I believe it was the great American poet Emily Dickinson who said, "There is nothing more entertainingly competitive than a night of King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern." 

All seven teams attempted a Double Or Nothing in Round 1 with only a single team doing so unsuccessfully. Every team playing King Trivia tonight had at least two perfect Double Or Nothings. As Oscar Wilde once said, "Dude!"

Squid James and Where Is the Fire? continued to share the lead until the Guess Who round gave Where Is the Fire? a two-point advantage. But a perfect score in Round 7 gave Squid James the final lead and a first place finish.

Squid James also won the Drinking Round, identifying this week's backwards song as "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" by Whitney Houston.

Will Emily Dickinson sue me for misquoting her in public? Will Oscar Wilde retain the same lawyer? Find out next week on an all new episode of King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern!

Five intrepid teams braved the sub-80 degrees weather to take part in tonight's King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern in Sherman Oaks.

Round 1 saw Where Is The Fire? take the lead after a successful Double Or Nothing. A perfect score in the Picture Round put The Codependence Crew in first place and they never looked back. Less Awesome, More Sauced earned the maximum 20 points in the Find the Connection round to bump them up to second place.

As for the Drinking Round, I promise to never make it BTS-based again.

Will Paris come back from Brooklyn? Will Brooklyn come back from Queens? Find out next week on an all new episode of King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern!

It was a stupendous night of King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern and absolutely none of us was distracted by the baseball game.

The Simoahs finished in third place thanks to incredible infield play...I mean, strong scores in the final three rounds.

Oak-ily Doak-ily pitched extremely well. Sorry, Oak-ily Doak-ily was the first team to identify the famous person in the Guess Who? Round.

And Where Is the Fire? won on a walk-off home run. Or a perfectly-timed successful Double Or Nothing in Round 7.

Baseball!

Dang it. That should read "Trivia!"

Will the Dodgers advance to the World Series? Why isn't every team named after footwear? Find out next week on an all-new King Trivia at The Oaks Tavern.
