·54 min·5 clips

Chris pits his two favorite people, Mike and Asha, in a rare hot seat trivia showdown.

The episode begins with Chris introducing a hot seat head-to-head trivia matchup between Mike and Asha, two of his favorite people. Mike drinks a Double Pie Assassin IPA from Anchorage Brewing Company, while Asha has Woodford Reserve with Coke. The pre-game round features five questions about which Canadian provinces border given U.S. states, ending in a 2-2 tie. Hot Seat Round 1 consists of 15 minutes of non-stop trivia questions, covering topics like the first NFL game outside the U.S., the first woman in the U.S. Senate, and the largest human organ. Mike scores 11 points to Asha's 8, leading 13-10. The halftime round focuses on identifying voice actors from Cars 2 based on other film and TV credits, such as Michael Caine and Bruce Campbell. Mike sweeps this round, gaining 20 points to Asha's 10, making the score 33-20. In Hot Seat Round 2, Asha goes first, and questions range from Mao Zedong's political party to the capital of South Dakota. Both players score 8 points, bringing Mike to 41 and Asha to 28. The final wager round has three categories: literature, television, and chemistry. Players wager points, with Mike correctly answering the Civil War for television and cobalt for chemistry, while both miss the literature question about pandemonium. Mike wins 39-8. Asha selects The Hunger Games as the topic for a revenge match on Patreon. The episode closes with casual banter and thanks to listeners.
