Happy five-weeks on Zoom, everybody!

Thank you to all who joined us for our Tuesday night trivia -- whether you've been with us all month or just came tonight for the first time, one thing is certain: we hope to see you next week!

It was also wonderful to meet Malcolm, our Marine Biologist + soon-to-be quizmaster and tech director extraordinaire, too. He joined King Trivia before quarantine, and is excited to have trivia back in his life.

We also found out that Chris's favorite Halloween movies are the classics -- Halloween and Scream and that I'm the scaredy-cat of the group so I prefer the psychological thrillers, like the recent Don't Breathe which I thought was actually Do Not Breathe, the gentler version.

Tonight, we started off our General Knowledge round with at least one subject from school represented -- math, geography, English, history, and Spanish!

Then, we had our animal-named audio round featuring Bands/Musicians from the Monkees to Gorillaz, from the Penguins to the Pussycat Dolls.

And then our oh-so-evergreen tree connection in between Rounds 2 and 4, which was my all-time favorite, Cy Young pitchers!

Tim Lincecum will always be my favorite Cy Young pitcher forever for all time, who was not depicted but at least our Randy Johnson was, so we still got a Giant in there amidst all the Dodger fans 🙂

Can you tell I'm excited for Baseball Night?

Well, I'm just as excited for Chris taking the helm for this week, with Parks and Rec night!

Andddd we almost had a three-way tie tonight -- as Zima: Warrior Princess, Taking Care of Quizness, and Chillable Hours went from a five-way tie after Round One (1 of 2, in fact!), then kept vying for the top spot, but Digressionary Funds' Brian roared ahead with his baseball knowledge. He's definitely looking forward to hitting it out of the (trivia) park some more for Baseball Night!
