)

It's the first day long episode. It's the first episode where the world record holder for Planks can listen to it twice.

Jeff (1:11)

That's crazy.

Joe Hough (1:12)

Yeah.

Ken (1:13)

What is it?

Joe Hough (1:13)

Is it up to 12 hours?

Neal (1:15)

I think it's 11 hours is the world record.

Jeff (1:18)

I saw a woman do it for like four.

Ken (1:19)

I've once done it for a minute.

Neal (1:22)

Well, there's the one man.

I think it's he's standing for years. His body parts have kind of like given out. He's just been standing.

Ken (1:32)

The guy who refuses to sit down.

Joe Hough (1:34)

Yeah. Yeah.

Ken (1:35)

I refuse to stand up.

Neal (1:36)

That's right.

Ken (1:37)

That's sometimes in the morning.

Neal (1:39)

Well, yeah, we all do.

Jeff (1:40)

I think that's self-recognition that you're not the real Slim Shady.

Ken (1:43)

It's true.

Neal (1:43)

Well, you refuse to stand up. Jeff refuses to give in to Tierney who refused to show up today.

Ken (1:50)

Matt, he's out in a muddy field, Riot Fest.

Neal (1:55)

Listening to Taking Back Sunday.

Ken (1:57)

He chose to be in the mud pit instead of with all of us.

Jeff (2:00)

His own Sunday.

Neal (2:01)

I did this on purpose.

Jeff (2:02)

I don't think Taking Back Sunday is playing today, didn't they play?

Neal (2:04)

Well, I asked Matt who he was going to see this weekend, just so we could get an idea of what he's into.

Jeff (2:10)

Tool.

Neal (2:10)

Rise Against, Outline Trio, Thrice, Bright Eyes, maybe Tool, Sunday, Alanis, Taking Back Sunday, Pierce the Veil.

Okay. I wanted to see Alanis, but that's okay.

Ken (2:23)

If I hadn't seen most of these bands a hundred times, I'd be really excited to go.

Jeff (2:28)

But like every Riot Fest of the last three to five years, it's Pennywise for the 10th time. It's inclement weather. It's like the last couple of years, it's been like a torrential downpour mud pit down there.

Ken (2:41)

I was offered a ticket for yesterday and I said, that feels like a young man's game.

Neal (2:46)

Yeah.

Jeff (2:47)

Stairs?

Joe Hough (2:47)

Yeah. Well, no.

Neal (2:48)

Covered in mud, eating hot dog, listening to Tool and having to park over there.

Ken (2:53)

Yeah. Appreciate it though, Austin. I appreciate it.

Neal (2:57)

Well, yeah. So Matt isn't here, but we wanted to replace Matt with someone better with cooler t-shirts with a little international flair. So we're excited to introduce one of our patrons, which we very much appreciate. We have Chuck. How are you, Chuck? You have an amazing t-shirt we'll talk about in a second here, but how are you doing today?

Chuck Smith (3:15)

Good. I'm doing all right. Yes, I'm located in Toronto right now, but for the first 25 years or so of my life, I was born and raised in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada.

But yes, I've lived here for almost 20 years. I mean, I haven't lived with her the whole time, but I live here now with my partner Kaylee, my five-year-old daughter Josie, an extremely lethargic and old cat named Tilda, where I'm working in financial crimes for one of the big five banks.

Neal (3:50)

Oh, wow. Did you say financial crimes?

Chuck Smith (3:53)

Yes. I mean, I'm not working to support financial crimes. I'm working to combat financial crimes. I should have.
