2 Dudes Doin' Trivia
Just a couple of dudes asking each other trivia questions. Each episode we come up with a game type, categories, or other fun way to try and stump each other!
TFW a free hint complicates matters
We are back! Busy busy time in the professional lives of the Dudes Who Quiz, but happy you're here now to spend some time with us :) Daniel types a lot in this episode I am noticing in post. Also Spoiler Alert: This may be the 2DDT season of Legally Blonde.
Our interest segment this week covers the sun's gravity and plane toilets.
For our game segment we have sets on subjects What's In a Name, Rye, Crescents, and "ts".
"umm....you *hit* a home run. You wouldn't say you *score* a home run"
Welcome back! In classic fashion my posing as a sports person has been uncovered. I was hoisted by own petard and you'll have to listen to understand how running homers may quickly become my new grand slam. At least Will's sets bring us some laughs to aid in my sportsular recovery. And yes, its one of those episodes that involves singing.
Hope you've been keeping well and this episode catches you in your annual penultimate ides of March prep week. I always forget to prepare for the ides but honestly so little bad has happened to me...
Poetry is the albatross around my neck
Welcome back and thanks for joining us! Not much introductory ramble today, so hope you jump right into the episode and have some laughs.
This episode we have sets on Things That Happened in the Decade 1990s, Pregnant People, Single-Word Band Names, and Rhyming Answers!
You know how to contact as by now, so make sure you do so, and next time you'll be hearing from us, it'll be March!
The one where Daniel gives away the answer to one clue by asking an earlier one
Welcome back! We hit a potential 2DDT milestone-ish! Once this episode goes live, it may be the case that we've been using our intro music for two years now! Fun! On to the game.
Daniel messed up a few of these clues, but hoping you'll find this episode more entertaining than edifying. These and/or those categories this week are: Words of the Year 2025, Bobs, Daniel's New Hobby of Mixology, Catchers
Send us an email (you know where) and have a guess at what Daniel jokingly calls AI slop which he bleeped out in post. H...
"...old lonely bastards?....oh Bachelors!?"
We are back! Happy late January! We are coming to you in the wake of, if some random Reddit post is to be believed, Ontario's being the coldest place in the world a couple days ago due to a polar vortex. It's probably still chilly this Sunday morning so get your headphones on or your speakers plugged in and play along with us while staying cozy! We even had a couple bonus baseball clues so hope you enjoy those or you know where the "skip 30 seconds" button is ;)
This week we have our classic...
Season 9 starts... now! Is that a protein or a lipid or a sugar?
Hello everyone! We are delighted to be back in studio for a staggering-to-us ninth season of 2 Dudes Doin' Trivia! As always, thanks to all the long time listeners, and welcome to the new ones :)
Season 9 once again features our classic game type: This or That. We present each other two sets of clues and we pick "this category" or "that category" to play this episode, and defer the other category to a future episode. We do that twice for four total sets! We and the listeners really enjoy this game!
But that's not all! We...
The season 8 finale AND 100th episode :o
That's right. We barely believe it ourselves. This is our 100th episode. We want to thank all the listeners, especially those who DM or email us with feedback and ideas. Special shout out to all our guests so far, too! We are so happy some of you've had enough fun listening to us that you wanted join in.
2DDT started with the two of us reading trivial pursuit cards over Discord for fun, and one day we simultaneously suggested that maybe our normal day-to-day quizzing hobby could be something we record and share with people to listen t...
Will teaches words stimpmeter and accipter and Daniel ruins one of his own questions
"We are pretty confident this episode will be the one after the sports special episode." Nope! Its the one after the one after the sports special it turns out! Sorry folks!
"This episode will be posted on the second of August" Ouf 0-2 in terms of the timing of this episode and how we planned it. But no worries! We're at it now!
Join us for another week of 2 Dudes Quizzin'! Sorry, I meant 2 Dudes Doin' Trivia! This week we have sets on the following categories: August, Things That Are at Least in Part Related...
A gonggong show, sing-song episode
Hi everyone! Welcome back. The uploads are less frequent than we would like but we are still operational here at 2DDT HQ!
Following our two-parter sports special, we are back on the This or That game, our favourite! This week's sets include subjects Fury, Historical Tweets, Glass, and '90s Song Hooks by Will's Renditions.
**Daniel here: just realized I ordered these episodes wrong. So this week's episode is, in a way, a glimpse into the future, and the next one will be a blast from the past? In a way all episodes are from...
Its the 2025 2DD Sports Trivia Special (Part II)!
Hello! Welcome back to part 2 of our sports special with our friend John! Last episode we heard about Young Americans and Sports Last Year (2024). This week how will Will and John fare in the categories of So Close, and Informal Statistical Clubs. Have a listen and find out !

**At around 10:40, Daniel mixes up Thomas Cromwell with Oliver and Richard Cromwell. What a blunder!
...something, something Jump! That's a song, right?
So sorry for the late release and overall delay in getting episodes out! The summer days are longer and that just means we've been busy with non-podcast stuff!
Thanks for your patience with us and we hope you enjoy this episode, which includes some BTS fact checking and silliness we've temporarily called "2DDT raw." Also there was some quality issues on Daniel's recording but hopefully its all sorted for Episode 5 of this season coming to you in a few weeks.
This week's quizzes are on topics include Panama, Islands, That's What She Said, and...
Talkin' Trees is a Treat with this Special Guest!
Hello everyone! We have a very special bonus episode to share with you and we hope you'll like it! Was tons of fun to record and was great sharing some laughs.

That's right: from time to time you might see some bonus content on Sundays but regular season stuff will be biweekly. Don't fret! Absence makes the heart grow fonder and we hope you find your fondness for our biweekly quizzing fete.
This episode has us back on our favourite game type called "This or That" where Will and Daniel choose one of two categories in the "This"...
Pre-season 8 opposite over adjacent
That's right! We go on a 3-minute long tangent on a sport that has not got much air time on 2DDT in the past! We're sure you'll enjoy us nerd out a little bit before the real nerdery of S8 begins.
We'll be coming back with Season 8 soon! In the meantime, join us for a little life update, a few laughs, and questions about Asia and Fishers.

Guglielmo Macaroni
Laid back episode this week. Daniel quizzes Will on things around Ottawa, while Will's tests Daniel's knowledge of the East Coast!
Full disclosure: Will is NOT from Ethiopia
We are slowly winding down operations here at 2DDT HQ with our last "This or That" of Season 7! It's been fun, and this episode was especially funny (if not painful), and we've got a few more episodes ahead before the planning for Season 8 gets underway.
This episode, like other This or Thats, we have four sets each on a different category. Those categories are Bread, Bender, South, and Standard Measurements.
Hot take from Daniel: Any potato in any form is good
Hello! Join us this week for more This or That where there is at least one potato-related question. Also this episode is a 2DDT first (if our record keeping has been sound up until this point). Categories this episode include Outlaws, The Americans, Fry, and Cities.
Drop us a line if, when Daniel says "8:16 on a Sunday morning", it is 8:16 on a Sunday morning for you!
We are graced by another guest host this season!
Instead or more This or That, we are joined this week by long-time friend of the podcast Eden! She hosts as Will and Daniel go head-to-head on two sets on a hidden theme.

You had to have been there (5,500 years ago) to get that joke
The Dudes are back in studio with our most favourite format: This or That. We had tons of fun with this one. Hear four sets of clues on: Not Quite the Same Name, Guys Named Nick, Non-Standard Measurements. and Modern Family.
And Daniel was serious: send in your favourite word with more than one c where the cs are pronounced differently! And while we're at it, here's a silly fact: when you say "apart" your lips touch, but when you say "touch" they stay apart. See you next week!
**We know Chechnyans are not from...
Missing that one really Rouen-ed Will's day...

Pre-Season 7 world capitals quiz!
Hello! Join us for a short, laid-back episode where Will tests Daniel's knowledge of world capitals after having brazenly claimed he knew them all at the end of Season 6. See you next week for Season 7 of 2DDT!
**Around five minutes in Daniel said that a tall building is being built in Malaysia called Merdeka 116. Its actually called Merdeka 118.
The Season 6 Finale where Daniel forgets where he lives!
Welcome back to our season finale! Something a little different today: rapid fire-ish trivia chain where either the question or answer to the first question leads to the second question, which leads to the third and so on.
We appreciate all the listener feedback and can't wait to see you in a few weeks for Season 7!
"...though, the intonation was superfluous."
We wrap up this season's second and final installment of This or That with good trivia and some laughs. The categories this episode are SOS, Chips, Dee Dee Dee, and Questions Will wrote over the Easter weekend.
See you next week for the 2DDT Season 6 finale!
** If you listen closely, at around 3:37 we witness a natural spoonerism! Daniel says "Bind-Mody dualism" when he meant "Mind-Body dualism!" Neat!
Damn, that was the only song I know!
It is our penultimate "This or That" episode for season 6! The quizzes on a theme this episode include Sour, Soft Cell, March Madness and Doo doo doo. See you next week!
**Around 15 minutes in, I actually did in fact conflate Julius Erving with "Coach" (and not "Doctor" )K.
And that's why I still get jealous
Sorry for the late upload! More of our favourite "this or that" style episode. This week the Dudes play five questions on the subjects of Turf, ArtPop, Fish, and Guts.
Comments, questions and errata can be sent to the email address at the end of the episode. See you next week!
We promise no more Pitch Perfect trivia this season (after this episode)

A Mid-season break from "This or That"
We're bringing back the Rapid Fire questions for this episode! 12 questions each will determine who is the greater quizzer under time pressure (for this episode).
*About six minutes in, that show we couldn't remember the name of is The Kids in the Hall
It is not called Hip-Hopture
We were eager to record another in-person session and the stars aligned for it to happen (with a couple espresso martinis to boot!)! Join us to close out the first This or That series of season 6, where we quiz each other on the leftover categories of the series: Where Is That Place, Autoamerican, Movie Trivia Written By Some One Who Knows (Next To) Nothing About Movies, and King, which we forgot to do in person because we were distracted by all the fun we were having.
The one with Scottish and Cockney accents
This week we finally play through the category known as "Hath" which was deferred since Week 1! Other categories played this episode are Blank and Blank, Things that are Called Things in Different Places, and B.B.!
See you next week :)
