- PUB QUIZ—Wednesdays @ 8:00pm
Well, quizmaster Danny was back at it again Wednesday night to host King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub after having taken a 10 day vacation to Denver, Austin, and San Antonio, just to name a few! Danny gave a few of his highlights from his trip, including going to the Denver Mint, going to both Colorado's and Texas's state capitol buildings, seeing the Foo Fighters in Austin and getting Dave Grohl's guitar pick from "Kiss Guy" at the concert last weekend!
And boy, did all the teams make me feel the love by telling me how much you missed me! You really know how to inflate a quizmaster's ego! Although, the praises did come before the game started, so maybe it was a bunch of kiss-assery to make me give each team more points? Well, it worked! 😉
7 teams showed up to compete for 3 prizes and a round of shots shots shots shots shots!
For the drinking round, if you were wondering what those funny pictures are up there, well they were submissions from some of the teams for best photo! Which one do you think won? Well, I'll keep you guessing as you which photo it was, but I will tell you Hair is Not an Option won the round of shots! Way to go!
Coming in 3rd place were the Mighty Mighty Puffins after leading the game through 5 rounds of play! They were passed in round 6 after only being able to get 8 of the 10 right on the matching round where teams had to match the signature food dish with the restaurant that serves it. But they still scored a whopping 52 points and a $10 gift certificate! Sweet job!
Coming in second after passing the Puffins to take the lead on Round 6, was Alternative Facts! Also having a strong game, AF scored 59 points! However they were surpassed for the lead in the final round of play. But not to worry, they still took home a $20 gift certificate! Not a bad night's work!
That only leaves 1st place. That honor went to Hanky Panky who took the lead from Alternative Facts in the very last round after guessing the most Vice Presidents whose last name ended in either the letter "E" or "Y". Impressive, very impressive! Enjoy your $30 gift certificate!
And that just about wraps it up for Wednesday night's recap of King Trivia at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills! Hope you enjoyed it! See you next week!

Full House
It was a packed house at Pickwick's on Wednesday night. We had contestants of all kinds, we had some new players, some returning players, we had players who were old, and players who were coming for the title of Trivia Prince & Princesses, with teams consisting of friends, to your "Best B's," teams consisting of families. Unfortunately out o fall of them only one team would come out on top. The Mighty Mighty Puffins took a strong lead in the first round maximizing their opportunities for points by doubling up and getting the bonus points for being one of the teams registered that night. They kept their lead all the way til the third round where The Glorious Bastards came back and closed the round by tying the score with the Mighty Mighty Puffins at 33 points a piece. Surprise, surprise however, Alternative facts came out of the shadows in round 4 pulling a stunning comeback taking the lead with 39 points. Meanwhile the Glorious Bastards & Mighty Mighty Puffins where going back and forth taking head of different rounds, it wasn't enough to beat the consistency of points that was given by Alternative Facts. Who would have that our King of Trivia would be Alternative Facts!!

Well, it's the day after Wednesday and you know what that means. It's Thursday? No. Well, yes but also it's time for the weekly King Trivia recap at Pickwick's Pub in Woodland Hills. So, here it goes...
13 teams went head to head to try and take 1st, 2nd or 3rd place of course, but there was also a drinking round where teams tried to win a round of shots for whomever was drinking!
For the drinking round teams had to submit their best movie mashups. They had to take 2 movies and put them together and come up with a description for the movies. Some of the titles included Ready Player One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Cloverfield of Dreams, Dark City Slickers, Get Out of Africa, and LaLa Land Before Time just to make a few. But the team with the winning movie mashup went to Team Saucin' with there submission of No Country For Old White Men Can't Jump. You can read their description in the pictures above. They cast the movie and everything! Amazing job to all the teams!
Speaking of team Saucin', guess who won 2nd place? Yep, that's right! They did that too! Saucin' scored 82 points on their way to second place and a $20 gift certificate! Successful Double Downs in rounds 1, 5, and 6 paved their way to the second place prize! Awesome job!
Coming in third place and winners of the $10 gift certificate was team Kenny and Toast! They scored 71 points by doubling down in the 1st, 3rd, and 7th rounds! Wow! Way to go!
Coming in 1st place of course, were the Dominating Dominating Puffins! They scored 92 points and successfully doubled down in round 1, 2, 5 and 7! And they got the 10 point clue right on the 1st clue! Amazing job! Wow!
