Thursday: 7PM

Latest Game: 7/10/25

Five Point Five Brewing Company poured the beers, and the teams poured… varying amounts of brainpower onto the answer sheets. Some fizzed up to the top, others went flat faster than a day‑old IPA. Let’s unpack tonight’s beautifully chaotic leaderboard.

My Drinking Team Has a Trivia Problem (72)

Turns out the “problem” is winning too often. They cruised all night, snagged perfect 12‑point rounds like coasters, and wrapped with a fearless 20‑point wager. Pro tip: when your drinking team beats the sober thinkers, maybe buy the bar a victory round.

Tipsy Dick (57)

Blasted out of the gate with twin 12s, then smashed head‑first into that zero in Round 6. Still clawed back enough to hold second place—proof that enthusiasm and a mildly obscene team name can get you pretty far.

Like A Deck of Cards (55)

Perfect opening round, steady play, but the final wager was a shrug. They finished “just” in the money, which is also how many of us feel trying to shuffle a 52‑card deck after two pints.

Detective Popcorn (54)

Spent the first half dropping kernels everywhere—then exploded with 20 in Round 5 and another 20 wager to vault into striking distance. A negative score in Round 3 reminds us every whodunit needs at least one red herring.

Rumham (51)

Middling early, spiked a flawless 20 in Round 6, then decided “That’ll do.” Respect the commitment: salt, rum, and a healthy indifference to finishing above fourth.

Del Boca Vista Phase 2 (49)

Jerry’s parents would be proud(ish). Impressive consistency until the wheels fell off in the wager discussion. Still, they stayed ahead of the median—just like a Florida condo board election.

Quincy (44)

From zero to hero-ish: an opening goose egg followed by respectable middling. They never wowed, but hey, sometimes being aggressively average keeps you out of last call.

Just Hoppy 2 Be Here (42)

Bounced around the 10‑point lane like a kid on a sugar rush. Failed to wager, perhaps out of fear of spilling the flight paddle. Final score says “happy to participate,” mission accomplished.

Danny and the B1tchzes (40)

Started slow, slammed a 20 in Round 4, then dozed off. Basically the trivia equivalent of finishing a marathon on a couch after mile 15.

Just 'Cuz (38)

A huge 12 in Round 2, a -10 wager to cap it off. That’s not playing for glory—that’s hitting “send” on an email you know you’ll regret.

Lone Star (33)

Steady, conservative, ultimately forgettable—very on‑brand for a team named after the coldest bargain beer in Texas. Lost nine points on the wager, and possibly their will to compete.

Supper Club (29)

Consistently single‑digit rounds followed by single‑digit yawns. More “Tuesday pasta special” energy than “members‑only club.”

Gooner Squad (27)

Hit a wall in Round 5, yanked the e‑brake in the wager, and still somehow avoided absolute rock bottom. Arsenal would be proud: promising build‑up play, disappointing finish.

New Kid on the Block (14)

Reality check: trivia nights aren’t won on nostalgia alone. That -20 wager? Total Step By Step off a cliff.

Uncle Buck (14)

Barely outscored the number they started with. At least they left with the same jovial energy John Candy would bring—just with none of the points.
