Action starts at O’Neals at 8 p.m. All new questions tonight. Winning team gets a $50 gift cert. If the winners can score over 120 points, they’ll get a $50 bonus.

Carl B Sure, meanwhile, will be hosting at Alla Spina tonight at 8 p.m. $2 off drafts and deep dish pizza. A great spot to quiz.

On to Tap House at 10:15, where we will again be under the stars. It was a beautiful night last Tuesday, and it should be just as nice tonight. There are $175 worth of prizes up for grabs, and it is anybody’s ballgame (I think a score of 76 won last week’s quiz).

We had a question about Goya last week, so I thought I’d post the picture above, one of his most famous works called El Tres de Mayo de 1808. It is considered a very modernist painting in that almost all artists previously had depicted war as something glorious, whereas this painting showed the horrors of it. When Napoleon appointed his brother King of Spain, many Spanish revolted on May 2nd, 1808. The next day, hundreds of those protestors were rounded up and shot by the French. You can read more about that story here. This painting is currently found in the Museu del Prado in Madrid.

Quizzo Tonight

Yes, we are scheduled to have a quiz tonight. With the fact that it’s Game 7 and it’s Memorial Day, I’m not expecting a record crowd, but we did actually have a few teams show last year, so who knows? I’m gonna take it easy today, so the questions will be from Thursday’s quiz (so if you played on Wednesday or Thursday last week, don’t show up tonight. I’ll have a new quiz tomorrow night). Action starts at 9:30.

JGTs Latest Adventures in Podcasting

thisweek

Here’s the latest episode, and it’s very funny. We discuss Hillary and Donald Trump undergoing a Trial by Fire, we use the word “defenestration” as much as humanly possible, and we get in a huge argument over whether it’s considered cheating if you make out with someone in a different decade after traveling through time. And if you haven’t listened yet, you may want to check out last week’s episode, where Marilyn Monroe sings “Happy Birthday” to Nat the Truth at Madison Square Garden, and Nat’s wife isn’t invited to the party.

And Sixers fans, should the Sixers draft Simmons or Brandon Ingram? Should they trade Nerlens Noel or Jahlil Okafor? And which is a bigger violation at a baseball game: cowboy boots or flip flops? We discuss on the latest Jawnville podcast. 

Quizzo Tonight


One quiz tonight: Sidecar at 9:30. One of my favorite places to do the quiz. Hope to see ya there. We’ve also got a new quiz starting this week at Lo Spiedo on Wednesday. Just a heads up. I’ll have a lot more details soon.

This week, I’m gonna be featuring videos made by my buddy Steve Gerben. This guy is just terrific. Check out his amazing book review of Why Nations Fail above and you’ll see why.
