Trivia Thursday Recap #1: SF Tree History, Gossip Girl & The Groupthink Effect
<p>In this week’s Trivia Tangents, I’m recapping a humbling (and borderline traumatic) trivia night in San Francisco that perfectly demonstrates the groupthink effect.</p><p>We’re talking Sutro Forest tree history, a Gossip Girl lunch location I absolutely overcomplicated, a heated Louisiana vs. Alaska river debate, and a full-on SF geography meltdown involving Moscone Center and Yerba Buena Gardens. In multiple rounds, I either changed the correct answer… or didn’t fight hard enough for someone else’s.</p><p>This episode is about what happens when you second-guess yourself, let the loudest voice win, or talk yourself out of your first instinct. It turns out trivia night isn’t always about knowledge, sometimes it’s all down to the psychology of the game. </p><p>If you’ve ever confidently erased the right answer, this one’s for you.</p><p>***</p><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a positive rating, share it with a friend, and follow to get notified when new episodes drop every Thursday!</p><p><strong>Have a topic you’d love us to cover or want to be a guest? </strong>Fill out the form here: <a href="https://triviatangentspodcast.com/contact"><u>https://triviatangentspodcast.com/contact</u></a></p><p><strong>Let’s connect!</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/triviatangents/"><u>https://www.instagram.com/triviatangents/</u></a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@linabobinalina"><u>https://www.tiktok.com/@linabobinalina</u></a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LinaOsofsky/shorts"><u>https://www.youtube.com/@LinaOsofsky/shorts</u></a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://triviatangentspodcast.com/"><u>https://triviatangentspodcast.com/</u></a><br></p>

Tangent No. 1 The Time a Rat Gave Birth in My Car
<p>In this first-ever Mini Tangents episode of <strong>Trivia Tangents</strong>, I’m telling the absolutely unhinged (and very real) story of the time my Toyota Corolla became a home for rats—twice. What started as an innocent Easter-egg chocolate mistake turned into newborn baby rats in my trunk during an 8-hour move from Santa Barbara to Davis, a crowd of strangers offering solutions, a pet snake plot-twist I still think about, and a smell I will never, EVER, forget.</p><p>This episode is pure storytime chaos: panic, gross discoveries, bad ideas, worse smells, and the realization that my car may have been cursed—especially in Davis. If you like wild true stories that make you say “there is no way this actually happened,” this one’s for you. Stay tuned for the next Mini Tangent, which somehow involves another car and Hawaii.</p><p>***</p><p>If you enjoyed this episode, please leave a positive rating, share it with a friend, and follow to get notified when new episodes drop on Thursdays!</p><p><strong>Have a topic you’d love us to cover or want to be a guest?</strong></p><p>Fill out the form here: <a href="https://triviatangentspodcast.com/contact" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://triviatangentspodcast.com/contact</a></p><p><strong>Let’s connect!</strong></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/triviatangents/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/triviatangents/</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@linabobinalina" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.tiktok.com/@linabobinalina</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@LinaOsofsky/shorts" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/@LinaOsofsky/shorts</a></p><p>Website: <a href="https://triviatangentspodcast.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://triviatangentspodcast.com/</a><br /></p>
