No trials or tribulations for the Goat Posse this year: just some smooth running in the production department. A true group effort from Six to Seven Goats that completed the intro, including a cameo from Judge Al Neff. Be sure to check out the “Ambulance Chasers” series and a clever Night Court sketch. This year was the 30th anniversary of the Hamsters and this contest marked their retirement. We wrote them a swan song.
The ever-growing song department pooped out FIVE of them and from disparate marauding bands of troubadours.
The aforementioned Backstreet spoof to honor the Hamsters along with a Hamilton remake, a Bruno Mars attempt, and from Skinny D and the Boys a song with one obscure Easter egg. See if you can find it.
- 2023 – Intro – “Trivia On Trial”
Producers: B-A, Captain F, Cobby, Coco, Dubs, Drrrty A, and Oates
The Intro is our opening statement. We spend months in voir dire, selecting only the most objective quotes. We question the music, we cross-examine the order of the clips, and then we close with our final argument before the judges you, the Trivia Jury. Special thanks to Judge Neff for presiding.

We will always listen to the aircheck versions of the Trivia Intro with sweet melancholy, especially this one, as it would be the last to feature Jo McMullen-Boyer.
The first Trivia Intro was made in 2001. While the basic format has changed, we have tweaked and tweaked. In 2010, we made our first “toss” to the Trivia hosts and announced their names in the piece. Another watershed year was 2015, Game Of Trivia when our toss to the hosts was met with almost show-stopping laughter from The Goatmother, Jo.

Editors: B-A, Cobby, Drrrty A, Dubs, Oates, FoP GnavinThe Year-In-Review is a very hard piece to produce. It would be easy to just run a clip piece of the things the Posse produced and call it good. Your Goats have innovated once again. For the third year in a row, we have mined the live air archive to include gems that were said on the air along with interactions between the phone bank and teams. Not since the challenge line died has the entire radio audience heard the many-faced god that is Trivia.

- I’ll Be Back
Producer: Bear
Lyrics: Captain F, Dazeem, Fluffer, and Phal
Vocals: Phal, The Goat Posse Writers ChorusIn earlier times, a song was how we educated the masses. It happened again with the musical “Hamilton” as certain factions of society have devalued formal education. Trivia has always championed the search for knowledge and players bravely question their leaders despite the tyrants that rule their world.

Lyrics: Rhyminister, Pissboy, FoP Lindsey, Princess Buttercup, FoP Winston
Vocals: FoP Winston, RhyministerWhen it comes to Trivia players, teams, and the resultant standings; one emotional undercurrent always exists: lament. Lament about answers that should have been given, about food consumed, or showers skipped. In this song, we don’t lament Bruno Mars but this ballad is for the lamenters and the lamentables.
