Do we know that TN is not, in fact, the Schwab? I've never seen them in the same room together.

I don't really know.

I heard of it from a podcast and got the questions and answers from the reddit thread.

Here's a link to the podcast and the reddit thread where there's links to the questions/answers and the whole thing is discussed: https://www.reddit.com/r/CGPGrey/com..._123_pop_quiz/

Thanks for the game, xb. Originally an '80s quiz makes sense from the pop culture questions.

Congrats to TN and the rest of the podium. Happy to make the top ten.
