Sign Ups for This Coming Week!

Have at it, folks! Price went up just a touch, to $30 per team. Not trying to jack the price up, just trying to keep it as cheap as possible while also trying to make up some of what I’m losing each week at the bars. Hope you guys understand. We’ll keep it here at $30 for awhile.

We’re also going to be trying out a tournament Next Week (April 6th-9th) and seedings for that tourney will be determined by how well teams do this week…your score will determine your seeding next week. We’ve got 39 slots for this coming week: top 32 teams make the tourney. We’ll have more details soon. Looking forward to quizzing again this week!

Our topic for the coming week? Tigers and Kings.

Virtual Quizzo Sign Ups for This Week

Hey gang, you are now able to sign up for this weeks quizzes. Pretty simple: go to this sign up sheet, put your team name, captain’s name, and email in the time slot you want your team to play. It’s a $25 entry fee per team, and the money can go to @jgtquizzo on venmo or johnny@johnnygoodtimes dot com on Paypal. Once you’re paid, your team is locked in for that time.

Each quiz lasts about 30 minutes. They are all done through Zoom, so your team does NOT need to be in the same location to play. You don’t have to even be in Philly to play…we had a player last week in Oregon. We did it last week and it was a ton of fun and a great way for teams to hang out…several of the teams that played last week have already signed up for this week’s quiz. Team size that I highly recommend is 5 players (though you can go up to 8). There are spaces open for both Carl and myself, so plenty of chances to play this week.

Hope to see ya this week!

UPDATE: Slots filled up extremely quickly, so I’ve added Philly comedian Chip Chantry to the team, opening up 9 more slots if your team is still trying to join in. He’s on the spreadsheet!

Last Week’s Final Scores

Interview with Philly Mag’s Victor Fiorillo

We’ve gone from a twice a month podcast to a three times a week live show on Facebook. We hope you’ll join us. On Wednesday, we sat down with legendary rocker Kenn Kweder. Friday night we spoke with Philly Mag’s Victor Fiorillo. Fascinating to hear various Philadelphias talk about how they’re dealing in these extraordinary times. Hope you’ll check them out.

March 19th Quizzo Update

Hey guys, did another round of quizzo last night, and we had a lot of fun once again. Had three new teams, giving up a total of 6 so far. The Specific Jawns (Boots Boccuti’s team) had a chance to take the lead but missed the final question despite kicking the right answer around. Ouch! Here’s our scores after two days:

  • Boyz II Menehune 46
  • Specific Jawns 41
  • Social Distance Warriors 34
  • Jawn of the Dead 24
  • Jerry’s on the Mat 24
  • Testes Factory 15

I have three more set up for tonight, and may try to add a 4th. Trying to get as many teams in as possible who signed up (ones I can’t get in this week I’ll definitely get in next week).

Still determining how to set up a schedule for next week. Probably going to have something up and running by the weekend. Really been awesome to do this so far. Great to see everybody, and it’s really cool to see friends seeing each other for the first time since our world’s got turned upside down, even if it is virtually. Talk soon! -JGT

Virtual Quizzo Update

We tried the new online quizzo last night, and I think we may have changed the game…forever. It was a really cool experience. A bit of background: on Monday, Trivia Art, Boots Boccuti and a couple of other friends beta tested a bunch of concepts on Zoom. We were gonna do a head to head game, but Carl pushed really hard to keep it a team game, and it was ABSOLUTELY the right call. It was not only fun to host last night, it was already really nice to be a part of friends seeing each other and interacting with each other live on screen. It was also really amusing for me to see the process of teams answering the questions. We had three teams play last night. After making a few adjustments for point totals, here were the scores:

  • Boyz II Menehune 46
  • Social Distance Warriors 34
  • Jerry’s on the Mat 24
  • Testes Factory 15

We have three teams lined up for tonight. Same quiz, and we’ll add their scores to the mix, and tomorrow night’s teams, to determine a “champion” by the end of the week.

As far as sign-ups: I took the previous post down because I got a lot of sign ups and I need to get all of those folks locked in on the schedule before we add more. I will come back with a better layout for next week’s sign ups. I think next week, we’ll do 3 quizzes a night, Monday-Thursday, and I’ll have a calendar where you can sign up. I should have that up and operational by Friday.

I am also working on a Jeopardy style head to head game that I hope to be unveiling for next week. Gonna work on it over the weekend. I’ll keep you updated.

In the meantime, if anybody wants to just virtually hang out, we’re doing a nightly talk show now on The Philly Blunt on Facebook. Tonight we’ll be interviewing rock legend Kenn Kweder. We’ll be going live around 10 pm. Join us!

Thanks for everybody’s patience! I know this is a crazy time for everybody, myself included. And I’m making it up as I go. But let’s stick together, and do our best to take care of each other. Talk soon-JGT
