Ep 9, Pt 5: The Power of Pudding, Technically Correct with David Blair

Healthy pudding. I know! I’ve been lied to my whole life.

And yes, I know that healthy is a relative term. If you add things like whole milk and sugar and other reasons to live the health value decreases. Still, the idea of pudding for breakfast is any child’s dream. Marie lives up to those dreams with her Home Ec & Wellness quiz. 

What does it take to make a healthy pudding? Does our faculty get it right? Well, Bob actually tried to, and was technically correct. We weren’t playing Technically Correct yet, so it doesn’t count. The rest? Well, you have to watch and find out because that’s how clickbait works.

We then dive into fan-favorite Technically Correct. Four descriptions of films that are technically correct. Four correct answers. 16 attempts at success. It’s the one game where the actual answer can matter. Which one of our faculty members get it right? Again, see above.

All this and more with our faculty of improvisers and actors in Part 5 of Balderdash Academy with Visiting Professor David Blair.
