“Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at this episode. It is so big.” A first-time, last minute fill-in contestant doesn't slow the momentum down for this week's new episode. Daniel, Morgan, and Megan face off in three rounds of pop culture trivia to determine who will head to the playoffs. First, one of the silliest games we've played attempts to give Sir Mix-A-Lot the depth and dimensionality he's always deserved. Then, things stay musical as we head to karaoke night, where our players identify movies and TV shows from the sounds of their iconic karaoke scenes.Support Us On Patreon🥇 Become a patron and get special perks from ad-free episodes to full bonus matches!Follow Us🐦 @USAQuizShow on Twitter📷 @USAQuizShow on Instagram🧑‍💻 Our website is USAQuizShow.comEpisode Notes🗒 Brackets and full episodes notes can be found on this episode's page on USAQuizShow.com💸 The plot of Brewster's Millions (1985) is that Richard Pryor will inherit $300 million, if and only if he successfully spends $30 million in thirty days and winds up with nothing.
