Well, just like that, 2 Wednesdays in October have come and gone! Holy moly! 2 weeks worth of King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills are down and only 2 more remain for the month! Let me tell you how this past Wednesday's game went...

Pickwick's got it's regular host, Danny, back after a week of absence. According to him, he tried to buy a Banksy painting last week at an auction, but immediately upon himh winning the auction, the painting was shredded. So, Danny spent last week crying and trying to recoup the $1.2 million he just spent on half a shredded Banksy painting. But he was able to get it back by short-selling some stock when the Dow went down this week, so he was back to host some more King Trivia, and teams seemed happy to see him back.

For the Drinking Round, each team had to send two members up to try and carry a baseball between two cardboard cylinders, only holding it between their chests, and without dropping the ball, they had to race around the bar. Whichever team completed this the fastest without dropping the ball would win the round of shots for their team. With a blazingly fast time of 10.88 seconds, Kian's Birthday seized the shots! Way to go guys!

It was a pretty high scoring affair Wednesday night as the top 3 teams scored above 80 points! In third place, scoring 82 points, was team Hanky Panky! They were leading the game by one point after round number 6, but only got 8 right on the final round as the two closest teams behind them successfully doubled down in the final round. But that's ok, because Hanky Panky won themselves a $10 gift certificate!

One of the two teams that successfully doubled down in the final round was According to BoxOfficeMojo.com. The Mighty Mighty Puffins were in cognito, but they still scored 85 points which secured them 2nd place and a $20 gift certificate! Awesome job!

And coming in 1st place, also doubling down on the final round successfully, was team Aussie Beanz! They led for every round of the game until Round number 6 when they fell behind by 1 point against Hanky Panky, but they were about to successfully double down in round 7 to ultimately score a whopping 93 points and the win! They took home a $30 gift certificate! Way to go!

And that wraps it up for this week at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills for King Trivia! See you next Wednesday for more!
