Surprise. Beans. took home their very first victory! Surprise indeed, but a powerful double down in the 5th round during the Guess Who portion proved to be the game changer. Johnny Cash was our answer, and wouldn't you know it, they were sporting a Johnny Cash shirt. Fate.

A slightly absent squad for A Team Has No Name still held on, nearly taking it all, but settling for second place.

Finally, Angst Wranglers (no doubt, they are teachers), wrapped up 3rd, planning carefully throughout to secure a prize.

We had many new teams joining us tonight, Mr. Quizzard, Double Downers, Deadlight and Balboa Bars. Thank you all for joining us. Thank you of course to the Milk Lords for their adorable puppy, and for Doh! who was cranking away at answers throughout the night.

For our drinking round tonight, we handled my favorite category: Geography. Your job here was to tell me the capital city of the country that I mentioned; surprisingly it was CANADA, our friendly neighbors to the north, knocked out 4 TEAMS! OH, CANADA. Well, A Team Has No Name snagged it for the victory!

Another beautiful evening at PitFire Pizza roused both participants and onlookers in the heart of North Hollywood.

For the second week in a row, the talented veteran group of A Fish Called Wakanda took home the top prize.

Newcomers, Pretty Faces, Tiny Wieners jumped significantly to finish second. Welcome back!

Finally, The Milk Lords worked an efficient game, finishing within the top 3.

Special shoutouts to Hi with a small crew finished in fourth, and We Came Here for the Pizza, but Stayed for the Trivia embodies everything we hope to do! Come for a night of inconspicuous dinner, stay from some awesome free trivia! Thank you for joining us!

This week for our drinking round, we ask: What is the worst Mother's Day Gift? Somehow it was a bit STD heavy.

A Fish Called Wakanda: An Episiotomy (look it up)

No-Ho, Oh No No: A Limp Handshake

Suck it, Trebek - A Grandchild

Hi: Herpes

Markle Hamill: The Clap

Pretty Faces, Tiny Wieners: A miscarriage?

We Came Here for the Pizza, but Stayed for the Trivia: Birth Control Pills / Condoms

and your winner, The Milk Lords

You decide to take your mom to Burbon Steak Happy Hour. You pull up to valet and they tell you they won't valet your car. So you start to drive away, but then they say they will do it. You get to happy hour to be told you can't get food at the bar... And... there is no happy hour. So you decide to go to the bar in Nordstroms instead, where you get "okay" cocktails, and overcooked salmon. Then... you go home and watch tv... (true story). #firstworldproblems.

See you all next week!

Pitfire was roaring tonight as a packed house flooded the Noho pizzeria.

Vets Tommy Wiseau Serious hung on strong, with several well placed double downs for a long sought after victory.

Wasted Seamen held out for as long as they could, falling just shy, and into second.

The Milk Lords with an amazing double down in the very tough 6th round, kept their dreams alive to finish in the top 3. Interestingly, a +10 with no double in the 5th would have had them finish in first! Perhaps next time.

Solo squad of Fartin' Scorsese just missed a top 3 bid, but did a hell of a job in 4th.

Notable mentions A Team Has No Name, down several members struggled early, as did Hi. Check out their shameful photo.

Lots of great teams with great energy kept the oil burning late night. See you all next week!
