Round One:
It was a three-way slugfest between There’s no crying in trivia, The B Sharps, and KABAM!—because nothing says “General Knowledge” like a fight for supremacy between a team with daddy issues, an acapella group named after a Simpsons episode, and something that sounds like an old-school Batman punch.
Round Two:
Same trio of juggernauts on top. The topic? Famous "knights". Sir Lancelot, Sir Mix-a-Lot, and Sir Not-Appearing-In-This-Quiz all made appearances. There’s no crying in trivia, The B Sharps, and KABAM! continued their jousting match while the rest of the teams clung to their dignity like a squirrel with a single acorn in a thunderstorm.
Round Three:
Now it’s a one-team show as There’s no crying in trivia takes the lead! The topic was movies and/or sushi. Naturally, the team that thought “The Godfather Roll” was a real thing managed to edge out everyone else. Turns out their motto is, “If it’s raw, it’s probably right.”
Round Four:
Mystery person round: The answer was Lea Michele, and apparently, There’s no crying in trivia knew it right away. We’re not saying they’ve got a Broadway mole, but… yeah, they totally have a Broadway mole.
Round Five:
“Find the Connection” about games, and There’s no crying in trivia was back at it like a gamer trying to beat Elden Ring without taking a single hit. The connection was so obvious in hindsight, but like all great ideas, it only seemed that way after There’s no crying in trivia shouted, “Duh!”
Drinking Round:
Here’s where things went off the rails. KABAM! snagged victory in a question about gambling—because nothing gets you in the mood to win like having a drink in one hand and pure, unfiltered confidence in the other. They celebrated like they’d just hit a jackpot in Vegas, minus the sudden urge to pawn a family heirloom.
Round Six:
There’s no crying in trivia returned to dominance like a hungover champion rising from the ashes of the Drinking Round. This time, they crushed a matching round about school newspapers, proving once again that the nerds truly shall inherit the Earth.
Round Seven:
And finally, our tariff-loving Presidents to the North and South of us were no match for There’s no crying in trivia. Clearly, nothing boosts trivia brainpower quite like an obsessive knowledge of political history… or just dumb luck. Either way, they took home the win, leaving everyone else with nothing but wounded pride and a vague sense that they should maybe read a book sometime. Congrats to There’s no crying in trivia for taking the win and the bragging rights!
See you all next week!

Thirteen teams entered the trivia arena, but only one could emerge victorious. With brains sharpened, drinks flowing, and enough bad puns to make a dad blush, the trivia war began.
Round One: The Con-Quiz-tadors took an early lead, proving their General Knowledge was better than everyone else’s… which is like being the smartest person at a seminar for cardboard boxes, but hey, points are points!
Round Two: The B Sharps hit the high note with their encyclopedic knowledge of actors who played U.S. Presidents. Who knew their secret weapon was binge-watching political dramas and cheesy biopics?
Round Three: Still rolling like a hot potato, The B Sharps showed their expertise on Irish food. Turns out all that corned beef, cabbage, and questionable Guinness consumption paid off.
Round Four: The mystery person round had everyone sweating bullets, but The B Sharps cracked the code by guessing Mrs. Puff. If you didn’t see it coming, then clearly you haven’t spent enough time under the sea.
Round Five: In a stunning twist, KABAM! exploded onto the leaderboard by dominating the Find the Connection round about math terms. Their strategy? Counting on their fingers and whispering, “Please be multiple choice.”
Drinking Round: The Trivia Divas stole the show in the drinking game playing the card game Hi/Lo, proving that while they might not have all the answers, they definitely have all the shots. Someone hand them a trophy or at least some Gatorade.
Round Six: Back from their victory lap, KABAM! matched breeds to animals like a kid with a sticker book and too much caffeine. Their knowledge of random critters was downright unsettling.
Round Seven: Finally, KABAM! claimed the night with their dream knowledge. Whether it’s Freud, lucid dreaming, or just knowing the meaning of that nightmare where you show up to trivia naked, they had it all covered.
So, after seven rounds, one drinking game, and approximately 1,452 jokes about team names, KABAM! stood triumphant. As for the rest of the teams, they went home with memories, hangovers, and the knowledge that Mrs. Puff is, in fact, a certified legend.
Have a great St. Patty's Day, everyone...and see you next week!

Trivia Night Recap: The Battle of Wits (and Whiskey!)
It was a night of brain-busting battles, questionable guesses, and a drinking round that would’ve made Socrates proud. Four mighty teams entered the intellectual arena: KABAM!, My Name is Jeff, British Invasion, and the always-thirsty Irish I Were Drunk. Let’s break down the madness:
Round One – General Knowledge
Things started off with a bang—literally. KABAM! took an early lead, but in a shocking twist, British Invasion and Irish I Were Drunk stormed the leaderboard too, forming an unholy trivia trinity. Clearly, knowing which U.S. state produces the most blueberries is a shared passion.
Round Two – TV Fictional Food Brands
My Name is Jeff devoured this one like a Krusty Burger on cheat day. The team had an encyclopedic knowledge of fake snacks, from Duff Beer to Cheesy Poofs. A true couch potato flex.
Round Three – Breakdancing and Rivers
A category combo no one saw coming—except for KABAM!, who moonwalked across the dance floor and waded through trivia like pros. Who knew knowing both the Windmill move and the length of the Mississippi could be so useful?
Round Four – Mystery Person: Scott Joplin
Turns out, ragtime knowledge is My Name is Jeff’s jam! While others hesitated, they confidently dropped “Scott Joplin” like it was hot. Somewhere, Joplin’s ghost nodded in approval.
Round Five – Find the Connection: Crazy
KABAM! went full lunatic mode, piecing together the wildest links between songs, movies, and pop culture moments featuring the word “crazy.” The others? Just plain confused.
Drinking Round – Umbrellas
A round designed for Irish I Were Drunk to shine? Think again! KABAM! weathered the storm with some truly intoxicating umbrella knowledge. Rihanna would be proud.
Round Six – School Fight Songs
This one had everyone reliving their high school trauma, but KABAM! emerged victorious once again, correctly matching fight songs to their schools like they’d been marching in the band their whole lives.
Round Seven – Jeopardy!
With KABAM! holding the lead, the final round was all about Alex Trebek, Ken Jennings, and the carousel of guest hosts & winners we try to forget. Turns out, KABAM! really knew their Jeopardy! history—securing the W and ultimate trivia glory!
Final Thoughts:
A legendary night filled with knowledge, nonsense, and probably one too many celebratory drinks. KABAM! may have taken home the trophy, but everyone left a little wiser—and a little tipsier. 🍻
See you all next week!
