Just like everything else on earth, our Quizzo Bowl schedule is all wonky now because of COVID. Typically we do it in February, but that was clearly out this year. We talked about doing it in Summer, but nobody was really doing larger events this summer, due primarily to not having enough staff. So now we’re in late September, and we’ve got two different options. Should we try to do it in November, then do next years in the spring (the Broad Street Run model) or should we just hold off, accept that we won’t get one in in 2021, and pick back up in February 2021? Let us know in this poll.

We’re back to the scene of the crime on Tuesday nights. After a year and a half off, we’re starting back up at Founding Fathers on Tuesday nights. In case you hadn’t heard, they recently re-opened under new ownership but with the exact same vibe. We kick it off next Tuesday at 8 PM. Can’t wait!

We did it for the Super Bowl, and we’re doing it again for the Eagles Cowboys game on Monday night. The South Philly Sharks have been using football as a tool to empower young men in our city for almost 30 years now. Unlike sports leagues in the suburbs, sports leagues in the city are almost always cash strapped, and the Sharks are no exception. Let’s do our small part to help, and have some fun doing it. Here’s how it works:

1. Go here and fill out a square (any square will do, we’ll pick the numbers randomly).
2. Then send $10 to @jgtquizzo on venmo or johnny at johnnygoodtimes.com on paypal. That buys you a square (you can purchase up to 3).

Once we have all of the squares filled out, we’ll draw the numbers randomly. Then on Monday night, we’ll have a winner after each quarter. How does the contest work?

• If the score after the first quarter is 14-7 Eagles, whoever has the 4 Eagles and the 7 Cowboys will be the winner.

• Winners each quarter will receive an Eagles prize pack from Shibe Sports valued at $90. So pick a square, raise money for a great program, and have some skin in the game on Monday night.

• 100% of the proceeds raised will go towards the South Philly Sharks.

Oh, and while i’ve got you here, a quick shoutout to our 30 teams playing in the Fall Brawl. With $25 of each team’s fee going towards charity, we raised $750 for the Poor People’s Army. The first $500 will go towards their ongoing effort to help Philadelphia’s homeless. The other $250 will go towards restocking the food pantry they run in which they give away free food to anyone who needs it. Thank you guys!

Hard to believe it folks, but we’re starting to book events for the upcoming holiday season. And we are set up to take both in-person and virtual quizzo events. Wanna learn more? Just answer a couple of quick questions about your event and we’ll be back to you within 48 hours. Whether it’s a party for friends, a charity, or for your business, we’d love to help you have fun this year!

Really excited to host a special one time quizzo this Sunday at Frankford Hall! To help celebrate their Oktoberfest celebration, we’ll be doing a quiz focused on Germany, beer, and festivals. Lots of great prizes and specials in a beautiful outdoor space. I really enjoy the heck out of hosting there. And yes, football will be on the TVs. Hope to see you there!

Tuesday night, I’m back in action at Trademan’s (13th and Chestnut). A beautiful outdoor space, gonna be a great night to quiz. Weather looks perfect. Action starts at 7 PM. A lot of people told me they’d quiz if we did it outside…well here’s your chance!

Wednesday, we’re back at Dock Street, where we continue to rock. Packed house. 8 PM start time. Good beer. Let’s do it.

Two quizzes on Thursday. We kick off with a special pop up quiz at the Deli at Dwell (Game time is 7 PM). We had a blast there on Thursday. Quizzo regular Taryn’s team won our inaugural quiz, and she’ll actually be hosting the quiz on Thursday! Quiz is on, rain or shine. If it rains, we’ll move indoors. Really great space, great food, beer on draft or by the 6 pack, nice owners. Come on out.

Carl takes the reins at Birra at 8 PM. Come out to get some great pizza and a great quiz.

On Sunday, I will be hosting a special Oktoberfest quiz at Frankford Hall! It’s a spectacular outdoor space, lots of great German beer, and a special beer/German theme for the quiz.

It’s quizzin’ season, folks!

Trying out a new quizzo spot next week. The Deli at Dwell (2nd and West Thompson) just opened recently and I went there a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Beers on draft, four packs you can buy out of the fridge, great food, and best of all, a lovely outdoor space. If you know anybody in the Fishtown area who wants to quiz, tell them to come on out! September 16th, 7 PM. If we get a good turnout, maybe we’ll return more often. Hope to see ya there!
