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 review every show before we put it out for you to enjoy. Since Leslie reviews every show, we thought it was only right that she got to share her favorite questions from the week.
I was SO excited to bust out my nerd brain and help Stew with this week's Animated Legends trivia show! Have you watched the Fiona & Cake series yet?
The Ice King wrote a fan-fiction book about two characters that are female versions of Finn and Jake. What are the names he uses? – Fiona & Cake
It was so hard to choose which Ghibli films to choose from when I thought of questions. Except for Ponyo. Ponyo is my favorite Ghibli film. Gives me real cozy vibes. Did you know that every year Studio Ghibli has "Studio Ghibli Fest" where they re-release their movies in theatres? Just letting you know in case you didn't already. Spirited Away is out this week!
Ponyo causes a tsunami to engulf a town when she uses magic to turn herself human. When she gets to her friend Sōsukes (Soh-Soo-kay) house, his mom makes them ramen noodles with what in it? HAM!
Have you seen the Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender movie they released this year? It was super good.
Which animal or creature is honorably referred to as Ancient One by the spirits? — The Lion Turtle
This wasn't technically in the Animated Legends show, but I propose we do a whole Nickelodeon Animated Legends show! Ren & Stimpy! Rugrats! Doug! Rocko's Modern Life! Aaahh Real Monsters! What did I miss?
What was the name of the 90s Nick cartoon centered around three primary characters Ickis, Oblina and Krumm?
Aaahh Real Monsters
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.
During Replay Andersonville's Animated Legends trivia show, we got these fantastic doodles celebrating our love of cartoons. I think it's appropriate to spend your Saturday catching up on all your favorites. I know I will!
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!
Keep an eye out for our themed shows next week:
