THE WRONGEST BOX

Hey, Yogesh! Remember me? You told me if I tried to email you again, you would take it as a form of harassment. So, you know I’m not going to email you. Nope. Instead I’m just going to write some thoughts in an open letter. Maybe you’ll see them. Maybe you won’t. It doesn’t really matter because it likely won’t change your mind as it’s clear nothing will at this point.    So why write this? Well, because you won’t shut up and you keep telling the same lies over and over again and distorting the truth and twisting facts. And while there are people out there who just believe all your drivel, maybe some folks would like to hear a different perspective. So, I thought, “Hey, I had a front row seat to a lot of things. Let’s let it all out.”   Oh, and as you can see, I launched my blog this week. It’s an homage to your blog as you can tell, and it’s all about you because it’s clear you like being the center of attention. Indeed, the whole world should pay attention to Yogesh, who neve

Wargan Dare a friend of the Blog said they were so inspired by my tales of Yogesh it inspired them to write a poem....so I present to you  Ode to Yogesh by Wargan Dare   Yogesh So Vain You walked onto the Sony Lot like you were walking on to your yacht You showed up late you brought out the hate You wanted to show off for the crowd so bragged of beating James nice and loud All the other contestants were there living their dream you showed up just to let off some steam Yogesh So Vain You probably think the world revolves around you Yogesh so Vain I bet you thought you win more games Didn’t you didn’t you We were teammates several years ago when I thought you a friend We made a good group and we often won in the end But you felt like you were aggrieved Despite all we achieved You took offense when there was none And just like that our run was done Yogesh so vain You always think it’s about you don’t you Yogesh so vain It always comes down to you don’t it Well I h

 Well here we are a new week and that means time to reflect on what that Titan of Trivia Yogesh is like in real life. Sure the world has now gotten to bask in his tremendous glow for 3 impressive Jeopardy victories last week but his prowess behind the podium pales to his exploits in other endeavors.  Yogesh has been driven by not only a desire to learn since he was a young boy but also understands that with great knowledge comes great responsibility. As such he has not only accumulated this knowledge he freely shares it with the world. He does this through his internationally read blog "The Wronger Box" and his much-lauded podcast "Recreational Thinking". If you haven't listened yet you should download it and I promise you it will be unlike anything you've experienced before. The amount of knowledge Yogesh shares on a daily basis with those less learned than he is impressive but he doesn't just want to impart the knowledge he also wants to make sure that

  Welcome to The Wrongest Box, your home for everything Yogesh all the time.  Who is Yogesh? Why would somebody start a blog dedicated to just one man? Why should you care? And why is it called "The Wrongest Box"? Read on and you shall find out.  Yogesh is a simple man, a mere human by most accounts, but he is so much more than that. He is a man who has dedicated his life to becoming the greatest trivia player the world has ever known. He has dedicated decades to mastering the mundane, to amassing more knowledge than any mere mortal should possess. But he doesn't do it for himself. He does it for the world. He does it for you and for me and for all of the lesser minds out there so that we can bask in the glow of his brilliance.  How did this man get his start? What is his motivation? How does he remember all those facts? In the coming weeks, days and months, I hope to do a deep dive into all of these questions. But for now, let's just cover a few things.  Who is Yoges
