  286: Technically Canadian 08.07.2026 1h 33min

Kathy Campbell, Chip Sudderth, and Shelly Brisbin take on Monty Ashley, Annette Wierstra, and Tony Sindelar in a battle of wits to the pain as host Dan Moren and scorekeeper Lex Friedman keep order....

  Low Definition returns in a a special episode commemorating it’s tenth(ish) anniversary! Well, it’s not that special, in that there are still definitions to be determined, silliness to be had, and merriment to ensue, but that’s what you’re all here for anyway, right?...
