I’m going to music quizzo tonight and need to come in strong with a Cowboy Carter-themed quizzo name, but I’m coming up empty. Any ideas?

Hey Gang
Host a trivia night and need a way to workshop some rounds. Figured this was a good spot.
1) In 1973, she famously won the "Battle of the Sexes" tennis match against Bobby Riggs? 2) What singer made his public debut in 1964 alongside Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon? 3) What is the name of the fictional island featured in the works of J. M. Barrie? 4) In August 2020, on his 40th birthday, this actor tweeted, "Hey guys, wanna feel old? I'm 40. You're welcome." The tweet became the 9th most-liked of all time. Who sent it? 5) in 2002, President Bush signed into law this controversial standards-based education reform bill?
Joe LunchMoney Quizzo Philadelphia

A bar in my town tomorrow is doing Gilmore Girls quizzo and I’m struggling for a team name…any suggestions?!?!

Hey guys, I'm making a Halloween quizzo for a big camping event and have one question that I'm having trouble fact checking, maybe you can help me
The question is : "What monster has the most movies of all time?"
And it seems like the answer is either Vampire or Zombie (Dracula if we count individual named character), but I can't find a good total amount. I've found lots of "Best ## of Zombie movies!" and other clickbait, and Wikipedia seems to have extensive lists of every Vampire and Zombie movie if I want to count them one by one (we're talking thousands here, I don't want to do that) but is there just a total number somewhere?
Thanks for your help!

Hi there! I hope this isn't against the spirit of this community, as I'm just a lurker, but as a Bones fan I am super excited to finally get the green light to host a trivia night all about the show. As a bit of background, I live in Philly and normally host themed trivia events at a venue called World Cafe Live, and, I only write and host events for shows or topics I'm personally invested in-- like Bones. My dad got me into the show years ago when he told me the main characters named their daughter Christine, haha (that's my name). After starting from the beginning sometime around season 6 and catching up, I was hooked and stayed with it.
All that's to say, if you're interested in signing up it will be a very nerdy, very Bones-tastic event for a max of 2 hours unless we magically end up selling this one out. Bones is not as popular as it should be, in my opinion, and I'm hoping for a decent turnout with a friendly but competitive vibe!

Appreciate your time!

Anyone have any punny ideas????

I met my first wife when I was 19 years old. We were both sophomores in college. As I was leaving Medieval History and walking across campus to my next class, this beautiful, angelic girl with brunette hair a few strides ahead of me turns around and looks as if she wants to talk to me. Being a dorky, shy kid, this wasn't an everyday occurence. I had definitely noticed her in class before. She asked me if I was in Medieval History, and if I had made any progress on a paper due the following week. I mumbled yes to the first question, and I somehow managed to piece together a couple sentences about the paper. We walked and conversed for about 10 minutes before going our separate ways. Like an idiot, I didn't ask for her name or number.
Fortunately, a few weeks later, after 3 or 4 similar conversations after class, I finally worked up the nerve to ask her out. She quipped that she was starting to wonder if she'd have to make the first move. Our first date was a study date at the library--something that became routine for us the next 3 years. After the first study date, we agreed to watch our college football team play against a heated rival, the #1 ranked school in the nation at that time, on TV the next day (it was an away game). We won. As a huge sports fan, I had never enjoyed watching a game more in my life, but it was more because of who I watched it with. It was still relatively early and I didn't want the evening to end, so I suggested we check out a movie at the theater downtown. She wanted to see some new movie called Home Alone. We laughed endlessly. Walking back to campus after the movie, we kissed. It was a perfect day.
After graduation, we both remained in the town we attended college and started our careers. At 26, we got married. We were a great match. I had never met somone so beautiful, smart, sweet, and compassionate. She made me a better student and a better person. I was a very shy and introverted kid, and she the extrovert really brought me out of my shell. She eventually got a tremendous job offer which would’ve been insane to turn down, and 3 years into our marriage we moved to a major metropolitan city near her hometown. 3 years after that, we had our son, and a few years after that, our daughter. My wife was such a great mother. Between a career she was really passionate about and being a mother, she was often stretched thin, but we all found a way to make it work.
Ten years ago yesterday, my wife and my daughter were tragically killed in a car accident. For the next 2-3 years, I was in a horrible state of depression and angry at the world. If not for my son, I think I would've contemplated suicide. I was going through the motions at work, to the point where my clients started to take notice. My employer, while pretty understanding initially of the trauma I went through, essentially told me a year later that I was performing poorly and if it were anybody else, I would be fired. Somehow I managed to pick it up (at one point I was seeing a grief counselor 3 times a week). After about 3 years, I knew things would never be the same, but there were a few breaks in clouds, so to speak.
Meanwhile, one of my wife's best friends, a woman we knew in college and relocated to our city not long after we moved there, had invited me to join her and her friends to play Quizzo at a local bar. I was pretty much a recluse for 3 years, focusing on raising my son and my work, and my wife's friend just wanted to see me have fun again. At first I declined, but she refused to take no for an answer.
On this night, I met about 4-5 friends of hers, including a work friend, and immediately the work friend and I hit it off. I never thought I'd meet anybody who was a bigger sports nut than me, but her sports fandom is intense. She does a lot of home brewing. She works in a field I really admire. And she’s really gorgeous. I liked her immediately. It was almost as if I suddenly wanted to live again. I started becoming a regular for these Quizzo outings, and as the weeks passed, she and I continued to bond over sports, beer, and movies, among other things. I had thought about whether we should start dating, but I didn't know if I was ready.
She took the decision out of hands. A few months after we initially met, she had an extra ticket for an NBA game and asked if I wanted to join her. Of course, I accepted. After a thrilling victory by our hometown team, she invited me to do karaoke with some friends of hers downtown. For some reason, I did it. I never liked karaoke. But I had enough liquid courage on this evening to belt out a few songs. It was the most fun night I had in years. All the while, I couldn’t help but think what my first wife would think about me doing karaoke. She’d never believe it.
Our friendship continued to grow, if for unfortunate reasons. Her father passed away after a lengthy battle with cancer. I had met him once. One evening we cried for a couple hours not only discussing her father’s death, but both of my losses. Other than my therapist, she was the only person I really opened up to and let my emotions take over.
We really didn’t go on dates per de. We attended a lot of sporting events together. We continued doing some Quizzo and karaoke. As attracted as we were to each other, we both undergone traumas and we agreed that we shouldn’t rush into things. As much as we enjoyed each other’s friendship though, we both caught feelings and we couldn’t just shut that shit off. She had completely rejuvenated my life.
After a few months “as a couple”, I introduced her to my son. My son is a huge NHL fan and they immediately bonded over that. The 3 of us went to an NHL game early in our relationship, and the way they interacted, I knew this was something special. She and my son talked for hours about Hockey, so much so that I might as well not have been there.
About a year later, we got married. My now-wife and son have had a great relationship the last 5 years. My son gave her an amazing gift on her last birthday that completely moved those of us who witnessed it to tears (check my prior posting history for details of this particular evening).
As I mentioned earlier, yesterday was 10 years to the day my first wife and daughter were killed. As time has passed, I’ve been coping a lot better and haven’t been nearly as depressed. But to this day 3 dates are still rough: the accident, my first wife’s birthday, and my daughter’s birthday. My wife sensed yesterday that I wasn’t well at all, and she knew why. I’ve been thinking non-stop lately how it’s now been 10 years. We both took personal days from work and talked about accident, something we’ve done many times before but not recently. I cried for the first time in quite a while about it. My current wife is my rock. I don’t know if a lot of women would be insecure in her position with a husband who’s still in some ways grieving for a wife. But she is one of the kindest and most patient people i've ever met. And you need those. She is not at all jealous or threatened of my previous life. In a lot of ways she is my hero. And she takes an active role in my son’s life and is the greatest step-mother I’ve ever known.
I don’t why I posted this; this seems all over the place. Maybe just to say that as much as life dealt me such a rough hand, I am thankful for the 19 years I spent with Kate and the 7 years (and counting) I spent with Jenna. They’ve both added so much value to my life in similar but also very unique in their own individual ways. If everyone had a spouse like Kate or Jenna, this world would be a much better place.

Hello everyone! For the very last time on this subreddit, I'm going to be talking about Joyride - and there basic death that happened this past week. They announced late on the 27th after Primetime finished up that they were removing cash pots from their live shows formats (including the $16 games partners could host). This past week, we saw all seven of their remaining hosts host one last time, one for each day of the week. It's also basically confirmed that some of the producers, if not all of them are done with Joyride as well. At the moment, the only money left to be made on the app is by winning contests, or by getting gifted in your games if you are a streamer or partner.
At the moment, I have received my final payouts for my winnings, as well as the earnings I made over the last 3 months. I have left the Joyride Fan Squad on Facebook and deleted the app now that the last bit of money I got is safe in my Paypal. This post is basically going to be my way of giving myself closure and also why I believe Joyride went down the way that they did.
Honestly, the warning signs that Joyride was in danger (again) started in early August, right after I became a streamer. When I became a streamer, I signed an agreement and it said in there that you earned 6 cents for each key spent on gifts in your games (and for all keys used in your games if you were a partner). It was probably a week or so later that I saw that it had been decreased to 4 cents a key without warning. This was about a week or two prior to Joyride's first major cutback the week of August 19, when two of the daytime games and two of the primetime games had been cut - with two $50 games replacing the $250 games and two shows alternating during the week in primetime. Joyride told everyone in the group that it was a shiny new schedule that left more room for the community to host games. Most people however knew better and we all knew what they were sugar-coating - $1000 had been sliced out of the daily line-up. They kept reassuring that they weren't going anywhere. At the time, I tried to hold some hope.
Similar to August, September also had more warning signs come in. The first one being that they removed one of the $10 bonus options. Partners had two versions of these. One of them being an upgrade if 20 gifts were sent, and the other being if 100 people joined a bonus round. The 20 gift one was one that was reached often - and then one day I was told that it was disabled. Someone had said that JR told them that it was an "experiment" that they found was not conductive for future use. That explanation made zero sense though because it encouraged people to spend keys. To me, it seemed clear they got rid of an easy way for money to be won and they kept the MUCH harder goal to achieve. But then came the MAJOR schedule change that resulted in the entire afternoon line-up being canned in favor of $50 games, and a couple of primetime games being only $50, and only half the primetime line-up being hosted by someone that wasn't a partner. The Sunday line-up also reduced the highest prize to $1,000. And again, Joyride tried to spin this as something positive that they were excited for. And a lot of people spoke out about it. Eventually Joyride disabled commenting on the post.
Leading into what would be the last month of cash shows, there were more warning signs. $16 TopPops and 4 key games were disabled - which was a GOLD MINE for both partners and streamers because of the easy way to win keys and the easy way to make earnings as a partner. Keys were reduced to just 3 cents in value as well. And the timer was purposely changed to just 30 seconds, which means you had a very high chance of missing money games and key games.
The auditions also slowly crept their way into the app over the last few months, and they essentially took over the key tournaments. JR had announced that partners had to maintain 50 hearts a week, or they would lose their partnership. Same with streamers. This definitely pissed people off, and to me, it seemed to me they had an ulterior motive in making that, because it's clear they wanted to get rid of partners, because to me, they couldn't afford to have so many.
A couple weeks later was when we got the news about the cash shows ending, and this past week being the last week of live shows.
With the timeline put in place now, I'm now going to get into why I think Joyride went under. For starters, they were catering WAY too much to the iOS audience. A LOT of updates this year came very late to Android users or not at all. Drawzzle was never made available on Android. That's a lot of money they poured into a game that only one half of players could make. The same can be said for the Game-On arcade mode they introduced about a couple months before they went under. During the last couple weeks Joyride was basically alive, Android users had a two hour wait between Film Frenzy in the afternoon and game following Drawzzle in the evening. So that was $300 we usually missed out on ($550 on Sundays) . The key tournaments were only made available to Android users for about 3 weeks, and then they got rid of the tournaments in favor of the auditions (and clearly because they couldn't afford to payout $400 each week anymore, since no surprise, this happened after the major September schedule change). Hell, even just being able to host was a bit of a laggy thing for Android. iOS users for example were able to pick the genres of their MM LONG before Android users could. I hated choosing MM for my key game and end up with something I'm not good with like musicals. Once I was able to do that, I started hosting more.
The second reason I believe JR died, and one that I think a lot of people can agree on, is that they basically killed their key economy. Being able to host all day and night meant people could rack up a lot of keys and use them in the primetime games and still have a lot leftover. Or, they could use them and not be too worried about how many they went through because they could easily replenish what they had. I know a lot of people that had 100s of keys on hand. It was clear people weren't buying keys that much anymore and that essentially lead to them losing money. Keep in mind, Joyride at one point was hosting games at night that were only for 3 keys or 4 keys, and we thought then that Joyride was dying. However, they somehow managed to replenish the money games to where at least everything was $250 again. This time however, the app just continued on a downward spiral.
Even if you weren't paying attention btw to all of the changes that were going on, you could tell that the producers and writers were not putting in the same effort into their games as they were months prior. A lot of the music manias for example would constantly shove the same artists down our throat like Jon Bellion, Pia Mia, and some artist named Fyfe. The same songs would get thrown into the mix multiple times in the same week to the point where a song that used to be a patty whack, ended up being a home run. Some films repeated as well in Film Frenzy and sometime entire Trivia Crush or Quizzos would be recycled. In this last month, the majority of the MMs have been generic games related to singers and bands from a specific state. It got very boring pretty quick. It was clear looking back that the planning had gotten lazy and music mania especially became a shell of its former self.
I have a lot of good memories with Joyride. They got me through a very hard year personally and in a way, it is fitting that they are going away right as I'm finally on my way to getting a light at the end of the tunnel. But I also know that there was a lot of frustrations these last several months with the app, and I know that at this point, there is no more incentive to play on JR, as the auditions aren't even available on Android still or the contests. I don't have time to wait and I don't feel the need to look at the app everyday and see nothing but pointless key games that lead to nothing but auditions that are basically a popularity contest. I know that with them dying, it's time to just move on to better things and this chapter of theirs is not one I plan on being a part of.
Goodbye Joyride. Thanks for the memories, and maybe if you guys had not silenced people from giving you accurate criticism, you wouldn't be in the same boat as Out of Tune, Cash Show and Words With Friends.

We are headed to the local pub quizzo tonight and want to stick with GoT themed team names. Last week we were: “where are my fucking elephants”.
Any recommendations??

I’m probably beating a dead horse at this point (and I apologize), but this is probably my final post about Joyride since I’m 100% sure this is nearing the end. Call it the triviapocalypse if you will. This is pretty long but it is my final post about Joyride so might as well make it count.
The first time I made a critical post about Joyride as well as other members of the community, something happened. The changes were not always for the better but something in the right direction for sure. And then they made more dumb changes, prompting the community to, again, complain about the game. Unfortunately this time, Joyride’s response has been to make things even WORSE.
Joyride’s original game structure has just been so fucked up beyond all recognition that it’s unreal. Just take a look.
Previous Schedule:

• Afternoon: 6 $250 Games
• Evening: 3 $500 Games, 3 $250 Games

Total Spent a Day: $3,750
Current Schedule:

• Afternoon: 6 $250 Games
• Evening: 3 $250 Games, 3 “Key Games”

Total Spent a Day: $2,250
Joyride has cut pots in favor of games that award KEYS. At NIGHT. With NO $500 SELECTS. There is simply no logic to this other than greed or them trying to save face from just outright shutting down. Not to mention the ENORMOUS disparity with the Key games and the $250 Selects with the difficulty.
With the exception of Sold, a game you could literally win or come close to if you just don’t move the entire game, Joyride’s key games are absolutely much harder, tougher, and more prone to whittle down an entire crowd than their actual Selects. You know, the ones you PAY for.
It has been mentioned on this sub before, but it has carried on throughout this entire week and I just can’t not talk about it in this post.
Here is a point of view of how many players each Joyride game got, and how many winners they ended up having, as per their Twitter stream for the past two days.
Wednesday Night:

• Super Fan: (Key Game) 868 Players on Q1, 7 Winners (0.08% of the Players Won)
• Sold: ($250 Select) 330 Players on Q1, 165 Winners (50% of the Players Won, $1.52 per Winner)
• Trivia Crush: (Key Game) 1182 Players on Q1, 58 Winners (4% of the Players Won)
• Film Frenzy: ($250 Select) 376 Players on Q1, 103 Winners (27% of the Players Won, $2.42 per Winner)
• Quizzo: (Key Game) 724 Players on Q1, 146 Winners (20% of the Players Won)
• Top Pop: ($250 Select) 245 Players on Q1, 103 Winners (42% of the Players Won, $2.42 per Winner)
• Music Mania: (Key Game) 1,100 Players on Q1, 207 Winners (18% of the Players Won)

Thursday Night:

• Super Fan: ($250 Select) 359 Players on Q1 ,54 Winners (15% of the Players Won, $3.55 per Winner)
• Sold: (Key Game) 1406 Players on Q1, 302 Winners (21% of the Players Won)
• Trivia Crush: ($250 Select) 330 Players on Q1, 10 Winners (3% of the Players Won, $21.34 per Winner)
• Film Frenzy: (Key Game) 1120 Players on Q1, 143 Winners (13% of the Players Won)
• Quizzo: ($250 Select) 470 Players on Q1, 154 Winners (33% of the Players Won, $1.62 per Winner)
• Top Pop: (Key Game) 1,227 Players on Q1, 291 Winners (24% of the Players Won)
• Music Mania: ($250 Select) 229 Players on Q1, 79 Winners (35% of the Players Won, $3.52 per Winner)
• Swipe: (Key Game) 883 Players on Q1, 174 Winners (19% of the Players Won)

Does no one see how fucking dirty this is? When Joyride puts keys at risk, the game is suddenly very hard with a few winners, but when it is YOU, the player, who puts keys at risk, the game is a joke and you have a very good chance of winning. Imagine winning that Wednesday Super Fan (would have been $35.71 per winner), Trivia Crush ($4.31), Quizzo ($1.71), or Music Mania ($1.21), and having the achievement of outlasting more than a thousand players... but you only won KEYS to play games that would have had a significantly worse payout just because they’re easier. With the exception of the Trivia Crush and Super Fan on Thursday, these games have just been bad.
Had those affected key pot games been free $250 games, you would have still won more than whatever was paid out in the Select games. Instead, nope! It’s no longer playing for a Select game for a chance of a bigger pay. Joyride now operates on the philosophy of: Buy keys or fuck off. And it’s honestly just sad at this point.
What makes this even more frustrating is that there are things Joyride can literally do to fix it ASAP and maintain the good graces of their loyal subscribers. Yet they refuse to do it.
Here are some suggestions which they won’t listen to since they block people on Twitter now for voicing out against them!

1. KILL AFTERNOON OR REVAMP THE SCHEDULE.

Literally every app at this point has been dead on the afternoon. You can either play Hangtime for the cold hard cents or do luck-based roulettes on Ripkord In or Out. The only good chances you have at actual trivia in the afternoon is if HQ or Ripkord Fast Facts is on (which is only twice a week for both games).
Joyride had the PERFECT opportunity to monopolize afternoon and they fucked it up two ways for far too long. Either they were Music Manias that very few people could give any less of a shit about or “Free” games that are dishonestly promoted as such that contain Bonus Rounds.
The afternoon Joyride games went from being a wonderful treat to just being an actual budgetary and offensive problem now since the money going there is LEAVING the night games.
Thus, instead of forcing key pot games into your night lineup, why not just, I don’t know, BOOST THE KEY QUESTIONS PER GAME AND KILL AFTERNOON GAMES???
If Joyride kills their Afternoon games, that’s instantly $1,500 they can re-allocate at night. Not only can they afford to have $500 Selects, they can also have $250 games for their free games. Key Pot games just seem like an enormous waste of resources (since I assume they have to pay for the host + setup) and time.
My suggestion is that if Joyride really wants to make their key pot games work, do it in the Afternoon and leave the money at night.
2. TIER THE QUESTIONS RIGHT.
I mentioned the percentages of the people that actually win on Key pot games and Select games. This is actually a recurring pattern throughout this entire week. By having the Key pot games be hard, Joyride is pretty much sending out a horrible message - “Yes, we can have a good payout for sure. But are we going to put it on the Selects our subscribers pay for? Nope! Let’s put it on the key pot games and make sure very few people win keys! Maybe more will subscribe out of frustration! :D”.
Earth to Joyride. The REASON people bought into your subscription in the first place was all the perks. Now you might as well not call it a sub and just another generic Key pack.
I’m not saying Selects always have to be ridiculously hard just for the sake of a good payout. Obviously not everyone that plays is a skilled trivia player or lucky. But what I’m saying is actually TRY to leave your winners happy and not discontent.
3. CUT DOWN ON HOSTS.
Joyride has WAAAAAY too many hosts.
We have the following:

• Juliano
• Ruba
• Kim
• Cherdleys
• Brooke
• Cindy
• Igor
• Suzanne
• Andrew (on occasion)

That is NINE hosts with EIGHT games, and yet instead of evenly spreading the hosts, they make one person do all the afternoon games and then split the night lineup between 2 or 3 hosts.
If we’re losing hosts, I suggest Juliano and Igor. Juliano is a fucking idiot that can’t even read Music Mania song titles and artists correctly and his Twitter has actual awful shit on it while Igor is diet Juliano and equally as annoying while also being unprofessional as hell - his Sunday performance when he was supposed to host Quizzo but ended up being late and panted “IM COMING IM COMING IM COMING” repeatedly when he got in the game as well as interrupting Kim’s Q12 on the Jamiroquai Music Mania (and INDIRECTLY FUCKING THE Q12 TIMER) are just simply unacceptable for Joyride’s big Sunday games.
Another problem I also have with the sheer number of hosts is that there is no unique identity to Joyride because of it. You open up HQ Trivia and you can expect Scott or Matt (rip Shazza) to be there. They both have their unique quirks that complement the game (Scott is self explanatory and Matt has his whole schtick with the singing). You open up Confetti and know what to expect from JD (a whole lot of stall before Q1 but he’s ok). You even open up Ripkord and know what to expect from Dietz.
Joyride’s form of a “game identity” is to make all the hosts be too meta and it makes zero sense because you can’t even see what they're talking about. All the talking about HAHAHA LOOK WHAT PATTY DID LOOK WHAT PEMBERTON DID LOOK WHAT BRYAN DID is all just so useless because you can’t even SEE them. They’re not involved in the game at ALL, they’re the people behind the scenes but you can’t even know how to appropriately react to them because you can’t even see them or know how they are in actuality so the hosts talking about them just feels so fucking random and nonsensical. In addition, this also makes discerning each host from the other pretty hard in terms of ability and experience.
Now I’m not advocating for people to lose their jobs actively, this is strictly speaking on a game and budgetary perspective for the game, and I truly wish no harm or hurt to these hosts on a personal level. But considering how Joyride’s actual game is now suffering due to the sheer number of games and hosts (who I assume eat up part of their budget), it’s time to do some cuts.
Which leads me to my final suggestion...
4. CUT DOWN ON GAME SHOWS
Since Joyride at the moment is struggling with maintaining money pots for their games, why don’t they just cut some actual shows? Namely Top Pop and Swipe.
Top Pop is just an infuriating game. It’s a game that can never really give a big payout unless nobody bothers to play or just a waste of time. I get the “appeal” of trying to do a Majority Rules type game, but the way Top Pop does it is just stressful.
Having the options be speed-based like Trivia Crush just hurts the game because it requires no cognitive effort at all. Instead of being able to critically think for say, 4 seconds about what a majority would go, you are pressured to tap as fast as you can because of the game’s nature. Not to mention how this hurts the hosting as well. You are expected to tap before the host can even read out the options outright and it just makes no sense to me.
Top Pop is just a waste of resources, a waste of time, and a waste of a slot. Now take almost everything that is wrong with Top Pop, stretch it out to 30 minutes, and you have Swipe, a dating game that is useless in the end because the profiles are all fucking stock photos and not real people.
Joyride can also cut Sold if it really comes to it. While I like the aspect of Sold realistically being something you can also search for, far too often they take a stupidly vague listing or lie about the price (by using a listing with a generic image, of course you're bound to get loads of similar results) or put the “Just Right” amount in the slider in a very weird place that requires absolute precision sliding.
It's just frustrating especially since you're expected to pretty much be on the dot for around 5 questions at worst AND it usually doesn't pay out well either.
In Conclusion:
So in the end, what am I saying with this rant and post? What I’m essentially saying with this is that Joyride needs to return to their roots because they are clearly floundering and struggling right now with regards to their game.
What they have done is just demotivating, game-breaking, and honestly just a big fuck you to everyone who supported them from Day One.
I’d honestly like to think they do some changes… but at this point I really doubt it. It’s just so far gone now. Just going to drain the last of my keys, cash out, and then never come back.
Goodbye Joyride.

Hey Philly! So we thought it would be fun to post some weekly Philadelphia trivia here for everyone to pass the time with but also to subliminally get some free advertising for our little Quizzo company but now I’m being way too honest about our motives so let’s just get to the Quiz, eh!?
What Northeast Philadelphia school is named in honor of Taylor Swift’s great-great-grandfather on her father's side?
Some may know that “Manayunk” comes from the Lenape word translating to “place where we drink”, but for when one brew just isn’t quite enough, what local body of water’s name means “place where we drink twice”?
In the four major sports (Sorry Union, but not like it would have mattered anyway...), which franchise has won the most professional championships in Philadelphia?
Just in case your struggling thus far, I’ll give you a 50-50 shot at this one: Who is the Roosevelt Boulevard named after?
First opened on July 1st, 1926 and for the 3 years following, having the distinction of being the largest of it’s kind in the world, what is the first local landmark seen in the opening credits of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?
We’ll stop by sometime later this week with the answers. We’d like to say when, but we don’t want to put that kinda pressure on ourselves, ya know? Until then, good luck!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot the Quizzo! We’ll keep the plugs short this week, because we don’t want you to hate us. We are kicking off our first ever game in South Philly tonight, with an 8pm start time at the Mifflin Tavern. And next Monday, we’ll be hosting “The Office” Quizzo at 6pm at Golf and Social on Delaware Ave.
Other than that, you can find us all throughout the week at Urban Village Brewery, Currans Bensalem, London Grill, The Union Tap, Westys, and the King’s Highway Tavern!
Have a great week, hope to see/meet you all at some point, and hope you enjoy the trivia.
-LunchMoney Quizzo

Going to a Bachelor quizzo in a week. Give me your best team name suggestions!

Hello, my name is Ron Swanson. In general I try never to speak with people, but I have been playing this LunchMoney Quizzo thing and it’s damn good. You should try it.
On Wednesday night we'll be hosting Parks and Rec Quizzo in Center City Philadelphia
The game is at the Blue Duck on Broad street and begins at 7. We'll have four rounds of P&R trivia. After 4 rounds, the top 4 teams head to the playoffs to compete for $90 in gift cards ($50 to 1st place) and our Championship trophy.
You should know my recommendation is essentially a guarantee. Reserve seats. NOW.

Hey /running! It's Friiiiidaaaaaay! This week's featured athlete is one of my personal favorites. From his username to his insightful commentary, we've sure got a good one to learn about. So sit back, take a few and learn about our newest addition to the Friday Spotlight family. Ladies and gentleman... GreatDeku!
Let's do this...

The Runner:

First Name?

Andrew, Drew, or Andy

Age?

26

Where are you from?

Philadelphia, PA

Occupation?

Assistant Actuary

Running Q&A's:

What are your PR’s?

5K: 22:28
4-Mile: 28:58
10K: 47:53
Half: 1:44:24 (not an official race – I can totally beat this)

What is your distance PR?

14.5 Miles

What’s your highest recorded weekly mileage?

A nice even 40 miles, last week

What’s your comfy pace?

Somewhere around 8:10-8:20 per mile. I define comfy as the pace where I don’t have to constantly worry about where to dispose of snot rockets (yumm).

How long have you been running?

A hair over two years really. I only became serious about it about 10 months ago.

Tell us why you began running?

Initially, it was weight loss and to see if I could. Back in my grade school days, I did track and field, but I focused solely on shot-put (I feel like Uncle Rico when I mention this, but yours truly held a PA state record for a couple years before said record got obliterated). At that time, 1 mile seemed super far to me, so when I saw people running 5Ks, I thought that was awesome, and I wanted to give it a try.
Nowadays, I run so I can hopefully provide a good example for my kids. I grew up grossly obese, but was always told that I’d grow into my body. Well guess what never happened? Instead I developed a very timid personality and self-image issues. Ultimately, my goal is to make sure that my kids grow up with healthy habits, and to not let weight issues hold them back from anything. (Rant over)

Most memorable running moment?

During a random 4 mile race, I noticed that my wife was recording the start, so I wanted to make a good show of it for the camera and start off wayyyyy above what pace I planned on running that day. Instead of dropping back when I was out of sight, I decided to just see how long I could keep the charade up. I told my wife to expect me around 34 minutes later. With less than a football field’s length left to go, I saw that the race clock was just ticking past 28 minutes. I finished at 28:58. Until that day, my usual hard pace was like an 8:30/mile. Ever since then, keeping my training pace under an 8:00 mile has become a breeze. It sounds lame, but I feel like I unlocked something in myself that day. I actually ended up winning a medal that day somehow – maybe because there was a bigger race in town that day.

Do you have a running mantra?

How do you eat a whale, Andrew? One bite at a fucking time.
I also have an ultra nerdy one that I mentally recite during the final stretches of races: “He burns pewter.” Without revealing much, it is a reference to the Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson wherein certain talented individuals are able to draw on reserves to greatly enhance their strength, balance, and endurance. Visualizing a reserve of endurance helps me to create one of my own.

What time of day do you prefer to run?

Right now I run at lunch break during the week, and the early AM on the weekend. During the winter, I like running at night, for the serenity.

Any big races coming up?

Next week I have the Broad Street Run, which is an extremely popular 10 mile race that is a net downhill. After that, I really need to get an official half under my belt, so if anyone has any suggestions of any nearby ones, I’d appreciate it. In the fall, I plan to try my first full distance at the Lehigh Valley Via Marathon.

What are your short-term running goals?

Finish a marathon under 3:50 or so, and getting the ol’ 5K under 22 minutes. What are your long-term running goals?
BQ, of course. Getting over a fear of open water and doing a tri. Running with my two boys (the DekuBabas as I will eventually refer to them).
I’d also like to get my family members to run a Ragnar with me as a sort of cheesy bonding experience. What’s one piece of running advice you’d give to the younger version of yourself? Don’t be embarrassed about trying to improve yourself. Run in the dark if you have to. Also, having legs that are used to carrying a lot more weight handle hills really well.

What is something you need to work on to become a better runner?

I’ve ignored cross-training, and really any kind of formal training really. I would really benefit from some structure I’m sure, but I still feel like I’m still riding the noob-gains. I also really need to start doing some core exercises.

What is your current shoe choice?

I rotate between Hoka Vanquish 3s and Clifton 3s currently.

What is your ideal running weather?

40 degrees Fahrenheit, early AM, light mist.

Do you have any social media accounts you’d like to share?

Not at the moment

Just For Fun:

What’s your spirit animal?

An orca whale. Those things are scary fast for their size. Also one of the reasons why I have a crippling fear of open water

What hobbies and interests do you have besides running?

I have a few hobbies: making mead, reading fantasy novels, and crushing fools in quizzo. I have interest in travel, but I just can’t find the time for it.

Do you have any hidden talents?

I am a fountain of useless knowledge. I’m also very good at logic puzzles, untying knots, and spot-the-difference puzzles.

Biggest pet peeve?

Philadelphia draws a lot of tourists, and while most people are fine, some groups will walk at a glacial pace while also spanning a 9 foot wide sidewalk. There is a limit to the amount of brotherly love that I am willing to show on behalf of my city’s sake, and the line is drawn lumbering walls of people.

Dream job! What would it be?

I wish I could open up my own meadery and old-timey inn. I would wake up early each morning, bake bread and pies for later customers. After that, I’d work on batches of mead and cider that would put even the hardiest of patrons on their ass within two glasses. At night, I’d enjoy serving as a barkeep and just bs-ing with local folk.

Favorite Quote or Poem?

I thought it was a joke when I was younger, but I’ve really come to appreciate the poem, The Red Wheelbarrow, by William Carlos Williams.

What is your favorite movie?

The Count of Monte Cristo, the one with Jim Caviezel.

What is your biggest character flaw?

I’m a cranky son of a bitch when I miss out on sleep.

What songs have you been listening to recently?

Cool Head – Travis Barker ft Kid Cudi, King Kunta – Kendrick Lamar, Dare - Gorillaz

What are some of your favorite non-running subreddits?

/Mead , /Philadelphia, /Churning , /Cosmere, /Insurance, /InsurancePros

One Last Question:

What is the origin of your username?

Ocarina of Time. Frankly, I was amazed that this name was available when I made a reddit account many moons ago.

That's it folks! Have a great weekend and enjoy the miles.

Thanks for reading everyone!

Hey, y'all. I host bar trivia 5 nights per week now, and each night is a little different. I figured I'd kind of give a run down of how each night goes, in case people are looking to try something new. I always do 5 rounds, with a different theme for each round. It usually goes Picture Round (10 pics to identify in some way), Current Events, Nerd Round (that's stuff you could have learned in school - history, science, geography, politics), Sound Round (music or speeches from movies or stuff like that - I often do rounds like Disney Songs in Foreign Languages or 90s Hip Hop Sped Up 40%), and a Pop Culture or Oddball Round. 10 questions each round. I also give teams a halftime break to smoke or hit the restroom or whatever, plus a speed round (a little 2 minute/two point thing) and a Hoarder's Delight drawing, where I give away some random crap.
Here is how the week usually goes:

• Sunday: GrassLands Brewery on Gaines Street, 5pm. This one is LGBT-themed, mostly. A few recent rounds included Women Athletes, Cross Gender Song Covers, Brunch Trivia, Civil Rights Court Cases, and Queer SciFi. Top teams win bar tabs. If the weather is good, we do this outside on their deck. You are welcome to bring food in or order from Gaines Street Pies and they'll bring it over to you. The local LGBT community is always looking for something fun to do, and people have started hanging around afterward for beers and conversation. They also have plenty of board games to borrow.
  
• Monday: Under Wraps on the Parkway near HH Gregg, 7pm. Delicious Mediterranean food that won't kick you in the wallet. They've just started carrying beer and having night time stuff, so I'm building this night from scratch. Come get in on the ground floor. This one is PG, so bring your nerdy kids. Recent topics: board games, martial arts movies, cooking shows on tv, Shakespeare. Food or beer tab for the top team.
  
• Tuesday: Northside Pies at 1355 Market St, 7:30pm. First place wins an 18" pizza and gets to take home Quizzo the Trivia Trophy for the week to show off. This one is PG-13ish, but people do bring even little kids and there's never been a problem, either for adults or kids. Except that one time my whole family turned up for my birthday and my nephews were kind of wild, but that's not exactly normal. This night tends to be extra geeky because that matches the crowd. Cosplay Pics rounds, how heroes got their powers, space science, pop songs covered on kids' toys, that kind of thing. Tons of fun, and we get done in time for everyone to go over to Lofty Pursuits afterward for some ice cream.
  
• Wednesday: Proof in Railroad Square, 7:30 PM. Bar tab prizes for the top two teams and the winning team gets to take the Belt of Champions for the week. There's almost always a food truck, or you can get food to go (I suggest the Crum Box Gastgarden in the caboose around the corner - they make their own amazing sausage) and bring it in. You know they have excellent beer. This is out on their beer garden unless it rains, and in the spring this is easily one of the nicest spots in town. You can play ping pong, boccie, or cornhole before or after trivia, too. Lost of competition at this one if you dig that rush. 21+ so fuck that PG shit. The topics really run the gamut - anything from slang origins to movies from the villain's perspective, George Washington to celeb weddings, Tally history to foods named after people.
  
• Thursday: The Wilbury on Gaines Street, 8 pm. If there us a show at the Wilbury, we do it at Warhorse in Gaines Street Pies (same owners). The Wilbury has some of the best bbq you'll ever cram in your face, The Warhorse has all that great pizza, and both offer a full bar. Tabs or pizza for top teams, depending on the spot. This is my Friday (no trivia on the next two days) and it gets kind of rowdy. Definitely an R rating (mostly for language), but 18+ is totally okay. The music rounds tend to be strange covers or altered in some way. I've done stuff like Cult Movies as Haikus or Personal Ads from Historic Figures at this one, along with the more normal trivia stuff. Seriously fun.
  

If you check out the Bar Trivia With Hank FB page you can find a puzzle every night for an extra point, hints on the event pages, any schedule changes, etc. I don't do straight up sports rounds and I try to prevent cheating, because that sucks. Come play some time.

Title says it all. Myself and a friend are putting together a Seinfeld Quizzo at the bar he works at. Both of us are huge Seinfeld fans, but this is our first time doing a quizzo night. I was hoping that this sub could give me some feedback on the quality of the trivia questions I chose. Would like it to be a nice mix of questions in terms of difficulty. Don't want it to be too easy or too hard.
