INTERESTING MOMENTS

How may people are in space right now, we asked. The answer “technically we’re all in space”, we decided wasn’t technically wrong.

Spinoffs of The Real Housewives of New York City? How about Chlamydia?

We asked a gambler’s question about how long it take mammals to urinate. Some of you tried to test it in the few minutes between the gambler’s question & the end of round two.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Every team got a question on French Presidents, except for the one team with an ACTUAL French person.

We played Livin’ on a Prayer in a medieval style. People still sung along.

And we had to break a tie when one team answered with “rock paper scissors” like they did when playing “rock paper scissors lizard Spock” on Big Bang Theory and another answered with “scissors paper rock”. Normally you get credit for that, but not when it’s a tie at the end of the night.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Our bonus question on French expressions for hangovers was answered very quickly… by a Frenchman.

On a question about countries with large populations that are spelled with the letters TA, that Antarctica was incorrect, because it’s not a country, and even if it was, it’s population isn’t all that high.

And as always, we saw people arguing intensely about the gambler’s question, when not one of them knew the answer. But their confidence was impressive.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

One team was all set to guess wrong on a jackpot question, before they reconsidered, concluding that their first instinct was too obvious to be a jackpot answer. Turns out they were right.

When we asked about how long you would survive on planets other than Earth, one team told us that was a silly question. Hey, that’s our speciality!

And one team came up short of first prize by a single point… after forgetting to make a choice on the dilemma question. Dammit people! These are really basic mistakes!

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

We got complaints that we weren’t asking any English questions… you know, at a trivia night in Australia. They didn’t seem to care for our remark that literally all of the questions were in English.

If you suck at using your inside voice, you’re going to give away answers. Lots of them.

We witnessed two teammates arguing bitterly about who was right on a question about countries bordering Austria. Turn out both of them were wrong.

And we had a theme to our picture questions with all of them being movies & TV series filmed in the same cafe. After the second question, someone announced to the whole room “hey these are all in the same cafe.” Which meant everyone got our question on whether they were all filmed in the same place or not.

Sometimes you really need to remember to keep your mouth shut. 

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS 

When we asked about Italian cheeses versus Italian rivers, one played of Italian descent managed to get all three, and as his teammates reminded him, he “got to keep his Italian card”.

Countries spelled using the letter V? We got Bavaria & the Soviet Union, which at least used to be countries. We also got Ibiza, which isn’t a country now, wasn’t a country in the past, and doesn’t contain the letter V.

Who played Dracula in the 1958 film? Betty White according to one team. (It would explain why she lived so long.)

See you next week.

 INTERESTING MOMENTS

A team that really needed points went for it in the bonus round when we were looking for a US state with 3/4 of the letters being vowels. Their guess… Philadelphia. Which is neither a state, nor does it contain enough vowels. But they went for it and we salute that.

The blokiest team at one of our shows turned out to be big fans of Shania Twain. Don’t let preconceptions deceive you.

A math question about John Travolta’s film career saw one team get every element of the math correct, and then forget to actually do the math. You’ve got to finish the job people!

Someone complained that by playing an audio clip of Breaking Bad, we made them watch the whole series again. We make no apologies.

See you next week.

INTERESTING MOMENTS 

One of our hosts gave a clue that a word we were looking for was 6 letters… when the word was militia… which is seven letters. Because sometimes counting is hard.

There was a debate over whether or not Russia counts as a European country. By the way… it is.

One team responded that there were no smart asses on their team. Which is untrue. We can state without fear of contradiction that their team is made up ENTIRELY of smart asses.

INTERESTING MOMENTS

Someone tried to answer a yes/no dilemma question by saying “yeah nah”, which according to broad understanding of Australian slang, means no. The overall answer was no, but we proceeded to poll the crowd on whether they should get the point.

They did. And they still managed to come in last.

Next week will be quiet with most venues shut down, though we are planning an online show for those of you who get bored having time off.

See you next week.
