Business is about to pick up round here

Hello Biggies,

First, I want to thank each and every darn one of you who came to the inagural show at Paddy Murphy's in Baldwin Park. At the risk of jinxing myself, I have a really good feeling about that venue! I think I may have found a nice long-term home. I will say, it helps that they are not a franchise and therefore have vision......what? too harsh?

Anyway, congrats to our first Paddy Murphy winners LITTLE BIT & THE OTHERS! They are Big Trivia converts as they have played Curtis' show numerous times and been succesful! Welcome aboard Little Bit and the Others. May your run as a Biggie be as long as your run as an Earthling (or whatever he calls his teams:)

Thanks also to Paddy Cakes, Mac Babes, Second Hand Smoke and Tispsy McStagger and his Boozebag Jamboree for making our first night special! Here's to the future!!

This week will be even better with the addition of Coasters Sports Pub located inside Boardwalk Bowl! This show has a chance to be huge as well! What a great venue this is. It screams trivia!! You will see what I mean when you join me for the show this Thursday at 9pm!!! Come one....screw it...COME ALL!!! Let's show the owners that they made the wise choice as they will now be the Thursday home of the Big Trivia Show. As for our former Thursday home.....eh....nah. They will find out soon enough on what they missed. I am counting on you guys to bring the funk so I hope to see you all this Thursday! Here is the address in case you're not sure where it is.

Coaster’s Sports Pub
Boardwalk Bowl
10749 E Colonial Dr
Orlando, FL 32817

Next monday (July 7th) will mark the debut of the Big Trivia Happy Hour Show at Copper Rocket. That will be a daily show from 5:30-7p. Please spread the word!

Before I give you the Phraze that Payz, let me tell you what happened to me this weekend! I had my house sprayed for bugs and my bug guy noticed something peculiar in the back yard. It was brown, oddly shaped, and full of berries....Give up????

IT WAS BEAR POOP!!!!! That's right, an actual Bear said hello to me and left his mark by dropping a berry filled duece right by my daughter's swing set. Living in Apopka does have its occurences and this is by far a first for me!!

So this weeks PHRAZE THAT PAYZ IS...............BEAR POOP!!!!!

Wriete this disgusting phraze in the "Phraze That Payz Is.." space and receive 3 extra points on your overall score for the game.


Hope to see you all at Paddy Murphy's and Coasters. Remember, recruit a new BIGGIE and receive a point for each person you bring!

Until we meet again!!

Good Times

Guess who's back...back again....

HELLO BIGGIES!!!!!

You just can't keep a good (or even an "ok") trivia host down for long!

Yes, minor setbacks were suffered by Bennigans and Smokey Bones but where one (or two) doors closes.......

THREE DOORS OPEN!!!!!!

That's right! The BIG Trivia Show will have three new venues to choose from starting TONIGHT!!

I am pleased and honored to announce Paddy Murphy's in Baldwin Park will be the new Tuesday night home of the BIG Trivia Show. The show kicks off at 8pm. Paddy Murphy's is located on New Broad St overlooking beautiful Lake Baldwin! I am so excited about bringing trivia to Baldwin and am even more excited to have you...my friends...come and join me for the kickoff show tonight! Hope you can make it!

Bennigans loss becomes Boardwalk Bowl's gain!! That's right! Starting Thursday July 3rd at 9pm, you will be able to catch the BIG Trivia Show at Coasters Sports Pub right inside Boardwalk Bowl at 10747 E. Coloniel Dr. I am really hoping to see alot of my Bennigan's Biggies at this show. I really want to thank Boardwalk Bowl for the opportunity to bring Earth Trivia aboard. Lets make them happy they did it!

Now for the third exciting bit of news.....BIG HAPPY HOUR TRIVIA COMES TO COPPER ROCKET IN MAITLAND!!

Now, the start date has not been determined just yet. I am thinking it will be the first week in July, but all else has been confirmed!!

More information as it come available! Thanks so mych to Kevin and the crew at Copper Rocket! Your gonna love our show!

So, I'm hoping to see you all tonight at Paddy Murphy's! It'll be a blast as always. Lets show em how we represent!

Hello BIGGIES!!!!

Sorry I'm late on the blog. Its been a busy (but awesome) weekend!! Thanks to Turning Pointe Dance studio www.turningpointedance.com for allowing me to host a round of trivia for charity! The charity raised money to "A Hope For Haiti Children's Orphanage" and was a smashing success. For those of you with children, please consider Turning Pointe's Summer Fitness Fun Camp! You'll be glad you did.


Please click on their website and check them out. There are not better people in this world than Turning Pointe. How do I know? My daughter is a dance student there and it has already made a world of difference in her life and will continue to! Thanks Turning Pointe! Much Love!!

As foir this week's exciting shows, here are the highlights.

Congrats to "Gram Ram and Kris" for another dominant performance on Wednesday at Smokey Bones!!

Not only we're you guys awesome, but you brought a new Biggie to the show and therefore earned an extra point on the quiz!

Great Job!!

A terrific night of trivia at Bennigan's saw "I Peed in ur Pool" run away with the competition! 81 points in a three round game is an impressive feat indeed!! They also brought a new Biggie but much like Gram Ram, they really did not need any extra points as they were dominant without it.

Now, I would like to welcome FIVE NEW MEMBERS to our little newsletter!! The secret is getting out that this is the way to earn extra points on your quiz. The blog is ok, but the benefits are killer :)

When you win a round or a game by one or two points, you will be happy you signed up!

I am looking for your feedback on the current format of the BIG Trivia Show so please take the poll.

Still in need of teams to compete on my radio show Game Show Radio on 1190 WAMT. It would be for the Titans of Trivia on Thursdays where you can win a $50 Tab at your trivia place of choice!!!

Leave a comment if you are interested and I will schedule you a time.

Ok Biggies, here is this week's Phraze That Payz...ready???

HOPE FOR HAITI

Simply write the Phraze at the top of your answer sheet where it say Phraze That Payz and receive 2 extra points on your overall score!! The points are awarded after the second round. Don't forget!!

Also, remember you will receive 1 extra point for every new person you bring to the BIG Trivia Show so let me know if you have a new Biggie and I will hook it up!

I will see you guys at Smokey Bones on Wednesday night at 7pm and Bennigans UCF Thursday night at 9pm.

Thankls for your continued support of the BIG Trivia Show and make sure you participate on Game Show Radio every weekday morning from 9-10A. It would be much appreciated!

Until next week Biggies......GOOD TIMES!
