He looks so poor.

[@Gunnnyyy]

It's kinda weird to see Marques without the Vision pro😭

[@HAFBeast91]

He looks so poor.

[@mohammedfaiisal]

I think it was filmed before, as they said its still January

[@LightslicerGP]

FRRRR😭

[@Willimoutarde11]

I wonder.. in a handful of years, will vr people have the "headset head dent" but in their faces?😂

[@Mirtual]

he's only worn it once chill

[@spencerkrey8307]

I started jumping and screaming “He carried the one”

[@AleXacokkieey]

I STARTED CLAPPLYING LOUDLY LMAO

[@ShivanshuGupta37]

1:30:55 The Man, the Myth, the Legend. He carried the 1 😮 🎉

Spoiler alert bro 😂

HE CARRIED THE ONEEEE

Where can I see the context for Carry The One? 😂😂😂

[@shsd4130]

Just here to say that the "I craw-wish" Dad joke at 54:35 did not go unappreciated

[@karasekjh]

I demand an explanation. English is not my first language.

[@MrSirGloomy]

@@karasekjh’Wish’ rhymes with Fish. Craw Fish

[@karasekjh]

@@MrSirGloomy I don't know how that can be funny. But it does not matter. Probably one of those things that doesn't translate well. 🙂

[@shsd4130]

@@karasekjh you are correct, it is not funny. "Dad joke" means somebody made a bad attempt at a joke, but it was not funny, but they said it anyway. I appreciated it, not because it is funny, but because I like when people try stuff even when it does not work

[@bleachaholic247]

He carried the one! Take a bow Andrew xD

[@zyork24]

An extra episode during the week is like an accidental curly fry in a box of regular fries

[@jayshukla7866]

You don't take a man's accidental curly fry. You take a man's life before you take his accidental curly fry.

lmaoo

[@JoJoEdits]

HE CARRIED THE ONE! 😮🤣

[@wolfthunder3480]

Perfect time to watch a bonus episode on a weekday

[@moldytexas]

precisely

[@AliBros]

Halfway through watching this and I don’t remember ever rooting for anyone in any completion like I am for Andrew right now!

[@AliBros]

Hell yes! HE CARRIED THE ONE 🥳

[@jcurrie314]

We need more Ellis in our lives, particularly explaining the differences between analogue video and audio

[@idenkilla]

The audio round is 😂😂😂.. the bleeps get me every time

[@mrdecember]

183 Chicken Wings in 12 Minutes is INSANE

[@ajbp95]

That's one wing in LESS than 4 seconds!

[@JoJoEdits]

I don’t know if I’ve ever laughed so hard watching an episode of Waveform 🤣 Great Job guys! You kill it every week with these episodes!

[@jjunture]

Thank you, Adam for declaring that Radio Shack was dope back in the day. I was yelling “Tandy Radio Shack” at my phone for the last 5 minutes.

[@falconmcleod-shabogesic790]

He carried his one kid into this world and carried the one that mattered for the win! This is Andrew’s year XD

[@peteo4328]

i'm not even done with the vid but i am OBSESSED with everyone's pure banter/dynamic 39:02

[@EthanFerguson]

HE CARRIED THE ONE TO VICTORY 👑

[@juanpocholo]

On one podcast you mentioned me since I made the joke about Andrew needing to step it up (re: Adam's Carry the One joke) and look how far we've come. #CarryTheOne since day one!

[@daledavies_me]

Yes! PLEASE tour this and do live trivia shows! And some live podcast specials too!

[@genedavis6380]

Great show. Always fun to look at trvia through the eyes of a 60 year old geek. My dad bought me a pong and all the kids in the neighborhood had to come over. The sad part of adjusting for inflation is that the salary of a high school teacher should be around $320000.

[@MarsOtter]

to andrew lurking in the comments tonight hey 😛

[@richardparadox163]

How poetic that the point that made Andrew the winner was a Taylor’s Version question, you couldn’t write this underdog story any better. Perfect, no notes. Congrats from the Swifties Andrew! 🥳

[@AleXacokkieey]

WOO HOO

[@lilmamaxyungpapa]

Well the point that really made Andrew the winner was that one they took away from David when he pushed his button second time when it was Marques' turn

[@samcookD]

I would have never thought thought DatPiff would be brought up on waveform

[@symphoniez]

Same - was sad it got crickets lol.

[@DaKoin]

Sameeee!!

[@pedrovitorrodriguesdasilva6798]

FINALLY! Andrew my absolutely favorite

[@Arsalan_2210]

Lol that sweet home Alabama was epic Marques! I laughed so hard!

[@jeffreysmith4586]

Wait having an audience for the Trivia Finale would be awesome! I'd pay to come watch!

[@vinny1-08]

I swear to god, I smiled so hard when you carried the one.😂

[@Shadowbandit]

If only marques didn't bet those points

[@DaKoin]

But I didn't see them get removed during the episode

[@jaceshelton6111]

Sometimes I forget that I actually used The Rock's alarm clock for a time in 2016. One of its features was a daily "motivational video" from him which turned out to just be a quote edited over a picture of him with some music lmao

[@JoshuaGarcia-dj7mc]

TRIVIA EXTRAVAGANZA

[@divano1014]

I liked being informed throughout the episode of what font that david was writing in

[@pointmutationVR]

This episode was so fun! I only started watching you folks here and there once in a while and this is the first time for me watching a trivia episode. Now I gotta go watch your other trivia episodes now!!

[@rodriadre]

That was awesome 🎉 Great episode guys!! Congratulations to Andrew well deserved 🥳.... I can't be more happy for you 😅 💪

[@CGGGaming]

Shoutout Andrew, bro deserved it

[@lackoliver55]

I like how many of these guess the price questions were related to Retro Tech videos Marques himself produced. But has done so much since then he forgot about them.

[@francescafernandez2417]

I listen on Spotify but came to comment because i was jumping and cheering at the winner, been rooting for him the whole very rough season. It’s like being a fan of the knicks fan for 20 years then they randomly win 🎉

[@lucasnseyep7987]

Let's go Andrew!!! Carry the one king

[@dit100]

Thank you for saving the day. Sitting at work with nothing to listen to then I got the notification!!

[@thesaralkumar]

55:59 love this format all the more, took audio trivia to the next level.

[@robertwilcox9566]

Ellis binged technology connections and then made a trivia show

[@Marty_Stylist]

Well David, it sounds like your father is the reason you're a techie person. That's cool. You probably had an outstanding home stereo system

[@Blackbird9070]

Trivia Finale episodes are easily the most fun podcasts 🎉

[@WilsonFerguson]

I love the matching whiteboards with their hoodie colors, nice attention to detail

[@techjocky3428]

These finale are always the most funny episodes of the whole year. Keep em comin

[@fnatiks701]

I couldn't stop laughing together with David at every beep during audio round.

[@CreaminFreeman]

Trivia extravaganza always hits me right where I need it to, but now that a fellow 90's baby also into F1 and mechanical keyboards, this was a little extra special. Victory looks good on you, Andrew!

[@Junier-Hussein]

Brilliant episode guys thoroughly enjoyed it 😊

[@MRLNLY]

Congrats Victor! Brought a tear to my eye

[@vtizzel]

29:12 😂 Marques was appalled☠️☠️

[@user-nx8pv5oi4w]

meme format

[@mon699]

Monumental! Thoroughly enjoyed this! Choked on water while laughing 😭😭 well done Andrew!!!!

[@JaapvanderVelde]

Born in 1975, this is the first WVFRM Podcast that has me yelling at the screen - these kiids!

[@PoDaHPanda]

I love this episode so much. Thank you so much for making this so so much fun!

[@SamRiesgo]

When David pressed right before Marques, I CRIED!! Loved it!

[@origosis]

You missed the BEST fun fact about the TRS-80 It's nick name is "Trash 80" BTW Love this segment. I grew up as all of these releases and remember following every bit of news and reviews about each, then watching for sales, then later hunting in yard sales for used versions of most of the products on here.

[@akpopgirlsthoughts]

the episode i look forward to most every year

[@burnttoast6397]

Andrew only won by 1 point, and at 29:20 he gets an extra point just for paying attention and correcting Ellis lol. You love to see attentiveness paying off!

[@Mark-qb8ek]

The one we’ve all been waiting for!

[@vaikunthramakrishnan]

Is it possible to have a wide shot with all 3 of them in the frame when they all reveal their answers? Asking as a fan. Amazing job everyone! Love your work!

[@francisyuweh706]

Congrats!!! wont spoil, but definitely well played^ Just enjoy guys! and more trivias to watch for this year

[@ricfwolff]

The announcements guessing are the best! Loved it.

[@Undeadwilly13]

The buzzers part was just gold. Thank you guys for another great podcast!

[@ali-r8263]

I always look forward to the bonus episodes!

[@jpay]

7:07 Ellis said HEIF & HEVC. 8:33 Adam 'incorrectly' said the latter stands for High Efficiency Video Coding *Format* (it's just High Efficiency Video Coding). It's also not strictly a video format; it's an encoding standard for videos & images (when contained in HEIF files, they are HEIC files).

[@LurkerPatrol5]

I've been waiting for this one for MONTHS bro, I'm so excited

[@caP.n_Jazz]

These are amazing. Never stop

[@anilpirwanii]

I got 13 points in this trivia extravaganza and that's one point more than MKBHD so imma go and start my yt channel! wish me luck!!

[@wm_]

LETS GO i've been waiting for this since last friday's episode!!!

[@thunbergmartin]

Love you guys, thanks for filling my evening a bit lighthearted fun 💕

[@Leanzazzy]

Bleeping the techs' speeches is so funny. Just imagine them saying the f-word every time 😂 "I had to leave this fing office and go get this fing thing, using my amazing f technique." 1:11:11 How did none of them get the Iris Scanner one? Samsung is the only one that actually got proper, medical-grade infrared Iris scanners on their phones. I remember it was such a big deal and I loved it. I'm also surprised they didn't get the acronyms. I knew nearly all of them (and the ones I didn't I correctly guessed) and I don't review and work with tech for a living.

[@jzzsxm]

Last trivia question should be "How much sleep is Marques currently operating with?"

[@mohamadmrad]

goooooooo BLOWFISH!!!!!! I was hoping Andrew wins with low expectations. but you did it 🎉

[@bleachaholic247]

Damn. Unexpected Tuesday surprise

[@Artytanium]

This was the best trivia episode so far!

[@chiesathio5916]

Such a nice surprise to get this ep on a weekday

[@morticiahavisham]

57:30 the bleeping got me laughing so much i woke up my husband 😂 at least yall didn’t use the SpongeBob dolphin censor or i think I would’ve died 😂😂😂

[@t.pisani8239]

I honestly don't care for the trivia episodes that much but I really appreciate how much work goes into researching the questions. Great job, Ellis and Adam!

[@Mr_NB628]

26:12 what Andrew was talking about exists. It’s called the big Mac index. It is also used to determine how more expensive things are other countries.

[@SubTheHan]

I needed this so badly

[@SonicBlastGamingCSGOmore]

LETS GO BONUS EPISODE! I dont have to wait till friday

[@duuhmojo9552]

Great episode, need more trivia contests.

[@Brion83]

I love that David had a point taken away just because Marques' buzzer played David's name at 1:17:49 and Andrew said minus one point. Well played

[@itsmikedrop]

1:17:54 Why does Andrew deducts one point from David?

[@GabbiHilson]

Even though y’all said to expect this episode last week, I still asked myself if it was Friday hahaha

[@iambestthankyou]

It's a tie!!!!!! Andrew said - 1 and David's scored reduced by 1. 1:17:52

[@anilpirwanii]

I think David actually got penalized for that lol

[@3Leches]

Loved this episode! Congrats Andrew (HE CARRIED THE 1)

[@Marty_Stylist]

Oh my God I love how young you guys are. It's killing me cuz this stuff is so almost yesterday for me. But yeah the cassette player was the first thing to carry music with you

[@dubbleA100]

I think the 2 hours of vision pro melted Marques's brain

[@arro-pie]

I did not see that ending coming! WOO!!!!

[@JSS75]

Man what an episode, classic!

[@midnight_yota]

David’s dad humor flies under their radar sometimes and it’s so funny to me 😂

[@imicca]

Andrew’s buzzer should be “carry the one”

[@christianoseguera4373]

David talking over the audio portion was super frustrating. I was trying to guess too!!💀

[@josephrener1]

Trivia Time! 🎉 This is going to be good . 👏

Get TC Alec into a Waveform Podcast special already :) Also this episode was very funny, thanks for a good laugh! :D

[@Ogni]

HE CARRIED THE 1!!! Congrats!

[@bryan_turner]

Andrew wins! LFG!!!! Now we need a "carry the one" shirt 🤣

[@RobertC1345]

The look on Ellis's face and his "Ohh..." when they gave out their answers for the VCR question kills me 😂
