Here’s your trivia night recap, packed with more drama than a soap opera and more twists than a pretzel factory:
Round One:
There’s no crying in trivia took the early lead, flexing their general knowledge muscles and leaving the other teams weeping into their answer sheets. Who knew knowing the capital of Burkina Faso would come in handy?
Round Two:
KABAM! exploded onto the scene, nailing the “ID the year of the event pictured” round. Their uncanny ability to spot the difference between 1974 and 1975 left the rest of the teams questioning their own birth years.
Round Three:
KABAM! kept the momentum going, proving they know more about the Cruel World Festival lineup than the festival organizers themselves. Apparently, they’ve been stalking the artists’ Spotify playlists for months. Dedication or obsession? You decide.
Round Four:
KABAM! again! This time, they guessed Gabriel Iglesias as the mystery person faster than you can say “Fluffy.” The other teams were still stuck on “Is that a young Tom Selleck?” while KABAM! was already celebrating.
Round Five:
KABAM! made it four in a row, connecting the dots between famous bays like they were Google Maps with a PhD. The only thing more impressive was their ability to pronounce “Chesapeake” correctly on the first try.
Drinking Round:
Dr Suds finally lived up to their name, dominating the insect stings challenge. Apparently, their secret is “hands-on research” at every summer picnic. The rest of the teams were just grateful it wasn’t a round about bee puns.
Round Six:
KABAM! matched 80s couples with the precision of a pop culture cupid. They knew their Mulder from their Scully and their Zack from their Kelly, leaving the other teams stuck in a love triangle with confusion and regret.
Round Seven:
KABAM! finished strong, schooling everyone on kids’ sports. They remembered the rules of kickball and how many players are on a tee-ball team-a feat that left the other teams wishing for a juice box and a nap.
Final Tally:
KABAM! took home the crown (and the eternal envy of their trivia rivals), while Dr Suds proved that when it comes to drinking rounds, they’re the real MVPs. There’s no crying in trivia and Cota/Davis-better luck next week, and maybe brush up on your insect sting trivia just in case.
See you next week!

Trivia Recap: The 7 Rounds of Mayhem (plus booze)
Round One: Things kicked off like any normal night of bar trivia—with misplaced confidence and one team insisting, “We definitely learned that in third grade.” There’s no crying in trivia took an early lead, proving they know their General Knowledge better than Google on caffeine. KABAM! tried to challenge them, but unfortunately thought the capital of Canada was “C”.
Round Two: The subject? Movies and shows featuring Richard Kind. Yes, that guy. The character actor king. Somehow, There’s no crying in trivia flexed a suspiciously encyclopedic knowledge of Kind’s IMDb page. Meanwhile, Misfits tried to answer “Spin City” for every question and Ingenious Geniuses thought he was a guest judge on Top Chef. He wasn’t.
Round Three: A wild thematic twist! Questions about the future and people named May. Again, There’s no crying in trivia rose like a Terminator programmed for trivia dominance. When asked to name a famous “May,” they confidently said “Brian May” before the host even finished the question. Half the teams just wrote “May the Force be with you” and hoped for partial credit.
Round Four: Time for the Mystery Person Round, and all clues pointed to Janet Jackson. There’s no crying in trivia guessed it before anyone else even knew it was a woman. KABAM! guessed “Jermaine Dupri” three times in a row, which was… not totally unreasonable but entirely incorrect.
Round Five: Pet food brands were the secret thread in this “Find the Connection” round. There’s no crying in trivia continued their reign of terror like a pack of ravenous trivia wolves sniffing out Meow Mix. Ingenious Geniuses guessed “types of dirt” as the common link and were promptly put on cat-litter cleanup duty.
Drinking Round: Like a halftime show with fewer wardrobe malfunctions and more bourbon, the SmarterPhone challenge (Gone With the Wind edition) arrived. And KABAM! finally lived up to their name, crushing it with a passionate monologue about Scarlett O’Hara that made the bartender tear up. Victory at last! (Sort of.)
Round Six: Back to business. This time, a matching round between Wonders of the World and their countries. There’s no crying in trivia matched Petra with Jordan faster than Indiana Jones himself. Meanwhile, the Misfits matched “Pizza” to “Italy” and demanded points for “emotional accuracy.”
Round Seven: Final round. The theme? Fortune 500 companies in California. If trivia had a stock market, There’s no crying in trivia would’ve been Apple, Google, and In-N-Out all rolled into one. The others? More like RadioShack (R.I.P.).
Final Score: There’s no crying in trivia won every round except the one where alcohol made the rules. Their domination was so thorough we’re considering drug-testing them for performance-enhancing encyclopedias.
Until next time, may your guesses be lucky, your team names punny, and your trivia host sober-ish.

Trivia Recap: 7 Rounds, 1 Buzzed Intermission, and a B-Sharps Dynasty
Round One: The night kicked off with a classic free-for-all of General Knowledge, where brain cells were stretched, coffee was sipped with purpose, and The B-Sharps and KABAM! burst out of the gate like two caffeinated Jeopardy contestants fighting over the buzzer. But ultimately, The B-Sharps hit the right note and took the early lead. Milk ‘n’ Cookies, meanwhile, may have been more milk than cookies.
Round Two: Fictional athletes were the name of the game, and The B-Sharps kept their trivia batting average at .1000. They nailed every imaginary jock from Happy Gilmore to Willie “Mays” Hayes, while There’s No Crying in Trivia lived up to their name by quietly sobbing into their beer over forgetting Air Bud.
Round Three: We swung wildly from Famous Winners to the Victorian Era—because who doesn’t think of Oscar winners and cholera outbreaks in the same breath? The B-Sharps continued their reign, proving once and for all they are both historically refined and disgustingly well-read.
Round Four: The mystery person? Katherine Heigl. The mystery to us? How The B-Sharps keep doing this. With a disturbingly fast ID of Heigl based on a photo of a blurred rom-com poster, they left the other teams saying, “27 guesses later and we’re still wrong.”
Round Five: A Find-the-Connection round all about Steve Carell, which The B-Sharps handled like Michael Scott organizing a Scranton branch trivia night. From Brick Tamland to Gru, they pieced the puzzle together and stayed on top. City Girls, meanwhile, kept asking if Steve Carell was in Gossip Girl.
Drinking Round Intermission: Just when the trivia tension needed to be sedated with alcohol, the Drinking Round hit—and it was about The Riddler’s costume. As in, the thing that guy wears while making life hard for Batman. There’s No Crying in Trivia swooped in with a costume critique worthy of a Gotham fashion blog and claimed victory, proving that they might not know fake athletes, but they do know how to accessorize with question marks while holding a beer.
Round Six: Back to business with a college town matching game, and surprise surprise—The B-Sharps were still running this thing like an Ivy League admissions officer. Kiss My Axe made a valiant attempt, but kept insisting Hogwarts was in Vermont.
Round Seven: The final round rocked out with top-billed Coachella artists, and The B-Sharps wrapped it up like a surprise Sunday set by Beyoncé herself. They knew their headliners, their festivals, and probably what color lanyard you need for backstage access. The Edjuh Macayders tried their best, but sadly confused Ice Spice for a new Starbucks drink.
Final Thought: Seven rounds, one drinking detour, and The B-Sharps never let go of the mic. The rest of the teams fought bravely, occasionally correctly, and always hilariously. Here’s to next game—may the trivia odds be ever in someone else’s favor.
See you next week!
