John Schultz recounted this story from behind the podium back in November:
I’m a little disappointed that it’s so hard to tell when my buzzer broke, but I think I heard the button hit the stage.#toc2015— John Schultz (@jwschultz)November 12, 2015
@andythequizzerI’d have to go back, but it bounced during Matt’s answer, probably right before the first Veteran’s Day question?— John Schultz (@jwschultz)November 12, 2015
@andythequizzerI had been trying to signal with a defective device for 2 or 3 clues, so they ran them back and replaced them.— John Schultz (@jwschultz)November 12, 2015
@andythequizzerYeah… I tried to be as obvious as I could about something being up, but I probably should’ve yelled WAIT— John Schultz (@jwschultz)November 12, 2015
@andythequizzerFortunately, ducking behind the podium is a pretty bright red flag— John Schultz (@jwschultz)November 12, 2015
