The show continued its strong performance in terms of buzz. According to GoodData Corporation's FUNdex, "You Quiz" ranked third in overall TV non-drama buzz for the second week of October, proving viewers' intense interest.

In a special episode themed around "Thirty Autumns," guests included Republic of Korea's first music director Kang Seung-won, Lee Ki-chan who transformed into a pharmacy specialist singer, Asian Games tech ball inaugural champion Lee Jun-seok, and the couple Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra. They engaged in diverse conversations with Yoo Jae-suk.

The story of the lovebirds Choi Soo-jong and Ha Hee-ra, who are celebrating their 33rd wedding anniversary, was shared. Following Ha Hee-ra's direct clarification of malicious rumors surrounding Choi Soo-jong, a "devoted husband" even acknowledged by AI, Choi Soo-jong revealed, "If it had not been for Ms. Ha Hee-ra's four miscarriages, I might have been similar to other husbands." He confessed that through the miscarriages, he realized how precious children are and what it means to be born as a human being. The story of Choi Soo-jong, who lost his mother before the "You Quiz" recording, was also revealed. Choi Soo-jong ultimately shed tears over his longing for his mother, and Ha Hee-ra's silent embrace of her husband after the recording left a heavy, lingering impression.

The story of Lee Ki-chan, who attempted busking at pharmacies with his hit song "Cold" from four years ago, also drew attention. He stated, "There are fewer stages where I can sing, so I started busking because I thought it would be difficult to let the public know about me if I did not take action myself." Lee Ki-chan, who was called the "Little Prince" in the 2000s, attracted interest by sharing his recent status as a pharmacy specialist singer, even receiving offers from pharmaceutical companies.

Music director Kang Seung-won, who has produced numerous hit songs from national commercial jingles to "Around Thirty," left a deep impression by revealing his unique connection with the late Kim Gwang-seok and the story behind the creation of "Around Thirty." In particular, regarding the late Kim Gwang-seok, whose 30th anniversary of death was marked this year, he expressed affectionate longing, saying, "He was a friend who did not differ between what he said and what he thought."

Asian Games tech ball inaugural champion Lee Jun-seok shared his journey of fulfilling his earnest dream of wearing the national team badge and achieving a golden miracle, conveying deep resonance. He revealed his desperate challenge toward the gold medal, from giving up his dream of becoming a soccer player to challenging tech ball, to the difficulty of not finding a training venue despite securing a dedicated table worth 2 million won, to devoting himself to training after giving up a regular position at a large corporation. In particular, he conveyed the reality of an unpopular sport where one might have to find other work for a livelihood if a professional team is not established even after winning a gold medal. In response, Yoo Jae-suk sent his support, saying, "It would be good if conditions were created that allow athletes to focus solely on their sports."

Meanwhile, the next episode will feature cooking researcher Shim Young-soon, who has returned after being cured of pancreatic cancer, popular music critic Im Jin-mo, actor Kang So-ra who is active as a martial arts expert, and Lee Hyun-joong, a key figure in the 2026 Asian Games men's basketball championship and who is challenging the NBA for the first time by a Korean in 21 years.
