This episode is a bit of an apology to the nice people of Puerto Rico. I had intended to include them with the Washington DC episode last year. Time got away from me, and I had way too many DC questions. So, I resolved to give Puerto Rico its own spotlight, albeit a little late.
Puerto Ricans are every bit as much US citizens and those of us in the states. If you’d like to learn more about them, I’ll include links on DorkyGeekyNerdy.com, including information about the Jones Act. It’s a bit of old school protectionism that should be revisited in the 21st century.
I’ll be back here next week with another episode. Here’s a clue:
What Marvel character is sometimes known as "the man without fear"?
More comic book character trivia. And it’s one with a new series coming to Disney+. See you back here next Wednesday.

Also, these episodes eventually go up on YouTube, so let me know there if you listen via that platform.
We’ll be back next week with another episode of the show. Here’s a clue to tide you over:

I remember watching the first movie just after graduating high school. I think I cried when we got our first full glimpse of dinosaurs.
Tell what your favorite part of the series has been. If you haven’t read the original book, I highly recommend it. It’s a touch dated, but the concepts in there are still relevant today.
I’ll see you back here next week for another episode. Here’s a clue:
Which DC superhero debuted in July 1940 and is still in print to this day?
It’s been so long since I’ve done a comic book episode. I’m excited for this one. I have a whole bunch of comic book trivia episodes on the schedule this year. If we haven’t covered your favorite yet, let me know.

So, as we get further on, you can start doing a process of elimination to figure out the answer.
Got it? Like I said, it’s a big long episode so make sure you’ve got your coffee before diving in. Maybe do some stretches. OK? Let’s get started.

Episode Intro
200 episodes? That calls for something special!
Hey gang, I’m your host, Brian Rollins and this is the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. 200 episodes? Yep, 200. So, for that milestone, we’re stepping away from the states to cover the US Capital, Washington, DC.
It’s the same format as always, three rounds of ten questions each. But we’ve done this a few times, so most of you know the drill.
With that, let’s get going.
The Dorky Round
- What is the address of the White House? 1600 Pennsylvania Ave
- What river forms the Southwestern border of Washington DC? The Potomac
- What TV show, beginning in 1999 and starring Martin Sheen, was named for a part of the White House? The West Wing
- What engineer, TV host, and science educator was born in DC in 1955? Bill Nye (The Science Guy)
- Born in Washington, DC in 1948, what actor has appeared in the Star Wars, Marvel, and Jurassic Park franchises? Samuel L Jackson
- What two states border the District of Columbia? Maryland and Virginia
- What is the name of the park that runs from the Potomac River to the US Capitol Building? The National Mall
- Large crowds gather for each presidential inauguration, which inauguration had the largest crowd? Barack Obama's first inauguration in 2009. The National Park Service estimates about 1.8 million people attended. For comparison, the 2017 inauguration has less than a quarter of that.
- What Tennessee Senator, Vice President, and 2000 Presidential candidate was born in DC in 1948? Al Gore
- What FBI director for six presidents was born in and died in Washington DC? J Edgar Hoover
The Geeky Round
- What 2009 Dan Brown novel and sequel to The Da Vinci Code takes place in and around Washington DC? The Lost Symbol
- Which branch of the US government resides at the US Capitol Building? The Legislative Branch (The House and the Senate)
- What sits at the western end of the National Mall in Washington? The Lincoln Memorial
- The cherry trees found around Washington DC were a gift from what city? Tokyo.
- The British Army set fire to the White House during which war? The War of 1812
- A native of DC, what cartoonist created Calvin and Hobbes in 1985? Bill Watterson
- Though he calls North Carolina home, what late night host and former Daily Show correspondent was born in Washington in 1964? Stephen Colbert
- Born in DC in 1960, what presidential son died in a plane crash in 1999? John F Kennedy Jr
- Before she was Willow on Buffy The Vampire Slayer or Lily on How I Met Your Mother, what actress was born in Washington in 1974? Alyson Hannigan
- What HBO comedy, running from 2012-2019, is set in DC and starred Julia Louis-Dreyfus? Veep
The Nerdy Round
- What Sci-fi villain is sculpted into the Washington National Cathedral as a gargoyle? Darth Vader
- Who was the first president to reside in the White House? John Adams. Though the building wouldn't be completed until the Jefferson Administration
- Traditionally, the Vice-President resides where? The Naval Observatory
- Before it was known as the White House, what was the building named? The Presidential Palace. Theodore Roosevelt officially changed the name in 1901.
- What phrase is found on District of Columbia license plates? Taxation without representation. Residents are rightfully salty about not having a voice in Congress
- What composer of The Stars and Stripes Forever was, fittingly, born in Washington in 1854? John Philip Sousa
- What 2006 Mike Judge movie gave us an alarming look at a future Washington DC? Idiocracy
- Who was the first president to die in the White House? William Henry Harrison. He fell ill and died just 30 days after his inauguration.
- A copy of what famous document is buried under the Washington Monument? The US Constitution
- Which memorial would you find on the southern edge of the Tidal Basin? The Jefferson Memorial
Episode Conclusion
And that wraps up the District of Columbia. Want more trivia?
- The city is a 10-mile square and the site was chosen by George Washington.
- The capitol’s size is actually laid out in the Constitution, but doesn’t specify a location.
- The song, “The Room Where It Happened” from the musical, Hamilton, is about the compromise that moved the capital from New York to a place further south. Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson came to the agreement in exchange for the federal government assuming the states’ debts from the Revolutionary War.
- If DC became a state today, it would be larger (in population) than Vermont or Wyoming.
DC is impressive and chock full of history. Every American should go at some point in their lives. It should surprise no one that I’m a huge museum nerd and Washington is full of them. There’s also something special about reading the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution from the original document.
Thanks for joining me on 200 episodes. I couldn’t do this without your support. For those of you still trying to figure out the order of these episodes, do not factor this episode into that order. It’s a special case. We’ll be back to more US states next week. Here’s a clue:
What is the only New England state we haven't covered yet?
Kind of a meta trivia question, huh? You might have to do some research on it. Good luck.
This has been episode 200 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. The theme music is by Jason Shaw at Audionautix.com.
This show is written, produced, and hosted by me, Brian Rollins. You can find me at TheVoicesInMyHead.com.

Hey gang, I’m your host Brian Rollins and this is episode 199 of the Dorky Geeky Nerdy Trivia Podcast. This week, we’re traveling to South Dakota.
Now, I know the state is famous for basically one thing, but we’re going to try and make sure we cover its history, geography, and some pop culture while we’re visiting.

I think we’ve got everything we need, so let’s start the show.

Episode Conclusion
And that covers South Dakota this week. Hungry from some more trivia? Here are a few bonus facts.
- South Dakota and North Dakota became states at the same time.
- When President Harrison signed the two statehood documents, they were shuffled and no one knows which became a state first. Traditionally, North Dakota is listed as the 39th and South Dakota is 40th because N comes before S in the alphabet.
- The state is the 17th in size and 46th in population.
- 450,000 tons of rock was removed to make the monument at Mt. Rushmore.
- According to the engineers that maintain the monument, none of the rock on either side is suitable for carving. So no further presidents will likely be added.
I’ve been to South Dakota twice and it’s beautiful. Mt. Rushmore is impressive, but there is a lot to see in the area including caves and some impressive fossil beds, if that’s your thing.
We’ll be back again next week with another episode but not another state. Here’s your clue:
What city is the 23rd largest in the US, but does not reside in any US state?
Not a state? Well, it’s our 200th episode! So I wanted to do something different. See you back here next Wednesday.

I highly recommend reading more about the Black Wall Street massacre if you’re interested in untold history. It’s a frightening event in US history that doesn’t make a lot of school textbooks. I’ll include some links in the show notes for some good resources.
I’ve been to Oklahoma a few times, my good friend and college roommate is from Duncan. While the state is frighteningly flat for someone who lives in Colorado, it’s very pretty and the people are delightfully friendly.
We’ll be back next week with another show and another state, here’s a clue:
By act of Congress, what is the only US state named after a President?
OK, so they aren’t all hard clues. I try to give you a break every now and then. See you back here next Wednesday.

- All the ginseng produced in the US comes from Wisconsin. They account for about 10% of the world’s production of it.
- Like a lot of Midwestern states, it’s named after a river, the Wisconsin River.
- From 1895 to 1967 margarine was prohibited in the state. I assume because they wanted to sell their own dairy products.
- Wisconsin was the 30th state to enter the union.
- It’s 20th in population and 23rd in area.
I’ve never made it to Wisconsin, but I’m a huge fan of all things dairy, so I’m sure I’ll find something to entertain myself while I’m there. What should I visit in Wisconsin?
We’ll be back here next week with another three rounds of questions. Here’s a little clue to tide you over:
What state is home to the longest NASCAR oval track?
If you know much about NASCAR, it should narrow it down for you. See you back here next Wednesday.

Hey gang. Welcome to our first minisode! Minisodes are quick, 10-question episodes that I’m dropping in as bonus content. The first few will go out to everyone, but eventually these will become extras for supporters of the show.
What can you expect from minisodes? Well, think of them as quick fixes of fun trivia a lot like a single category in Jeopardy. For example, this episode features ten actors and actresses that never won an Academy Award. I’m not including honorary Oscars for lifetime achievement and stuff like that. And, these are all actors that have passed away.
Got it? Let’s go.
