Drunken Smartass Trivia Podcast #21: Little Silhouetto Of A Man Edition
The Drunken Smartass Trivia Podcast is sponsored by Open Letters Monthly, home of our sweet monthly literary quiz.
Before we get anywhere near the inside of this week’s triumphant return to the world of podcastery with this, our newest move into your ears, first may I just thank you for sticking with us while we went down the last two months. (We had a very good reason to take the sudden break, but it’s my fault to not have shared it with you, dear listener.) See, I was on Jeopardy!, and well, that kind of took the whole operation over a bit.
Yeah, I got the call (it’s apparently known as The Call, like I was a relief pitcher in AAA or something), and I flew to Los Angeles to prove my worth as a human being on this planet in front of King Alex the one-legged and his guardians of the intellectual realm. Honestly, it was as fun a thing as I have ever done in my life, and I’m still trying to make sense of it. But anyway, my episode airs tomorrow night, and I’m holding a bit of a party at Dempsey’s, because it has the good fortune of happening on a day where we’re holding a quiz. You should totally come down!
Oh, and this week we premiere the Audio Name Three question. Figure out what the three clips I play have in common, and then tweet the answer to TriviaNYC. We’ll give you something nice. (Dear promotional specialists: please contact us! We have people who like things, and many of them have jobs! Good ones, even!)
Enjoy the podcast.

This week we were digging:
- Jo Scutts: Adam Gopnik, The Table Comes First
- Scott Lydon: Black Power Mixtape, the movie
- Sam Meyer: the Mutter Museum of human curiosities in Philadelphia
- and me, Tony Hightower: well, I was digging the fact that I don’t have to be afraid I’ll give away the results of my time Culver City before the episode airs. I’m such a friggin yenta.
