Erik Nelson is a lifelong devotee of quiz bowl and a member of the most dominant team in Trivia Mafia's history, Can't Stop Us Meow. Could we stop him to today? To find out, we hit him with a wordplay round about "taking the L," tried to lose him on the '90s music trail, and along the way, learned a lot about quiz bowl, the Eurovision Song Contest, and the flashcarding habits of prospective Jeopardy! players.

Trivia rounds:

(02:58): Syllable Swap!

(22:33): Take the “L”

(29:52): ’90s Music on the Trail

(45:42): Let’s Fly (Airport Trivia)
