Highly entertaining, Adam! That "...which Detroit team?" question was a softie but the "35 points and 6 three pointers" in Game One against my Trail Blazers was clutch! I thought it was 30 points in the first half, but I probably stopped counting after the sixth three-ball fell through the net!

[@inallairness]

Hey, Rod! Thanks for watching, mate. A few softballs in the expert round, however, I still had a brain fade on the Converse / Adidas question!

[@redfanrod]

@@inallairness Fun fact: The world headquarters for both Nike (Beaverton, Oregon) and Adidas (Portland, Oregon) are within 15 miles of each other. Cheers, Adam!

That LaBradford Smith question at 25:20 was a tough one. It was almost worded as if you should answer "how many did Jordan score in the next match-up with LaBradford (36)" but was worded to say "how much did Jordan vow to score in the first half (37)." You nailed Jordan's actual number (36) but that was not the number he "vowed" to score (37). I think the wording of the question was a bit strange.

[@Swove2204]

Seemed like Michael Jordan was an ideal subject for this game. With most of those questions, I was like, "No way anyone's going to be able to steal this one" (except for Adidas). I stumbled on the same two you did (Jordan wore Converse in college & I thought the LaBradford game was 30-points). Great poise up there nonetheless.

Good stuff Adam -Kmart

[@inallairness]

Hey, KMart! Glad you enjoyed - thanks for watching, mate.

[@AndyDowling]

Haha classic. Congratulations.

I hope they gave Esther her badge backstage! She deserved it..

[@inallairness]

Kristina, I can assure you that once the cameras stopped rolling, Tom did hand Esther the badge! Well deserved, indeed! He's not *completely* ruthless. 🤣

[@kristinahebdon686]

That’s wonderful thanks Adam and you really didn’t send the mug all the way to NY did you?!!! 😅
