QUIZ RECAP

TRIVIA NIGHT RECAP: 9 Teams, 7 Rounds, and 1 Ill-Advised Drinking Intermission

Round One: British Invasion came out swinging with their pinkies up and monocles polished, conquering the General Knowledge round like the Queen’s Guard storming a pub quiz. The other teams were left wondering if “tea time” counted as a correct answer for every question.

Round Two: The B-Sharps hit their stride with a transatlantic beatdown in the category American Shows Based on British Programs. They correctly identified The Office, Shameless, and at least two sitcoms where everyone has dental work. Pip pip, tally ho, and the lead changed hands.

Round Three: Staying sharp, The B-Sharps reached escape velocity in a round dedicated to David Bowie, the Moon, or both. Ziggy played guitar, the Moon landing was not a hoax, and somehow someone guessed “Labyrinth” for a question about lunar eclipses. Doesn’t matter—they were still right.

Round Four: The B-Sharps kept their trivia drumbeat rolling by unmasking the mystery person as Travis Barker, perhaps the only drummer with more tattoos than facts named in this round. The Goombas thought it was Adam Levine. Respectable, but wrong.

Round Five: Still no crying in trivia, but plenty of groaning when The B-Sharps found the connection between a bunch of slang terms for ghost. While others were haunted by confusion, they summoned answers from the great beyond and clung to the lead.

Drinking Round: All logic went out the window as everyone tried to guess if the next card was higher or lower in a gloriously chaotic Hi/Lo card game. In the end, British Invasion proved their livers were as strong as their brains, chugging their way to liquid redemption and a free round of drinks.

Round Six: With pint glasses wobbling and confidence at dangerous levels, The B-Sharps booted up again for a round matching definitions to football (sorry, footy) terms. “Nutmeg” was not a spice, “kit” was not a baby raccoon, and the Edjuh Macayders were just happy they spelled something correctly.

Round Seven: Finally, in a round dedicated to Vodka Brands, The B-Sharps sealed their reign with enough boozy brand knowledge to make a Russian bartender blush. Dranks On Me briefly thought it was their time to shine, but mistook “Cîroc” for an energy drink.

In the end, The B-Sharps walked away victorious, British Invasion wobbled away slightly buzzed but proud, and King Gizzard and the Quizzard Lizards vowed to study harder… right after they finished whatever weird concept album they’re working on.

For nearly three years, it's been my pleasure to be your Quizmaster at Rescue Brewing. Unfortunately, tonight marked the end of King Trivia at Rescue, and it has been my honor to have spent that time with you. Thank you for allowing me to share that time with you, to get to know you, and to call so many of you "friend". I will miss you, and I hope to see you at another (as of yet unknown) venue soon.

...or until the producers of The Price is Right call with the hosting gig. Whichever comes first.

Love you all! ❤️

QUIZ RECAP

Trivia Recap: 7 Rounds, 1 Drinking Round, and Zero Tears (Allegedly)

Round One:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: General Knowledge. You know, the classic stuff—state capitals, dead presidents, and the occasional marsupial mating fact. There’s No Crying in Trivia took the early lead, flexing their big brains while the Vanilla Stuffed Churro Dipped in Chocolate team Googled whether churros were considered sentient.

Round Two:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: “Is it a Pope? A Cardinal? A Nun? A confused extra from Sister Act?” A round of holy identification, where contestants had to ID actors in clergy drag. Team Yeast Ingestion got confused and tried to answer in Latin. Meanwhile, There’s No Crying in Trivia held their lead like a nun gripping a ruler.

Round Three:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: Law & Order (dun-dun) plus SUV trivia, because nothing says “American justice” like grill guards and iced coffee cup holders. Ingenious Geniuses argued for 10 minutes about whether Olivia Benson drives a RAV4 or their hearts. Still, There’s No Crying in Trivia banged the gavel on another win.

Round Four:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: The mystery item was Krispy Kreme, but teams guessed everything from “Elon Musk’s secret bunker” to “doughnut-shaped dark matter.” Fab 5 tried to sniff out the answer, literally. There’s No Crying in Trivia again nailed it—because if there’s one thing they know, it’s diabetes disguised as breakfast.

Round Five:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: The Find-the-Connection round, and this one was all about poker hands. Dog Bite to the Face insisted that “three jacks and a churro” was a real hand. It was not. Meanwhile, There’s No Crying in Trivia calmly connected the dots like a psychic at a casino and kept the top spot.

Drinking Round:

Winner: Amigos-No Chicken

Subject: The wild card Skylab question, answered under the influence of hops and hubris. Amigos-No Chicken came alive like a disco ball at a NASA fundraiser and snagged the win. No one’s sure how they did it, but it involved yelling “ORBIT!” at the ceiling.

Round Six:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: -Ologies galore! From zoology to ufology, it was a buffet of disciplines ending in “someone got a PhD in this.” There’s No Crying in Trivia didn’t even flinch. Yeast Ingestion got lost somewhere around “gastrology” and asked if that was the study of fast food regrets.

Round Seven:

Leader: There’s no crying in trivia

Subject: Programming languages and NCAA football titles—a combination only a caffeine-addled quizmaster could love. Ingenious Geniuses knew their Java from their Javascript, but not their Jimbo Fishers from their Urban Meyers. There’s No Crying in Trivia brought it home yet again, proving that tears may not be allowed—but domination sure is.

Final Verdict:

There’s No Crying in Trivia crushed the night like a freshly glazed doughnut in a bear trap...and took the top prize! Congrats!

Come join us next week for the LAST King Trivia at Rescue Brewing... and come love me long time! 🤣
See you then!

QUIZ RECAP

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!
