The Incomparable Game Show

It’s the first Incomparable Geography Bee. Test your knowledge of geographical features and locations against our players. Featuring not just one, but two drafts, and some good-natured complaining about the fairness of the game. As usual. Jean MacDonald and James Dempsey with Annette Wierstra, Antony Johnston, Dan Moren and Glenn Fleishman.

Introducing Inestimable, a game show which features panelists making wild numeric, comparative, and order of magnitude guesses about animals, bodies of water, foods, popular music, and much more. Knowledge isn’t required; in fact, it may be the enemy of success! Panelists play against a live audience of Incomparable members whose answers are averaged to show the wisdom of crowds. It’s the show that rewards guessing and also penalizes guessing. Listeners may find pen/pencil and paper handy to play along. Glenn Fleishman and Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Antony Johnston, Jason Snell, Shelly Brisbin and Steve Lutz.

After a long hiatus, Random Pursuit makes a triumphant(?) return. Well, it’s a return anyway! We have lovely players and decidedly un-lovely questions, which seems about right. Erika Ensign and Steven Schapansky with Glenn Fleishman, Cicero Holmes, Shelly Brisbin, Jean MacDonald and David J. Loehr.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. In our latest installment, we quiz our panelists about fantasy geography, see if they can identify vehicles from fiction solely by their license plate, then round it all out with some movie/podcast mash-ups. It’s Antony Johnston, Jean MacDonald, and Jason Snell versus Kelly Guimont, Brian Hamilton, and Glenn Fleishman, and the stakes have never been higher.

Welcome back to “Are You The Spy?”, where panelists must name clues that point to potential topics like Jon Snow, Iron Man, or The Shape of Water. One spy doesn’t know the topic they’re trying to discuss, and must figure it out before the rest of the group figures them out. In this episode, players put their knowledge (or lack thereof) of Game of Thrones, Incomparable podcasts, MCU Avengers, and Best Picture winners to good use. If you would like to play along as a civilian and know the topic words that the spies are trying to guess, click here to see the answers. If you would like to play along as the spy, just start listening! Quinn Rose with Moisés Chiullán, Cicero Holmes, Glenn Fleishman, Lex Friedman, Jean MacDonald and Brian Hamilton.

Four contestants pursue a life of (sports and) leisure, but wind up confused by cricket - it can only be UK Triv! Once again our North American panelists try to answer questions from an original 1983 British edition of Trivial Pursuit. Antony Johnston with Dan Moren, Shelly Brisbin, Glenn Fleishman and Monty Ashley.

It’s time for a new version of Low Definition, the likes of which have never been seen before! (Unless you tuned in to Relay FM’s annual fundraiser, anyway.) Jason Snell takes the reins of the show and forces usual host Steve Lutz and several other players to identify the meaning of tech terms or supply their own! It’s a high-scoring shootout only a screenager could love. Jason Snell with Steve Lutz, Glenn Fleishman, Shelly Brisbin, Brian Hamilton, Chip Sudderth and Monty Ashley.

It’s time for the second annual installment of “7 or C”, the game show no one asked for. Enjoy a discussion of how many cities Glenn was born in, what cheeses are memorable, and a VOCABULARY QUIZ. Content warning: the amount of blood in the human body is discussed. Tony Sindelar and James Thomson with Glenn Fleishman, Kathy Campbell, Antony Johnston and Annette Wierstra.

It’s time for another Friendly Competition, with games of chance, skill, rapping, and rhyming. Hear Glenn and Jean spit verses, listen in on Bohemian Rhapsody trivia, and meet your new friend Silent Carl. Lex Friedman and Dan Moren with Erika Ensign, Glenn Fleishman, Jean MacDonald and Shelly Brisbin.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. In our latest rounds of torturous trivia we question our panelists about musical end credits, actors who cross universes, and political/espionage movie mash-ups. Cicero Holmes, Shelly Brisbin, and Tony Sindelar take on Jean MacDonald, Glenn Fleishman, and Kathy Campbell in an epic game for all time.

What better time than SHOCKTOBER to introduce you to Ghost Court, the improvisational game of spooky arbitrations and ghastly rulings. Thrill at the intricacies of landlord v. ghost, ghost dog ownership, and supernaturally incurred accidents. Tony Sindelar with Glenn Fleishman, James Thomson, Kathy Campbell, Mikah Sargent, Dan Moren, Monty Ashley, Erika Ensign, Brian Hamilton and Shelly Brisbin.

It’s SHOCKTOBER here at the Incomparable Game Show, and it’s time for another great Parsely Adventure—Pumpkin Town! Will our players find all the halloween candy, or be thwarted by the nefarious parser? Tony Sindelar with Steve Lutz, Kathy Campbell, Monty Ashley, James Thomson and Will Wagner.

We go back to where it all started! Let’s play the feud… the actual original home game of Family Feud, with answers compiled by polling 1970s audiences standing in line to watch “Family Feud!” Survey Says… Monty Ashley with Tony Sindelar, Cicero Holmes, Glenn Fleishman, Jean MacDonald and Shelly Brisbin.

Welcome back to “Are You The Spy?” Panelists must name clues that point to potential topics like Minecraft, Futurama, or River Song. One spy doesn’t know the topic they’re trying to discuss, and must figure it out before the rest of the group figures them out. In this episode, players put their knowledge (or lack thereof) of video games, Doctor Who companions, animated shows, and mystery tropes to good use. If you would like to play along as a civilian and know the topic words that the spies are trying to guess, click here to see the answers. If you would like to play along as the spy, just start listening! Quinn Rose with Cicero Holmes, Kathy Campbell, James Thomson and Dan Moren.

It’s Trivial Retreat, the game where we play the original Genus edition of Trivial Pursuit backward, where players must invent or guess the questions and categories based entirely on what’s on the back of the card. In this episode, a brave group ponders the history of the NFL, the only international war crime tribunal to usurp the executive powers of the U.S. government, and a diminutive Muppet troll. Jason Snell with Shelly Brisbin, Dan Moren, Antony Johnston, Jean MacDonald, Chip Sudderth and David J. Loehr.

Time for another round of “Trust Me I’m a Superhero.” Will the best superhero leverage the power of fashion, grizzly bears, sea horses, steam, or cone to save the day? (Probably not cone.) Tony Sindelar with Annette Wierstra, Kathy Campbell, Glenn Fleishman and James Thomson.

Contestants compete in games of luck and skill, including naming famous Als, chain restaurants, and … numbers. Just any numbers. Lex Friedman and Dan Moren with Brian Hamilton, Jason Snell, Kathy Campbell, Kelly Guimont and Shelly Brisbin.

Star Wars Feuding Families has returned! Two teams of three contestants each try to outwit the collective intelligence of the Game Show audience when it comes to facts about Star Wars. What makes the appearance of an actor unexpected? When is a rebel base not a rebel base? We love our listeners! Jason Snell with Tiff Arment, Chip Sudderth, Moisés Chiullán, Kathy Campbell, Antony Johnston and Annette Wierstra.

Remember Low Definition? It’s back! And the definitions are just as dumb as always! Six contestants fight with weird words, old comic strips, questionable community names, and people on the internet who just can’t help but correct cinema errors.

How many twos can our North Americans roll while trying to answer questions from an original 1983 British edition of Trivial Pursuit? “Two” many, in Antony’s wisdom. But then, that wisdom does begin in a surprising place… Antony Johnston with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, Shelly Brisbin, Jean MacDonald and Monty Ashley.
