020 - A Special Trivia Episode - July 5, 2023

Bingo Is Life: A Post-Bingo Harrisonburg Podcast

A special trivia episode! Jay was kind enough to do a deep research dive into some Bingo history. With a little help from our imaginary interns, Dave and Samantha. Since we have no one on quality control, all answers could be completely delusional... And bonus! There is a "password" in this episode that, if you're the first to say it at our show, guarantees you a free pizza!
