Whimsical Weekly Wrap-up
Greetings, Love Biscuits!
Welcome to the Stewpendous Whimsical Weekly Wrap-up!
We're going to dive a little deeper into our nerdy love of research and information. You see, after our shows during the week, we get follow-up questions about some of the rounds or specific questions in our trivia shows. Stew is a natural rambler and admits he nerds out a bit too much on certain questions, writing fun, interesting lead-ins. He realizes just because he thinks it’s super interesting doesn’t mean it needs to be shared. He’s working on it! 😁
We wanted to find a fun and fascinating way to continue the conversation from our trivia shows. Our Wrap-up will provide additional information, highlight some of our favorite moments of the week, and prove we didn’t just make up the wacky stories Stew finds when he is writing the show.
What Folks Are Talking About
In round one of our trivia games, we tell you it’s about the absurd, the delicious, and the "Who asked for this"? of it all, and sometimes they are so absurd we need to show the receipts that we aren’t making this stuff up. So here ya go, Love Biscuits: more information about the four ridiculous things folks are talking about this week.

Leslie's Favorite Questions
This section of The Whimsical Weekly Wrap-Up is to answer the big question:
Who is Leslie?
Leslie takes Stew’s crazy ideas and turns them into awesome activity sheets; she also assembles every music bingo sheet every week. Her other big responsibility is providing an extra set of eyes to look over every show before we put it out there for you to enjoy. Since every show is reviewed by Leslie, we thought it was only right that she got to share her favorite questions from the entire week.
I had a neighbor who collected these cards, and he had a whole BOOK of them. I was very jealous as I only had a couple. I looked up old GPK cards on eBay, and one complete set is selling for $4,999! They still make them to this day, FYI
What 1987 movie is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made due to its unsettling animatronic creature design, nonsensical and mean-spirited plot, and relentless gross-out bodily humor? - Garbage Pail Kids
Well, I just HAD to look this one up, and bless the internet, I found the 18-second clip!
Which Oscar-winning actor played "Head Thug" in the 1990 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie? - Sam Rockwell
Gotta have a Dolly question in here! Did you know this? I am not surprised, she was a genius!
9 to 5 is not only a great movie but a great theme song written by Dolly Parton. What unlikely source of rhythm did she use to create the rhythm of the song?
— Her acrylic nails
Favorite Moment of the Week!
We want to conclude our weekly whimsical wrap-up with some favorite moments of the week, our favorite doodles you doodled, and share fun and magical moments that took place.
The winners of the Pokémon Trivia Night at Sidetrack! The fans who showed up to this show had to answer questions like: "Which type of attacks are the most effective against Dragonite, dealing quadruple (4x) super-effective damage?" And "In which Pokémon TCG Expansion was Gardevoir a Fire type?" What a joy to get to go to a super fan trivia show!
This officially wraps up the week! We are already working on next week’s quizzical good times for you to enjoy with your bestie boos.
We love being a part of your community and having you a part of ours. If you have a topic you would love to see at a future show, send us a DM on Instagram!
