Shout out to the Cool Cats and Kittens, who took home first place in the April Madness tournament. They had to hold off a plucky Underground Bard team and the upstarts COVID Isn’t Real, 46-44-44.
30th seed Au Bon Pandemic’s magical run ended in 4th place. A hearty thank you to everyone who played and I look forward to seeing you this summer, either in person (hopefully soon!) or as part of our Summer Sizzler.
Hey gang, if you’re one of the 42 teams that didn’t advance to the Elite 8, worry not; you can still play quizzo this week. Sign ups are here (click offseason tab at the bottom of the page). Openings for next week available too. The usual deal: $35 a game, payable to @jgtquizzo on Venmo or johnny at johnnygoodtimes.com on PayPal.
Details coming on the Sizzlin’ Summer Super League coming this week.
The Oscars are on April 25th, and we’re ready to celebrate. J Michael will be your host for our first annual Ultimate Oscars Pregame Quizzo. Questions about the past 91 years of the best films of all time (and, well, some bad films that somehow snuck into the mix). Furthermore, Oscars is a great party night, so we’ll have Bartender Dan (below) teaching us how to make a couple of Oscars specific drinks. Here’s how that will work; you sign your team for the quiz ($40 gets your whole team in for the quiz) then a few days before the quiz, we’ll send you an email with your zoom invite and the ingredients for our Sunday night drinks. And we’ll wrap the whole thing up just in time for the Oscars to begin. Hope you’ll join us!
We just launched our latest Worthless Knowledge Podcast episode, and this is our best one yet. We welcomed Chip Chantry to the pod to discuss an answer from last week’s quiz: the Noid. We discussed the Domino’s phenomenon, why he was more dangerous than the Hamburgler, and then introduced Nat to the Swiss Cheese Pervert (figuratively). You can listen above on spotify, or here on itunes. If you enjoy it, subscribe. And if you REALLY wanna scores some brownie points, leave a review.
Also, check out some other fun podcasting going on with our crew:

Thanks for your suggestions for topics for April Madness! We got some great ones. We have cut them down to our favorite 20, of which we’ll select 15 over the next 5 weeks. They are:
Movie Club is this Sunday at 6 PM! This month we’re watching Best Picture nominee Sound of Metal, taking a brief quiz on it, and then discussing the film. Hope you’ll join us! You can sign up here. We’ve been having a lot of fun with these…hope to see you Sunday night!

Wanna hang out (Finally!), eat a burger, drink a beer, and do some good for the community? Join us at 1505 West Allegheny on Saturday at noon. We’ll have gloves and garbage bags, we’ll have the grill, we’ll have tunes, and we’ll have some beers. Hope to see ya there!
Also: Philly activist Nasir Bell and are going to be doing a lot of community activities this summer and fall. If the past year has taught us anything, it’s that if we ever want Philly to change for the better, it’s up to us…the government, the corporations, the local sports teams, etc. aren’t going to do shit. So we started a little group where we’ll be updating all of the stuff we’ll be working on in the next few months. And I really hope you’ll join us…the other thing we learned this past year is that we’ve got a really special community here, and I think we can use it as not just an opportunity to answer trivia questions, but to do some good in the city we call home. You can follow us on FB here, or Instagram here.
