Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 24 November 2024

You may have seen the Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson fight recently.

If you didn’t, you didn’t miss much. Most people found it pretty underwhelming.

It seems that beating up a man who hasn’t fought in 20 years wasn’t a great look for Jake Paul. With some people proposing who he can fight next.

So for your team name this week, we want you to suggest Jake Paul’s next opponent.

Muhammad Ali

A 6 year old child who has had boxing briefly explained to them

The people who run Netflix

Pushing his grandmother down the stairs

Mike Tyson transported through time from 1988

Me. I can take a punch for $20 million.

Tell us who Jake Paul can fight next for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.

Right before one of our music questions, someone interrupted our host to ask if we were going to play the music before they had to guess. Yes, they thought this might be trivia for psychics.

We were also asked on the second question of the quiz if google was allowed.
