The Oscars were on Sunday, and this year I had actually watched a few of the films! To celebrate, we’re doing an all-movie quiz this week. Our first theme week in awhile. Birra is back, and all of your other faves are on as scheduled.
We’re through three weeks of the Winter Freeze, and we certainly have some interesting scenarios. For one thing, a team has to play 3 times to be eligible for the title. So the Inturnts, who currently hold the lead, have only played once. Jake and Josh, who are currently 4th, and Reverse Cowgirls, are 8th, have also only played once. If they miss either of the next two weeks, they’re officially eliminated. Low Expectations, Gus Chiggins, and Jeremy Badtimes are 2nd, 5th, and 7th, respectively. They’ve all played twice, and by playing just once in the next two weeks, will officially be in the running. 7th Place, National Classy Day, Medium Rare Chicken, and the Little Guys have all played three times, so any times they play in the next two weeks will simply give them an opportunity to drop their lowest score. To see the full standings, and where your team stands, just go here to the spreadsheet.
We’ll return to Birra this week after cancelling last Thursday (Carl was sick).
I’ll post Winter Freeze scores through three weeks later today.
I’ve gotten back into a groove with the Friday Five newsletter. Here’s the latest one. If you’re not already signed up, you should be. Sign up here.

Kicking off the New Year with a fun little tourney at Founding Fathers. Here’s how it’s going to work, for teams who want to participate:
It lasts 5 weeks, between now and January 31st
No cost to enter; if you play 3 or more times between today and January 31st, you’ll be automatically entered
It’s a regular quiz (if you only play once this month, it’s totally fine, you just won’t be entered into the Freeze)
Over those 5 weeks, we’ll take teams top 3 scores and average them together.
If you play 5 times, we take your top 3 scores, and if you play 3 times we take all 3 scores. So if you miss a week, no problem.
After the first 3 weeks, we’ll start posting the scores here.
We’ll do our scoring online (much easier to track that way).
If you play, use the same team name (or one very similar) each week.
Winning team will win a flatscreen TV (one per team, not per person, LOL, how you decide which team member is the winner of it is up to you) and a $100 gift card (on top of your weekly winnings). 2nd Place will get $50, and 3rd will win assorted prizes.
Great way to kick off the year and have fun doing it. Action starts tonight at 8 PM. Hope to see ya there for our first quiz of 2023!
No quiz at Loco Pez, others are on as scheduled. An old classic for Round Two, and yes, a bit of a New Year’s theme for rounds one and three. Your New Year’s Resolution to play more quizzo starts NOW!
We are back at it this week, with our annual Year in Review quiz. What happened in 2022? Let’s find out this week! Carl will be filling in for me Monday-Wednesday and Steven will fill in for Taryn on Thursday. Make it happen this week!
It’s back, and more sinister than you ever imagined! We’re taking aim at Santa Claus, Christmas Carols, Ebenezer Scrooge, and the Hallmark Channel as the War on Quizmas gets underway this week. (And this quiz isn’t just for gentiles, as we’ll be battling Hanukkah too.)
Best chance to get a win? Definitely Loco Pez. Though Founding Fathers has been a little light the last couple of weeks, could be a chance to sneak a win there. Dock Street is pure mayhem. Deli at Dwell and Birra both very winnable quizzes. Here’s your schedule for the War. I better see ya at quizzo this week: that’s an order, soldier!
Hey fam, we’re back at it again this week, with our last “regular” quiz before our War on Quizmas quiz next week and our year in review quiz the week after. There’s no quiz at Loco Pez this week, as they’re having their employee party tonight. (I’m also going to attend the Wu-Tang dinner tonight with Koob, will let you know how that goes!) But everything else is on as planned. Here’s our lineup:
For a variety of reasons our annual toy drive launched a bit later than usual, and we’ve got lots of kids whose Christmas wishes we need to make come true this week. Here’s how it works: go to this sheet, fill out your name next to the toy you want to get. Mail the package to the following address:
(Child’s Name) c/o Matt Pillischer
1606 Colleen Court
Norristown, PA 19401
If you’d rather pick it up at a store and drop the toy off, you can drop it off at Shibe Sports at 13th and Walnut. Let’s make it happen for the children of Philadelphia!
Happy to be back this week after taking some personal time for the past two. Thanks to Carl and the rest of the crew for holding down the fort. We are back to our regularly schedule programming this week. Here ya go:
