Scott brings back the physical and mental challenge of Treadmill Trivia, this time recruiting guest Edith Bowman to run on the machine while answering questions. The episode also features a caller with an irrational—and vocally defended—hatred of Sandra Bullock.
The show opens with Scott preparing for another round of Treadmill Trivia, this time suited up in protective gear including a helmet, elbow pads, and knee pads following a previous mishap. He picks envelope two, landing on wine trivia—a subject he admits he only knows from drinking rather than connoisseurship. Questions range from the number of acres planted to grapes worldwide to the percentage of oak trees suitable for wine barrel production, with the treadmill speed increasing with each wrong answer. Scott manages the physical comedy of wearing a helmet while trying to keep headphones on.
Later, Edith Bowman arrives to take her turn on the treadmill, picking envelope three for a films category. Her performance sees her tackle questions about films including *Daddy Daycare*, *King of Comedy*, and David Lynch’s *Wild at Heart*, with the machine gradually accelerating as she struggles with answers.
The episode also features a phone-in segment where callers ring in to discuss their own irrational celebrity hatreds. One caller has an inexplicable dislike of Cat Deeley, analyzing her hand movements and lip mannerisms in detail. Another caller reveals their irrational hatred involves actors drinking empty cups of tea on television. Scott explores these quirky audience phobias with good-natured curiosity, even suggesting passing messages to celebrities about their perceived annoying habits.
